Album Art will not sync onto iphone 3GS

Songs I have downloaded since the 3.0 upgrade will not sync the album art onto my iphone 3GS. The art work is all in itunes, but on my phone it is just a black square. Help!

I have the same problem. Artwork is correct in iTunes, but does not sync with iPhone, even after deletion and re-sync. I have albums that did not originally have artwork that were transferred to the iPhone (3GS) without artwork. I then downloaded the artwork in iTunes, deleted the original files off the iPhone, and re-transferred the files (which now have artwork). The artwork did not transfer over to the iPhone. Basically, I'm stuck with the amount of artwork I had when I synced the iPhone for the very first time.

Album art will not sync to iPod...

Normally my album art works fine. Upload it to my songs from a picture file on my hard drive, works fine. But lately, all of a sudden, any new uploaded album art pictures to songs do not sync to the iPod. None of them. When getting the info for a song on iTunes, the album art shows up fine; but they refuse to sync to the iPod. The song syncs fine; but the album art does not go with it.
The album art pictures I uploaded are all standard .jpg files, they are no larger in resolution, size, or memory than other album arts that I uploaded in the past that work fine. This just started happening all of a sudden, without any preferences being changed or anything. I've tried finding new pictures to use, but that didn't work. I've tried re-installing iTunes, that didn't work. I've tried ejecting and not ejecting my iPod before disconnecting it, neither do anything. I've tried deleting and replacing the entire song on iTunes, did nothing.
Has this happened to anyone else? What could be causing this?

Actually, toggling that option and syncing made it so now no artwork shows up on my iPod at all...
Please say there's another option for syncing artwork. Because that option just made things worse.

Album Dates Will Not Sync to iPhone

I'm a huge Beatles fan (My name probably gives it away) and I want my albums to be in order by the years they were released. Some of the albums were listed as being released in either 2009, 2010, or 2014, which is really annoying having With The Beatles, Revolver and Hard Day's Night above Abbey Road and Let it Be and numerous other albums. I decided to go into my computer, sync my iPhone 5S and change the dates through there using "Edit", "Select All", and "Get Info". The albums are changed on my computer, but when I sync my phone... they are still listed as being released in the 2000's.
The problem albums are With the Beatles, Revolver, and Hard Day's Night. I bought With the Beatles through iTunes and burned Revolver and Hard Day's Night into my iTunes... BUT, prior to me getting the CD's I had already purchased one or two songs from each album via iTunes.
Now here's what annoys me. I had two discs from Let it Be... Naked. One with the songs, and another with a 20 minute session of The Beatles jamming called "Fly on the Wall". Fly on the Wall had an incorrect date and IT FIXED.
Thanks if you can help me!

I have the same problem.
Have a MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard)
Use iPhoto for my photos.
Use iTunes to Sync.
Mosly my iTunes syncs selected albums/events without any problems.
But a few of my albums/events won't sync. Or the albums/events syncs, but only one or two photos.
iTunes simply doesn't see, that there is photos in the selected albums/events.
It sometimes helps to make a new event, and put the photos from old even into new one.
But this time, nothing I do helps.
Really boring.
It's like there is a communication error between iPhoto and iTunes.

iTunes Store account
Internet access

Similar issue:
I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
In case it of any use here are the tracks:
Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

Do they play in iTunes?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled. Then it will not sync my iPhone. Any solution ideas?

When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled. Then it will not sync my iPhone 5. Any solution ideas?

Try unplugging any other USB devices. If you are using a hub, don't, connect the phone directly to a computer USB port.
None of these are necessarily things you should do, but might help. For instance, if you plug the phone to an already busy hub, the phone might be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and lock out the hub.

Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7. The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8). For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work. However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things! Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

Downloaded music will not sync to iphone

I downloaded an album to my itunes library..it shows up on my computer but will not sync to my phone...I've uploaded the newest version of itunes, deleted and re-added the cd to the library...hit sync several times and this particular album will not move over to my phone...

Hey kristruss!
I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to get this album onto your iOS device. First, try to sync the album by manual syncing instead of automatic syncing:

You may also need to troubleshoot your installation of iTunes on your computer by following the suggested steps in this article:

Album Covers will not Sync

I have downloaded album art from albumart.org and now that i am trying to snyc my phone, only half of the art will sync to my phone. How do i fix this problem if there is a solution at all?

Did you select every single song in the album and then pasted the art into the album? And did you make sure the album had the exact same title and artist on it?
Check to see which album art is not appearing and then go into iTunes and very carefully examine each album to make sure you have copied the art correctly (and gotten the tags correct) in each song in that album.

Videos will not sync to iPhone from iTunes

Movies (Videos) will not sync to an iPhone 4S from iTunes Mac. They can be downloaded and played from iCloud. They sync to other iOS devices, just not this one.
Music does sync as do other media. When I try Movies (Video) I spend long minutes watching "Waiting for changes to be applied". I suspect it's timing out.
I don't see anything in Console. It doesn't matter whether Movie is DRMd or home.
I've restared phone and desktop. I wiped the phone and restored from Backup. I suspect if I wiped phone and treated at as NEW phone it would work, but I'd lose game settings, some data, etc. I haven't tried 'manual' management of music and video, I really dislike that. I did try dragging a movie to the iPhone manually, that behaved like sync.
I've used PhoneView, an OS X utility for browing phone to look for stuck or unexpect media. There are no Voice Memos and no Voicemail messages.
In iTunes, if I expand the Devices tree for the phone, and inspect Movies, I see the movies that have downloaded via iCloud. Movies that are supposed to sync from iTunes show with a grayed out font and dotted viewing status circle.
Any ideas? Any references to a technical description of the iTunes sync process?

A colleague on App.net (@gaelicwizard) came up with the fix for being unable to sync video to the iPhone. It suggests the bug is on the iPhone, and since a wipe/restore didn't fix it the bug is transmitted with the backup.
The fix was to setup iTunes on another account on the same machine, then sync the iPhone to THAT account. This wipes out all media and photos. When I did that I could sync a video to the iPhone.
I then synced the iPhone BACK to the original iTunes account -- this wiped all media again. This time though I could sync video from the original iTunes. I restored all of the media and was good to go again.
I still wonder if this bug is related to the fix for the 7.0 CloudAssets bug that was fixed in 7.1. There was also something odd about the movie 'Frozen' where the Cloud version and local iTunes version seemed somehow different...

Calendar will not sync from iphone to ical since 10.5.2 update

My iphone has worked perfectly since I bought it last summer & I have been raving about it!
I updated to 10.5.2 and now I am having a syncing problem.
If I put an appointment in the iphone it will not sync to ical, but it does sync from ical to the iphone.
This is all new since 10.5.2.
Are there some simple steps to follow to resolve this issue?

1. got the back up done. After I answer your couple of quesitons, i will do the reset.
2. I am responding to you using my .mac account, which, as you know, is IMAP.
3. In addition, I do have a POP ( Yahoo) account that I use a great deal. I use the Mac Mail application to grab the Yahoo e mails for me, as I thought that would be the easiest set up. ( Just launch Mail and every e mail is available for viewing). I suspect you are going to advise me to take the steps to turn my POP Yahoo into an IMAP Yahoo???.
4. So I think I may have answered you question about accessing this account with an email client, right? I am using Mail.
5. Thanks for the thought on the incoming e mail server. Good to know.
6. My Mac account settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the email client ( Mail?) are: (1) for the Yahoo - I looked under Accounts/Advanced. And, if that is the right place, hopefully, I have set it to remove copy from server after retrieving a message after 1 month. ( just being careful). (2) I do not see choices for my .mac IMAP account, except under Trash, and for that I have also chosen 1 month before permanently removing.
How'd I do?? I want to answer your questions as specifically and succinctly as possible. Your assistance is much appreciated.
Andy
