12.5.1 Broke iPhone Sync iTunes

I've updated to iTunes 12.5.1 today and now I can't sync/update one of my iPhone devices (6s / 5 s/5 c).  When I connect my iPhone to my Windows 10 office via a USB cable, iTunes does not even recognize the device is connected even you I can browse my photos and my files via Windows Explorer. I have not updated any of my devices to the iOS 10 version.  Not sure I want to now.

Someone else has problems syncing iPhone after the iTunes upgrade?

Help?

Looks like you are unable to see any iOS device in iTunes 12.5.1 since you updated. I recommend to use the following article to help you out there:

    You should tell us more specifically the version of your Windows operating system, iTunes and iOS software numbers.  Say "up to date" is not informative.  For example, if you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, the version of iTunes "updated" cannot support iOS 9.

  • Sync my iPhone on Itunes with NAS library

    Hello

    I used to sync to my iphone via itunes with iTunes library that I have stored on my NAS.

    I have a new computer and want to do it again.

    I had iTunes able to access my library iTunes stored on the NAS, I can play the music on my computer but when I want to sync my iphone, the obly on which I am authorized to do so by Itunes is the local library, not the one on the NAS.

    How can I make the NAS library one to use for syncing my Iphone?

    The phone searches for the exact same library file used the last time that synchronize you the phone with iTunes.

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes. When you are prompted to select a library to select the file iTunes Library.itl the SIN. If it is not there then you have not kept the entire library on the NAS and the left critical parts of your library back on the old computer.  The only recourse is to get these files to this computer or a backup.  It is usually best to use a portable library but with a SIN, you can run into all kinds of trouble with any iTunes library. In this case, I suspect I know what the problem is, but there are several NAS posts here where we have no idea why a library all of a sudden I have messed up. iTunes and NAS do not play well together.

  • sync iTunes wants to erase my iphone

    I know this is asked very often - but looking at responses I'm not sure of the exact situation that I am.

    The situation:

    A library itune on windows 10, itune version 12.4.1.6 - all iphones are 6 or 6plus on the latest ios created with a camera that was on Apple ID "A".

    1 iPhone (6) with the apple ID has been used to create and synchronize with this itune library. It still works.

    IPhone 2 (a 6 +) started with the apple A ID and I remember well sync was working (but I'm not sure)

    Then 2 Iphone replaced by apple ID B appelid

    There's a family shares Apple ID B ID apple has.

    < some time pass >

    now when you try to sync, itunes considers the iphone 2 was not synchronized to the library on the computer and ask to erase everything. It's my wifes iphone, so I don't want to compromise my weding on itune behavior

    My questions:

    1 / How can I be sure of the origin of "synchronize with the new library" iphone2 plugged. And this might be impossible - but in case an investigation is possible I am ready to dig it.

    2 / then what would be the best approach to get "iphone2/appleid 2" sync with this library providing I lack nothing that could have been purchased on ' iphone 2' or the recovery of as magically the lost link (Finally I can always dream, but who knows before you ask...) "."

    Thank you very much for any pointer - and maybe this is very well known. In this case sorry for pushing an open door.

    Best regards

    Sébastien.

    Try to sync iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my iphone 6.

    Get the message iphone unusable because it requires a newer version of iTunes.

    That's what I've got;

    IPhone IOS9.2.1 version

    ITunes Mac version is 11.4

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements:

    You can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

  • cannot sync IPad and iPhone with iTunes:

    When you try to synchronize the iPad and iPhone with iTunes I get the error message to go to iTunes.com to upgrade the software.  Done so many times:

    iTune 11.4; Mac: OS x 10.6.8; IPhone: iOS 9.2.1; iPad: iOS 9.2.1

    What is the "fix" for the problem?  Thank you

    The question is what iOS 9 requires a newer version of iTunes.  The latest version of iTunes is 12.3.2.  However, iTunes 12.3.X requires at least OS X 10.8.5 to install.  (Current is El Capitan OSX 10.11.3.)

    So, in summary, you will need to upgrade your version of OS X Snow Leopard, which was released more than six years ago.

  • Transfer songs from Apple music from iPhone to iTunes

    Hello world

    Most of my songs is downloaded directly from Apple music on my iPhone. I think that my iPhone and my PC is connected somehow through the same Apple ID

    Whenever I want to sync my songs from iPhone to iTunes on my PC, my PC already knew that I downloaded music and it downloads the music once again in the iTunes - wasting the time and plan internet - to copy music from my iPhone.

    Is it possible to simply transfer the downloaded music from my iPhone directly to my PC / iTunes? Logically speaking music is already there in my phone so the only thing it takes is just to copy it, no need to download it once more.

    Thank you!

    P.S. I'm using iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.2) and 10 Windows with the latest version of iTunes (12.4.1)

    Hi arisastrosubroto,

    Thank you for coming to us in Apple Support communities for support. I know it's important to have access to your music on all of your devices, so I'm happy to help you to provide advice for you to get it working again.

    If the music you want to transfer was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use the information here to transfer these purchases to iTunes:

    Redownload or transfer of your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer

    If this music was not bought on iTunes, but simply added to your Apple's music library, iTunes works as it should and will be instead just download these same elements directly in iTunes.

    I hope this helps clarify things a bit more. See you soon!

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

    iTunes 12.4.1.6

    OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • Apps should now be updated on both iPhone and iTunes

    Before the latest iTunes update, if an application has been updated on the phone or on iTunes, it would update each other through sync.

    Now, an application must be updated in BOTH iPhone and iTunes. I used to always update the app on the iPhone and then sync, cancelling the need to update in iTunes.

    Why do we know must update the application twice instead of once made previously? He could do a little faster sync without having to download on iTunes, but that savings is probably lost when need to also download in iTunes.

    I synchronize at least once a day.

    You see the thinning introduced with iOS App 9. When you download an app from the App Store directly on the device, it downloads a specific application for that device and download only the features that work on this device. This is done to save space on the device. Apps for transfer is no longer the device to iTunes, so they must always be updated in iTunes as well as on the device.

    You can find more about this with your own research, but here are a few articles, you can watch.
