  • Got a new laptop with Windows 7 and installed Sync, logged in, but it won't sync.

    Had this working on 3 different laptops. One was XP. and two Vista. Just replaced the XP machine with a new windows 7 and loaded up Sync. It allows me to log on and everything, but does not work.

    Did you try a double-click? How about from the start menu? A Reboot?

  • Windows 7 and iTouch sync issues

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit.  I installed iTunes 64-bit as well.  Yesterday when I tried to sync for the first time it too me reconnecting and or restarting my iTouch 2 or 3 times before iTunes would recognize it.  My CPU recognized it right away.
    Today, while trying to sync it, it is not recognizing it at all.  Also, when I load iTunes, it is taking forever to load and usually goes non-responsive for about a minute before it fully loads.  When I connect my iTouch, iTunes goes unresponsive again for about a minute but the iTouch never pops up under the "devices" tab.
    Any and all advice would be very much appreciated.

    back up all the files on your iTunes first. I'v experienced problems with installing and using iTunes on Windows 7 to the point were I am going to switch to mac. But thats ireavent. It took me 4+ times of downloading, deleteing, and redownloading iTunes before I was able to acually use iTunes. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in Windows 7 and not iTunes because I haven't had a single problem with Vista and iTunes. If its just slow try rebooting your system, I know I sound like an IT guy, but try it first to see what happens. Hope this helps.

  • Why am I having trouble keeping my itunes and ATV synced?

    After syncing my Itunes with Apple TV, everything, movies, music, photos, etc. shows up on my apple tv under My Movies, etc. First question is, Are my movies, etc, now on the hard drive of the apple TV? Next question, With the material on the hard drive of the ATV, do I need to have my MacBook open for syncing. What is happening is after I sync, and close my MacBook, when I go to my movies, ATV tell me I have no movies. Once I open the MacBook and go to Itunes, it syncs up again and my movies are there. Am I wrong in thinking once I have synced and the movies, music, photos should be ready to pull without my MacBook on or open.
    If I take my MacBook to work, and my wife wants to watch something, how do I keep everything loaded on the ATV hard drive.
    Any help is appricated, Thanks

    It sounds like you have your ATV set to "stream" from you Macbook instead of sync. Check the settings (On the ATV) and make sure (If the Macbook is synced, it will show a chainlink icon.).
    Once you have the ATV synced, your music, movies etc. are saved on its harddrive. Thereafter, the Macbook only needs to be on when you want to add new material.

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

  • ATV and ITunes Sync issues - Windows Vista

    Greetings everyone,
    For the last 4 or 5 weeks I have had the issue of ITunes and the ATV not syncing unless I reboot the ATV. I am running Vista 32 bit with no firewall on the machine (the router handles it) and Avast Anti Virus. The ATV is "wired" in to the network and has access to the Internet even during the issue of not syncing to ITunes.
    Scenario: I download new content in to ITunes and hit Sync (not the content just the library so I can see it to stream) under my ATV. I receive an error " ATV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689". Ok no firewall is present to block the port and it works and syncs fine if I reboot the ATV for ONE session. If I download more content it is another reboot of the ATV to sync.
    Any insight would be helpful!

    did you ever get a response or figure out how to set your ATV up? I've got the same problem. Turned off my anti virus and my firewall and I think i've opened the port correctly on my router, but still get the error.

  • Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

    Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, alternatively, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only one calendar to sync?

    If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows.  That will get back your music.  I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

    I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally.  I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

    Firstly...  a little Clarity...
    Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. ..   Not Computers.
    Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
    If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

  • I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook.

    I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook. When I attempt to sync in itunes I get a popup message asking if I want to delete, Merge or cancel. Not wanting to delete of cancel the only option left is Merge.
                When selecting Merge all of the entries in outlook are added to the idevice. The next time I merge all of the same entries plus any new ones are added, resulting in older entries being repeated i.e an entry like “John’s Birthday” will appear 5 or 6 times on the same date.
                How do I resolve this issue? How do I get the the sync process to add only new entries?

    This is a great question. First, facetime will not work because it has to establish a Call connection first. iMessage should work, but how to get it going I am not sure. Two great Apps to try are, Viber and Skype. Viber is excellent, it works over WiFi, you can make free calls and free text messages all over the world with other users who have Viber installed. It does not even have to be open on screen to work. Viber does have to recieve one text message with activation code, to activate it, this will be your only hurdle, but maybe Verizon can help you get that one text message. Skype does have to be open on screen however, but this can function like Facetime with WiFi connection. Definitely get Viber free in App Store, and put it on all your iDevices so the old Verizon iPhone can function as a telephone when on WiFi.

  • IPhone and Windows 7 64 Bit - syncing issues

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone is able to help. I have updated to Windows 7 and am having problems syning my iPhone. It comes up with a multitude of errors but the most common is:
    'The iPhone "Michael's iPhone" can not be syned. The required file can not be found.
    I have restored the iPhone and after it resets, it sits at the Setup Window in iTunes for ages, then clicks over, starts syncing (it is doind that now) but also displays the error. Will be interesting to see if it actually finishes the sync and to see if the apps work on the phone.
    I have also removed iTunes, Quicktime, Mobile App Supprt, Apple Software Updater, Bonjour and reinstalled and still the sync issues coninue. I also ran the diagnostic tool in iTunes on syncing and detecting the iPhone and it reports everything is ok.

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....
