IPhone 3G music wont sync iTunes closes

Ever since I updated my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.2.1 I cannot sync any of my music. My apps all sync but as soon as iTunes begins to sync music I get the message "iTunes has encountered a problem and has to close", and then sure enough it closes. Anyone have any information on this problem?

Okay so here is the latest. After the apple support line asked me to restore the iphone once more time I got a message telling me that the SIM card could not be read. Once that message popped up the apple rep told me to go to the AT&T store and get a new SIM card. I got a new card and still no sync. I created another account on my Mac as suggested above and immediately it asked me to register my iPhone. The problem is that all my data is not in that new profile but know I know that it must be some preference that is not allowing me to sync. Ive deleted all the plist files I have found associated with iTunes but no luck. Is there a iphone plist? Any ideas out there?

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    My iPhone 5 can't sync iTunes.

    Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
    What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

  • New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
    If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • My music wont sync music to my ipod due to multiple libraries

    My music wont sync to my ipod because of mmusic i've gotten on different computers
    please help

    Solutions that I can think of (if I understand correctly)
    A.)Check "manually manage music" and then drag the songs you want onto your iPod.
    PROBLEMS: If you use this you will have to manually eject your iPod every time you connect it. If you don't know what I mean, DO NOT check "manually manage music" Also, when you rate things on your iPod with this option on, the ratings will not transfer to the computer, and the rated songs will not move in/out of smart playlists on your iPod. Last, you will obviously have to manually manage your music.
    B.)Copy all music to one computer.
    PROBLEMS:This will eat up space on your hard drive. Also, if you have used up all of the computers that you are allowed to play your music on, you will not be able to play them.
    If this was not what you were asking, I'm sorry, I put what I understood.

  • I have music on my computer that i am trying to put on my iphone but it wont sync

    i have my iphone but it wont let me download off of my macbook

    You may need to update your computer software.
    iTunes should be version 11
    The phone should be on version 7
    Have you synced with this computer before?
    Connect via cable
    Select "show column browser"
    Select the phone from the left column
    Select music to sync with check marks
    Check the box on top that says sync music.
    Click apply

  • Music wont sync ios7 - iphone 4S

    I have the latest version of iTunes & iOS7.0.2 on my iPhone 4S.
    iTunes shows 'Step 5 of 5' waiting for changes to be applied, but never moves on.
    I tried to add some new songs to my phone and now all my songs wont play on the device. They work fine in iTunes on my Macbook.

    Hi dustymcmusty,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

  • Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

    Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
    What can I do?

    If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button.  This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button).  I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

  • Yep, I am still using iphone 3, but email wont sync, itunes wont find it

    But since Feb 18 or so, my iphone 3 cannot add new email accounts, and existing email accounts cannot sync to get new email any more, even when wifi is active.
    Also, my iphone 3 can no longer be recognized by itunes any more.
    Did Apple do some trick to block older iphones, such as mine, to work?

    ok....itunes now recognizes my iphone 3, that was due to a bad connection.
    But still, emails wont sync.  When adding gmail account, after a pause, it will come back and say, Cannot Connect Using SSL (Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?)

  • Music wont sync onto iPhone with ios7 update

    After getting the most recent ios7 update, the music in my itunes library will not sync to my phone. It goes through all 4 steps and then freezes on the "waiting for changes to be applied" step. HELP! Itunes is updates to the 11.1 version, and the iphone shows that I have the audio on my phone on the storage bar, and also when in itunes but the songs are all grayed out and never finished going through the sync process.

    I'm having similar problem, but I do transferred some songs to my iPhone 6, the problem is, many songs just don't get transferred. Check the image attached. The songs in black were transferred, the ones in grey with a little circle were not.
    I checked all the settings and there is nothing I can do. I'm stuck.

  • Help! My Music Wont Sync to my iPhone 5

    I have recently updated my phone to iOS7 but in order to get the update i had to delete some of my music for space. I deleted all my music by accident and it was not backed up. I went home and attempted to get my music from my iTunes library but to my surprise even though i was clicking sync the music still wasn't on my phone. What should I do?

    That message means that the music file was deleted from your computer, it was moved to someplace else on your computer, or you have a defective hard disk on your computer. The iTunes Library file is an index to your music; the actual music is in files on your computer. If a file is deleted or moved the iTunes Library won't "know" it until you try to play or sync the track.
