Iphone shows 1gb and itunes 3gb free space

Why is that my iphone storage shows that I only have 1GB free but when I sync it through itunes shows that there's 3GB free space on my iphone. Where does the 2GB goes? Because I really need those 2GB space on my iphone cause the last update took a lot of space so I can't even download apps or keep my photos and keep deleting them Please help.

Yes, I see the same thing with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.2.1 (also never jailbroken), although I’ve seen this for a while with previous iOS releases, maybe even before iTunes 10. I see variations anywhere from 500MB to 2GB or more during the sync.
At the end of the sync, the amount of free space reported by iTunes matches what the iPhone says, but it’s still strange — is there space being taken up by something that could be freed up?

Why does my 5s show over capacity but 3gb free space

My itunes library currently has 21gb of music and the status bar for my iphone says music is 20gb. I want to sync the extra 1gb and I have 3gb free space after apps etc but when I try to sync it says I need an additional 19gb which is baffling. when I click on the "on this iphone" tab it shows as having no apps no tones no books and only one song but obviously my phone is full of data but not to capacity. I really want to listen to my new music any ideas on how to fix this?
Im running the latest itunes and 7.04 on my iphone on windows 7 64bit.

Please read this article for how to go about syncing music using itunes.

It sounds as if to me you are attempting to sync OVER what has already been synced. Not really possible but I suppose anything can be done if trying hard enough. Please carefully look over the area which discuesses syncing either the entire library or selected artist, playlists or genresl.
Good luck

My iPad free space was shrinking. Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened. Do I have a setting wrong?

My iPad free space was shrinking. Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened. Do I have a setting wrong? There was a significant change from 4.3 GB to now 10.2 GB. I still have all the same apps, photos, songs, etc. So what's up? Why does my space not recover after I delete things?

This is what I did to resolve the issue. First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help. Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing. Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions. Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library. Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive. Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.). I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history. Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

Yeah, I have this problem too. Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad. Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad. I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
But that's a terrible workaround. I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.

Error 1603
Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Hi Dance4Life85!
I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes, according to the instructions in this article:
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11201
To reinstall iTunes, download it from the Apple Downloads website.
Apple Downloads website
Note that all you will need to do is download iTunes and install it again, it will install over the version that is on your computer right now without issue. If your issue persists, you may want to see this article about troubleshooting third-party plugins for iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
Lastly, if neither of these resolve the issue, then you may need to recreate your iTunes library. More information on this can be found here:

ITunes and my iPhone show two different amounts for available space

I have been unable to syncronize my iPhone 5 for a while now. I've tried unchecking the box to "Sync Music" which warned me it would remove music from my phone and then re-checking to re-add music back to my phone. This has worked in the past when my phone has had issues synchronizing. Now I appear to be totally stuck though.
The issue I've run in to is that iTunes says that I have 4177 songs (24.80 GB) on my iPhone (see below).
My iPhone under storage settings says I have 6.5GB (see below).
When I try to sync, I get the error message that says I don't have enough free space. I've tried clearing out apps, etc to give me more free space but what I'm finding again and again is that the issue is what iTunes thinks I have as free space is different than what my iPhone thinks.
For instance right now my iPhone shows 20.1 GB available but when I try to synchronize, iTunes says I need an additional 244.6 MB of free space. I clearly have way more than that according to my iPhone but can't seem to figure anything out.
If it's helpful, I'm in iOS version 8.2 and iTunes version 12.1.1.4 running on Windows 7 Professional SP1

You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.
