ITunes showing incorrect amount of music on iPhone 6

Just upgraded to iPhone 6. Brought new phone home and restored from iTunes backup. Of course, music/playlist in not included in restore yet, in iTunes, my new iPhone shows same amount of songs of original iPhone 4s (733 songs, 3.1 GBs.) However, new iPhone actually only has 11 songs! When checking capacity on actual iPhone 6, (Settings>General>About>Available) the device shows having 8.1 GB of available space and 11 songs. What gives? Note: I manually manage music and videos on my devices with iTunes. Always have, always will. Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks!
iTunes version: 11.4
iPhone 6, OS: 8.0.2
iMac Build 10K549, OS Version: 10.6.8

In case anyone else finds this post with a similar problem.. I found a solution. (posted by a user named txforever)
Manually change the date back several months (or years if need be) and then go in to your Recently Deleted Photos folder. Don't be fooled by it telling you there are 0 photos. If you actually open it up, suddenly you will find all the old photos that should've been deleted but never were.
I emptied it and my problem is solved.
Hooray!
I feel like Apple should issue this as a known solution to this bug that a lot of people seem to be having. And also, they should fix the bug of course.

HT4528 A song I purchased shows up in iTunes, but will not show up on my iPhone. When the phone is plugged into the computer, iTunes shows that it is on my iPhone, but it is not. How do I get that song to show up on my iPhone?

I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

OK, and when you searched for information on iPhone error 4005 what did you find?

ITunes shows 2,700 photos on my iPhone, but there's only 161 on the phone.

My iPhone's disc space is suddenly full. iTunes shows I have 7gb of photos (2,700)on my iPhone when I connect it, but my phone really only has 161.
I recently updated to iOS 4.0.1 on iPhone 3GS and iTunes 9.2.0.61 on Windows Vista. I was previously using iOS 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.0.xxx (not sure of which 9.0 version) and I had been using an App called Goodreader. I would transfer my files via USB with an .exe file called GoodreaderUSB to my iPhone. Now I can't since iTunes has been cracking down on that, and Goodreader uses iTunes to USB transfer with their new version and iTunes 9.2.xxx. I have a feeling my old USB transfers are all still in my phone, just unaccessible but iTunes is showing them as photos as far as disc space goes. This could be completely unrelated to Goodreader, but I have a strong suspicion it's the problem.
I've attempted multiple backups and syncs and I'm only syncing 84 photos (part of the 161 on my phone).
I also just realized it's showing 5.8gb of apps, when I did the math quick and only have 2gb of apps.
My iPhone also shows that I have used this much disc space when I run the app "System Activity Monitor."
Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

Finder showing incorrect amount of free space

After the recent Mountain Lion update, my Finder now shows an incorrect amount of free space.
I have a 500GB hard drive, and I have about 150GB free.
After the update, finder says I have 478.4 GB free?
That looks like the total capacity, after you account for system software. I've done a PRAM and SCM reset, disk verification and repair, but still no joy.
Any thoughts? Is it a bug in the update?

Here is the answer....

Re: Hard drive available space shown incorrectly in finder Jan 12, 2012 7:35 PM (in response to ilari Korte)
This is probably like the issue that I was having on my MacBook Pro. If you are using Time Machine on a laptop it stores the diffs in a file on your hard drive. This action can be disabled with the terminal command
sudo tmutil disablelocal
This turns the local Time Machine off. It is up to you if you want to do this, but Finder shows this space as unused since it can be overwritten when needed. It saved me over a hundred GBs of space.

Itunes says no room for music on iphone but there is 26gb free!

I have an ipod with about 14 gb of music on it, just bought an iphone (32gb).
My apps transfered OK but itunes refuses to transfer any music saying
there is no room although the iphone claims 26gb free..

Sims sometimes go bad. You might want to visit your cellular provider, get a new SIM. You'll have to go through the activation process. If it still does the same thing, you might have an issue with the phone.

ITunes 11.1 wont sync music to iPhone 4s

I'm having a problem with getting iTunes to sync music onto my iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1. Tried restarting both devices and it didn't help. Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
J_Workman

Hey everyone, I have also been having this problem and have finally found a solution that is not quite what anyone else has posted yet.
I actually haven't seen the "Syncing Music to iphone" since the new ios update so im quite happy..
Here are the steps that I took to solve:
1. Turned off auto lock and password on iphone
2. After connecting iphone on the summary page the only three boxes I have checked are Automatically sync when iphone is connected, sync only checked songs and videos, manually manage music and videos
3. Now, click the On this iPhone tab. In the bottom right there are "setting" and "Autofill". Under "Settings" select replace all items when Autofilling. I also arbitrarily selected "reserve 1.12GB for disk use".
5. Then I clicked "Autofill" and selected Replace Songs.
6. Lastly I pressed "Sync" while I was still on the "On This iPhone" page.
7. I was actually about to leave the computer and then I saw something magical..."Syncing Music".....Holy Sh...!!!
Notes:On the iPhone: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, personal Hotspot and VPN are all disabled. I use PC. I have about 5000 songs. I do not use Match.
Before today I was also having a disc space issue with a large block of "other". I deleted the music data from my iphone and that fixed that problem, however, the phone was still not syncing the majority (4800 of 5000) songs.
I do not pay for icloud storage, I have never restored my iphone
*I also do not have the "Sync Music" box checked under the Music tab, however, simply doing this did not solve the problem

Itunes keeps turning on 'sync music' to iphone

Everytime I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes will by itself toggle on 'sync music'. When I untoggle it and go back and hand add songs to the phone, it starts a sync process again and low and behold the sync music button is toggled on again! And the songs that I've just added by hand are removed from the phone again.
I recently used the sync to be able to delate some songs that had auto-download to my phone when I upgraded it to iOS7. These songs weren't appearing on the list of music when I hooked my iphone up and I wasn't able to delete them striaght from the phone either. I turned the sync off as soon as I got the songs deleted so I could go back in and add only the small number of songs I wanted to be on my phone.
I'm really at wits end at this point. I'd stop plugging the phone into my computer if I could, but its my only means of charging at the moment. Anyone else have this problem?

ITunes shows no photos in iPad and iPhone

I got 13000 photos in iphoto they dont show in ipad and iphone. 10.9 on mac, 7.0.3 (11B511) on iphone, 5.1.1 on ipad (it is an old one).

Sorry if am not clear.
!- On the mac I have in iPhoto about 13000 pictures with album, maps, faces, etc. It work very well.
2- I go to itunes, swtch to iphone, Go to photos and verify that I have checked "All photos, Albums, Event and Faces". I press sync.
3- After it is finished I go on my iPhone in Photos. It says: "No Photos or Videos" and few sentences describing how to get photos. For my case it means to sync using itunes.
I have looked on the iphone during the whole process, as far as I can aproximately see during step 4 of 6 it creates an empty space for each Album, Face, etc. During step 5 it fill those spaces with the photos. During step 6, whem it say finishing sync everithing disapper and you get "No Photos or Videos".
As a matter of curiosity, one time I had a power failure at the beginning of step 6. After I had some of my photos normally in iphone but when it re-sync I was back to "No Photos or Videos"..
It is exactly the same on the ipadbut but the wording of the message is different having the same sense.
Note that before Maverick, on Mountain Lion, it worked quite normally.

ITunes error -69 when syncing music to iPhone 6+

Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.0.1.26. Factory reset iPhone. Restored iPhone from known good backup. Now trying to get all my music onto the iPhone. iTunes stops in the middle of the sync with this message: "iTunes could not copy [track info] to [iPhone 6+] because an unknown error occurred (-69).
I factory reset iPhone after failure, tried again. iTunes still failed, reporting the same error, but in a different place during the sync.

I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

ITunes won't see/play music on iPhone

Folks: Tried searching the discussions database before posting this but maybe I'M the only idiot facing this problem...
My iPod crashed, so in the meantime I figured I'd use my iPhone. Hooked it to my computer, recongized it fine, Music, audiobooks seemed to transfer to my iPhone fine (I can see them AND play them through tghe iPhone from my computer in iTunes) BUT -
Anytime I go to my iPhone on its own - disconnected from my computer - and launch iTunes, all I get is Store information. I cannot seem to locate ANYTHING I transferred (and I KNOW is on the phone) using iTunes. If I go to "More" as a control and try to launch "Configure" everything is blacked out and I cannot reconfigure anything. It seems like iTunes on my iPhone won't recognize anything I transferred.
Suggestions? Thanks.

Well, sirprise. Apparently iPhones don't use iTunes to play audio. There's an app called just "Music" that acts like an iTunes app...

It shows incorrect time in time zone iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the london time show is wrong,how do i correct this?

It shows incorrect time in time zone on my iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the London time, is wrong,how do i correct this?

I recently got the same problem and noticed that it only started after I'd downloaded a particular app which used the location feature. It was the free version of the Weather Channel that started it off and, since I've deleted it, I've not had the problem of being in Singapore or China since!
I expect there will be other apps that cause the same issues - probably a bad piece of code being used to pick up the location function. It might be worth trying to turn individual apps off that feature in location services to pinpoint which other apps may causing your problem.
Hope this helps!

My iPhone 4s in iTunes shows incorrect free space!

Okay, this is very odd... when my iPhone 4S is plugged in, it says that I have way more free space than should be available? What in the world is going on? I wished I had the 64 GB iPhone, but I don't. It seems to incorrectly calculate my free space on my iPhone 4S repeatedly. I am doing a restore of my iPhone right now, hoping that will address the issue. Now I do have iTune Match turned on and am wondering if that has something to do with this? It seems to get confused with what I had on my iPhone and what is in iTune Mactch. I only saw this after doing the iTune Match thingy.

Hey - did you get anywhere with this?
I have the exact same problem and it is definitely related to iTunes Match (I enabled 24 hours ago and the problem started immediately).
In my case the actual phone displays the correct information (about 1.3gb free) but via iTunes (either connecting over wifi or over usb) it displays 19.4 gb free.
In my case the difference is almost exactly the size of my iTunes library.
Here is what I belive is happening (no fix yet).
I have enabled iTunes Match on my phone but I have left the song files on the phone (i.e. I play files actually from the device and not from the cloud) . Now, when I connect to iTunes, iTunes sees merely that iTunes Match is enabled and therefore belives that the phone does not contain any downloaded music (or at least did not contain any at the point iTunes Match was enabled) and therefore displays a library-size chunk as free space.
One fix which I suspect would work would be to delete my entire library from the iPhone, enable itunes Match and redownload the entire library from the phone. That however is not something I want to entertain at present.
This has to be a bug at Apple's end - I hope they fix it soon!

How do i stop itunes from syncing all my music to iphone

I have a problem where I have all my music syncing on to my iPhone even when "sync music" is unchecked in the iTunes application.
The data bar at the bottom of the screen shows that the sync worked (increased data amounts become available) but the music is still on the iphone.
I have even deleted music off my laptop but it still shows on the iPhone.
I've read the discussions on similar issues but can't seem to find a remedy. I discovered this problem when I needed to create some free space on the phone to add an app update. I decided to just keep my Top Rated music on the phone but as I say, everything is still there. The sync's seem to work.
Any ideas please. I've spent a fair amount of time already on this.
I am using ms notebook. iphone 5 with latest software (iOS 8.1.3).
Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks.

Hello phil.winter,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to remove your music from your iPhone but are thus far unsuccessful. I know that you have already unchecked the Sync Music box and report that the music remained on your iPhone, but did you click the Apply button in the bottom right hand corner of iTunes after you unchecked that box? If not please try this step and let me know if the issue continues.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Click the Sync button in the lower-right corner of the screen to sync your content. Only the information in the content list you've enabled syncing for will sync to your computer. If you made any changes to any of the settings, first click the apply button.
Have a great day,
Joe
