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 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.

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.

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.

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?
Thanks.

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.

Hi Guys,

I hate that,because 10.6 was working properly with my device,but this one is not. so please give me some instruction,what I should do.
Thank you in anticipation.

Hello, Jose.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro has an Intel processor and at least 1gb or RAM, you can upgrade your machine to the minimum operating system requirements for use with iTunes 11.

Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

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.
