Sync music problem

1. Firstly I have
(A) Ipad ( IOS 5.0.1) (mine)
(B) Iphone (No music)
(C) Ipad ( IOS 7.0.6) (wife's)
All above synced to my Itunes on my PC.
I can Sync music to my Ipad (IOS 5.1.1), I don't bother with music on my Iphone, but have tried numerous times to sync music to my wife's Ipad ( IOS 7.0.6) only to be turned back by a pop up box below.
If I'm reading the pop up box right then I have only one Itunes Library, no others, just one library, how do you more than one anyway, besides one is enough to handle.
Kind regards
blackscorpion (and an old blackscorpion, no sting left in the tail)
P.S I don't post often so I'm crossing my fingers I can get back to this thread.

Hello Blackscorpion,
The message that you see Erase and Sync means that your device is synced with some other computer earlier for syncing some content on your iPad. And if you click on Erase and Sync then it will erase the current content on iPad and then sync your iPad with your current iTunes Library. You can try the method as mentioned by "Wjosten" in his User Tip but before you start read the Article Carefully as you may lose your current iPad Data if you do not follow the method carefully.

OVi Suite 2.0.2.42 Syncing Music Problem N97

Hi,
I have tried to sync the music from my system to my N97 handset using OVi Suite (OVi is runnning on Windows 7) and the sync process was successful but I'm facing problem in finding the song files now in Nokia N97.
I have choosen the Mass memory for the sync path, but I'm unable to provide a path say (E:/my_music). It takes default path of E:/Music. Is there any way to change this path from Music to some other path.
Under music folder, the song files are copied further under an artist folder. Why OVi suite while syncing categorizes the music files on artist basis. I don't have that artist folder in my hard drive. Why its not maintaning the same folder structure as its on my hard drive. Is there any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
nazz

I still like PC Suite as it treats the file as data files and maintains the folder structur unlike Ovi. Only problem which I have seen with PC suite is that it does not allow you to create multiple watch points.

You cannot auto sync with more than one computer, well yea you can, but you've experienced what happens when you do. You CAN however manually manage your music and get music from multiple computers. Please see this article about doing that:

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.

Hi Samuel6495,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your music does not sync after updating your software, first retart your iPhone if you haven't already:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Next, try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

When I enable imatch on my iPhone 4s it takes approximately 30 minutes before other data fills 13.2gb of usable data. This problem does not occur when I manually sync music to my phone. Is this a common bug, and if so; is there a fix?

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Problem Syncing music to iPod....PLEASE HELP!!!

When I click on the sync ipod icon a warning message pops up saying that the songs can't sync because all playlists selected to sync no longer exist.
What can I do to fix this problem???

This problem arises when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

Problems syncing music....

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

Syncing and music problem after iOS 4.3 update

Hi there
I updated to iOS 4.3 and found that my phone would no longer sync to my PC. After doing some research and trying lots of things (e.g. removing and reinstalling iTunes, de and reauthorising computer, forcing iphone to restart) I was having no luck so I did a restore. This didn't work either and just hung for hours, so had no choice but to stop it and then my partner managed to get my iPhone back to life on his Mac.
My iTunes then recognised it as new and I was able to start rebuilding my library. However, when I sync music to my iPhone now, it won't play - it just flashes up for a second and then crashes out. Only happens on my music - podcasts play fine. Haven't tried video yet. It also flashes up the album artwork but it is all distorted (cut in half with the bottom half at the top and vice versa...weird).
I tried downloading a song on my iPhone which played fine, until I then synced it with the computer and it got the same error as the others.
Any ideas?! I'm planning to uninstall iTunes again tonight (being sure to completely remove any trace) and erase all data and settings from the iPhone so I can start completely afresh. It's the only solution I can think of.
Thanks
Alan

I have discovered this is a problem with Windows 7 Updates (probably Service Pack 1) for me - after I installed the updates all my music corrupted again and iTunes started freezing and not backing up. Lo and behold, after formatting my computer again and not installing ANY Windows Updates, the problem was fixed and I've been able to add all my music back.
Now I'm not sure what to do - I would like to get Windows updated, but I know it's going to break my phone. Am tempted to try a different iPod manager software to see if that helps.
Where do I get the iTunes patch? (sorry if it's really obvious)

Problem Syncing Music

Hello.
I got a 4th generation iPod Touch back in December 2011. It has always synced perfectly, music, apps, etc. Everything was fine, up until about a month or two ago.
It had the music I had previously put on it back when it was syncing fine, but now it refuses to add new music.
Things are all checked. There's room on the iPod. I made sure the music files are not corrupt, and so forth. Everything should work.
What I've found is that when I try to sync new music to it, it just shows up in the "Music" category of my iPod, but it's grey, with that greyed-out "syncing" symbol next to it. I'm honestly not quite sure what this has to say about the songs.
The only way I've found I've been able to add any music to it is to restore my iPod completely. I've done this a few times in the past month, and I assume you can see why there would be trouble with having to do this every time I want to add new music, even if it is just one song.
Other than having to restore it, there have been a few times where if I connect my iPod to my computer after disconnecting it (with the greyed songs still on the iPod), it will sync them in the sync it does when it first connects to iTunes.
However, recently, it hasn't even done that. iTunes will freeze during "Step 4 of 5: Determining Apps to Sync", and if I leave the page, it won't let me access it for a while. When I am able to return to iTunes, the sync is over, but the songs have not synced to my iPod.
Like I said, the songs are all checked. I've tried changing from Manually selecting music, to just Syncing music, and neither work. The music files play in iTunes and are fine. Could it possibly be something with my iPod's software? It's up to date now, with iOS 6.
Can anyone help me with this?

Disable your security software. Reinstall itunes with security software off or removed. Ones that commonly have to be removed completely are Mcaffee, Kaspersky, AVG, Malwarebytes and Free Norton. The others usually cause less problems.

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.
