iPhone won't sync with iTunes after iOS 10 update - September 2016

Same issue here! The sync stops on track 1 of however many. I'm in the middle of a restore and hoping that works. Strangely my iPad syncs music and the same music files fine. I think it's something to do with the new way ios10 handles cloud and downloaded music

I also have this problem, I did what you said but still have this problem??? Anything else work??? I have the latest version of Itunes also.

My husband tried his phone (still on IOS9) and it recognises his phone so it seems to me the problem is with IOS10 will this be fixed anytime soon I wonder???

I have this problem too, with my iPhone 5. I will downgrade my iPhone to iOS 9.3.5 to be safe (syncing with iTunes).

this solves it all

best of luck

No, a (self-promoted) video from 2014 doesn't really address an error tied to legacy OSX not supporting itunes 12.5 and IOS 10.

Posting this from 2014 isnt really helping anybody. If you cant help....then dont write anything. This is just dumb!

onstar20, same issue, reset my iphone and resynced my music back and it seemed to work for a week, but now it's just got stuck on track 1 again. Had to remove all my music again and then reysnc it all back, which is a pain when you are syncing 100Gb of music.

Is yours still behaving?

Reset didn't work for me. My set up: iPhone 6S, ios 10.0.2, iMac OS X version 10.6.8, iTunes 11.4. I'm now in complete limbo. The iMac won't recognize the reset iPhone 6S (I don't use iCloud to sync the iPhone 6S). I can do a restore via iCloud but since I have multiple iPhones, my only choice is my child's iPhone 4S.

Uber ******.

@#$%@#$%@$%@$%@#%

Many hours later on the day I discovered my iPhone 6 would not sync with either iTunes OR iPhotos here is the resolution: older iMacs and Macbook Pros need to update from OS X version 10.6.8 (or whichever version you have) to El Capitan. Once you do this, newer versions of iTunes, iMovie, Photos (which replaces iPhoto) and all other apps are then automatically updated. In my case, since I had 'reset' my iPhone this caused me an additional step of having to restore from my last backup; thankfully, that was only 10 days ago. So I only lost 10 days worth of photos and videos. IF I hadn't reset my phone, I don't think I would have lost those 10 days worth of photos.

All of the above was verified after spending 30 minutes on the phone with Apple's Support phone line. The migration of my photos from iPhoto to Photos is still going on and I'm guessing it'll take 1-2 hours.

I'm now able to sync my iPhone 6 with my iMac running El Capitan. There was no cost to upgrade in my case the Mac's iOS and no cost for Apple Support. I had to be given a special code to find El Capitan in the App Store since you can't just search for and find it.

Having this EXACT same issue.

Ever since updating for ios 10. my iphone 6s can't sync with iTunes and iPhoto.

My device has a padlock icon beside it in Devices (iTunes Preference) I've disabled the passcode function on my phone and it still is *locked*!!

I am getting VERY frustrated as I need to sync my pictures already!!

Argh.....

Macbook is on os 10.7.5

iTunes is on 12.2.2

iPhone 6s is on ios 10.0.2

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! I NEED TO SYNC THEM ALREADY!!!!!

I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. I was able to get my music to sync by turning on "Sync with this iPhone over wifi".

This worked for me. Easy and effective! (I just wish the video wouldn't move so quickly on the text)

Hi,

I was having the same issue on my devices updated to iOS 10. iOS 10 works best with the latest iTunes sofware 12.5.1, Windows 7 or higher and Mac El Capitan or higher. Once I updated all my software and iTunes, issue was resolved.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Looks like your Software 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.2.2 is not compatible with iOS 10. You would need Mac 10.11 (El Capitan or higher) and iTunes best on 12.5.1. As of today, El Capitan may not be available on your Mac, but may be available for macOS Sierra, which will be great!
