My itunes will not do a full sync

My itunes will not do a full sync. it recognizes my phones is plugged in but when it goes to sync (new music for example) i hit sync and it starts but it only does step 1 of 1 then its done. no pics have been tranfered no music nothing. can anyone help me out?

What format is my music converted to when I import from CD?
that depends on what you have set in your itunes importing preferences tab. for some more info on that, see:
iTunes 6: How to Choose Import Options
for a little more info about the different file formats see:

  • Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

    Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library.  Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT1459 iTunes will not recognize iPod for syncing, downloading versions, etc?

    I am attempting to connect/sync/download latest version of iTunes to my brand new iPod Touch, 4th generation.  Nothing happens.  It says I need to have 10.6.3 version or higher, but when I attempt to download to the iPod, it only downloads to my computer.  I am connected via the USB cable, not via WiFi.

    Well, it looks like the iPod will need to come back to factory settings none the less. Try doing this:
    First, show "Hidden Files and Folders" (Open my computer, click on "Tools" then Folder options, click on the view tab, put the dot next to show hidden files and folders and apply, ok)
    Then, Terminate ipodservice.exe and ituneshelper.exe (This is assuming iTunes launches)
    Connect the ipod, wait for it to show in My Computer.
    Double click on it and you will find an ipod control folder in here - Drag and drop this to the recycle bin, close and open iTunes....Let's see if the ipod will be recognized allowing you to restore it.

  • Itunes will not import the full song

    my computer crashed a few months ago and ever since then i cant import CDS onto iTunes...the full song. It will download the first 10-14 seconds then quit and move on to the next song.
    I got really annoyed with that so i thought that i could import them from Windows Media, but then it said i didnt have some license or something.
    Anyone have a solution?

  • Itunes will not allow music to sync since latest upgrade

    Trying to sync music to two different ipods and ipad. since downloading the latest itunes version, no music will sync to either device.  I have checked selected songs (different for each device) and it will recognize 1755 songs but on the capacity bar, no audio is showing and when syncing, no music is transferred. I have tried restoring each device, all have latest upgrades....don't understand why it won't sync properly.  any ideas out there?

    this is a bug that came with the latest update. haven't seen any way of getting round it i'm afraid: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • Itunes will not upgrade, won't sync with ipod

    One day everything was fine, the next day, when I tried to synch my 80G ipod classic, error msg said I needed version 7.6 or newer. I tried to download version 7.7, it says I need to check with system administrator. (that would be me). What gives? It used to be fine. I can still add music to my library, but cannot synch them to ipod. Also, for awhile I couldn't open itunes until I removed quicktime then downloaded version 7.7 of itunes (with quicktime). Now I can open itunes, but still no upgrade or synch. Any ideas. I think apple screwed up big time

    I tried uninstalling itunes. It won't allow it. Says older version is preventing it.
    What's the precise text of your error messages please? In particular are any of them mentioning an iTunes.msi file?

  • ITunes will not open full screen mode in Mavericks

    Hello,
    Ever since a recent upgrade to Mavericks, iTunes will not open in full screen. When I click the full screen expander in the controls or in View>Enter Full Screen iTunes flashes the library and then back to the movie playing and makes the "funk" sound.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, open System Preferences > General, and make sure that "Close windows when quitting an application" is marked. Then, open iTunes and press the Esc key to get out of full-screen, and close iTunes. The next time it starts, it should be in a classic window

  • TS1717 iTunes will not auto-launch like it used to on Win7. Also cannot start in SAFE mode

    I've had this computer & this installation of iTunes for a very long time. It has always worked perfectly, and will auto-start every time I connect the iPhone. (my iPhone would light up and display the "Sync in Progress" message on its screen)
    The last few times I've connected it (same phone, same cord, same USB port, same comp., same install of Win7, no Library changes, no new components, no AntiVirus changes - nothing different) iTunes will NOT launch, and the Sync wil not take place.
    But...
    If -- after connecting the iPhone -- I manually launch iTunes, it proceeds normally thru the various steps except that the iPhone does NOT display any messages on its screen.  I've tried several times, and re-booted the comp several times.  I've also followed the Apple T/S steps and deleted the two config files & re-booted.  No difference.
    Yes - the preferences are set to allow the Sync when I plug in the iPhone.
    Yes - I am the only user.
    Yes - I am using a working cable...into a working USB port.
    No - I have no third party add-ons or extensions.
    One odd thing:
    On the many, many previous occasions that I've opened the list of Running Applications...iTunesHelper.exe has been opne of the various apps running on the computer.  Lately that app has vanished from the list, and...
    No - I have not un-checked it in the STARTUP list.

    Well...I was partially-blind.
    I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear.  oops.
    I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone.  iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
    Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

  • Tried downloading itunes version 11.4 and received an error code 2324. Now itunes will not work at all and I cannot sync my phone, ipad or ipod. How should I proceed?

    I have tried several times to load version 11.4 and keep getting an error code2324, now I cannot sync any of my apple products. I set my machine to a previous recover date,  now iTunes will not work at all. I get a message stating I do not have the administrator rights to download. Any thoughts on this issue?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

  • New iTunes will not allow me to manually sync music to Iphone 4s

    I had to change my computer's hard disk which is a mac, I updated itunes as I had done before with my other hard disk, but now my itunes will not allow me to manage anything in my iphone 4s. I cannot manually sync music to my iphone as I used to, not even the option "ADD TO" appears when you click on the "On this phone" tab. I was wondering what I have to do for my itunes to recognize that it is my phone.

    It gets stuck at preparing to update every time I try.

  • ITunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password??

    iTunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password?? I've never set a password for my old iPhone 3gs but tried my old Apple ID sign-in passwords to no avail. I've simply sat here so frustrated....my husband sync'd his new iPhone 4 no problem, somehow the checkbox shows Encrypted password and I'm at a loss on how to change this/find the password and transfer my old backup onto my new phone so I can use it. Can anyone help? Tnx

    John,
    buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!
    - Austin
