I'm trying to manually sync my music to my iPhone but it needs so much free space
I used to be synced to a different iTunes on a different computer. Now that I have my own laptop with my on music library I'm trying to sync it to my phone. I have to do it manually because I don't have enough space on my phone to sync my entire music library. But every time I try to sync it, it will tell me that it's unable to sync because it needs "at least 3.something more GB of space in order to sync" and every time I unselect an artist it will say it needs more space until I have barely any of my music selected. Why does it need so much free space? Like it requires approx 5GB of free space in order to sync my music and I don't understand why. I've never had this issue before. I even imported all of my pictures to my laptop so I could delete them to make room for my music. Please help me.
Hi there Sarbunn,
You may find the information in the article below helpful if there is not enough free space on your device to sync.
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

why is it when i am trying to syc my music to my iphone but it says i have authorised my laptop...but i have authorised it!
how do i stop this and get my music onto my iphone?If you look at the details of the error message displayed on your computer, iTunes will show you which songs and account(s) have not been authorized on your computer.
Songs from other people's iTunes accounts are usually the culprit. These songs can be added to your iTunes library by file sharing software, or by perhaps by your friends trying to share music with you.
If you don't recognize the iTunes account that purchased the unauthorized songs, you should probably get rid of them or investigate other (probalby not very legal) methods for working around the problem. -
Playlists are not syncing correctly - music loaded on iPhone but not in playlists themselves.
Spent the whole day trying to deal with this iOS5 update on my iPhone 4. It got bricked, I had to restore it, and then couldn't find the most recent backup that I had. So I had to rearrange and re-add all my apps and many photo albums. Anyway, now I'm struggling with my playlists in the iPod/Music app (which I manage manually). in ITunes, I can view my iPhone playlists just fine, play all the songs there, etc. But when I look at the playlists on my iPhone itself most of them are completely empty. Some have some songs in them. If I go to the songs browser instead of playlist browser, however, I see all the songs; including the ones 'missing' from the playlists.
I deleted all my playlists and tried to re-add them to the iPhone. The same thing happens. A playlist will add, and show up completely fine in iTunes under iPhone, but on the iPhone itself the playlists are wrong (empty or missing songs).
Is this a bug? How can I fix this?Having the same issue as well. The 4S is my first iPhone, but I've been using my 3rd Gen Touch since it came out. This is the buggiest iOS I've used and most of my problems are within the Music app.
The playlists on my phone do not match the playlists as they are on in iTunes. I keep having movies show up in my Recently Added playlist despite the "Media Kind is Music" filter on that playlist. I have music with 5 plays showing up on a playlist that excludes any music with over 4 plays.
Another issue I'm having is with creating new playlists. I can create a playlist, name it, and start adding songs to it. But when I try to click Done, it won't let me. I'll click the top left arrow to go back to the main page and it'll let me click Done but then all that songs I've added are gone.
Just a real buggy experience. -
Ive tried and tried but the **** thing wont let me sync all my music, if this continues I will just have to return the iphone.
What kind of card is it ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management -
I've tried multiple things but I just cannot get the sync to start!
At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes. It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time. Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back. -
I tried to sync my music to my iphone but instead my phone has turned into my ipod?!

You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

Any help would be great. I have checked the Manually Manage Music, but when I click on the music to see what is on my iPhone the only option it gives me is to sync it and I don't want to sync it, I can't hold that much music on my phone. I HATE HATE HATE this new stupid itunes and I wish they would get rid of it!!!
Of course you can sync music to the device.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select the Music tab.
Select the content desired to be synced.
Sync.
This is covered in the User's Guide, it might be a good idea for you to read it. -
It doesn't even let me download Empire Total war which is 13gb
First, the App Store will not allow a download that, when expanded, would leave less than the minimum amount of available space on the startup volume that Apple considers necessary, which is about 9 GB. The download is a compressed archive that will usually expand to about twice its size. Both the archive and the expanded files will be present at the same time, so the actual amount of space needed is about three times the size of the archive.
If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test. -
Music on my iphone but not on my mac
ok so i just recently had some major probs with my laptop and had to erase the hard drive. i still have all my music on my iphone but i need to get it all over to my laptop. how can i get these brought over without it erasing music from my iphone
If you're using a Mac you could try Megaphone. This software a gives you direct access to the files on your iPhone.

iPhoneBrowser is a widows app that does something similar.

Use thes at your own risk!!
BTW if you enter the details of your computer in your profile its easier to help. -
Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..
So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful. -
I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....
Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things. You either sync or manually manage.
Manually manage is drag and drop.
Sync is when you select what you want and then sync. -
when trying to manually manage my music and videos on itunes its telling me i am already connected to another itunes library and that if i apply these settings it will delete all of my data and replace it with the current itunes library. will this just delete from the i tunes library or from my i tunes account all together?
Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch? -

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine -
Trying to sync my music to my iPhone music won't sync
I have tried and tried to sync my music to my iPhone. I have selected "sync only selected playlists, artists, and genres" On my phone it states I have 890 songs on iTunes it states I have 764 selected to sync. There are songs on my phone that weren't selected to sync I don't want all my music librarby on my phone just some of it... Why is it not syncing the music I have selected? Why!!! WHY WHY!!!!! So mad!! I have unchecked and removed all music and tried to resync and that didn't work... I have yet to get the latest update as I am scared of all the bugs.... So.... Can someone anyone please help me!!!
How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.
