IPhone4 Music Sync - Shows Wrong Capacity?

I'm using iTunes 10.00.1 on Windows Vista 64 and trying to sync music on my iPhone 4 32GB with iOS4 installed. When I first sunc, the capacity usage on the bottom of the iTunes windows shows I have 1.1 GB free on the device, which exactly equals what the device shows. However, if I add a single song (less than 20MB), iTunes tells me that I do not have enough capacity to transfer it, and afterwards the capacity indicator in iTunes shows that I now have 7.1 GB free! If I unplug and replug the iPhone, the capacity meter again shows I have 1.1 GB free, but if I try to resync the same thing happens.
What's going on here? This seems to only happen when I approach close to 1 GB free and has only happened since I installed iOS4. Does iOS4 now require 1 GB to be free on the phone?
One further note is that I'm using the 128 on-the-fly conversion rate option (checkbox) when transferring songs to the Phone.

This worked fine until earlier this year after an iTunes upgrade. Now it says its syncronized but isn't, and the Capacity shows as 38.28GB in iTunes.
with those symptoms, we had better check on the possibility from the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Music playlist shows wrong cover and too many songs

On my iPhone 4s, I just did the upgrade to iOS 7 (I did a fresh install to be sure) and I am using iTunes 11.1
So now my playlist in the Music app is messed up.
In iTunes, I have both: just normal playlists and playlist-folders (which themselves have playlists)
e.g. A Folder is called "The Alan Parsons Project" and underneath there are the playlists ("I Robot", "On Air", ...)
The problem is with this playlist folders:
On the iPhone, the Music app shows me the right folder name, but it shows me a wrong cover. The same wrong cover for each playlist-folder!
The playlists themselves appear with the right cover
Any other music app (Track 8, CarTunes), that ist able to show the number of songs, shows me the folder names, each containing all my songs!
Normal playlists are shown correctly.
Any suggestions?

Thank you! This was driving me crazy. I had this issue when I initially installed iOS 7. At that time I removed all my music and resynced, and then the correct art displayed. I recently had to restore my iPhone and resync, and the bug of wrong art for playlist folders came back. (Strangely, it consistently displayed the same wrong art and displayed the same wrong art as when it happened before.) I kept removing and resyncing my playlists and deleting the iTunes album art cache to no avail. The fix of renaming the folders worked!

W8 RSAT Server Manager showing wrong capacity!?

Hello!
I connect from my W8 workstation to Hyper-V Server 2012 remotely and apparently Server Manager shows the wrong capacity in Gibibyte (by factor 10), but the right one in Byte!?
Is this a bug? Any suggestions?

Using Windows 8.1 to connect to a Windows 2012 R2 server, this issue doesn't appear anymore!
I should close this thread as "answered", but since there has never been any answer, e. g. by those who fixed this bug, I leave it open, hoping that anybody responsible reads it and in future we'll get proper answers! Like this hypothetical answer:
"Hi! We checked the source code and indeed there was a bug. It will be addressed by one of the next Windows Updates."
I think this hypothetical answer, including checking the source, would have cost a quarter developer-hour the maximum!

On my iphone4s, music control do not show up on the screen and the screen cannot be rotated.

On my iphone4s, music control do not show up on the music screen and the screen cannot be rotated.

Couple of clarifications, the rotation lock is not set. The controls are visible for video and other apps. Only the music screen does not rotate or show the controls.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

I'm sure I'm being a bit dense here but I cannot seem to transfer music of shows I have downloaded onto my iPad with my library.......it syncs app but nothing else! Help please?

Thanks for this. I also found out that all I needed to do was right click on the device and select download purchases! I new I was being dense......thanks again.

Music sync but doesn't show up

Tonight I went to add about 130 songs to the ones already on my iPhone. There was about 834MB left before the sync, after the sync, 200MB. After the sync, the music no longer shows up on the phone and of course it won't play. The memory is used but in the about screen it shows 0 songs 0 videos. I remove the songs using iTunes and the space all shows as free. I add one song only and it shows no songs on the iPhone again. This is on a MBP with Tiger and 1.1.2 on the iPhone.
I went and synced on my XP laptop, I restored and then synced, all music shows up and plays perfectly now that I have lost all my settings on my MBP iPhone backup.
How can I get my music to show up on my iPhone that I sync on my Mac?

I'm not sure I understand what you say when you say you don't want to make a new library but fix the old one -- fixing the old one basically is making a new one.
I'd do this -- select all the songs in your library and press delete. Answer "no" to removing them from your hard drive. Then just drag and drop your songs into that library and all will be well.

When syncing, shows capacity of 29.04GB on 32GB model??

I just synced my new ipad and on the bottom of the screen on itunes it shows a capacity of 29.04GB. This is a 32GB ipad so where is the missing 3GB?

Your iPad is specified in International System of Units (SI), but the way your iPad calculates its available space for data uses International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) units of measure, which takes into account that a kilobyte is actually 1024 bytes. That said, when comparing manufacturers capacity listing to real world application, you should assume approx 7-10% difference in the numbers (downward).
For example, my 64 GB iPad actually has a capacity in real world application of 59.2 GB. This equates to 7.5% less than the SI rating of the device.
You can check your own capacity data by going to Settings>general>About. Your capacity will be listed in the middle of that page. Your iPad is just fine, and reporting as expected. I remember a rash of postings when peole found their 32 GB iPhones had 29.33 GB of capacity.

Hello rhys139,
It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. I found an article with information on transferring media from your iPod to your computer:

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Iphone 5s music sync issues

Guys and girls.
I have got my 5s and have manage to get round to adding my music from my old phone (android) into Itunes music all plays fine but will not sync to my phone.
I go about the sync the normal way, it does start to work but gets to the 'checking for downloads' bit in the blue bar at the top and the whole of Itunes stops responding at all. I use the latest update on itunes and the latest software update on my phone which is now updating to 7.1 as we speak. Still no joy with the music sync. I have tried a few things i have seen on other threds i.e. reset phone using hold lock and home button together, un syncing and re syncing, unticking and reticking boxes and i am slowly going mad!haha. Can anyone offer a solution???
Thanks in advance
Dan

Similar issue Andrew. After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling" songs that are no longer in my Music Library. Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone. I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone. When I synched however, I was back to square one. I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone . We also downloaded IOS 8.02. They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it. Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone. After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space. (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
When I got home from the Apple store I spent after hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes. I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched. Didn't work. Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work. Bottom line, I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song ! I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
Furthermore, it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system in my car. However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone. If you ( or anyone else ) finds something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks, Lorenzo

I do I make purchased music not show up on my iPhone?

I have purchased music through iTunes on my iPhone. On the computer I convert the MP4 of the purchased music into MP3 and put it in my own created music folders and put back on the phone in my playlists. The only thing is is that the music now shows up as the MP3 I made it into and still as how it appeared when I purchased it, so it's on my phone twice. I can't figure out how to remove the purchased song off of my phone. The purchased MP4 isn't in any playlist so I can't just unsync the playlist to make it go away. Nothing I know to do makes it go away.
Photo 1 shows The Cadillac Black (now The Cadillac Three) album that I purchased through iTunes on my phone AFTER I have converted the files to MP3 and placed them with the rest of my previously had music before my iPhone. Photo 2 shows how the purchased music still shows up on my phone. You see that Days of Gold by The Cadillac Black is on my phone twice, and the same goes with the Zac Brown Band album I have purchased also, which all of those songs are on my phone twice.

Is the "Purchased" playlist selected to sync to your phone under the Music tab in iTunes?
