How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

Issues syncing music and videos with itunes

issues syncing music and videos with itunes

Before anyone would be able to provide any troubleshooting steps, you would need to describe what "issues" means. Try describing your problem in detail, as well as what troubleshooting you have already tried before posting your question here. That way no one is wasting your time by asking you to perform steps that you have already taken.

My ipod update wiped my music and videos over £330 worth, My ipod update wiped my music and videos over £330 worth

I gave into pressure from apple and updated my ipod touch, the sync failed and an error message then my ipod was wiped of over £300 worth of content! Why???? whats the point? whats the point of taking my music, videos and apps. is there any way i can retrieve my music at least?

Apps can be re-downloaded for free, and as you give the price in £'s I assume that you are here in the UK, in which case you should also be able to re-download your music as well - TV shows can also be re-downloaded here. Films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all films).

Did you not copy your purchases off the iPod before starting the update via File > Transfer Purchases and/or already have a backup of your content ?

Cannot sync music and videos to an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.0 b1 on iTunes 11.2.2

Hey everyone.
Yesterday, I decided to take the leap to iOS 8.0 beta 1 on my iPhone 5. So far, things have been working ok (with the expected bugs here and there), except for this one thing above.
After I got it all installed on my iPhone, I then proceeded to restore from my most recent backup that I made prior to the install of this first beta of iOS 8.0. All that other stuff (my contacts, apps, and ringtones) came back just fine. For some reason, when it got to the part with syncing my music and videos, it was able to initally get them copied over, but then iTunes would get stuck on either "waiting for items to copy" or "waiting for changes to be applied". I remember this same thing happening last year when I updated to iTunes 11 as well.
Is there any workaround I can do to get this to work, or am I going to have to wait for the next update of iTunes to come out? What I'm guessing is that I won't be able to sync these things right now as the current version of iTunes only has full support for up to the most recent public release of iOS, 7.1.1. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Also, I have one other little error to ask about. After clicking on check for updates from the menubar, for some reason after checking for updates to iTunes it will show this message: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occurred (-50)." My iPhone isn't even connected to my Mac right now in any form, whether it would be by a lightning cable or wifi.

Same issue that everyone else is having with me, and I'm also upset with Apple. Hardware is superlative, but software keeps going downhill. I'm running OSX 10.9 anditunes 11.4. I've tried every sync fix that may have worked for others, but nothing works for me. iTunes was great in the beginning, but the programmers seem dedicated to cutting its knees off with redesign that is inane instead of intuitive,, dropped feaqures, etc. I even hear the itunes 12 drops the sidebar!! I am getting the clear impression that the itunes group is a dumping ground for the rest of Apple. Fix this sync problem now. At a minum just re-use the code that worked before. N.

Syncing Music and Videos

Since buying the iPad I have been unable to sync music or video. iTunes locks up everytime I try. Gives error message code (-20). Have had tech help from Apple and my Anti virus/Firewall software provider. Added two gigs of RAM. Still having the problem.

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

Why won't iPhone 5 sync music and videos?

I bought a new iPhone 5 and can't get it to sync my music and videos.
My iMac is running the latest OS, the iPhone is running the latest iOS and I'm using the latest iTunes 11.0.1.
It syncs all the apps, books, and other files okay. When I select, or deselect, a movie or playlist that I want synced the Summary page shows the Audio Video Apps and Other colour-coded space allocation bar correctly but when I run the sync no music nor videos are copied, the sync only takes a couple of seconds, and the Audio and Video parts of the space allocation bar disappear.
Variously I've tried checking and unchecking 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and 'Manually manage music and videos'. I've tried restarting both devices of course. I've signed out of iTunes and signed back in just in case it was an authorisation issue. I've tried creating a backup of the iPhone on iTunes in case this was needed to make a connection between both but nothing will work for me.
The music in question is NOT DRM. They are all files I've ripped myself from CDs and DVDs over the years. They sync correctly on my iPad - also running the same latest version of iOS - so I can't see how it would be a problem with the files themselves.
I've tried googling this but it just throws up so many hits that I can't find anyone having the exact same issue.
Any suggestions gratefully received before I tear my hair out.
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue... The first time I plugged in my iphone it came up as a new iphone and asked me what I wanted to sync, and then I tried to put a bunch of my music on there. It acted like it was syncing, but only put a bunch of empty unplayable reference files on my iphone, nothing I can play. I deleted all of those, and tried to sync my music again, along with some videos. No luck. The files appear as if it recognizes the amount of space my music will take up on the iphone, but when I hit sync it disappears as if it synced in about 1 second, and nothing new is on my phone.
I'm on a PC, quad core, Intel i-7 2.2 Ghz, 8 Gigs of RAM, Windows 7. I don't see any reason that this would be happening based on my system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

IPad 3 not syncing music or videos from iTunes. Can any one help?

Hi everyone! First time in submitting a question for me. Driven to doing it by my iPad 3 not syncing music with iTunes. In fact it almost seems to be automatically deleting music from my iPad for some reason. Had a look down similar questions and issues but not real solutions appear to be coming up. Was working fine about 3 or so weeks ago then simply started developing this issue. Backs up ok but then says it is waiting for the changes to be applied then a few seconds or so later it says it is complete when it isn't.
Hope Apple are looking into rectifying this?
All help gratefully received, thank you!!

Hi Graham2307 and everyone else. I too have a similar problem, and similarly this is my first post also. Apart from your question I found I couldn't find any similar questions or solutions.
I have quite a few different Apple products all of which have no problem with syncing, backing up and transfering purchases when I connect to itunes on my computer...... apart from my iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.4). Apart from tonight the last time I connected my iPad 2 to my computer, about 3 weeks ago, there was no problem syncing.
Then when I have tried tonight to do the same the iPad backs up, then says that it is waiting for sync to start, preparing to sync, waiting for changes to be applied, but all of this takes less than 2 seconds and when i check the pad it hasn't synced my updated apps from my computer to the iPad. I have kept re-syncing my iPad and sometimes the number of apps that need updating might reduce by a maximum of 2, but most times it doesn't reduce. I am now stuck with 44 apps that are showing up on my iPad as needing to be updated. There is no logical process or pattern to why it doesn't update and/or rarely updates 2.
I could update my apps from the App Store on my iPad, but i don't see why I should download them again when they are all up to date on my computer, when a simple sync to the computer and a couple of minutes wait and 'bob's your uncle' and 'fanny's your aunt' I can go on with using my iPad in blissful ignorance once more.
I'm sorry I haven't answered your question Graham2307, but merely added to the burden that yours is carrying.
I too hope Apple are looking into this as it has become a real pain keep pressing sync and hoping something might happen.
Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks!

Syncing music and videos AND Ringtones

Because my phone is synced to a large iTune library, I choose to 'manually manage my music and videos'. However the ringtones I created in garageband that reside in the ringtone section wipe all my music and videos when they are synced and turn off manual music management. When I re-sync my music it removes my ringtones.
How does everyone else manage to get around this issue.
Many thanks

Worked this out on my own sigh. So basically you cann't have manual music management on and have rintones syncing. the way to get around it is to have sync all music on and then only select a single playlist. This way it will sync music to your phone and allow yo to sync ringtones etc.

Problem with Syncing Music and Video

I have 2 Iphones. When I try to sync them, I get the following error message "The Iphone "..." cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found." If I hit sync again, it says either the same thing or sometimes it says "Iphone is not connected".
After about 16 hours of trying to get music/video on the Iphone, I now have about 23 songs.
I am just trying to put 1 movie from Itunes on the Ipod and it won't sync it. It also will not sync all of my purchased music.
Everything syncs fine on my Ipod. I tried setting up a different library for the Iphone and that didn't work either. Same result.

Welcome to the forums.
As Allan noted, it's important to be using USB 2.0 and it's possible your machine at home doesn't have this. Check it out via the manual or support site to make sure your home machine meets the specifications.
Assuming for a moment it does, then what you can try is to turn off automatic sync (without the iPhone attached, go to the iPhone tab in iTunes and tell it not to look for an iPhone when attached). Then attach the phone and turn off all syncing except for your music. Make sure you sync via a playlist, and select a playlist that has a few hundred songs (or create one). See if that will transfer properly. If so, it may be the syncing of other items that is causing this problem.

IPod Touch not syncing music

Why oh why do things that worked previously not work now? This happens so much with Apple products!!!
I have tried now several times to sync my plugged-in iPod Touch with my iTunes selected songs and playlists.
I have checked the boxes about manually managing music. I have chosen for the iPod to sync with a playlist in my iTunes library, and even tried just dragging the songs over.....They still do not show up on the iPod.
I did a manual reset, holding down the On/Off button and home button on the iPod, and it still isn't syncing correctly.

I had a similar problem yesterday. Even after "restoring" it still would not sync the music but did sync the videos!! In another thread I found some help from "John Guo" who suggested
"Try putting the iPod into recovery mode. To do that, turn off the iPod. Then it on and hold the Home button until it asks you to connect to iTunes. Plug the iPod into your computer and restore it. Hope this works."
I did that & all works fine now. One other thing I did was set NO automatic syncing in itunes prefs. I when it asked after the restore I did NOT restore settings from backup bu designated it a new ipod.
Good luck,
Harris

IPod does not sync music. Please help before I die. LOL

ok so i plug in my usb to my iPod after i dragged the music into itunes from folders and what not and you know usually when the music syncs it will till u the title of the songs and stuff at the top while its syncing right? well i add a lot of new songs and it just says that its syncing but doesnt show the process of it being synced...then when it says done i go back in my ipod and the new music isnt there...i've reset the pod a bunch of times..restarted my computer..reinstalled iTunes..i dont know what else to do..if u can help me it would b greatly appreciated..thank you!!

*i've reset the pod a bunch of times*
Have you tried "restoring" your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

IPod 5 not syncing music

I've tried to sync music so many different ways, I've tried how you usually would do it through the music tab but it starts and stops right away. Then I tried to click and drop the songs but it won't let me. I originally got some songs onto it by using auto fill And it put music on the iPod but now that I've downloaded more music and was hoping to add it to my iPod, none of those are working, when I try to auto fill it now with music it says preparing to update files and then after two minutes it stops again. Help pls??

Assuming the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer:
- 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.

IPod Shuffle not syncing music

iTunes says that the iPod Shuffle is synced. I have selected a song to put on the iPod but I can not find the command to 'sync.' I have tried selecting a song and dragging it to the iPod but when I disconnect the iPod Shuffle and pulg in the earphones, I get a message to use iTune to sync. What is the command or procedure to sync the music to the iPod so it will play?

You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing. This document describles those methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window. However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill). If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.
FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual, from this support web page for the shuffle
