Sync Issues: IPhone 4 (OS 4.3.1) w/ ITunes 10.2.1.1

Unable to sync music, videos, books & apps after upgrading I-Tunes to 10.2.1.1 and I-Phone 4 to OS 4.3.1. Thought I had the books syncing ok but it appears I was wrong.I-Tunes also frequently hangs during sync. No problems prior to this.
I-Tunes works fine on its own - can play music / videos. I-Phone works OK and can download material to I-Phone with no issues. But ...
I-Tunes appears to indicate music / videos are on the I-Phone but the IPod app consistently shows no content. As a test I downloaded a song from the I-Tunes Store direct to the Phone. When I synced, I-Tunes moved it from the phone to the Music Library on my laptop, though it continues to indicate the song is on the I-Phone. Problem is consistent across both USB ports and with different sync cables.

Hello I have the same problem my phone is regognized by windows but Itunes does not.. Tried different computer and the phone is ok somthing wrong whit my settings on my main computer,
Only thing I can recall that might cused this is the internet sharing opption after I turned it on while cabel was hooked upp to my computer and my iphone it istalled new drivers for my phone on my computer, this is the only thing I might think of that has changed..

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

This year, the government has canceled the daylight saving time , that's why happening this problem to me so I changed the time zone in iPhone from Cairo,Egypt (GMT+2 with daylight saving) to Harare,Zimbabwe (GMT+2 without daylight saving , no change in time from summer & winter) & now working good, no change in time after sync. , But it's very stupid thing from apple that they didn't add an option in time setting to enable or disable the daylight saving time like any other mobile.

IOS 7.1, iTunes 11.1 Syncing Issues (iPhone 4S, Macbook 2009)

Hi,
Ever since I updated my iPhone to iOS 7, I have not been able to sync it with my Macbook. It never appears under the "Devices" tab in iTunes. My dad synced his iPhone 3GS to my computer for as long as he had that phone, without a hitch, but when he upgraded to an iPhone 5S, it would not sync properly either. This leads me to believe it is a bug within iTunes on the computer. Also, when I connect my iPhone, it incessantly pops up the message, "Do you trust this computer?", to which I always choose "Trust". I have used my iPhone as a personal hotspot via USB cable before, but it never had any issues with syncing until updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1.
Any thoughts on possible solutions? Let me know if you need any more information.

Okay, I think I have the problem fixed now. I did some further searching and came upon the following article:
http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-related-mac-pc-applications/269550-stopping-not -enough-free-space-sync-messages.html
It in turn has a link to the following Apple support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Basically it appears that the iTunes Library.itl database got corrupted. By following the steps on the support page I was able to get it to rebuild the database and successfully sync my music and podcasts with my iPhone. Hopefully this will help anyone else who has a similar problem.
Later,
Scott

Sync issues iphone 3g

when i try to sync my iphone (first time on new pc, first time in ages), all of the menus seem to be greyed out. Thought if i upgraded to ios 4.2, that might sort it out, but that just says it cant connect to the server. I just want to take some music off, as my memory seems to be full. This is driving me potty
Help!

i wish there was a solution. i'm a computer tech and i have 2 clients with windows 7 and outlook 2010 with this problem. i've contacted both apple and microsoft and both blame the other for the problem. i haven't been able to find any answers on the forums either.

I am trying to sync my iphone and it has frozen with the itunes symbol on my phone?

I am trying to sync my iphone and it looks like it has crashed and the itunes symbol is frozen on my screen, I have tried to switch off my phone but it will not work, anyone help?

Your getting that error because one or more of the files you are trying to sync cannot be found. You need to make sure your iTunes library is in fact accessible. This error is common with folks that store their library or parts of their library on an external drive,

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

TS4062 I have the latest iTunes update and can't sync my iPhone 5 with Windows 8.1. iTunes not showing my device is connected.

I recently updated from Windows 8 to 8.1. Now I can't sync my iPhone 5. I have the latest version of iTunes and my phone is updated as well. It worked fine with Windows 8. Now iTunes doesn't show my phone when it's connected. My computer does recognize that my phone is connected. Is there a fix for Windows 8.1?

these are common problems with windows 8.1 and you can point the fault at MS not iTunes

I can't sync my iphone 4s with my music downloaded to itunes

can't sync my iphone 4s with music i have downloaded to i tunes.

Check the following:
You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have checks next to all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There aren't any exclaimation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone (which indicates that iTunes can't locate them on your computer)
Your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase music that your want to sync to your phone (under Store>Authorize this Computer)
You have selected to Sync Music on the Music tab of your itunes sync settings.

Syncing an iPhone 4 with a "fresh installation" of iTunes in a new computer

Hi from Madrid!
I hope my English is ok and I wish you could help me because I have a little problem. My laptop has broken and died three days ago, I had the "****" graphic chip nvidia 8600M GT, and finally it burned. It was suddenly from a day to another, I have bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I haven't dared to sync with the iTunes installed in this new laptop, because I'm afraid of losing all my information and data in my iPhone 4, when syncing with the new installed iTunes for first time. In conclusion, what I'd like to know is what I have to do not to lose all my data in the phone when syncing for the first time, to pass all the data in my phone to the computer and not vice versa or combine it with the computer, because it's very important to keep it.
PD: I think I may be able to get my old iTunes library because I rescued the hard disk, but I'd prefer to know if there is something easier because what I only want is to keep my data in the iPhone: messages, saved games, etc.
Thank you very much for your help.

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, your phone, sees your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.
But, if at all possible, move your entire iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer FIRST. Also move any data you consider important: contacts, documents, calendars, etc.

HT1766 how do you sync my iPhone 4 music content to my friends iTunes library without loosing my music from my iPhone.

how do sync my iphone music content with another itunes library on a macbook pro without loosing my music from my iphone

You don't.
Iphones will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
It is not legal for your friend to give you his music or for you to give your friend your music.
