ITunes 9 and iPhone 3.1 - music sync prob (artists not all shown)
Hello,
I'v updated to iTunes 9 und iPhone OS 3.1, went ok.
Most sync with iPhone did well, but in the music sync window not all of my artists show up. I compared and can not find a difference between tracks to artist that show up and others that do'nt (mp3, ID-Tag version 2.3,...).
Does anyone experience the same and/or has a solution to this?

Hello,
in the case where I can see the artist, album-artist is empty. So I tried to empty the album-artist in the not-visible case too. Result: now it was visible
Because there are artist-entries for sorting too, I tried this:
album-artist filled, but sorting-album-artist empty => it is not visible
album-artist empty, but sorting-album-artist filled =>
ergo:
1) there is a way to get these visible: leave the album-artist-fields empty !! (may use the sorting-album-artist-field at least)
2) the visibility of entries in the sync-list should not depend on the filling of the album-artist-fields
=> This should be fixed in the next update...

In addition, iTunes quits unexpectedly all the time.
I'mhaving a similar problem as well - when I try to import a CD to iTunes, it won't recognize the CD (It will not play any of the music from the CD, nor will it import it. I didn't have this problem with the previous iTunes, but the 11..0.2 version is giving me all kinds of problems ie., iTunes refusing to import it and iTunes giving me a message of not responding, requiring me to Force Quit in order to eject the disc. This new version of iTunes is a worthless POS in my opinion.

How can I delete a song off of my itunes and iphone without it re-syncing?
I have accidentally bought a song off of iTunes that is a fake. It was a total scam, but that is not my problem. I am having trouble deleting it off of my iTunes on the computer and my iPhone. When I delete it in the music folder on my PC, and in the purchased on the computer, it just redownloads every time I plug my iPhone in. I have deleted the song many times off of each device, but it appears every time when I sync them up. Any help on how to delete this?
Swipe left across the song in the Music app.

ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync
Hi,
I've been having this problem for many many years.
I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod. I have my iPod set to sync the entire library. All songs in the library are checked for sync as well. I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue. As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them. Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync? Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible? Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates. I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results. I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results. I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results. I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings. All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats. I don't use playlists at all.
If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know. I don't want to have to check every single file.
Thanks!Dougout78 wrote:

So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose! -

I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone. The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC. What's the problem? I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone. I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad. How do I see Photostream on my PC?
You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

Sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5
sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5
Restart your computer
While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck -
My computer's hardrive went bad an I had to get a new one. Now my computer has nothing on it and I had to reinstall itunes and i have no music or anything. So now I cannot sync my ipod or anything. Is there anything i can do to get all of my stuff back?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
When I sync my itunes and iPhone... most of the library still doesn't show up on my iPhone... how can i sync my entire library to my iPhone
Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -
I set up a playlist in itunes and when I try so sync it to my iphone, I get an error message "itunes could not copy "x" to the iphone "x" because a timeout error occurred. Using itunes 10.5.2.11 and Windows Vista 64. Any help? Thanks in advance!
I have the same question and the only reply I've found on the forum was "change the USB hub", which HASN'T worked. So I am accepting new suggestions. Tks!

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging. How can I get Itunes to recognize my devices (that have always been recognized until this latest software update)?
Hi there bowlerinager75,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues like the one you described, where your iOS devices are no longer recognized by iTunes on your PC.

I have to restore my iphone 4s becasue it is saying "disabled connect to itunes" and it's never been synced with itunes. However the sleep/wake button is broken on the phone is there still away to restore without using it?
You can try, but the problem with that is you need battery power in order to restore. Once your phone has enough power to restore, it will still show the same message. To get the phone into either recovery mode or DFU mode requires the ability to first turn the phone off. But, you've got nothing to lose, so you might as well give it a shot.
