Itunes no longer syncs new tv shows to my iphone4 after 10.5.1.42 update

I just did the itunes update to version 10.5.1.42, and now when I try to synch with my iphone4, it will NOT copy any of my new TV shows from my itunes into the phone.
I'm on a PC, using windows 7, 32 bit.
I have never had a problem like this before -- I download tv shows to itunes and then synch them to my phone all the time. I have all the settings checked the same as before. The synch process appears to work successfully, but it never actually transfers the shows, and when I go to look at the videos on my phone, none of the "new" ones are there.
The only "work around" I can find is to download straight to my phone from the cloud. That is a major hassle for me, as the wifi currently available to me (at work) is super slow and would take well over an hour just to download one show. Not to mention I shouldn't have to do that.
is there any fix for this? Can I roll back my itunes to the previous version that worked just fine?

Finally, I had time to do a on-line support session with the Apple Care help people (excellent). We went through and verified a lot of things. Finally, he had me run the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions". That resolved things and it works now.
Also related is that the iOS 7.1 update installed a lot of stuff on the iPhone - including iMovie, Numbers, Pages, Keynotes - stuff that I will use on the iPad but not on the iPhone. The result of automatically installing all these things on the iPhone was to but it way over the limit on memory. I deselected thos apps (and a few others) plus some movies and am now below the memory limit on the iPhone.
Things are now working well with both the iPhone and iPad - both syncing correctly. So, with that, I will close out this case.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy.

My iTunes no longer syncs with my phone!

My iTunes no longer syncs with my galaxy note3. I know galaxies aren't apple products but I happened to find a patch online for the note 3 to Allow iTunes to sync all my music but since I updated iTunes I haven't had any luck getting it to work. Please, I've been trying to find another patch to work with the new iTunes upgrade but haven't had any luck. If any if you knows of a new patch or something I could download to get it working again I would GREATLY appreciate it. Please help me

Thanks but it still doesn't work.
all my pre leopard entries still synch but none that have been put in since the "upgrade". I've tried starting new calendars from scratch. but nothing synchs. My .mac synch is fine! isn't that weird?

Why does iTunes no longer sync all of my songs? It only syncs 125/600, despite plenty of room on my iPod Touch

Itunes will no longer sync new music to my ipod

I've had my ipod for a year and have been able to use it fine. Now, however, the ability to sync new music to my ipod has been removed. I've recently bought a new computer and successfully transferred everything over and been able to sync my ipod with the new computer and it has been working fine. THen I decided to buy some new music from the itunes store. At first I bought a few songs and placed them in a pre-existing playlist and that worked fine. Then I decided to download the next part of an audio book I bought a while ago off audible so I could listen to the next part and while I could download it it wouldn't add to itunes the way I've done it for the last 80 or so audiobooks I've downloaded from audible (go to file, select add file to library, find file, double click and then sync)
There was no error message, just when I synced it wasn't there. So I bought an album from the itunes store. Again, something I've done before. I can buy the album, I can download it, I can even make a playlist for the album and listen to it on my computer. When I sync I get no error message but nothing I try can get that album from my computer onto my ipod.
The only way I can listen to anything new (including the stuff I have already paid for) is to do so on my computer, which I don't want to do as I can't carry my computer around public transport with me. Besides, this is why I bought an ipod!
I'm not trying to do aything new, just what I've done before.
Thank you in advance!

ITunes Won't Sync T.V. Show to iPod Classic

All of my videos have been converted to a specifically Classic 5th-Gen compatible MP4 format, and I've had no problem at all with all of the HUNDREDS of others in my iTunes library. But for some reason, one particular show just simply will not sync to my iPod, and I'm at a loss as to why.
Once again: None of my videos were bought from the iTunes store, and the dimensions, container, decryption, and absolutely all details about the video formatting is identical to the many, many other videos which have worked flawlessly as they were all created in exactly the same way, so file parameters should not be the culprit here.
I have my library set to sync only checked videos (due to space limitations) and have checked and double checked and triple-checked that this particular TV show is indeed checked when the iPod is synced. I've tried deleting all of the videos from the iPod and then syncing JUST this show, to no avail; I've also tried deleting and resyncing ALL the shows. No matter what I seem to do, iTunes simply will not sync this show. I don't get an "iPod will not play this file" error message or any kind of error message at all, and the videos play perfectly fine in iTunes. When I sync, the episodes just don't sync--they don't appear in the iTunes header saying "Syncing video 1 of 13" or whatever the numbers may be, and the sync says it finishes immediately. I'm really at a loss here.
The iPod is (I'm pretty sure) a 5th Gen iPod Classic, and the show is the first season of Metalocalypse. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I FOUND A SOLUTION. at least, I was having the same problem as yall, and I found a solution that worked for me, I hope it helps yall too.
My issue was that music would sync to my devices, but some of the playlists would not have all of the songs in them that they should have had. I looked at the playlists, that I was having issues with, and they were all complex smart playlists. Meaning they had multiple levels of conditions in the smart playlist settings, and itunes 10 does not seem to suppor that. To fix it, I went through all of those smart playlists and made new smart playlists that had the same (or as similar as I could get them) conditions to my old playlists. I then re-synced my devices and all my songs appeared in my playlists.
I dont know why, but itunes 10 no longer supports some of the smart playlist rules that older versions of itunes did, so hopefully updating your smart playlists will fix this problem.
Best of luck guys.
P.S. if you dont know what I mean by 'complex' smart playlist, here is an example of what I mean:

ITunes no longer syncs with Outlook

Hi, I'm doing research on behalf of a client....
He's running Win7 Pro x64, Outlook 2010, iTunes 10.7, iOS 6 on both his new iPhone 5 and iPad 2 wifi only model.
He has a strange hybrid exchange going on in his office; his former IT provider never fully set it up, so he's using exchange for calendar & contacts, but email is POP.
For several years, he's happily been using iTunes to sync his calendar & contacts with Outlook.
That recently stopped working, and it seems like it must have been caused by either iTunes 10.7 and/or iOS 6.
What happens now when we plug either device into his desktop is it starts the sync process, says it's syncing calendars or contacts (step 2 of 6) and goes no further; it will sit there for as long as you let it with the little bar spinning, making you think it's working, but nothing ends up happening. iTunes does not freeze and otherwise works normally.
Here are a few of the steps I've tried to make iTunes sync his data with Outlook:
- Repaired .PST file, found & fixed errors.
- Repaired .OST (exchange cache on computer) file, found and fixed errors.
- Repaired Office software itself.
- Completely removed all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes.
- Forced sync
- Tried removing calendars & contacts from iPhone & iPad and forcing a sync.
- Deleted iDevice backup from within iTunes & tried a sync.
When I uncheck the Outlook sync options in iTunes, the sync completes successfully. So clearly there's a big issue with the Outlook sync component here.
Does anyone have any insight at all as to how we can solve this?
At this point I'm working on moving him entirely to Exchange so that everything will sync wirelessly over Activesync, but that's going to be more expensive and involved than getting iTunes to work like it used to .
Thank you

ITunes no longer syncs partially listened-to podcasts with my iPod

Hey, everyone. Since I downloaded the new iTunes 11, I've run into a problem with the podcasts I listen to. I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts, many of which are quite lengthy. For that reason, I often can't listen to the whole podcast in a single day. However, with the new iTunes, if I sync up my iPod while partway through a podcast, the iPod loses the partially listen-to podcast. It's as if the software assumes that since I've listened to part of it, I don't want it to sync anymore.
This is, of course, not the case. Is there a setting somewhere that I can toggle to make iTunes give me ALL my podcasts, regardless of whether I've listened to part of them (or even all all of them)? In short, I want my podcasts folder in iTunes to match what's on my iPod, not have iTunes make guesses about what I'll want.
Thanks for any help!

OK, figured this out and wanted to post the solution in case anyone else experiences this.
When you plug in your iPod, iTunes should start up automatically and sync. A button, "iPod," should appear at the top of the iTunes player, just below the search window. Click it (but not the eject symbol on it).
This brings up the iPod control settings. Along the top menu, there will be several submenu options: "Summary," "Music," "Movies," "TV Shows," "Podcasts," etc. Clock "Podcasts."
Here there will be a radio button next to "Sync Podcasts." Make sure that is checked. There is also a radio button next to "Automatically include..." Click that to on as well. Then, if you want iTunes to STOP deleting partially listened-to podcasts, make sure the options in the two drop-down menus say "all" and "all podcasts." Thus, you'll end up with: "Automatically include all episodes of all podcasts."
Hope this helps. The new iTunes is far from user-friendly.

ITunes no longer syncs "Notes" and "Reminders" to the iPod.

I bought a new MacBook Pro and I find iTunes no longer has that option. Is that correct?

Just today I noticed the same thing (song not advancing on completion of prior song) in both playlists and the main library.
I also apparently have no genius results for any song in my library now and iTunes DJ is only showing two albums, no matter how many times I refresh it.
It has to be something basic that I'm overlooking, I hope.

ITunes no longer syncs podcast pause locations between devices

This is how iTunes used to work: If I was listening to a podcast on my iPod and paused that podcast anywhere in the middle, when I would sync the iPod with iTunes, that pausing point would be remembered by iTunes. Meaning... If I then started playing the same podcast in iTunes (after the sync with my iPod), iTunes would play the podcast starting from the exact same spot I paused it on my iPod.
Likewise, iTunes used to remember and share that pause point BETWEEN my iPod and iPhone. Allowing me to listen to the podcast on the iPod in my car, take the iPod into the house and sync it with iTunes, and then sync my iPhone with iTunes and I could continue listening to the podcast on my iPhone from the same pause point.
With iPhone 3.0.1 installed, iTunes 8.2.1 (6) installed, and Mac OS X 10.6 installed, NONE of the above is true anymore.
If I pause my iPod and sync it with iTunes and then try to play the same podcast in iTunes, it starts from the beginning, no matter where it was originally paused on the iPod. And the pause point is no longer transferred from device to device.
Someone please tell me that these changes are not a new "feature". Please tell me there is hope this will be fixed and SOON! Maybe the remembering of the pause point was causing consternation for some users but, let's face it, it's EASY to go back to the beginning of a podcast and it's impossible to remember where you left on in a given podcast, particularly if you listen to 2 or 3 different ones in a week and don't complete them before switching to another.

Not a single response?!? Is nobody else having this problem?

HT1351 iTunes won't sync a tv show to my iPod Classic

I just bought a new tv show from iTunes the other day. When I connect my ipod classic to iTunes, it automtically adds all new media that I've download to iTunes. But now I get this alert message telling me that the tv show I just bought, on iTunes, can not be copied. I have never had this happen before. I tried to restore my iPod to factory settings hoping to fix the issue that way, but I get an error message saying that the "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."
So anyone know how to fix this problem??

This is what it says. You don't have to convert it.
All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.
If this doesn't work, I don't know what the problem is. You could try deleting from iTunes and re-downloading the item from the store. (in iTunes: STORE > Purchased > Download Previous Purchases.)
