ITunes won't sync album artwork on iPhone 4s, Software 6.1.3

So I bought a new laptop and wanted to sync my music but it told me that I had to delete it in order to be used with a new computer. I did so because I have it backed up. Now when I try to drag music into it, it syncs but no matter what I do the album artwork doesn't show up in my iPhone but I have it my library. Its starting to really frustrate me. I tried copying and pasting the artwork when my iPhone is connected but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

I want to second this problem. The only difference is that I'm on an iPhone 5. I can delete most songs by swiping my finger across them and hitting the delete button, but every once in a while a song can't be swiped... nothing happens. I have tried looking for something in common with the songs, but have not come up with anything.

My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.
I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption
Itunes software issue
After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating
Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

Itunes won't sync music to my Iphone 5C

Remote app won't display album artwork on IPhone 5s

Hi All,
When I connect my IPhone 5s to my iTunes library (mac mini) the album artwork is not displayed. Instead; there's text (Artist, Album and song title) where the artwork should be.
My friends and family with various other iOS devices have the artwork display fine! What's wrong with my IPhone?!
Please help!

iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1
Removing then restoring the music library still showed unsynced artwork.
The problem was eliminated (finally!) after I deleted all downloaded artwork. Some but not all songs had the proper artwork embedded in their files. It appears that iTunes for Windows displays the proper embedded artwork but in Music on the iPhone the downloaded artwork over-rode the embedded artwork and was out-of-sync.
Upon deleting all downloaded artwork many albums' artwork was blank, both in iTunes for Windows and Music on the iPhone but at least artwork was synced! I copied artwork images off the Internet and embedded artwork in music files. Sync problem resolved.
This is costly in file space; there'd be a single instance of downloaded artwork per album vs. multiple instances of artwork in embedded files. So be it.
Perhaps if I had deleted all embedded artwork and relied solely on downloaded artwork.... will remain unanswered.

My iTunes won't sync music to my iPhone

Ever since I updated my Macbook to OS X Mavericks, my iTunes will not sync my downloaded music onto my iPhone 5. When I plug my iPhone in with the cable and sync, it does steps 1 and 2 in the sync process, skips 3-5, and then just finishes with step 6. If I create playlists and download music from my phone, it all transfers to my Mac, but if I download music and create playlists from my Mac, it won't show up on my phone. If I turn on Home Sharing, everything shows up, but I don't really want to have that on all the time and I still want to be able to listen to all my music while I'm traveling. I have plenty of space on my iPhone so I know that is not the problem. I was hoping it was a glitch in the Mavericks software and the updates would fix it, but I've had no luck so far. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Dear smart people at Apple
I've worked out why my songs wouldn't download, you'd moved it all to iCloud. In the process, losing over 300 songs. Now I know I had a fair amount of illegal downloads in my itunes but who gave you permission to go in there and delete them? not really on that is it? plus you've deleted songs that i'd put on from CD! what's all that about? I actually went through the effort of buying a CD (a very old fashioned way these days, you probably send songs via thought waves at head office) which i've paid for and since that time got rid of the CD thinking my songs would be safe. You don't know how cross I am.
Queen collection - gone
Stone Roses - gone
U2 - gone (mostly for the best)
S Club 7 - gone (definitely bought that)
Come on chaps, fancy giving me my music back, that I partially paid for?
Thanks, a ****** off iPhone and Itunes customer.
Oh by the why whilst I'm here, i'm on my 2nd iPhone 5 as the first was faulty from the start as the 'genius' who designed it, and the moron who manufactured it forgot to put the glue on the back of the battery. Therefore instead of iPhone I bought an iRattle. Sort it out man. You used to be great, and now, well I just don't know.

ITunes won't sync or back up iPhone 4.

I tried uninstalling everything on the computer and then re-installed it all, and nothing works! Every time I try to sync the phone it freezes at "backing up". iTunes is running the most current version, but it won't let me install the newest 5.0.1 on the iPhone because it keeps freezing during the back up. I haven't been able to sync/back-up since I upgraded the iPhone's software a couple weeks ago to 5.0.
Please help!!!

I spoke to customer service and they said to reset your iphone by holding down both the power and round button at the same time to reboot. Should have never downloaded the IOS 5.0.1 There's no other solution but to reboot everytime your Iphone 4s freezes.... Hope this helps

ITunes won't sync from Mac to iPhone 6

I have a MacBook Pro using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
I use iTunes 12.1.26.
I recently bought an iPhone 6, 64gb version 8.1.2 and am trying to put the music I have on iTunes on my Mac into my new iPhone 6.
It's not working.
I connect the two via the USB cable that came with the phone, and the Mac registers that they are connected. While the two are connected I can play songs from my Mac on the iPhone if I have Home Sharing switched on, but that is it. When I try to sync them and transfer songs over, it says that the sync is in progress, and goes through 4 syncing steps in order; however the total time is only about 4 seconds and no music transfers. The total music is about 11gb and the iPhone does register that about that much memory should be used up by a sync. I have pressed every 'sync' button I can find more times than I can count and nothing works.
I have absolutely no idea what to do and no forum that I have been on yet has an explanation.
If anyone has any ideas for how to help me (using basic terms please because I'm not that savvy with computers) I would really appreciate it.

mine will appear to sync then after its complete the display bar showing memory usage immediately retracts to how it was before syncing. I've tried turning off my phone and re-downloading the latest iTunes, I have a mac book pro. please help I only got a phone with a lot of memory so that I could have music!

HELP! iTunes won't sync iPhoto Library to iPhone 6

PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

ITunes won't sync music to my iphone.

A little context. I've always shared an itunes account with my cousin and all our songs would be the same. But to make this possible i would have to meet him and sync my iphone on his computer. But i have my own computer now with alot of different songs and would like to sync the new songs and get rid of all the old songs on my phone.
Whenever i hit the "sync" button it makes a little notification button but does nothing. It also greys out and when i uncheck "sync music" and hit "apply" still nothing happens. Also when i hit "back up now" nothing happens aswell. Therefor since im not very tech savvy i dont wanna risk restoring my phone and potentially screwing everything up and deleting it all. I can't manually drag songs into the "on this iphone" option either. Any advice would be much apprieciated.

iOS devices sync with one and only one computer.
Attempts to sync to a different computer will remove all the media on the iOS device and replace it with media from the new computer/library.

ITunes won't sync everything from my iPhone 4 because my iPhone has had two different names! Please help

my iPhone 4 has had two different names and when I try to sync with iTunes on my HP laptop running Windows 8 it will only sync certain songs and apps, even though I have used the same Apple ID. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Please!

cutwright 93,
I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
(I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
1. On the phone, go to Music.
2. Click "More."
3. Click "Shared."
4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

Deleted album off iPhone (synced from CD), won't sync album back onto iPhone 5C running iOS 8.1

I was trying to remove a certain song from my song, and came to the conclusion that I could get the selected music back after REMOVING ALL MUSIC FROM MY PHONE. This deleted the songs I wanted to keep, but not the one I wanted to delete. Anyways, that's not the point. After this, I tried to re-sync the CD (Taylor Swift - 1989) back onto my phone, but to no avail. Here are a few screenshots to help better understand my situation.
The songs still play when I am on the CD, but when I try to play them from the iPhone (second image), they do not play. Please help when possible. This is not urgent, but I would like to have it fixed soon.

Solved. I went into the iPhone (second image) and under music in the first list, I unselected the "Sync Music", Applied changes, Synced my phone again, and then turned "Sync Music" back on. After syncing, the music started playing again.

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

I switched from iphone 3GS to an iphone 4. Now itunes won't sync my apps, music, etc

I switched from iphone 3GS to an iphone4. Now itunes won't sync my apps, music etc? I'm using the current version of itunes for win7.

I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

Hi,
Two problems here guys
1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
Somebody help please

Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!
