My itunes music isn't syncing to my iphone?
Help!
Of all the times that I have synced my itunes with my iphone... THIS TIME it's done something crazy. Everytime I hit sync "entire music library" it shows a significan amount of space being taken up on my phone but once I hit "sync" within 5 seconds it says it's "completed" and I only have about 10% of my actual music library there?!
Has anybody else experienced the same problem? Any way to help me fix it?
~Sincerely confuzzled, Jenna
I did look and all the songs are checked. I even went as far as thinking my phone might not have the space for all the playlists and chose random ones to not include on syncing, so I went into settings while my phone was plugged into my mac and used the sync only checked playlists and that did nothing either. But I've just tried adding the songs back into their playlists and it worked. The songs are all still in my library just not in the playlists I guess. Thanks for your help!

The changes I make to my music isn't syncing onto my iPhone 4s. How do I fix this?
When I first add something to my iPhone, it syncs fine. When I attempt to add album art, change the artist's, add lyrics and stuff, none of my new changes sync into my iPhone. Everything else works fine. Apps download properly and sync thing. iBooks doesn't have a problem either. It's just my music. I haven't attempted to add videos yet though. I've tried both manually and automatic syncing from my iTunes library and neither work. I use Windows 7 and iTunes 10. Please help!
Then you should try recreating your iTunes library
Close itunes
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" and "iTunes Library.itl" files to the Desktop.
6. Open iTunes. - it should be empty
7. Go back to your My music\iTunes folder, and you should see a iTunes media folder you will want to re-add that back in to iTunes.
8. Then Try resyncing -
I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.
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 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.

My iTunes content (music) will not sync to my iPhone 4. It shows as syncing on my computer (windows) but does not show up on the phone.
Hey there @Robalina Welcome to the community!
I have a guide that I will post below for you, that should help you connect your printer and Zeen to your wireless network. Follow the steps and you should be wireless in no time!
If your printer and Zeen are connected to your network, the issue could be the web browser you are using to connect to the sites you wish to visit. You can also try using a different web browser.

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?
How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates. -
I am trying to update my iTunes so I can sync my new iphone 5s and it doesn't recognize the phone, apple support said I need to update my iTunes when I try and do that I get an error message that says " the ITunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try back later.
My internet works fine and I have tried back dozens of times with same result.Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks! -
I can load a CD on to my PC - iTunes but when I sync with my iPhone 5s the CD does not load onto my iPhone 5S.
Help!You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually. -

Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8. I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated. Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!
I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :) -

After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi
After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi
I have had the same issue on 2 computers with 2 different installations. This appears to be an issue with the update. Everything was syncing great until the update. I know this because I had just synced the iphone numerous times and then I did the update. As soon as the update was complete, the phone would no longer sync over WiFi. The symptoms are exactly as you describe them.

IPhone/iTunes music won't sync
I can't get my music to sync to my iPhone. I have iPhone 5 and iTunes version 11 (Everything is updated). I had to delete my music last week to upgrade to iOS 7 because there wasn't enough room on my phone. And now I can't get it to sync back onto the phone. I've tried everything I found in the apple support discussions to no avail. I can't even manage my music manually. It just will not sync to the phone whether it's manual or over wi-fi.
It sounds like you're having the same problems as me.
I've spoke to Apple about it and nothing worked when i spoke to customer service. I was then passed on to the line manager who couldn't help either. I was then told that the problem would be passed on to the engineers to see if they could see what the problem was.
I've not heard a thing from Apple since. -
My music will not sync to my iPhone from iTunes. Why does it say I need more space?
My iPhone and iTunes are all synced up to date as of June 7th. I went to sync my music library. I checked to only sync my selected songs (approximately 1200). It worked fine earlier this week before I updated iTunes. I went to add another 10-20 songs today, and it didn't work. It said I need an additional 4.77 GB of data. I have 2 GB available still on my 16 GB phone, which is more than enough for the 10-20 songs. I updated iTunes after this occurred but I still have the same problem. When I check my music on my phone, no playlists show up but y music and artists are the same as before, minus the new music i added to my iTunes. On a side note, the extra space it's saying I need is about the size of the current music on my phone; it seems to be asking to sync it twice?
Hey there 2Chainz,
It sounds like youre being prompted that there is not enough space. I would use the following article to help resolve the issue named:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling
