Home sharing will not sync to iPhone 4.

I have two pcs, two Apple tv's and an iPhone 4. Home sharing works on all devices except my iPhone , I've tried everything, please help. iOS 6. Thanks.

I just wanted to add to this as this post comes up when desperately googling for a solution.
I had the same problem, (some apps were syncing, others weren't) and I found out it was because I had moved and reorganized my Music folder and iTunes couldn't find where the app files were.
This can be checked and fixed by going into the apps menu in iTunes and clicking each app. If there is a problem, a small grey "!" will appear to the left of the name of the app. Right click the app > Get Info > Locate and navigate to the new app folder (in iTunes Media > Mobile Applications), and everything should work fine.
Hope this also helps anyone who can't find a solution that works.

HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on". But it is. How can I solve this problem

I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3. Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac. The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
I have done the following.
Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
Selected Computer
Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly. Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled. Then it will not sync my iPhone. Any solution ideas?

When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled. Then it will not sync my iPhone 5. Any solution ideas?

Try unplugging any other USB devices. If you are using a hub, don't, connect the phone directly to a computer USB port.
None of these are necessarily things you should do, but might help. For instance, if you plug the phone to an already busy hub, the phone might be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and lock out the hub.

Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7. The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8). For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work. However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things! Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone. Any ideas on resolving this?

Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone. Any ideas to resolve this issue?

Similar issue:
I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
In case it of any use here are the tracks:
Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

Videos will not sync to iPhone from iTunes

Movies (Videos) will not sync to an iPhone 4S from iTunes Mac. They can be downloaded and played from iCloud. They sync to other iOS devices, just not this one.
Music does sync as do other media. When I try Movies (Video) I spend long minutes watching "Waiting for changes to be applied". I suspect it's timing out.
I don't see anything in Console. It doesn't matter whether Movie is DRMd or home.
I've restared phone and desktop. I wiped the phone and restored from Backup. I suspect if I wiped phone and treated at as NEW phone it would work, but I'd lose game settings, some data, etc. I haven't tried 'manual' management of music and video, I really dislike that. I did try dragging a movie to the iPhone manually, that behaved like sync.
I've used PhoneView, an OS X utility for browing phone to look for stuck or unexpect media. There are no Voice Memos and no Voicemail messages.
In iTunes, if I expand the Devices tree for the phone, and inspect Movies, I see the movies that have downloaded via iCloud. Movies that are supposed to sync from iTunes show with a grayed out font and dotted viewing status circle.
Any ideas? Any references to a technical description of the iTunes sync process?

A colleague on App.net (@gaelicwizard) came up with the fix for being unable to sync video to the iPhone. It suggests the bug is on the iPhone, and since a wipe/restore didn't fix it the bug is transmitted with the backup.
The fix was to setup iTunes on another account on the same machine, then sync the iPhone to THAT account. This wipes out all media and photos. When I did that I could sync a video to the iPhone.
I then synced the iPhone BACK to the original iTunes account -- this wiped all media again. This time though I could sync video from the original iTunes. I restored all of the media and was good to go again.
I still wonder if this bug is related to the fix for the 7.0 CloudAssets bug that was fixed in 7.1. There was also something odd about the movie 'Frozen' where the Cloud version and local iTunes version seemed somehow different...

Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

Calendar will not sync from iphone to ical since 10.5.2 update

My iphone has worked perfectly since I bought it last summer & I have been raving about it!
I updated to 10.5.2 and now I am having a syncing problem.
If I put an appointment in the iphone it will not sync to ical, but it does sync from ical to the iphone.
This is all new since 10.5.2.
Are there some simple steps to follow to resolve this issue?

1. got the back up done. After I answer your couple of quesitons, i will do the reset.
2. I am responding to you using my .mac account, which, as you know, is IMAP.
3. In addition, I do have a POP ( Yahoo) account that I use a great deal. I use the Mac Mail application to grab the Yahoo e mails for me, as I thought that would be the easiest set up. ( Just launch Mail and every e mail is available for viewing). I suspect you are going to advise me to take the steps to turn my POP Yahoo into an IMAP Yahoo???.
4. So I think I may have answered you question about accessing this account with an email client, right? I am using Mail.
5. Thanks for the thought on the incoming e mail server. Good to know.
6. My Mac account settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the email client ( Mail?) are: (1) for the Yahoo - I looked under Accounts/Advanced. And, if that is the right place, hopefully, I have set it to remove copy from server after retrieving a message after 1 month. ( just being careful). (2) I do not see choices for my .mac IMAP account, except under Trash, and for that I have also chosen 1 month before permanently removing.
How'd I do?? I want to answer your questions as specifically and succinctly as possible. Your assistance is much appreciated.

Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync. The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices. Any ideas?? I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad. hanks.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Album Art will not sync onto iphone 3GS

Songs I have downloaded since the 3.0 upgrade will not sync the album art onto my iphone 3GS. The art work is all in itunes, but on my phone it is just a black square. Help!

I have the same problem. Artwork is correct in iTunes, but does not sync with iPhone, even after deletion and re-sync. I have albums that did not originally have artwork that were transferred to the iPhone (3GS) without artwork. I then downloaded the artwork in iTunes, deleted the original files off the iPhone, and re-transferred the files (which now have artwork). The artwork did not transfer over to the iPhone. Basically, I'm stuck with the amount of artwork I had when I synced the iPhone for the very first time.

Itunes will not sync with iPhone or ipad

My ipad or iphone will not sync with my Macbook pro. This is the first "windoze" type I have ever had with an apple product. Been using them since Mac SE.
Help!
Itunes hangs if opened but does not hang if I connect as a guest on my macbook. I have deleted libraries, reinstalled Itune but nothing changes.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

New TV show will not sync to iphone 4

I downloaded a tv show on my iphone 5 but it will not sync to my iphone 4 even though it's in itunes. It doesn't show as a choose to sync. I looked at older posts but these used Macs, so I'm not sure how to fix in windows.

If the show your purchased was in HD, it will likely not synch to your iPhone 4 which doesn't support HD if I recall correctly.

Yahoo calender will not sync to iphone

My iphone 4 with upgrade to ios 5 will not sync my calender info to my phone.

had same issues. I put event via iphone and did not sync with yahoo but did with ical on the mac. main problem was writing events on the iphone not syncing. I have tried many ways to solve but I may have seemed to solve it (for me anyway) but you could give it a try.
Go to Settings- Mail,contacts,calenders.
Scroll down to calenders.
Choose DEFAULT CALENDER.
If it is ticked on icloud change it to Yahoo! which is probably at the top.
I then tried to write an event via the iphone and hey presto, it was added to my yahoo and ical calenders. Remember it may take a while unless you have set everything to push. i will give this a few tests (as i onlytried it a few moments ago myself) but seems to work.
