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.

Problems with adding music and videos from a different computer?

I have a 30gig video and it doesnt let me add anything from a computer that my itunes library isnt connected with.
When i try 2 add something it says ill have to switch to this computers media library and it will delete whats on the ipod. I only want to add a few songs and videos and it without deleteing everything

After you set the iPod to manually update, connect it to the second computer. If that message still appears, click "No" on it. Then, select a song in the iTunes library that you want on your iPod and simply click and drag it to your iPod. The top of iTunes will say "updating iPod" if the song was successfully dragged to the iPod.
See this article for more information on updating videos:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
The article is much more detailed than what I could ever hope to go into... and it does address manually updating audio files, and using the iPod on an iTunes library that it is not linked to.
Hope this helps you out

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.

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

I own an iPhone 4s come across a problem with syncing music to my phone.

I own an iPhone 4s and I have recently come across a problem with syncing music to my phone. Whenever I try to sync it, nine or ten songs get synced then the sync cancels. It only syncs the first song on each album but not for all of them, some of the albums don't sync at all. I have been dealing with this problem for a while. I have updated iTunes to the newest update and iOS 7 to the newest update.

Well, the fact is, you have a carrier locked iPhone...locked to Verizon, to be specific. The only way that phone will work is if it is first activated on Verizon's network. Once you do that, you can then request that Verizon unlock the sim slot. However, once Verizon unlocks the sim slot, I doubt you'll be able to get the phone to work with any GSM carrier in the US. The unlocking of the sim slot is done for International travel outside of the US.
If you want to use Straight Talk, your best bet is to sell this phone & use the proceeds to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone 4S directly from Apple.
Good luck.

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!

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.

On your BlackBerry10 device:
Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
Now, try again.
Likewise, ask a BBM contact of yours to tell you if your BBM contact has the green icon for BBM voice/video.

What is wrong with the music and videos?

All the music and every video on the music and video programs are not playing. The sound from every app, and the selection sounds are working but not anything from itunes. I t isn't only the volume or audio because when I press play the time does not start on the music, and the videos do not load. What would have caused this? Would this be something from the i tunes program, or a virus on my i pod?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Problem when syncing pics and video

I am having a problem when I sync pics or video. It is set up to only download the new pics on my device but it downloads ALL pics every time. This is very annoying. I think it started when I updated to 6.0. Is there not a way to sync them without getting every pic every time? I open my blackberry picture folder in my pc and there are triplets of all my photos. Please help.

Problems with syncing audio to video using merge tool

I ran into a new problem that I have not had.
The project was shot on 35mm and transfered to 1080p 23.97 10bit uncompressed. I took the file in to FCP and through media manager maid a copy of it to ProRes 422 HQ 1080p.
The Problem is when I broke the clips up for each scene and take (like I usually do) and set my IN on the clapper and my IN on the audio file for that take at the sound of the clap and go to merge clips on IN points. The clip merges but not at the points I told it to. The audio gets shifted down or up by a good few seconds.
Why is this happening?
When I take the footage with the same IN mark and put it on the time line and the Audio with he same IN mark and put it on the time line it matches up. But not when I merge clips. I cant think what Im doing wrong if anything since this is the first time I have had this issue.
Thanks to all!

I don't think FCE has a multi-cam function like FCP does ... so here's another way to do it (if it does have a multi-cam function, disregard this).
• Place the clip you'll likely to use most on track V1 (along with the audio on A1, A2).
• Place the other clip on V2 (audio on A3, A4).
• Double click one of the clips to load it into the Viewer window.
• Play the clip until you find a good sync point (either visually or audibly).
• Place a marker at that point.
• Double-click the other clip to load it into the Viewer and find the same point on that clip.
• Place a marker at that point.
• In the Timeline, line up the two clip markers - it will help to zoom in to make sure they're perfectly lined up.
• Once you have the two clips in sync, double-click the upper clip to load it back into the Viewer.
• Click on the Motion tab and use the Scale and Center controls to get a picture-in-picture effect.
• Back in the Timeline, unlink the audio and video from both clips.
• You can delete the audio clip that you don't want to use.
• In the Timeline, as you're going through the footage, cut out the parts of the clip on V2 that you don't want using the Blade tool.
• When you're done, select all clips remaining on V2, right-click on one and select "Remove Attributes" then choose Basic Motion (all clips will go back to full size and centered).
• If you want to consolidate all of V2's clips with the clip on V1, select all of V2's clips, then holding down the Shift key, drag the clips down to V1.
• At this point, you can use the Roll tool to tweak your edit points if needed.
• Add transitions as desired.
This will only work if both clips are continuous (camera did NOT start and stop during the take).
