Cannot sync pictures or music

I have BlackBerry Link 1.2.0 build 17 on OSX 10.9.1 (macbook pro), and my Z10 (10.2.0.429) no longer syncs pictures or music. When I connect the Z10 with a USB cable and drag a picture from the Z10 to the "This Computer" field in Link, the Activity window shows the activity, iPhoto appears and dissappears, but no pictures are transferred. If I let it do a whole bunch, same thing. This worked successfully until a few weeks ago. OSX and Z10 have both been rebooted.
Any suggestions?
thanks
mike

This info is for a PC, must be similar for a MAC, you can find it here, open Link, click help top right and scroll down to the section "Some files didn't sync"
Some files didn't sync
Try the following actions:
Verify that the battery power level of your BlackBerry device is 20% or higher. Syncing will not begin if the battery level is lower than 20%. Your battery level indicator appears at the top of the home screen on your device.
If you are trying to sync your music, pictures, videos, or documents between your computer and your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you must connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable.
If you changed a file on both your device and your computer, the version of the file on your computer is the version that BlackBerry Link syncs. The version of the file on your device is overwritten by the version on your computer.
If you have a media card in your device and you have turned on USB mass storage on your device, BlackBerry Link can't access the files on your device. For information about how to turn off the USB mass storage setting, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.
Verify that your device has enough available storage for your music, pictures, videos, and documents. Consider using a higher capacity media card for your device.
Verify that your songs don't contain any digital rights management (DRM) technologies.
Verify that your files are in a supported format.
If your videos didn't sync and the video extension is supported, verify that your video or audio codecs are supported.
If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that a file wasn't deleted. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, select the Notify me if syncing content will delete content from my device or computer checkbox.
If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that there wasn't a conflict. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, click Configure to check your sync preferences and conflict resolution options. You can also click Show Recent Activity.
Verify that your contacts and calendar sync preferences, including the option to sync automatically are set correctly.
If your device is activated on BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, verify with your administrator that BlackBerry Link can access the files on your device.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

Some people have found that deleting the photo cache has fixed it - the location of it, and how to delete it, is described on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

Device Manager which is in Control Panels
I strongly recommend AIDA64 to show everything, temps, fans, chips, drivers and versions

I cannot sync non purchased music

Hi i have recently added my iphone 5 onto my existing itunes library, it has synced my music to it however it has only synced the tracks what are down as purchased, it will not transfer songs that i have ripped from cd's.
Can anyone help me please

Hello clem1988,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone. It sounds like you are seeing just your purchased music, which is visible from iTunes in the Cloud (there is a cloud icon next to the items that stream and are not actually on your device).
When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked. From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
I recommend reviewing the full article here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HT1386 Help with syncing pictures and music

Hi - I have an Ipad 2 and when I first synced everything up with my itunes, it added all of my music and photos. Now my ipad says storage is full. I want to delete some songs and photos though it appears that I need to be on my home computer to do this and not my ipad. When I try and sync it says it will delete what I have. Do I do this, and with my pictures it just shows me general folders to sync, not specific photos. Can anyone help?

Did you format the new card? You need to do that before being able to access it. You do that via SETTINGS / SD Card & Phone Storage - you need to UNMOUNT it first, then click on FORMAT SD CARD.
As far as the MUSIC, I would just connect via USB and access the files (DCIM / MEDIA) via File Folders on your PC .. get the Media Manager out of the way - it causes more problems than solutions. IMHO.

Cannot sync Family Share music to my PC's iTunes?

Updated PC and iPhone's iOS to the latest, and my husband and I started utilizing the Family Share feature now available under iCloud. While we both were able to download songs from the other's library to our phones, I cannot seem to see those downloads in my PC's iTunes. I have tried syncing, signing out and signing out, checking for available downloads, etc. Also, oddly, when I plug my phone in to the PC, the new songs show up in the "On This Iphone" tab, but not under music. I know that you can authorize up to 5 computers to have Family Share content on them, I just cannot figure out how. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Cannot sync ipod, no music show up

I'm want to sync my ipod with itunes and after a success sync, the ipod show me no music, and after i plugin the ipod, itunes say's that it cannot read content and that I have to restore it.

Read the stuff on reallocated sectors via the links in the earlier post. When modern hard drives get a patch of data they can't read back properly they attempt to silently self-heal by using a different area of the drive for that block in future. There is a limit however to how much space has been put to one side for that process. As the number of unreadable sectors escalates it becomes likely that just using the drive is causing futher damage. I think you're about maxed out on the sectors available for remapping. A DFU restore might release those 216 pending sectors, and putting data back on in small chunks might work for a bit, but it would only be a temporary fix at best.

TS2529 just updated my iphone 4; now I cannot sync with my music on my mac nor download music from itunes. all other items: photos, calendar, email syncs; not music. how do i get music on my iPhone?

I just updated my iPhone 4. I now cannot synch with music on my iMac nor can I download from iTunes. All other syncing activity works: calendars, email, ibooks and contacts are all automatically updated across all devices. Not music.
How do I get music to download and sync?

Plug your phone into itunes.
Click the iphone there, and go to the music tab.
Is the Sync Music tab checked off? And is the entire music library selected?

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 :-(

Cannot sync non-purchased music from itunes to iphone

I can't sync/transfer/put any music on my phone that wasn't purchased from itunes ever since I last updated itunes (much regret). I imported the music to my library, synced, nothing was added. I checked "sync only checked songs and videos" yes the songs i want to sync are checked, synced, nothing was added. Made sure that "sync music" under the music tab was checked, synced, nothing added. This is really frustrating me.

I have the reverse problem. My computer crashed with the new Mavericks update and it had to be completely wiped. I fortunately have my entire library on my iPhone (including 1000s of non apple purchases), but I am on thin ice to preserve this library without being able to transfer everything back to my computer.

Cannot sync MPEG-4 Music files

I'm in China for a while so I am on a laptop I rarely use. I brought my music with me and it's all on my laptop ready to be synced. However when I tried to sync with my iPod Touch something very strange happened. It seems to be able to sync everything except the MPEG-4 music files. The problem is that this is 99% of my music and all I'm left with several albums including Prince and Lucie Silvas, neither of which I have bought or even like (so how did it get there? - spooky). All my good stuff which I uploaded from my CDs ages ago is stuck on iTunes and there's nothing I can do to persuade it to transfer onto my iPod.
On the advice of a friend I de-authorised and then authorised the Laptop. All seemed to go well but then it still didn't sync. I can play all the music from iTunes but I want it on my iPod too.
So please save me from Prince and Lucie Silvas, help me get my music onto my iPod.
Desperate thanks
Sian

First i would like to know whether u get any messages while syncing?
Also try converting them to mp3 file or an AAC file and see if it works.
