I tried syncing music to iphone 4s but won't show up under artist

I put an album under each song but it still did not come up under the artist. In my music on my phone it comes up under songs but I just wanted it under artist because no one searches through individual songs. I checked all the boxes and sync'd 30 times, even when i hit sync my phone doesn't even say sync in progress. this is happening with multiple artists, only been a problem since updating to ios5 and new iphone 4s.

Don't start deleting iCloud accounts. Do this first.
Check that both devices are using the same account (i.e. Apple ID) under Settings > iCloud.
Make sure that 'Calendars' is turned on in both devices in Settings > iCloud.
Check to make sure that the event you are creating is an iCloud Calendar event, and not associated to another email account.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars on both devices. Make sure the default calendar is the iCloud one, and also make sure that 'Sync Events' is set to 'All Events'.
Go to the Calendar app, tap on 'Calendars', and make sure that ALL calendars are being displayed.
On a computer (not an iPhone or iPad), go to www.icloud.com, and log in with your Apple ID & password. Check the Calendar to see if the events are showing there.

My ipod wont sync music from my computer but somtimes it shows up that the music is on it but when i look on my ipod there is only one song

My ipod wont sync music from my computer but sometimes it says in the summary that music is on it but when i look on my ipod there is only one song.

its a ipod touch 4g

Updated my osx and now iphone charges but won't show up

I've tried restarting my iphone, restarting the computer, itunes, reloading itunes. I have itunes 9.0.2 (or whatever the latest is) Mac OS X 10.5.8, an iPhone 3gs with 3.0.1- and have tried with two usb cords and ports both of which are part of my macbook pro.
The iPhone charges when plugged into the computer, but is not recognized in iPhoto or iTunes. It's not jailbroken, or hacked or anything.

ended up having to reinstall itunes via parallels and get my phone recognized there, and then suddenly it worked in the mac os.
Sounds like parallels could be interfering. Have you made sure you have the latest updates for parallels? You could always uninstall parallels to test if this is causing the problem.

HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician. At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder. All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again. I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS. What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems? Reboot! It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer. I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

I have an Ipad 2 and an Iphone 4s. I can sync musics to the iPad, but not to the iPhone. Am I doing something wrong?

Here's the thing:
I first bought an iPad 2, it works fine with the iTunes. But since i bough my iPhone 4s, i've been able to sync, books, documents and even the apps, but not the musics. It's strange because with the iPad i sync musics all the time, but for some reason my iPhone doesn't sync musics.
Does anyone knows what to do?
Thanks!

When you are directed back to the setup screen, are you able to enter any information at all? If you can, does it let you move on to the next screen? Can you do anything at all? Details, please.

I am trying to backup my iphone 4s but it is saying I haven't got enough storage. I don't have any music and 1000 photos so not a lot being used??? help

iCloud backups only give you 5GB free if your backup is larger then 5GB then you need to purchased more storage.

Try deleting the iPod Photos Cache folder. There may be more than one. For its location see:
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
Also, go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and make sure syncing photos is unchecked.

Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
plenty of available space on brand new phone
IOS 7.0.4
itunes 11.1.3.8

After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

Problems syncing music to iPhone 3G since 3.1.1 update

After I updated the iPhone with 3.1.1 it froze. I had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, then restore the iPhone. The phone is up an running now. All of my contacts and notes are there, but some of my apps are missing, and my music is gone. I've tried syncing my phone with iTunes, but it's not working.
When I connect my phone to my MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.8), iPhoto automatically comes up and syncs normally, but I have to open iTunes manually. iTunes detects the phone once I've opened it, and it syncs for a few seconds, but then my phone disappears from Devices. The phone continues to display "Sync in Progress" but it's not doing anything. It continues to display that message until I end up having to cancel sync on my phone.
I called support, and they say it is a phone issue, not an iTunes issue. I don't know, because I don't have the same issue with iPhoto.
Does anyone know what's going on and how this issue can be resolved?
Thanks!

Is there an iPod photo cache named folder in the folder of photos you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone?

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

ITunes 11.1 wont sync music to iPhone 4s

I'm having a problem with getting iTunes to sync music onto my iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1. Tried restarting both devices and it didn't help. Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
J_Workman

Hey everyone, I have also been having this problem and have finally found a solution that is not quite what anyone else has posted yet.
I actually haven't seen the "Syncing Music to iphone" since the new ios update so im quite happy..
Here are the steps that I took to solve:
1. Turned off auto lock and password on iphone
2. After connecting iphone on the summary page the only three boxes I have checked are Automatically sync when iphone is connected, sync only checked songs and videos, manually manage music and videos
3. Now, click the On this iPhone tab. In the bottom right there are "setting" and "Autofill". Under "Settings" select replace all items when Autofilling. I also arbitrarily selected "reserve 1.12GB for disk use".
5. Then I clicked "Autofill" and selected Replace Songs.
6. Lastly I pressed "Sync" while I was still on the "On This iPhone" page.
7. I was actually about to leave the computer and then I saw something magical..."Syncing Music".....Holy Sh...!!!
Notes:On the iPhone: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, personal Hotspot and VPN are all disabled. I use PC. I have about 5000 songs. I do not use Match.
Before today I was also having a disc space issue with a large block of "other". I deleted the music data from my iphone and that fixed that problem, however, the phone was still not syncing the majority (4800 of 5000) songs.
I do not pay for icloud storage, I have never restored my iphone
*I also do not have the "Sync Music" box checked under the Music tab, however, simply doing this did not solve the problem

Itunes keeps turning on 'sync music' to iphone

Everytime I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes will by itself toggle on 'sync music'. When I untoggle it and go back and hand add songs to the phone, it starts a sync process again and low and behold the sync music button is toggled on again! And the songs that I've just added by hand are removed from the phone again.
I recently used the sync to be able to delate some songs that had auto-download to my phone when I upgraded it to iOS7. These songs weren't appearing on the list of music when I hooked my iphone up and I wasn't able to delete them striaght from the phone either. I turned the sync off as soon as I got the songs deleted so I could go back in and add only the small number of songs I wanted to be on my phone.
I'm really at wits end at this point. I'd stop plugging the phone into my computer if I could, but its my only means of charging at the moment. Anyone else have this problem?

HT4623 I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Unable to sync music with iphone 5. can some one pl assist ?

I have tried everything to sync music with iphone 5 withut success. any ideas ?? what could be the problem ?

First of all, read my post to OP
     You can only sync music via computer iTunes.
     Watch this iPod video, it's the same for iPhone.
Your Post
     Not true. You CAN sync music via Wifi.
Did I mention anything about cable? So what is not true?

What about that?
To do that you also first have to connect using a cable to set it up in computer iTunes.
