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.

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.

    If you have been syncing with the same library and iTunes, try unhceck "SYNC MUSIC" and click SYNC to allow iTunes to remove all music from your iPhone.  After that check SYNC MUSIC to SYNC again.

    You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

  • 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

  • HT1296 I cannot sync music from computer to iPad 2 but podcasts and books have synched

    I cannot sync music in iTunes from my laptop to my ipad2, the audio books and podcasts have synced. Please can anyone help?

    Step 1: Turn off iTunes Match on your computer
    (iTunes: store >  Turn off iTunes Match).
    Step 2: Turn off iTunes Match on all your devices
    (iPad: settings > music > iTunes Match [off]).
    (iPhone: settings > music > iTunes Match [off])
    Step 3: Sign off of your iTunes account
    (iTunes: store > sign out)
    Step 4: Disconnect your iPhone and/or iPad if they are connected to your computer. Then reconnect.

  • HT201253 Iphone 5s not syncing music to phone with itunes 12.0.1.26 - also cannot download full purchased albums, only some tracks

    The fun of new updates on my Windows 8.1 laptop and iphone 5S 64gb.
    I noticed since my last sync that some tracks had magically been removed - so I wanted to full sync. This couldn't even be instigated unless I deleted all my music off of phone, now it just hangs when syncing - for hours. No updates on how many tracks out of how many tracks have been synced.
    Also my purchased albums - I can see them on itunes as whole ones that are purchased, same on iphone.
    I then go to iphone to download my purchased items via itunes app, and it only shows some songs. An example is Drake, Game etc. - seems to affect full albums I've bought that are "deluxe" editions.
    All the normal/single edition albums seem fine.
    Absolutely fantastic, can't get my music onto phone except some purchased items - and even then it doesn't show all my purchases.
    Not sure if setting up family share affected things, but it can't even handle the simple tasks let alone downloading content from other users purchasers (which it detects fine ironically). New features but can't do anything that has previously been fine.
    Flabbergasted, had one work iphone4s 16gb and 64gb personal previously - no problems with same laptop.
    My alienware laptop is very high spec with SSD, so the fault does not lie here - apple related software or product.

    It couldn't do over 50gb in one go, had to do two half syncs to get all music on - i think this is limitation of the itunes software - pretty shocking really.

  • I recently updated my iPhone and now find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my phone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.  Thanks

    I recently ran an updatedafter being prompted multiple times. Now I find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my iPhone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.

    Why would you repurchase songs simply because they will not sync?  Sorry, that's beyond illogical, it's simply not smart.
    What happens when trying to sync these songs?
    Any errors?

  • ITunes 10.5 Freezing on Windows 7 - Cannot sync or update phone

    I have an iPhone 4 and I wanted to update to the iOS5 but I have to update my iTunes to the newest version. Now my iTunes freezes any time my phone is connected. I cannot sync my phone and I decided to just try to do the update but after it was done downloading the update it started to do the phone backup and stayed on the backup progress bar for over 45 mins when I decided to just give up. Before that I had tried syncing my phone over 10 times and each time it froze. I had to use the task manager to close iTunes because it wouldn't close. I have tried to repair iTunes with no luck. I don't have my music backed up anywhere so I don't want to uninstall iTunes, plus I don't want to lose my old phone backups (most recent last week) in case something goes wrong in the update. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of a fix?

    Hi guys,
    There is a solution on another thread, I don't know if you've seen this from someone called xeta.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16079074#16079074
    Basically:
    Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
    then type in:
    netsh winsock reset
    The restart the computer.
    I don't think this has worked for everyone but it has for many, including me.

  • 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?

  • Cannot sync music library

    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
