Media will not sync with iPhone/iPad

Set-up MacBook Pro latest and greatest (hardware & software).
External HDD connected via AirPort Extreem (USB), all media..... MP3's, Movies, TV Shows and that you typically sync is stored on HDD via iTunes.
So when I sync my iPhone/iPad nothing (media) that is located on the external HDD sync's.
I am going crazy..... Please help if you can....

Where is your iTunes Library located -on your Mac, or on the external drive?

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

  • HT203180 I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully.

    I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.

    I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem

  • Itunes will not sync with iPhone or ipad

    My ipad or iphone will not sync with my Macbook pro. This is the first "windoze" type I have ever had with an apple product. Been using them since Mac SE.
    Help!
    Itunes hangs if opened but does not hang if I connect as a guest on my macbook. I have deleted libraries, reinstalled Itune but nothing changes.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Itunes keeps saying this computer already authorized, but will not sync with iphone ?

    Itunes will not sync with my IPhone 5s any longer.  It keeps saying that my PC is unauthorized.  But, when I go to authorize, it says it's already authorized, but of course, will not sync even though it's logged in and authorized.  ????  *** ?

    Usually that means you have content, such as apps or media, on the mobile device that was acquired from Apple under a different Apple ID than the one you're using with iTunes. The only way out is to remove that content, or else to sign in to the iTunes Store with the other ID.

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

  • Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

    This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync.  The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected?  I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices.  Any ideas??  I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad.  hanks.

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • My "notes" on iPad will not sync with iPhone thru iCloud. What gives?

    My "notes" on iphone and iPad will not sync thru iCloud. I am sure it is user error...but I can not figure it out.

    It reads like this is a problem on the iOS side. On your iPhone or iPad launch the notes app, in the top left corner tap the button until you are on the Accounts page and see if iCloud is an option. If it is select that option and new notes will push to your Mac. If its not close the Notes app and go to Settings > iCloud > Notes > Toggle On. The option will now be in the notes app as described above. Side note: You may be asked to set up an iCloud email if you haven't already. Hope that helps.

  • I recently downloaded the latest iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes compnent is not installed. Please re-install iTunes (-42404).  I have re-installed 10x and still no luck.  iTunes will not sync with my iPad.  Can anyone hel

    I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed.  Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
    Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
    I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
    Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • IWork files do not sync with iPhone/iPad using iTunes

    When trying to sync Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents by adding the files to the respective app category in iTunes >Apps >Apps  >Documents and pressing Add..., I see the word "sync" on iPhone/iPad just for about a second and then the homescreen on iPhone/iPad reappears. But the files are not there (in Pages, Numbers or Keynote). Other apps I use work fine with this transfer method. What is the problem here?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that to no avail.
    I tried to toggle on and off every setting you can imagine and restarting. Deleting the apps and reinstalling.
    Nothing.

  • Exchange will not sync with any iPad or iPhone

    Apple Community,
    I am running a 2003 exchange environment.
    PST's are NOT allowed.
    Users are running iPhone/iPad with iOS 6.
    Issue:  Calender events created on a computer, on the exchange users profile, will not show up on any iOS device.
    Noticed the following: The events that didn't show up all had external users that were NOT part of the global address book.
    Has anyone noticed this in their environment?

    Looks like I stumped the apple forum.  Apple support couldn't help me either.
