Can't sync mail settings from iTunes to iOS7

I can't seem to sync the mail account settings from my computer to my new iphone, and have to enter them all manually. iTunes says it's done the business, but it uploads settings for a whole load of accounts I don't use (in spite of me unchecking them) and not the ones I do use.
I should note that I use imap, and have icloud syncing for email turned off.
Fortunately I'm clever and can enter them manually, but it does take away from the "use straight out of the box" ethos of Apple, especially as I have spent a fortune updating my hard and software to the latest products.
Fix it Apple.

You should begin by transferring your purchased content into your iTunes library so that the sync does not "erase" the iPad. There is no need to remove apps from the iPad before you sync.
Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Transfer Purchases from the pop up window. Let the transfer complete, right click on the iPad name again and this time select - Backup. That will backup the iPad app data and settings (among other things) to your computer.
Make sure that you are signed into the same account on the iPad - the same Apple ID - that you are using on the computer in iTunes. On the iPad go to Settings>Store >Apple ID in order to check. If the ID's are the same - go into the Apps Tab in iTunes on the right. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected and make sure that all of the apps are selected to sync as well. You can go into all of the tabs in iTunes and select all of the content that you want to sync. When you are sure that everything is selected the way that you want - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to sync the content to the iPad.

Cannot sync mail settings from macbook to iphone using itunes

hi. i am another new mac user. i have one problem with syncing my iphone through itunes. i can select contacts, calendar and bookmarks, BUT the mail options are shaded grey and not available to select.
i'm guessing that somehow i have selected that mail be synced with mobile me, but i don't want to do this!
can anyone please advise how i revert to syncing with itunes?
also, don't know if this is related, but my iphone doesn't seem to be backing up to my macbook when i try syncing or updating in itunes.
Would be really grateful for guidance. thanks.

Hi,
For the email account syncing issue, try restarting the iPhone and your Mac. You can restart the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 34 of the iPhone User Guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
For the backup issue, try right-clicking the iPhone and choosing Backup iPhone as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Do you see the backup in the iTunes> Preferences> Devices?

Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
- There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
- I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
- I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
- Everything still plays in iTunes.
- If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
- I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
- I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
(I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

I can't sync music files from itunes to my iphone4s(ios6)?

i can not sync my musci files from itunes to my iphone4s.

Ragazzi anche io ho lo stesso problema.
Ho attivato l'iTunes Match, che funziona correttamente sul pc e sull'iPhone 4S.
L'ho attivato anche sul mio iPad, ma, tuttavia, dopo un breve periodo in cui ha funzionato correttamente, ha iniziato a dare problemi.
Vi descrivo di seguito ciò che ho rilevato:
- il periodo in cui l'iTunes Match ha funzionato correttamente sull'iPad è durato solo qualche settimana;
- in seguito, anche se tutti i brani della Cloud venivano visualizzati sull'iPad, dava problemi nel senso che i brani non venivano riprodotti e, inoltre, la durata veniva indicata in "zero" per tutti i brani, sicchè, cliccandoci, non venivano riprodotti;
- ho provato a disattivare e riattivare l'iTunes Match e, a questo punto il dispositivo ha dato il messaggio "tutta la tua libreria musicale verrà sostituita con quella su iTunes Match", mentre, nell'applicazione "MUSICA" erano spariti tutti i brani: veniva visualizzata, al centro della pagina, la nuovoletta del Cloud, con una barra di download sotto. Questo è durato per circa quattro giorni, senza che succedesse nulla, nel senso che la barra del download non mostrava segni di caricamento;
- allora ho provato a ripristanare le impostazioni e, a questo punto, erano visualizzati di nuovo i brani, ma comunque senza possibilità di riprodurli (la durata di nuovo indicata come "zero");
- nel momento in cui ho provato a cliccare su uno dei brani, è riapparsa la nuvoletta del Cloud con la barra di download sotto;
- quando i brani ricompaiono, hanno sempre durata zero e non vengono riprodotti;
- ho attivato anche la condivisione in famiglia ma il problema non cambia.
Vi preciso che il mio iPad è della prima generazione ed è aggiornato all'IOS 6.

HT1386 Can't sync an album from iTunes to my iPod

One song on an album would not sync from iTunes to my iPod, so I deleted the album and resynced. Now the entire album won't sync. I've tried rebooting both my iPod and my computer. I just won't sync to the iPod. I have 3.4Gb free on my 64Gb iPod. I use iOS 5.1.

Problem is solved. I looked at the songs in this album through the "On this iPod" menu option. I could see there were sync errors on the songs in this album. I reset the warnings and turned on "iCloud" in the iPod settings. The album and songs synced from iCloud. Now everthing is fine.

I can't sync my playlists from iTunes to my phone!

I can't sync my playlists! I've tried dragging the playlist to my phone and it says it's syncing but it's not appeared on my phone. I click on the drop down menu from the phone and it says that all the playlists are there, but they're not actually there. When I clicked on the music tab when you click on the phone if I click selected playlists then not all the music is on there but only the music that's on the playlists. This is really frustrating! The Apple Support page is absolutely rubbish, I don't want to call apple or go into the store to ask such a simple question! I'm desperate!

I have this issue too! However it only appeared yesterday.
I am a dance teacher and use my phone for all my class playlists. Earlier in the week I uploaded a couple of my Christmas class playlists fine, however last night I was unable to upload my list at all and ended up having to drag my laptop out with me in order to work!
I have tried turning both phone and laptop off, I have since loaded the lastest version of Ios 8.1.2 which doesn't appear to have done anything. And now I have seen a whole heap of issues in a similar vein encountered by other people.
I appreciate that I am using an old phone (iPhone 4s) but I had not changed anything prior to this issue appearing last night. I did encounter it briefly some months ago... and vaguely remember sorting it by checking the names of all the music styles that I wanted to have appear on my iPhone, but that seems a very long-winded way of ensuring that my playlists are updated.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

How can I sync my iphone from itunes? It seems to be "blocked"

Hi! I bought my iphone on march in NY & when I came back to argentina and configured it, I discovered it isn't able to sync music, videos or photos from itunes. I also have an Ipad but I've never had problems with it. I don't know what to do. When I press the sync button it just doesn't download the files to the iphone. I 've tried to manually choose the music I wanted to sync, but I'm not able to press the buttons as they don't seem to work. Also, on the phone it shows there's no music files.

I cant get songs from itunes to sync!!!!!

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Can't sync my music from itunes to iPhone

I recently updated itunes on my computer and now I can't sync my music to my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

Can't sync new album from itunes to ipod

have recently downloaded new coldplay album from itunes but ipod will not pick it up during syncing, however will pick up recent podcasts??? any suggestions please!!!!

Your computer may not be authorised. Try playing a track from the album from itunes. If you are not authorised, it should prompt you for your password. Once authorised it should transfer to the iPod.

I can't sync movies (BOUGHT from iTunes) to my iPod nano!

Any movie I buy won't sync. I have another movie from my computer that worked after i converted to mp4. Mp4s work but not m4vs
Midway the sync it stops and I get an error.
"Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I get this error at different times. The first time i attempted to put it on, it went 2 cm. The last time it went almost halfway.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Luke

I have the same problem. Movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes will not work if they are longer than 25 minutes. The guy at the 14th st Genius bar said that all is well with both computer, nano and software so "we're calling it a usb problem". Do you have an older model mac or pc?

I can´t sync my songs from itunes to Iphone

Since i updated iTunes recently and my Iphone to 8.1.2 i have trouble syncing my own record songs to the Iphone via Itunes. I have tried to convert them from mp4 to aac to mp3 but nothing works. And every other time i sync with the phone some other albums just disappear from the phone.
It seems the music synchronization has stopped working properly.
Has anybody encountered that same problem?
Another layer to this is that i have recorded the songs on the voice memo app and i wanted them in my music player so i mailed them to myself (since there is now way to save them directly into the player ) and then try to load them into the phones music player via Itunes. The reason for that is I want to tell Siri to play them for me in the car (so i don´t have to look at my phone while i drive). This should be the way to do it, although it´s very complicated.

YOu bought more backup storage, not actually storage for your phone..
Start deleting emails/pics/texts..etc to make more room

Can't sync personal ringtone from iTunes to iPhone 6 plus

Hi
I have created a personal ringtone , a 20 sec clip. I saved it as an arc and renamed it to .M4R
I added it to iTunes which correctly put it in the tones folder. I connected my iPhone - checked the sync tones option /all
and hit sync.
The ringtone refuses to come across.
I am using iOS 8.1 and iTunes v12.0.1.26
any help would be great
thanks
Tony

Hello,
I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.

Can't sync some songs from itunes

I just got 10.4.11 on my imac and a new ipod nano using itunes 8.02. I can sync some tracks (manually) but with others I get the error message: "Not copied to ipod XXX's ipod because you are not authorized to play it on this computer." What does this mean?

Hey there,
Did you try to reauthorize your computer? Deauthorize it and then reauthorize it if necessary. See if that helps.
