I Am having problems syncing and now, after the final solution of resetting, of accessing my music. When I try syncing again, iTunes tells me it can't sync because I am over capacity (which I am not).
What is going on? Was working perfectly up to this weekend, now the whole package has gone out the window.
even having problems with Syncing my iPad
ANyone help?

  • ITunes sporadically does NOT sync with iPhone due to low battery?

    I use my iPhone at work for most of the day as my iPod. If I don't sync during lunch (which requires that I bring my MacBook to work), at the end of the day the play count and last played date don't sync - which is aggravating as I use smart playlists based upon those conditions to keep the tracks I'm listening to continuously rotating.
    As most of these tracks are lecture series, it's frustrating to "lose track" of where I was in the lecture series when the play count and last played date aren't updated properly.
    The only thing I can think of as a contributing factor is the low battery life of the iPhone when not synced/charged mid-day. Can anyone verify this behavior? Does anyone know of a fix?

  • ITunes album metadata not syncing with iPhone

    iTunes 11.1.2
    iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.3
    I purchased an album from the iTunes store, which is actually 3 albums in 1.
    Once downloaded, I set about changing the metadata so that the albums appear as 3 seperate albums under the one artist. All good - until I sync with my iPhone, when (on the iPhone) the metadata reverts to the original iTunes Store metadata and back to 1 album with all the tracks from the 3 albums out of chronological order ie. track 1, 1, 1, track 2, 2, 2 etc...! Grrrr
    Have deleted ALL unecessary metadata fields on all tracks, just leaving the genre, the artist name, each album name and turned off any 'compilation' options. No joy and still shows as 1 album on my iPhone.
    Any solutions???
    Thanks in advance...

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

    I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

    I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

  • Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

    Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
    Solution
    Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
    Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
    Open folders view on Outlook
    Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
    Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
    Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
    If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
    I moved events in this order
    -Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
    - Monthly recurrences
    - weekly recurrences
    - Daily recurrences
    All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
    If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
    I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
    If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
    Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
    Fixed so far
    XP Pro / Outlook 2008
    XP Pro /Outlook 2003

    I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.

  • New contact on mac does not sync with iphone via iCloud

    Contacts added to On My Mac don't sync, add it to the iCloud account, on your Mac.

    text on ipad not syncing with iPhone at all times

    Same with me. It used to be that Books would sync with my iPhone, but it seems that since IOS 5 came out they don't sync any more. Everything else syncs fine through iCloud; iPhone 4s & IPad 2.

  • Microsolft 2003 calendar not syncing with iphone (using itunes)

    Basics: I have Win XP Pro, I use Microsoft 2003, I have an iphone 3G, and I sync my contacts, calendar, and notes using itunes 9.0.3. I don't use Outlook mail and don't sync using MS Exchange -- I just connect my iphone to the computer using a usb and sync with itunes.
    Up until a week or two ago, I had no problems syncing. Now, while contacts and notes syncs fine, calendar does not sync at all (in either direction), even though itunes says it's "syncing calendar". I know this is not new (I see many posts about this), and I have scoured the discussion pages for advice already and tried everything I could. I looked at the following apple troubleshooting page and tried everything there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1692. Specifically, this is what I have already done and nothing has worked:
    * I uninstalled the newest version of itunes (as well as quick time, bonjour, and the other software components that apple recommended I uninstall) and reinstalled 9.0.3
    * I uninstalled my Outlook 2003 and reinstalled
    * From itunes preferences, under devices, I "reset sync history" (and I have continued to do this before syncing after I try something new)
    * From itunes help, I ran "diagnostics" for "iphone sync tests" and no problems were noted. I have done this several times.
    * From within Outlook help, I ran "detect and repair" and no problems were noted
    * From within Outlook tools and advanced options, I clicked the "COM add-ins" button and removed 3rd party software
    HOWEVER...the apple troubleshooting page referenced above suggested syncing content in a new user window, and that DID work! Moreover, when I copied my original Outlook.pst file to the new user account, the trouble starts again and no calendar syncing. And to continue the test, when I remove the original Outlook.pst and put back the new Outlook.pst file in the new user window, it works again. And for the final test, when I copy the new user Outlook.pst file to my main/real user account, the sync works perfectly. All this indicates the original Outlook.pst file is corrupted.
    HOWEVER, Apple offers NO advice as to what to do next. The following is quoted from their troubleshooting page:
    "Once you are logged into the new user account, create a few test contacts and/or calendar events in your compatible application of choice and attempt to sync that data to your iPhone or iPod touch. Does this newly created data sync properly? If so, you likely have an issue with your content in the original user which you will need to isolate."
    Sooooo...what to do now? How do I "isolate" the problem any further?
    Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

  • Itunes will not sync with iPhone or ipad

    My ipad or iphone will not sync with my Macbook pro. This is the first "windoze" type I have ever had with an apple product. Been using them since Mac SE.
    Help!
    Itunes hangs if opened but does not hang if I connect as a guest on my macbook. I have deleted libraries, reinstalled Itune but nothing changes.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

  • Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

    Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network.  The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start.  With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
    Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes.  Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
    Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

    Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

  • Itunes keeps saying this computer already authorized, but will not sync with iphone ?

    Itunes will not sync with my IPhone 5s any longer.  It keeps saying that my PC is unauthorized.  But, when I go to authorize, it says it's already authorized, but of course, will not sync even though it's logged in and authorized.  ????  *** ?

    Usually that means you have content, such as apps or media, on the mobile device that was acquired from Apple under a different Apple ID than the one you're using with iTunes. The only way out is to remove that content, or else to sign in to the iTunes Store with the other ID.
