HT201401 what is the other catetory when syncing the iphone to itunes
Can anyone tell me what the "other" category is when syncing the phone?
I am talking about the bar across the screen that tells you how much space each category uses.
Data such as iPhone settings, SMS/MMS/iMessages, email including attachments, contact info, calendar events, notes, Safari bookmarks/history/cache, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?
What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.
Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Connected my iphone to itunes yesterday and as I was adding music to my phone itunes got stuck on transfering data and still will not complete. It says at the top "syncing with *** phone (step 5 of 5) waiting for changes to be applied" it will not go past this and will not continue to transfer the music. Not sure what to do?
Thanks!After reading everyone elses "waiting for changes to be applied" questions I did a hard reset on my phone and then re plugged my phone into the computer reopened itunes and it worked perfectly!

'Other' category when syncing. What is in this category?
What makes up 'Other' category when syncing? Why does this category take up over 50% of my usage?
""Other" is just about anything that doesn't not fit into one of the defined categories in iTunes such as Apps, Books, Photos, TV Shows, Movies, etc. It does contain data associated with apps like, Safari history and bookmarks, Notes, text messages, email messages, photos associated with contacts, app cached data and that type of "stuff". It should. It be over 50% of your storage capacity. I have 1.53 GB of "other" on 64GB iPad Air 2 that has about 45GB of storage already taken up.
If the "other" data is that large, something is corrupting the sync. Sometimes you have to restore the iPad as new in order to bring the "other" data in control. Obviously you don't want to get rid of all of it because it is data that you need.
Read Kappy's very good User Tip about "other" and what to do about it.

Issue: I synced my iphone with itunes, I then deleted many songs from the iphone, when I sync to itunes again is there any way to have itunes duplicate what it sees on the iphone rather than the other way around?
so, if I delete all music on itunes then connect my iphone all my music on the iphone will then be deleted?

when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?
I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me a warning that I don't have enough memory and yet the status bar at the bottom says that I do and I know that I have enough memory. What's the problem? It happens with the ipods and ipad as well!!!
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

when syncing my iphone with my Outlook calendar, a few days appointments didn't show in my iphone calendar, but other days did. The appointments show in my outlook calendar. I have done this many times, and this is the first time I have had this kind of trouble. Any idea what has caused these appointments to not show?
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated. When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook. My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information. Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events.
hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same.. -
What does error -4 mean when syncing?
What does error -4 mean when syncing between the iPad in iTunes on a MacBook Pro?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music and pics? And keep them synced up as I purchase more?
Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

I have imported a new CD into my iTunes library on my PC. When I sync my iPhone with iTunes (on my pc), I don't get the new songs (or new CD). I have them on my PC but not on my iPhone. This just started to act this way. It was working in January 2013.
Read this on how to do that https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
