IPhone 5S Music syncing issues after 8.0.2

Hello,
I have been having irritating issues getting my iPhone 5S to sync my music library over after updating to 8.0.2.
I did a backup onto my laptop prior to updating, and went ahead with the new update. The first thing I noticed was after updating to 8.0.2 in order to sync again, iTunes prompted me that I was lacking 6GB of data on my phone to sync my library. I did not use my phone at all during the updating process so there's no way 6GB of data was magically written on it's storage drive. I could not figure out why in the world iTunes would tell me I needed to free up 6GB to sync the exact same music that was already there prior to. I went ahead and completely deleted my entire Music library from the phone, and tried to resync fresh. I still got the same message from iTunes. Believing in the program and going ahead and doing some spring cleaning, I ended up freeing a good amount of things off of my phone, applications, photos, messages, etc. to drop 6GB from the storage. I went ahead and synchronized my iPhone 5S with iTunes so I could get my music on my phone. It proceeded to go ahead and sync my roughly 1400 songs onto the iPhone. After it was complete, it showed I had an astounding 12GB of free space on my phone... I said to **** with it and just wanted to play my music. The phone seems to have all of my library that I chose to sync on my Music app. The problem is, when I go to play songs the music app will Skip over certain songs. I have not found any commonality between which songs it chooses to skip. It skips newly added songs, it skips old songs, it skips purchased songs, it skips songs downloaded from other sites. There seems to be no structure to which songs it's skipping. Another thing to note, whenever I connect my iPhone 5S to my iTunes and sync, I am Always able to sync something new onto the phone (around step 5 or 6 when it is completing the sync, it will mysteriously add some songs to the phone). Those songs are playable. Then I shuffle through my playlist, and Still the same problem remains, it has removed some songs and skips over them. It seems to Sync songs, and Delete songs... completely at random. This is bothering me and I'm not sure what to do, and am Very unsatisfied with the amount of bugs still left in the software. I wonder if others are having similar issues and maybe we can bring some light to this.
Thank You,
Andrew

Similar issue Andrew. After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling" songs that are no longer in my Music Library. Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone. I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone. When I synched however, I was back to square one. I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone . We also downloaded IOS 8.02. They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it. Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone. After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space. (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
When I got home from the Apple store I spent after hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes. I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched. Didn't work. Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work. Bottom line, I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song ! I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
Furthermore, it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system in my car. However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone. If you ( or anyone else ) finds something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks, Lorenzo

Iphone 5s music sync issues

Guys and girls.
I have got my 5s and have manage to get round to adding my music from my old phone (android) into Itunes music all plays fine but will not sync to my phone.
I go about the sync the normal way, it does start to work but gets to the 'checking for downloads' bit in the blue bar at the top and the whole of Itunes stops responding at all. I use the latest update on itunes and the latest software update on my phone which is now updating to 7.1 as we speak. Still no joy with the music sync. I have tried a few things i have seen on other threds i.e. reset phone using hold lock and home button together, un syncing and re syncing, unticking and reticking boxes and i am slowly going mad!haha. Can anyone offer a solution???
Thanks in advance

IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks

My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

Music syncing issue after latest update

I'm having issues syncing my music on my iPhone 4 after this latest security update. Some of the files seem to be "stuck" on the phone. They won't remove, others just won't play, I can't add anything to the phone. Etc. SOS!!!

Have you tried re-installing the firmware through Nokia Suite? Remember to backup all your phone contents when prompted by Nokia Suite.

IPhone syncing issues after iTunes upgrade

Hi
I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 for Mac. During the install I got a kernel panic and had to restart. iTunes seems to be installed fine. When I connect my iPhone I get messages like "some content will not be copied to the iPhone as this computer is not authorized" or such like. So now several apps, videos and music has been wiped from the iPhone.
I tried authorizing the computer but I just get "This computer is already authorized".
there does not seem to be any particular link between the erased content. Some was purchased on the Mac and some on the iPhone, all from the iTunes store. Before I updated iTunes everything synced fine.
I can d/l the apps again direct to the iPhone but I can't find a way to get the missing music and videos back on the iPhone. Very annoying.
Would re-installing iTunes help?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Try highlighting the one of the songs that will not sync in iTunes> cilck File> Get Info, check the account name and verifying you are authorizing the computer with correct account.
If the issue persists, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
If you still see the issue after removing the SC Info folder, try reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

Macbook-iPhone music syncing issue

I recently got a MacBook Pro. My iPhone, which was synced on my old computer, will not work with my Pro because it says that it is synced with another library. I am signed onto my only iTunes account on both my new computer and my iPhone. How do I fix this?

You can only sync your itunes media content ( music, videos..) to one computer at a time. When you connect your phone to another computer or reinstall your system or itunes or change your itunes library, all media content on your iphone will be erased and replaced with the content of the new itunes library.
Contacts, pictures taken with your phone and purchased data from itunes like apps can be transferd to the new computer or are part of the backup of your phone in itunes.
So, disable autosync in itunes. Connect your phone and backup manually by right clicking on the phone in the device list. Transfer purchases the same way: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able to merge your data when you restore from the backup after the first sync.

Sync issues after iOS 8 update

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something. I think the error even states do a restore to fix it. Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back. I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.

Anyone notice music playing pauses on IPhone during music sync from the cloud?

I downloaded a album from my Macbook Pro to test the new music auto sync feature on my IPhone. While I was downloading the album on my MBP I started playing the first song that was synced to my IPhone. I noticed that after every song that was synced to my IPhone the music playing would pause for a 1/2 second then continue. I tested this out with WIFI and on 3G and got the same results. I found it a bit annoying and I don't think this is "feature" to let me know a song has been synced onto my IPhone. Now I do understand this feature is in BETA so I hope it gets fixed when its finally released.

I have had this exact same thing happen to me. It is really annoying to have those pauses. Some songs have multiple pauses. I hope this is resolved when the final product is released.

Sync Issue After Compressing MPEG-2

My source is a true 24fps file (NOT 23.98!) from Avid.
When I used compressor to create a 23.98 MPEG-2 file, I noticed that the picture would occasionally jitter. After looking in the Compressor manual, on page 190 I saw,
"NOTE: If your source video has a frame rate of 24.00 fps rather than 23.98 fps,
Compressor skips one out of every 1000 source frames. If the 24p source video is
23.98 fps, Compressor transcodes all source frames, without skipping (or repeating) any of them."
Oh great, that's expected behavior. So I open up the 24.00 fps QuickTime in Cinema Tools, conform it to 23.98, and put it back through Compressor.
Bingo! No more skipped frames.
But now the audio is running at 47.952 kHz, and when I put it into DVDSP, it starts running at 48 kHz, throwing everything out of sync. This happens with both AIFF and AC3's.
Basically, the problem is that I'm slowing down the video by .1%, so now I have to slow the audio down, too.
I tried using both Avid and FCP to slow the audio down by .1%, then re-exporting at 48 kHz, and I also tried laying the audio off to tape, and then digitizing it into a 29.97 project. But when I'd export the audio and put it into DVDSP, it's still a few frames off by the end.
This makes me think that maybe Compressor or Cinema Tools is changing the frame rate to 23.98 instead of a true 23.976 fps. Can anyone confirm or deny?
I'm working on a 90 film, so the sync issues are quite noticeable by the end, and trying a bunch of different things is very time consuming. Any workflow advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

My iPad under 4.2.1 is working fine, but my iPhone 4 is messed up. After the upgrade, my MobileMe settings were just plain wrong (they were working prior to the upgrade). I had to delete and re-add MobileMe, and now my contacts are not updating on the iPhone. The Calendar was slow, but it did eventually update. I've tried rebooting the device, stopping and starting contact sync through MobileMe, with no luck so far.

IPhone will not sync calendar after 10.5.2 update

I am having this issue. I have restored the phone and still can't sync calendars with phone. The phone does not seem to be syncing mail accounts either.
Can anyone help or offer suggestions?

Try resetting the sync history first which is done with iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Applications > iSync > iSync Preferences > Reset Sync History
After that, reboot your Mac and try syncing again.

Lumia 820 Music Sync issue.

I installed 16GB micro SDHC card into my Lumia 820 and set as default for music and pictures. I try to sync music between my mac and phone. But the end of the sync, error message comes up which says all the music can't be copied. When I check the storage section on my phone. Music and video shows 0 and seems like all the music is in "Other" section. Couldn't see anything under "Music". Tried Google and can't find any solution. Please anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.

I have also experienced the same issue and wasted about 4 hours of my life yesterday attempting to deal with it.
Music syncing to SD is horribly broken on the 820, on both 1232.2109.1242.1001 (original) and 1232.5951.1249.1003 (portico) firmwares.
I have ended up in a state where I have had to factory reset to fix the mess on 2 occasions now, on both original and portico firmware. This issue is definitely not fixed in portico.
For some obscure reason, particularly when using the desktop sync app, if it fails and tries again the music app gets very confused and displays an array of duplicates. If you perform an SD card format whilst in this state, the music app still 'thinks' that some of the music is still there and displays it as such. The only way to fix this erroneous display is to factory reset, which is far from ideal.
A workaround to the duplicate issue is to *not* use the desktop Windows Phone app, which seems to be horribly broken.
The Metro app often says that it 'Cannot copy the file to your phone' but it actually has without any issues, go figure.
I also noticed that some SD cards simply don't work properly in the 820.
I firstly tried a brand new Samsung 32GB which intermittently stopped working when syncing, dragging and dropping, and downloading on the phone causing the store to refuse to open necessitating a reboot.
I'm currently using a Transcend 8GB which does not exhibit that problem.
I tested the Samsung on my PC and it works fine, but I returned it to Amazon as faulty and exchanged it with a Sandisk 32GB, so I'll see what happens with that when it arrives I guess.
I don't know if this is a Nokia issue or a Microsoft issue. But someone needs to step up and fix this, because a 'switcher' from another platform will return the device immediately.
I've been a Windows Phone user for some time (Omnia 7, Lumia 800, then 820), but seriously, this issue was really making me consider my choice of platform.
Music syncing to SD *needs* to work and it needs to work reliably.

IPhone User Guide Format Issue After 4.3 Upgrade

The iPhone User Guide is no longer formatted properly since I upgraded to iOS 4.3. Although the info is there, the top third of the screen remains stationary, while the rest sometimes scrolls. On some screens, it's not possible to scroll down enough to see all the info. Has anyone else had this issue after upgrading? If so, what did you do to resolve it? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Have taken to downloading the PDF but it's not nearly as quick and easy to use.
You need to restore your phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. All is explained in the User Guide.
Starting to question why I did't go android. I thought apple products err just supposed to work!
No one here cares if you go androgynous. I'm sure they all work perfectly all the time.

Constant Outlook Sync Issues After Migrating Mailbox 2003- 2010

Hi all,
I am trekking along with my Exchange 2010 implementation and yesterday I went ahead and migrated my mailbox from 2003 to 2010. I am able to send/receive without issue, but I am having a lot of Sync Issues.
Some of the issues (conflicts) seemed to be resolved by removing and recreating my Mail profile within Control Panel, but I still get Sync Issues when sending mail. The logs look as follows:
11:03:51 Synchronizer Version 14.0.4760
11:03:51 Synchronizing Mailbox 'Paul Newell'
11:03:51 Synchronizing local changes in folder 'Drafts'
11:03:51 Uploading to server 'CAS-HUB.domain.local'
11:03:51 Synchronization of some deletions failed.
11:03:51
[0-130]
11:03:51
1 item(s) deleted in online folder
11:03:51 Done
Any ideas on what is going on and how to remedy this? The only thing that I see that is a little odd is that the "Updating server" section has the name of my CAS/HT server, not my Mailbox server.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the link. I actually found
this one which told how to create them via Exchange Shell. That article also said you cannot manage Managed Folders through the EMC in 2010 SP1. Furthermore, in my EMC (Retention Policies tab) I have an option to "Port from Managed
Folder to Tag", which leads me to believe that the "Retention Policies" and "Retention Policy Tags" are replacing "Managed Folders". Heck, even pressing F1 in the EMC while viewing the "Retention Policy Tags" I get a "Content cannot be found" page.
:p
I venture to believe these are the same thing though (just a different verbiage or an update to the Managed Folders) as I have a ton of default tags created that have actions such as "Delete and Allow Recovery" with an Age Limit for Retention of various
day-lengths. I was also able to create one here to delete items in the "Sync Issues" folder after 30 days.
Is this new with 2010 SP1 or did I get some crazy version that no one knows about yet? ;)
Thanks again!
