Iphone will not sync photos/music/podcasts

My iphone has been working perfectly but recently decided to stop syncing all photos/music/podcasts. The only items it syncs are contacts and bookmarks. I have tried deleting preferences for itunes/iphoto and reset the phone in itunes and itself. No change. Yes, I have all the right settings checked in itunes.
One strange behavior is the phone shows up twice in iphoto...
Any help will be appreciated!

Mike,
I have tried a full reset and restore.
I just got off the phone with Apple support this AM and they had not seen this problem before. They had me re-install iTunes and syncing is now working, but I still have the phone showing up twice in iPhoto (which Apple also claims is a new problem). Thanks!

  • Iphone will not sync all music to computer.

    I have the newest version of iTunes and my iphone4 is upto date. Now my "Purchased music" from itunes snced with a little bit of messing with but all my"un-purchased" music will not export to itunes. When I click,"on this phone" the "un-purchased" songs are on there, but it will not goto my itunes library. When I gotto sync, it is saying it will erase all music files on my phone, which is the opposite of what i want. i want to put the rest of my "unpurchased music" on my itunes on my computer. PLEASE HELP!

    The sync for music is a one way sync from ypur computer to iPhone and not  the reverse.  If you can't move the original music into that iTunes library, and that is the best answer, then you will have to look for a 3rd party app to help you.
    I have used Senuti when I had a PC disaster to do what you are trying to do.

  • My iPhone will not sync my music

    Every time I plug my phone into iTunes it will sync everything except my music. It says it is syncing it for about three seconds then it says it is done. Then it didn't actually do anything. Please someone for the love of god help me!

  • IPhone will not sync photos with iPhoto 8

    When I sync the iphone I get this error message: "The iPhone '[user]'s iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." Everything except photos are transferred from the mac to the iphone. Photos on the iphone camera roll are transferred to iPhoto, but nothing comes back. I have tried erasing, restoring, starting as new iphone, etc. but nothing helps.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, I tried all the suggestions you all made. Nothing helped. Then, while helping my sleepy little boy go potty, the phone slipped out of my pocket and straight into the loo.
    Oh well... Now the solution is just academic for me.
    Thanks to all.

  • IPhone will not sync any music not purchased in iTunes.

    I have had an iPhone/iPod touch for 6 years, and have never had a problem like this. It's really irritating.
    A couple of weeks ago, for some reason, iTunes stopped syncing music to my phone. It wouldn't add anything else. After a couple of tries, it deleted ALL of my music from my phone that had not been purchased in iTunes. It shows up on my phone, but won't let me play it. I've had an iPhone 4S for nearly two years, and I am really frustrated with this. Has anyone had a similar problem, or might know what's going on? I was thinking I should try to erase everything from my phone and start again, but I don't know if that will solve my issue. 
    I am running the latest software on everything.

    Also 599 songs couldnt be sync'd to ipad and had 690 overall :/ no songs have exclamation marks on them or problems they all work.

  • IPhone will not sync photos from specific album - "Archive not found"

    Hi
    I have problems transferring some photos to my iPhone. The thing is, I can transfer photos from some iPhoto albums like "Last import", or "3 most recent events" with no problems, but when I select the album I have specifically created for the iPhone I get an error saying that "the necessary archive does not exist" (the exact phrase may be slightly different, as I use a localized version of MacOS). The forlder contains 59 pictures, all JPEG in 2592 × 1944, as are the pictures in the albums that transfer OK. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • IPhone will not sync music, movies etc since upgrading to Mavericks...

    Upgrade to Mavericks on Tuesday.  I also upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7 7.0.3.  Since this time iTunes will not sync my music movies or TV shows to my iPhone five. I have tried everything  can't find a solution. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Well...last night, I thought I had it all figured out. I had several successful syncs after I used the method in my post above. Even when making changes to playlists, everything synched successfully every time.
    Tonight, however, it's back to the same crap. Hanging on "Waiting for changes..." and no changes being made. Sometimes iTunes crashes in the process.
    The only thing that seems to complete correctly is the backup, as it logs it correctly under "Latest Backup"...but ****, who knows if THAT'S even working right.
    Really frustrated, Apple. And yes...I've sent detailed iTunes feedback here and via the error box that pops up when iTunes crashes.

  • Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

    Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
    When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
    I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
    It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
    I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
    Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music

    Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music to iPad 2 mini or iPhone 3GS after upgrade. I have tried a full restore and hard resets on the iPhone. I have tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking the boxed related to transfers and automatic syncing.
    I hit the sync button and only for a brief second does it appear to attempt to sync and then nothing further happens. It seems to abort with no error message. Any assistance would be appreciated or thumbs up from those with similar problems after a recent upgrade.
    I am using OS 10.6.8.
    Thank you!

    i'm in the same boat. setting up my iPhone 6 as a new device (as i've done numerous of times with my other iDevices). i've had zero luck on transferring my library and playlist over to my new iPhone 6. I do nothing different than what i've done before. I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. It goes through the steps pretty quick and the storage capacity at the bottom shrinks a few GB's for my playlist i'm adding, then it reverts back to what it's currently at and does nothing, no errors.

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!
