Hey, aliraza6156.

I see that iTunes on your Windows PC isn't syncing automatically with your iPhone 6 any longer. I see that you had to reinstall Window and iTunes but something isn't working correctly. I'm happy to help.

Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later -- Remove iTunes following the steps provided paying close attention to these steps:

Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel

Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

  1. iTunes
  2. Apple Software Update
  3. Apple Mobile Device Support
  4. Bonjour
  5. Apple Application Support 32-bit
  6. Apple Application Support 64-bit

On some systems, iTunes might install two versions of Apple Application Support. This is expected. If both are present, be sure to uninstall both versions.

Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended effects. After you uninstall a component, you might be prompted to restart your computer. Wait to restart your computer until you're finished removing all of the components.

And:

Reinstall iTunes and related components

  1. After you make sure that iTunes is completely uninstalled, restart your computer (if you haven't already).
  2. Then download and install the latest version of iTunes for your PC.
  3. If the issue persists, look for more information on the iTunes Support page, including help with specific messages.


Once you've successfully reinstalled iTunes, try automatically syncing your iPhone 6 again.


Let me know how that goes.

Take care!

Thank you for trying those steps, aliraza6156. We'd like for you to check a setting in iTunes then.

iTunes for Windows: Devices preferences in iTunes -- Make sure that "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is unchecked.

View and delete device backups, choose syncing options, and more. To set these options, open iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences, then click Devices.


If you're still having problems syncing your iPhone automatically, please answer the questions below:

  1. Which version of Windows is installed on your PC?
  2. Do you see your purchases in iTunes with or without your iPhone connected?
  3. Do the songs in your iTunes Library play when you select them?


Let us know when you can.


Have a good day!
