Having problems syncing iTunes from mac to iPhone. Help?

Trying to a sync an itunes genius playlist from mac to iphone. Message appears on iphone that says"88 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more info." Any advice?
There were 95 songs in playlist, some did transfer while others didn't. Not sure where to look at "itunes for more info".

Are you syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with MM on your iPhone?
If you are doing the former, this has nothing to do with a problem with your MM online address book.
If you are doing the former, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes and launch iSync.
At iSync preferences, select reset sync history.
Restart your Mac and try syncing with iTunes again.

  • Problems syncing Contacts from Mac to iphone - popup says script error MM

    Hi, when I did my initial sync from my MBP to the iphone all worked great. But when I made some changes to my Address Book on the MBP yesterday and did a manual sync, those changes were not picked up by the iphone - I tried several times So I logged onto MM to check, clicked on the Contacts icon and got a busy symbol. The folder headings of my address book appeared then I had a popup appear to say that a script was having a problem on the page and I could continue or stop it. I tried continue a few times and eventually had to stop it, the busy symbol just continued. My contacts were never displayed. I tried it this morning and it is the same, is this the cause of my syncing probs and if so how do I fix it.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi.
    First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
    My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
    I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
    All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
    BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
    HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
    I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
    If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
    C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.

    These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.

  • How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

    Hi,
    Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
    I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
    Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
    Let me know if you have a solution for this!
    Tim

    As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
    For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

  • Problem syncing app from computer to iphone & ipad

    I downloaded an app (Red Laser- barcode scanner) on my windows computer. I want to use it on my iphone and ipad but can not sync it. 

    This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
    As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
    There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
    I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

  • Can't sync Contacts from Mac to iPhone

    Hi
    I have prb with the MobileMe syncing since I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. I can add a new contact to my iPhone, and see it appearing in my Mac, but if I add a contact in my Mac Contact application, it just doesn't sync to my iPhone. Actually, it doesn't even appear on the MobileMe web page.
    It was working before the update to 2.0.2. Weird...
    Any idea/help ?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    found this solution on this forum...maybe it will help.
    01.) Plug iPhone into computer
    02.) Sync the phone in order to back up your latest info.
    03.) Restore iPhone in iTunes
    04.) When restore completes, ignore the "set up as new phone" or "restore from backup" screen and just unplug the phone from the computer.
    05.) Once unplugged, slide to unlock and tap on the email icon.
    06.) Tap on your email type to setup (for me it was gmail)
    07.) Enter your email information.
    08.) Load your email and let it download a bunch of emails.
    09.) Plug phone back into computer. The "set up as new phone" and "restore from backup" screen will pop up again.
    10.) Choose "restore from backup" and select your last backup.
    11.) Wait until complete.

  • Help, I am having problems syncing songs from itunes to my ipod.

    I am having great difficulty in trying to sync purchased songs from itunes music store to my ipod.
    I have just registered my ipod to my home computer after having it originally registered on a friends computer. Now on my own computer I have purchased 14 songs and have tried to sync them onto my ipod. However it keeps coming up with a message that my computer is not authorized to play them. Therefore its not copying onto my ipod.
    Any solutions/help would be greatly recieved, thanks.

    I'll wager that you have a second account that you forgot about. Fire up iTunes but do not log on to your account. Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window will appear asking you to authorize your computer for that account.

  • Problem syncing music from laptop to iphone

    hello,
    So I've had my laptop and my phone for a while, never had any problem with syncing my phone, until now.
    I have installed OS X Yosemite around the same period when I got this problem, maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know.
    Anyways, so when i try to sync the music tomy phone, i get a window that says: 'the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchases items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose store > authorize this computer'
    So I did that, then i get a window saying: 'This computer is already authorised. Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.'
    I've tried deauthorizing and authorizing it again, login out and in again, didn't work.
    So i'm asking you, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out, I miss listening to my music with my phone.
    thank you,
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah, 
    It sounds like iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer for iTunes purchases, even though it's already authorized. I would miss listening to music on my iPhone in this case, as well. 
    Logging out/in and deauthorizing/authorizing were good steps, and next I'd recommend the steps mentioned in this troubleshooting article:

    All the best,

  • Syncing imessages from mac to iphone

    I recently downloaded the OS X Yosemite for mac, this seemed to work fine until now. Usually any message I'd receive on mac would also be received on my iPhone 5S, today however I got an iMessage on my mac yet not on my phone. I've looked at which number or email address messages are sent to and both my number and apple ID are selected, yet I'm not getting the iMessage's on my phone whether I'm on wifi or 3G, or if I've synced my phone, or if I restart my phone.

    Open iTunes, connect your iPhone. In iTunes, open your iPhone and on the "Settings" page there's a section for Back-ups. In that pane, there's a section of when the last back up was performed. One for iCloud and another for "This Computer". Both will have a date of when it was last done. Since I back my iPhone up via iCloud, the last back up was earlier today. However, when I last backed up to my computer was way back in March.
    The problem with this backing up system, is that it only back ups to ONE of them. So whenever the last time that you backed up to your computer, if ever, the question will it be worth the money for that app that you speak of? Besides, you could always restore your iPhone to that back up that you have on your computer, for free.

    Hope someone can help!

  • Syncing contacts from Mac to iPhone via iCloud

    Ok, second time to type this up, as the program cannot remember what I typed (I changed my devices).
    My wife and I shared our mobile me account on our MacBook pro.  She logged in with her account, and I had mine.  I updated to lion.  No problem very smooth.  Then I set up my wife with her own iCloud account and purged her account and her iPhone 3GS of the mobile me account.  Still, everything worked out great.  My wifethen notified me that she has no contacts which messes up a lot of stuff.  No problem.  I transferred the address book data to her part of the computer.  Not an easy task considering that it was 31mb and I no longer had the ability to drop it into iDisk. 
    Ifigured that iCloud or a simple sync would put all the contacts back on.  No joy.  A sync would not restore the contact database.  It says that iCloud is syncing it.  how long does it take?  And why can I not simply syn it through iTunes?  But iTunes gave me an error and would not sync it.  So, what am I doing wrong?  Her address book has all her contacts, and so did data is there.

    Why won't iCloud recognize my contacts?  That is the question I intended to ask. I checked iCloud.com, and it does not show any of the contacts in the address book that are in the address book.  Did the usual check and turned on everything in Preferences that I know of.  Still, it won't see it.  Trying to go through iTunes.  Maybe I missed something there.
