I cant sync my library to my iphone

I have too much music on my iphone.  I have de-selected all the songs I want to remove, and when I connect my iphone to my computer and sync with 'sync only ticked songs & videos' selected, the unwanted songs still remain on my phone.  when I select to view music on my iphone, some of it has gone on from the list, but it is all still there on my phone.  I have completely wiped my phone, and restored it and started the whole process again, but still I cant get rid of the music.  Im sure it must be a setting on my phone somewhere????
I've spent hours trying allsorts of different things - please can anybody help?  Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You don't need to delete the old library, but it will take a little effort to transfer the allegiance of the device to your new one.
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • ( -50 ) error ... cant sync entire library but only few songs HELP!!!

    I could only sync 10 songs out of 800 to my ipod, this -50 error comes up, as well as the "disk could not be read or written to error". Here is a screenshot with my digi cam:
    Could this be an HD problem with my iPod? I tried syncing my library from my other ipod, but when I drag it to the ipod, its so slow in updating...and then the error would come up. Right now, I only have 10 songs on my iPod, certain songs would get on, the rest would just not go on.
    Anyone know what this -50 error is and know how to fix it?

    Check out this article on the KBase:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304820
    If restoring the iPod doesn't resolve the issue then you can try deleting the file that iTunes is currently transferring when the error occurs. The file could possibly be corrupted.

  • Syncing photo library with my iphone and ipad?

    My photo library is no longer syncing with my iphone and ipad (via my MacBook Pro).
    When I'm in iTunes and trying to sync, I've selected "snyc with iPhoto" and also "sync with iPad" but it doesnt work.
    I've tried deleting the "iPod cache" but still no luck.
    Any ideas what I need to do?
    Thank you

    Anybody got any ideas on this?  Still not resolved it.
    Many thanks.

  • I cant sync downloaded music to my iphone, itunes stuck at waiting for changes to be applied

    I have a iPhone 4s ios 7.0.4 and i download some mp3 songs from mp3skull.com, but when i try to sync them to my iPhone from itunes it gets stuck at waiting for changes to be applied. and the songs wont sync. PLEASE HELP

    I have had this problem and I hope this works (it did for me and I also had an iPhone 4S - 7.1.2)
    1) Plug your iPhone in to iTunes.
    2) If it automatically starts syncing click the 'X' to cancel the sync as quickly as you can.
    3) Once the Sync has cancelled, navigate to:
    'File' > 'Devices' > 'Transfer purchases from "_______ iPhone"
    4) Wait for Purchases to transfer.
    5) Update Apps on iTunes.
    6) Wait for that to finish.
    7) Try and Sync again.
    8) This time it should work.
    ----CONTINUE READING IF THIS DOESN'T WORK----
    9) Click 'Restore iPhone'
    10) Let iPhone restore (could take 20 minutes)
    11) Set up as a 'New iPhone' and sync your music.
    ----OTHER THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOU RESTORE----
    1) Is your iPhone running the latest software version?
    2) Is your iTunes running the latest software version?
    3) Are your songs in an unsupported File format?
    4) Are your songs corrupted?
    5) Have you transferred purchases and updated all apps on iTunes?
    -----OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO-----
    1) Re-install iTunes (could work - probably won't but you can give it a try)
    2) Delete all music off phone (again probably won't work but you could give it a try)
    3) Re-start your phone by holding the 'Home/Touch ID' button and the lock button at the same time and hold until the Apple logo appears.
    ----NOTES-----
    Since updating to iOS 8 and iTunes 12 I haven't had this problem.  You might want to update to iOS 8.1 and iTunes 12 - this could solve the problem too.
         Thanks

    I recently was given a new dells windows 7 laptop. I then was able to successfully move my itunes library from my old mac to my new dell. Now I am trying to sync my whole library of music back onto my iphone 4, but when I try it says most of my music can not be located. I have exclimation points next to the majority of my music (I have 368 songs in my itunes acount). Please help me be able to sync my songs to my iphone. I am only able to sync about 31 of my songs.

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.

  • Cant sync iPod touch.  comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)."  I am so confused.  I have more than enough space even on PC.

    hey i had my iphone synced to my laptop then i formated the laptop , now i cant sync it back . please helppp

    What do you mean you can't sync it back?
    Media syncs one way. Computer>Phone, with the exception of purchased items.
    File>Transfer purchases in iTunes. You're going to have to set it up as a new device then sync everything back from your iTunes library.  You did backup your laptop before you formatted it, right?

    Correct.
    Photos are not in iTunes library.
    iTunes simply sync photos from folder or albums to the iPhone.
    You use Windows system software to import them from iPhone to computer.
