Cannot sync music with new iphone 5 or podcasts

This is so frustrating, Podcasts start to download on my phone then tell me theres an error, I can't sync my itunes music with phone either. I've searched on here and appled many techniques. I am subscribed to podcasts. I've checked manually manage music, there's only 2 songs i've imported by CD that I want!!
Can anyone help?

What happens when transferring Podcasts from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
if I go into my music on my phone and choose 'not on this iphone' the music comes up I choose what I want to download and the same thing as the podcast happens so I connected to itunes via my macbook air and it won't sync!
The first part is not syncing with iTunes. This is for downloading music on your iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store - that is not on your iPhone. This does not apply to Music imported into your iTunes library on your computer from a music CD unless you have iTunes Match enabled with your iTunes account.
What error message is provided if any when trying to transfer music from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process? Manually managing music and videos requires dragging the music from your iTunes library to your iPhone located under Devices in the iTunes source list. Syncing requires selecting Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and making your selections below followed by a sync. What happens when doing this?

Cannot synce photos with new iPhone 4

Just upgraded my AT&T 3GS to iPhone 4. Did the initial sync with no problems except it did not sync the photo I selected. Tried rebooting both thr phone and the computer (Windows 7). Still doesn't sync photos. I runs through optimizing photos twice then says sync is complete. Never had problems syncing the 3GS. Both phone and iTunes have the latest updates. Suggestions?

if she backed up in ios7 she can restore from the cloud in ios7
if she backed up from a device on ios8 then she has a problem.
Which is the case?

Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

Hey there,
I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists, Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

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

Artists showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed

My artists are showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed.
Am I missing something?
For example, I have 3 songs that are part of a compilation CD. I've change them to no longer being part of a compilation, and changes all of the tags of Arist and Album artist to the artists name, however they still show up as 'Various Artists' on my iPhone.
Any ideas?

You may find you need to remove the songs and then add them back again.

Itunes on second computer cannot sync music with iphone

My primary computer for syncing my iphone is a imac and my secondary computer is a laptop running windows with itunes on it. When i set up iphone to sync with the laptop the music would not sync. The itunes version on the laptop can download purhcased songs. So i purchased new music through itunes on the laptop and now cannot sync that to the iphone without erasing all the other music on the iphone. Does anyone know how i can sync the purchased music on the laptop itunes with the iphone?
Grateful for any advice. I am not a satisfied user of apple itunes and iphone. I purchase music on itunes as I believe in paying for copyrighted music. Then when i own it apple software does not allow me to use it easily. Not really fair.

I also could not even manually drag and drop files onto my iPhone from my second computer. I have a video iPod, Shuffle and now iPhone. I drop songs onto both my shuffle and video iPod from THREE different computers (work, home and laptop). Are you telling me for some wacky reason we now cannot use more than one computer to drop files onto the iPhone?
I love my iPhone but that *****!!! You hear that Apple, it *****!!!!

ITunes will not sync music to new iPhone.

I used to have an iPhone 5S 16GB, and I just got an iPhone 5S 32GB. I went to backup my new phone from iTunes, and it worked fine. Yesterday, I put a new CD on my iTunes and thought I had downloaded it onto my iPhone. I went to listen to the new CD today, but it was not there. I noticed when I plugged my iPhone into my computer, iTunes said under the "On This iPhone" tab that there are 792 songs on the iPhone, and the library shown in iTunes is correct. It has the new CD on it and everything. My iPhone, however, even after trying to sync the correct information multiple times, still has 908 songs on the phone, and the new CD is not one of them. Now my full iTunes has more music, which I have gone through and unchecked what I do not want on my phone. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" box checked on the main page. Everything according to iTunes is correct, but it does not match what is on my iPhone. I even tried taking the music off the iPhone and the putting it back on, and the computer said "Syncing 792 songs" but my iPhone still says 908. I can't figure this out, what do I do? Please help!

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Can't sync music on new iPhone 4

I have a new iPhone. I cannot sync my music which I have in iTunes for my iPod Touch. Each line has an exclamation point in front which means tune can't be "located." Everything else syncs fine. How do I get the tunes "located" so I can sync them?
Thanks,
David

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

Can't sync music to new iPhone

Hi,
My new iPhone arrived today and I have set it all up and used the restore from backup following backing up my old iPhone.
However, I can not seem to be able to sync music to it. When I go into the phone when it's connected and go to the music section I only see an option to sync voice memo's. When I click this I can then see my old play lists which are the ones I want to sync, however it doesnt put them on the phone.
There is a message on the above screen stating that the phone can download songs from my icloud, but I don't want that. I want to sync them from my PC.
All my other data such as contacts and old texts etc have sync'd.
Also... on another seperate note, does anyone else have a problem with this forum where the cursor moves back to an older finished sentence when you puase for to long?

The problem reported by FireFly62 may be different from that of adam.b.
FireFly62, your probable problem is this:
Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network.
My problem may (or may not) be similar to that of adam.b.
Here are specifics of my situation:
I sync several playlists. Two of them contain songs in iTunes but remain empty on my iPhone 5. (I am using iTunes 10.8.2.)
In iTunes, under Devices, in the Music section of my listed phone device, the songs on two of my (supposedly) synced playlists are grayed out. Each grayed-out song has a cyclical icon next to the song number, as if the song were in the middle of being synced. But no sync is in progress.
No matter how many times I select Sync, the songs in these two lists are not synced. No error message appears during sync, either. Other lists are fully synced.
If I unsync all Music in iTunes, apply the change, then resync, again these two playlists are not resynced. If go to Preferences / Advanced in iTunes and reset warnings and the cache, then Sync, again nothing happens with these two playlists. If I copy the songs from these two lists to two new lists, again none of the songs in these two new lists are synced.
If the problem is due to a corrupt library file, I am very reluctant to delete my library file and recreate my playlists from scratch.
I'm going to test it now, but I do already hve the option to choose what music to put on. I'll post back if it works.

I cannot hear music with my iPhone 4

My iPhone has no volume when I try to play music

Hey Christopher Ouslan,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing audio issues when your EarPods are connected. The following article provides troubleshooting steps for these symptoms:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
No sound through stereo headset
1. Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
2. Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
3. Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
4. If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose Music > Now Playing, then tap Play.
5. Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
6. Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
7. Try a different song or video.
8. Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
9. Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Manually manage music with new iPhone and new MacBook?

I have a new iPhone 6 that auto syncs with an old MBP iTunes library. I just got a new MBA and want to manually manage music between my new iPhone and my new computer. I don't want to transfer all of my music files onto my new MBA in efforts to save space.
I just want to keep all the music files that are currently on my phone, and have the ability to add more files as needed from my NEW MacBook.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi ksatia,
If you'd like to manually manage your content, which would allow you to sync content with multiple computers, then please take a look at the information in the article linked to below.

Itunes will not manually sync music with my Iphone 5

I am trying to manually sync music from ITunes and my Iphone5. From the Info screen I have selected the option to manually sync music and video files. From the music screen I have selected the option to sync selected artists, etc. I selected some of my music and was conscious to leave room for all the other items on my phone (per the storage bar at the bottom of the screen). When I select 'Sync' at the bottom of the screen, ITunes goes through all of the steps to sync and seems to complete. However nothing is copied over to my phone and I do not see any of the titles being transferred in the status bar. Additionally, I am receiving an error message that states I do not have enough disk space to complete the transfer and that an additional 4GB is required. However, I have a very small amount of music scheduled to transfer and the status bar that tracks available space still has over 7GB available with my selections made. I appear to have ample disk space yet the phone will not update any music at all. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I have the exact same problem. My Iphone is always synced by connecting to my computer because I don't want anything on the cloud. All of the sudden the yellow "other" part of the bar showing what's on my phone will fill up the right half of the bar even though I haven't added anything. I have emptied the phone of all it's content one category at a time to try to identify what the "OTHER" is. I remove all the apps, them Music and so on. It doesn't work and the yellow bar stays showing it is taking up half the space on my phone. So then I put the settings back the way they were, which should leave about a quarter of my storage space free. Then I do a reset of my phone and after two hours ( that's how long it takes) The "other" yellow bar goes back down to taking up about 1/20 of space on my IPhone even though I haven't made any changes. The only reason I sync at all is to add music to my phone that I've added to my main library on ITunes. This is so frustrating and a huge wast of my time! Can someone tell me haw to stop this please?

TS4062 Can't sync wirelessly with new iPhone

I've done all seven steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062?viewlocale=en_US. I have an iPod, iPad, and iPhone 4. All were syncing wirelessly. I upgraded the iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. The new iPhone won't sync wirelessly. The iPad and iPod still sync fine. On the iPhone, the "Sync Now" button is greyed out. I have iOS 6.0.2, iTunes 11.0.1, and Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Why does this have to be such a pain?

Ever since the new version of itunes came out, I can't sync my ipod with it. I have Windows 7 and an ipod nano.
Doublechecking ... do you have the new 10.6.1.7 version (released yesterday, NZ Time)?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Cannot sync photos with my iphone

I cannot sync photos from my MacbookPro with my iphone 4s, can anyone explain why and how i solve this problem?
Thanks,
19steve57

You connected it with the usb cable? iTunes launched? iPhoto launched?
"I even took it to KRCS and they could not work it out (Apple rep who sold me Macbook Pro not
interested)."
Don't know who KRCS is but that says alot about not buying Mac products there. Is there an Apple store near you?

I cannot sync itunes with my iphone 5

I'm trying to edit the music on my IPhone 5. In the past I would have simply selected the artists or tracks I wished to sync and pressed sync. However I'm not finding the option to select the artists anywhere. I've tried deleting all the music from the phone, but that doesn't work either. It keeps reappearing when I go to sync selected artists. I seem to be stuck with what is on the phone.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

I'm afraid you may be out of luck
