Itunes doesnt sync videos to iphone 4s

I am able to view the itunes videos in my computer but not able to sync to my iphone 4s. I have checked the format is in mp4 and dimension is 640x480. Why is it not working? It used to be fine before all the OS upgrading, can apple do something about it.

Being an mp4 isn't enough. To play on a 4S requires (from http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html):
"Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format".
It's possible the videos you have are in a .mp4 container but don't meet the other specs. There's lots of 3rd party applications that will convert videos to be compatible with an iPhone. You may have to find one of these and convert your videos first.

Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
plenty of available space on brand new phone
IOS 7.0.4
itunes 11.1.3.8

After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not. The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right. While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour. This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation. I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not. It's this second step that causes the confusion. Nothing lets you know to wait that process out. I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

How do i get my itunes to sync to my iphone 4s

how can i get my itunes to sync to my iphone 4s

Sync what?
You need to provide a little more detailed info.
What are you trying to sync, what are your selections under the appropriate tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for the items you are wanting to sync, and what happens when syncing?

None of my iPhoto Albums appear in iTunes for syncing with my iPhone

I have dozens of Albums in iPhoto. When I open iTunes to sync with my iPhone, NONE of my iPhoto albums (none of my Aperture albums, for that matter) are present. I cannot figure out why not, nor do I see any discussions of this problem. HELP!!!!

moabCowboy,
Is there a particular reason you are using an alias to repoint the iPhoto Library, instead of telling iPhoto to look directly to the library on the other drive?
If not, you can tell iPhoto to look at the iPhoto Library on the other drive directly by holding down the option key when you launch iPhoto.
The iPhone does require iPhoto 4.0.3 to sync photos from iPhoto to the iPhone.
If still not showing up to sync photos over, this article has additional troubleshooting steps for when iPhoto apps don't show up in iLife applications:

HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician. At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder. All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again. I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS. What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems? Reboot! It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer. I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

Sync video from iPhone 4 to iTunes..?

I've just got my new iPhone 4 (upgraded from iPhone 2G) and it's superb!
I recorded my first video today but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to sync into iTunes. Everything else works fine.
I'm quite sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious here but does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Page 122 of the manual:
"Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer
You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on
your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.
Upload photos and videos to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.
Â Mac: Select the photos and videos you want and click the Import or Download
button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
Â PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application.
If you delete the photos and videos from iPhone when you upload them to your

ITunes 11 sync problems with iPhone 5 and ios 7

I just installed itunes 11 and it iTunes will no longer sync with my iPhone 5. It would say that it was syncing and then the new files would not be transferred. I uninstalled and re-installed. All of my files were present in iTunes. I would try to sync again and now it tells me I need 500 MB of space to complete the sync I am only trying to sync 9 new songs. No way its 500 MB. Besides the bar at the bottom of itunes says I have 3.2 GB of space. Is anyone else having trouble with the new iTunes?

Ok folks .. here is the solution that has finally worked for me. After spending over 45 days on and off the phone with Apple support, this is the work around solution for the ibooks.
Set your IPAD as new and go through that whole set up process. Plug in your device so it can communicate with iTunes. When you load your books from iTunes to the IPAD do not synic the first time. You will have to drag and drop from iTunes the books/music you want loaded. After you manually do this, the synic seems to work fine.
Also things I have found. By dragging and dropping the volume of books I have. It took less time to load on my IPAD then it did trying to synic and waiting over 24 hours to load in IPAD (at which time you can't touch your device). It was during this huge file load that the Ibooks App/iTunes/Cloud and whatever other Apple software all talk, that the books being loaded start to go squirrely and go into limbo.
Here is the problem. When you get the message "waiting for files to copy", itunes and your device are having an issue. So files that iTunes thinks it has copied over, actually go into limbo and sit there greyed out and won't work on your device. When you try to re-synic again, iTunes says "hey! I have already copied these over" and will sit there on "waiting for files to copy".
A way to fix the files that are in limbo, delete your app and re-download it. The files that moved over from iTunes to your device will still be there, however, the files that are in limbo will disappear. This should stop the synic issue ... or it will identify that there are issues with some of your files.
Is this a great fix ... nope!   I pushed and pushed to be allowed to talk with someone from DEV and got stonewalled. I even brought in their Customer Support from Corp Head office and got absolutely no where.
BOTTOM LINE: iTunes and your devices can not handle a huge transfer of files from iTunes to the device and it creates this limbo "waiting for files to be copied". I find this ironic, because I have never had this problem when it comes to my music (transfering from iTunes to my IPOD), however, I haven't synic that device in awhile, guess i am scared it will do the same crap.
I also got Apple to acknowledge that when they test out their new software upgrades and devices that they ONLY test with iTunes Store only products (ie: music/books/apps). Infact, Apple DOES NOT test any outside source materials. I found this rather pathethically sad, since 99.9% of the users of any devices get their music/books from sources OTHER then the Apple Store. This means that a file that USED to work for you (example: a song) and was loaded on your device fine before all these software upgrades in Nov/2013 might not work anymore because of a change they have made in their software.
Last conversation I had with Apple (both Support and Customer Service) was them telling me that DEV was looking into the problem but did not have an ETA on when a fix would happen.
Also keep in mind, I found that even with a 128kg AIR, it doesn't like to hang alot of books.   I found that at around 3k in books, the device starts to freeze up. This contradicts the Apple concept, that the device can hold as many songs/books as you want, until you reach the max room available on the device. I can clearly tell you this statement is infact false. The device does not like to hold that many files and it starts to delay on you (quite noticeable) at 3k.
So, that in a nutshell has been my experience with Apple Support. 45 days later, I have reset my Air 10 times, tried to load all my books (at one time) 9 times, to finally find that the only way to get them in was a drag and drop the alphabetic (one letter at a time) and let it load on the IPAD before I would drag and drop more. The synic problem doesnt happen anymore, I had to eliminate 2 books that itunes just would not send over to the IPAD even though there was nothing wrong with the file. Am I happy?   NOPE ... talk about bait and switch.
Consumers beware ... Apple doesn't necessarily deliver what it says it will.

ITunes wont sync music to iphone

Itunes newest version wont sync music or videos to my iphone 4. it syncs apps but not music this is weird. anybody else have this issue after upgrading to 4.3.5?

Wow! Apple really doesn't give a flip, do they? I wish I'd kept procrastinating about installing iTunes on my newer pc. My old pc was out of room to sync again, so I'd put it off for months. But, since I'd purchased quite a bit of music, I really wanted it backed up. Finally got it to install, "synced" my phone, only to lose about half of my music. At first, it was only the cd's I'd added. So, I went back to my old pc to use the tried and true, and after updating iTunes, and syncing my phone on it, I lost even more songs - songs that I purchased on iTunes. So, now Apple has virtually "stolen" my music. They are committing theft. If I can't get the songs off of my pc and onto my phone, then the songs are of no use to me. I don't carry my pc around to play music. Naturally, it failed to sync my most played songs.
This is ridiculous! I didn't even run out and buy the iPhone 5 the minute it came out. I waited, I thought, for the bugs to be fixed.
I went from over 2100 songs down to 362 songs on my phone. Songs I purchased just a few months ago won't sync.
Samsung isn't outselling IPhones just because they have "new" stuff, they are outselling them because IPhones are a jip. Unless this is fixed super soon, I'll never purchase another one.

How to sync video to iPhone

I have a video with extension .m4v which does not sync with my iphone. These are the properties of the video
MPEG-4 video file
128kbps
Low Complexity
Stereo
1572 kbps
480x360
H.264
I also have the same file in quicktime movie format. Even that file does not sync? I have specifically created this .m4v using itunes from a .mov file using "convert selection to apple tv". But, what ever I do, it does not sync with my iPhone. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to specifically export all my .mov files using "convert selection for ipod"?
I also tried the option "convert selection for ipod". This option does sync with my iPhone, but the video does not appear under Video. It does come under audio but not under video.
The first issue I need to resolve is how do I sync with iPhone.
The second issue I have is :
Is there a specific format that I can keep my movies, so that I can sync with both my apple tv, iphone and also play in itunes? I dont mind converting all my movies to one format, instead of retaining the movies in three different formats to play them on all three media.
-Nags

The data rate is too high -- 1500 is the max but 1000 is far safer (and most presets use under 1000).
Also, it sounds odd, but change the extension to MP4 when you convert it for iPod. Sometimes (maybe even a lot) the iPhone won't properly see an M4V extension as a movie. I know I have to convert all that I do with Handbrake to this extension.
I have both Apple TV and the iPhone and I use Handbrake for all my movie stuff. I convert using the iPhone preset but change the resolution to 640 (and turn autocrop on if I'm doing a widescreen movie). This plays perfectly on both the iPhone and Apple TV and, best of all, the quality is superb with small file sizes. I've run it on a 38inch TV and it looks to be as good or better than DVD in (it won't compare to HD but we're not talking HD here).
Even using the video cables (both composite and component) on the iPhone output the quality is terrific. I highly recommend this workflow.

Syncing Videos to iPhone Similar to Syncing to Apple TV

I have iTunes set to sync all unwatched episodes of a TV Show I have to my Apple TV. Now, I have more episodes then can fit on the ATV, but that is not a problem since iTunes is smart enough to only sync what can fit, then when an episode becomes watched, it removes it from my ATV and replaces it with the next unwatched episode. This works amazingly.
Now comes my problem. I use the same settings for my iPhone, and iTunes suddenly becomes stupid and doesn't know what to do when all the videos won't fit. It tells me that several video files can't be synced because there is not enough space. I would have thought it would handle this the same way it does with the ATV, but apparently I was mistaken. Does anyone know of a way that I can achieve what happens with my ATV on my iPhone?

I have exactly this problem. I have purchased a number of TV shows from the iTunes store, plus I also have eyeTV which can export TV recordings to iTunes.
I started off setting iTunes to sync the 3 most recently unwatched episodes of about 3 different TV shows. This worked fine until I had watched all the episodes.
What I expected iTunes to do was replace the watched episodes with unwatched ones. Unfortunately, this does not occur. So eventually you just end up with the same 3 episodes of each show, all of which you have already watched.
I have used a playlist in the past, and I set one up again. I set iTunes up to sync unwatched episodes from this playlist, but now it has not sync'd any TV shows at all.
This is really frustrating as the only option is for me to maintain this entirely manually - surely this is not what Apple intended?
