Storage Breakdown On iTunes and iPhone Do Not Match Up

I will preface this question by providing the following information:
Computer Information
Model: MacBook Pro, mid 2009, 15 inch
Capacity: 1 TB
OS: Yosemite (10.10.1)
iTunes Version: 12.0.1.26
iPhone Information
Model: iPhone 6 Plus, purchased early 1/2015
Capacity: 128 GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
Okay here's the problem. I was attempting to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with my iTunes library. I have about 50 GB of music which I normally carry around on my iPhone, which amounts to about half of my total storage. On my latest sync, I was told in iTunes that I do not have enough space to complete the sync. Here's what the display looked like:
As you can see:
> The total capacity for audio is displayed as being 49.67 GB (aprox. 6889 songs).
> The total capacity for photos is displayed as being 6.89 GB (aprox. 10,647 photos).
> The total capacity for apps is displayed as being 5.04 GB (aprox. 110 apps).
> The total capacity for other is displayed as being a whopping 45.08 GB.
Upon seeing this, I'm shocked that the other category is taking up so much space. I immediately go to my iPhone to begin trying to eliminate things that could possibly be taking up all this space. When I take a look at my iPhone usage, I see this:
As you can see, the photos and apps are approximately correct, but the songs are way off. In addition, the free space I have on my iPhone according to iTunes is 6.12 GB. According to my iPhone though, I have 47.1 GB (see the screenshot of my iPhone above).
Essentially the storage breakdown on my iPhone and iTunes does not match up. I'm not sure how to fix this problem without restoring the phone, which I want to avoid doing if I don't have to.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is anyone aware of a possible solution?
Thanks.

If it was an iOS bug I would expect to see it on the 3 devices I have upgraded to iOS 8. I don't see it on any. I would also expect there to be thousands of posts and views about it, as somewhere over 100 million users have updated. This is the only thread I have seen, and you are the only one posting about it.
Go to Settings/iCloud. Turn off Find my iPhone. Then go to Settings/general/reset - Erase all content and settings. Check your "Other". I would expect it to be minimal.

Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works. I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated.
I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer. It worked a couple of weeks ago. Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8 and iOS 7.0.4. I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off.
I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again. Any suggestions?

So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
Regards.

Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Thanks!!

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Help - lost ability to drag and drop music between itunes and iphone

I used to be able to manage my iphone 3GS music library through itunes on my MacBook pro - I could delete songs, drag/drop from my macbook library to the iphone, etc. However, just tried now and can't do that anymore! All the songs in the music library are greyed out, I can't drag and drop, I could only "sync" to add music.
I recently got a new iphone (warranty replacement) and also just uploaded a bunch of updates to software, so I don't know what caused this problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

What he said.
However, consider a different way of managing music on the iPhone that I find much easier. Create a Playlist (or lists)in iTunes, then drag all of the music you want on the phone to this list. Then, in the Music tab, check to sync only that playlist. It's much easier to add and remove music from a playlist than it is directly to the phone.

Matching, syncing between iTunes and iPhone

I am "lucky" to be one of the new iPhone 5 owners, after switching back from two years with android. Part of the reason for my switch was iTunes Match, which has been a constant confusing dissappintment.
After several iPhone restores, lengthy phone calls to Apple support (who had no idea what to do), I am still stuck as to what is going wrong with my iPhone and its syncing between itunes match and my local (mac) itunes.
Essentially, I understood (both from reading online and apple support) that I could turn match OFF on my iphone, and then sync playlists accross from my Mac. Then, I could turn my iPhone's Match ON, and it would warn me about replacing the library, but it would allow me to play my synced playlists offline, and stream the rest of my cloud music. I was somehow using this method for a few days, before today's sync changed things again. (I didnt change settings)
At this current stage, itunes match is enabled, and my computer has just finished syncing with my iphone. My iphone says it has no locally stored songs, the computer says my iphone has 19 locally stored songs (with match enabled.) I have tried various ways of syncing, enabling and disabling match on my iphone, and no combination i have tried has successfully synced my data accurately.
Side note: Apple also didnt know why after the second sync between my iphone and mac the mac song playcounts changed dramatically. (ie: from 120 plays per song to 700+ plays - And i hadnt played them obviously).
Note: All software is up to date. Screenshot here http://cl.ly/image/0y162Q2C1c2w shows status after fresh wifi-sync. (incorrect values for free space etc)
tl;dr
I am trying to sync playlists from my mac to my iPhone 5, and then have my iphone stream/(download) the rest of the music I dont sync across through iTunes Match.
It seems there are some bugs in iTunes/iOS 6 to do with syncing. iTunes displays different information about my iPhone, to what is in the iPhone's settings menu. EG: Itunes says there are 19 songs on my iphone, my iphone says there are no songs on it.
This sounds like a bit of a ramble, but its one of the more important issues/problems i am having with the new iPhone. Hope someone can help, or has advice!

What you are trying to do is clear but iTunes Match / IOS 6 does not work that way.
You can sync playlists from computer to iDevice using the options under the music tab for your iDevice on the computer. This will provide a local copy on the iDevice of each Song included in each Playlist selected for sync.
With iTunes Match / IOS 6, as Songs are played from the iCloud (ie not those already downloaded in playlists) IOS 6 does in fact 'download' the Song to a local cache. In theory this cache should be managed by IOS 6 such that it does not overload your iDevice memory - Apple have not chosen to share exactly how this operates.
Given your notes above would suggest starting from a refresh restore on the iPhone 5 with all synchronisation performed afresh and iTunes Match switched on.

Album art not matching correctly between iTunes and iPhone.

So as much as this might not seem as an issue for some, I notice that my album artwork in iTunes does not always match up with the album art on my phone. If I think that some artwork for a song or album is unappealing or not matching, I will change it to my own artwork. Normally, this has never been an issue for me until recently. What happens is I do the normal album art changing procedure (go to get info, add/delete album art) and it works fine. The odd thing is that when I go to select an album on my phone, the album art is the same as what it was in the iTunes Store and not what I added, but the individual songs have the album art that I added myself.
I've managed to fix this issue on some albums by converting them mp3 format, but that only works for some and I don't know why. I would prefer the song art and album art be the same, just because I'm really nitpicky about things matching. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? Does anyone else happen to have this issue, or any clue what the problem might be? Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Missing music after updating iTunes and iPhone os

After updating to the latest iTunes, I have lost huge amounts of music, and I can't find them on my computer at all. We wanted to install the latest OS on our phones, and to do so, you need the latest itunes version. After intalling the latest itunes, and subsequently the latest software for the iphones, a large amount of the music has disappeared. It has all come off of the iMac (which holds our entire library) and includes a mixture of purchased from two different accounts and songs from CDs that have been imported.
I have tried searching for the files on my computer and they cannot be located. Stranger still, I have Apple's Time Machine and have looked back to before the update, and they aren't there either, which is completely bazaar as they are in the itunes library and we used to listen to them on this computer? Is it possible that the files names have become corrupt and the tracks are there but don't associate with the names?
Please can anyone help?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Hey there,
I can't get some of my puchased music to my iphone 4, call me for support.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

I sync my iphone music to my itunes and it did not download

Hello... I sync my purchased music that I bought in itunes on my iphone, then i plug it into my mac and after a few minutes its said sync complete , a few days later Im trying to find the songs that i bought and sync, and they are nowhere to be found what can I do?

one way to ensure purchases made on iPhone are transferred to iTunes on your Mac is to connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
also, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
(alas, the music feature currently works in the US only)

Impossible email synchronization between itunes and iPhone

Hi,
I made a reinstall on my macbook pro turning on OS X lion, and then after making all the updates, itunes does not show emails accounts in the "info" tab...
Impossible to check "synchronize emails"... Any idea?

jfromtoulon wrote:
I've created my accounts... icloud, gmail... everything is running correctly on my iphone and on "mail"
Then there is no need to "Sync Accounts". This is done one time to get the accounts on your phone, nothing more. Since you're syncing over the air with iCloud, this is most likely why there is nothing to check.

Since installing iCloud I am in able to sync my iTunes library to my iPhone 4, songs are missing the playlist are incorrect and when I try and play music the cover are and songs do not match. HELP anyone one else have this problem?

Do I need to go to the Apple store to fix this?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.
