IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

Hello,
Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Peter.

Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
Thank you,
Peter.

Playlists on iTunes are not syncing correctly with iPhone on iOS 7-only 48 of 134 songs on one playlist are appearing (all songs are checked and I've tried this both hardwire and wireless)...help!

So, I could use help from people who know mre about this than I do. I did a sync last night between iTunes on my Mac (latest version of iTunes) and my iPhone 5 running iOS 7. For some reason, about 90 songs in one of my playlists have disappeared.
The songs are all checked in the playlist in iTunes
The songs were all on the iPhone playlist prior to the sync
I've tried a sync again both by hardwire and wifi
I added a song to the playlist on iTunes and the song appeared in the iPhone playlist, but none of the other 90+ songs came back
I haven't checked my other playlists to see what is there and what isn't (I have lots of music, so this would take days to verify).
I've thought about managing my music manually, but I would have to rebuild everything from scratch on the phone which would take days and I'd never get everything back to the right place.
In as much as I'm otherwise liking iOS 7, the new iTunes app for iOS 7 has been a real pain. This is what's really put me over the edge on it!
If you all have any suggestions that could help, I'd really appreciate it! The playlist I'm referencing most specifically is my most-used playlist and I'd love to have it right.
Thanks!

Hi oxman78,
That definitely sounds frustrating! Let's give this a go to see if we can isolate the issue futher:
First, connect your device and choose the "Music" tab. Next, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.

IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
But one of them drove me crazy!
I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
I left it for hours and nothing.
As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
1- Repair Permittions
2- Reinstall iTunes
3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
7- Reset PRAM
Nothing worked.
I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
But disableing it didn't worked neither.
THE SOLUTION
I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
4- i Created a new task at that calendar
5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
HOpe it works for you!

ITunes still not syncing correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3

Since upgrading to version 9.4.x, iTunes hasn't been syncing correctly with iPhoto. There were duplicated events/albums, missing photos, photos not appearing in the same order on iOS devices as they do in iPhoto, etc.
With each version upgrade since 9.4, this seems to have been improving bit by bit. I have just upgraded to 9.4.3, and now photos appear in the same order as they do in iPhoto. The only problem left for me, is that there are still photos missing in iTunes. Which photos that are missing seems to be completely random.
I have tried rebuilding the library, which made matters a lot worse. Using 3rd party software like iPhoto library manager to rebuild the library didn't help either (iTunes syncing became a total mess, even more photos were missing afterwards).
I hope by version 9.4.4, iTunes will read all info correctly from iPhoto again, as it did in version 9.3.2. Anyone else still experience problems?

Sorry about that. Well, I've tried deleting the AlbumData.xml file as suggested also, but iPhoto itself generates a new file every time it's opened, so that's really a dead end. Rebuilding the library and through iPhoto Library Manager are the steps that required most work, and both did not work either, unfortunately.
I do believe that I'm not the only experiencing iTunes syncing problem, as there have been many posts here before when 9.4 came out. Like I wrote, it has been better with each upgrade, so there's definitely something in the coding with 9.4.x that messes things up. I had no trouble whatsoever with version 9.3.2 and prior to that.

Please share a comprehensive list of things you've already tried so we won't your time - and ours - making suggestions you already know won't work.
Library size is not part of this issue. 12k photos is not a large library these days, I have one four times that size with no syncing issues.

Itunes not syncing correctly with my ipod

So i was downloading this new album to my ipod and when i synced it, i made sure to see if it was fine on my ipod
there were these 3 songs that belonged in the album but were isolated in their own album.
It either only showed the album name or just the artists name
i tried to fix it but now i lost an album from the album category and its left as Unknown Album but on my itunes the songs are all where they are supposed to be and is fine.
This has happened to me with other albums but after 2 hours you obviously have to give up
Is there something wrong with my itunes or is it my ipod thats not syncing correctly?
And also i wanted to know if i can write a review on the whole itunes program because honestly, it is so difficult and all i'm trying to do is download music.

I looked through some older threads on this subject and, while bunches of people seem to have had this problem, I did not find a solution thta works for me. Also, for what it's worth, the last time the "number of plays" and "date last played" updated was 12/5/13. The only significant thing I can remember that happened on my computer around that time was some Windows updates on 12/11/13. I have no idea if that can affect iTunes or not. Looking at some of the other threads, some people had this problem on Apple computers, so I guess Windows updates could not have affected them.

IPad does not sync correctly with iTunes

Hey, I have a problem and would appreciate some help.
I have all my music library on itunes on my macbook (including some albums that I have created as compilations by collating multiple albums and for which I have edited the album cover photo ie selected a photo of my own). Some of the songs have been entered in my library by cds that I had and the rest by being purchased directly from itunes.
When I sync my itunes library with my ipods all is well and the albums, artists, playlists etc sync exactly the same (that is covers, tracks, order etc remain as shown on my library).
When I sync with my iphone 5S or my ipad air then I get strange... Some albums show correclty, others have a different cover photo - not the one that I have selected and edited on itunes - some have the tracks doubled or even the entire albums doubled, etc...
Although I have tried to solve this on my own, i have not managed yet...
BTW both my devices (iphone and ipad) sync automatically with icloud and so I only connect them to my macbook in order to sync the music. Maybe this is the problem?? Is there any way to have icloud NOT sync music with the devices?
On my macbook I have tried the ioption 'manage music manually' and then selecting the albums on my own but i get the same strange results.
Any ideas?
I even tried to erase all the music from my ipad/iphone (by selecting 'manage music manually' and then not selecting any of the albums or tracks in my library) but the music, at least part of it remains there... basically only the songs or albums purchased from itunes showing the icloud download icon next to them.
Any sugestions on how to solve this issue?
THX for your help,
Dimitris

Scrap that, it seems to have self remedied

Smart Playlists not syncing correctly to iPhone/iPad with iTunes Match

My manual playlists are syncing correctly to both devices, but smart playlists are a mess. They don't seem to match any criteria that they are created with, especially song limits. However, smart playlists are syncing correctly in iTunes on multiple computers. This is really frustrating because 99% of my playlists I listen to are smart ones. Anyone know of how to fix this? Apple, do you have any information on this or when it would be fixed?

Guys, I might have our "life savior" solution!!! (not 100% sure yet...)
I activated iTunes Match this morning.
Everything worked well apart from my smart playlists which cannot be found on my iphone/ipad anymore.
And yes, they relied on other lists...
BUT
A few smart playlists remained!!! (although they also rely on other lists)
So, after a bit of soul searching, here's my conclusion.
Those smart playlists that remained were actually dependant on "folders" which contain lists!
SO
I havn't tested yet (cause I'm at work), but if you put a list you wish to refer to in a folder, you should then be able to refer the smart list to the folder and not the actual list; and hopefully the smart list should then get synced!!!
Let me know if that works for you!

TS1638 Multi-day appointments not sync correctly with iPad and iPhone from Outlook 2007

Single day appointments I have in Outlook 2007 will sync properly. Repeated appointments i.e. ones that are several consecutive days sync 24 hours ahead or one day out. It can't be a time zone issue because single day appointment syncs correctly.

Some photos in iPhoto will not sync/copy to iPhone

I have an album in iPhoto that contains photos that will not transfer to the iPhone. There is no indication from phone or iTunes that there is/was any problem during the sync. I have tried the following:
Create new and different album with those pictures and resync
Create new album with 1 of the offending pictures, but even a single picture will not move to the phone
This problem has existed through several iOS, iTunes, and iPhoto transitions, including latest for each
iPhone has been wiped and completely restored
iPhone has been DFU reset (for a different problem)
Any help is appreciated

I seem to have figured this out, finally. I did the following:
Removed the pictures from iPhoto completely
Reimported them into iPhoto
Now the sync seems to work.
No idea why

Music not syncing correctly to iPhone 5.

I am having a very weird issue with iTunes/ my iPhone 5. I will use an album by Good Charlotte as an example. I can play the song "The River" in iTunes and it plays just fine, start to finish. But once the music is synced to my iPhone, it appears in the music area as expected. But, when I play "The River", around 2 minutes into the song, it will switch to another song, but still show "The River" at 2 minutes as if it is still playing, but a different song is playing. I have tried restoring my phone to factory settings and re-syncing the music to the phone, but this has not helped. It is not only Good Charlotte, I have found about 5 other artists that this happens to on my iPhone regularly. I know it is the syncing process that is causing the problem. I deleted the music from my phone, and re-downloaded them directly from the cloud to my phone and it got rid of the problem. I can't do this with all of the music I am having the problem with because there are MANY songs this is happening with and not all are in the cloud.

I have just started to have trouble playing my playlists on the iPhone. It started to shuffle them and when I turned shuffle off, it would only play one song over and over again. You have to open the iPod and manually advance to the next song. That is obviously unsatifactory. I downloaded the update on the iTunes software today. That did not correct the problem. I also restored the settings on the phone. It wtill will not play a playlist in the order I have it. There is some problem here. I would also be happy to hear a reply on this issue.

Ipod does not sync correctly with ITunes

Hello, and thanks in adavce for responding.
A couple days ago I connected my Ipod to a different PC with an older version of Itunes. I did not asociate the library nor synchronized the Ipod with it. When I connected my Ipod in my main PC where I keep my library, it seems as if it does not sync all my files correctly. For example, I have some TV shows in my library but they don't seem to transfer into my Ipod, when they used to before. I have the same problem with the photos. I have re-set my Ipod to factory settings a copule of times with different results. The first time, the photo's would not appear, and the second time, the TV shows did not. Furthermore, my ITunes library does not show photos anymore, but they do appear in the Ipod. It seems as if the Ipod is confused with ITunes, but I honestly don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

Jpeg's Did not sync correctly to iPhone..

What type of photo formats are supported

so total of my photos on iphoto are 1768, and i tried delete some of it, and when i sync back, i though oh maybe the space isnt enough ( worth to try though, cz i really dont know whats wrong) and instead of sync correctly, ITS NOT!!! its now sync only for 1683 photos, while on iphoto contains 1717 photos, and please i have 5,5 gb free space at the moment!
* i actually dont know how I gain so much free space after backup and restoring.

Itunes will not sync playlist with iphone

I have playlists currently synced with my iphone. I check another playlist to add and it and itunes goes through the syncing motions but does not add the playlist to the iphone. There is over 4gb of space and the mp3's are available on my pc. If I remove a playlist from the iphone it does get removed but it will not sync back. There are no errors displayed. Itunes 8.2.0.23 and Iphone os is 3.0.

I realize that but it does not Sync back when it has only Podcasts and if it has other then only the songs and not Podcasts sync back to desk. Songs work exactly as you describe.
My point is that at least I can go on a long hike without having to start each group of Podcasts Subscriptions after it finishes the episodes in the previous one. That can be a real pain, especially on long hikes with short Podcasts. It takes a very short time to set up the on the go. I DO NOT LIKE THIS but it seems the only answer for now.
I could restore the old version from my image backup then lose the neat new feature of arranging screens on the PC instead of the POD.
