ITunes 10.5 just will not Sync correctly/at all

Over hours and hours and hours I have been failing with this.
First my iPhone with iOS 5 would not sync anything - it says it has, gives no error, but just gives me Ghost images on the iPhone with nothing in them.
Finally got my music synced by disconnecting the iPhone from iTunes, resetting it away from it, so to make it think it was brand new, and the music went in... slowly.
But now it refuses to Sync Photos of Books - just takes a long time (an hour?) trying to do something, then with no error, finishes. Again, ghost photo/folders, but no photos in them, and books still in "ready to sync" stage.
This is with a cable, I haven't got as FAR as trying Wi-Fi yet. Okay, so iOS hasn't bricked my phone, but... close!
Apple, can we get a HUGE fix for this NOW please, otherwise I may as well sink my iPhone into the ground and stick to pen and paper, and the house phone.
Such wonderful dreams... such Epic Fails. Fundamental operations. iMessage works great! But I can't Sync!
Anyone else? I know there are many out there.
I have done the following:
- Reset iPhone many times
- Unistalled all Apple products from my Windows 7 PC many times, and reinstalled afresh from downloaded installer (not the Apple Updater)
- Deleted iPod Photo Cache folder serveral times
- Unticked all Sync Options, resynced, and reticked and resynced, many times
- Hard reset iPhone
- Yank cable out with force of a million-men's anger, managing not to break it in the process, and shoving it right back in there
- Screaming at iTunes
- Yelling at iPhone
- Smoking Angrily in the night, and day
- Searching Google for anything that might resemble an answer
- Reading a book to calm me down
- Bought more tobacco to calm me down
- Ranted on email, Twitter and Facebook
- Asked it nicely
Please someone... give me Sync!

please help me guys

    Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

  • ITunes 10.4.1 will not sync any of my devices

    iTunes 10.4.1 will not  sync any of my devices:  iPhone; iPad; nano.  there is not a "devices" caption on the left column, etc.  HELP!  sincere thanks.

    Syncs pictures and apps. I actually found one album that will sync. Others ... nada. Can't see any difference between those files and the others.
    Reset sync history, saw that in another post, to no avail.
    Strangely enough, songs will sync to iPod, but not complain.

  • ITunes 11.0.1 will not sync iPhone 5 and iPad

    ITunes 11.0.1 will not sync either my iPhone 5 or ipad.  After a sync attempt, a box appears which says the device cannot be read or written to.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

  • I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync vers

    I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
    I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
    Nothing works. Please help.

    Hi mongoose00318,
    On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
    NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
    Does this help?

  • My apps on my iTunes, on my computer will not sync onto my iPhone 4s. HELP PLEASE!

    My apps on my iTunes, on my computer will not sync onto my iPhone 4s. HELP PLEASE!

    Is your iPhone's name listed under DEVICES in iTunes?

  • HT1386 selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to iPad

    selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to ipad

    Might there be an ownership issue --- such as:
    Might the tunes that do not sync to the iPad have been purchased using a different Apple ID and password than are either used on the iPad or authorized on the computer's iTunes?
    Remember, purchased music is protected.  It cannot be indiscriminately shared.

  • My iphoto will not open correctly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  What do I need to do to open my iphoto?

    My iphoto will not open correctly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  What do I need to do to fix this?  I would like to be able to see my photos again.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I just bought an audio book from iStore, it is in my iTunes under "audiobooks" but will not sync with my iPod Classic, any ideas?

    I have downloaded several audiobooks from audible and they have synced fine with my iPod but this book from the Apple Store will not sync from my iTunes to my iPod.
    I am also having an issue with iTunes U; I have subscribed to the two classes I am taking this term and downloaded the videos to iTunes but when I sync my iPod classic I keep getting this error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." I'm not sure what is going on because I have used this feature on my iPod classic before and it worked fine.

    Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
    As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

  • New Ipod Touch will not sync correctly

    I had an Ipod Classic that was recently stolen, apparently by AirTran employees.  Anyway, I got a new iPod Touch to replace it and it will not sync.
    There are problems even getting it to connect.  The first time I got it connected, I thought it synced.  I could see the list of songs, but I couldn't get any of them to play.  I finally realized that they were greyed out and not clickable.
    I hooked back up to iTunes and tried again.  It seems like it is syncing some songs, but times out. 
    Apple Support said to disable the antivirus and firewall on my Windows 7 PC.  This does seem to help some, but it doesn't solve the problem.  I've gotten a lot more songs synced, but not all of them.  It syncs some of them and then stops. 
    What is more, it always gives a different number of songs to sync.  It has been as high as 900+ and is now down to 121 of 229 and frozen again.  Total songs in my library is about 3000.  I'm guessing that the number (229) is the remaining number of unsynced songs, but I'm not sure.  At times it seems almost random.
    Sometimes the sync just stops and sometimes iTunes totally freezes as it has now.  I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes.  I reinstalled it yesterday when I was having problems with my iPad (a totally different issue:  It crashed after I installed OS 5.  That is fixed now though.)

    I have run into that problem before, but that is not what I'm currently seeing.
    As an update, I finally did get the iPod to sync.  It would time out after syncing for a while, but with repeated syncs it finally loaded my full collection of music, etc.
    A recurring problem is that when I want to sync, often the iPod will not show up as being connected to iTunes even though it is connected to the computer.  It often takes multiple attempts at connecting and rebooting to get connected so that I can sync.

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

  • ITunes 11.1.1 will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to applied"

    iTunes 11.1.1 running on MacBook Air will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to be applied". I have been having this issue since upgrading to 11.1. I thought the upgrade to 11.1.1 will take care of it

    Yes, my iPhone 5 running ios 7 will not sync in *any* way with itunes now.  I can neither add nor remove content via itunes.  I just tried to delete 100% of my music from my iphone, it hung forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then when it was finally done... no changes had been applied.
    I can't add, remove, change, delete or in any way of any kind sync my iphone with itunes any longer.
    I'm becoming the person who refuses to update to the new Apple OS.  I used to get very excited about new OS updates.  That all ended around Mountain Lion.  Yesterday when I saw that Mavericks was out I wasn't excited.  Instead I felt a sense of dread, and for good reason.  Every time they release an OS in the last few years it's just a cluster-F.
