My iPhone will not sync music!

When I try to sync music from my iTunes library,I get the error message: "could not transfer music, the disk can not be written to or read from"
I'm totally up to date software wise, and a far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with my music.
please help!!

Can you go to Music tab on the right and see if SYNC MUSIC box is checked?

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.

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 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.

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!!!

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.

Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

My Iphone will not sync with my itunes after I had to change my user and pass on my pc. How can I fix this problem?

I had to reset my username and password on my computer because I must have hit a wrong key when changing password. Anyway I made a new admin user on my pc and now my iphone will not sync all the way with my itunes. I flashes a message on the screen saying "you do not have the proper privileges" and stops the sync. All of my contacts are gone and all of my google calander is wiped clean. I just want my Iphone to sync now so that I can add contacts again. What can I do? Thank you for your time.

bogdan0,
Tried that but did not work. Thank you for the reply. However, I did find the correct thing to do though so wanted to share.
Since on my computer I had to create a new admin account, I had to go into the shortcut properties of Itunes. Then hit Compatibility Tab. Had to check Run as Admin.
After hitting Change settings for all users it worked just fine.

HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up

iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

My iPhone will not sync music!
