ITunes 10.1.2 and iPhoto 8.1.2 Not Syncing Properly
I'm running iTunes 10.1.2 and iPhoto 8.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.6. I'm syncing to an iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4G.
I've discovered that photo syncing to both the iPhone and iPod Touch is not happening correctly. In fact, when I compare the Albums and Events listed in iTunes with the Albums and Events that actually exist in iPhoto, they are different. The albums and events listed in iTunes are from some time in the past (months ago). Any changes in iPhoto are not reflected in iTunes. Syncing the iPhone or iPod Touch does not work correctly when iPhoto is set as the source. I can successfully set a folder of JPEGs as the source, but iPhoto as a source doesn't work properly.
As per Apple's suggestion, I tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache from inside the iPhoto Library. This did not make any difference.
In fact, I've even deleted albums from iPhoto, yet they are still listed in iTunes. *The list of Albums and Events in iTunes photo syncing does not correctly reflect the actual contents of iPhoto*.
How do I fix the link between iTunes and iPhoto so that the Albums and Events are correctly updated?
Thanks.
I've since determined that the problem is not isolated to iTunes, and in fact the problem lies with iPhoto. As such, I've posted a new question within the iPhoto area:

ITunes 9 - 'last played' and 'play count' still do not sync on manual
Tonight I upgraded to iTunes 9 and my iPod Touch to v3.1.1 but the 'improved' sync doesn't seem to have improved to what I need.
Alright, basically I have a lot of rare songs and live recordings in my library. My iPod Touch is only 16gb and my music collection is just over 99gb counting all my audiobooks. From what I can tell iTunes 9 will let me sync my music library with only select artists, but even this doesn't allow for instances where I only want four or five songs out of an artist's forty or fifty songs.
The only way to put what I want on my iPod is to set it to Manually Manage my Music and Videos. That's okay with me BUT iTunes won't sync the 'last played' and 'play count' of songs that are on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
Can someone help me solve this issue? I want to be able to manually manage my music and videos AND have iTunes sync the play count and last played for the songs I listen to.If you manage the music on your iPod Touch manually the playcount and last played data does not get updated in iTunes. It works that way for all iPod models.
To solve this problem you can do the following:
- Create a playlist in which you add all the songs you want to add to your iPod Touch
- Set your iPod to sync music automatically. On the music tab configure the iPod Touch to only sync the previously created playlist.
- Sync your iPod Touch.
Now you can manage the content of your iPod Touch by managing the contents of the playlist and then sync. And most importantly it will update your playcount and last played data.
Hope this helps,

I just recently downloaded the newest iTunes and moved all my purchased and already owned music to another PC. Every since I did that I cannot get my iPad 1 to even be recognized in iTunes. I have Authorized the PC in iTunes, but my iPad still will not allow me to sync. I'm at a loss...PLEASE HELP!!!
1. You need to authorize iTunes on the new computer with your Apple ID.
2. Make sure you turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Connect your iPad to iTunes via USB and when it is recognized, right click on the device from the Device list on the left of your iTunes page and choose transfer purchases.
4. Once purchases are transfered and you have authorized the iTunes account, you should be able to sync. -
My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.
I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other. They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports. So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.
2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:

I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?
I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

I just bought a nano and am trying to sync to itune on my mac. It tells me I need the latest version of itune. When I try to download this it tells me I need a new OS. I have updated both and my nano still will not sync. Any suggestions?
Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers. -
Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.
Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?
No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

I lost all the songs on my itunes and now my phone will not sync with out loosing all my music
my computer hard drive crashed and i had to re download itunes and now my phone will not sync without erasing all my music
That is correct. The iphone will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer/library.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You will also need to enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the computer . When you first sync, you should get the option to merge. Otherwise this data will be erased as well.
Much easier to use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
Solutions?No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.
