Itunes not syncing correctly with my ipod

So i was downloading this new album to my ipod and when i synced it, i made sure to see if it was fine on my ipod
there were these 3 songs that belonged in the album but were isolated in their own album.
It either only showed the album name or just the artists name
i tried to fix it but now i lost an album from the album category and its left as Unknown Album but on my itunes the songs are all where they are supposed to be and is fine.
This has happened to me with other albums but after 2 hours you obviously have to give up
Is there something wrong with my itunes or is it my ipod thats not syncing correctly?
And also i wanted to know if i can write a review on the whole itunes program because honestly, it is so difficult and all i'm trying to do is download music.

I looked through some older threads on this subject and, while bunches of people seem to have had this problem, I did not find a solution thta works for me. Also, for what it's worth, the last time the "number of plays" and "date last played" updated was 12/5/13. The only significant thing I can remember that happened on my computer around that time was some Windows updates on 12/11/13. I have no idea if that can affect iTunes or not. Looking at some of the other threads, some people had this problem on Apple computers, so I guess Windows updates could not have affected them.

ITunes not syncing correctly with two separate iPhones

My wife and I each have an iPhone and we share the same desktop PC at home. iTunes sucessfully keeps our music and photos separate; however, contacts under info uses what ever was set last. I want to use Google contacts and my wife wants to use Outlook contacts; however, iTunes is not remembering the settings. Any suggestions?

Sorry about that. Well, I've tried deleting the AlbumData.xml file as suggested also, but iPhoto itself generates a new file every time it's opened, so that's really a dead end. Rebuilding the library and through iPhoto Library Manager are the steps that required most work, and both did not work either, unfortunately.
I do believe that I'm not the only experiencing iTunes syncing problem, as there have been many posts here before when 9.4 came out. Like I wrote, it has been better with each upgrade, so there's definitely something in the coding with 9.4.x that messes things up. I had no trouble whatsoever with version 9.3.2 and prior to that.

Library size is not part of this issue. 12k photos is not a large library these days, I have one four times that size with no syncing issues.

IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

Hello,
Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Peter.

Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
Thank you,
Peter.

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

ITunes still not syncing correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3

Since upgrading to version 9.4.x, iTunes hasn't been syncing correctly with iPhoto. There were duplicated events/albums, missing photos, photos not appearing in the same order on iOS devices as they do in iPhoto, etc.
With each version upgrade since 9.4, this seems to have been improving bit by bit. I have just upgraded to 9.4.3, and now photos appear in the same order as they do in iPhoto. The only problem left for me, is that there are still photos missing in iTunes. Which photos that are missing seems to be completely random.
I have tried rebuilding the library, which made matters a lot worse. Using 3rd party software like iPhoto library manager to rebuild the library didn't help either (iTunes syncing became a total mess, even more photos were missing afterwards).
I hope by version 9.4.4, iTunes will read all info correctly from iPhoto again, as it did in version 9.3.2. Anyone else still experience problems?

IPad does not sync correctly with iTunes

Hey, I have a problem and would appreciate some help.
I have all my music library on itunes on my macbook (including some albums that I have created as compilations by collating multiple albums and for which I have edited the album cover photo ie selected a photo of my own). Some of the songs have been entered in my library by cds that I had and the rest by being purchased directly from itunes.
When I sync my itunes library with my ipods all is well and the albums, artists, playlists etc sync exactly the same (that is covers, tracks, order etc remain as shown on my library).
When I sync with my iphone 5S or my ipad air then I get strange... Some albums show correclty, others have a different cover photo - not the one that I have selected and edited on itunes - some have the tracks doubled or even the entire albums doubled, etc...
Although I have tried to solve this on my own, i have not managed yet...
BTW both my devices (iphone and ipad) sync automatically with icloud and so I only connect them to my macbook in order to sync the music. Maybe this is the problem?? Is there any way to have icloud NOT sync music with the devices?
On my macbook I have tried the ioption 'manage music manually' and then selecting the albums on my own but i get the same strange results.
Any ideas?
I even tried to erase all the music from my ipad/iphone (by selecting 'manage music manually' and then not selecting any of the albums or tracks in my library) but the music, at least part of it remains there... basically only the songs or albums purchased from itunes showing the icloud download icon next to them.
Any sugestions on how to solve this issue?
THX for your help,
Dimitris

IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
But one of them drove me crazy!
I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
I left it for hours and nothing.
As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
1- Repair Permittions
2- Reinstall iTunes
3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
7- Reset PRAM
Nothing worked.
I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
But disableing it didn't worked neither.
THE SOLUTION
I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
4- i Created a new task at that calendar
5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
HOpe it works for you!

ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
iTunes version 9.0.1.8
Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
How do I get this to work?

Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
Any suggestions would be helpfull

Ipod does not sync correctly with ITunes

Hello, and thanks in adavce for responding.
A couple days ago I connected my Ipod to a different PC with an older version of Itunes. I did not asociate the library nor synchronized the Ipod with it. When I connected my Ipod in my main PC where I keep my library, it seems as if it does not sync all my files correctly. For example, I have some TV shows in my library but they don't seem to transfer into my Ipod, when they used to before. I have the same problem with the photos. I have re-set my Ipod to factory settings a copule of times with different results. The first time, the photo's would not appear, and the second time, the TV shows did not. Furthermore, my ITunes library does not show photos anymore, but they do appear in the Ipod. It seems as if the Ipod is confused with ITunes, but I honestly don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

Having issues with itunes not syncing correctly

ive been running into issues of itunes not wanting to sync my movies.When i try to sync movies, all of my music i imported from cds or files that were not purchased off of itunes gets deleted off of my phone.Im running itunes 12,and ios 8 on my 5s.Been happening alot recently and its frustrating!!!!! Ive tried managing my music and movies and that doesnt help out at all.Im having to download movies from icloud from my phone which at times is hard due to the lack of reliable wifi.Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

as rediculous as this is, I enabled "all mail" under the labels, then went into the actual apple mail settings and checked some box about updateing immediately (for deleted items) . then I had to quit mail then open it back up - it "appears" to have synced properly. I'll let you know if it all comes back, but this is really a pain in the butt, I swapped from Entourage a few months back because it started acting weird with gmail.
anyone have any other mail options if this continues to not work? I don't want to have to pull gmail in my browser to move read items each day.
thanks for all the help.

ICal not syncing correctly with MobileMe

For the last week or so, ever since MobileMe was being updated, my iCal synching with MobileMe and iPhone has stopped working correctly. When I enter a meeting into iCal, it syncs to MobileMe and therefore my iPhone.
HOWEVER, any new calendar entries from the iPhone (or MobileMe's website directly), do not show up on iCal even after i try to manually Sync them. Furthermore, if I change the time of a meeting or call on iCal, a DUPLICATE meeting is created in MobileMe, thus polluting my calendar on the iPhone and MobileMe with multiple entries. When I am on the road, I can't figure out which is the correct meeting anymore.
Not sure if this is due to new iTunes or the update with MobileMe servers last week.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot this to date:
- In MobileMe preferences, I stopped synching my MacBook with MobileMe and wiped out all of the data on MobileMe. I rebooted my MacBook, then, I Reset Sync Data from iCal to MobileMe. It seeded fine, but still doesn't show any appointments created from the iPhone or within MobileMe on my iCal after re-syncing.
- I deleted my MobileMe account on my iPhone. Rebooted iPhone. Re-added my MobileMe account to the iphone and synched the calendar. The calendar syncs and shows up, but still no appointments created on my iPhone or within MobileMe show on my iCal.
- I have also tried to NARROW the variables of my issue by not synching ANYTHING ELSE other than iCal (no contacts, mail settings etc.). To No avail, still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?? I sense there is something cached in the bowels of my iCal settings, but have no idea to re-set them to re-enable synching.

I solved the issue. I took a risk and wiped my MobileMe account clean one last time, then RESET SYNCH Data from my MacBook to MobileMe.
Then, I crossed my fingers and deleted my calendars on my iCal desktop.
I then, chose RESET SYNCH Data FROM MobileMe TO MacBook pro - effectively overwriting my iCal with the same data I just uploaded into MobileMe.
The result? Everything started working again. I added meetings to my calendar with my iPhone and they showed up on my iCal Desktop (MacBook). Yeah!

ITunes not Syncing correctly

I have approximately 60 songs on iTunes and my iPhone 3GS shows only 6. I have done a complete restore several times and still the same problem. I have checked Sync Music...entire music library...include music videos and include voice memos. It said 46 total problems which is all songs purchased through iTunes was not copied.
I am not sure if this is a problem but I have my iTunes on a diffferent drive, other than my "C" drive because my "C" Drive is a SSD with limited space so is there a setting for this as well?
Thank you.
Am using Windows 7...

I had this problem too and my roommate solved the problem!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

TS1638 Multi-day appointments not sync correctly with iPad and iPhone from Outlook 2007

Single day appointments I have in Outlook 2007 will sync properly. Repeated appointments i.e. ones that are several consecutive days sync 24 hours ahead or one day out. It can't be a time zone issue because single day appointment syncs correctly.
