Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad, in conjunction with software products, are considered one of the most reliable. Nevertheless, they are not immune from the appearance of errors. In particular, sometimes music from iTunes on iPhone is not synchronized. There can be many reasons for this. This is especially noticeable when the Apple device is connected to a computer or laptop with Windows on board. But you can fix the problem. The following are the simplest methods to help solve errors of this kind.
iPhone does not sync with iTunes: why?
The very first problem that lies in wait for any owner of the Apple device is that Windows does not have or the correct device driver is installed. It is not a matter of initializing the same iPhone as a USB device in the sense of recognizing information on an internal storage device.
The problem consists mainly in the fact that the iTunes control program was unable to connect to the iPhone at the time of trying to establish a communication session. And this may be due to the fact that the program itself is “buggy”. The easiest way out is to reinstall iTunes using the official installer for Windows, downloaded from the developer's site or from the AppStore.
Music does not sync from iTunes to iPhone: what to do first?
But these are only computer programs. But it also happens that the iPhone does not sync with iTunes (error 54) directly on the mobile gadget.
The manufacturer himself recommends reloading the device, combining the files in the library (and in small parts), deleting the content and downloading it again, excluding PDF files from it. Perhaps the problem that the iPhone is not syncing with iTunes will be resolved. However, it is worth considering some other points.
Reauthorization
In some cases, an authorization error may occur . The device seems to establish a connection, but in fact this does not happen. To fix just such failures, you just need to log out of your account, and then re-enter.
In the most extreme case, the "account" should be deleted, and when the device is rebooted, specify it again. Sometimes it helps.
Solving Wireless Issues
Worse when the iPhone does not sync with iTunes over WiFi. Here you will have to check the network settings directly in the Windows system with the correct settings for the TCP / IP protocol of the fourth version (v4), which is currently used most actively (the IPv6 version has not yet reached us).
In the simplest case, you should set the receipt of addresses to the machine, but sometimes you can use Google services, the addresses of which consist of four eights or two eights and two fours, to set DNS parameters.
Reset and reinstall the operating system
Finally, if after that an error is issued indicating that iTunes could not connect to the iPhone, you can try to make a general reset. To do this, use the menu to delete personal data and parameters from the main section.
If, after this, there is a situation where the iPhone does not synchronize with iTunes, more stringent methods will have to be applied.
In this case, you need to close all programs and on the Apple or PC computer, call the Finder application, and then hold down the keyboard option Ctrl + Cmd + G for Apple (this does not work for Windows), where you need to register / var / db / lockdown (unlocking will take place) . In Windows, you can still try to go into the AppData directory, which is hidden, and delete the Apple directory from there, but it seems that this is not the best option.
Conclusion
As can be seen from all the above material, the question of why the iPhone does not sync with iTunes can be considered exhausted. In fact, in most cases, you do not need to completely reinstall the system or download a new firmware. The methods described above will suffice. You never know, maybe a regular reboot of the device will help. Yes, and reinstalling the software in the form of an applet on your phone and Windows computer will also work.
On the other hand, if all of the above methods do not help and music from iTunes on iPhone is not synchronized, you should not be content with what is, either. At the very least, the easiest solution is to remove iTunes from your Windows computer on board (and it doesn’t matter which version) and reinstall it and then log into your account using your existing AppleID.
But if we talk specifically about Windows, in some cases it may be necessary to remove updates that cause errors of this kind. This can be done through the corresponding menu of the “Control Panel” using the uninstall function of the latest settings. But on the iPhone itself, you will have to reboot (this is at least).
The rest, I think, no special problems are expected. The situation is such that either the problem device itself can be rebooted, or the application will be re-installed on both the smartphone and the computer. Otherwise, as is already clear, there are no problems. Download the latest version of iOS is not worth it, especially since the same fourth version of the iPhone update does not support. Do you need it? So, to put it mildly, a smartphone can also be “ditched."
But fundamentally, the system can be repaired, and very simple. To do this, simply follow the recommendations outlined above. And the problem itself, how to make the connection between the mobile device and the computer, remains with the user. In any case, the option of action can be found. But it is a reboot that will be required initially. The emphasis is on this. In addition, reinstalling the program itself or its updates can solve some problems associated with the lack of synchronization.
