Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
plenty of available space on brand new phone
IOS 7.0.4
itunes 11.1.3.8

After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

Problems syncing music....

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

ITunes not syncing music

Hello,
I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you authorized your new computer: Store>Authorize this Computer?

"Please use iTunes to sync music"... uh, I have music

Never had this issue before. I have a shuffle from 09' and today I decided to add a few songs... when plugged in iTunes recognizes the shuffle and shows my music on the device.
When I eject it and attempt to listen to music, the only thing I hear is "Please use iTunes to sync music"
Any one have any ideas?
FYI, I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes.
Based off of my experience, I'd say iTunes is the issue

My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle. When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music". What does that mean?

I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music". What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only? thanks, Jester

Dear jester,
Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
I hope this help you.

It says please use itunes to sync music..

Just bought a new ipod shuffle. I can listen to the songs from my mac, but when I eject, it says please use itunes to sync music. I placed the button in the middle that didn't solve the issue.

In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of the window) visible? If not, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, under DEVICES, when you connect both shuffles at the same time, both should be listed there, but only one of them appears, correct?
The blinking orange light means the shuffle's disk is mounted, so it is definitely connecting. And you said earlier that it appears in My Computer. What you should try is a Restore. However, you cannot do a Restore, unless it appears in iTunes. So, you may want to try erasing (reformatting) the shuffle using Windows, like it was a USB flash drive. When you do this, iTunes should not be running. Select FAT (or FAT32) as the disk format. If there is a choice to do a quick format, select to do a full format.
Then, run iTunes with only this one shuffle connected. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. If that happens, do the Restore, which re-erases the shuffle, put its software back on, and sets it to default settings. If you are not prompted, but the shuffle now appears in iTunes, select it and do a Restore from the shuffle's Summary screen.
If that does not help either, you should contact Apple to get it replaced. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genuis Bar and take it there. Depending on where you purchased it (and how long ago it was), you may also be able to just return it for refund, and buy another one.

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

Problem syncing music from itunes to iphone

I am having problems syncing my music to my iphone. Itunes goes through the process but my music does not transfer. Any helpful would be great:)

Go the Applications folder and drag the iTunes.app into the trash. That's all you need to do with any app on the Mac. (Easier than that Control Panel thing on Windows . If you want to ensure you delete any related preference files with the app, suggest you use AppCleaner (you can download free here - http://appcleaner.en.softonic.com/mac .

ITunes 10 Problem Syncing Music

Hey,
I just got a laptop with windows 7, and I've owned a 2nd gen iTouch for quite some time. I downloaded iTunes 10, and I don't know if there's a problem, or if it's just bad. Syncing my music is harder than ever to do now. Before with iTunes 9.something it did it on it's own, but I have to select junk?
Can someone tell me if there's a problem with it, or if I'm dumb.
And if I'm dumb, could someone please tell me how to sync music to my ipod from iTunes 10.
THANKS :D!!!

Problem syncing music on my ipod touch4th from itunes

hello, I have an ipod touch bought in december 2011. It has always been working fine with itunes, my last transfer of music was on 10th of December. I've tried to transfer more music from itunes manually (uploaded three cds on itunes) on to the ipod but the music shows grayed up with a little circle in front of the track.
So to summarize, music is transferred on ipod but is not accessible or playable, even though it shows up on ipod but grayed. I tried to delete an older track which was fine and re transfer it and it's appeared back on but grayed. My itunes version is 11.1.3. Have you heard of similar issues? I'm not sure what to do about it, if it's anything to do with the mavericks update? Also when doing it on iphone 4, it works fine.
thanks for your help.

To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.
I do not understand what you mean by: "expot it from my purchased music".
The following describes how to redownload purchased media.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1386 Problem Syncing Music from Itunes to Ipod Touch.

I have one music album on Itunes that won't sync with my Ipod touch. I tried deleting it from Itunes and then adding it again. Still not on Ipod. Also, I have several albums in Itunes that the music will sync but the album artwork will not.

Try redownloading them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Sync them to your iPod for an iTunes library using the manual method
