Available space estimates different between iPhone and iTunes

Hi,
I've just noticed that looking at my iPhone is settings it says I have 708 MB available while in iTunes it says I have 1.66 GB available. They agree in the used amount. I've just synced it to see if that resolved it but it did not. Any ideas?

I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

Playlist order different between iPhone and iTunes

I updated to 3.1 and iTunes 9. In iTunes lets say i have 5 songs in a playlist. Lets say I Will Not Bow, Let The Beat Build, So Sharp, Good Time, and Fall. But on my iPhone in the same playlist they are ordered Let The Beat Build, Good Time, I Will Not Bow, So Sharp, then Fall. Why would they be ordered differently between the two? Anyone else having this problem?

There is a solution for this problem. Right click your smartlist; select edit smartlist; UNCHECK "live updating"; Then sync your files. This will adjust your device (iPod, iPhone) list to the way it is in your iTunes list.
It does mess up adding new songs to your smartlist if you use a specific method of list names which adds a song automatically. If this is the case, check "live updating" using the method above, add your song, then uncheck it again to keep the order as it is in iTunes.
Hope this helps. It works for me everytime a list messes up. I read about this fix somewhere in these forums, tried it and it works like a charm!!

Volume Different Between iPhone and iTunes

So I record my own music (using an MBox) and import it into iTunes. Then I select my song that I recorded and "Convert Selection to ACC" (so my song won't be 50 MB).
Now this is confusing to me because when I put the song on to my iPhone the volume is the same as the other songs (including songs that I have purchased)...which is what I want. But when I listen to it on my computer through iTunes it is half the volume (or DB) than my purchased music. Sound Check and Sound Enhancer are not in enabled. Don't know why the volume would be different between my iPhone and computer.
If I crank up the "Volume Adjustment" to counter it, it make my iPhone volume way too loud! What's up? Is the iPhone software doing something to it?

Ahh my iPhone had Sound Check on for some reason...I guess it is default to that?

Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
Which particular issue are you referring to?
Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

Pics flow between iPhone and itunes

How to do it?

Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone 5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
What can I do?
thanks
Bye
Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
Cosa posso fare?
grazie
ciao

How to synchronise the play status of podcasts between iphone and itunes?

Hi there, thank you for reading,
I am annoyed now for a few months about the disfunctional synchronizing between my iphone and itunes when it's about the play status of podcasts.
I get new podcasts in every new day and i play many, so it's essential to see immediately which are new and which i have listened to or have half-listened.
This functionality was there when podcasts were still played in the Music app on the iphone, but now it's moved to a podcast app, it doesn't. Weird.
I run the most recent software and the hardware is fine. If you have any to get around the daily manual synchronisation, please let me know.

Hi Jim - thanks so much for your detailed & helpful reply. I actually do already have those columns shown in my playlist views - my problem is that I don't believe what they are showing!
For instance, out of my c.13k tracks, my smart playlists count:
Matched - 42
Ineligable - 46
Purchased - 15
Not Matched - 121
Uploaded - 27
Error - 13,060
When I first started using Match it spent several days uploading tracks, and now is having another incremental go, and showing 325 of 1464 Uploaded.
Ah - that's interesting - I just looked at my 'iCloud Matched' playlist on my iPhone, and it says there are 11,876 tracks in it, even though iTuns on my MacBookpro shows 42! But then my iPhone also shows 11,876 in the 'iCloud Error' list. And in my 'Ineligble' list. And my 'Purchased' list...so who knows! Which was the thinking behind my original query.
But I do appreciate your reply Jim, which has been helpful even with the above situation.
Cheers,
Mark

Files between iPhone and iTunes not syncronized

I synchronised my iPhone and iTunes. The iPhone give me this info after the synchronisation :
"2 elements were not synchronized. Consult iTunes to know more."
Wher i go in iTunes to know more.
Thank you !
MC

Hello, ckuan!
That's what I usually do: I connect my iPhone to my Mac and I sync it.
However, the "11 elements were not synchronized..." only appears on my iPhone. It tells me to look for more information on iTunes, but that's exactly the point: nothing shows on iTunes.

Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone

I purchase an album on my iPhone. The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist. I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer. I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone. And here's the rub:
From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes. You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist. But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone. Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes. So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone. Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the iPhone.
There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist. This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs. A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone. But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist. If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it. Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later. Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone. I've done that so many times and it does not work. I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs. I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading. Nothing works. The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available). With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist. The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased. That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.

I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/

Has anyone experienced memory discrepancies between iPhone and iTunes?

Hello,
After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to 5.1, the iTunes sync program was reporting memory shortage of 456MB and would not sync. The iPhone itself reports 5.1 gig available, but the iTune software is reporting short 456MB of memory to be able to sync...what would be the fix for this condition?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Scrolling direction is different between iPhone and Trackpad.

Can i change the scrolling direction on the TrackPad? It is different between mobile device like iPhone and Trackpad.
TrackPad:
To scroll down i have to move my fingers from top to bottom.
on iPhone or iPad:
To scroll down i have to move my finger from bottom to top.
I want to use it in the same way, because it is confusing.
Greeting Koe

You will be able to when you upgrade to Lion. The gestures are as you describe.

Sync between iphone and itunes hangs

lately when i sync my iphone with itunes - itunes will hang
it will show sync in progress on the phone and the progress bar at the top of itunes will stop about 3/4's of the way thru
any ideas on what may be the cause or how to fix?

Hi folks,
I work at ESPN and just wanted to chime in. We noticed this bug and have already submitted a fix to Apple. We're working with them to get it out asap.
The way scorecenter works has triggered a bug in iTunes itself that Apple is working on separately. Our workaround fix should be available in a few days, tops.
Sorry about the trouble.
Sujal
PS. You can follow @scorecenter on Twitter, and the iTunes App Store page for ScoreCenter has contact information for our support staff and customer care. Definitely ping one of those if you have any other trouble with ScoreCenter or any other ESPN app.

Sync Apps between iPhone and ITunes before install of IOS6?

I use an IPhone 4. I always purchase my apps directly from the IPhone, and never from my computer.
The consequence is that there is no sync whatsoever between the actual screens/folders/apps on the IPhone and what is displayed on ITunes, in the TAB "apps".
Last year, when I installed IOS 5, I killed all my apps on the IPhone, and it took weeks to re-install my apps and the folders.
I am not prepared to suffer this exercise again, and I am even considering to skip the install of IOS 6 to avoid this pain.
How can I mirror the content of my IPhone such that the apps and the folders content/position actually present in the phone are memorized in Itunes?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Patrick

I figured out to click on the "transfer purchases" to get my apps synced.
Now I have a new question. How do I delete apps from the list that I do NOT want to install?
Thanks.

HT1414 updating app between iphone and itunes

I have an app on my iphone and it says to update using itunes, I updated on itunes and its not updated on my iphone. how can I update my app on my phone?

You didn't mentioned that you synced your phone with iTunes, just that you "updated on iTunes" (which I took to mean that you had updated the app in iTunes, not that you had synced your phone). At any rate, verify that you have checked that app in question as well as checking "Sync Apps" on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings, then sync your phone. If it still doesn't transfer, try unchecking that app followed by syncing (which should delete the app from your phone), then check the app again and sync again (which should transfer the updated app back to your phone).

Strange chain reaction between iPhone and iTunes

I am using iPhone 3G now.
Once I want to sync ringtone into my phone.
I can't drag the file into the category "ringtone" below "iPhone".
because all the files will become identical!
(in iTunes, once you connect the iphone and there will be the connected object on the left hand side , that's what i'm saying.)
Apart from this problem, i try to Sync the ringtone through the ringtone page of the iphone.
every time it requires me to check the box "sync ringtone", i check it, i press "apply".
It said all the music video will be deleted.
What is that mean?
Why i cant particularly sync my ringtone and every time it deletes all my files away?!
I am so fed up with syncing 5xx songs into the phone all the time!

Sounds like you have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
If so and you are unable to manually transfer a ringtone to your iPhone - if this requires syncing with iTunes instead, then you must sync all your iTunes content.
You can't manually manage music and videos and sync. it is one or the other, not both.
