HT1386 i am having a problem w/iTunes and iPhone.

when i hook my iPhone up to my laptop it opens up iTunes. after it gets through syncing i click the arrow by my phone and look under the music. it says i have 465 songs, but on my iPhone i have 365. the songs that i have on my iPhone are correct but iTunes are getting it wrong. i looked at it and the same song is on there twice and maybe more. i can not delete it because it won't let me and i dont know what else to do. and in my library it only says 105 songs, how do i put the songs from my iPhone onto my library? i have tried talking to a iTunes person and he really didn't help me just gave me different articles. can someone tell me what to do so that  when i do hook my iPhone up to my laptop and it opens iTunes that the song amount is the same on my iPhone and iTunes.

What you will want to do is recreate your iTunes library
Close iTunes
Navigate to your Music folder- click on the iTunes folder inside - you should a iTunes Library.xml, and a ITuneslibrary.LIB - Drag both to desktop
Re-Open iTunes -Click File- Add folder to library- Re-add your music folder.
Now connect your phone
Click on iPhone under devices.
Click Music tab above phone in middle of the screen.
Uncheck sync music -remove - apply
Recheck sync music-
Check device it should be accurate now

  • Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

    Hello All!
    I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
    I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
    I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

    So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
    Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
    As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will.  This is how iOS upgrades work.  The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
    All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
    Close iTunes
    Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
    While holding SHIFT launch iTunes.  iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one.  Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

  • Problems with iTunes and iPhone after PC rebuild...

    Greetings all,
    Recently, I had to rebuild my PC after a RAID adapter change wiped my array. I reloaded iTunes and went through "authorizing the computer" but it will not allow me to move my apps from my 3G to the itunes. If I enable the sync flag it says it will blow all the apps away on the phone.
    I got this for each application from the iphone configuration console:

  • Problem with itunes and iphone

    Hello,
    Well, I have a problem: A few days ago I upgraded iTunes to the latest version, and since then the program has stopped me in August to sync with your phone. That is, it performs the synchronization process, but does it very quickly and not make any changes on your phone if it comes to music, programs or films. The program itself and its components odinstalowywałem and I installed again, but it did not give anything, I tried also with an older version and also the problem repeats August. Do you have any idea what is wrong and how to make itunes work properly again?
    Yours.

    Thanks for you help. It worked!

  • Problem with itunes and iphone 3g

    I was trying to upgrade my phone to the next level so I could use icloud with it because I plan to get an iphone 5 and wanted to be able to have all my stuff on the new phone. When I tried to upgrade the phone a message pops up on the home computer and said if I continue the phone will lose all media? I had previously unsynced all photo albums except the camera roll. Now it will not even sync. It said I cannot back up to my computer. When I look at the itunes account it shows photos filling it almost completely. I have a c and d drive on my computer. I moved all the photos from c to d trying to make space and it didnt help.

  • Problem with itunes and iPhone 3GS

    I upgrade to 4.3 and my itunes dont recover the backup, dont sync anymore with my iPhone. I need to use a mac from my friend to go back to apple first configuration, and copy the backup to the mac, and then recover with the backup.It work. But my note (Sony vaio 4GB w7 64 bit) don't sync or do a new backup, always crash or the message making backup still for ever. I use avg free edition(anti-virus), and zone alarm (firewall). Can anywone help me?

    Probably the music collection is corrupted on your iPhone (in that case you should see a lot of memory used for "other" on the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Check the settings in iTunes; Reset the iPhone: Hold Home and Sleep/Wake button at the same time, ignore the shutdown slider, keep holding until you see the white Apple Logo (you do not loose any data); Sync again.

  • Problems with iTunes and iPhone 5

    Hi folks... just got an iPhone 5.  Initial connection with iTunes worked fine but after that, nothing.  I worked through the online troubleshooter and am about to uninstall and reinstall iTunes although it says that's usually not required.  Before I tackle that does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You have to be cautious about syncing with more than one computer but it is possible.  Check this knowledge base article about syncing for more info.  Note the use of Manual Syncing...that looks like the best approach to avoid tying the new iPhone to the computer.

  • Multiple problems with iTunes and iPhone Music

    ok... so no one tell me to check and uncheck sync all, blah blah blah... I have done everything in every combination.  I have disabled the "Show All Music" slider on my iPhone... I do not use the cloud for music, nor do I use iTunes Match.
    It first started with my music app on the iPhone just darting from song to song, none of them playing except for a few random ones every now and then.
    I unsynced my music from the iphone and resynced, which worked - but now I have over 1000 duplicates on my iPhone that are NOT in my iTunes.
    When going back to unsync all songs, I am still left with over 1400 songs on my iphone "about" screen, yet iTunes says that there are no songs on the iPhone under "on this iPhone"
    I am truly at my wits' end here.  And from the looks of it, Apple has really screwed the pooch on this one.
    Does anyone have any suggestions at all???  Will update as I continue to work on this mess.
    -Matt

  • Itunes and iphone(the old one!)

    hi there, i see from forums that there has been a lot of relationship problems with itunes and iphone. Mines is a wee bit different.
    I've purchased loads of songs on the itunes store through my iphone before and has only stopped working recently. The green box which usually says 'buy now' has disappeared and the songs all say they last for 0:00 minutes. I've tried syncing my iphone on the computer and signing out of my itunes account and signing back in again(while the iphone has been connected to itunes) but it's still not working!
    i thought i'd try purchasing from the itunes store on the computer to see if it works there and it does. It's only from my iphone that it doesn't.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks! xxxxx

    yea, i just tried that but it's still not working. i've realised now though that it won't let me play the songs, you know just to hear the snippet bit, so that's probably why they all say 0:00 mins. i'll have another foodle about with it and see but if you come up with any other ideas, i'd love to hear them!
    thanks! xxxx
