Sync music on Iphone 4

Hi,
I was bored of my music and took it all off the phone. It worked; there wasn't anything left on my phone.
Then I updated to the IOS7.
For some reason all music is back on. I deleted all music I don't want to have on my phone in the library. Just left the ones I want and synced several times. Still all music is on my phone incl. the ones I don't want. I checked other discussion and tried their recommendations, but nothing seems to work and that's frustrating me more and more.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Me too.. having a same freaking problem after update my iTunes and update my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3,
Please if anyone have any solutions for this problem.. Thanks!!

Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
plenty of available space on brand new phone
IOS 7.0.4
itunes 11.1.3.8

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.

ITunes 11.1 wont sync music to iPhone 4s

I'm having a problem with getting iTunes to sync music onto my iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1. Tried restarting both devices and it didn't help. Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,

Hey everyone, I have also been having this problem and have finally found a solution that is not quite what anyone else has posted yet.
I actually haven't seen the "Syncing Music to iphone" since the new ios update so im quite happy..
Here are the steps that I took to solve:
1. Turned off auto lock and password on iphone
2. After connecting iphone on the summary page the only three boxes I have checked are Automatically sync when iphone is connected, sync only checked songs and videos, manually manage music and videos
3. Now, click the On this iPhone tab. In the bottom right there are "setting" and "Autofill". Under "Settings" select replace all items when Autofilling. I also arbitrarily selected "reserve 1.12GB for disk use".
5. Then I clicked "Autofill" and selected Replace Songs.
6. Lastly I pressed "Sync" while I was still on the "On This iPhone" page.
7. I was actually about to leave the computer and then I saw something magical..."Syncing Music".....Holy Sh...!!!
Notes:On the iPhone: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, personal Hotspot and VPN are all disabled. I use PC. I have about 5000 songs. I do not use Match.
Before today I was also having a disc space issue with a large block of "other". I deleted the music data from my iphone and that fixed that problem, however, the phone was still not syncing the majority (4800 of 5000) songs.
I do not pay for icloud storage, I have never restored my iphone
*I also do not have the "Sync Music" box checked under the Music tab, however, simply doing this did not solve the problem

Itunes keeps turning on 'sync music' to iphone

Everytime I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes will by itself toggle on 'sync music'. When I untoggle it and go back and hand add songs to the phone, it starts a sync process again and low and behold the sync music button is toggled on again! And the songs that I've just added by hand are removed from the phone again.
I recently used the sync to be able to delate some songs that had auto-download to my phone when I upgraded it to iOS7. These songs weren't appearing on the list of music when I hooked my iphone up and I wasn't able to delete them striaght from the phone either. I turned the sync off as soon as I got the songs deleted so I could go back in and add only the small number of songs I wanted to be on my phone.
I'm really at wits end at this point. I'd stop plugging the phone into my computer if I could, but its my only means of charging at the moment. Anyone else have this problem?

Unable to sync music with iphone 5. can some one pl assist ?

I have tried everything to sync music with iphone 5 withut success. any ideas ?? what could be the problem ?

First of all, read my post to OP
     You can only sync music via computer iTunes.
     Watch this iPod video, it's the same for iPhone.
Your Post
     Not true. You CAN sync music via Wifi.
Did I mention anything about cable? So what is not true?

What about that?
To do that you also first have to connect using a cable to set it up in computer iTunes.

Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?

Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?

Have a similar issue. Have iphone 4 running ios7. itunes 11.1.3.8. Probably is intermittent (once every 2 weeks?) and persistent. Syncs fine for days. Then all at once playlists are not updated. For example; over the holidays I added some holiday songs to a playlist. Today I removed the holiday songs from the playlist in itunes. Sync the phone. All messages indicate sync is successful. Songs still in playlist on the phone! Continues to happen over multiple syncs. In the past I have had some songs update but not all songs. This cycle of attempting syncing continues until other songs on the iphone 'disappear' (they are listed in playlists but don't play!). Don't know the cause but it is very annoying and unpredictable. Eventually taking all music off the iphone and then adding it back works but even this take multiple iterations. These issues seem to have started after upgrading to ios7. I have workarounds that are very timeconsuming. I'm interested in solutions to the root cause. Can anyone help?

How to sync music from iPhone to my iPad

How to sync music from iPhone to iPad which is not purchased from iTunes

Import it to your iTunes library and sync it to your iPad with iTunes. To do this with iCloud you will need to import it to your iTunes library, then subscribe to iTunes Match.

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 10.2.1 Freezes while syncing music to iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.1

I hooked up my iPhone 4 the other night to my computer to update it to the new iOS version 4.3.1. The entire time my iTunes would continually freeze and I would have to force quit it. Once I finally got it to stabilize I began to install the update with seemingly no problem. Then out of no where my phone slipped into recovery mode and it told me to restore it so that it could sync with iTunes. When I tried to restore it I received an error code 9 and iTunes informed me that a restore could not be completed. I ended up having to take it to a friend's house and restore on his iTunes without a hitch. I then came home and restored a back up with no trouble at all and had 4.3.1 on my phone. All was well until I realized no music synced.
Now when I try to sync music, I press the sync button and all goes well to begin with. The back up proceeds as normal. It transfers an app purchase that needs to be made and then the problem starts when it hits the music step. It begins syncing a song and then instantly iTunes freezes. The spinning arrows next to the device name stop and no progress is made whatsoever. I lose any kind of control over iTunes. In order to get it back I have to force quit it and restart it or manually disconnect my iPhone from the computer which is as we all know not healthy for it. Cancelling the sync from the phone does nothing at first but then after 15 minutes or so iTunes frees up again but never actually finishes the sync. It's stuck finishing it indefinitely. (In the time it took me to type all of this out and check it for errors it is still finishing indefinitely)
I have tried:
1) Restarting Computer
2) Updating iTunes to the newest version
3) Completely uninstalling and reinstalling all components of iTunes and Quicktime according to instructions from an article on Apple's support pages.
4) Restoring the phone to a back up again to fix any possible corruption
5) Checking only one song and trying to sync it to see if it was an quantity issue
6) Manually syncing music
7) Configuring Security Software
8) Disabling security software
and probably others. Nothing seems to be working. I am unsure if it is an issue with the phone or with the computer and iTunes. I have not tried a complete just all out restore with no back up because I am hesitant to lose all my contacts, SMS messages, and pictures with their saved locations and from what I have read that will get me no where unless I want a completely wiped phone that can't sync music.
I'm out of ideas here so any support from you guys would be much appreciated. I have seen that others are experiencing similar issues so it may be a problem with the combination of iTunes 10.2.1 and iOS 4.3.1. If nothing works I guess it's a $30 phone call to Apple Support. Then again I don't know if that would fix anything either. Hopefully somebody somehwere has an answer.
Thanks in advance,
HSZ

After updating iTunes to 10.2.2 it wiped out my iPhone, iPad and iPad2 and it will not restore on another pc in the house. I spent 6 hours restoring the iPhone but the iPad and iPad2 has taken 6 hours going thru every step in the support recommendations as well as 3 hours on the phone with 2 separate techs today.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, went thru with the tech and edited the registry as well as the msconfig. Rebooted the PC's, reinstalled, uninstalled all of the anti virus software and did a limited start-up, all to no avail.
You cannot reinstall the last working version of iTunes because the library is synced with a later version - so I have 2 dead devices.
Other friends are experiencing the same problem and I know of 2 dozen others experiencing the same issues.
Apple needs to fix the latest update of iTunes!

ITunes 9.2 not syncing music with iPhone 3GS?

I'm suddenly having trouble syncing music to my iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0.1.
I have iTunes set up so that it will only sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. When I make any changes to the selections, iTunes remembers it (even after closing and re-opening) but when I use the sync button, the music or playlists do not transfer. I see iTunes backing up the iphone, transferring purchased items, syncing applications, and then it finishes without transferring anything else.
Anybody seen this before?

Disable your firewall and then try. Once synching begins, then enable your firewall. Simple.

ITunes not syncing music with iPhone 5

Hi
I just connected my iPhone 5 to my iMac to sync up and when it was finished there was no music on my iPhone. I have tried resyncing music but it just doesn't appear on the phone. I have tried deselecting and selecting "Sync Music", I've tried selecting "Selected playlists etc" only, nothing seems to work. Yet when I click on "On this iPhone" in iTunes all music and playlists are there. All my apps, contacts and photos are still there though, theres been no problem with them.
Anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this?
I am using iTunes 11.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2
Thanks,
Emma

Problems syncing music with iPhone

I have an iPhone 5, 64GB running iOS 7.0.4. Problems with syncing music. Please read all
For a while now I have been experiencing some difficulty with my music on my iPhone. There were a few purchased songs and some non-purchased songs (from CDs etc) that weren't going on my iPhone when syncing.
So tonight I tried to fix this and I selected to not sync all music (so all the songs could be removed from my phone) and then re-sync it all. This gave me a problem as it said 124 of my songs were not copied (these song files are definitely not corrupt or anything, they were on my phone before I synced this evening). So I tried to do the whole sync once again but I don't know what has happened this second time...
My phone is now showing 20GB of 'Other' data (this wasn't on there before). I cannot add hardly any of my music as apparently my phone has no space left (I can assure you less than 2 horus ago I had about 28GB of free space, and that was when I had my 28GB of music already on my phone!).
So yet again I try to re-sync my music (when I do this I tick/untick the 'Sync Music' checkbox in the Music tab of my iPhone in iTunes). I want to try and remove all the songs and then re-add them again. But I cannot remove the songs. There are 5 songs (I purchased these songs from iTunes store on my Mac) that will not delete from my phone. I delete them manually on my phone but as soon as I sync my phone (even with the Sync Music box UNticked) they go straight back on there!
I'm normally quite good with this stuff but I'm at a complete loss. It has been stressing me out for the past 2 hours and now it's worn me down I just have nowhere else to turn.
1) How can I remove those 5 stubborn songs from my iPhone? Perhaps answers to later questions means I might not have to do this but I'm a little OCD and knowing that there are these 5 songs that for no reason won't remove themselves off my phone is annoying.
2) How can I check or fix the 20GB of Other data? There is definitely nothing there.
3) How do I re-sync all my music? I have 4268 songs but when I tried to re-sync the first time only 4125 went on. The rest didn't but I don't know why. The files are fine, they were legally purchased etc. In fact I have one album with 100 songs, only 4 of them were synced that time. Randomly 96 of them had no space to sync? Why would only some of them go on my phone?
4) Any help whatsoever! I'm at a loss of what to do This has troubled me ever since 7.0.3.

If I restore as new will all my music, contacts, apps, message history, etc be deleted?
Okay before I try that I had one more go at syncing...
I went to settings and usage and deleted my music that way. I re-synced my phone, all my music went on except that the first 49 songs, under Song List, all play the same song. When you click on any of the first 49 songs in the song list they all play the same song (not the song they should be playing). I deleted this one song off my iTunes but it has had no effect. When I uncheck sync all songs then my Music shows No Content (which sounds good). But when I re-sync, all my music goes on (apparently) but I have these 49 copies of this one song that shouldn't be on there. The file is even no longer in my iTunes Media folder on my Mac. I guess there must be something corrupt on my phone, although I'm not sure how it has occured.

Can't sync music to iphone after a restore from back up

I Recently backed up my itunes library to external hard drive to move it to a new PC. Now on my new PC I have the album files showing in my itunes folder but when I click on them they are showing empty so I though I had lost all my music. However when I opened itunes it searched my PC and restores my library as it was before. The problem now is I cannot update any songs on my iphone it is still showing what I had installed on it before I done the backup. I have us synced music in itunes and when I connect my iphone it is showing no music on it and about 8 gb free but when I look at my phone the music is still there and it is only showing about 500mb free on there?

Itunes won't sync music to iphone 5

I've just upgraded to the iphone 5 32gb from 16gb and having a few issues with syncing music. My iphone 5 (16gb), I passed on to my mother as I wanted a 32gb, but I'm using the same apple id for both phones. I used restore from icloud to set up the phone initially. All my apps and books sync, but music will not sync no matter what I do. I've tried resetting the phone, it made no difference. I've tried erasing the phone and setting up from itunes, instead of icloud and it made no difference. The music appears in itunes as greyed out with a stationary cycle to the left of the music titles. I'm hoping someone can help me here or my only alternative is to take the phone back to the shop and get a replacement.

OK, in a final attempt I finally managed to get it working! I did this by erasing the phone again and setting up as a new phone and then syncing with itunes.

ITunes won't sync music to iPhone

I have been trying for 5 days to sync music to my iPhone 4 6.1.3 I have tried ticking all of the different boxes. I have made sure "Sync Music" is ticked. When I press apply it comes up with 4 steps and then says syncing finished. But it doesn't actually copy the music. I have uninstalled itunes, reinstalled it, restarted my phone, turned the wifi off and nothing seems to be working.I don't think the problem is with my iTunes because it syncs absolutely fine to my iPad. I'm running out of ideas. I was thinking of resetting my iPhone but I don't want to lose my app history because it might not work. I don't really know what to do. Please help.

i have the same problem, please some help

ITunes won't sync music to iPhone 4

I bought a new laptop a few months ago, and installed iTunes. I moved all my music from my old laptop on to my new one, yet my iPhone 4 will not sync to it. I am not able to simply drag tracks across from my library and onto my iPhone, but instead have to create a playlist and autofill them, which means I can't delete or edit song information once i have put them on. This also meant i lost all my music when updating to iOS 5, and whilst I have got some of it back, I still have to autofill songs. If anyone knows how I can get back to being able to sync music like i could on my old laptop, please tell me, even if it involves resetting my phone/iTunes.
