Music no longer syncs to iPad/iPhone

Hi,
As the title suggests, music will no longer sync to any of my mobile devices (iPad Mini, Summer 2013, current iOS 7; iPhone 4S, Feb 2012, current iOS 7). I've reset the factory settings, and restored a back-up and allowed the content to re-sync. This has successfully put my books, apps, photos etc. back onto the devices, but syncs 0 songs. Only songs purchased from the iTunes Store appear.
That lead me to think the fault was with my iTunes library, and so I removed the most recent additions. However, the same problem persists.
While syncing, it gets stuck on 'Copying files over' or similar, and never completes the sync.
Additionally, since the factory reset has now caused 14.54 GB of 'Other' content to be on my iPad which was not there before and is not in my iTunes library (what even is 'Other'?). As a result, I now can't sync my iPad at all, due to being 'Over Capacity' (32GB).
What should I do? My iTunes has over 2,000 songs, and I would be reluctant to make an entirely new library. Other tricks such as turning off Wi-Fi and iCloud syncing have not been sucessful.
Thanks! :-)
NB: The 'Product' drop-down box doesn't list iPad Minis as an option, so I've put it under iPhone 4S instead.

Spoke to Apple Support over online chat.
Solved through resetting iTunes Library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Quicker and easier than I thought. Can keep playlists if you copy the original Library. :-)

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

  • ITunes no longer syncs with iPad 1 or iPhone 4

    I can not longer sync my iPad 1 or iPhone 4 to my Mac Pro (Lion) Everything was fine yesterday (with Lion); not sure what changed. My iPhone will charge thru the USB cable, but my iPad will not. I have tried restarting iTunes, my Mac Pro and my iPad. Does anyone have any ideas?????? Thanks in advance!

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

    you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere.  Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

  • My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?

    First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

    that is for deleting the scinfo folder. scroll to the bottom of the article and the steps are there

  • Just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5

    I just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5. Any thoughts? It went from accurately displaying my content to showing most of the content as "Other" and now says it can't sync because it can't determine the apps to sync.

    Hi,
    I have sync issue, too, but a bit different. When connecting my iPhone 4 and hitting the sync button in iTunes 11.0.5 (5), the synch process starts, gets stuck at step 5, then eventually finishes without any error message, but content (TV series / movies) are not updated on the iPhone.
    I already tried to power cycle my MacBook (Intel 13" running Mac OS X Lion) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.3).
    Was working perfectly before upgrading iTunes. Anybody has a solution to this yet?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC.  There is no access to sync on the ITunes home page????

    I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC.  There is no access to sync on the ITunes web site?

    I'm sorry, but your statement doesn't make sense or I am totally misunderstanding you. That's is certainly a possibility.
    You sync with iTunes software on your computer, and there is no link on the website where you can go to syc. With iTunes, the application must be installed on your computer. If you have been syncing with iTunes then you know this and there must be some lack of communication between us.
    Launch the iTunes application on your computer and then connect your iPad to your computer with the cable. Your iPad should appear in the devices button in the upper right part of the iTunes window. Click on that in order to select your iPad.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

  • Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

    Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

    Leopard (OS X 10.5) came out in October, 2007.  iOS 7 came out in October, 2013.
    You need an absolute minimum of OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to run iTunes 11 which can sync devices using iOS 7.
    In the U.S., you could purchase Snow Leopard here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    ... then update it to OS X 10.6.8.
    UPDATE -- Sorry!  I don't think you have an Intel processor Mac, and therefore cannot run Snow Leopard.  You need a new computer to sync using iOS 7.

    All of the sudden my Messages app on my Macbook Pro is no longer syncing to my iPhone texts. What do I need to do to reestablish the flow between devices?

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • ICal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync

    My iCal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync. It worked great until about a month ago. I've made over 300 Calendar changes to my iPhone 3gs' Calendar, but not a single item has synced back to my iCal on my iMac, when I sync my iTunes (which I do almost daily). In addition, I've created some items on my iCal, as a test, and none of them sync onto my iPhone 3gs.
    What gives? Ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Well, I was able to manually sync my iPhone to my iCal one time, but haven't been able to get it to sync Calendar info since then. It was moderately successful, so I could export an iCal backup file. However, I ended up with about 200 MORE duplicate items on my iPhone, and what's weird is that many of these duplicates do NOT have any "edit" functionality! So I a, stuck with them being on the day they are at right now. Grrrrrr
