  • Cannot sync music to iphone

  • Cannot sync music to iPhone 5 and iPad Mini in iTunes 11

    As you can see above, I'm having this annoying problem.
    At first this issue was just with my iPad Mini, but now it's happening with my iPhone 5.
    For some reason, it cannot sync all of my music.  All it's doing is just getting stuck at the last step (either "waiting for changes to be applied" or "waiting for items to copy")
    Could someone help me out here?

    I'm having the same issue, already for about a month or so, (a bit after the release of iOS 7) on my iPhone 4S.
    Always stuck on Waiting for Changes to be Applied.
    I already tried:
    - built a completely new iTunes Library (my previous one was completely manually managed, this one is automatic, a change I had planned to do since a while, but now thought would be good to implement because it may fix my issue... no it didn't).
    - Removed all voice memos from my iPhone.
    - Restored from a iCloud backup. Then syncing again.
    - Updated to Mavericks with iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3.
    - Changed the name of the MediaLibrary.sqlitedb file on the iPhone (trough Phoneview) to have iTunes make a new Library. Still it's stuck on the bigger playlists.
    The only thing I didn't do yet, was setting it up as a completely new phone. I am not gonna loose 4 years of text messages because of a bug in the software.
    It syncs some playlists, but most of my larger ones it doesn't. I paid 850 euros to have an 64GB iPhone 4S, and now I have to leave it with 3/4 empty space because of Apple. Very frustrating.

  • 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 *****!!!!

  • I cannot sync music from iphone 4s to iCloud nor iPhone 5s either

    I have a lot of music in my iPhone 4s.  iTunes only shows the buyed ones.  How can I sync music from 4s to 5s?

    You don't sync from one iphone to another.
    You sync both to your computer.
    All of your music should be on your computer.  If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync to any of your idevices you like.

  • Cannot sync music to iPhone 3GS

    I just bought a new computer & wanted to have my iTunes on the new computer that I downloaded all music to. When I tried to sync my iPhone 3GS to my music it does not work. Can anyone let me know what I might be doing wrong?

    Hi - I did what you suggested. I show all of my 516 songs now from my old computer now on my new lapto iTunes playlists. I select Apply & then sync and only about 20 songs download to my iPhone. What could I be doing wrong?  Appreciate your help.

  • HT1751 Cannot sync music from iPhone to iTunes

    Loaded iTunes on a brand new laptop and used existing iPhone 5 to transfer all music, apps., etc. to new iTunes program.  Much (not all) of my iPhone music is mysteriously missing from iTunes and does not seem to want to transfer over no matter what I do.  Help.

    These two User Tips should help:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • Itunes cannot sync apps to iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

    when i try and sync my iphone 4s it shows a message saying itues  cannot sync apps to iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

    I am encountering the same problem.  This is a good start but need some guidance:
    1.  How do you get to the iTunes files you mention?
    2.  What specific files do you need?
    3.  Will I lose any data?
    Thanks for any help. 
    1) The files are in the iTunes folder. The iTunes folder is in your Music folder which is in your home folder (user).
    So go to <user home>/Music/iTunes.
    2) Any files that end with .xml, .itl, or itdb. Please note that I had upgraded iTunes many times over the years and had several obsolete versions of those files in my iTunes folder. By moving them out and forcing iTunes to create new ones (see steps 3 & 4 above), I was able to determine which ones iTunes actually needed. Those were the files that I copied back into the iTunes folder, overlaying the new empty files.
    3) Always make backups before you try tricks like this. I would recommend backing up your entire iTunes folder. I did not experience any data loss. Those files seem to contain your iTunes library information but not the actual music, movies, etc. When I started iTunes in step 3 (see above), iTunes showed an empty library. After performing step 4 (see above), I started iTunes again and it showed all my music, movies, etc. So I assume that the actual media files are stored elsewhere. Again, always make backups before trying something like this. I use Time Machine.
    Good luck. Let us know what happens.

  • HT1296 I cannot sync music from computer to iPad 2 but podcasts and books have synched

    Step 1: Turn off iTunes Match on your computer
    (iTunes: store >  Turn off iTunes Match).
    Step 2: Turn off iTunes Match on all your devices
    (iPad: settings > music > iTunes Match [off]).
    (iPhone: settings > music > iTunes Match [off])
    Step 3: Sign off of your iTunes account
    (iTunes: store > sign out)
    Step 4: Disconnect your iPhone and/or iPad if they are connected to your computer. Then reconnect.

  • Cannot sync music to Phone 4.

    Cannot sync music to Phone 4. This is second hand phone given to me recently, but all settings were erased and set up from scratch. I am new to iTunes; I have had no problems syncing to iPad or iPod but cannot copy music to iPhone, presume this should be possible? All music is imported from CD's at present.
    I can see iPhone within iTunes on my PC, and when I select music to sync the status bar at bottom of summary page goes partly blue.  I am trying to sync using cable, have turned off Home Sharing and Wifi sync as advised on other posts.  When I click sync, various stages are run through very quickly at top of screen, but nothing actually copies over. When I did same thing on iPad, I could see each track being copied.
    Getting very frustrated with iTunes, surely it should not be so difficult just to copy over some music?
    Would appreciate any help.

    He wants to keep his friends apps, videos and music while adding his own.
    iPhones sync to 1 computer under 1 iTunes account.
    All apps, video and music are tied to an account.
    To use your iTunes stuff or purchase stuff in the future, you will have to restore wipe your friends stuff off the phone, associate it with your iTunes id.

  • 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.

  • ITunes 11.1 wont sync music to iPhone 4s

    I'm having a problem with getting iTunes to sync music onto my iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1. Tried restarting both devices and it didn't help. Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hey everyone, I have also been having this problem and have finally found a solution that is not quite what anyone else has posted yet.
    I actually haven't seen the "Syncing Music to iphone" since the new ios update so im quite happy..
    Here are the steps that I took to solve:
    1. Turned off auto lock and password on iphone 
    2. After connecting iphone on the summary page the only three boxes I have checked are Automatically sync when iphone is connected, sync only checked songs and videos, manually manage music and videos
    3. Now, click the On this iPhone tab. In the bottom right there are "setting" and "Autofill". Under "Settings" select replace all items when Autofilling. I also arbitrarily selected "reserve 1.12GB for disk use".
    5. Then I clicked "Autofill" and selected Replace Songs.
    6. Lastly I pressed "Sync" while I was still on the "On This iPhone" page.
    7. I was actually about to leave the computer and then I saw something magical..."Syncing Music".....Holy Sh...!!!
    Notes:On the iPhone: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, personal Hotspot and VPN are all disabled. I use PC. I have about 5000 songs. I do not use Match.
    Before today I was also having a disc space issue with a large block of "other". I deleted the music data from my iphone and that fixed that problem, however, the phone was still not syncing the majority (4800 of 5000) songs.
    I do not pay for icloud storage, I have never restored my iphone
    *I also do not have the "Sync Music" box checked under the Music tab, however, simply doing this did not solve the problem

  • Itunes keeps turning on 'sync music' to iphone

    Everytime I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes will by itself toggle on 'sync music'. When I untoggle it and go back and hand add songs to the phone, it starts a sync process again and low and behold the sync music button is toggled on again! And the songs that I've just added by hand are removed from the phone again.
    I recently used the sync to be able to delate some songs that had auto-download to my phone when I upgraded it to iOS7. These songs weren't appearing on the list of music when I hooked my iphone up and I wasn't able to delete them striaght from the phone either. I turned the sync off as soon as I got the songs deleted so I could go back in and add only the small number of songs I wanted to be on my phone. 
    I'm really at wits end at this point. I'd stop plugging the phone into my computer if I could, but its my only means of charging at the moment. Anyone else have this problem?
