Why can't I Sync my iTunes to my iPhone?

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes then connected my iPhone chose sync then it prepares to sync but stops before completion?

Is this something new since upgrading operating sytems? I can get my new purchases into my phone, but not matter what I do, the new purchases don't show up in my playlists. For the life of me, I can't get a recent purchase into an old playlist. I can move the song into the phone's playlist on the computer, but after syncing, it doesn't show up on the phone.

Why can't I open my ITunes on my Iphone?

iTunes on iOS devices is nothing but a link to the store to purchase media.
Music playback is done through music app, video is through the videos app.
What is it you are trying to do?

Why can't I sync my iTunes Library from my second laptop to my iPod?

I just synced my iPod to my iTunes library on my OLD laptop and then used Home Sharing to import that content to my new laptop.
Then, I tried syncing my iTunes Library from my new laptop to my iPod and it said " This will delete all old music, videos & movies from your iPod and replace it with your iTunes Library" wich is exactly what I wanna do! So I clicked continue and it started syncing...
During the middle of the process a pop up appears and says " Your iTunes LIbrary cannot be synced to your iPod because there is not enough room on your iPod (additionaly 2.33GB required) "
But I thought it would erase my songs from my ipod ( approximately 2.40GBs) and replace it with the new ones from my library (2.33GB) ???? Why didn't it? What can I do to have my iTunes Library from my new laptop to my iPod Touch?
( I want my iPod to be able to sync anytime to my new computer because I'm getting rid of the old one.)
Please help, thanks.

So I copied everything in the iTunes folder from my old computer
and sent it to an 8GB USB,
which I'll insert into my new computer and paste the files on to /Music/
Will that work?

Why can't I sync my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to my iPad Mini?

I have just updated my MacBook Pro with the latest iTunes, something I swore I would never do. But I had to do it in order to sync my iTunes library with my new iPad Mini. Unfortunately, after waiting 23 minutes for the software update, I STILL can't sync my music! The only songs I can see on my iPad Mini are songs I've purchased from the iTunes Store...all two of them. The remaining hundreds of songs simply don't show up. C'mon Apple, the reason I use a Mac platform is because it just always works, unlike MicroSucks. Is this what we can expect in a post-Jobs world...?

-_- this is a user to user forum.
Click on your ipad in the upper right- this takes you to your summary page.
click on music tab at the top.
UNcheck all music and apply/sync.
When that is done, REcheck everything, and sync again. This usually works.

HT1386 Why can't I sync music to my new iPhone 5?

I had a large music library synced to my iPhone 3GS. I've now upgraded to an iPhone 5 but, when I try to sync this phone, the "Music" page is blank" except for the note iTunes Match is On. I know I can download songs from the cloud, but to download everything I want will take forever: why can't I just synbc from my computer as I used to do with my old phone?

OK, I found the answer here:

Why can't I sync my notes from my iphone to my iMac?

Hello,
I wanted to sync my notes from my iphone 4s to my imac(OS X 10.8.2)
So I went to icloud on my iphone, checked the 'notes' box and made a icloud mailaddress, but it never askes me to set a password. But a account was created anyway and I can send and receive mails with it.
I went to my imac, settings, icloud and there I wanted to enter my new icloud emailadress, but it asked for a password. I have allready tried my appleID password but the account is nog being added.
I also tried checking the notes box with the icloud option that was in the left column, but nothing is happening.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Yanara

Are you sure that you selected the book to sync to the iPad?

Why can't I sync my iTunes music from my computer to my 4s iPhone?

After both of the newest upgrades, I'm having trouble syncing my music from my computer's iTunes onto my 4s iPhone. After experimenting, somehow I managed to delete a couple playlists off of my phone (which when I plugged in to sync, it deleted the playlists from my library...very annoying, now I have to sort all of my music into playlists again).
I have always synced what was on my computer to my phone. Why is what I'm doing on my phone changing what's on my computer's iTunes? And why won't any of my new music sync onto my phone?
Any suggestions or help is much appreciated, thanks!!

Spoke with Apple support on this issue. After deleting all music and playlists from the phone, unchecking ALL boxes within Music tab on phone, and syncing, music was removed from phone. Then went back and checked sync music/selected playlists/the playlists I wanted on the phone, and it successfully synced those playlists. I did lose the purchased playlist on the phone, which I like because it's my newest music, but that is easily fixed by making a smart playlist of recent purchases and adding it to the sync.
Hope that helps.

TS1503 Why can't I sync my iTunes audiobook to my iphone?

I bought an audiobook on my Mac from iTunes. I thought it would would automatically sync to my iphone, but did not. I got the app ibooks and made sure all my settings were set to receive any automatic downloads for books, etc. But so far I cannot get it onto my phone. The only two devices I use are my computer and phone. What am I missing?

It will only sync if you have selected it to sync.
Open itunes, connect iphone, go to the books tab, select to sync audiobooks, select the audiobooks that you want to sync, sync.

Why can't I sync my itunes with my apple tv anymore

I have a first generation Apple TV with a hard drive. I have all my music, photos and movies on it. I am trying to update my music and photo and I can't sync with my Apple TV anymore. Has apple changed the system so that you can now only stream?

I've had this same problem intermittently. For me, it seems that between my Mac & 1st Gen Apple TV, they decide whether they are synching or streaming. Since later versions, updating the software seems to overwrite the functionality of this earliest generation. My Apple TV now only has content on it that is bought or rented on it and I haven't bothered. The streaming option is not my preferred choice when my wi-Fi hub can be troublesome. Highly frustrating when we've paid out for a device that has its own storage but we can no longer access/utilise it!

Why can't i sync my music to my iphone?

everytime i sync my iphone to my computer, it resets my contacts and notes. i also can't sync music to my iphone and i dont know why, please help!

I have no idea what you're doing then.
I believe I have two songs from the iTunes store, both free. Everything else is either from my own CDs or is digital music from other sources, including retailers such as Amazon. I have no problem getting that music onto my iPod. Nor do I use iTunes Match.

It only syncs (through USB) the songs that I had previously bought off of iTunes.
I'm not sure what you mean by "through USB".
The process is:
Import the music from CD into your iTunes Library.
Add digital music (from non-Apple sources) to your Library
Sync iPod/iPhone with iTunes.
Job done
So what are you doing? Can we assume that you have the music in your iTunes Library? If so, what do you do now?

HT204053 I accidentally set up a different Apple account on my iCloud (iPhone 4) and my iTunes for my iPod. How can I now sync the iTunes with my iPhone?

I recently purchased and iPhone 4. In my haste to set it up, I created an iCloud account with a username that is different from the Apple account name I have on my iPod and iTunes account.
How can I sync the two accounts so that I can download my music from my iPod to my iPhone?
Sincerely,
ORB

Why the **** when I sync my Itunes with my Iphone all is erased

Hello epic Apple, I am an firstTime Iphone BFU user and I want to know why when I download from my Iphone any Application or music or something else via wifi or Edge my Itunes on My WinXp installed pc will erase it in a moment when a sync it? I had music on my Iphone and I havent any on my pc yet. So Itunes decided to erase it? It is ok? And why te Itunes does not allow to transfer data from pc to Iphone device? Which marketing strategy do you want to go? Buy an Iphone tranfer device or Apple Idisk? Because the breaking internet display device via Iphone dont allows you to use the internal capacity in an usefull way? I dont know what about are you thinking of.. I hope the next firmware will fix things such as copy and paste, data transfer, better mesaging support and else. Because if you want to do something better do it best! bye

Why can't I sync 320kbps songs to my iphone?

I recently updated my itunes (11.1.2) and my iphone 5 (7.0.3) and I was trying to sync some songs from my library today, they are 320kbps mp3's which I have never had a problem syncing before, but now when itunes goes through the sync process it just doesnt copy the songs to my phone. I absolutely do not want to convert them. How can I get itunes to sync the songs to my phone?

Call me ingorant, but how can you tell the difference on your phone? Do you have it connected to a really high end stereo? Seriously, I'd think 256 or even 192kbps would suffice for a phone.
I can understand if you don't want to diminish the quality on your mac (especially if you have it connected to a high end system), but you could create some smaller and lower quality files for the iPhone and then export them, couldn't you?
