IPhone 4 will not sync music after resetting and upgrading to 6.1.3

When I upgraded my iPhone to 6,1,3, an error message came up telling me to reset my iPhone. With the backup it went fine until I yesterday decided to listen to some of my 4400 songs. All the music is gone. I have had iPhone, iPad and iPod since they came on the market, and I have used Apple for some 25 years. I have neveer experienced this problem. I have checked all the settings both on my MBP (with all the latest software) and on my iPhone. Everything looks normal. There is about 25Gb available space on the iPhone.It goes through the stages of syncing, but skps the music. I could try resetting it again, but just incase the problem is a setting I have overlooked, I am asking all of you out there who have experienced this problem earlier and found a solution.

This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

  • IPhone 5 will not sync music after restore

    I just restored my iPhone 5 because I was having a problem with all the data on the phone saying it was in the "Other" category when I was on the summary tab. So I got the backup and everything synced except my music. I've literally tried just about eveything to synce the music. I tried syncing it wirelessly but it won't even connect to my computer. Also the problem with all the data being displayed under the "Other" category is still a problem. Any help?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

  • HT1351 My iPhone 5 will not sync music after I updated to the new iOS7. The message "waiting for changes to be applied" remains on the screen. I have restored my iPhone and reset it and nothing seems to be working.

    I even have the updated version of iTunes and I am not sure what else I am supposed to do.

    Yes, I have the exact same problem with my 4s! Updated to iOS 7 and can't sync. It's extremely frustrating, as music is crucial in my daily life.  I was able to remove all songs from my iPhone...and now when I try to sync the 4,000 or so I've selected, it will sync maybe 11 or 12 (if it gets past the "Waiting for changes to be applied" screen), and then just completely stop. No error code or anything. It just stops. It's driving me crazy.  See the following 2 links, one is a discussion I created and the 2nd is 5 or so people with the same issue.

  • IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4  either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.

  • My iphone 4 will not sync or back up and it is asking me to restore.

    My iphone 4 will not sync or back up and it is asking me to restore.
    I just figured out that it hasn't been backing up on the cloud like I thought either.... so it hasn't backed up anything to my computer since April and I have no idea the last time it backed up in the cloud.
    Will this delete everything on my phone? How can I fix this without losing anything? I am mainly worried about my contacts.
    Also - this was happending before I installed 6... I installed 6 hoping it would fix it... not so much.

    This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.

  • My iphone 5 will not sync music

    My iphone 5 will not sync the music i have selected. It shows the songs that should be added in gray when I look at the 'on this iphone' tab but when I attempt to sync the phone nothing is added. This is ridiculous. These phones cost a ton of money and you dont even have software that works with them. I have had iphones and and ipods for many years and have never had the kind of problems i have experienced recently. I also recently reformatted my ipod to PC and it wont copy my music over either. What is going on?

  • My iphone 4s will not sync music or playlists

    after installing the most recent update, my phone will not sync any playlists or music to my phone.  All I have are the icloud songs but can't add any music that i have that are not purchased or any playlists.  Is there a solution or do I revert back to an old iOS?

    I've got this problem too. I have loads of apple devices and each has a different playlist. I add new tracks to the iphone 4s playlist but when I sync nothing transfers to the phone. When I start the sync the bar indicating available space shifts to indicate that less space will be available but when the sync finishes no tracks have transferred and the available space has gone back to what it was before.
    Also noticed that the space taken up by "Other" has dimished to zero.
    I've reset the iphone to no avail.
    This seemed to happen at the same time as podcasts started coming up as unavailable.

  • Iphone 4S will not sync music

    I just bought a new phone and it will not sync current music from the library. I have tried the basics, but nothing is working.

    Hi Samuel6495,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your music does not sync after updating your software, first retart your iPhone if you haven't already:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Next, 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.

  • IPod Touch (4th gen) will not sync music after the latest iTunes update

    I'm using iTunes on a PC with Windows 7 and after the latest update (iTunes 11.2.2), it will not sync with my iPod touch 4 (also updated to the latest possible version - iOS 6.1.6).
    Before the update there was no problem with the sync. And this iPod has always been synced only with this computer, and this iTunes library.
    After the iTunes update, several songs on my iPod were greyed out and unplayable (the library plays fine in iTunes).
    Now, when I try to sync, iTunes goes through all the steps, saying it finished syncing, without any error message but there is no actual change on the iPod.
    I've tried deleting all the music on the iPod, to resync the entire music library anew.
    Again, iTunes went through all the steps, finished "syncing" and nothing - and, of course, all the music on my iPod is now missing.
    When I check the "On this iPod" option in iTunes, the entire song list shows up there but appears greyed out and unplayable.
    On the actual iPod device, there is absolutely nothing in the Music app - no songs, no playlists.
    The iPod always shows "no data" in the Music app.
    Sometimes iTunes shows that I have 18GB of music on the device, sometimes it shows 0GB ...at one point it showed "no space available". But it has plenty of space - 23.5 GB of available space out of 32GB.
    To fix this I've tried the following:
    - automatic sync, manual sync, manually adding/deleting songs on the iPod, autofilling and replacing songs;
    - resetting my iPod by holding the (on/off and home buttons) and resetting through the "reset all settings" option on my iPod;
    - reset and restore from backup;
    - uninstalled and re-installed iTunes on my PC.
    - I've run the diagnostics tool in iTunes - all tests passed;
    ...plus various other suggested solutions I have found in the similar topics around here.
    (I've checked and there are no restrictions to the songs, the computer is authorized, etc.)
    Absolutely nothing works and it is very frustrating, as I usually only use the iPod for the music.
    Please help.
    Violet

  • IPhone will not sync music, movies etc since upgrading to Mavericks...

    Upgrade to Mavericks on Tuesday.  I also upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7 7.0.3.  Since this time iTunes will not sync my music movies or TV shows to my iPhone five. I have tried everything  can't find a solution. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Well...last night, I thought I had it all figured out. I had several successful syncs after I used the method in my post above. Even when making changes to playlists, everything synched successfully every time.
    Tonight, however, it's back to the same crap. Hanging on "Waiting for changes..." and no changes being made. Sometimes iTunes crashes in the process.
    The only thing that seems to complete correctly is the backup, as it logs it correctly under "Latest Backup"...but ****, who knows if THAT'S even working right.
    Really frustrated, Apple. And yes...I've sent detailed iTunes feedback here and via the error box that pops up when iTunes crashes.

  • IPhone 5 Will not sync music

    I am not having a problem syncing my music to my iPhone 5 from a restore.  I was originally having the issue of "itunes failed to synce iphone" and then would quit so I reset my iPhone and restored it from my backup.  The sync had been failing since Oct 28th which was my last wifi itunes sync.  Now after a restore I have all of my apps back where they should be but there is no music.  iTunes sometimes shows music on the phone in the capacity section, but then sometimes goes away.  I have 7.1GB of Other showing on the phone now with nothing else.  I am running iTunes 10.7, iOS 6.0.1. AT&T, and syncing to a 2010 Mac Mini.  Seems to be a software issue with iTunes or my iPhone, but music will not sycne regardless of restoring, reseting, or toggling on/off various sync options in music/general.  Any ideas or should I head into a store and get a new iPhone 5?  Everything used to work perfect with my iPhone 5 prior to the 6.0.1 update, aside from the items that update fixed like the app store keyboard issue.

  • IPhone 4.S not syncing music after iOS upgrade.

    After upgrading to the latest iOS, neither of my iPhones will sync music from iTunes.  When I synced, I lost all of my music on my iPhone.  I still see everything in iTunes, but it does not sync any music to the iPhone and what was there was delete.

    This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up.
