ITunes and iPhone 5 not synching
I have done this probably 500 times in the last 10 years so I am not a rookie, but for some reason when I did it recently it basically removes 95% of the music files on my iPhone (titles still show but no mp3 actually there) and no files transfer from the computer during the synch. The computer reads that the phone is connected, it goes through a progression of steps, but what has been the final step (the files transferring to the phone) never occurs. All software updates have been done for both devices. Help!
Ok click on your device in itunes at the top right. Select Music and you will see Playlists, Artists and if you scroll down the page Genres and Albums. Select which ones you want for your phone and click the sync button bottom right.

Storage Breakdown On iTunes and iPhone Do Not Match Up
I will preface this question by providing the following information:
Computer Information
Model: MacBook Pro, mid 2009, 15 inch
Capacity: 1 TB
OS: Yosemite (10.10.1)
iTunes Version: 12.0.1.26
iPhone Information
Model: iPhone 6 Plus, purchased early 1/2015
Capacity: 128 GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
Okay here's the problem. I was attempting to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with my iTunes library. I have about 50 GB of music which I normally carry around on my iPhone, which amounts to about half of my total storage. On my latest sync, I was told in iTunes that I do not have enough space to complete the sync. Here's what the display looked like:
As you can see:
> The total capacity for audio is displayed as being 49.67 GB (aprox. 6889 songs).
> The total capacity for photos is displayed as being 6.89 GB (aprox. 10,647 photos).
> The total capacity for apps is displayed as being 5.04 GB (aprox. 110 apps).
> The total capacity for other is displayed as being a whopping 45.08 GB.
Upon seeing this, I'm shocked that the other category is taking up so much space. I immediately go to my iPhone to begin trying to eliminate things that could possibly be taking up all this space. When I take a look at my iPhone usage, I see this:
As you can see, the photos and apps are approximately correct, but the songs are way off. In addition, the free space I have on my iPhone according to iTunes is 6.12 GB. According to my iPhone though, I have 47.1 GB (see the screenshot of my iPhone above).
Essentially the storage breakdown on my iPhone and iTunes does not match up. I'm not sure how to fix this problem without restoring the phone, which I want to avoid doing if I don't have to.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is anyone aware of a possible solution?
Thanks.If it was an iOS bug I would expect to see it on the 3 devices I have upgraded to iOS 8. I don't see it on any. I would also expect there to be thousands of posts and views about it, as somewhere over 100 million users have updated. This is the only thread I have seen, and you are the only one posting about it.
Go to Settings/iCloud. Turn off Find my iPhone. Then go to Settings/general/reset - Erase all content and settings. Check your "Other". I would expect it to be minimal. -
Ipad and iphone do not synch with my imac via wifi; any ideas?
Synchronising my contacts on the iphone and ipad with my imac seems to require me to connect using USB, then open iTunes; neither will synchronise via wifi. I have set both the iPhone and iPad to synch automatically when connected to power and via wifi to the imac, but it doesn't work.
I am running MAC OS 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3. Can anyone explain what's wrong? thanksBluetooth Pairing is not available, apart from Airdrop.

I'm getting extremely frustrated with my iphone and mac.
i have the iphone 4, and the mac is leopard.
I plugged my phone it to manage my music, and a message popped up saying i needed software 10.6.8 or higher.
so i downloaded the 10.7. it's still not working!
i have very little space left on my phone and i need to manage everything.
what do i do??
someone please help!!!!We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue. -

I recently purchased music on itunes store and it will not synch to my iphone. It says it will not convert. The music will play in itunes but certain tracks from the album won't synch to my iphone.
Delete it and redownload from here:
Open iTunes Store app > More > Purchased > Music -
I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????
Have you tried

Iphone will not synch with itunes after downloading most recent itunes version
I updated to most recent version of itunes and since then my 3GS iphone will not synch with itunes. the phone is recognized by my windows computer but not recognized within itunes. I redownloaded itunes and Q but nothing. Can anyone help?
I have a Dell XPS 8500 with a 64bit i5 Processor and an Apple 4s and I have the same problem. I have been searching for days and can only get the phone recoginzed by disabling power to USB ports and there is no way I can get ITunes to show devices, so I can't see the IPhone. People say Apple monitors these sites but I haven't seen any response from a technical person. Have you? My hunch is they know about the problem but don't have a fix, and have other priorities for their team. If my hunch is correct, its quite extraordinay because I am close to selling my 4s and getting some phone which is easier to work with. Time is my scarcest resource and I have devoted way too much of it to this issue.
