Syncing music on itunes with Iphone

I have been through the music on my itunes and I have updated the Artist and Album details to a more uniform list.
When I hit sync at the bottom - my phone still seems to put the songs into seperate folders and artist. e.g. Artist or Artist ft Artist etc.
I just want my music on my itunes and the way it is shown on their to be the same as my phone.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

This has worked for many people according to feedback I have gotten:
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • HT1491 how to sync music from itunes to iphone?

    how do I sync music from that I have downloaded onto itunes on to iphone 4 ?

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-handd sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to your phone's Music app
    If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Problem syncing music from itunes to iphone

    I am having problems syncing my music to my iphone. Itunes goes through the process but my music does not transfer. Any helpful would be great:)

    Go the Applications folder and drag the iTunes.app into the trash.  That's all you need to do with any app on the Mac.  (Easier than that Control Panel thing on Windows . If you want to ensure you delete any related preference files with the app, suggest you use AppCleaner (you can download free here  - http://appcleaner.en.softonic.com/mac .

  • 10.6.6 update and syncing issues in iTunes with iPhone 4 and Apple TV

    After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes 10.1.1 when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS v4.2.1) and my 1st generation Apple TV (OS v3.0.2):
    iPhone error message:
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    Apple TV error message:
    "iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
    Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
    Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

    FYI: I received the following answer to this same question which I had posted in a different area of the forum and it solved my problem:
    +Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?+

  • Syncing Problem in iTunes with iPhone 5

    I successfully synced my iPhone 5 this morning in iTunes for the first time but now I wish to update and sync again, it won't let me!!! What has changed?

    You're running on WIN? Make sure you are having the latest iTunes ver installed. If that doesn't work for you, try using another notebook/pc fresh install iTunes and plug in your iPhone and authorized it. Then start your backup/restore if needed. Fresh restore iPhone may fix your problem on sync-ing on your original notebook/pc

  • Unable to sync music from itune to iphone

    it will start to sync then the last thing it says "waiting for changes to be applied" I have done all the updates what do I do

    Hello, lopezen714. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Normally this indicates system information changes are being applied on the iOS device.  However, this could be related to security software conflicts.  It also can be related to any other mobile device software.  I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below and if any old mobile device software is installed, uninstall them.

    Hi Mike,
    I have Iphones since they cam out buy IO7 on my iphone 4 is slow and frustrating. I sync itunes with sync window. I tried cable and wireless. I have enough space. If I have a playlist say with 200 songs it will say on itunes sync window syncing 200 songs however I only get 150 songs on my iphone. I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

  • IPhone 4 not syncing music through iTunes

    I just recently got the iPhone 4S and gave my iPhone 4 to my dad. We downloaded a new version of iTunes  on his computer and he has music loaded from CDs that he has. When we tried to add music to the iPhone 4 by syncing it with iTunes the music doesn't load to the phone. When we look back at the playlist that we tried to sync, it has the small error logos next to each song. We tried syncing other playlists and got the same result. We synced apps successfully. What do we need to do to be able to successfully sync music from iTunes to the iPhone 4?

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • HT201250 unable to sync music on itunes from macbook laptop to new iphone 5

    I just bought iphone 5. my mac book is OS X version 10.5.8.
    Prolem is I am trying to sync music from itunes as i did in iphone 4, but unable to do it because it requires itunes 10.7 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. What I have to do now?? Why iphone 5 is not compatible with my existing itunes as I did on iphone4??

    Because in designing the iPhone 5 Apple needed to use an Updated version of iTunes in order to offer all the new features that the iPhone 5 offers.  This is discussed in a Support Article on the Mac's OS X Requirements for syncing with the iPhone 5.  Apple has always had to update its Apps and OS's in order to offer new features.  You just haven't Upgraded your Mac and its version of OS X in a long time.  Now would be a good time.
    Hope this helps

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    Im not able to sync music from iTunes 11.1.3.8 to apple iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.4
    Rest everything is synced from pics to tones but only music doesnt sync.

    Most movies go over the 100 MB cellular download. Do it using computer iTunes then sync to you iPhone provided you have enough space.
