ITunes sync to my iphone problems.

I just got an iphone 4 this past week, and I'll start by saying that I previously had an ipod Touch and these problems I have never had with it.
So when I go into iTunes with my phone synced in, I go into my music folder of my iphone(via iTunes on the PC), not iTunes library. When I edit anything in here, whether it is fixing an album name or artist name or whatever, it won't make those changes on my iphone. After I fix something, it shows it updating and syncing to account for those fixes, but when I go into my iphone itself, nothing has changed. It will delete and add songs fine, but fixes it just won't do. So what I have to do is delete the songs I want to edit first, then go into my iTunes library, fix them there and then re-add them. I also have my phone setup to manualy manage music, so I know it not a problem with any automatic syncs with my library.
Also, I have a secondary problem, not really related, but still kind of. But whenever I edit anything, or add or delete music, or just anything I make the smallest change to that it will sync to my iphone, at the top of itunes where it shows it syncing, it will also quickly go through the same 75 songs saying that they are copying. It is a quick few seconds every time it does it, but its really irritating. Even if I simply just change like one letter of a song name, it does it, and it does it no matter even when it isn't one of those 75 particular songs that I am even editing. It does it really fast, so its impossible to notice which each of those 75 they are, but I do manage to notice some of them each time, so I knew its always the same ones. Ive noticed that these songs it shows are songs that I have purchased. But I don't know what is special about them in particular since I have 152 purchased songs in total.
Thanks to anyone who wants to take a stab at trying to figure out what the crap is going on.
BTW. my iPhone started out on 5.0.1, then just today updated to 5.1, but these problems happed before and after I updated.

Well, that's very simple. iTunes simply does not update the information in the library simply because it was edited in the file. Do the editing within iTunes.
As for the other issue, it's a non-issue. Simply ignore it.

why wont my ticked items on itunes sync to my iphone??

It is a 7G... I believe. Not sure how one would be able to tell for sure.
I thought it maybe the an HD vs. SD problem.
I have just re-downloaded the movie in the SD format... with the same message returned.
I am very new to Apple... I am finding navigating iTunes extremely difficult.

ITunes Syncs Podcasts to iPhone - Podcast App only Shows 1

Hi all,
I'm experiencing an odd bug with Podcasts that I'll try to explain as succinctly as possible.
There is a local radio show that I manually download from their website and listen on the Podcasts app through my iPhone. Typcially, I download the MP3 of the daily broadcast, copy into iTunes, change the "Media Kind" to "Podcasts" and sync with my iPhone. It's worked fine for a year.
However, since doing a clean install of Mavericks and iTunes, it's been acting wacky. In this example, let's say I have 5 episodes of the radio show from last week. They're named by their air date (10-28-2013, 10-29-2013, etc.), and look fine within iTunes. When I sync them to my iPhone, I can see on the progress bar that all 5 episodes copy over. But when I open up the Podcasts app, all I see is the newest epside (11-01-2013). If I try to play that episode, it says it is playing the 11/1 episode, but it ends up playing one of the other 4 episodes.
I've tried unsyncing Podcasts through iTunes (so everything is deleted from my phone), and then synching again. Same problem. I've also tried unsyncing, deleting the Podcasts app, and then reinstalling the app. Same problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on what I should try next? Is there a cache or library file on my phone or Mac that I need to reset? Thanks!

After a lot of troubleshooting, I found a fix. It seems the newest versions of the Podcast app rely heavily on ID3 tags, so you've got to have a bare minimum of tags set in order for the app to properly recognize them.
To get started, you'll need an ID3 editor. I used this one. http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
Before you import the MP3 file into iTunes, open it in the ID3 Editor and adjust the following tags...
1) Starting on the "Standard" tab, make sure "Enable V2 tag" is checked, and you have something for Title, Artist, Year, Genre ("Podcast").
2) Still on the "Standard" tab, if "Enable V1 tag" is selected, go ahead and de-select it.
3) On "Extended" tab, add a date to "Released" in the following format - YYYY-MM-DD
4) On "Podcast" tab, make sure the "Enable podcast tab" box is checked. Then, enter any website under "Identifier" and "Feed." I just used http://www.google.com
After setting those tags, just click on the "Update" button, and you can now import the file into iTunes, sync with your iDevice, and the Podcasts app should stop acting a fool.

ITunes sync poor performance [iPhone 4 iOS 4.1] [Windows Vista x64]

I am using an iPhone 4, iOS 4.1 and am running iTunes on a Windows driven laptop, x64 Vista. I have been an iPhone user for 2 years now, and recently I have gotten some trouble that I can not seem to fix by myself, nor Google.
The thing is, iTunes is really slow while syncing. Most of the time Firefox is unusable while syncing. iTunes.exe does not take up a lot of CPU usage, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe however often does take 50% of CPU usage (running dual core, so it might be 100% on one of these cores).
iTunes has worked properly on my device, heck, sometimes it still does, sometimes even during sync it works properly fast, only to come to this slowness somewhere during syncing.
The worst I have seen iTunes perform is during "Synchronizing apps with iPhone (step 4 out of 6)". Here, iTunes passes all my installed apps (200+), and takes at least one minute per app. I have recently only once seen iTunes doing this properly, than it covered 5 apps per second, the way it should be I may assume. Also, when cancelling or interupting this sync, and than reattaching the iPhone, I get an error ending with 0000065. The only way to clear this seems to be rebooting iPhone.
I am afraid of reinstalling iTunes alltogether, because I do not know what will happen with my iPhone backups (syncing multiple iPhones with this computer; 3), apps and music playlists.
Quite some text, but I really hope it's enough troubleshooting so we can fix some of this. iTunes is just unworkable right now, and seeing as I have a few problems with the iPhone as well, it has to start working on me!
As for the iPhone problem: the camera shutter won't open up! Can get the small front camera to work, however not in Apple's camera app itself .
Please, what can I do to speed things up? Many thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm running iTunes 10.1.1.4
Also, this might be worth mentioning: I removed some backups/restore-points (using Dutch version of iTunes, not sure what US/UK calls them, "reservekopieen") of the iPhones I sync with iTunes, ones I ought useless. I can not imagine this made iTunes slower, but I can not rule out either that this problem has occured since I deleted these backups from iTunes and HDD.

No data is stored with the iTunes app. iTunes accesses data that is stored elsewhere. Deleting iTunes won't touch or affect any data accessed by iTunes no different from deleting Word not touching or affecting any Word documents saved on your computer.
Even if your iPhone's backup was deleted with iTunes which it won't be since it is stored completely separate, you can manually create a new backup for your iPhone without syncing your iPhone with iTunes, and your iTunes library on your computer which is also stored completely separate should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data stored completely separate from the apps that access the saved data.

ITunes Sync Error with iPhone

While sync'ing my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.0.4) with iTunes (11.1.4.62) running on Windows 7, it gets to Step 3 of 6, and pop up an error that reads "Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll". Tried repairing, and uninstalling/re-installing both iTunes and iCloud.
Any help would be great.

Ever since I installed the latest iTunes update, I've had a variety of problems. My iPhone actually lost all sound. I couldn't hear calls coming in, couldn't make calls going out, no reminders, text notifications, etc. So, I got my replacement phone yesterday only to find that iTunes no longer recognized my attached phone. I had to get tech support to help before I could back up my old phone and transfer data to my replacement. An essential driver had been corrupted. That got fixed, but then I couldn't sync. After nearly 6 hours, tech support still hadn't solved the problem - not for lack of trying. Anyway, I tried to sync again this morning and got the "Resource not found: Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll" message." I then happened to check in this forum and followed the lead from the post above.
I have an iPhone 4S and Windows 8 and use Outlook 2013. Here's what worked for me.
Close iTunes
Close Outlook
Open Control Panel/Programs
Right click on "Apple Mobile Device Support"
Select "Repair"
Wait a few moments ("Repair" doesn't show any indications of status, so I just wanted to be sure it was done.)
Open iTunes
Resync (I selected to replace my phone Contacts/Calendar from my Outlook, but that may not be necessary.)
Instead of Sync hanging for hours like it did yesterday, Sync took less than 10 seconds total. I didn't even have to reboot. YAY!

ITunes sync/icloud/match/storage problems...

Howdy!
There seems to be quite a few topics out there similiar to mine, but I still need help.
I'm pretty confused as it looks like I've lost the grasp of syncing between my iphone 4 and macbook, so bear with me please...
I need to clear space on my 8gb Iphone 4, and iTunes is claiming that a significant portion of space is taken by "audio". This is strange, because there are no podcasts on it, and I haven't put that much music on there intentionally.
When I go to the macbook's iTunes, DEVICES>IPHONE>SUMMARY... there is no option to manually manage music, only an option to manage videos.
When I go to DEVICES>IPHONE>MUSIC... all it says is "ITUNES MATCH IS ON" with no options or controls on the syncing of the phone's music.
How do I delete music so there's more room on the phone? I went through most of the songs on the phone and deleted quite a few, but it still says there's over 3 gb's, which seems impossible. Most of the remaining songs have the Cloud icon next to them, leading me to believe they're not physically there.
It just seems like there's definitely something I'm missing. So how did any music get there at all? How do I control playlists,etc? Is syncing just filling up empty space on the phone with random music?
Not to mention the mysterious "OTHER" that's taking up almost 1 GB of data on the phone...

One thing you could do is create a playlist with just 'x' amount of songs in it and then only sync that playlist to your phone. You could also have iTunes create a 128 kbps versions of the songs to have on your phone, which will allow you to add twice as many songs in the same amount of space or give you that much more free space with the same amount of songs.
I think you may have to go to the 'Music' tab to manage how music is controled on the phone (not sure as I'm not at a computer with iTunes).
I often wondered what the 'Other' was. Probably the OS.
I have a question for you. When you turned on iTunes Match on your iPhone, what happened? The bottom line for me is the same as you. I have much more music in iTunes than I can fit on my iPhone. I keep a few hundred songs on my phone and thats the way I want to keep it. If I turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone I get a warning "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device" It doesn't say what it will replace it with. Will it try to add all 3,000 songs from iTunes? Will it just replace the songs currently on my iPhone with the iTunes match versions?

Why won't my itunes sync to my iphone?

My daughter gave me her iphone 3. My computer recognized the iphone, says it is synching the iphone with itunes but when I open the ipod icon in the iphone it shows no music and states "no content". What am I missing?

I've had my iPhone for 2 years. I had the same problem and it would backup the phone but would not add new music or delete music I wanted to remove. After completely erasing the phone and restoring to an older backup (1 month old) it finally allowed me to sync and added all the music and apps. It just took a couple hours the first time. I have synced a few times since then with no problems. Not a great solution but it seemed to work.

Why wont a playlist form itunes sync with my iphone?

I made a playlist in itunes but it wont let me sync it to my iphone. HELP!!!

I'm having the same problem too. I just reset my iphone 4S and thought that would help. Nope. I lost over 200 plus songs in my library since that ios7 update. My hubby is so lucky. He never updated his iphone from the i06 and he has no problems with his iphone nor his itunes. I really thought something was wrong with my iphone.

Why aren't all of the apps in my itunes syncing to my iphone?

I have several apps that are saved in iTunes, purchased on either my ipad or macbook, that i would like to sync to my new iphone. Some apps show up when I plug in my iphone to my computer and click on the app section of my iphone, but many do not. I also have iCloud between my ipad and iphone and the apps don't transfeer that way either?? I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out... help please. thanks!

I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes.
I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either.
Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct?? that seems odd...

How do I stop iTunes syncing apps to iPhone?

I only ever use iTunes to sync audiobooks to my iPhone. I don't (or very rarely, usually at new device time) use it for backups or transferring music. All I want iTunes to sync to my device are the audiobooks I select. Why then does it insist on rearranging all my apps to a predefined layout from inside iTunes and putting BACK apps I deleted months ago?
I know this question has been asked before, but not for a while. Apparently I can go down my list of apps and select "Remove" or "Will Remove" etc but there used to be a check box for "sync apps". Why did Apple feel it was a good idea to remove this? I am sick to death of adding a new book to my phone then having to go and delete unwanted apps from the device - again - and rearrange the order back to how I want it. I should not have to do all this in iTunes before syncing. One button "do no sync apps" is all I want.
Am I missing something obvious or does Apple really believe that iTunes should override my preferred layout with one that it feels is right?

What happens if instead of using the sync button you just manually drag and drop your audiobooks onto your iPhone>Books in the Devices list.
Obviously you would have to have the Sidebar open to do this.

Is there a way to make itunes sync with your iPhone?

Hello,
I was using the swipe feature on my iPhone to delete off about 1000 songs that were on my iPhone that I had no use for. I do not want these at all and now I'm trying to match my iTunes to my iPhone. Is there a way to do this? I have an iPod that I would like to have the same songs on it and I can't figure out how to do this other than just do the same thing I spent a lot of time doing on the iPhone. Which seems dumb to have to do.
thanks,
Mike

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

Syncing/Backing Up iPhone Problem

When I sync my iPhone 3G, it says backing up iPhone. And it takes literally about 10 minutes jus for the backup. Why does it take so long? And can I turn it off?

Is there a way to see what files iTunes just synced with my iPhone?

OK, I've been working with my music files trying to find some sort of work-around to iTunes not updating or deleting my lyrics on my iPhone. I been working on one music file at a time. I'll make a change of some sort, then have iTunes "Sync" to my iPhone which is connected directly to the laptop.
I've only updated ONE file, but I see iTunes syncing many files. The first time I can see why, but I'm doing my syncing mere minutes apart, so after the first sync, I would think the only thing to be "synced" would be the one music file I just changed, but I keep seeing others.
The problem is, the list of files being synced goes by too fast to read.
Is there a way in iTunes to see a list of what files it just synced with my iPhone?
I'm using iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 Home Premium system.

What exactly does the Library item contain?
Have you thought of changing the Library item to a Server Side Include instead?
Takes all the tedium out of updating by letting the server do the mundane work for you.
Create one text file (containing the current Library item code), add a single include statement in all website pages to include the text file. Upload. The entire website is then up-to-date.
To update all affected pages in future, you merely edit the one small text file (the Include), upload and you're done.

I deleted the backup on itunes, synced again and got the error message: itunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone

I am using iphone 3GS, after syncing for few times and got the errors. I deleted the backup from Edit-> Preferences-> Devices. Then I synced again, there was an error message: itunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. What can I do? I have no backup anymore on ituens.

babesharon
I closed iTunes & manually deleted the file which was still stored locally even though it didn't display in Preferences. I have vista so I went to
C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync and deleted everything in the Backup folder (though I left the folder as is). If you have a different OS search the apple website for the backup location.
I reopened iTunes & Synced with out a problem. I also got the update to install.
Good luck.
