Problem with sync - itunes 11.1.3.8
I have itunes 11.1.3.8 (on win xp) and iphone 4 with ios 7.0.4
and when i connect my phone to itunes it gives an error message and won't sync.(Error syncing)
please help
Thanks,
Sarit.
This is a pretty common problem that Apple refuses to admit they have. This is how I finally got my 4s up and syncing.
After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs) might help) could someone please help?
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
Problems with syncing iTunes - Partly - losing new information
My iPhone 3GS just worked fine for a long time but since a few weeks I got this annoying problem:
Syncing with iTunes works superficially fine but after looking deeper into some programms (means using them) on the iPhone I've discovered some strange things.
Two examples:
1. After syncing with iTunes, all my Podcasts loaded with the iPhone are not any longer on the iPhone. They just vanished and I've got to download them again.
2. Some programms lose the changes I made into them (for example some highscore in games or destinations in my navigation app) after the sync. It seems that iTunes is backup them with older files/data. But why? On many other programms everything works just fine as usual.
I'm very thankful for every idea to solve this problem because this is very annoying. Thank you!Hey Mrs. Dorf,
It sounds like you have two separate questions, to address the first:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer
To address your second question, the issue of your device not displaying in iTunes:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Thanks,

Problem with sync (Itunes not responding)
Before 10 days, i upgraded my Ipod touch 2g 32gb to ver 3.0.After purchase the new version on Itunes I had many problems before upgrading (6 times i download new os) and after download when i started installation process - i got error massages - and after that I restored my Ipod.
*Now it's working - but when i am starting to move the music folders from iTunes to Ipod - after 5-10 songs Itunes starting to be not responding.*
+P.S. I upgrated Itunes to new 9.0 version and Ipod to 3.11 - i have 3 computers at home - and i have the same problem, please help me.+Hi Caroline,
Unfortunately I don't have the VI that didn't work saved anymore. I noticed that it was the function Current VI's Menubar that was the problem. By replacing it with the same function again the VI started working. I had that function in the VI a long time before it stopped working properly. I must have changed something else in the VI that affected that function. Maybe I changed the run-time menu, or opened a new run-time menu for that VI. I don't remember exactly.
Best regards

I have problem with sync itunes for iphone 4s run on ios7
my problem is displayed in pictures. I can't sync any songs, apps, books ...
Apple has not updated the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud. Until they do you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.
I've gone back to saving this as a text clipping on my desktop to drag & drop into replies several times a day. -
Problems with sync itunes to iphone
Hi,
I've been working on this for the last 3 hours: the goal is to copy my existing music library from my itunes to my new 4G iphone-32gb.
I also got a new laptop & have been trying to copy my music library from my old desktop to my new laptop since they are not networked, I copied my files using an external drive. I was able to do it! I can see all my songs in my laptop.
Now the problem is trying to sync my music (17gb of songs/files) to my iphone. I am only able to upload 59 songs. When I try to do it 'manually', it only duplicates the same songs. I am not able to drag & copy the all the songs to the iphone folder. Some playlist made it to the iphone, some did not, and the music library folder containing all the songs did not make the cut. It's driving me crazy!
Can someone please help me?? Thanks a bunch if you can.I have been having a similar problem. I recently transferred all my data from old to new laptop and am trying to sync my various devices. My ipod nano was no problem, although it essentially deleted everything and then restored the new settings from my new laptop. however, when attemping to sync up my iPhone 4 I have been experiencing a lot of technical difficulty. My old iphone (which my son uses as an ipod touch) will not allow me to sync apps anymore. When managing the sync options I cannot even click the box to allow for sync apps. My new iphone 4 froze several times during initial sync to the new computer forcing itunes to close. Then when it finally does sync it takes about 30 minutes and a microsoft exchange server box keeps popping up stating that my account is not on file. Please help!

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing. -
I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?
So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu). -

I recently ran into a problem with syncing my ipod touch to itunes on my Windows 7 pc. It had previously been synced to my older laptop
and I wanted to change to my newer Windows 7 laptop's itunes library that I had already been syncing with.
Anyway, I started seeing this message that prevents my from syncing:
The iPod "Bill's iPod" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library
(additional 2.48 GB required)
Not sure if it is talking about my iPod free space or my PC itunes library free space. Either way I have 11.0 GB free space available
on my iPod and 412 GB free space available on my Windows 7 PC.
How do I handle this problem? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ThanksIt is saying that the iPod does not have enough free storage to sync all the items yu have selected to sync to the iPod. You need 2.48 GB more free on the iPod. You need either to select less to sync or delete some content form the iPod.

Problems with syncing Ipad with ITunes: apps won't appear on Ipad and organizing icons won't save
I have a new Ipad 4 for three weeks. Yesterday I start having some problems with syncing my Ipad with ITunes (earlier all was without troubles):
- downloaded in ITunes on PC apps won't transfer to my Ipad - I press Apply and sync, it goes successfully, but apps won't appear on Ipad.
- I tried organizing icons on Ipad from PC, press Apply and sync, it all goes succesfully, but on Ipad icons won't rearrange. But ITunes shows that they are rearranged...
- also I tried syncing my books adding one new book, press sync all books, and new book won't appear. Only when I've chosen every book separately, they transfered.
I use USB for this.
I tried resetting my Ipad, reinstalling ITunes on PC, deauthorizing and authorizing my computer, but it didn't help.
Apple ID are the same on PC and Ipad.
I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. And also forgive my mistakes if there are any - English is not my native language. Thank you!I know that it is time consuming and a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do it, but I would backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup, and sync everything back to the device. It's going to take a while because you have a ton of music on the iPad, but IMO, that would be your best option now.
You could try unsyncing all of the music, and then resync it all again, but that takes time as well. If you are going to spend that much time trying to fix it, you may as well restore the device ...IMO once again.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
I have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7
i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7
first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply' -
