What you should do is figure out why no songs will sync:
Is there an Apple ID problem? That's the most likely reason. Maybe you haven't signed in to your Apple ID on iTunes. Maybe the Apple ID on your computer differs from that on your iPhone.
Have you been syncing your iPhone to some other computer? It only syncs to one computer.
Are you using the latest iTunes? The current version is 11.0.5.

When I sync my iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro I get the following message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". The strange this is that the phone did not disconnect because it sync my contacts and is charging.
Why does this happen? I have tried several cables and it does the same thing.Try:

I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro
I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that. there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
<Re-Titled by Host>FTFY (for readability):
"I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
What model of Mac do you have?
What version of OSX are you using?
What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
Best of luck. -

My IPhone 4S no longer updates my calendar when I sync my phone with my MacBook Pro.
My IPhone 4S no longer updates my caldendar when I sync my phone to my MacBook Pro.
Were you syncing over USB? If so, and you upgraded to Mavericks, you will have to switch your calendar to iCloud or another cloud-based option.
Syncing over USB is no longer an option in Mavericks.

I updated my iPod Touch last week, and now I went to sync it with some new music on my computer and I get the message that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start". This is obviously the first step in the process and has never been a message I have received through owning the original iPod, the iPod 2G, and the iPod Touch 2G and now 4G. Any ideas? Common problem?
Thanks. I couldn't find it previously, but once I asked the question officially it popped up in the suggested answers box on the side. Could not, then, figure out how to delete this comment! Ha. Appreciate you taking the time to point it out though, thanks!

I downloaded about 1100 tunes from my old Macbook via fire wire onto my new (at the time) MacBook Pro, I am able to play about 900 tunes however, the other 200 it asks for me to get authorization and these also are from the Itunes store and everytime I give it the passwork it does not honor it, what is the problem ?
Not really, I had changed the password however, but the account name was the same, thanks

Syncing two phones to one macbook pro
my fiance and I both have iphones. I have been syncing my phone to my macbook pro for some time. Her phone is having problems and when we took it into the apple store they got it working but said we could do a firmware restore by using the macbook pro. The tech said we would need to add a user for her phone and then sync it prior to doing the full restore. How do we sync her phone to my computer without deleting her contacts and other info on the phone?
Welcome to the discussions,
Create a new user on your MacBookPro, log in and set up iTunes with her account and make sure to disable autosync in Settings/devices.
After that connect her phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way, this time choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your Mac.
Set up at least one contact and event on your MBP (logged in with her user account), to be able the merge her calendars and contacts after her phone got wiped during the first sync.
Then connect the phone and sync it. You can set up the phone "as new iphone" during this process, which will renew the firmware, and choose the manual backup you made to restore your data from after the setup process is finished.

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?
B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you! -
When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album. How do I get them all together in one album? Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.
Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

am trying to sync my ipad with my computer and keep getting the following message: iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings in your ipad. an unknown error occurs (1631). what do I do??
The search bar can be very valuable...........
In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........
