  • 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.

  • Trouble deleting music off Iphone

    I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

    Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right.  There is a box to the left of every song.  If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone.  To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it.  When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right.  When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
    To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
    Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

  • 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?

  • I'm having a lot of trouble syncing music to my iPhone 6

    I'm having a problem that I've never had with any other Apple product before. I just got this new 6 and I'm trying to get a portion of my music library on to the phone. However here is my problem...
    Whenever I tick "Sync Music" or "Sync only checked songs and videos" it shows at the bottom of iTunes that the music files take up space on the device however when I apply the changes the music is not there. I do not have this problem with applications though. I installed the Instagram app and a bunch of other apps without a single problem. I tried manually selecting every artist that I had but iTunes only synced one song and ignored the rest of the checked artists. I'm very confused because iTunes recognizes that there is music there because it shows that it will take up space in the device if I apply the changes. However as soon as I apply the changes, nothing happens and the bar at the bottom of iTunes showing that the audio files taking up space disappears.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    bump? Is bumping allowed? Lol.
    I just really need some help here.

  • 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,

    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!

  • 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.

  • ITunes (unknown error -54) when syncing music to iPhone 4s. Help!

    I just got a 64 GB iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble syncing my music library. A few artist into syncing and get an error message saying a certain song could not sync (unknown error -54). Then the rest of my library does not sync to my iPhone. I deleted all the songs that made it into my iPhone and I tried syncing my library again. I got the same unknown error -54 message again but it's another song that won't sync. The funny thing is that the previous song that wouldn't sync made it into my iPhone. Because of that I think it's an iTunes problem and not the file. Please help! Very frustrating!

    I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S
