Hey there Luserproman,
It sounds like you have a lot of purchases you want to get from your iPhone 4s to your iPhone 5c.
You can redownload your purchases from the iTunes store free of charge.

Blackberry desktop software and itunes music sync problem

Ok so I have a Blackberry Torch 9800, OS 6.0 and the current blackberry desktop softer version 6.1.0.35.
I was previously able to access all my itunes music and playlists via the desktop software. But since I completed the software updates not all my music is loading into the software and none of my playlists are showing up.
I'm not sure if this is related but I believe that twice my phone has rebooted itself. I've also noticed that the new desktop software has had issues detecting my phone. My main concern is the problem with the music sync issue.
In the interim I have just dragged and dropped music files onto my memory card. Can you please let me know what I can do to fix this if anything....thanks.

I just experienced the same thing and after feeling frustrated for about an hour and wishing I'd learn my lesson and stop upgrading software for no reason, I went into the Desktop Manager software Device Settings.
Under Device Settingsgo to the Media tab and you'll see a Music Source option. I found that my default setting was on Windows Media Player instead of iTunes. Once I switched it back my view refreshed and my playlists showed up again.
Hope this helps!

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

ITunes music sync problems (clouds and dotted circles)

I think this is a common problem but I tried several solutions I found online and nothing seems to work.
When I connect my iPhone to iTunes I have several songs on it that have a dotted circle and that are in grey font. These songs are mostly from an album I purchased some time ago and then removed from my iTunes library since I did not want to hear it anymore.
I would like to get those phones off my phone. I tried to uncheck the "sync music" box and made a sync but this did not work. I also tried to remove all songs from my iphone using the storage management settings but this did not work as well. On a related note, there are several songs that show up on my phone and that have a little cloud next to them. These songs do not show up in iTunes when I connect the phone.
So in summary: My iPhone shows songs (with a cloud) that I do not see in iTunes when I check what is supposed to be on my phone. And what I see in iTunes (the songs with the dotted circle) do not seem to be on my iPhone.
This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions anyone?

The songs with the cloud symbol don't appear in iTunes because they aren't on your phone. Those are links to your previously purchased music in the iTunes store so you can easily download them by tapping the symbol.
If you want help with the "dotted circle" issue you should post this question over in the iTunes forum. The only thing I can suggest is to delete all your music (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage>Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Songs), then sync it back using iTunes. If you already tried that unsuccessfully, try posting over in the iTunes forum.

ITunes music sync problem :/

Music sync problem with ios 5 on iPhone 3gs?

I've seen a few other posts with a similar problem, but no solution that has helped so far! I have an iPhone 3GS, and have updated to the new software. My problem is that the music says it syncs, in iTunes it even shows that 4GB of music is on my iphone, but when I open the app it says there is nothing there and that I can buy music from iTunes. Any ideas?

I just had a similar problem with my iPhone 4. Are you using wi-fi syncing or USB? I found that using a USB connection helped. I connected the phone, turned off "sync music," then synced. Turn "sync music" back on and sync again.
Hope that helps.

Music sync problem - The disk could not be read or written to.

Hello!
Since my last iPod restore I have got a problem with music syncing. When I want to sync about more than 10 files iTunes gives an error massage: "The disk could not be read or written to." It is very annoying to copy 20GB music.
Any good idea?

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

Hi
I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

ITunes & Device Syncing Problems FREEZING

My mom updated my version of iTunes while I was away from home for a week and ever since I have been unable to use it for anything.
I can't run any other programs if iTunes is open because CPU usage spikes to maximum.
I can't sync my iPod Touch 4G OR update its iOS software because it freezes in both instances part way through backing up the device.
I have even tried to just let it finish syncing overnight, thinking maybe it would eventually make it, when I woke up this morning it was still at the same level of 'backing up' as when I went to bed.
I've never had problems with my iTunes or iPod like this. Help?!

Hey there,
Well I think the get a Mac ads finally paid off...
Plug your iPhone into your computer and click on the Photos tab that comes up. Make the checkbox is ticked so iTunes actually syncs your photos. I recommend you make a new folder called "Photos" or whatever and place all the photos you want to be in your iPhone in that folder. Then in the Photos tab in iTunes, select that "Photos" folder to be imported into your iPhone. Finnaly press the "Apply" button in the bottom right and then press the "Sync" button. This should clear your problems.

When is Apple going to fix the iTunes 11 syncing problem!!!!

After troubleshooting the iTune 11 upgrade seems to cause syncing problems for everyone. I've tried everything and my ipod will no longer sync. Help! When is Apple going to apply a fix for this?????

My sync problem has been going on since I updated to IOS 8. I have had two telephone help calls and one Genius Bar visit. I am no further forward.
MY iPhone and iPad will randomly fill to capacity with OTHER files requiring a complete reboot. I have disabled iCloud drive and tried reorganising and deleting files from my iTunes library. All of my devices worked almost perfectly prior to this upgrade. I now dread syncing either of my devices to see what latest iTunes problem is now present.
I Have one simple question which no one at Apple has answered. When iTunes finds a file it doesn't like or will not sync why does it not flag it up with the reason for the problem. iTunes has done this for many years with incompatible files and missing album art work. If iTunes could only tell us why it is continually waiting for sync to start or give us a reason for our iOS device suddenly filling to capacity with OTHER files at least we would be able to do our own diagnosis and repairs. Apple need to sort out this issue soon. I'm losing patience and faith in Apple products. So no iPhone 6 upgrade for me till this gets properly sorted.

Itunes 9 Syncing problem

Hi i am getting this message...
'iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone 3Gs because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?
Click on Yes.....
Error Message- iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services, reconnect or try again later...'
Can anyone help, this was working fine before i updated to 3.1 and iTunes 9...
Thanks and regards
Mat

I broke down and called Apple support. Eventually I got to a second level support person and after trying a few things which didn't help. She said I needed to uninstall iTunes and re-install. Actually you have to uninstall iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support & Apple Application update. And that's the order she had me do them and she said it did matter.
I rebooted. Downloaded a new iTunes & re-installed. Eventually it all worked.
So far no problems. I don't know what went wrong but the uninstall & reinstall answer was worthy of Microsoft at it's best.
If you try it I hope it works for you as well.

Itunes\Music Store Problems -Any Help Appreciated

Recently apple gave us (yes gave) a new intel Imac, after about 4 repairs to the mainboard and PSU on our 1 year old G5 Imac. Needless to say we were quite happy. Well after about 2 weeks and I think this coincides with a couple of the recent updates, Itunes started to randomly lose songs. they would deauthorize randomly and then increment the same. Well we resorted to contacting apple (under apple care now...) They have been no help nor has itunes\music store support. To their credit they have been willing to deauthorize the computes on the account 5 times in as many days. Although the emails asking the same questions over and over are quite frustrating. Currently the symptoms are:
1) Random incrementations on authorizations for one computer
2) Out of Memory error when you try to authorize until 5 authorizations are reached
3) Music Store -50 error
I have checked our router and cable modem etc no problems there, I can turn off the hardware firewall and no changes are had. I don't have any suspect software running, and have removed any itunes related widgets etc. Most recently I have rolled back itunes to 6.04 but still no dice. My wife (whose computer this is) is at her wits end as she is a tried and true "mac-girl" and has managed to convince almost everyone we know to switch or at least grab an ipod and go.... Needless to say she is currently regretting that... If anyone has any ideas please let me know I am currently sitting on $300+ of music I can't even get burned to CD or listen too. Apple tech support etc has been pretty worthless and it seems like these errors are rampant atm, you would think a "We're working on it" would be coming. Oh well Thanks in Advance.

Intel IMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I did repair the permissions as I have learned you are suppose to. The firmware should be up to date as well. With regards to a b\u when the G5 was acting squirrelly the last thing I did was purchase an external HD to ensure that we ddidn't lose the music. Is the common problem the 10.4.7 update or the Itunes 6.05? I have rolled back to Itunes 6.04 but haven't touched the OS. It's not something I really want to do but at this point will try almost anything.

I upgraded from an android to an new iphone 4s. I have an itunes account and library but I am reluctant to connect my phone to my computer in fear of all of my itunes music syncing to my new phone.

Is it possible to choose which songs from my itunes library to add to my phone? Also, my pictures are stored on my computer but not my itunes library, can I pick and choose which pictures to upload to my new iphone 4s? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you have the option to transfer your entire music library or selected playlists, artists, genres, albums.
iTunes does not store photos. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a folder on your computer to place the named folder of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

Itunes library sync problems. Purchased items only music that syncs.

Itunes library problems syncing. Purchased items from apple all syncing. Progressively losing ability to listen to my CD's I've loaded myself. ie: library music or store bought CD's. Some albums unplayable and some albums only a few songs playable. It's almost as if apple has decided that if I don't buy from them I won't be able to play it. New problem this week only. Cant fix despite frequent attempts to sync ipod. Library seems to be freezing or something at stage 7/7 of syncing items in library.

what computer are you using? if it a windows computer make sure you update your itunes version to 11.1.2
are you able to play the songs from your computer?
try this go to edti> preference> devices > at the bottom click the reset sync histore and choose ok close itunes pull up a new one and try if it work
