Cannot Sync Photos and Music with iTunes

After I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 5s to iOS 8, I cannot remove my music from my iPad to create more space, and I cannot restore the photos that was removed from my phone during the update process. With my iPad, I tried removing the music with iTunes on my Mac and the message appears asking if I want to remove music after I uncheck sync music, but it did nothing to my iPad, even after I synced multiple times. I even tried removing music on my iPad by going to Setting>General>Usage>Music, but one I clicked on Music the app would crash to the home screen. I have tried doing this with or without it connect to iTunes, as well as restarting it but nothing works. It keeps crashing.
With my iPhone I tried syncing photos multiple times but it is always stuck on (step 5 of 6: Importing photos), where it will continue for hours and then give up. I tried unchecking the sync photos first and then tying to sync it with the photos again but the same problem persists. I also tried removing the iPod Photo cache from my iPhoto Library and then syncing it again but nothing.

Problems solved! Apparently when iTunes 10.5 is installed, the settings for what to sync, e.g. photos, music is reset to the default in which no content is synched. What's more, these settings are not particularly obvious in the Windows version on iTunes, as you have to scroll down to actually see them. There is also no message or other information as part of the upgrade process that warns that theses boxes will revert to being unchecked after the upgrade.
From a user-centered design process, POV the upgrade and its instructions are woefully disappointing :-(

I can't sync photos and music to my iPad afternoon updated to ISO5

After updating to IOS5, i can't upload my photos and music to my dad's iPad. My and my mom's iPhone 4 are OK. We just have problem with my dad's iPad.
I just updated it to 5.0.1, it's still not working.
Anyone has the same problem?
And can anyone help?
Sorry, I'm not sure how to search this forum, if this question has been asked and answered, can someone tell me how to search the forum.
Thank you very much.

I loaded the photos through iTunes from iPhoto, the folder is on my computer in iPhotos. And still checked in iTunes. Here is the exact message I get when I click on "Synch Music":
Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPhone “Arthur Fenster’s iPhone” will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
Maybe I am misinterpreting but it sounds like "existing content" means the photos, which can be put back on but then I suspect the music will be replaced.

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

I cannot sync my iPhone 4s with iTunes (MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8)

Whenever I attempt to connect my iPhone 4s to my MacBook Pro to sync and transfer music I receive the following error message: "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
I tried downloading latest version of iTunes but when I went to install, received error message that I needed OS X 10.6 or later. Subsequently, I just purchased OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. Once I upgrade to that OS, will I be able to software upgrade to the appropriate versions of OS X and iTunes so that I can sync my iPhone 4s with my iTunes on MacBook running OS X 10.6.?

Yes.

Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

Sync photos and music from iPhone to iMac.

When syncing an iPhone 5 (ios7) to an iMac (Mavericks) only the photos in the camera roll sync to iPhoto and not those photos that are in albums. Also, the only music that syncs to the mac is the music purchased from iTunes and not music added from iTunes on another machine.
How do you get all music and photos to sync to the new machine?
Many thanks.

It will automatically do it when you plug it in, weather you have aperture or iphoto. when i plug my iPhone 4 in it will open aperture for example. If it doesn't do it automatically, go ahead and do it manually from device, iPhone section in iTunes. its like a file layout and on the top it will say photo, apps, music. etc. click photos and sync to iPhoto or aperture.

Cannot sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes says it cannot find device

Cannot sync iPhone 4 with I tunes says cannot find device

I was on 10.5.8 so I ordered the disc from apple, it cost £13. This updated me to 10.6.3, and from there you can do a free upgrade from the apple website to 10.6.8. And I now actually have the problem solved, I just had to restore the iPhone in iTunes and it synced correctly. Looks like it was a little glitch in the phone!

Cannot sync ATV1 Purchased Movies with iTunes

I have recently purchased 5 movies via my ATV1. I cannot sync or get my purchased
movies into itunes. They are not in my itunes folder and I have no available downloads.
They used to always automatically appear in my iTunes folder, but not anymore. The TV
shows I've purchased are syncing, just not movie purchases.
I have the most recent ATV1 update and most recent iTunes update. Any help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

How to use iSync to sync photos and music?

Hey guys.
How do i use isync to sync my music and photos from my imac to my phone?

You don't.
iSync is for syncing contacts and calendar data from Address Book and iCal.
You'll have to look for an alternative third-party application to manage your music and photos, but as you haven't mentioned which – out of the 1000's of phones there are - you've got, I can't make any recommendations.
