ITunes library and syncing with iPhone 3GS trouble

I have an iPhone 3GS. When I got to update to iOS 4.3 from the latest 4.2 update I either get am error saying that the file was corrupt or sometimes I get an error saying that my firmware is not compatible. Also, when I just try to sync to iTunes I get an unknown error saying that I cannot finish syncing with iTunes; which has caused my apps to not sync back to my phone and my photos as well. Last night after the latter error I just disconnected my phone and went to bed but I also discovered that my phone has a fraction of the apps that it did have on it. I did not get a chance to check if my apps has all synced back to iTunes at least. And another issue is that lately iTunes has been having issues with the library and keeps creating a damaged.xml. Help, please!!

try removing all the music and snycing it back to your iphone

  • HT1386 Recently downloaded ringtones cannot be "sync'd" to my computer.  But, the ringtones are listed in my Itunes Library and in the Iphone.  What's wrong?

    After being downloaded from Ringtones #1 I verified the 5 ringtones were functional, listed both in the Itunes Library and in my Iphone 5.  But, when I attempt to "sync" these ringtones I receive a display stating the ringtones cannot be found in the Library.  I do not want to activate Icloud because of duplication issues.  Anyone out there that had the same issues? 

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
    If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa.

    Outlook 2007 Calendar Appts have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa. Only noticed in last month or so. Help required please.
    May have been after an iTunes update.
    Have upgraded to latest version of iTunes and iOS but to no avail.
    Contacts sync OK both ways, it's just Calendar Appointments that don't.
    Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • ITunes keeps freezing during a sync with IPhone 3Gs?

    I have repeated issue with ITunes syncing with my IPhone.  It keeps freezing while backing up the data.  I know there is an order to uninstall and reinstall the components of ITunes but I cannot find what it is.  Can you help?

    Check this thread out -> iTunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos
    Try unchecking the "Include Videos" option on the Photos tab in iTunes. You can workaround the issue by adding the videos to your iTunes library and syncing them along with movies and TV shows.

  • Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

    Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty.  The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

    I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

    The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
    There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

  • New Macbook Pro, iTunes match and syncing with an iPod classc??

    Hi,
    I recently bought a MBP and I have iTunes Match, so my itunes on the MBP contains my music 'in the cloud'. I also have an iPod classic and want to sync it to update it.
    If I plug it in to my new macbook will it sync with 'itunes match' and update with new songs that I've downloaded? 
    I thought I might have to download all my music from Match to the hard drive of the macbook, but as there is 25gb it is going to take days!!
    Does amnyone know what i should do?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Discrepancy between iTunes library and synced iPod song list

    I am sure there must be a really simple answer to this, but heck if I know.
    My iTunes library on my PC has 1614 songs, yet despite my iPod being sync'd, my song list shows only 1588 songs.
    So, 25 tracks have not loaded - why is this? Surely there should be exactly the same number of tracks in my song list?
    H E L P - its driving me mad.

    I have a 24 track difference between my itunes library and my song list in my synced ipod. Really bugging me as I don't know why - have ensured all songs are checked, but still no answer. Where are the missing 24 songs?
    Surely someone out there must know the answer - HELP!
