ITunes 11.1 wont sync music to iPhone 4s

I'm having a problem with getting iTunes to sync music onto my iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1. Tried restarting both devices and it didn't help. Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
J_Workman

Hey everyone, I have also been having this problem and have finally found a solution that is not quite what anyone else has posted yet.
I actually haven't seen the "Syncing Music to iphone" since the new ios update so im quite happy..
Here are the steps that I took to solve:
1. Turned off auto lock and password on iphone 
2. After connecting iphone on the summary page the only three boxes I have checked are Automatically sync when iphone is connected, sync only checked songs and videos, manually manage music and videos
3. Now, click the On this iPhone tab. In the bottom right there are "setting" and "Autofill". Under "Settings" select replace all items when Autofilling. I also arbitrarily selected "reserve 1.12GB for disk use".
5. Then I clicked "Autofill" and selected Replace Songs.
6. Lastly I pressed "Sync" while I was still on the "On This iPhone" page.
7. I was actually about to leave the computer and then I saw something magical..."Syncing Music".....Holy Sh...!!!
Notes:On the iPhone: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, personal Hotspot and VPN are all disabled. I use PC. I have about 5000 songs. I do not use Match.
Before today I was also having a disc space issue with a large block of "other". I deleted the music data from my iphone and that fixed that problem, however, the phone was still not syncing the majority (4800 of 5000) songs.
I do not pay for icloud storage, I have never restored my iphone
*I also do not have the "Sync Music" box checked under the Music tab, however, simply doing this did not solve the problem

  • ITunes wont sync music to iphone

    Itunes newest version wont sync music or videos to my iphone 4.   it syncs apps but not music  this is weird.  anybody else have this issue after upgrading to 4.3.5?

    Wow!  Apple really doesn't give a flip, do they?  I wish I'd kept procrastinating about installing iTunes on my newer pc.  My old pc was out of room to sync again, so I'd put it off for months.  But, since I'd purchased quite a bit of music, I really wanted it backed up.  Finally got it to install, "synced" my phone, only to lose about half of my music.  At first, it was only the cd's I'd added.  So, I went back to my old pc to use the tried and true, and after updating iTunes, and syncing my phone on it, I lost even more songs - songs that I purchased on iTunes.  So, now Apple has virtually "stolen" my music.  They are committing theft.  If I can't get the songs off of my pc and onto my phone, then the songs are of no use to me.  I don't carry my pc around to play music.  Naturally, it failed to sync my most played songs.
    This is ridiculous!  I didn't even run out and buy the iPhone 5 the minute it came out.  I waited, I thought, for the bugs to be fixed.
    I went from over 2100 songs down to 362 songs on my phone.  Songs I purchased just a few months ago won't sync. 
    Samsung isn't outselling IPhones just because they have "new" stuff, they are outselling them because IPhones are a jip.  Unless this is fixed super soon, I'll never purchase another one.

  • Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

    itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
    also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
    plenty of available space on brand new phone
    IOS 7.0.4
    itunes 11.1.3.8

    After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and  I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

  • Itunes keeps turning on 'sync music' to iphone

    Everytime I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes will by itself toggle on 'sync music'. When I untoggle it and go back and hand add songs to the phone, it starts a sync process again and low and behold the sync music button is toggled on again! And the songs that I've just added by hand are removed from the phone again.
    I recently used the sync to be able to delate some songs that had auto-download to my phone when I upgraded it to iOS7. These songs weren't appearing on the list of music when I hooked my iphone up and I wasn't able to delete them striaght from the phone either. I turned the sync off as soon as I got the songs deleted so I could go back in and add only the small number of songs I wanted to be on my phone. 
    I'm really at wits end at this point. I'd stop plugging the phone into my computer if I could, but its my only means of charging at the moment. Anyone else have this problem?

  • ITunes 9.2 not syncing music with iPhone 3GS?

    I'm suddenly having trouble syncing music to my iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0.1.
    I have iTunes set up so that it will only sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. When I make any changes to the selections, iTunes remembers it (even after closing and re-opening) but when I use the sync button, the music or playlists do not transfer. I see iTunes backing up the iphone, transferring purchased items, syncing applications, and then it finishes without transferring anything else.
    Anybody seen this before?

    Disable your firewall and then try. Once synching begins, then enable your firewall. Simple.

  • ITunes crashes when I sync music with iphone.

    I use OS X Lion, iTunes 10.4 and iphones iOS 4.3.3. I've upgraded both iTunes and Iphone but nothing helps. I can sync everything but music. What's worse; when my iphone is connected it says that my music IS synced, but my Iphone says that there is no music on it. What to do?

    Wow, I just deleted my playlist that I had and that fixed the problem..

  • ITunes error -69 when syncing music to iPhone 6+

    Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.0.1.26. Factory reset iPhone. Restored iPhone from known good backup. Now trying to get all my music onto the iPhone. iTunes stops in the middle of the sync with this message: "iTunes could not copy [track info] to [iPhone 6+] because an unknown error occurred (-69).
    I factory reset iPhone after failure, tried again. iTunes still failed, reporting the same error, but in a different place during the sync.

    I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

  • Itunes 11.1.3 syncing music with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 help!!!

    The edited music I have in my iTunes library will not sync or transfer to the music on my phone. Such as editing "Artist, Artist Album, Title, etc." and this is very frustrating and annoying. Does anyone have any solutions? I've restored and took off my music twice and no changes from my library to phone have been made. Using Windows PC.

  • HELP ITUNES WONT SYNC MUSIC TO IPHONE...

    Hi,
    I have tried syncing my Itunes with my 3G Iphone as well as an older IPod and it won't complete the syncing phase.
    Itunes also freezes when I try and add new songs to the library. Sometimes if I go to add one song and then leave it for ages, this one song will be added in.
    When I try to sync the Iphone it keeps getting stuck at the "Determining tracks to sync" phase. It then freezes and I have to force Itunes to close as it stops responding.
    I have over 4000 songs in my library and about 700 on my phone in playlist and have tried syncing even just a few songs but it keeps freezing. I tried deleting all the music off my Iphone and syncing it without the music. The songs are now all deleted off the Iphone and I can't get them back on there.
    I have deleted the itunes.plist and it still won't sync. I have tried manually syncing as well, still with no luck.
    The only options I see I might have left are to restore the Iphone or reinstall Itunes. I am not confident with either options.
    I have the most updated software version both for the Macbook and also Itunes. I am out of warranty, it is only 2 years old though, otherwise I would have called Apple.
    Does anybody else have any ideas? This is the first time I have used this forum and I hope some good soul out there will have the answer.
    Thanks guys!! xoxo

  • ITunes wont sync music to iPhone 4

    Upgraded from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4 yesterday. iTunes will only sync 50 songs onto iPhone 4...and Ive tried both options of sync "entire music library" and "selected playlist,artist,albums and genres" and get the same results, only 50 songs actually synced to iphone. but itunes says that there is 2.64G on iphone. Any one have any ideas?

    Its not your phone that needs updating - its iTunes on your PC that needs to be 11.1

  • Itunes wont sync Music to Iphone 6 Plus

    I have just purchased an Iphone 6 Plus and have tried to restore the backup from my 5S. Everything syncs apart from the music. Music I have purchased and saved will sync but nothing else will.
    Searching the community posts I have followed every procedure that has been explained to no avail!
    I then rest the phone to factory settings, and just set up as a new phone, I then manually added everything and again itunes will sync everything apart from the music. I can add and take away films, ringtones, pictures with no problems but Music, it just doesn't seem to be interested in anything unless I have purchased the items.
    This includes me trying to manually add files as well as attempting to sync.
    I have also deleted the music from the settings before attempting to sync and this does not work.
    This has all started since the implementation of IOS 8. Having searched your forums this seems to be a popular problem with many reporting the same problem.
    Apple can you please sort this out!!!!!

    I have the same problem with the iphone 6. No matter what I do I cannot sync my music. I can download music I've purchased from Apple, but cannot sync, which means all of my other music is just stuck in iTunes. I'm going to try to call somebody, but if this isn't going to be resolved soon, my phone is going back. I don't need 128 G of empty space.

  • I have uploaded cds in itunes but they wont sync iver to i phone.  Can you help

    I have uploaded cds to itunes but they wont sync over to iphone.  Can you help

    Hi,
    the question is: does it play unter iTunes on your computer? If yes, then you have to convert the video in an iPad compatible format. You can do that within iTunes. Under iTunes click on the left side on "Movies" and find your video. Select it. Then find in the menu bar "Advanced" and the menu point "Create iPad or Apple TV version". Your computer will do the rest. When finished you should have two versions of the video, the original version and the new iPad version. Feel free to delete the original version, if you don't have any other need for it. The iPad version will play fine on your iPad.
    If your original video doesn't play under iTunes, you have to convert it to a Quicktime format first. In this case, please give us more details on the format your original video is stored in.

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • Itunes wont sync music to my devices

    once again iTunes seems to stop syncing music to my devices. they show up iTunes under the device's music library with dotted circles in front of them like they need to be downloaded. this is true with my iPhone 6, my iPod (an iPhone 4s) and my iPad air . what gives?

    Ctrl + B puts the top menu in place.
    View > Show Sidebar the devices when connected appear in the left hand window.
    Select your device and on the right hand side selecth the music page option. Tick Sync Music and then either sync it all if you have space or sync selected playlists etc.
    Select the Artists, Playlist, Albums Genre's you want and click apply bottom right
