IPhone not syncing music

Music is not going onto my iPhone - when I connect it to the computer, the screen remains at "Syncing [my name]'s iPhone" - for over an hour, when I left it there for the longest. Apps that I have downloaded sucessfully go on, when I cancel the sync. *Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why the music is not going on?*

Is this the first sync? If so, it can take longer than an hour for it to go through the entire back-up and sync process, depending on the amount of music/movies etc you are putting on it.
If its not the first sync, try doing a factory restore and then setting up and syncing from scratch again.

  • Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

    I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

  • Iphone not syncing music with old email address

    When I try to sync my iphone OR if I click on a song within itunes to play through the computer, a sign in box pops up saying that this computer is not authouized to play this song would you like to authourze it. The problem is that the email address in the pop up box is an OLD email, that really and truly is not connected with iTunes any longer - and I don't have access to that one any more. I have gone to preferences and checked and the new email is there and so I authorized the computer with that one (for the 10th time) and it says that it was sucessful, BUT when I try to play that song OR sync the iphone again - I get the same pop up box asking for the computer to be authorized again....WITH THE OLD EMAIL ADDRESS. How can I get it authorized to play ALL my music with the new email address (which works for a lot of the music - but not all)?

    Have you tried to deauthorize your computer (via the Store menu), then re-authorize it?
    Can you still login to other Apple services, such as the support website, using your Apple ID?

  • 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.

Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement. It stops at last step saying waiting for items to copy and just sits there.  The iPad finish the sync, but some video's are missing.

  • IPhone does not sync music

    Currently my iTunes does not sync music to my iphone. It does effectively sync apps etc, but when i attempt to update my music it fails to do so. How do I fix this?
    Regards.

    See if you've selected "Manually manage music and videos". If that's selected, even though you sync, only photos will be synced.

  • 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. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

  • IPhone 4s not syncing music

    My iPhone 4s is not syncing music. I have had it a while and it has almost 4 gb of data left. I am running ios 6.0.1 and I added new music yesterday. It is also weirdly adding and taking out data at the sync.

    Connect your iPhone 4S to your computer, click on your iPhone in the Sidebar in iTunes, then click on "Music" and select the music you want to sync.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

  • IPad 3 not syncing music or videos from iTunes.  Can any one help?

    Hi everyone!  First time in submitting a question for me.  Driven to doing it by my iPad 3 not syncing music with iTunes.  In fact it almost seems to be automatically deleting music from my iPad for some reason.  Had a look down similar questions and issues but not real solutions appear to be coming up.  Was working fine about 3 or so weeks ago then simply started developing this issue.  Backs up ok but then says it is waiting for the changes to be applied then a few seconds or so later it says it is complete when it isn't.
    Hope Apple are looking into rectifying this?
    All help gratefully received, thank you!!

    Hi Graham2307 and everyone else.  I too have a similar problem, and similarly this is my first post also.  Apart from your question I found I couldn't find any similar questions or solutions.
    I have quite a few different Apple products all of which have no problem with syncing, backing up and transfering purchases when I connect to itunes on my computer...... apart from my iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.4).  Apart from tonight the last time I connected my iPad 2 to my computer, about 3 weeks ago, there was no problem syncing.
    Then when I have tried tonight to do the same the iPad backs up, then says that it is waiting for sync to start, preparing to sync, waiting for changes to be applied, but all of this takes less than 2 seconds and when i check the pad it hasn't synced my updated apps from my computer to the iPad.  I have kept re-syncing my iPad and sometimes the number of apps that need updating might reduce by a maximum of 2, but most times it doesn't reduce.  I am now stuck with 44 apps that are showing up on my iPad as needing to be updated.  There is no logical process or pattern to why it doesn't update and/or rarely updates 2.
    I could update my apps from the App Store on my iPad, but i don't see why I should download them again when they are all up to date on my computer, when a simple sync to the computer and a couple of minutes wait and 'bob's your uncle' and 'fanny's your aunt' I can go on with using my iPad in blissful ignorance once more.
    I'm sorry I haven't answered your question Graham2307, but merely added to the burden that yours is carrying.
    I too hope Apple are looking into this as it has become a real pain keep pressing sync and hoping something might happen.
    Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks!

  • IPod not syncing music

    I have an iPod 5 with the latest update. And in addition to the other problems I have met with this new iOS7, the biggest is not syncing music. At first it just didn't sync new music. I would unplug it and start over and resync many times but to no avail. I eventually removed all music and then tried readding them and now only the first song of each album shows up. Then I tried restoring the iPod and that appearently made it worse because now less songs than before are showing up. I have over 2000 songs but still plenty of room for more so that can't be it and the songs that do appear now appear twice for some reason. One is apparently the purchased file and the other one is for icloud.

    Hello nobunaga1981!
    This is the forum for iPod Touch, your query should be posted on the iPod Classic forum. In regard to your issue, Have you authorized and deauthorized your computer in iTunes to sync content from that computer to your iPod? as you have changed hard drives on your computer.
    Or another option would be to uncheck "Sync Music" apply the changes and then check it again and apply the changes,
    and see if that sync's content onto your iPod.
    How old is the iPod?
    I would've recommended that you try a restore on the iPod, but from your post I see you have done multiple things to try and fix the problem. If the above options don't work, the only advice I can give you is to drop in to your nearest Apple Store and make an appointment at the Genius Bar to check the problem out.
    Hope you get it sorted soon. Good luck! If anyone has experienced the same issue, post your solutions or recommendations.
    Best,
    OrlaG
