ITunes won't synch with iPhone 4s

This is driving me nuts.
iTunes goes through the whole synch process step-by-step including saying it's determining tracks to add etc etc but then it doesn't update the music and often doesn't update the app's. I may have to try synching 2, 3 or 4 times before it will actually applies the changes.
The annoying thing is it will say it's synched & the synch is complete but it isn't and hasn't.
I don't receive any alerts saying that the synch coudn't be completed etc.
Presently have around 21Gb free so it's not a space issue.
iPhone is latest iOS update & iTunes is likewise.
Help please.

same problem here, iphone 4s, 5.1, and I just updated itunes. it has a mind of its own and syncs the music it wants.
Hmmm, okay, so not just me then.
I spent nearly 4 hours the other day trying to get this sorted. Even did a full restore. Finally got everything back onto my iPhone.
I switched it to wireless synching in-case the problem was with USB & that didn't fix the problem.
I managed to get onto Apple tech support & the dude was great, escalated the case to iTunes support in the US but it all fell apart then as they didn't pay attention to the description of the problem & just dismissed me with a pro-forma trouble-shooting response.
Looks like I'll have to waste still more time & book a Genius Bar appointment.
You know online self-service help & everything is fabulous if it delivers what the customer needs but there has to come a point where you can get support from a human that actually delivers.

  • Hello,  Is there a way to import books from the sony reader library to the itunes library, for synching with iphone?

    Hello,
    I would like to transfer books from my Sony reader library to iTunes, in order to synch with iPhone.
    I get the message that it's in the wrong format, & can't be viewed.
    How do you change the format?
    Regards,

    I understand now, it can't be done.

  • ICal on iMac won't synch with iphone 4 with 4s software update

    Help please.
    Since I updated my iphone 4 with the software for iphone 4s my ical on my imac won't synch with my iphone calendar. Also events are duplicated. It is driving me crazy as I have to check both clandarsd to ensure I don't miss any events and have to physically re enter them separately into the different calendars.
    If the fix involves backing up or anything technical can you please explain fully how I do it as I am not a very experienced mac user.
    Thanks
    Nicole

    "Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me."

  • ITunes Won't Open With iPhone or iPad

    I do want iTunes to launch when my iPhone and iPad are connected.  That option is checked in the summery under devices.  But iTunes won't launch.  Don't know if this is aniPhone/iPad problem or iTunes. Any help most welcome.

    you have to connect your phone, then it's in the summary of your phone, not in itunes preferences. uncheck the 'open itunes automatically' then recheck it. of course you might have to manually launch itunes first if you are having the problem of it not launching automatically.
    edit to say i just realized that i responded to you that your solution to go to itunes preferences worked for me, now i just realized that the above way is different. sorry. but the way i said does work.

  • My iTunes won't sync with iPhone 4s. Anyone help?

    I've selected and deselected in iTunes.
    I've switched devices on and off.
    I've phoned a friend.
    I've been on settings on both devices to check that they can communicate with each other.
    Help please!!!

    This is a known problem that is affecting many 4S owners, including my wife and me. If you read the forums there seems to be no single fix, and often no fix at all. On our phones the music app won't even start without crashing, and we wake up every morning to a message that our phones haven't been backed up to iCloud in X number of weeks, so we need to plug it in and connect to wi-fi (which they were all night). Apple has essentially broken the 4s for many users with iOS 7, so we have to sit tight and hope for some programming crumbs to dribble our way with a bug fix, or upgrade.

  • ITunes 10.5 synching with iPhone iOS 5.0..."other" takes up a ton of space?!

    So, Something is wrong with my iPhone...
    I just updated it yesterday, and all of my music was off of it when clicking on the 'music' icon (even though in settings it said it was on there?)
    but the bigger problem is the capacity of my phone... seen in the photo, it says that the 'other' takes up 16 gigs. This happened on my iPad, so i took off a ton of photos, etc, only to find out that it was because i had podcasts synched on. I took them off of my phone, along with videos, but this still shows up. what do i do?

    This happened to me, but not as dramatically.  I restored the iPhone from a back up and that shrunk the Other to a less alarming chunk.

  • Music from iTunes does not synch with iPhone 5s

    After updating to iOS 8 all my playlists disappeared. After resetting my phone I restored from iCloud. All my apps synched, but none of my music that is checked to synch. Only music that synched was purchased. Playlists synched, but none of the music that was not purchased through iTunes.

    Hi,
    Can you clarify the nature of your issue. iTunes match scans your iTunes library to determine what can be matched or needs to be uploaded.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

    iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later  for iTunes.  Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
    When I check for iTunes version  10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

    I'm having the same problem.
    iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
    I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
    Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
    I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
    Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
    Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
    thanks

  • Apps won't synch with iTunes

    Apps loaded on iTunes won’t synch to my iPhone and Apps loaded directly to the phone won’t synch to iTunes. Everything else works just as it should.
    What do I do wrong and what can I do to solve?

    Sorry, just found out, this did the trick:
    "Try reauthorizing your computer with iTunes.
    At the iTunes menu bar, go to Store and select Authorize Computer."

    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!
