Itunes shows space on iphone but won't sync

My itunes shows 2.24GB of free space on my phone, but when I go to sync, I get a message that says,
The iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 278.2 required).
When I hit OK, the sync process stops and the status bar at the bottom shows 1.62GB free space.
It's an iphone 4 with 7.1.2, and I'm running itunes 12.1.0.71 64-bit on Windows 7 through USB.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
John

UPDATE: I tried clearing all music (by unchecking the sync music box), which makes itunes show 4.79GB free space in the bottom status bar, and when I hit sync, I get the following message (same as last time, but with a difference in additional space required):
The iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 1 MB required).
What gives, itunes?

    my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

    Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and  you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.

  • HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar.  Has any one else seen this?

    Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook.  Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?  I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history.  Also re-downloaded Itunes again.  Same problem.

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

  • ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't sync

    I charged my iPhone last night and went to sleep. When I woke up all my songs were deleted and all my videos. On itunes it said your iphone could not be synced because there is not enough free space. 8.31 GB is required, 56 MB available. But I dont have any songs or videos on their, but my photos will sync to mu iPhone.

    Clerify: iTunes said 6.31 MB needed and I have under Music tabs unchecked the sync and under videos I have sync videos and only checked one small video. I also unchecked sync pictures. This is all under the iphone tab when your iphone is connected to iTunes. Where it shows my iPhone memory space it is has
    Other (orange) 7.16 GB
    Photos (yellow) 10 MB
    Free (white) 109.7 MB
    When I'm on my iphone and go to iPod there is no videos or music and when I charged it last night I didn't click anything and awoke and it was all gone and could not sync it back but only sync videos.
    Thank You for replying

  • B-Day set up in Address book shows up in iCal but won't sync to iPhone

    And it would be my Mothers! I don't sync over air. Always sync through iTunes,, and I have marked "all iCalendars to sync".. I have 3 calendars plus a Birthday's one. I also have a "Birthdays Calendar". After I sync, all the Birthdays EXCEPT this particular one are there. My Birthdays are set up from my Address Book. I presume that is how most of my Birthdays got to appear in the Birthdays Calendar. I can't understand why this particular one doesn't show up. I have deleted the contact (my mother), and re-input, including birthday(obviously), but won't appear still after sync on my iPhone. I did try a separate entry into iCal, adding a Birthday event, and this time, that one showed up after Sync. Can anyone explain, why the separately added on into iCal showed up in my iPhone, and the birthday attached to my address contact in Address book didn't .. or is it a quirk (black hole event).

    Let's see, uh, these are shows I downloaded 6 months ago, so I guess the answer is... no?  Not so simple?
    I looked a lot closer and apparently the shows I bought before are just gone.  I went back to the store to repurchase only to be told I already bought them but if I want to I can buy them again.  Not redownload but actually repurchase.  So no, not so simple.
    Something must have gotten corrupted and apparently once that happens then things get squirrly real fast.  That's ok, I have an engineering degree and am computer literate.  Imagine my mom trying to mess with this?  No way. 
    So no - not nearly simple enough.

  • ITunes shows up as installed but won't open showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    iTunes shows "installed" yet will not open up when I click on icon, showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
    Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
    There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
    If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
    Type:
    cmd
    into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
    The black cmd window will open.
    Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
    echo %path% >documents\path.txt
    This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
    Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.
    (Use ctrl V to paste into the editor, right click doesn't work.)

  • Itunes shows and charges iphone but not ipad2

    Third day of working on this... First my ipad would not open apps.  After installing and reinstalling itunes repeatedly I am still at a place where i plug in my iphone and it shows, charges, and syncs.   But i plup in the ipad to the same usb and nothing...

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    I am having the same issue. I downloaded The 6th Target on 5/10/2007 and it plays fine from iTunes but will not play on my Ipod. When I select the audiobook it returns to the Main Menu. I have downloaded numerous audiobooks and have never had this issue and all of the other audiobooks are still working from my IPod. Any thoughts?

  • Exhcange syncs with iPhone but won't sync with outlook at home

    After hours of trying to get my iphone to sync with the exchange servers at work I have got it to work.
    Now I am trying to setup my home computer to also be able to sync with my work exchange server. I can't seem to get it to work, I do the obvious (enter server info and user name) but it wont work.
    In the iPhone I have the following information -
    Email - username.lasm.company.com
    Server - lasm.company.com
    Usernme - domain\username
    Password - password
    Use SSL is enabled
    In outlook I have
    Server - lasm.company.com
    username - username
    but I can't get it to work.
    If it helps, to access the company website it is just company.com and to access web email it is lasm.company.com/exchange but lasm.company.com will just forward you to the exchange website also.
    PLEASE HELP

    Yes, this is how my exchange works. I can get my Exchange account fine using ActiveSync via an iPhone. I can access Outlook via the web on my iPhone or a Desktop PC using a web browser.
    If you are entering the same settings in Outlook on your home PC as they are set on your work PC and you can't connect to the Exchange server at home it's because your work won't allow a connection from outside their network.
    Ideally, you need to contact your IT department as they should be able to tell you if can configure Outlook on your home PC to connect to their Exchange server or not. However, if they won't allow it then then there is not a lot you can do.
    Windows Mobile devices that run ActiveSync also sync with Outlook. Because of this you get a sync'ed version of your Exchange account on your home PC via your Windows Mobile device. At the moment iPhone/iTunes does not do this. There have been a few comments on these forums about the omission of this functionality so please use http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and feedback to Apple if you require this. If you have a MobileMe account you can get around this problem as you can sync from Exchange > MobileMe > Outlook, but MobileMe is a subscription service.

  • HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • ITunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    iTunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
    In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
    Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

  • My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

    My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
    I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
    Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
    So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
    How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

    Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    Safari 4.0.3 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum.  The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

  • IPhone 4 won't sync to iTunes on iMac

    Recently my iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes on my iMac. When I connect my iPhone iTunes recognizes it and I'm able to click the sync button. It goes the the sync steps, but at the end it says it can't sync becasue my iPhone is not connected to iTunes even though it is.
    My iPhone, iMac and iTunes have the latest software updates.  I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
    I've tried rebooting both my iPhone and iMac, but it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    I'm only asking this because I just got my phone unlocked, and the service provider suggested that I restore my iPhone by syncing it with Itunes.......but maybe I don't have to restore my phone?  Anyone with advice/suggestions?

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?
