Ios7 music sync problems for iPhone 4S

Like many other folks I made the huge mistake of updating (NOT upgrading) to io7, in my case 7.0.4, then trying to sync musci from iTunes. I first upgraded (ha!) to iTunes 11.1.3, then found I was lost in the 'waiting for changes' zone. I've now been working on this problem for hours, along with a host of other ios7-related changes (e.g. the inability to limit the number of gmail messages ported into active memory). I've tried most of the fixes others have listed [remove all sync flags, rebuild playlist, clean out chinese characters, etc.] and finally got one sync to make it through the 'veil', but subsequent syncs now get stuck as well. I have not tried a full restore and really don't want to go down that path. This is pathetic, and the total cone of Apple silence about this issue makes you wonder where their customer focus disappeared to. Any other ideas?

This is a user to user forum, there is no Apple here.

Sync problem on iPhone4 IOS5 and iTunes 10.5: Sync service failed to start

After painful upgrade to IOS 5.0 on my iPone 4 which suffer from er 3014 unt I do full restore in other computer. Now two new problems cropped up again:
A.
When I sync IPhone with iTunes, the sync process started and freeze at "waing f sync service to start" and for 5 minutes or so, it end up with a dialog stated that the iPhone could not be synced because sync service failed to start
To remedy, I have to click t start Sync again, and thios time, it will be completed.
To solve tjhis, I have done the following, and the probelm still persist:
a. Reinstal,l to repair iTunes
b. Delete the Lockup folder
c. Reset sync history
d. reboot iPhone
All cannot solve the problem. Help please, how to solve this problem?
Also, when I backup my iPhone, it freeze at "Backing up iPhone" fr about 10-15 minutes, then start backup, until nearly finished, then it restart backup process again by itself, and again, freezing at "Backing up iPhone" for another 5 minutes, then it start backup and complete. I check the backup time in Preferences, it's correct.
To solve this, I delete the backup, and start new backup, the process went OK. But when I start backup again, the above symptom (backing up, and restart backup again to complete) persist
I have quite a rough experiences with iTunes-iPhone-iPad sync and backup all the times. Can the sync and backup process mad better and real trouble free Apple?
Help and suggestion please. I sync iPhone and iPad2 with WIndow XP PC. iPad2 do not have problem. The problem is with iPhone4 IOS 5 32 GB (less than 2 GB free space on iPhone remains)

I have very similar problems with my brand new iPhone and iTunes. iTunes is virtually unusable even after multiple installs, uniinstalls, and reinstalls. Sync fails silently. Drop-down menus won't stay visible long enough to click any options. Phone-support blames it on the fact that I use Windows XP however the iTunes page says right there: "iTunes 10.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7". The only program I have problems with is iTunes.
He said I have to revert to iOS 4 but he also said he thought that was impossible. What does the OS on my phone have to do with the behavior of iTunes running on my computer? iTunes crashed and had failures both before and after I updated to iOS 5. Typical bad tech support just like every other company. I thought Apple was different. Apple really stepped in it this time and it stinks. I've seen a huge number of new problem reports here and elsewhere.

IPhone 4 iOS5 sync problem

I recently installed iOS5 and so far everything has worked as described albeit a little slower, however I have an issue with the sync. The phone tells me after the completed sync that
"37 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information".
When I look to iTunes for answers there is no indication of what the problem is. I am guessing it is music because the tunes in my library on the phone are not playing. All that happens is they sit. I know the speakers work because movies and radio play just fine, it is only library music.
Can anyone help? has anyone else experienced this?
cheers,
Troyman

I have exactly the same problem. it took quite awhile to sync music and apps correctly (multiple shut-downs and restarts) and now everything is finally syn'ed - except the artwork is wrong on the iPhone only. iTunes is okay. Waiting for helpful answers myself.

Sync problems between iPhone4 and MBP

I want to copy the Contacts from my iPhone to my MBP and overwrite what is on it, and Contacts not on my iPhone that are on my Mac, I want brought over.
I have:
Two contact lists; on my iPhone4 5.0.1 and MBP 10.7.3
I am using Outlook for Mac 2011
Some contacts are identical on both devices, but my phone has the more current info of contacts, even ones that share the same name on the MBP
When I connect the iPhone via iTunes, the Contacts on both iPhone and MBP sync together, and here is where the problem begins.
The info from the MBP will go to the phone and create duplicates. And the next time I connect via iTunes, it will even create a triplicate on my iPhone! and on and on.
So I want to make the contact list on my iPhone go to my Mac, and whatever is on my Mac and not on my iPhone, to be brought over.
Does anyone know the steps to make it happend this way? I have searched the forums and not finding an answer. Thanks.

I'm not sure there is an easy solution to this but I'll at least give you an idea. I don't think there is any way around having to identify which contacts on your mac are unique (not on the iphone); that's the hard part. Then I would do the following:
I would work with Address Book as that can import and multi-VCF (vCards) than can be exported from the iPhone (more on that in a minute). I assume if you can get the contacts correct in mac Address Book, importing them to Outlook would be a straightforward process (although I don't use Outlook 2011 for mac so I'm not sure)
As a precaution I would start by exporting your mac Address Book contacts for safekeeping. This is done by opening Address Book, click on any contact, select all contacts (command-A or Edit>Select All), then File>Export>Export vCard, save on the desktop.
I would then delete all contacts except the ones unique to Address Book (i.e., not on the iPhone)
Next download the free app My Contacts Backup on your phone (paid version if you have > 500 contacts). This will back up your iPhone contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself and open it on your mac, double-click the attachment to import the contacts to Address Book. Your Address Book contacts should now be the way you want them. (Do not delete the email as you may need it later.)
Now replace the contacts on your iPhone with the contacts in your mac Address Book. As you did before, open Address Book and click on any contact, select all (Command-A), File>Export>Export vCard, save on the desktop with a different filename that the last one.
Open My Contacts Backup on your phone, tap the Settings (gear) icon on the lower right. In the screen that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. (Don't worry, you saved the original email so if anything goes wrong you can use it to re-import them as they are now.)
Open the new email you sent with your mac Address Book contacts, tap the attachment to import them to your iPhone.
You should now have identical contacts on both your iPhone and your mac Address Book, with a merged up to date list.
Not sure how you sync your mac Address Book to Outlook, but I assume that can be done (even if you have to delete your Outlook contacts and import your Address Book ones as a replacement). Hope this helps.

Sync Problems for new ipod user.

Problem syncing my ipod mini. I can get about maybe half a song on my ipod (it is there when I disconnect it from the pc to check) and the itunes errors out saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "ipod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." If I keep hitting the sync button it will start over again and continue uploading songs to the ipod but sure enough after a few min I will get this same error again. I think I have gotten about 3 songs loaded at the most before getting this error. Thanks for any help in advance and I apologize for asking this question and it has been answered previously.

After searching many postings about this very issue I think I have identified the issue. The iPod Control folder is set to read only. I go in as admin and uncheck that, launch iTunes and sure enough I check the folder and it is set back to read only. Any idea here?

IPod Syncing Problem for Album Artwork

So everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch using iTunes,most of the artwork for my albums/songs changes. I've had this happen several times in the past. It seems that many albums take the artwork from one album.

When I try to check the "Display album artwork" box and update my ipod, I get this error message:
The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).

Syncing problems for playlists created from coverting 33 records

My kids recently purchased Deck USB turntable that converts older 33 records into MP3 file format. I successfully converted and loaded to I-tunes. They play inside I-tunes, but are not synced or moved to I-Touch. Help!!

did you get a solution for this issue. I am trying to generate a stub to connect to a webservice i created by exposing my stateless session EJB as a web service, using annotations. I want to create a client stub using the clientgen from weblogic 81. I am unable to do this, do you have any solution to this.

Syncing problem for iPhone

I use iPhone ( Version2) with a Windows 7 computer. earlier I used it on another Windows XP System. Months after the changeover, when I sync my iPhone ( Version 2 ) with outlook, it synced music and calendars successfully. But if I include contacts also for syncing, it just hangs indefinitely. While on the same issue, Apps on my current computer also refuses to sync. What can be the reason ?

Sync Problems for Second Ipod

I bought a 60Gb iPod last year so that I could listen to my music during my 80km round trip to work. It was so successful my wife nicked it ! Bought an 80Gb version yesterday but cannot load my iTunes library to the new kit.
It will part load, the gives the error message "attempting to copy to the disk *** iPod failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
This usually happens after about 2.5GB have downloaded, but on the first attempt 7.4Gb transferred successfully.
What am I doing wrong ? Please help someone !

Hi Capinrage. You should be able to copy the entire content of your wife's 2Gb iPod, let alone one or two tracks !
I found something similar when I started to copy to my new disk. I use a firewire connection for the 60Gb iPod, but can only use USB for the 30Gb model. When I was trying to work out what was wrong, I tried the 60Gb Ipod on the USB connection but iTunes wouldn't recognise it at all. Eventually changed the USB port and that worked so it might be worth trying.

When is Apple going to fix the iTunes 11 syncing problem!!!!

After troubleshooting the iTune 11 upgrade seems to cause syncing problems for everyone. I've tried everything and my ipod will no longer sync. Help! When is Apple going to apply a fix for this?????

My sync problem has been going on since I updated to IOS 8. I have had two telephone help calls and one Genius Bar visit. I am no further forward.
MY iPhone and iPad will randomly fill to capacity with OTHER files requiring a complete reboot. I have disabled iCloud drive and tried reorganising and deleting files from my iTunes library. All of my devices worked almost perfectly prior to this upgrade. I now dread syncing either of my devices to see what latest iTunes problem is now present.
I Have one simple question which no one at Apple has answered. When iTunes finds a file it doesn't like or will not sync why does it not flag it up with the reason for the problem. iTunes has done this for many years with incompatible files and missing album art work. If iTunes could only tell us why it is continually waiting for sync to start or give us a reason for our iOS device suddenly filling to capacity with OTHER files at least we would be able to do our own diagnosis and repairs. Apple need to sort out this issue soon. I'm losing patience and faith in Apple products. So no iPhone 6 upgrade for me till this gets properly sorted.

Sync problems after iTunes Match update

iTunes Match has created an ongoing sync problem for me. If Match updates automatically based on songs I've purchased from the iTunes store, then I usually have no issues with the sync function. However, if I load a CD that is not in the Match library, or if I just manually do an update to Match, it causes my 160gb iPod to take 15-20 minutes to sync. Why is this happening?

I cannot sync my music but I get the message that it is connected but it is not recognised.
As advised on the error message I have reset the Nano and re-installed itunes with the same results.
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Syncing problem over cloud for all my devices

I have severe syncing problems over the cloud with all iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) across ALL my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad2, IPhone4) and even on web: It JUST DOESN'T WORK!!!
Internet works perfectly, Docs sync is set to ON in every device, but since 6 October 2012, syncing was stoped for unknonw reasons.
I tried to find someone to contact for by email, but it was impossible. So I ended up here ...
Can help someone?

For each device, backup first, then on the device use Settings > General > Software Update. Each one still has to download the update individually, but they are smaller files so should download more reliably.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?
