IPhone 5 music not showing even it's sync
Can anyone help? I have sync my iPhone 5 with itunes already. The bar beneath did show there are audio files stored in my iPhone, but when I try to play music on my phone, it doesn't show any music stored. Kindly show me how to fix it?
Hi Omanaomi,
It sounds like you may be trying to back up your iPhone to iCloud. Try these methods to initiate the backup first:
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12520
If you are still unable to back up your iPhone to iCloud, you should see an alert message, the meaning of which can be explained by this article:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages - Apple Support

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.
The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

Iphone music not showing up in itunes
Help! My iphone 4S works just fine when i[m using it, but when I plug it into my computer it doesn't show my music in iTunes. iTunes no longer opens automaticallly when I attach the iPhone, although it is visible in the windows Device Manager and in Itunes (instead of showing the few thousand songs i have, it shows 3 that i downloaded from the itunes store, but in gray, so i can't alter them anyway). I've tried on multiple computers, I've tried turnng the iPhone off and on (i REALLY hate to wipe it if not necessary - like I said, the phone and music and everything else on the phone itself are fine, and i don't want to risk not being able to reload any music after restoring it to factory default. I've seen other people with the same or similar problems, but no one seems to have a working solution. Any ideas?
I have an iPhone 4S and have the same issue. I noticed yesterday that I had alot of duplicate songs on my iPhone so I did the drastic thing and removed all music from iTunes then synced my iPhone. This removed all the music from the iPhone, but still shows audion in the capacity bar at the bottom. Sure enough when i go into music on my iPhone there is still music on the phone.
I can't see this music from iTunes at all. I've tried sync'ing and manually managing music both, and neither of them will make the music show back up in iTunes.
The music just seems to be stuck on my phone. I really don't want to have to restore my phone, but right now i don't know if i have much choice. -
I recently updated my iPhone which I'm certain has caused this problem for me.
I had an iPhone full of music and I manually updated it every time to save computer disk space.
Since the update, it left my iPhone with only two albums on it (randomly) and I thought it had all been deleted/wiped due to the update until I went onto iTunes..
If I click onto the iPhone's details, it shows the usage (music, photos, apps etc) as normal.. but if I click iCloud it changes and shows all of my previous music, if I go onto "on this phone" it lists every single song so the music is still there somewhere but I don't know how to get it back (I never used iCloud by the way so it is not stored there).
I done a quick search but I couldn't see any similar links or fixes.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!Anyone?

I purchased an iphone 4 in July 2012. I set it up to synch with Windows Outlook on my 2009 HP laptop computer (Windows 7). This seemed to work fine.
A few weeks ago, I was notified that my itunes or iphone software needed updating. With my iphone plugged into my computer, I performed the update. When it was over, I had an error message on my iphone indicating that it needed to be reset. I did this and there was no information on my iphone. I then synched with the laptop and everything appeared to be restored.
HOWEVER, now when I synch, items that I enter on my laptop show up on my iphone BUT items that I enter on my iphone do NOT show up on my laptop. How do I fix this?All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone
A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone. -

IPhone Home Sharing Music not showing in iTunes
Hi All,
I have successfully set up Home Sharing on two separate iPhones using the same Apple ID and on my MacBook Air iTunes. I can view and play the Air's music library on both of the iPhones. However, in iTunes on the MacBook Air, the iPhones are not showing up under Shared. Actually, the "Shared" category is not showing up at all. Is there some reason the iPhone music libraries are not on the iTunes on the MacBook Air. How can I fix this?
Recap:
Home sharing set up on 2 iPhone and on laptop
iPhone can play laptop music as shared
iTunes on laptop does not show iPhone music libraries
iTunes on laptop does not show "Shared" at all.
Thanks!Installing iTunes and logging in with an Apple ID has never caused content to magically appear.
The content is only where you put it.
Copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer. -
I updated to ios5 on another computer because i was stuck on the recovery mode loop but now the problem is that when i try sync to my current one iphone does not show up or sync at all.. any ideas? gonna try uninstall right now..
There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content. -
HT1296 replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and i cannot sync
replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and I cannot sync
You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard. iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6. So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running. A G5 is a PowerPC. Intel is Intel.
Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
What version of iTunes do you have?
Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine? Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread. -
Dear Sirs,
I turn on the iTunes Match in my iphone3GS, but the itme of "show all musics" not show up and turn on, so when I open musics in my iPone3GS, the musics seems not be matched with iClouds.I means it doesn't work on.Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Note:
iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
latest iOS software here'
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
All the best,

My iPhone is not showing in iTunes on my PowerBook G42005-any suggestions?
I have a PowerBook 2005 G4. When I sync my iPhone with the PowerBook, the iPhone does not show in the iTunes-as in the music and such is not showing. Does anyone know what might fix that problem?
Newer iPhones require a higher Mac OSX version than any PowerBook can run. You can run no higher than 10.5.8--I think the oldest OS version that will synch is 10.6.8.
What version of iOS is on the phone? That could make a difference. -

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks
Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

My iPhone is not showing up in iTunes, or Windows Explorer.
I have looked around searching and tried to uninstall everything that had anything to do with Apple and iTunes. Nothing worked. I also have gone into the computer managment and stopping and starting the apple managment and iPod service. Still, nothing worked. My iPhone will not show up in iTunes, nor Windows Explorer, when I plug it in I can hear the sound that when a device gets plugged into the computer.
It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.
