ITunes content sync-removal issues

Is there any way to resolve the following issue regarding my iPod touch and iTunes?
(iPod touch is 5th generation, running iOS 7.1.2)
(iTunes is 11.3.1)
I've unchecked music and photos (from iPhoto) in iTunes, and told iTunes to remove the content from my iPod touch. Additionally, my iPod touch still has events from iPhoto that I've long since deleted (including the photos in said events). iTunes hasn't removed those events, nor any event after unchecking photos in iTunes, and the music still remains on the device. Before the last sync session, my iPod touch was showing duplicates of just about every song synced to it.
I've had these problems twice. Is there a way to fix this without restoring the iPod touch?

Hi ipodfreak110,
It is possible that resetting the iPod touch may resolve your issues. See this article -

My itunes stops syncing and doesnt get to the copying to iphone part???? help please

im trying to sync my music and i press entire library and press sync and it says its preparing to sync etc and then it doesnt actually sync it skips to waiting to appy changes and then it goes blank and does nothing, please help ive been doing this for the past 5 hours

Well, music on your phone won't get to your computer that way. The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone, & no iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup.
Is this purchased iTunes content? If so, just re-download it from the iTunes store to your computer.

Can I reset iTunes app sync to copy phone apps to computer not viceversa

Hi,
I haven't been syncing apps since christmas (can't remember why i stopped...), but now I want to back up the apps and of course iTunes will only sync one way, overwrite phone with apps on computer
Is there any way to reverse the sync so that the apps on the phone overwrite those stored on computer?
thanks,
Scott

No. The iTunes content sync is one way: Computer to Phone. For purchased content on your phone, not in your iTunes library: iTunes running, phone connected, File>Transfer Purchases. From there, select what content you want on your phone & sync.

IOS5/Itunes 5 sync issues - music greyed out, not syncing across

Hello,
I am having issues syncing music from iTunes to my iphone and ipad. I use autofill, but have had the same issue when using the sync all music option. All the files are listed in the music tab under the device, but half are greyed out and unplayable on the device (they are greyed out on the device too). There is a sync icon next to the files, but clicking on it does nothing.... I did a clean restore to ios5 and it copied my apps over, but none of my music, pictures etc. This is really annoying can anyone help?
IOS5 GM
Itunes 5

I have been fighting this problem with both my iPhone, my partner's, and my nephew's. It seems to have something to do with music purchased in iTunes vs. music that is ripped, since all my ripped music transfers fine and stays put.
On the other hand, downloaded content shows up doubled (one black, one grey) when I look at my music through the iTunes, just like that screen cap. As long as there's a "black copy" showing, it plays fine on my iPhone 4s, but I find I have to remove the greyed out copies manually and then manually transfer from my iTunes library or from the purchased option on the phone itself. In other words, if the music on the phone in only greyed out copies, and it's not on the phone, it doesn't transfer manually unless I first delete the greyed out versions. -- And then the greyed out versions magically reappear after it contacts the cloud and backs up.
I also sometimes end up with doubled copies, and my albums don't all sort the way they should -- so for example some Diane Schuur shows up under the artist name, and some shows up under albums. To put it all together I had to make a playlist, which is stupid.
Finally, there are some 46 items it tries to sync everytime I do any wi fi syncing of anything with my phone. I have no idea what that is.
I'm tempted to wipe and let all iTunes content be restored from the iCloud, a process that would require an overnight restore. I'm guessing that might solve the problem, but why should it all be this hard? Does Apple look at these comments, because I notice there are several different threads on this site concerning the music app and the iTunes/syncing issue?

Streaming issues: iTunes content suddenly not showing up???

AppleTV is showing up in the devices list in iTunes, but it suddenly won't display any of my non-synced content.
Everything was working perfectly and without any changes being made to anything, the next time i fired up the AppleTV later the same day - no content was being displayed.
I restarted the AppleTV, restarted my router (though clearly it's on the network since it's showing up in iTunes), restarted my computer, reopened iTunes, unlinked and relinked to iTunes all to no avail.
Just to see if iTunes and the AppleTV could "talk" to one another, I tried syncing some new content to it that I was previously only streaming, and the sync worked fine - so I can't figure out what the problem is. It's clearly on the network and iTunes can clearly still communicate with the device because a sync worked fine.
Any insight??? All of the answers I've found deal with the AppleTV not showing up in iTunes but, again, that isn't the problem here.

I am having a similar issue, but am getting this all the time: we stream iTunes content and it starts off okay, but in middle of movie or podcast it loses its connection. We have tried most things, checked what was advised above, tried it with ethernet cable and wireless, even had a new Apple TV few weeks ago, but it's still the same problem. We then have to disconnect iTunes again on AppleTV, remove AppleTV from itunes, then add shared iTunes library with the steaming code again and it works for about 15 minutes.
Can't think of anything else anymore!
Anyone has any other suggestions?

My iTunes content will not sync to my iPhone 4 even though it shows that it is syncing, content is not on the phone.

My iTunes content (music) will not sync to my iPhone 4. It shows as syncing on my computer (windows) but does not show up on the phone.

Hey there @Robalina Welcome to the community!
I have a guide that I will post below for you, that should help you connect your printer and Zeen to your wireless network. Follow the steps and you should be wireless in no time!
If your printer and Zeen are connected to your network, the issue could be the web browser you are using to connect to the sites you wish to visit. You can also try using a different web browser.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

Hello,
Did you ever find a solution for this ?
I have the same issue and i dont know how to fix it.

How do I remove my Itunes content and put it on another computer?

How do I remove my itunes content from one computer and put it on another?

This is not a massively difficult process and there are several ways to do this.
In fact you can keep iTunes on more than one computer (up to a max of five computers) and sync them via iCloud/iTunes Match providing you pay the annual subscription fee.
Also you can transfer files between computers by enabling Home Sharing on both PC's and drag and drop files via your iTunes side panel or alternatively you can copy the iTunes folders/library from one PC to the Other over a network and import the files manually via "FILE... add folder or add files"...
Easiest way I think is to ensure that both librarys are on the same drive (ie C Drive) and in the same folder (ie C:\Music) .. you can however use one PC's only to sync your iphone/ipad/ipod to ... otherwise you have to delete and resync and backup/restore your devices each time you switch between the PC's.
Hope that helps

Recent iTunes syncing Photos issue

Hi all,
Recently I've been having issues syncing iPhoto albums to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It results in an error such as :-
"The <device> cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This usually is during the import phase of the process despite me deleting all the photos in my device, therefore nothing to import.
The AppleTV (Gen 1) is somewhat more descriptive by explicitly stating "iTunes cannot sync to the Apple TV <ATV name> because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to.".
I'm inclined to think this only started happening with the latest version of the iPhoto 9.3 with Aperture 3.3.1 integration. Meanwhile my iTunes is 10.6.3.
Is this a known bug? Has anyone else seen this issue?

That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

ITunes content on my NAS syncs very slowly

I have my itunes content on a link station duo. I can pay music and movies just fine but syncing takes forever. Any ideas?

When you removed and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in the support document? Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 If not, that can create its own set of problems. What kind of anti-virus software are you using on the computer? Have you tried to disable the firewall and anti-virus software? Do you have a passcode on the device? If so, do you unlock the phone before you attempt to sync? Others have reported this helps. You say the iPad has started to display this behavior. Have you done anything different to it or the laptop just prior to this starting? Are you logged into the computer as an administrator?

ITunes Wifi Sync issue

Hi,
I canceled a wifi sync session (pressing the x in the area in which iTunes shows what it is currently syncing to/from my iPhone) and ever since doing so my iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes.
It doesn't show up on the device list.
Things i tried:
1.     Quit iTunes (Finder > iTunes > Quit iTunes)
2.     Restart computer
          --> also restarted the iPhone before trying again
3.     plugging in the USB cable.
4.     Go to Preferences --> Devices --> option "prevent iPod, iPhone, iPad to sync automatically" isn't checked.
          --> Makes sense, since my iPad is connected and syncing properly. Double checked it anyway.
5.     Searched on Google: not finding anything useful. searched on words like: osx + itunes + wifi sync + not showing
System spec's:
iMac 27" 3,4 GHZ i7, 16GB ddr3, SSD. OSX Lion 10.7.2 installed. iTunes 10.5.2 (11) installed. Latest updates installed, completely updated.
How do i fix this issue ?

You may want to try uninstalling the security software or following along with Apple's article.

I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
- reset
- fully charged,
- cable works fine on two other computers
- in normal or disk mode makes no difference
- tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
- reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
- I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
- I've never used any Mac with this ipod
- I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
- uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
- Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!
