Will Not Sync Unless Done With Wifi

So i've been doing the "Sync with wifi" thing for my ipod touch. But i've noticed that now when i go and plug my ipod into the computer with the cord, it will not read the ipod anymore and will not allow me to sync it unless its done by wifi. It use to work just fine both ways, but as of late no matter how many times i re open itunes, turn my ipod on or off, and plug/unplug my ipod it will not sync with the cord anymore. It keeps saying "Error (really long number with lots of zero's) An error occured, cannot connect to sync this iphone"

Use Google to search for that 'really long number with lots of zeroes". More than likely you are having a driver issue and that number will lead you to a Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article that will help you fix it.

IBooks will not sync PDF collections with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but not the content?

My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?

The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes.

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes. ITunes will recognize and sync up, but I now cannot manage my music on my phone. Also, all of my playlists on my iPhone were wiped out. It would be great to retrieve my phone playlists, but more important, be able to manage my music again. I'm running on Windows 7 and I own iPhone 5. Suggestions?

I have windows 8, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but i figured maybe 11.1.4 just doesn't like 8. soooo.. i went onto my computer settings and uninstalled anything and everything made my apple and then reinstalled itunes 11.1.3 and it now reads my ipod nano happy day thanks apple for making something that you can't help me with at all

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had no idea and assumed that adding a Google Account will automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion.

I downloaded song from my backup drive and now they will not sync in itunes with my itouch

I downloaded some music from my external drive to itune and it synced with my itouch but now will not sync or play on my new iphone.. has a "!" in column?

See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Notes will not Sync in iTunes with iPhone 3.0

I just installed the new 3.0 OS and notes will note sync across. I use the regular Mail application and every time I select the Sync Notes checkbox in iTunes sync setup it does the sync but then deselects the box on its own. Everything else is syncing perfectly except that. I have both a small list of notes on the iPhone and notes in Mail. I assume all of these should combine. Someone please help.
Nomad

I was a little confused after updating to 3.0. I kept looking in my email accounts and found nothing, it was only after clicking the mail icon in the dock did I find it in the reminders in the left hand column.

New iPod will not sync song ratings with iTunes

A few months ago I bought an iPhone (my first Apple MP3 player) and loaded it up with some music and everything worked fine between it and iTunes. I would rate some songs on the iPhone and synced it up with iTunes and it transferred those song ratings over with no problems.
I later got rid of the iPhone and bought an iPod 4GB Nano and loaded it up with music but when I rated some songs and synced it up with iTunes it would not transfer the ratings over. It would transfer over the ratings fine from iTunes to the iPod but not the other way around. I removed and reinstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes folder within the My Music folder on my computer and reloaded iTunes and imported all my music again. Restored and reset my iPod and tried again, it still will not transfer over the song ratings from iPod to iTunes.
So I figured I got a screwed up iPod (it was a refurb) and decided to go ahead and upgrade. Bought a brand new iPod 8GB Nano and the same thing is happening again. Although it's not absolutely critical to be able to rate songs it helps in getting my music library sorted in deciding what to keep or not.
Any idea what to do short of reinstalling Vista or moving my music library over to another computer to sync with?

Hi, I just sorted out this problem for my ipod touch. Jose9550 and Chris in CA did not explain very well how it is to be sorted - their posts helped me but iI sort of discovered it by accident. My main problem was that the ipod did not update itunes with my track ratings made direct with the touch screen whilst listening to tracks.
Here is how I found out how to sort it:
Step 1: Click on the option in the summary screen to manually manage the music on you Ipod. Back up any tracks/playlists that you don't want to lose.
Step 2: Create a few playlists with music that you want on Ipod
Step 3: Click on your Ipod name in Itunes side bar and then select the Music tab on the main panel on the right. Now click on the check box "Sync Music". This will bring up a prompt that all your music /playlists currently on the Ipod may be erased. Accept this message and then click on check box "Selected playlists". Now pick the playlists/playfolders you want synced. Click apply.
Step 4: Go into the menu bar in itunes and select Edit>Preferences>Devices> and uncheck box beside "Disable Automatic syncing for IPhones and IPods"
Now any changes made to the playlists/tracks etc on the desktop or IPod will be transferred in both directions.

My 4s will not sync by usb with iTunes

After updating my 4s phone and windows 8 iTunes on 3-14-2014 I could no longer play my podcasts that were from an outside websight. They never showed up on the new podcast app they were under audio books when apple added the app and removed the podcast feture from the music app. but now my podcasts are showing up only in the new podcast app but will only play by streaming from the web sight. Even after calling in for help,the associate from apple is still investigating the issue. Well I discovered that my iTunes had another update between 3-14-14 and now so I updated it and then attempted to change the podcasts that I loaded on the phone. It let me "apply" the change but the sync was hazy and not responsive and didn't sync. I tried changing books and audio books on iTunes whit the same result. "Apply" works but not "sync" Now I am not new to iTunes, though the updates often cause me to need to call in to get help doing something that previously I had done hundreds of times. I know how to sync my phone with the USB cable. I have moved added and deleted items from my phone using iTunes for years now. I started with a 2nd generation iTouch, so I know when the program has changed and when to say HELP. I am doing that now.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

IPhone will not sync at all with computer

Been able to use this computer forever with every generation of iPhone and iPod I've had (which isn't much, but I know it works). Anyways, ever since the IOS 7 update I have had a ton of trouble getting new music and new playlists onto the phone. It is starting to get ridiculous.
My iPhone 5 is version 7.0.4
iTunes is version 11.1.3
(both are the current versions)
I am not able to sync new music onto the phone, whether it's bought or ripped from a CD. I cannot even delete music from the phone, so I can't unsync then sync again. It's literally like my phone is locked and I can't do anything to it right now for the past 2 or 3 weeks.
I've tried a lot of things and looked up how to fix it here, but nothing has worked so far. I guess if you have any suggestions please let me know. Not sure why, when so many people buy these overpriced items, these things seem to always have problems with basic functions.

EDIT:
I just bought another song to test it again and it seemed to sync.... but I get most of my music from CD rips. What could be causing them to not sync?? Sorry for the change in subject.

IPod Touch will not Sync or restore with iTunes.

I got an iPod Touch 64G on 31/12/09. Since then I've had a very difficult time syncing the iPod with iTunes. I installed iTunes on a Dell Studio 1557 i7 720, 1.60Ghz, 4G DDR3 1067 RAM, 500G HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I try to sync the ipod it gives me 3 errors The iPod "Tom's iPod Touch" cannot be synced.(X3) The required file cannot be found, An unkown error occurred (-48), and An unknown error occurred (-6999). I have made sure all my drivers on the computer are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've tired restarting the ipod. I've fully restored my ipod touch. None of these have fixed the issue. I get the same errors. Since I've had the ipod I've only been able to sync it 3 times, and the sync just started working by trying different things, like disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod, or switching to one of the other usb ports, but these little tricks only worked once. At this point the last failed sync has caused my ipod to only play one song and then stop playing, and many of the apps just crash. Syncing the ipod fixed this problem the one time it happend before, and it was very difficult to get it to sync also. Now it wont sync and I've tried reinstalling itunes agian which didn't help. So I'm looking for some help.

Okay ... there have been problems reported with that particular combination of the P55/PM55 chipsets, Windows 7 and syncing.
If your chipset drivers and BIOS are both up to date and you're still getting this, you might have some success using the workaround from the following post. (Unfortunately, not all BIOSes are configurable in this way.)

Address Book Server will not sync all fields with iOS client

Hello,
I am getting really frustrated with my Mac Mini Server.
Apparently, the Address Book Server DOES NOT sync all fields.
Only standard vCard-fields seem to synced.
I have not successfully synced user-defined fields, such as an additional date.
Any ideas / infos on how to achieve this if this possible at all?
Thanks for the input,
Erasmus
One thing: I posted the same question in the "Lion" (non-server) discussion - sorry for any confusion.
One thing I noticed:
All changes made on the server in the OS X Address Book are distributed to two iOS clients (iPod 4th Gen iOS4 iPhone 3GS iOS 4).
Any help is appreciated.

Sorry for answering myself...
I just found out that after editing the newly distributed entry on an iOS4-Client, some fields on the server are deleted!
