iPhone cannot be synced

I recently upgraded to MacOS 10.11.2 and iPhone iOS 9.2 and synchronized.  Seems to work, but a new contact in the Contacts of my MacPro was not on my iPhone.  Someone suggested to restart the iPhone and try again.  I did, but iTunes put to the top of the alert:

The iPhone "IPhone of Gil" cannot be synchronized.  A stranger

error (-50).

Now what?

-Gil

OK, I fixed it.  Disconnected the iPhone, turning the iPhone off, restarted the computer, restarted the iPhone, reconnected the iPhone, launched iTunes won't sync - no problem.

  • 6 IPhone will not sync with my ITunes MacBook

    My IPhone 6 does not sync with my Macbook. When I plug it into the laptop, he said: "the iPhone"iPhone"cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. "

    I already downloaded the latest version to my laptop. Any suggestions?

    The problem is that the version of your OS X may be too old to support the latest version of iTunes.

    Currently the latest version of iTunes is 12.3.3.  iTunes 12.3.X is necessary for the iOS interface 9.  But iTunes 12.3.X requires OS X 10.8.5 or later version.

I have all the songs from the old computer and their transfer to the new computer, but I get the error message "Ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the itunes library (like 55.88 GB required).

I have not added a lot more music. Please explain and help me understand what I need to do to get my ipod to sync.

    I have a brand new iPhone (IOS 9.3.2). 5SE  When I try to connect to iTunes I get the message ".. .iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version (12.1.3.6).  How can I fix?

    This is not the latest version of iTunes. The latest version is 12.4.1. What version of Windows are you using? If you use anything in Windows 7, it does not support the latest version of iTunes and the iPhone OS. You will need to update your computer.

  • cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in iTunes (required additional 194.8 MB) library.

    It is not supposed to because I have enough memory on my iPad.

    Help, please

    Not based on what? You have not provided any information as to the amount of space you have left and what is the total capacity of your iPad. He must leave a certain percentage of the free capacity at all times, so if you have a 32GB device and you are up to 2 GB of free storage, which could in fact be severed close... If it says you need to 194.8 MG of free space that would be in addition to the amount that you see as free space.

    It also depends on what you're trying to sync on iTunes as well. What content, apps, songs, etc.

    So... can provide you more details?

    Hello dinukago,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Since your post I understand that you get an error that your computer is not authorized for items purchased on your iPhone.  As you tried to allow already and know that your computer is allowed, then it seems that you have the content of another Apple ID on your iPhone.  If you have any other Apple ID then please allow your computer so that it be synchronized.

    Allow your computer in iTunes

    Take care.

  • "iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes" even though I have the latest version of iTunes?

    Yesterday, I bought an iPhone 6s and decided to restore it via iTunes. This then is the message "iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes" came. So I installed the latest version, but the message still came, even if I had the latest version. What should I do?

    What operating system you are using on this computer?  If he is old enough like Windows XP or Vista, it is unable to get the latest versions of iTunes that are needed to work with the latest iPhone software.

  • Playlist published on iPhone cannot sync with iTunes?

    Is it possible to have your reading list itunes 'sync 'd' to align with an editing tool you did directly on your iPhone or your device? for example, I have a reading list put in place and when you listen to it if a song comes on I don't like or is not suitable for this playlist I remove it or delete it. Problem is if I now synchronize my phone with itunes that did not have these deleted songs it will just add. It is my understanding that if "pay you" for music, Apple, that all changes are sync'd across the cloud either way so in this case the next time I open my itunes it looks... "" blah blah playlist has changed you want to apply these changes to your itunes or go back. " Seems the perfect answer except for the fact that if you don't pay for & don't want to pay for the music of Apple there is no option for this. If this is possible on the cloud, why is it not possible on my local wi - fi that is configured to synchronize my phone, so every time that I go home, it gives the same message & I can update my version of the same way itunes playlist. The only solution Apple offered is simply to delete the playlist from iTunes, tick to manually manage your music which means that you can no longer synchronize the playlist & just add any new music to her dropping them overall. I'm not interested in workaround solutions that constitute a huge compromise on the function of the phone has been designed (or in this case... not designed). I forgot a simple solution here or is this a case of big brother apple order once more to limit my access to a simple solution until I have pay for a service I don't want? Thank you.

    The only solution I can offer is a gross workaround.  After you make your changes, create a new playlist on your iPhone and select the one that you have edited to add songs to the new.  You can also create new reading list (empty) first and then change this one rather than the original.  Now when Sync you with iTunes, the original playlist is overwritten, but your new copy won't - he should get copied into your iTunes library, where you can delete the original and rename the new copy changed to match the name of the original playlist.  Is not ideal, I know, but the only way I know to do this only if you sign up for iCloud music library.

  • How to stop applications to sync on my iPhone when I sync my music from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone?

    How can I stop all applications that are in my iTunes to sync on my iPhone while I'm syncing my music from my iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone? He doesn't have a checkbox in the Apps section for not having ALL these apps to go back on my iPhone. Help! Now should I remove each app individually out of my iPhone?

    Hi there deg20,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! Looks like all the applications listed in iTunes to sync your iPhone while you move your music. I can understand wanting to be able to customize the content that is on your device. I'll be more than happy to help!

    From what you describe, appears it option "automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" to be enabled. To activate which turns off, select the Summary tab and uncheck the box next to this feature. Once you have done this, you should be able to navigate between sections of content / media specific to choose what you want to synchronize with your device. After you apply these changes, it should appear on your iPhone. See the following article for advice on the content of sync on your iPhone:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    You should also ensure that you have enabled the option to manually manage content, as described in this article:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    If you don't manually add or remove content from your device

    Check the option "Manually manage music and videos" is turned on:

    1. Connect your device to your computer.
    2. Open iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version.
    3. Locate and click on your device.
    4. In the left sidebar, click summary.
    5. Scroll down to the Options section.
    6. Check the "Manually manage music and videos."
    7. Click on apply.

    You might see a message that your device is synchronized with another library. This means that you used another computer to sync your device in the past, and iTunes cannot sync without erasing first and replace everything iTunes on your device.

    Relax your day fantastic!
