My Mac crashed
So bought a new computer transferred my music library to i tunes from the old MAC harddrive... and now I cannot sync my music library or podcasts with my ipod...only contacts.,.I spent hours trying tofigure this out and it is breaking my heart....
Please help

Welcome to the discussions,
you can only sync to one itunes library at a time. If you change your computer or replace the HD and install a new OS, itunes will create a new library and the phone will not sync to this one unless it got erased before by itunes.
To get your music back to the phone make sure your new itunes is authorized in the Store menu: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.
I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works.
I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4. Please help!

I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
Thanks for the effort

Step 2: Turn off iTunes Match on all your devices
(iPad: settings > music > iTunes Match [off]).
(iPhone: settings > music > iTunes Match [off])

Cannot sync music to Phone 4.

Cannot sync music to Phone 4. This is second hand phone given to me recently, but all settings were erased and set up from scratch. I am new to iTunes; I have had no problems syncing to iPad or iPod but cannot copy music to iPhone, presume this should be possible? All music is imported from CD's at present.
I can see iPhone within iTunes on my PC, and when I select music to sync the status bar at bottom of summary page goes partly blue. I am trying to sync using cable, have turned off Home Sharing and Wifi sync as advised on other posts. When I click sync, various stages are run through very quickly at top of screen, but nothing actually copies over. When I did same thing on iPad, I could see each track being copied.
Getting very frustrated with iTunes, surely it should not be so difficult just to copy over some music?
Would appreciate any help.

He wants to keep his friends apps, videos and music while adding his own.
iPhones sync to 1 computer under 1 iTunes account.
All apps, video and music are tied to an account.
To use your iTunes stuff or purchase stuff in the future, you will have to restore wipe your friends stuff off the phone, associate it with your iTunes id.

Synced music library keeps vanishing!

Since the recent update I have noticed that the synced music library on my AppleTV keeps vanishing as if I don't have any music on it. In order to get it back, I need to go to Shared Music and then back to My Music on the AppleTV menu. The problem happens severa times a day. I have tried rebooting the AppleTV (in fact I usually have to reboot it at least once a week due to the fact in freezes).
Is the instability caused by having a second computer sharing its iTunes library with the AppleTV? It's getting abit irritating when you have listened to an album and then go back to select another album and find the whole music library has disappeared.

This problem seems to have been fixed with update 2.3 which I've been using for a numbers of days now
Pity about some of the other new problems introduced with update 2.3 though

Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

Cannot sync music to iPad or transfer bought films from iPad.

Hello,
I am having trouble with my iPad 2. I am trying to go through all the options but I cannot get anywhere with it.
I cannot sync any music from my iTunes to the iPad, and I have films purchased on the iPad (Purchased, not rented) that I cannot transfer to iTunes.
On the iPad "about" shows no songs, 1 film. When i go to the iPad tab in iTunes there is the music I want synced (in grey) and no films.
Whenever I go through a sync process it says completing steps 1 through 7, but after step 7 "cancelling sync".
I would restore the iPad but I don't want to lose the film I bought and I'd prefer to transfer it to the Laptop (MacBook) before I Restore the iPad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, already for about a month or so, (a bit after the release of iOS 7) on my iPhone 4S.
Always stuck on Waiting for Changes to be Applied.
I already tried:
- built a completely new iTunes Library (my previous one was completely manually managed, this one is automatic, a change I had planned to do since a while, but now thought would be good to implement because it may fix my issue... no it didn't).
- Removed all voice memos from my iPhone.
- Restored from a iCloud backup. Then syncing again.
- Updated to Mavericks with iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3.
- Changed the name of the MediaLibrary.sqlitedb file on the iPhone (trough Phoneview) to have iTunes make a new Library. Still it's stuck on the bigger playlists.
The only thing I didn't do yet, was setting it up as a completely new phone. I am not gonna loose 4 years of text messages because of a bug in the software.
It syncs some playlists, but most of my larger ones it doesn't. I paid 850 euros to have an 64GB iPhone 4S, and now I have to leave it with 3/4 empty space because of Apple. Very frustrating.

Cannot sync music to iPhone 5 and iPad Mini in iTunes 11

As you can see above, I'm having this annoying problem.
At first this issue was just with my iPad Mini, but now it's happening with my iPhone 5.
For some reason, it cannot sync all of my music. All it's doing is just getting stuck at the last step (either "waiting for changes to be applied" or "waiting for items to copy")
Could someone help me out here?

I cannot sync music to my iPad

I just got an iPad 2. I am trying to sync my iTunes music library to my iPad. I was able to sync my apps, mail acounts, pocasts, and books but not any music. I have tried repeatedly with no success. I select sync music then selected playlist, albums, artists, and so forth. Nothing happens. Why?

Problem syncing music library

Hey,
I have my iTunes syncing to AppleTV on a custom sync, All my Movies and TV Shows have synced fine, but when I choose to sync my whole music library, it only syncs 229 items, when I have nearly 2000. Anyone know why this may be?
Thanks,
Oliver

Go to the folder/playlist - whatever....then go to EDIT SELECT ALL...then go to the first item on your list - right click - if it is already selected you'll have to uncheck selection, then do it again and choose check selection. It keeps the 'select all' option
