Available iPhone storage shown is far lower on itunes (843 mB) than on iphone (5.4 gB)
Hello,
I am using an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 with a Mac Laptop with OS 10.6.8 using iTunes 11.4 (18). I am using iCloud Photo Library for my photos.
I unsuccessfully tried to sync selected songs from my iTunes library (on the Mac) with my iPhone. iTunes (Mac) says there is insufficient space to do so, however the available storage on my iPhone says there is plenty of space (in Settings/General/Usage/Storage).
Specifically, my iTunes (Mac) storage bar of my iPhone says I am using 7.16 gB for 1815 photos, and the available space is 843 mB :
In contrast, my iPhone says I have used only 921 mB for Photos (6.7 gB in total), and 5.4 gB is available:
Is this discrepancy the result of an error in the iPhone software or in iTunes? How much space is actually available on my iPhone?
I would like to be able to free up more space for more of my iTunes library (audio). I was hoping to do this with iCloud photo library, but this appears not to have worked. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, I have a new cell phone, I wanted to give my iphone to my father, instead of deleting the content on the iphone I have deleted the entire iphone. It starts up no more. iTunes will not recognize the iphone. How do I get my old data back onto the phone?
Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

Hi Arjun sache,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an issue with iTunes shutting down unexpectedly when your iPhone is connected to the Mac. Take a look at the article below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that may be able to resolve the issue for you.

How Do I Use iTunes For More Than 1 iPhone?
My wife just upgraded her phone to the iPhone 5 and wanted to download all of her apps to the new phone. I though it would be as simple as logging into her iTunes account through the iTunes software on my PC and then just download them through the program. But of course nothing is simple when dealing with Apple. Instead of simply listing the apps associated with her iTunes account it lists a bunch of random apps from my iPhone. How do I see the iTunes apps associated with her account? Right now it seems like the only option is to go into the iTunes store through her phone and download each app individually.
That doesn't make any sense. She's logged into iTunes, We shouldn't have to create separate accounts on our PC. That should be handled by the iTunes software. If I log into say Netflix from my friends computer it will go to MY Netflix account. I wouldn't need to create an entire profile on his PC just to access my account.

what to do if when trying to sync iphone to computer the message appears "itunes cant read content of iphone. restore to factory condition"?
If you're receiving that message, you data are already gone. If you've been using iCloud and backing up your phone as recommended, you should have no data loss. If you have not, well, hard lesson learned. Good luck.

Iphone 4S won't back up on itunes, but ipad, ipod and iphone 3GS will.
I took delivery of my new iphone 4S on Friday and am running the latest iOS and latest version of itunes and the phone restored from the back up copy of my 3GS with no problems and is working great.
I have just tried to back up the 4S on itunes (as I usually do weekly), its syncs ok but then I get the error message:
"itunes could not backup iphone because an error occurred"
I have tried deleting previous back ups, deleting the lockdown folder, backing up on another PC and pretty much everything suggested here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529 apart from reinstalling itunes but it still won't back up and throws up the error message. If I plug in my ipad, ipod touch or old 3GS they all back up immediately which is leaning towards me thinking there may be a problem with the phone rather than itunes.
I have been able to back up via iCloud so I'm not too worried in the immediate future however I do like to keep an iTunes back up as well (for e.g. creating a .csv file of messges etc
Am a bit stuck now and am not sure which direction to go - do you think a restore would change anything (I assume a restore from iCloud would put the phone back to how it is tonight after the iCloud back up so not sure if this will change anything, (I have always backed up to the PC in the past so have no experience of iCloud back up processes) or should I make an appointment at the genius bar? Googling just seems to come up with what I've already done.
Thanks in advance.Open iTunes and go to Edit>Check for Updates. You'll need to be running at least XP SP2 or later to update to version 10.7.

I've just got an iPhone 5, the problem I've got is I can't transfer my old contacts of my old sim to my iPhone. The old sim is a lot bigger than the new one
The iPhone 5 uses a Nano-Sim, your old phone uses a Micro-Sim. But you already knew that. If you purchased your iPhone 5 from a specific carrier, and the same carrier provided your old device, they may be able to transfer your contacts. Otherwise, you can search for a method to sync your old phone contacts to another service (like Google contacts, or yahoo contacts, or the Personal Information Manager on your computer like Outlook or Windows contacts), then sync the data to your iphone.

Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.
I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.
If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.
