What to do if you have problems syncing with iTunes

This function is necessary in order to update music and videos on the iPhone, as well as applications stored on the phone, obtain various information, create backup copies with which you can quickly recover, and much more. As you can see, this is an extremely important function, without which it will be very inconvenient. If your iPhone does not sync, then do not worry, now we will tell you how to solve this problem.

Software verification

The first step is to update iTunes to the most current version, maybe that’s why it doesn’t sync

This is the most likely problem where syncing may not occur, so you should try this method first.

To update the program, use the following instructions:

  1. Close Repaunch iTunes, after which you need to synchronize manually. To do this, you will need to exit iTunes, then re-enable the program and only now try synchronization. It happens that this is what corrects the problem.
  2. Synchronization with iPhone is already working, but still no music, programs, etc.?

To resolve the issue you will need to check the following:

  1. Go to the “General Information” tab, and there find “Manage music and videos manually.” See if it is enabled, you should also try restarting it. Immediately after this, you can first transfer the information to the Iphone or Ipad;
  2. Go to “Music” and “Programs”, check if synchronization is enabled there, maybe that’s the problem.

We recommend performing synchronization manually, this allows you to save traffic, which is consumed during an update. In manual mode, you will be able to synchronize your iPhone using Wi-Fi, thus saving the cost of replenishing your card.

It's worth trying to log in to iTunes again.

It happens that the iPad cannot be synchronized due to the fact that you are simply not authorized in iTunes. This is quite easy to check; the synchronization icon will be grayed out or not available at all. To authorize you will need to perform the following manipulations:

  1. Log into iTunes with your iPad connected to your computer using a USB cable;
  2. Pull “Store” down, after which you need to select “Reauthorize this computer”;
  3. We go into the store again and begin the authorization procedure. To do this, you need to enter your password, as well as your Apple ID, and then click “Authorize.”

This is a fairly common problem that occurs on the iPad. There are several ways to solve this, they are very simple and effective.

Reboot

If you are concerned about why it doesn’t sync with iTunes, then restart the device. This is very simple to do, you will need to simultaneously press and hold the power and home keys, after which a reboot will occur. After startup, try to check if the device syncs with iTunes.

Restart PC

Many people don't like to restart their computer, but this could be a simple solution to the problem. This will be very effective since the problem may be related to the iTuneshelper program.

Try syncing using a USB cable

In most cases, synchronization is performed over a Wi-Fi network, but it is worth trying to do it using a USB cable, which usually comes with the device. If you have always used a cable to synchronize, then try connecting via Wi-Fi the other way around. If the problem is solved, then use the successful method.

You can try restoring the device to factory settings

This almost always helps to fix problems with the device, although all data stored on it may be lost. In order to avoid this, regularly save backup copies of your data and the system itself; you will definitely need them in the future.

The procedure will take place in three stages:


You can create a backup via iTunes. After the copying is completed, you need to go to the device settings, and there select “Basic”, then click on “Erase all data, as well as settings.”

After this, the iPhone will return to factory settings. Now you can turn on the device and check the synchronization; in most cases, after such manipulations everything works fine. All you have to do is restore your lost data using the backup you created earlier.

This is perhaps the easiest way to troubleshoot various problems that may occur in the operation of Apple equipment. Anyone can perform a reset, it’s quite easy, the main thing is not to forget to have a backup copy of all data so as not to lose it.
