Iphone 4s music won't sync

I have an Iphone 4s and I updated it to the last iOS (version 7). I also updated my iTunes to the last version, and I had no problems until a month ago: when I tried to sync new songs, It said "cancelling sync". I looked up through the community and I found that the problem is common, I tried EVERYTHING and yet no solution: restores won't work, resetting the library won't work, restoring from back up won't work. I'm really irritated by this, now I have no music on my iPhone and it's starting to become seriously hard to accept.
Please, can someone help me out here?

I did the restore and restore from backup as per ckuan's instructions and I was able to sync music just fine. I did have to redownload all the apps after restoring from backup, but iCould makes it easy since you can go Purchased within the App Store and download them via iCloud. Even if you did a backup while the problems existed, restore iOS 7 is what matters most, and that's what the restore process will do. I am not sure how it affects saved games and all that, so you might need to consider that first.

IPhone/iTunes music won't sync

I can't get my music to sync to my iPhone. I have iPhone 5 and iTunes version 11 (Everything is updated). I had to delete my music last week to upgrade to iOS 7 because there wasn't enough room on my phone. And now I can't get it to sync back onto the phone. I've tried everything I found in the apple support discussions to no avail. I can't even manage my music manually. It just will not sync to the phone whether it's manual or over wi-fi.

It sounds like you're having the same problems as me.
I've spoke to Apple about it and nothing worked when i spoke to customer service. I was then passed on to the line manager who couldn't help either. I was then told that the problem would be passed on to the engineers to see if they could see what the problem was.
I've not heard a thing from Apple since.

IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

Music won't sync in ios 8.1

iTunes impossible to sync - My itunes music won't sync. I have tried it all, resetting, deleting the library and reloading, turning on and off all the possible related buttons on iphone and itunes and still mosto of the music is still with a doted circle on the left that keeps the song grayed and although I hit SYNC nothing happens. Then, there are songs on the iPhone 6 that are not on the iTunes library. How can that be possible?

According to http://robservatory.com/a-nasty-little-itunesios-bug-may-be-causing-media-sync-i ssues/, this is an iTunes/iOS bug that has to do with duplicates (or what iTunes thinks are duplicates) in your library. Rob gives a fix for the problem in the post, but it involves deleting the "duplicates". If you're like me and don't want to delete them because they aren't really duplicates, hopefully the fix will come soon.

HT1351 some of my newly purchased music won't sync

Some of my newly purchased music won't sync, even though I converted it to the proper format.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store does not need to be converted before being used on iPods. Music from most other sources, such as Amazon, is in MP3 format and does not need to be converted. So, can you explain "even though I converted it to the proper format"?

HT5225 I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G. I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.

Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-you

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

Sorry, but this doesn't work either. Thank you for the response though.
I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over. I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
I have deleted my iPhone backup.
I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever. But music? Forget it.
I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE. All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT! This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

Re-installed Windows 7/iTunes 10.7. iTunes sees my iPhone 3gs. Won't sync. I have back ups to the cloud and my computer but moved my music folder. How do I resync with a backup??? What's the file called that I need?

What is the name of the file I need to resync back to what I had before I reinstalled Windows7/Itunes?
I don't want to lose all of my apps. iTunes does see the phone but either has miscalcuated and told me I'm over
the size of my allocated sizes for music/apps, but when I uncheck, it still won't sync.
Best way, I assume is to go back to the last backup. So help me out here, what are the file (s) I need and
where are they best stored? I have all my music now on my J drive, not my C drive.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Sue

I backed up to the iCloud and to my computer. Only thing I seem to be missing is a couple playlists. I just didn't want to lose my paid apps.
So what I see in my music folder and then another folder called iTunes and then files like iTunes Library, iTunes Library extras, iTunes Music Library aren't anything that is a back up, I take it, since you said the back up would be under programs? If this statement is true, now I "get" it!
And just to be clear, in iTunes, in my apps, there are all the apps I have gotten for free or paid for. But the problem there was that the Sync was grayed out and if I check it, everything goes crazy with saying I don't have enough room. I unchecked the music folder, and still had problems.
Oh, I hate this part of the iPhone stuff!

Music won't sync to iPhone

Informations:
-iPhone 5 (running iOS 7)
-iTunes 11.1
-windows 7
Issue:
Exactly how it sounds, the iPhone just won't sync music anymore. I have enough space for it. I made sure the option for music is checked.
Everything else will sync to my phone just fine. My iPad also successfully syncs the music (so that weeds out the possibility of a corrupted file)
Half the time the iTunes sync won't even complete, it will either stay stuck on the last step, or automatically cancel
I am not sure what to do, the advisors chat page says there is no solution available in my area, and the tech support over the phone keep hanging up :(

Found out one of the songs had an emoticon/symbol in it, which was causing the new itunes to prevent all the songs from syncing... thanks for not responding to me

My music won't sync onto my iPhone 4

For some reason, iTunes has stopped working with my iPhone 4. The music will not sync. I have gone into my iphone via iTunes and made sure that music is checked. I have tried making a big playlist of all my music and trying that but nothing. While on the music tab in "on this iphone", this shows up next to the songs that won't sync
Please help, its a big problem

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.

Trying to sync my music to my iPhone music won't sync

I have tried and tried to sync my music to my iPhone. I have selected "sync only selected playlists, artists, and genres" On my phone it states I have 890 songs on iTunes it states I have 764 selected to sync. There are songs on my phone that weren't selected to sync I don't want all my music librarby on my phone just some of it... Why is it not syncing the music I have selected? Why!!! WHY WHY!!!!! So mad!! I have unchecked and removed all music and tried to resync and that didn't work... I have yet to get the latest update as I am scared of all the bugs.... So.... Can someone anyone please help me!!!

How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

Music won'y sync with IPhone 5

My music will not sync with the Iphone 5. It appear it skips right over the sync for the music. Tried everything

It turns out this problem is occurring because I bought songs from iTunes radio, the songs I downloaded think they are internet-only tracks and refuse to sync with iTunes. Probably just a bug, but it's irritating because I paid money for those songs and now it's questionable if I even own them..
