ITunes doesn't sync all my contacts anymore

I used to sync my iPhone 3G with my MacBook Pro (Agenda, Mail, iCal) with no problem. Then items from agenda and iCal began to appear duplicated. Couldn't find how to get rid of duplicates, so I deleted them by hand (one by one!). Next sync ... and now I have 600 contacts in my Mac, but 295 in my iPhone; 928 songs in my Mac, but 915 in my iPhone). I've tried everything I can think of (basically changing settings and restoring my iPhone) but nothing happens. After some syncs even a message appeared: "iPhone can not be syncronized because a disk is needed" or something of that sort.
Anyone who can help? It would be REALLY appreciated!

Ensure that iCloud syncing is turned on on both devices.
Check your contacts are in the iCloud account in your address book and not in the On My Phone account. You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding the contacts back.
I checked on his User Tip note, and learned about iCloud accounts in Address Book. I realized I had iCloud contacts that were not in My Mac contacts... Don't ask me why, I swear I didn't create that iCloud account (at least I didn't do it knowingly, I don't use iCloud for I have an iPhone 3G). Anyways, I dragged all of my "iCloud contacts" to My Mac contacts... syncronized... solved. Thanks, Winston Churchill!

ITunes doesn't sync all my songs.

I've put some of the songs from my computer to iTunes, plugged my iPod Touch into the computer, iTunes has recognised the device, I've clicked on my iPod, gone to 'Music', selected 'selected playlists, artists and genres', 'include music videos', 'include voice memos' and then I've selected the artists and playlist I want to go on my iPod, then clicked 'Sync'. Out of the 165 songs in the playlist I synced, 11 songs haven't synced to the iPod, and about 5 or 6 of the different artists I selected haven't synced to the iPod. A few of the artists/songs, I've been able to sync before, whereas some of them, I have tried time after time and they've never been synced, but since I updated my iPod and iTunes, through iTunes, they're not all syncing.
So I went to www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch and searched all over apple's support pages, but could find nothing to help me, even though there was mention of help with syncing problems on the iPod Touch support page (underneath the link from said page to the troubleshooting assistant it said 'resolve common syncing and network issues and more' but all it gave me on those pages was the regular advice, which I'd already tried, like restart the computer, check the USB port, ect)
Any idea why I'm having these problems?

A video that previously synced now isn't, also.

ITunes doesn't sync all contacts

Hello everyone!
I have a small issue with syncing my contacts: The thing is, I would love to send someone a message through the new Message app for the mac. However, the number of that person was missing in the Message app. Well I was sure that the app takes the contacts from the address book and that's where I went to check - and indeed, that person is not in my address book. My address book says I have 208 numbers whereas my iPhone says I have 220. I found it strange because I sync my iPhone almost every day. However my iPhone reached its capacity limit today and I thought that might be causing some problems maybe? So I removed over 3000 photos and synced again - but nothing. Just won't sync those 12 missing contacts.
Can anyone help?
All help is appreciated
greets
PS: I have the iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

ITunes doesn't sync all my music to my iPhone

When I sync my iPhone with iTunes 11 via usb, I go to "On This iPhone" and some of the songs are grayed out and have a circle next to them, and are not on my iPhone. How do I fix this?

I've tried all the suggestions on here, but without any success. However, what I did find was that the 'missing' CDs are in fact on my iPhone (I did a spotlight search) and have been imported, but just don't show up on my iTunes!!!
Another baffling Apple anomaly. I must say that iTunes in general is very poor. Transferring from iPhone to iPhone is often made very difficult. Music bought and paid for via iTunes can not be listened to on non-Apple products, yet if it is downloaded illegally and for free it can be listened to on anything (explain that one). And lo and behold if your PC which has your iTunes on it breaks (which they do) or needs replacing. In most cases, you lose everything.
It's the typical attitude of a manufacturer which has got far too big for its boots and thinks it can do anything and we will all keep buying. Look at Ericsson and Nokia (in Europe at least). Even the design of the phone is very out-of-date now. Check out the Sony Z1 to see real innovation.
This will be my last iPhone if it stays like this (which I suppose it will). I'm off to Android. Much easier, less big brother and much more fun.

IMac doesn't sync all my contacts to iPhone 4

My iMac syncs only a part of my contacts to my iPhone 4

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).

ITunes doesn't sync some apps to iPhone

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5. After that iTunes doesn't sync anymore some apps to phone. When I try to sync them to iPhone, in the end on syncing iPhone shows a message, that the installing of that app was unsuccesful. iTunes doesn't say anything about that. The problem occurs with about a half of apps which I have on my computer. There isn't anything error code or something like that, phone simply says that installing was unsuccesful. The messages comes always when the app is loaded to phone and phone tries to install that.
I have latest version of iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on phone. I have tried booting phone and computer. What is the problem, that some apps doesn't simply get installed to phone? I think it doesn't matter if the app is mine or my friend's, because some of his apps get installed and some not, same thing with my apps.
I'll be thankful for help

It just keep repeating all over again & again.. All the apps can't sync back into the phone even i authorised it. But i can still download from the app store thru my iphone but when i wanna sync with my itunes again, the same things appear again..

My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

IOS7 syncing with MS Outlook 2010 no longer syncs all the contact information

With the new iOS7 on an iPhone 4s, syncing with MS Outlook 2010 on win XP, the phone no longer syncs all the contact information as it used to before I updated to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1, and now ignores the "Home" addresses I have on Outlook. It also apprears to miss some other bits of information too, but the home addresses are key for when I am away from the computer. How can I resolve this syncing error? Thank you.

The same thing is happening to me since upgradng to iOS7, although I am syncing contacts with Mac contacts, not Outlook.

ITunes doesn't sync my iPhoto photos to my iPhone.

iTunes doesn't sync my iPhoto photos to my iphone, it says that is missing an file.
When I sync my iPhone with iTunes appears a messeage saying that is missing a file and it's impossible to sync the iPhoto photos.

Was trying to fix my iphoto albums when I synced with itunes, I got a message saying that the iphone cannot sync because a required file cannot be found. I have tried restoring to original firmware, I have also tried the trouble shooting advice about ticking off the photos sync, unplugging the phone, then deleting the ipod photo cache and then reconnecting with itunes and checking the photos sync button again, all to no avail. I still can't restore my photos on my iphone4. No help still?

Itunes doesn't sync due to lack of memory

Hi, my iTunes doesn't synch my ipod touch anymore due to the fact that the ipod lacks the memory to import. In the past, it would make a special playlist for my ipod, but iTunes doesn't even give this option anymore.
Does anyone have an idea how i can force itunes to make this playlist again?
Sorry for my crappy english, but i'm not used to typing english anymore

Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist you could adapt this example to suit the capacity of your iPod (this one is for a 4GB Model). Go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Itunes doesn't sync Anything but it recognizes my iphone 4

itunes doesn't sync anything. but it recognizes my iphone!
And also uninstalled and installed itunes. still the same. itunes finds the devices, starts with the backup and stops always at step 5 (out of 7). It doesn't sync anything, no music, no apps..
it always stops after:"..to determine apps for synchronisation"

There is no option like "sync all photos"
There is option for "All folders".
Am i correct?
