30 GB becomes 1,008 GB and doesn't sync

I can't sync my iPod with my iTunes. My son synced my iPod with his iTunes, erasing my music. When I went to sync it to my iTunes, I was told that my iPod was corrupted. I've done all the usual stuff - reset, restore, reboot - and now iTunes says I have 1,008.72 GB capacity. The bar at the bottom says I have 111.63 GB of free space. It says it's syncing, but when I eject my iPod, there's nothing on it. HELP. I've leaving town and need something to dull the mind while flying for 8 hours!!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

Audio is shorter and doesn't sync

I have a video, and when I import it in Premiere (or After Effects), the audio is shorter than video, and therefore of course out of sync.
When I play it on VLC, it is correct, everything syncs. I had tried to re-encode it, but nothing has changed. (Also tried the VideoReDo program - as mentioned on another forum - to fix this, but there is the same result.)
Btw, I don't have to make a timeline, it's enough if I just double-click on the clip (in Premiere) and play it. The audio doesn't sync.

When syncing my iphone using USB it lingers on "step 5: Waiting for changes to be applied" and then stops and doesn't sync my music

When I try to sync my phone with the iTunes as I have in the past, the "sync animation" happens on my iPhone but it doesn't sync the music that I've manually added and deleted. I've used the same setup in the past so I'm not sure what is going on. Also, it takes quite a while for the sync sequence to run -- it lingers on step 5

I had this problem - was driving me crazy. I tried many things including restores etc. The following solved it:
Go into iTunes
Open up your new iPhone on the tab in the top right corner
In the Summary box - simply unclick "Sync only checked songs and videos"
Click apply
Then I was fixed!
Good luck

Ipod Mini starts to sync then stops after a few songs and doesn't sync

It has been about a year since I synced my iPod mini (Generation One) with my G3 PowerBook Pismo. I have been using it with no problems but I wanted to ad new songs. I went to sync it and it wanted to update. I am on the latest iTunes. After the iPod updated it would start to sync get to song 7 and just stop syncing. I have to pull the iPod off and there is nothing on it. I have restored the iPod Mini several time. I even tried going back to the orginal disk. Nothing helps. I tried to repair disk permissions in Disk Utilities and that gets about half way through then has an error. I have to quit this operation and can't repair the permissions. Could these be related. I am not a mac doof but I feel like one.
Thanks for any help!!!

Try taking it into an Apple store, it sounds like a HD problem, or something. If you've tried to restore it, and that hasn't worked, taking it in is probably your best bet.

Once my ipod is connected, it disconnects and doesn't sync anything

I have an 80GB classic ipod; one of the older generations, not sure of the exact one. When I connect to my iTunes, it makes the connecting noise, but immediately says on the ipod I may eject it and does not sync anything. In the past, I have tried mutiple times and then randomly it will work once, but do I have to do that again for it to sync music or is it tiem for a new ipod? Anyone else have this issue? Thank you

Mail.app got stuck and doesn't sync anymore

Ok, I'll leave all my comments and the frustration out of this post. As many of other people around I can't get Mail.app sync anymore with GMail server.
Unsucessfully I tried to remove and create the account, including deleting the account.plist file in the folder (just in case).
Looking into the console file, I spot this message, that doesn't offer any clue onf what's wrong.
Mail[7196]: *** -[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]
or
Mail[7196]: An exception occurred during invocation of -[IMAPMailboxSyncEngine _goWithMessagesIfNeeded:]
Anybody knows what they are? Any idea how to get this fixed?

IPhone 4 isn't recognized as my device and doesn't sync to itunes after a failed software update using itunes

The title says it all, but today I had the option to update my IPhone 4 through itunes and so I did. After a few minutes as the process was in effect an error popped up and said the update had failed.
Currently my phone is plugged into the USB port and is showing me a charger pointing to itunes; the complication is that my IPhone is no longer registered in my name and it also isn't sync'ing or being recognized through my itunes.
I've looked through the support pages and have done as many things as I can find which included:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
I ran the diagnostics and went to this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
None of these actions gave me the answer I needed.
I've also taken my phone to the nearest AT&T provider and they weren't completely sure what's going on.
I did realize that I tried to update my IPhone when the itunes wasn't at it's most updated platform.
Any help would be much appreciated! I'm all out of ideas.

Hy there,
First you have to try connecting your device to the computer an then reinstall the drivers by following these steps:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes must detect your device in DFU mode an you will have to push the restore button and it has to restore.
Good luck,
Andrei

ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

Ugh. Here I go again.
I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates.
My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
(1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch. I managed to get that fixed.
(2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined." A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
(3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch. I have 600-800 albums. All of the artwork is correct on iTunes. About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch. (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
Does anyone have a more direct solution? Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs? (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
Any ideas? All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere. It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400. Weird.

My play count is not recorded and doesn't sync with my last.fm account

is anyone else having this problem? it's been going on since about january...
i don't sync my music, i manually drag and drop songs to add them and then simply delete them when i don't want them on my phone anymore.
my play count is not showing up at all when i check it on my itunes, and there is no last played data either...

Hello james,
It sounds like you are reaching the limit of authorized computers you can have with your Apple ID. The most you can have is 5 computers authorized, so try authorizing your computer to play your purchases on this computer.
To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
Open iTunes
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
If needed, you may also deauthorize all the computers that have been authorized with your Apple ID if you need to.
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

Calendar, Contacts and everything PIM freezes and doesn't sync

Keeps spinning and never syncs anything. Also can not access accounts in settings. That also freezes

Ok, after many resets and going straight to the accounts tab to try and delete accounts, it finally let me delete facebook. It was facebook that was locking up and now everything is back to working. I re added facebook just a moment ago and so far still working with no problems. Facebook was definitely the problem for me.

Icloud and outlook 2010 sync

Hey there,
at the office we use outlook 2010 and icloud control panel to sync between our calendars and our iphones to work together. the problem is when we sync outlook calendars with icloud it creates another calendar in outlook (besides the local one).
so when we get an invitaion through email our local calendar gets it (and doesn't sync with icloud and the iphone)
and when i add another meeting on my iphone it goes to my icloud calendar in outlook and not to the local one.
any way to make the local calendar on outlook to be the icloud one? or any way to merge and sync them both?
anyone?

iCloud is a seperate account (in Outlook) and it will not be the default account so invitations etc will not go to it.
The workaround is (a) dump iCloud and use Exchange or (b) dump Outlook.

When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...
Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
No change.
I dee nothing but a blank page,
Any help would be appreciated.
Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
Any advice is appreciated.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ITunes freezes and doesn't recognise iPhone

Hi, I've got an issue with my iPhone 3G running on iOS 4.0.1. Everytime I connect it to my PC (running on Windows 7 32-bit), iTunes freezes for a few minutes and doesn't recognise the device. I've been searching for the solution for a couple of days now and have found the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&start=75&tstart=0
Fix provided by BeeBopp work for me but only until I reboot my PC. Then I have the same situation - having iPhone connected to PC, iTunes freezes and doesn't recognise the device - so I need to go to Device Manager and update the drivers manually even though they seem to have been installed correctly (I have Apple Mobile Device on my list before I update the drivers), but I need to point Windows to use the drivers from
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl.inf
I have already tried:
-completely removing iTunes and its configuration files
-reinstalling iTunes (the newest available version)
-removing iPhone from the devices list and reinstalling Apple drivers
Nothing works - everytime I reboot PC, I need to update drivers manually.
Do you have any idea what's causing that? Thanks

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....
