ITunes not syncing to iPhone 4S or iPad 2
I've noticed that the music libraries on my three devices differed significantly however I have never been able to sort out the issue.
I have a Macbook Pro(OSX 10.8.2), iTunes 11.0, an iPad 2 (6.0.1) and an iPhone 4S (6.0.1). Each device is signed in to the same icloud account, I've read the instructions on setting up icloud so that hopefully it syncs correctly however my music libraries are vastly different. I have home sharing turned on, and while connected to wifi I can change the library on either of the two mobile devices under "shared" to my Library and utilize the additional tunes, however when away from wifi or my MBP is closed I can not access the music.
My question is this- in the information I read on Apple's website discussing iTunes and iCloud, it is supposed to push all new downloads to the devices logged in that do not currently have that media. So if I purchase a song on my iPhone 4S, theoretically it should push to my MBP and iPad 2 from the way I read it. Or am I going to have to re-sync my iPhone and iPad everytime I add a new song or album so they all have the same music library?
This seems very redundant and a poor use for the cloud. If that's the case, there isn't much use for iCloud in my personal opinion.
Is anyone else having this issue?
For what it is worth, when I first turned my iCloud syncing of documents on after updating to mountain lion, I encountered the same problems as yourself. Shortly after, I noticed that when I visited iCloud.com, that the iWork feature was apparently unavailable because of ongoing works. When it became available again, everything seemed to work just fine and has done so ever since. Of note, there was no other notification of these ongoing works anywhere else other than iCloud.com.

Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes
Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network. The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start. With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes. Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

Apps purchased on itunes not syncing with iphone
I recently purchased some apps from the App Store using iTunes but when I synced it with my iPhone it didn't work. This is the first time it's happened. All the other times I purchased apps through my macbook, they synced perfectly once I connected my iPhone, except for the ones I downloaded last night. I tried downloading them straight from the App Store in my iPhone, and when asked "You already purchased this, would you like to download it again for free?" I clicked Ok, but still nothing happened. Now I have five apps missing which I paid for and haven't even used.
Any suggestions as to what else I should try?Similar problem. Apps downloaded to iTunes do not sync to my iPhone (Edge/2.0) despite clicking "Sync" in iTunes. The icons do not appear on the iPhone. My account shows the apps ordered in the receipt, but they only remain on my Mac.
Workaround: I had to download the apps directly (wirelessly) to the iPhone. I did not restart the iPhone.
Expected behaviour: the apps should appear on the iPhone after syncing with iTunes. -
Updated apps on iTunes not syncing with iPhone 4S
Hello!
I've synced the iPhone 4S with iTunes 10.5, and in iTunes there are 53 apps with available updates (I'm choosing not to update some), but in the App Store app on the phone there's a badge saying there are 87 available updates. I've never experienced this discrepancy before. Some of the apps in the phone's Updates section of the App Store are apps that I've already updated in iTunes. So the sync doesn't seem to be installing them in the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks.Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store.

Itunes not syncing to iphone 5
I have the iphone 5 version 6.1.4 and I want to sync my library to my phone and ipad but it is not allowing me saying that I need the itunes version 10.7 or higher when I have 10.6 so I went to itunes to download the new itunes and it wont let me download the new itunes saying that I need OSX version 10.6.8 or later. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction?
I had a similar issue. Music that was on my previous iPhone, shows up in my Library, is authorized on my device, was purchased with same account...etc, did not show up under the Artist! Two songs from two different Albums for the same Artist were there, but I was missing an entire album. I had the idea to look for the individual title of one of the songs, and I found it there on my phone! It just wasn't listed under the Artist...really weird. So I went to my iTunes Library, got the Info for the songs that weren't listed under the Artist Category, and found that the song was checked "Part of a Compilation". I unchecked it for one of the songs, re-synced, and it showed up under the Artist! I went into each song that was missing under the Artist category and unchecked that box, and I now see the entire Album under the Artist Category (which is how I often look for music). Was really happy it was that easy, because I just spent about two hours checking purchase history, authorized devices, etc. Not sure why that box caused the songs to not show up, but glad it worked. Good luck!

ITunes not syncing to iPhone - Backed up & then synced the backup but....
I have the iPhone 3gs with the latest software on and also iTunes 10.
My phone has not been syncing with iTunes for some time now, I always had to sync it more than once for the new music to be on my phone. However it always showed under the iTunes tab of 'recently added'.
Whenever I put new music into the library or change apps I always backup my iPhone just so I know everything is saved and I've still got it. So yesterday I backed up my iPhone and then restored it, then restored iPhone from backup... However non of my apps are on the phone only the basic apple apps such as settings, safari etc.
I can't ring apple today as they are not open on a Sunday and I've looked through the apple help support sheets but theres nothing on there about if the backup failed. I did however today restore my phone from recovery mode but I still do not have any of the apps I purchased on my phone.
Can someone help please?Welcome to the discussions,
app and other media, like songs for example, are not part of the backup, only app data and settings. More info about the content can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But, unlike music, you can download apps again for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -
Tracks and playlists on iTunes not syncing with iPhone 5
I'm using windows 7 with the latest updates, the latest update of iTunes and an up to date iPhone 5.
All I want to do is sync the playlists and tracks on iTunes to my iPhone. I'm using the 'sync music' tick box and then selecting the playlists and artists which I want to sync. This method was taking absolutely ages with 'determining tracks to sync' coming up for 15 or so minutes. After this, nothing changed on the phone or pc. Apart from some of the playlists on iTunes emptying of tracks and some playlists being deleted from the phone. Neither of which I wanted!
So I thought I'd try to add music manually. I started by adding playlists to the phone which was taking ages but at least the job was getting done. Suddenly, certain tracks wouldn't transfer And a message would pop up on the phone telling me so and to check iTunes. I'm up to 37 tracks not transferring so far.
So I am at a bit of a loss. I'm using all the latest up to date software and a genuine lightening cable.
Can anyone help?

Reminders will not sync from iphone 4s to iPad 2 .. ???
EVerything else in iCloud seems to work, but I don't see reminders on my iMac, or on the non-originating device. I have an iMac, iPad 2 and iphone 4s ... Please help!!!
None of that worked ... I'm having the issue that some others are having that have to do with the "+" not showing up in the iPhone reminders app. If I shut reminders to off in icloud preferences, then I get it ... Then if I hit on, it says "merging with icloud," but the reminders do not show up on the ipad or on the icloud calendar.
if I do post on the ipad reminders app, however, those DO show up on icloud, but not the iphone ... ??? -

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all
Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
1. Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
2. Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
3. Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back. -
Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad.
For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".
I'm on w7x64, updated.
I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
Thanks!I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?
I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7. The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8). For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work. However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things! Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?
Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the "open iTunes" option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.
