My iphone will not sync music files

iphone 4 times out during syncing of music files this phone has been recent in its updates of phone updates

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • IPhone will not sync music, movies etc since upgrading to Mavericks...

    Upgrade to Mavericks on Tuesday.  I also upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7 7.0.3.  Since this time iTunes will not sync my music movies or TV shows to my iPhone five. I have tried everything  can't find a solution. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Well...last night, I thought I had it all figured out. I had several successful syncs after I used the method in my post above. Even when making changes to playlists, everything synched successfully every time.
    Tonight, however, it's back to the same crap. Hanging on "Waiting for changes..." and no changes being made. Sometimes iTunes crashes in the process.
    The only thing that seems to complete correctly is the backup, as it logs it correctly under "Latest Backup"...but ****, who knows if THAT'S even working right.
    Really frustrated, Apple. And yes...I've sent detailed iTunes feedback here and via the error box that pops up when iTunes crashes.

  • IPod Shuffle will not sync music - "files not available"

    I originally thought at first I had a defective Shuffle. I returned the Shuffle and exchanged it for a new one and I am having the same problem. I also have already done a restore and software update to the new Shuffle and it did not solve the problem.
    I connect the new Shuffle and iTunes goes thru the device setup just fine. When I go to sync music to the Shuffle, a box pops up stating that the songs could not be found in the library and cannot be transferred to the Shuffle. iTunes also shows all the files as missing when I select a song. Then a Windows pop up box states that the data on the hard drive where my music is stored has been deleted and cannot be restored. Needless to say the first time I read this I was freaking out because when I click on the drive it shows as totally empty. No files what so ever.
    I then rebooted my computer and the drive and all of the files show up and everything is fine. iTunes works and can play files normally. I plug in the Shuffle and the same thing happens again.
    I also have an Apple TV, 3 Nano's, and an iPod Touch that all work and sync just fine.

    One song out of the album? Are you only syncing a single album to the iPod?
    How is your iPod configured to sync? In other words, is it set to sync you entire library? Are you syncing specific playlists? Specific artists or albums? Are you auto-syncing or manually managing your iPod?

  • Iphone will not sync music from iTunes! HELP!

    I bought the iphone 3GS about 6 months ago and after syncing some of my iTunes music to the phone the first time, I haven't been able to sync any other songs to the phone ever since. I selected to manually select which playlists, artists I would like to add to my iphone but in the end, a message pops up saying "The iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)". What do I do? Does the phone need to be restored? Or is there a setting I need to adjust?
    PLEASE HELP!!

    In Itunes.
    Summary options- Sync Checked Songs is checked.
    Music Tab- Sync Music- Selected Playlist is checked.
    Underneath- the various playlists are checked.
    The capacity utilized goes up with increased playlists checked.
    When sync is initiated it determines music tracks but never syncs the music prior to finishing sync.

  • My iPhone 4 will not sync music after the update, please help....

    After updating the new ios my iPhone will not sync any music.  My iPad is syncs fine its just my iPhone 4.

    This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update

    With the last update my iPhone will not sync.

    I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
    Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
    At least my iPhone works now.
    I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers.

  • Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

    I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?
