Mp3 files in my iPhone 6 are read as 'others' in iTunes.

Hello~
Recently, I had a very strange experience and found a sort of problem with my iTunes.
Last night I put new music in my iPhone 6 and backed it up as usual.
After unhook the phone from my laptop, I found out that all my audio files(they are all mp3s) are gone!
So I hooked it up again and checked the summary of my device.
On the bottom of the screen there is a bar that indicates how many files and what kinds of them you have in your phone(I don't know the name
of this bar or guage...) and it said "over capacity by 3.50 GB". It was complete nonsense because I filled in only half of the memory(total 64GB).
After I rehooked the phone, the bar's indication was gone right but this time, all my audio files were read as "Others" not "Audio" and still,
my iPhone was not recognizing the audio files.
I did factory re-set and restored phone from the back-up. My back-up didn't restore the mp3s(I don't know why), but iTunes and iPhone identically
read the memory as audio empty. So, I put some mp3s back to my phone and iPhone read them well so did iTunes.
However, still iTunes recognizes them as 'Others'.
At this point, what do you think how this problem occurred? Do you think the iTunes reading audio files as 'others' is a serious problem??
If so, what do you suggest to solve this problem??
P.S : I'm running iTunes(version up-to-date) on Mac OS X 10.7.5 with the iPhone 6(iOS 8.2).

yeah it just happened to me to!!

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • .jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

    .jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

    I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.

  • IPhone disk not read or write using iTunes.

    iPhone disk not read or write using iTunes. I've tried the permissions on my MacBook Pro. I'm convinced it's my phone. This just started out of the blue. Any guidance ?

    1. There is no such thing as an "iPhone disk."  Please recheck that error message.
    2. iPhones have NEVER been able to file transfer with BlueTooth to a computer.  The BlueTooth profile has never been part of the iOS.
    3.  What iPhone model and iOS version, and what iTunes version are you using?
    4. Is this phone jailbroken?

  • Why cant I sync my mp3 files to my iPhone 4?

    Around 4 months ago, I found a load of old mp3 files that I ripped from a CD. I put them onto my iTunes and synced my iPhone (4) (iOS6) over wifi, and it all worked perfectly. The songs stayed on my iPhone for around two months, but since I have updated to iOS7.0.4, and iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7, and now nothing will sync over Wifi, or over cable. These songs still show up on my iPhone, but with the (stationary) installing icon next to it.
    Recently I found (even) more songs in mp3 that I wanted to put on my iPhone. I added them to my library, added the artist, album and cover, and attempted to sync my iPhone. They are not going across, and I'm getting fustrated. I can still listen to the songs in my Library through the "Share" option in the iPhone music app, but for that to work, my laptop and my iPhone have to be connected to Wifi. I want to be able to listen to music without Wifi, and without having to turn my laptop on.
    Is anyone else having this problem? If so, why the **** hasn't Apple fixed this problem?
    Has anyone fixed this problem?
    I appreciate your help,
    Chris.

    For God's sake, over a month, 125 views and no replies?! Please can someone help me?!

  • Can't move my mp3 files Using my new asus notebook with window 8 and iTunes 11.0.2 version.

    HI,
    Need help and advises on why I can't move the converted mp3 files to my iTunes playlist. Was okay with my old dell notebook.
    it keep show ' link' when I drag the file to the playlist but can't click in...
    please help !!,

    Hi rachel65,
    From your description, it sounds like you are prompted to "link missing files" when attempting to modify/move certain items. iTunes has lost track of the actual song file that is on your computer, and we'll need to instruct iTunes on where this file is located. The following information will assist you in tracking down these missing files:

    If you can't find your media, you may be able to download it again if you originally purchased it from the iTunes Store:

  • Media files on my iPod touch are categorized as other and I can't use them

    I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my cousins computer and all my media files were tranfered to other. They still take up space on the iPod but there not where they are supposed to be. I think something like this happened when I had my iPod video but I fixed it easily by opening the iPod files with mycomputer and finding where they were I could right the wrong....however, my iPod touch does not appear in mycomputer wen I connect it but on my laptop wen I open mycomputer it appears as a camera and I cannot do anything with that. Is this normal....should my iPod appear in mycomputer......and how do I fix the problem with my media files being categorized as other.
    P.S. If I add new media files they go where they are supposed to. I could restore my iPod and start over but I don't have backups so I want to get them back in there proper place

    I really don't want to do that......is there anything the people at the apple store can do?
    Also.....I was was having a problem viewing videos. The videos showed as bright colors i.e hilighter yellow and pink and it was distorted. Even youtube. I restored the settings and it stopped....did this happen to any1 else and is it something I should be worried about although its gone?

  • Files Created by external computer are read only on file server!

    Not an indesign question but have searched and searched but can't find an answer, hoping someone in here has had same problem and know if it can be fixed.
    Systems:
    MacPro running snow lepoard as the file server
    iMac reading and writing files to the Macpro given access to shared files.
    Problem:
    When the iMac saves any file types or creates directories everything the iMac makes on the Macpro system is read only to the Macpro user.
    Only solution so far has been to give the iMac user an admin account on the MacPro then everything they create is not read only.
    This works but its not the best of ideas to have them accessing system files and what have you.
    Is there a way of making the iMac create files that are not read only without getting the server version of osx or giving them admin rights to the Macpro.
    Any idea or suggestions would be great
    Thank you

    Problem Solved!
    It all came down to Ownership not shareing or perrmissions.
    For anyone that might need to know:
    in the get info dialog select the "Ignore ownership on this volume"

  • How do I delete music files 0n my iphone that are not removed by itunes?

    I have been unable to clear some of my music files off of my iphone since loading IOS 5. When I use my synce to remove all music some files remain. New files I have added since installing IOS5 I can add and delet fine.  The ones that were installed by restore when IOS5 was loaded will not delete leving me with duplicates when I try to reinstall new purchase.

    Robert...
    You can delete songs directly from the iPhone.
    Tap the Music tab in the Dock.
    Now swipe to the left or right once. You should see a red delete button.

  • HT1391 I have a thousands of duplicated songs from my itunes because my little cousin wanted to convert all the songs in my itunes to mp3 for his mp3 player.  How do I move all of the mp3 files into the trash while leaving the originals from my Itunes?

    My little cousin coverted all my music in Itunes to MP3.  Now I have duplicates of everything.  How do I erase ONLY the duplictaed MP3.  Leaving my original original songs in Itunes available? 
    Thanks!

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I'm missing a few songs on my iphone that are not missing in my itunes. I clicked "sync all music" already.

    There isn't the exclamation point next to the songs in itunes. There are only about seven songs missing on my Iphone. A long with a few album artwork issues. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't my favorite band's stuff missing.

    I ran into this problem as well, random songs missing from one album of a particular band.  First I compared the info of each the missing tracks (command-i while in itunes) to the rest of the songs on the album to see if there were any discrepancies, as this could potentially confuse the iphone.
    It turned out that wasn't the case; the only information that was different for each song was the name of the song and the track number, which is as it should be.  But I did notice that in the 'Track Number' section of the Info tab for each track, the total number of tracks for the album wasn't listed.
    In other words, the track number for each song was listed as 'Track Number x of __'.  When I entered the correct value for the blank box (i.e. the total number of songs for the album (16 in this case)) for each of the tracks, this fixed the problem on my iphone.  So, for example, for track #3, instead of having 'Track Number 3 of __' it now says 'Track Number 3 of 16', and the same goes for all the other tracks.  All I had to do was re-sync my iphone, and voila, problem solved!
    To save time, you can enter this info for all the tracks on the album simultaneously by shift-clicking or control-clicking to select them all at once, and then pressing command-i.  The number you put in the dialog box that comes up (which should have the album name but none of the song names) will be applied to each of the tracks all at once.

  • HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

    I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts.  I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.
