ITunes Library not syncing wiht iPhone

Hello! I'm very frustrated with the update. After the IOS update, I have been getting problems all around.
My main problem is that my iPhone does not sync with my library anymore. To add songs, I have to access my iPhone through iTunes and then go to "On This Phone" tab and autofill new songs from my library to the iPhone.
Thanks to whoever that can help me!

Hi,
Yes, you would need to have that Sync Music box ticked if you want music to automatically sync to the device when you hook it up to iTunes.
Once you select that option, you will then be able to further select option to sync specific music as you wish.
If everything that you might want on your phone is in your iTunes library, then you will be able to sync whatever you want back to the phone once you get that profile page set up.
Cheers,
GB

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 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

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.

ITunes library not syncing on iPhone4 with iOS 7.0.4

Since the update to iOS 7.0.4, iTunes on my iPhone4 will not sync. It says it's syncing (I've tried syncing both wirelessly and with USB cable) but nothing changes. I've tried making a new playlist and moving songs, toggling things off and on, rebooting my MacBook Air, rebooting iTunes, and rebooting the phone, but it's not syncing. My iPad music library is syncing just fine since the iOS update so this seems to be a problem with the iPhone4.

I have this EXACT same problem and have since the latest IOS upgrade last week. No changes to the iTunes Library on a Windows 7 PC are syncing to the iPhone 4.
I've been able to get added songs to sync by UnChecking " Sync Music" in the Music tab, then hit Sync. That will wipe out the music on the iPhone. THEN , recheck the Sync Music and Sync again.
HOWEVER
The Sync is ignoring what has been "checked" in the iTunes library on the PC. It will only Sync what has been selected in the Sync options when the iPhone has been connected and the sync function launched.
Apple ??? Are you listening ???

Itunes will not sync with iphone 6

I have tried all of the suggestions I can find on here, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, I have tried a hard reset with my iphone, I have tried plugging my phone into the different available ports. I am using the cord that my phone came with, and nothing is working. I need to sync and backup my phone but I am having no luck! ( I am running on Yosemite and my iphone 6 is up to date)
I have also deauthorized and reauthorized my computer. I have also deleted my old backups with the exception of my latest backup.
Can anyone help? I need to get my calendars synced as I rely on that due to running my own business.
I have attached a screen shot that shows my itunes, it does see the phone but will not allow me to click on it instead it just gets stuck.
TIA!

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.

ITunes library not syncing to iPod touch, please help!!!

Hi! I hesitated to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 until all my songs from my iPod disappeared (but all the songs are still in iTunes library). I thought it was the problem with the software, so I upgraded my iPod to the current version iOS 6.0.1 and itunes to 10.7.
I am on a Window 7 OS. I tried to uninstall the iTunes software, and tried installing it again. I thought the Apple Mobile Device was disabled, but no. I tried restarting it from Administrative Tools. Not working as well. I don't want to restore to the manufacture version since I have so many things on my iPod. It would be great if you guys can suggest something other than restoring. Thank you so much!
Erica

ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

ITunes will not sync my iPhone.

Up until recent I was able to sync my iPhone 3G successfully.
Lately, I have been getting the following error message: "iTunes cannot sync my phone because the iPod Photo Cache folder cannot be located."
I have contact Apple regarding this issue in hopes to gain resolution; however, Apple was not able to assist and suggested I post this in discussion and then maybe the Apple family experiencing the same issue may assist.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks!

The photo cache folder is where the computer stores the iPhone optimised images which transfer to the iPhone for viewing in the Photo's App. They are not the originals, but a reduced quality version.
The Apple store couldn't assist as the problem is on your computer.
If it can't find them, it should recreate them however the message suggests something deeper.
If you untick the 'Sync Photo's' on the Photo tab in iTunes, does the message go away on Sync ?
Or did you recently delete a folder from the Pictures folder called iPod Photo cache' or similar ?

ITunes Library not visible in iphone/ipad/appletv

I have a 2013 mbp, and 2007 imac. An ipad Mini, an iphone 5 and apple tv 3. All are updated to the most recent versions.
Both my mbp and my imac can "see" each other's itunes libraries and play them. So home sharing works.
My iphone, and ipad can see the mbp and imac libraries in their iTunes, however they cannot see them in Music.
The itunes remote works on both the ipad/iphone when looking at the mbp and imac.
The apple tv can happily mirror what is on both the mbp and imac. I can play itunes music happily on the apple tv from both.
The apple tv cannot see the itunes library of either the imac or the mbp in "Computers"
The apple tv happily mirrors the ipad and iphone.
I have duplicated the problem with different routers.
So home sharing sort sort of half works. It is weird. Suggestions?

Have you tried clicking on "Music" in iTunes?
Yes and that is where my purchased music shows up but not my 6900 other songs.
My Itunes library is on an external hard drive. Maybe that has something to do with it....

What have you done so far to sync music to your iPhone? Is it iTunes music, or music from other sources (such as MP3s or CDs)?

My itunes will not sync my iphone or connect to the itunes store

Hi there,
A couple of months ago I started experiencing problems with my ipod touch syncing to my itunes, and the connection to the itunes store also became rather hit and miss. I decided to give it another go when I bought an iphone 4, which I did a couple of weeks ago. Despite updating my itunes to version 10.5 I am still experiencing the same problems. When I connect my iphone to my PC it gets to step 2 of the syncing process and then appears to be in some sort of limbo where it does not carry on working (the progress bar stays static rather than slowly increasing). I am also unable to connect to the itunes store (it does not recognise that there is a problem, rather it just says 'Itunes Store' in the main part of the screen, in some kind of Emperor's New Clothes scenario, as though it's trying to kid me). In addition I cannot connect to icloud in the control panel. I have no problems with connecting to the internernet, have defraged and done a disc cleanup and checked that the firewalls are not blocking connectivity.
Please, does anyone have any suggestions?

I have contacts in Address Book that don't show up on my iPhone. They are specifically marked as a business and not a person. Any ideas on why they don't sync over to my 3G iPhone running the latest software?

I'll alert the media.
