IPhone 4S syncing problems in iTunes?

Went to plug my iPhone into iTunes today & when I click on 'on this iPhone', it shows no music or videos being on my phone (even though there's).

This also doesn't allow me to sync anything onto the iPhone at all!

At the bottom where it normally says ' music - 2gb, videos - 1gb' excetra. It only states 'other'.

How can I fix this problem? Preferably without restoring the phone fully, as ok don't want to lose my notes, contacts, apps

Looking forward to the answers.

Here's what you can do.

Go into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now.

Factory restore your iPhone by putting it into Recovery Mode.

Turn your device off. Hold down the Home button as you plug it into your computer. When you see the connect to iTunes screen, just restore it then apply the backup when it is finished.

Guest SAID he/she did not want to factory restore the phone!

  • Syncing iPhone songs onto iTunes? Okay so what I want to do is make ringtones on my iPhone 4s. But in order to do that I have to sync my iPhone to iTunes. Which I haven't done yet with my phone. I have 60 songs that i bought on itunes store on my phone but I don't want to lose them. And i heard if I sync my phone to the computer that it will wipe everything out of it?

  • Problems with syncing specific albums to my iPhone 4S? I bought an album off of iTunes, and along with several other albums I downloaded through torrentz, I tired to sync them to my iPhone and these specific albums, totaling 4, will not sync. I have restarted my laptop and iPhone. I have restored my iPhone. Every other album in my endless collection will sync except these 4. Quite annoying. Anyone have an ideas?
