I have music on my iphone, but Itunes says 'Music - zero items' when iphone connected. How do i manage my songs?
Background info: I have music on my iphone that i would like to change / delete / update manually. Software versions of both itunes and iphone are up to date.
So, in chronological order:
When i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes detects it. Fine. No problem.
I click on the 'on this iphone' tab (where I would expect to see the music i know to have on my iphone)... It says 'Music - zero items'. Hmmmm - i know i have over 1 GB of music on there...
I click on the summary tab for my iphone. 'Manually manage music and videos' is checked. The status bar at the bottom shows i have over 1 GB of 'other' information on my iphone, but no music.
Basically what i'm after is being able to delete and add music from my itunes to my iphone as i see fit. At present i am unable due to the reasons outlined above. Tried contacting Apple direct but providing me with only 140 characters to describe the problem to them is.. well... pretty w@nk.
Any help appreciated- have been scouring the discussion boards but cannot find anything that correlates directly.
Thanks in advance

I have the iPod Touch 3G but iTunes won't recognize it when I connect to my Windows 8 computer
So I have the iPod Touch 3G (5.1.1 version) and I had just recently updated my iTunes library to the 11.1.4 version. Ever since, every time I connect my iPod to my computer (I have Windows 8), my computer recognizes it but my iTunes does not. How can I fix this problem? I really hope this version of iTunes is not compatible with my ancient iPod because I really don't have money to go out and buy a newer iPod. It doesn't have to do with the amount of storage in it because I have the 32GB version and I have 16.8GB available. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I'm trying to sync music and ringtones into my iphone, but itunes says my phone is using a different library and i have to deleate it but i dont to do that, how can i still sync my new stuff?
The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

my new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.
If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Check the account area of the iTunes Store window on the right to check the balance. You must use the credit remaining, no refunds.

i want to sync some apps but itunes says i need to authorise my computer, how do i do this?
Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Also, are you sure you authorized the right account? Could some media be purchased with another account? -
I have changed my email address but itunes on the phone only sees the old address wich is no longer viable?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>To do what, update apps? If that is the case, understand that apps are locked to the Apple ID used to purchase them. It cannot be changed and they cannot be merged to another account. If you are just trying to log into the iTunes store, then sign out first, and then sign in with the new one. Just remember what I said about updating apps.

So yeah here it is:
Iphone - 6 apps need to be updated
Itune stores (pc) - 14 updates availables
But when I click for the 14 updates it says no updates are available.
I dont want to use my photo data to update and 2 of them need are too big and need to be updated by Itunes.
Any solutions?Make sure you are connected to the Internet, also the 6 updates on the iPhone can be updated directly to the iPhone, for large files you will need to be connect to a wi-fi connection.

I have recently pre-ordered 2 albums with 3 gift cards i recieved for christmas. iTunes is not letting me download my 2 albums. I would like to have them in my library since they are already out and purchased.

I have songs that I have either downloaded or ripped from discs that i"Tunes now says they cannot find them. I have not done anything to move them or any thing else. When I go to find them I find a folder but these are empty.
im presuming that you ar ebringing up the artist folder within your music folder somewhere and it doesnt have the songs you want?
if so, the newly downloaded songs might not be in folders yet and could be at the very bottom of the music folder which has all of your artists?
alternatively, you could bring up your start menu and do a search for one of the songs, then right click open containing folder and go from there. -

how do sync a book that I have added as music to itunes on my iMac and then listen to this book on my iPhone. Itunes says the icloud status is waiting so the song(book) is in the process of being matched but has not yet been processed. (no help there)
Hi,
Why are you trying to add a book as music? It will not match as this only applies to music files. It will be uploaded if the bit rate is 96 Kbps or greater.
You should change media type to audiobook and you will be able to sync by wifi or USB.
