Music is syncing as 'other' data and isn't accessible on iPhone

Hi,
Basically, I was having problem with my phone so I took it to an Apple store and they restored it.
After restoring the back up onto the phone, over half of my music has synced onto the iPhone as 'other' data and does not appear in the music app.

It can't be. They all play fine on my laptop, and before taking it to the Apple store, they all synced onto the phone fine.

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • MP3's Added to Ipod get classified as "Other Data" and cannot be played

    Evening Folks,
    Currently when i hook up my Ipod to my computer and place music from my Itunes onto my Ipod they will show up under Music and register as being placed on the Ipod.
    When i Eject the Ipod from my computer and go to access the music files on the Ipod itself they are no where to be found.
    Afterward, when i hook the Ipod back up to the computer the files will be shown to be Other Data and will not show up in any of the accessible menu's thorough Itunes... however the space all the music took up is all correctly labeled.
    Ive attempted the regular Restore and Reset options and this has not solved the problems unfortunately... besides sending the Ipod in for repair im at a loss and hope that someone on here has gone through a similar issue and will be able to help out.
    Thanks so much to anyone who attempts to help me!!

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Sounds like the library database on the iPod is corrupt in some fashion. Since restoring the normal way doesn't seem to help, try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it properly.

    i have been using an iPhone 4 till date and now migrated to a iPhone 4s.The contacts are not copied in total from the other phone what should i do

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    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.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • Syncing music results in large Other data on iphone

    using 8GB iphone 3G and iTunes 7.7 on mac OS 10.4.11, when i sync music to the iphone, i get 1.42 GB of music plus 3.31GB of Other. when i turn off music syncing, Other goes does to 228MB. this happens if i have all other syncing but music turned off. Any suggestions for what i can do to reduce the Other data being sync'd as part of music? Thanks.

    seems to have resolved itself on the 4th sync.

  • After fresh restore phone is unable to sync."Other" space and nothing else.

    Before I restored my iPhone 4S I couldn't sync my phone on iTunes. When connected itunes shows the space in my phone was all "other". Nothing new was able to be synced. I have now restored my phone and tried to add the music portion back in. First there was an error about not having enough space even after the restore and it said I had 27GB free. Now there's only a small "other" bit and the rest is 27GB free. Every time I try to sync it or apply a setting it loads it and immediately stops and back to square one.

    I had the same problem. I doubt it is the firewall software on your cpu but rather then one on the router itself. On your linksys control panel, go to applications and on the port list enter 3689 to 3689, enter the ip address for your appletv (you can get it from the apple tv or from the DHCP client list under the status tab on the router). Click enable then update. Or, you can simply disable the firewall on the security tab of the router but I would not recommend this. Even after updating, I had to unplug the apple tv to reboot it and then it worked fine.

  • Can I pick a certain date and time to restore my iphone?

    In trying to update my iphone software with this latest update, our internet connectivity was screwy.  When it went to sync, my iphone went black and everything on the computer screen quit.  I couldn't do a thing with my iphone, it wouldn't even turn on/off so I restored.  When it restored, it did not sync with the 10:30 pm time that I synced before I started the update.  Instead, it synced with the 12:55 am time when the internet gave out.  Which means, that I have nothing on my phone... all is lost.  So I tried another restore which tried to sync it with 1:something am. OR I had the option of choosing June 2011.  Is there anyway possible that I can choose a certain date and time to restore so not all is lost?

    No, you can only restore form backup using the list of dates/times it gives you.

  • I'm looking for an application which i can keep my data and password safe in my iphone

    i'm looking for an application which i can keep my data and password safe in my iphone

    Look in the App Store on your iPhone 5S.
    What 'data' and 'password' are you trying to keep safe?
    Your data is best kept safe by regular backups to iCloud (which are only accessible via your Apple ID & password) or iTunes (which is stored locally on your computer, which has numerous security methods, including the ability to encrypt the iTunes backup).

  • Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

    I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

  • Itunes showing 800mb of used 'other' data, and I cant delete it

    I tried formatting the shuffle (2nd gen) through explorer by right clicking, I tried restore in itunes (latest version, i've also tried reinstalling it as well), I also tried the shuffle reset utility thing, and I tried uninstalling the usb device through device manager and reinstalling, and nothing works.
    when restoring with itunes, it gives me an error 1418. When trying to use the reset utility, it says 'formatting failure. disk write error.' When formatting through windows, I think it gives a similar error. No matter what, there is 800mb that is 'used' and I can only fit like 100 mb on it now. I'm not completely sure if the songs that go in those 100 mb are playable (I never tried, whats the point?) but it seems like it works, music is transferred fine.

    Hey hpfalcon,
    Did you try to reset the iPod with the newly released iPod Reset Utility? If not this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305204 give more information and a download link.

  • HT4527 My old mac book was backed up to a Time Machine drive.  That Macbook is dead.  I have a new Mac Mini.  How do I get the iTunes library (not just the music files but all other data...playlists, ratings, etc) on the new Mac from my Time Machine?

    My old Mac died. I had it backed up to a Time Machine external drive (fortunately).  I have a new Mac. I want to get my entire iTunes library from the Time Machine drive to the new Mac. I want not only the music files but all the "library" metadata, playlists, song rankings, unique genre designations. How do I do this?

    No backup is a huge mistake.
