I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required). Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again.
So frustrating!!
On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

Obviously you need to delete items from your phone. This is a no-brainer -
What can I do to correct this ?

No. Untick EVERYTHING. Then click apply.
THEN tick what you want to sync then click apply again.
This is a fix for the original posters question.
Yes, so is my suggestion.
Just untick what you don't want on the iPhone sync then sync. -

It means you try to sync an amount of content to your iPod Mini that exceeds for 4 GB, or the amount of space that is available on the iPod. See this article for more details.

annot sync ipad. statement "ipad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 157.3 mb required) There is 1.86gb available on ipad and i am trying to remove items. any thoughts...
If you haven't changed your sync preferences, meaning that you are not trying to add more content from the last time that you synced with iTunes, try quitting iTunes, restart your computer and then try again.
If you are trying to add more content to the iPad than what you had before, you can only use so much of the available storage capacity that is left on the device. You probably need to leave about 10% of the space free so if you have a 16GB iPad, you might not have enough space left to sync that content that you are trying to sync. -

cant sync iPod touch. comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)." I am so confused. I have more than enough space even on PC.
That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

I purchased some children's books from iTunes on my Mac computer and then tried to sync to my iPad and received the note that " The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 2.53 GB required)."
I do not know what steps to take to be able to free up space so I can sync these e-books to my iPad. I do not know how to find the iTunes library on the iPad to identify what I would need to delete.
Thanks for your guidance.How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

The iPad “Grant” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 5.67 GB required).
What do I do?I believe the reference is to space on your hard drive, not on your iPhone.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
See Lion's Storage Display.
You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.

You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits. -
The iPhone “Nanou” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 3.30 GB required). I have been receiving this msg every time i wanna back up my iPhone 5 to my macbook pro. plz help
I'd like an answer to this one too. I need to backup my iphone5 and am getting the same message. My old laptop is pretty full. Isn't there a way to choose an external hard drive to back up to? If there is, I don't see it.

The message is The Ipad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the ITunes library (6.55G required, 6.98G available). which doesn't make sense as there is enough room according to the message

Recently downloaded new itunes when laptop upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. Tried disconnecting and resyncing but that does not work.
The bar across the bottom of my itunes is not full for either device & I don't have an unusually high amount of 'other' on either device. I am only trying to sync the same amount of music etc as I had before the new itunes, so it should fit onto the devices no problem. There are no duplicate songs in the new itunes.
Completely stuck!I suspect the upgrade has confused the mechanism by which iTunes compares what is on the device already with what your sync options imply will be added. In each case backup the device and then immediately restore the device from its backup. I take it all media is in the library and you're not getting erase & sync messages. Otherwise, or if you sync any contact information, then take a look at Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some tips.
