Itunes not syncing my music to ios7 devices

Before I had iOS7 on my iPhone 4, I had all my music saved up and I was a happy person. But when I updated my phone, I could not sync any music into it. I called apple to see if they could help, but no they couldn't because my phone was "too old" so I left it that way and am now using my itouch, which still has iOS6 and i have NO PROBLEM syncing music into it. Well today I got a brand new iPad mini and I am having the same problem! I have been going through forums about having to reset it (which I have done) and having to change all these different settings. NOTHING WORKS. So what I am asking is that if anyone is having the same problem. I am about to do something about this because I am not willing to have an iPad that is unable to sync music. I AM DONE WITH THIS NONSENSE.

Ok, well at this point, if you have gone through the 5 R's and tried other things and it's not working then the best thing for you to do is return the ipod for an exchange (if it's still in the exchange policy timeframe based on where ever you purchased it) or contact Apple for a warranty exchange.
Sorry nothing else worked for you.

  • Itunes not syncing checked music

    Not that familiar with new itunes, have checked the music I want but it simply wont sync, strngely if I uncheck an artist the amount of space required on the bar at the bottom actually increases when unchecking an artist... but still wont sync. I have a couple that did sync and most that will not...

    Problem solved unchecked back up to icloud and backed up to my computer, which then allowed me to untick the songs that were physically on my iphone (when iphone connected to computer) that I didn't want. Synced again and voila!!! Only files I want are now on my iphone . This has been bugging me for weeks, determination certainly paid off. Sometimes I think having problems is a good thing, you learn heaps trying to solve an issue

  • ITunes not syncing play counts from iOS devices

    I realize this is a small thing to some people, but my music-listening abnd playlisting habits are fairly OCD and are depenedent on play count tallies....
    Long story short, I updated my iTunes software the other day to 10.5.3. Now, when I plug my iPad (1) and iPhone(4s) in to the iMac to sync, the playcounts and last played data does not appear to by syncing. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I actually spoke to someone at applecare, and they suggested selecting "homesharing updates playcount" in preferences, which I did, but that does not appear to affect anything when I amsyncing directly from the iOS devices. I have not started using itunes match yet, partially because of concerns about play counts, so I am still syncing the old-fashioned way, with a cord.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • ITunes not syncing properly between machines and devices

    My setup used to work just fine before the updates to syncing, now it is just a big mess.
    Before:
    iTunes install on my Mac tied to my iPad used primarily for video content and video podcasts.
    iTunes install on my Windows machine tied to iPod/iPhone used primarly for audio content and audio podcasts.
    Each one was in it's own little world and everything just worked.
    Now:
    Both iTunes installs are getting the full list of podcasts from each other and their devices, so my audio podcasts are now showing up on the Mac and video podcasts are showin up in Windows.  I don't really care that is happening, but the watched/played status is not updating properly across the board.  For example, if I watch or listen to a podcast that status is not updating everywhere.  Worst case is that on some occasions, items that I have already watched/played are reverting back to unwatched/unplayed status.
    Is there a way to get syncing working properly, or do I just need to turn all of those options off and go back to just direct syncing between machine and device?

    Jason,
    Thanks for your response. I am using Exchange and syncing over-the-air, not using iTunes. As you suggested, I deleted the Exchange account and then set it up again - but that did not work. HOWEVER - observations that I made while doing what you suggested led me down another path, and I was able to solve my problem! So - thanks!
    In case anyone else has this problem, here is what my problem was and I how I figured it out (I hope someone finds it useful).
    My problem was not an iPhone-to-Exchange sync problem, rather it turned out to be an Entourage-to-Exchange sync problem with the calendar. Turns my entourage calendar folder cache was messed up and had to be "emptied". I found this article that helped me do that: http://www.helpdesk.ilstu.edu/kb/index.phtml?kbid=1453
    How I discovered the solution:
    As I said, my problem was that calendar items edited or created on the iPhone were not showing up in my calendar when viewed from Entourage. When I deleted the exchange account from my iPhone, the calendar items that were (as far as I knew) ONLY on the iPhone and had not been sync-ed to exchange should have been lost forever. When I put exchange back on the iPhone - those item showed up again. So either the database on the iPhone didn't get erased when I deleted the account or those items REALLY WERE in exchange all along. So, I used Outlook Web Access to view my calendar items in exchange by bypassing entourage - and sure enough, they WERE there all along. That isolated the problem to Entourage and once I figured that out the solution was pretty easy to find.

  • ITunes not syncing unchecked music to ATV

    I tunes will only sync the "Checked" music, despite the fact that my settings are "custome" and "Syncall songs and playlists".
    Plenty of room, so that's not the problem.
    Running ATV 2.0.2 and IMac

    I believe so, not sure if the checkboxes are different within playlists or not.
    For me it's actually quite useful - even though I don't want to sync everything (and couldn't) - it actually affects streaming too.
    The Take 2.0 software was an annoyance as I didn't know how not to stream stuff i didn't want showing up on the TV - I don't really want explicit albums streaming to the family room AppleTV, and some albums are just too embarrassing to admit to...

  • IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.

    When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens

    it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
    It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?

  • Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music

    Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music to iPad 2 mini or iPhone 3GS after upgrade. I have tried a full restore and hard resets on the iPhone. I have tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking the boxed related to transfers and automatic syncing.
    I hit the sync button and only for a brief second does it appear to attempt to sync and then nothing further happens. It seems to abort with no error message. Any assistance would be appreciated or thumbs up from those with similar problems after a recent upgrade.
    I am using OS 10.6.8.
    Thank you!

    i'm in the same boat. setting up my iPhone 6 as a new device (as i've done numerous of times with my other iDevices). i've had zero luck on transferring my library and playlist over to my new iPhone 6. I do nothing different than what i've done before. I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. It goes through the steps pretty quick and the storage capacity at the bottom shrinks a few GB's for my playlist i'm adding, then it reverts back to what it's currently at and does nothing, no errors.

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Have you authorized your new computer: Store>Authorize this Computer?

  • Yesterday I  reset my settings on my  iphone 4 to correct another problem. Today I am unable to connect to itunes to sync my phone. The device does not show up on the screen. What can I do?

    Yesterday I reset my settings on my iphone 4 to correct a problem. Today I am unable to connect to itunes to sync my phone. The device does not show up on the screen. What can I do?

    Best practices says plug the USB cable into the computer, then plug the 30 pin connector into the iPhone.
    If everything is working correctly, you should be able to plug the iPhone in at any time. Before or after opening iTunes.
    Depending on what settings are selected in iTunes, the program may or may not automatically open when you connect the device.

  • I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

    I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
    When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

    I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs.  I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
    This is quite silly!

  • My problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
    I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
    Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.

  • I want my kids to have the ir own iTunes accounts so they can manage their download on individually.  I have a rather extensive music library (not purchased from Apple, but ripped from CD's).  Can I use my iTunes libray to put music on their devices?

    the iTunes app on the iPad is updated when the iOS is updated. What version of iOS is on your iPad?
    The message you are getting is about updating iTunes is for your computer, not the iPad. The current version of iTunes is version 11.
