Why wont my iphone 4s sync up to vista

im really having a horrible time strating to sync my new 4s up to vista, i have reinstalled and gone through the process that was given to me by itunes and they finally suggested replacing the phone. Once i hooked it up to windows 7 no prob but both computers with vista it still will not recognize my new phone in itunes. Any suggestions! There has to be an easy fix, but running out of options. any advice.

Make sure the Vista machines are up to date with their....... erm...... updates and make sure also that they have the latest .NET frameworks installed (these usually come down with the updates but are optional and could have been turned off).
If you have previously had an iPhone of another description plugged into these machines plug your 4S into it and go to device manager under 'Portable Devices' you should find the iPhone. Right click it and choose 'Update Driver Software..' Then choose the 'Search automatically for updated driver software'
That should do the trick

Why wont my iPhone 4 sync certain playlists? iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes 10.6.3

Hello!
Recently, my iPhone 4 wont sync any new playlists. When I tick the box for the playlist I want to sync, the data boxes move and the song count increases, but when I click sync, it does nothing and the playlist isn't visible on the iPhone.
So far, I've completely wiped the iPhone (doing a full restore) and tried to sync from scratch, but it seems only to be syncing the ones I had on already before I wiped it, which is very odd. Any ideas anyone?

Well, you have to minimally upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
But this costs money, so you can't do it. That means your are stuck where you are.

Why wont my iphone play all my music

Why wont my Iphone play all of the music i have saved on it from itunes

If you are using files that play on your iPhone when synced with iTunes these files should play via your website. The iPhone can play these formats.
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format
The most certain way of producing files in the correct format is to use either iMovie08 or Quicktime Pro and export in iPhone format.

Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

I have a windows 8.1 PC. I use it for work. I also have an iphone. Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1. During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged. The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%. It was 100% before I started the update. There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol. I disconnected the phone from the computer. I plugged it into the apple wall charger. It charges from that. I tried another apple cable on the PC. Still no dice. I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC. When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device. I did try re-starting the PC. I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable.
Why is my iphone 4G w ios 7.1 not charing when connected to my Win 8.1 PC?

I found the solution on my own. I opened task manager, admin, computer management, device manager. I scanned for harware changes. Apple mobile device came up with an ! symbol. I right clicked and updated the apple mobile device driver. It took about 15 seconds, but...
I never had to do this with any computer on my iphone 3 or 4G on any computer. Would have been good to know, apple.

Why wont my iphone 5 wont sync with itunes

i plug my iphone 5 into itunes and and begings to sync but when it gets to set 2 of 5 itunes says it has stopped working and turns off.
Help PLEASE!!!!

I had the same problem with my brand new iphone 5. After trying to resolve the problem using a variety of forums I took the phone to an Istore and after reloading the phone's software the problem was cured.
A far greater issue for me is how pathetic apple software has become - altough I understand that there are people that like to tinker I am not one of them - I simply expect my hardware/firmware/software to work, something apple seems incapble of doing despite the fact that they own the value chain.
Apple also seems genuinly disintrested in their customers offer only community support but of course they offer the following disclaimer:

Well done apple!
