Music and Photo Syncing Bugs in IOS7?

I have tried several times to sync my iPod to iTunes but I'm running into two significant issues:
1) I have 947 songs on the playlist that I sync to the iPod. Comes to about 4.4 GB on my computer. However, when I hit sync, this happens:
Sometimes, a couple minutes after the sync is finished, it slides back to 4.45GB on the computer screen until I hit sync. The iPod still says it is taking 8.4 GB. The second I hit sync, the music bar slides up to 8.4 GB again.
I have tried pulling the music off and re-syncing it, but this still occurs. Removing the music also removed 3 GB of 'other' data which reappeared when the music was re-synced. I also am unable to load any new items onto my iPod because of space constraints, it seems to think the entire 8GB is taken, leaving me with 800 phantom songs/4GB phantom space taken.
This is not occurring with my iPad Mini, which is also synced to the same computer, music library, etc.
2) The other syncing bug I have is approximately 3,000 phantom-ish pictures. They were synced to my iPod from iPhoto from my previous computer, which then suffered a hard drive failure. The photos are accessible on the iPod, but I can't seem to access them from my new computer, either through iPhoto or Image Capture. They both say there are no pictures on the iPod, even though there are. Anybody know any programs/tips to pull those photos?
Since I still haven't manage to pull the photos from my iPod since the hard drive failure, I am reluctant to wipe the iPod completely because I'd lose them. Any idea what's going on with my iPod? I'm up to date with software (iOS 7.1.2, iTunes 11.4, Mavericks)

To get synced photos off the iPod you need a third-party program. I know TouchCopy and Phone view work but do not know if the free iFunBox works.
For your other problem:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Iphone syncs music and photos, not calendars and contacts

    I have had my Iphone since last July, and have had virtually no issues with it. However, since the last security update, I have been unable to successfully sync my iphone to my powerbook. The phone is properly recognized, and I can initiate a sync, but the sync seems to get stuck synchronizing contacts. Nothing freezes - the computer and phone are still operational- it just seems that the sync doesn't ever end. I even let it run overnight, without success. The same thing occurs if avoid syncing contacts, and start with syncing calendars. However, if I don't sync calendars or contacts, music and photos sync properly, and the sync completes itself.
    I tried restarting the iphone and re-installing itunes, without success.
    Please let me know if anyone out there has any ideas.

    In the back of my computer. There isn't one on the side or front. I've checked the USB settings and it says that it's a 2.0

  • WHEN WILL THE MUSIC SYNCING BUG IN IOS7 BE FIXED?

    WILL AN **APPLE REP** PLEASE REPLY ?? 
    My library randomly skips songs after upgrading to IOS7.3.  This is probably not related to Mavericks, as Windows users are complaining about the same issue. I have tried ALL of the suggested fixes, wasting many hours of time needlessly dealing with this issue. The music syncing bug with IOS7 is completely unacceptable. 
    I have unsynced, re-synced, made a playlist with all of my tracks, done a full restore, and transferred purchases.  After it seemingly copies all of my songs over, it still skips random tracks when I shuffle my songs.  I then connect to iTunes, go to devices->transfer purchases, it copies the songs that were skipped, and then other songs skip. 
    THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH USED TO WORK AND NOW IS BROKEN. 
    There have been threads on this issue since at least October.  Why has this not been addressed ? Music playback is a core feature of IOS devices.  I have spent quite a bit of money actually buying music from Apple on my phone, and  cannot listen to it.  Is this just a ploy to force everyone to pay for iTunes Match (which would probably not work anyway?) I have been an Apple user for over 20 years, and this is really disconcerting.  I hate to say it, but if Steve Jobs were still around, heads would have rolled over this issue by this point.  All the pretty icons and UI tweaks in the world are less important than actual working functionality. What has become of AAPL ?

    No, this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to speak to Apple Technical Support folks, you'll either need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or call them directly. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page.
    Best of luck.

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Any way to restore music and photos if iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    is there any way to restore music and photos on iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    You said the music and photos were all erased from the iPod? And now you say your computer and all backups are gone. There is therefore no way to recover your files short of paying thousands of dollars to a professional data recovery laboratory and even then there's no guarantee you'll get all of it – or even some of it – back.

  • Do I need to keep all my music and photos on my pc after I sync them?

    It appears I must first load all music and photos onto my pc, then sync them to my iPad or iPod. Ok. Now I have all this data in 2 places..the pc and the target device, which is a gross waste of pc space. Can I delete all these things from my pc after they've been synced to the target, or must they stay on the pc forever??? Can't I delete from my pc all that's been synced, then if I want to add 1 song just add that song to what's already on the target, or must I reload EVERYTHING all over again just to add 1 more song?

    If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

  • I pad will not sync all music and photos

    My I pad 2 went into recovery mode after trying to do a software update. Now when I try to put in music and photos it will only put in a little bit of what I have. I tried both methods of syncing and the same results occur. Selected all folders, and selected individual folders, but nothing works.

    I'm in the same age bracket and would never give up! I learn new things every day.
    Here is a support article that covers a whole host of things for Windows users to try. One of the most common things that you can try first is to disable your antivirus software and firewall and see if that helps. Restart your PC and the iPad, check for driver updates, etc. All of this is covered in the article and the links in the article.

    This is how you restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do I sync my ipad to a used laptop without losing all my apps, music and photos stored on my ipad?

    I have had my Ipad 2 for a few years and have stored all my music and photos on it. I recently was given my dad's laptop and would like to use it to store my photos and music now.  How do I sync my Ipad to the laptop without losing all my stuff?

    Hello kactfl
    The first thing is in iTunes; make sure to check the box in Preferences that prevents syncing devices automatically. Then check out the 2nd article, it will get all of your purchased content like apps and music into iTunes. And then the last article will assist with getting the pictures off the iPad onto the computer.

  • Sync Music and Photos to two iPods

    Can I sync two ipods to my itunes music library and iphoto albums on a Mac?
    I know I can have separate libraries for both apps which can be selected at startup but my wife and I share a PC and all our music and photos are on it. I want one subset on my ipod and she another subset. Is there any way to do this?

    Sure, simply plug in each iPod (not at the same time) and configure it for however you want it to sync. Plug in the next one and do the same. iTunes keeps track of different iPod and will remember each one so that it can sync them completely differently from one another if you like.

  • I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

    Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

    With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

  • My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc.  Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available.  they appear to be lost.

    my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available.  I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth.  I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not.  So what do I use so that when i lose data on  my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.
