I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library!

I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library and when i click "sync selected playlists" it tells me i have 501 songs when i know those playlists only contain 120 max! When i untick the playlists the number of songs doesn't change. Nor does it change when i re click the playlists i want! Surely if i do not tick any playlists i'm choosing not to sync any songs? My 16GB phone keeps telling me my interal storage is full. I seem to constantly be backing up and then deleting photos to make room. I have 5.02 GB take up by "other" can anyone tell me what this is? TIA

Hi Rennagade,
If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer in iTunes, even after you have already done so, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:

  • Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

    So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
    I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
    "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
    they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
    thanks

    No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library.  iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
    The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

  • HT1386 I am trying to sync my iphone with my laptop using itunes.  Items that I enter on my laptop (Windows Outlook) show up on my iphone.  But items that I enter on iphone do not show up in Outlook.  How do I fix this?

    I purchased an iphone 4 in July 2012.  I set it up to synch with Windows Outlook on my 2009 HP laptop computer (Windows 7).  This seemed to work fine.
    A few weeks ago, I was notified that my itunes or iphone software needed updating.  With my iphone plugged into my computer, I performed the update.  When it was over, I had an error message on my iphone indicating that it needed to be reset.  I did this and there was no information on my iphone.  I then synched with the laptop and everything appeared to be restored.
    HOWEVER, now when I synch, items that I enter on my laptop show up on my iphone BUT items that I enter on my iphone do NOT show up on my laptop.  How do I fix this?

    All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but  over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

    I'm trying to sync my iPhone with my iTunes account, but they are on two different emails, help!

    I really don't know what this means.
    What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
    Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail?  and for what reason?
    Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
    Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
    You have music on your computer?  You want that music on your iphone?

  • TS1474 I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. All my purchased songs were replaced with what was on my computer which was nothing. How can i get them back onto my phone or computer?

    Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

  • PleaHi, se help, ive just tried to sync my Iphone with my PC and it wouldnt allow me to for some reason. I disconnected and just tried to play some of my music from my Iphone and loads of my playlists have completely vanished, im gutted.

    HI, PLEASE HELP I'VE JUST TRIED TO SYNC MY IPHONE WITH MY PC, IT WOULD'NT ALLOW ME, LATER WHEN I DISCONNECTED AND TRIED TO PLAY SOME MUSIC THROUGH MY PHONE ALMOST ALL MY MUSIC HAS GONE PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes

    My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes using a new user account on my PC. Nothing is syncing, but iTunes keeps telling me it has synced. My ulitmate goal is to backup contacts, etc. before updating the phone's software.

    You need to use the same Apple ID you used when you synced your contacts intitially.
    That kind of data cannot be transferred to another account nor can accounts be merged.

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

  • I cannot move music from my itunes library to my iphone after an update

    Hi
    I recently updated my iphone 3GS and now I cannot move any music from my itunes library to my iphone. I have also had to sync my iphone with my laptop as my PC that I used before no longer works.

    Connect the phone to your computer
    Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
    Click once on it in that list
    Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

  • Why i can't load music from my iTunes library to my synced iPod touch

    Why can't I load music from itunes library to synced ipod touch

    " I have no idea what you're talking about my phone being hacked."
    I explained:  "Your iphone must be hacked as you cannot copy from finder on a legit iphone."
    "I used to be able to drag music FROM THE ITUNES LIBRARY to THE IPHONE. Now I can no longer do that"
    Again, I explained: "you would check the manually manage music box of you wanted to drag and drop."
    Do you have the manually manage music box checked?
