Can't sync music after 3.0 upgrade - help!

Last night I upgraded to 3.0 on my 1st generatio iPhone. It took forever, and even though I received an error message at one point, and restarted, it worked. The problem is that even though I restored my backup, the music is gone from the phone. I tried synching with iTunes a number of times, get NO error messages and all appears fine. But the iPod function still has NO content. I made sure my playlists were selected to be synched, but still nothing. Anyone ever experience this? Any known fixes?
thx

Ok, problem solved. An Apple rep advised me to sync my phone without synching the music files, and then after it's done to go back in, and select music to be synched and do it again. This did the trick.

  • Can't sync music after updating to latest version of itunes.

    everything syncs but my music after upgrade. songs only show up in icloud and are not synced when i connect my ipod touch to my pc. how can i fix this?

    After upgrading to 4.0b5 today, my sound is acting very strange also.
    I run my audio out via the headphone jack, and now when FireFox should be playing a sound - suddenly the audio is routed through the computer speakers for a second and then it switches back to the headphones.
    Everything is playing through the headphones fine, but when FireFox has audio to play - it routes it through the computer speakers instead and then toggles back over to the headphones.
    Note - the FIREFOX sounds do NOT play when this happens, but any audio im playing on the computer other than with FireFox DOES play when it switches back and forth between the computer speakers and the headphone jack.
    As others have mentioned I also got that error message after updating that said 'Alert' and something about a process that could not be completed, or something to that effect. I searched the message earlier and it said there was an fix in the works for it already - I hope the fix for whatever that was will fix this funky audio problem.

  • Can't Sync Music after installing OS4 on brand new ipod

    Bought a new 8gb touch today, apps all moved over fine but anytime try to sync music manually or automatically, I get message error occured and Itunes shuts down.
    Have reinstalled itunes to no avail and tried using a different cable.
    Tried to restore to factory settings but still have OS4.
    Only thing I have done today is install the update and after reading all the post's here wish I hadnt.
    Any ideas folks, thanks in advance

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Can't sync audiobooks after IOS 5 upgrade.

    After IOS 5 upgrade I am unable to Sync my iphone 4 either by WiFi or connected via USB.
    Itunes becomes un responsive after "Determining tracks to sync".  Have been able to sync only after disabling Audiobooks sync.
    SO far have done the following.
    - Changed the USB cable
    - Re "Keep Library Origanized"
    - Created new playlist with 1 audiobook.
    Itunes crashes everytime.
    Have been able to sync my ipad 2 & nano with no issues.
    Anyone have any ideas before I toast my iphone & start from scratch?

    Nothing syncs if I have sync audiobooks turned on.
    First I didn't know what the problem was and I even wiped my iPhone and started from scrach (what a pain it was).
    Nothing. No music, no Apps, no ringtones, no audiobooks.
    I installed some apps via the app store, and some audiobooks with audible app.
    But the rest still didn't work.
    Then I clicked "Tranfer purchases from ...'s iPhone" on iTunes and some of my music and ringtones started to transfer to the iPhone!! Partially. I had to click it again to get the rest of the music and ringtones. But the audiobooks didn't transfer. Not even from a playlist.
    After I unchecked Sync Audiobooks, I managed to get some apps transfered to the iPhone but they're still "Waiting" not "Loading." Every time I click on sync a little bit of the apps transfer, but then their status goes back to "loading."
    My biggest problem is that I have non Audible audiobooks. These I don't know how to put in the iphone.

  • Can't sync properly after 4.5 upgrade

    I have a Pearl 8100 and just upgraded to v 4.5. I didn't know anything about vendor-specific upgrades and just upgraded directly from Blackberry.com. Now when I try to synchronize (I use Outlook 2003 via Desktop Manager v4.2.0.14) it wants to add all my appointments in from Outlook -- but they're still on my BB. If I complete the sync I'll have duplicates of EVERYTHING. In addition, most (but not all) of the "all day" events on my  BB have become 12:00A - 11:59P events instead of just an all-day entry at the top of the day. I keep cancelling the sync, so I can't even imagine what would happen if I got as far as synching my Address Book.
    I looked into updating my Desktop Manager software but I can't backup because I can't sync (though I have backed up my whole Outlook file, so I guess I am backed up). I also looked into uninstalling v4.5, but the directions I found on a different posting said to delete the upgrade from Add/Remove Software and it wasn't in there. I know I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I'm feeling extra lame.
    I'm also irritated that some images that came with my Pearl are gone; I used them as background. I've read on other postings that those images aren't in the new software -- but why were they deleted?
    What should I do?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    for the images : you can see it otherwise : the images have never been available except for OS 4.2 and OS 4.3. You can search the web, maybe someone will have stored them somehow as images and not as an application.
    about backup : it has nothing to do with synchronization.
    a backup is a file that contains all data from your device. It cannot be used at all except for a complete restore of databases. You should be able to make a backup.
    for the calendar : are all the events in Outlook ? if so, you can wipe the calendar database on your device (using the right panel of the desktop manager) and then do a synchronization from Outlook Calendar.

  • Can't sync music after 6.1.3 update

    No matter what mish-mash of settings I try, I can no longer sync my iTunes music to my phone. If I look at the music on my phone via iTunes, it's all greyed out. Nothing in these forums works, I've read at least 100 pages. Please help!

  • IPhone 4 will not sync music after resetting and upgrading to 6.1.3

    When I upgraded my iPhone to 6,1,3, an error message came up telling me to reset my iPhone. With the backup it went fine until I yesterday decided to listen to some of my 4400 songs. All the music is gone. I have had iPhone, iPad and iPod since they came on the market, and I have used Apple for some 25 years. I have neveer experienced this problem. I have checked all the settings both on my MBP (with all the latest software) and on my iPhone. Everything looks normal. There is about 25Gb available space on the iPhone.It goes through the stages of syncing, but skps the music. I could try resetting it again, but just incase the problem is a setting I have overlooked, I am asking all of you out there who have experienced this problem earlier and found a solution.

    This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

  • I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

    I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

    Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can't sync music from iTunes 11 to iPhone 4 since getting iOS 6.1

    IPhone 4, iOS 6.1
    Basically, plugged in my phone to put a new cd on, and as it started I noticed the 'other' bar was huge and iTunes was saying my phone was 6gb over capacity and was still trying to sync apps I'd deleted a month before, so stopped the process thinking it was damaging my phone.
    I then, thinking the phone had backed up, deleted all pictures to make some space and tried to sync again. The same happened.
    Next I decided to update the iOS to 6.1 and try again. This is when I started not being able to syncs anything. Music, film, photos, tv shows, nothing.
    The sync will start and the phone capacity bar shows will show how much space will be taken up and the sync skips to the end and nothing has been synced. In iTunes in the music view under devices on tje left the files are greyed out with the sync in progress icon next to them.
    I have also got a 'connection has been list to the iPhone' error message which I really don't understand as they are connected via USB and the phone is still mounted in iTunes.
    Since then I have tried every different connotation of settings through iTunes to no avail. I've backup and restored, I've restored to a new phone but with no results at all. 
    I have read 20 or discussions on The Apple forums and it seems that loads of slightly different solutions have worked for lots of different people and I also know many people are completely unaffected by this, but I use my phone more as an iPod than phone.
    It's proper frustrating, especially when Apple release a software update for iPhone 4S users but not iPhone 4 owners.
    Oh and today it also seemed to be flakey in terms 3G connections.
    Oh and since Christmas I haven't been able to use home sharing as it won't finish connecting, it just stops!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • How can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.
