After years still "no syncing" problems iphone itunes

Ituens can't copie to the disk Macintosh HD, no permissions.
Itunes can't tell what apps are installed on the iPhone
This is driving me crazy. and disk utility does not help.
Nor does it help to go to the Itunes folder and give permissions (including al nested folders)
Why doesn't Apple help the many users with this problem.
I'm on Maveriks now and it problem still exists.
This is a really bad experiance.
Help me please, and I have seen all posts, and many different solutions. They are to dificult or don't help.
thanks
Reinold

I have 3 iPhone 4's and I'm having this problem on all 3 of them. We upgraded to iTunes 11.4.0.18 and we have Outlook 2010 and it just gets stuck on (Step 3 of 7) Syncing Contacts. We left it running overnight and it was still stuck. When this happens the progress bar keeps moving making you think it is working, but it is stuck.
I wish someone from Apple would help. We just ordered iPhone 6 phones and we need to backup so we can restore our old info.

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
doug

I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.

ITunes asks me to authorize my computer but after I do, when syncing my iPhone, it wants me to authorize the computer

I want to sync my stuff on iTunes from my iPhone 4S, (iOS version 7.0.4) but it wants me to authorize my computer. I did that and it said this computer is already authorized. When I try to sync the iPhone again, it said the computer is no longer authorized for purchaced items that are in this iPhone. It proceeds to intruct me on how to authorize the computer. I authorized the computer 7 times and the error shows up all the time. I even restarted iTunes (losing what I edited) and it still did not work. Why?

Syncing Problem in iTunes with iPhone 5

I successfully synced my iPhone 5 this morning in iTunes for the first time but now I wish to update and sync again, it won't let me!!! What has changed?

You're running on WIN? Make sure you are having the latest iTunes ver installed. If that doesn't work for you, try using another notebook/pc fresh install iTunes and plug in your iPhone and authorized it. Then start your backup/restore if needed. Fresh restore iPhone may fix your problem on sync-ing on your original notebook/pc

IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

Hi there,
I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
Thank you for your time in replying!
Marmotte

There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly. I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here. Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
You could also have a look at this article: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Music Store
If you continue to have problems you can email Customer Services from this page, they may be able to help: iTunes Music Store - Authorization FAQ

Sync problem "Iphone synced with other Itunes library"

Hi folks, I’m new to the forum and would appreciate some help.
I recently re-formatted my hard drive on my PC and re-installed Itunes. I have only ever used my iphone on this PC and this Itunes account. Now when I connect my Iphone 4 to my PC it can be seen in the devices section at the left hand side and there I can view all its contents as normal. However if I try to change the settings in the summary section to “manually manage music and videos” and press APPLY it come up saying “the iphone is synced with another itunes library” and says if I continue then my iphone content will be erased. I can’t even drop and drag music into my device as I used to do before formatting.
I really don’t want to delete my phones content as I’ve got it just the way I like it and would be a real hassle to do this. I don’t understand why itunes is saying that my phone is synced with another itunes library.
I also have the most recent update on my phone and was wondering if there's any way to sort this out?
Thanks in advance
Craig.

All iTunes content presently on your phone will be erased. If you have the same content in your iTunes library, just sync it back. If you have app data you want to preserve, backup your phone first, then restore from that backup, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. You can manually create a current backup by right-clicking your phone in the left device pane & selecting "Backup". Follow this by right-clicking again & selecting "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. If prompted to create another backup, decline. Disable auto-sync before you do any of the above: iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu if using windows). Make sure you have one contact & one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use on your computer: DO NOT SYNC to empty applications. Doing so will erase data from your phone.

When recently syncing my iphone, itunes asked me something regarding transfering purchased items or something.. I foolishly didn't read it properly and now I can't get purchased songs from iTunes back on to my iPhone... Please help!!

Hi,
When recently syncing my iPhone a message came up regarding transferring purchases or something.. In haste I pressed the wrong reply.. My phone synced, but removed all of the songs I purchased on my iPhone. Although they are still on my iTunes and I can play them.. but they will not sync back to the iPhone what so ever.. I'm stressed out big time and can't believe I was such an idiot lol!! Had a look at a few forums.. But they seem to be about transffering from Iphone to Itunes...
Please Help xxx

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

WiFi Store sync problems iPhone to Mac

Until now I've never had a single problem with iPhone. I've recently upgraded to iTunes 7.5 and iPhone 1.1.2, and haven't had any problems until I tried to use the WiFi Store. I haven't seen any similar discussions on these boards.
I was able to buy an album and a few random songs without a problem, but they won't sync from the iPhone to the Mac. iTunes asks if I want to transfer the purchased items, I say yes, and I get the following errors:
"The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
"The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
"The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The device timed out."
"Attempting to copy to the disk "My Stuff" failed. The device timed out."
"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
Sometimes one or two tracks successfully transfer from iPhone to Mac. Sometimes I get all of the above errors, sometimes only a couple. Different order each time. Every time, I have to unplug and reconnect iPhone. When I get the last error above, I have to shut down iTunes and restart it. I've never had any sync problems before, and currently the contacts and calendars work just fine.
The messages are self-explanatory but what I can't figure out is not what, but WHY. I like how it says my local hard drive timed out but all other apps (including iTunes) can read from and write to it. Nevertheless I ran diagnostics on it without any problems. I'm using the same cable and USB port I've been using for months, and same hard drive, OS and other software setup.
Soooo, after over forty attempts I have most of my music transferred over (again, only about 20 tracks), still trying. If it keeps this up I'll never use the WiFi store. I think a hard reset and/or restore is needed but I don't want to lose the purchased music that hasn't yet synced.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Tim

I had the same problem.
Sync the iPhone with a different PC, and then re sync it on your main machine.
it will say something about erase and re-sync.
that should do it,

Sync problem through iTunes between iOS devices and iCal

This is a mess and has been troubling me for months. Please help!
***Devices:
iPhone 5, iOS current
iPad 1, iOS current
MacBook Pro 10.7.current, iCal (2.8 ghz ICD2)
***Sync setup:
I have and have used a MobileMe account but made sure both iPhone and iPad were set for *no* calendar sync. There's no sync checkbox for Calendar sync with the MobileMe Systems Preferences (there was in earlier versions). For the sake of thoroughness I went into MobileMe via it's web interface and deleted each calendar (creating a "tossme" calendar with no events in it because Mme requires one calendar). I signed out / sign back in periodically because I was getting errors occasionally. The online Mme Calendar is completely empty as far as I can see.
After a sync (for backup) I unchecked the Info > Calendar box and agreed to delete all events on the iPhone and the iPad. That wiped off whatever was on the iPad and the iPhone. Then I re-checked all calendars for both devices, setting them to not sync events over 30 days. The calendars on both the iPhone and the iPad now had events from the iCal calendars on my MBkP. But the iPad and iPhone calendars *also* had a few events not on the MBkP: They had "New Event" from when I created an even not he iCal calendar and then renamed and / or changed the calendar for that even. They *also* had the blank and default New Event.
***Test events
I then went to each device in turn and created an event at 4 PM today in the default calendar called, respectively, from iPad, from iPhone, from MBkP ical. I then synced both the iPad and iPhone through iTunes as usual. What happened is *exactly* what's been happening for about 6 months. Here was what was on each device after a successful sync:
MBkPro: Only the "from MBkP iCal" event and no other of these test events.
iPhone: Four events: New Event, from MBkP iCal, from iPhone, from iPad
iPad: exactly the same events as the iPhone has.
I then deleted *all* of the four events *just* from the iPhone and synced these devices in this specific order: iPhone, iPad.
After the deletion inn the iPhone and the since I end up with this: Just the from MBkP iCal on all three devices.
***Conclusions:
These devices sync but
--the MBkP *only one way*, that is *to* the iPhone and iPad, including (annoyingly) every iteration of an event instead of the final form of an event (hence every "new event"….)
--Both the iPad and iPhone sync all events back and forth amongst themselves and take as separate events every stage of any event *from* the MBkP iCal but nothing *to* the iCal on the MBkP. (This generates lots of other dups, by the way…I'm outlining the simplest case here.)
***Other stuff I've tried
Back when I could get iCal to sync calendars / events with Mme I using that as a conduit for sync between the three (i.e.: telling iTunes to ignore calendar syncing). And a bunch of other stuff. Same result.
I've examined lots of settings repeatedly. No change.
***What I want:
I'd like all three of these devices to
--sync as equals--each of them to sync their calendars / events back and forth (i.e.: the iCal on MBkP taking events from both the iPad and iPhone).
--Each of them to only have the most recently modified version of an event.
--ideally (but not as important) a copy of all these calendars and evens on the web-based MobileMe calendar (although I recall hearing that Apple is phasing out this function).
(Note that I rarely post here, please e-mail me at [email protected] if you comment here. Or does this system notify me automatically of any comments?)

I'm having the same issue.
It started when I updated the iOS 7 on my Iphone 5 and my ipad mini and downloaded de iTunes 11.1.
Now I can't sync my playlists all at once or even in few selections of playlists, because it gets stucked on fourth step "waiting for changes to be applied" and after some minutes the sync simbol disappear on iphone and continues on iTunes, but it does nothing.
I also left an entire night to see if the problem was slowness to sync, but it did nothing, it really gets stucked. I've also tried a few different ways to sync (restart, reset, clean logs), but it doesn't work and it isn't allowing me to sync a couple of playlists in a row. Sometimes even a single playlist is not syncing.
I believe a new iTunes release it will be required

Sync problem with itunes 64 bit

Hi, it's impossible to sync an iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 64 bit (sync in one step and in only few seconds but actually it do nothing) and cannot install iTunes 32 bit on windows 7 64 bit. Never had that problem on 32 bit.
What can I do?

I worked though this issue today on my PC and I have it working.
The piece that worked for me was that you have to uninstall apple components in a specific order. I also rebooted my pc after the uninstalls were complete. I found this on the apple support site (see below).
Uninstall in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
I then reinstalled 64bit Itunes by saving the package, right clicking and run as administrator.
This reinstalled itunes then I recieved another error, iphone could not be synced 13019. I researched this and I found out that the itunes library could not find one or more of my music files in the library these are denoted by an exclamation mark. I either had to delete the files or double click on the files and click locate and then point them to the location of the missing files. After I had found all of the files it was able to sucessfully sync and all is good.
I hope this helps...
