Why can't I sync my music in iTunes when I have enough space?

I bought a new laptop and downloaded the new iTunes, I thought that when you sync to a new iTunes it automatically deletes what's on you iPhone and puts whatever is on your new iTunes.
I currently have ~1000 songs on my iPhone at the moment (There is still free space available on my iPhone, but not a lot) and have tried to sync with my new itunes that only has 600 but it won't let me because it's saying I need additional space? If my iPhone can fit 1000 songs on it at the moment, why can't it reduce it to 600? I don't understand.
Also, sorry if this is in the wrong category, please let me know so I can move it.

Sometimes a simple restart or reset of the iPad will help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, check out this support article.

I share a Toshiba Qosmio with my fiance as our 'home' computer, i recently bought an iphone 4, he has a 4s why can i not sync my music to itunes? Is there a way to have 2 seperate accounts on iTunes using the same computer

My fiance and I share our home laptop, he is awaiting his new Mac arrival. During this time I have sold my old laptop and used this one, Toshiba Qosmio. When i plug my iphone 4 into iTunes and try to sync the music, it prompts a window that says if i sync music his, from his iphone 4s will override mine and erase my music. Isn't there a way I can have 2 seperate accounts or just delete his, as he is getting a new one? I have tried uninstalling although it still comes up to his account. TERRIBLY FRUSTRATED!!!! I am new to the iphone, as we were Droid users prior to this. Thank you for any help

Why can't I download apps onto my iphone when i have enough memory and my apple password is correct.

I have sucessfully downloaded apps on my iphone many times in the past. Now, when I select and try to install an app it begins to download, I put in my password and then everything reverts back to the start. I have lots of memory and even free apps won.t download. I've looked and read all the support manuals online and nothing helps.
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to help. I would appreciate any advice.

You will have to call Apple and ask for Account Security.

HT4859 I have iCloud for my iPhone, my daughters iphone and 2 of my ipads and have purchased the max amount of storage I can but still get a message saying i don't have enough space to store anymore. Do I need to put each device on their own account?

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

ITunes update wiped out my music and apps. When I got everything back, now it won't sync. It says I don't have enough space on iPod. I have more than enough.

I Updated itunes and it wiped out all of my music and apps. I had over 4500 songs and had to reload. Some from backup, some from cd's. Now when I try to sync my IPods and IPad, it says I don't have enough space to sync. I know I do because I have less now than when I would sync before all of the nice update.

Depending on how you recovered the library iTunes may see the restored files as "new" content and not match them properly with what is already on the device. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash for the way I would normally approach the issue. You may need to manually backup and then restore the device in order to fix things.

It appears that you are trying to sync too much media to the iPod. Check your checkmarks. Also see:

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?

Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

Hello cwill2
Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

The only music that is syncing is the music that I bought through iTunes... WHY CAN"T IT JUST BE SIMPLE?! (I don't have a backup of it..)

Why can't I sync my music automatically anymore to my iPhones ?

I've got two iPhone 4's. Something has happened in the settings so that I can no longer "automaticall" sync my music.I'll select the albums and artists I want to sync and then press sync and it never transfers my selections. I can sync my music to our iPads with no problem. I believe this problem occured after I did a restore on thr phones because they were both having weired problems. I figure it has to be a setting but I can't figure it out. I've had iPones for years but can't figure this out. Please help!

I restart my phone and computer, then it let me sync. If you have same problem try this, it might work.

Why can't I sync my musics from my itunes library?

I just downloaded the newest version of itunes to update my ipod to the version 5.0.1 and I have a whole playlist in my itunes.
when i looked in the music icon of my ipod, there was only one song in the playlist. I clicked on sync many times and there is no result.

Makes sense. Hadn't thought to add artwork to the actual individual files before uploading. For my own present sanity, I just added our logo art manually to each downloaded episode (3 as of today) so at least I have it looking right in my own iTunes library. But in the future, I'll do the imbedding thing so it will work for everyone else. I thought since iTunes has a lag time on searchability and artwork with the original first podcast submission, this was just another thing waiting to resolve on it's own, but now I know it's another tiny step in the pre-upload process. Will definitely remember to add the art moving forward. Thanks!
