Why different available space amounts with itunes sync - computer v. icloud?

When I sync my 3rd gen iPad to my MBP directly, the bar at the bottom says I have 8.3 GB available. When I switch it to iCloud sync, that bar change to 5.3 GB available. The difference is in the Other category (which includes what?). Is this a problem? Or why such a difference?

It appears to be a bug in iTunes 11.1. A quick scan of the forum reveals every second entry is people who can no longer synch after upgrading iTunes. You could try these items if you want :

However, I should warn you that I tried them all and I still cannot synch.

HT1386 why wont my ticked items on itunes sync to my iphone?

why wont my ticked items on itunes sync to my iphone??

It is a 7G... I believe. Not sure how one would be able to tell for sure.
I thought it maybe the an HD vs. SD problem.
I have just re-downloaded the movie in the SD format... with the same message returned.
I am very new to Apple... I am finding navigating iTunes extremely difficult.

My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

Why does my Macintosh HD and Utility Disk give different available space values?

My MacBook Pro (about a year and a half old) has started running extremely slowly out of the blue, to the point it is barely functional. I've tried basically everything, restarting, cleaning up the desktop, clearing out my downloads file, starting in safe mode, resetting the PRAM, updating the operating system. Now my Mac HD says it has about 400GB free space out of 700GB, however today I was running utility disk to see if that would detect a problem and when selecting the first Macintosh HD option it says I only have around 18MB free, is this my problem? and if so how do I fix it? and why would I have two different values for available space? The second Macintosh HD entry does have the same available space in the get info page as is listed in the Disk Utility.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why is anything to do with itunes utter crap

I was given an ipod touch for christmas and the only problem I have had has been the total crap that is itunes. Everything is a problem. Itunes cannot be saved, error 4002, error syncing artwork, cannot sync at all. I've tried lots of fixes. Close Itunes and it will not relaunch, unless I reboot. I never had this trouble with a MP3 player. I wonder wether it was a goog Christmas present at all considering that I'm not a computer expert.

I have an alternate question: why do so many people who have a problem with iTunes just rant about how bad it is, but never provide any details about their setup or the problem so that anyone here can possibly help sort things out?
Sorry to seem harsh, but ranting does no one any good, not you or anyone else reading here. If you'll calm down, post information about your setup - you don't even say what OS your computer is running - the exact nature of the problem including the full text of the error messages, and what specifically you've already tried - I'd suggest posting in the appropriate iTunes forum, since this isn't an iPod problem as such - perhaps someone can help. iTunes works just fine for millions of people, and the chances are it can work for you if you'll have a bit of patience and give us enough detail that we can offer suggestions.
Regards.

Why different Apple ID's for iTunes Store and icloud?

When you do the icloud/iso5 thing, it makes you create another Apple ID. It wouldn't let me use the one I already had, so now I have two diferent Apple ID's and it's a pain. I have itunes credit under one ID, and it won't show up in the other. What are we supposed to do about that? Syncing is deffinately the answer but I can't figure out how to do it. I guess I need to go to the Apple store...unless someone knows how to do this? Also, I have 3 devices (pc, iphone 4, and ipod 3) and they're all "ID mixed up as well!" There's no rhyme or reason to it at all. Is anyone else going throught this?

I don't know about that. I'm using the same Apple ID for both my iTunes account and my iCloud account with no issues whatsoever.

Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

Scared to sync my iPhone with iTunes after computer crash

Hi - my computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. I used a program and recovered all of my music and apps from my iPhone 4S and then added a few new music files. I'd like to sync my phone with iTunes to get these new music files on it (they are from a CD, not an iTunes purchase). I'm afraid that when I sync, it will erase all of my pictures since there aren't any pictures on iTunes. How can I be sure this won't happen? I want to use iTunes for syncing and back up but I'm scared to, because it might erase everything. I have already checked off the "do not automatically sync." But once I press that sync button, what might happen to my pictures?
Help and thanks!!!

Why can't i backup with iTunes 11

I am trying to backup with my Imac 27" running Lion, but I can't find any devices to back my Itunes library to. I want to back up using my DVD +R-DL disks. Am I doing something wrong? (Just in case, I'm upgrading right now to Mountain Lion and will try again.)
Thanks,
Bob
p.s. running with Itunes 11.0.1 on my desktop.

This update is terrible; consider yourself lucky if you can't download it. I wish I read all of the complaints before installling. Without Steve Jobs, Apple's reign is over. It's just been one crappy decision after the other. For Christmas I'm buying different devices.

Trouble syncing iPhone 4s with iTunes (sync won't start)

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my computer, both my computer and iTunes recognize it and nothing seems out of the ordinary until I try and sync the phone with iTunes. After pushing the sync button, the top of itunes says "Syncing iPhone (step 1 of 7)", and under that "waiting for sync to start", but after a minute or so a pop up box appears that says the sync could not be completed because it failed to start. I've tried all my USB ports, multiple cables, both my phone and itunes are completely up to date. Any idea what could cause this problem?

Any experience with iTunes syncing to Sony Xperia Active?

I'm considering getting a Sony Xperia Active only becasue it's more durable than an iPhone, but am curious if anyone has any experience with its syncing to Apple software like iTunes, iMovie, Address Book and iCal?
Thank you!

Not really any of that from reading the software information. It seems it just does it on a basic file transfer level, not interfacing with any of Apple's actual applications (not surprisingly). Playlists are actually part of the iTunes library, not the media files. While you could add a "playlist" to it by dragging the files to the device, it would just be adding a bunch of files and you would then have to figure out how to get them structured into a playlist format the device understands. There may be third party software packages that go beyond the basic one I linked but you would have to search.
On the calendars and addressbook, again, no interface with Apple's applications. You'd have to export the data into some format the device could then import. Maybe not impossible but certainly not seamless.

Help with iTunes Sync

Hi my iTunes account won't update/sync to be the same between my 2007 iMac (Leopard) to my MacBook Pro 2012 (Lion) - have tried 'home sharing' but it just won't update anything new since my first download. I can't find a 'refresh' option. How to I get my new podcasts/music to update automatically to the MacBook Pro after they have been updated on my iMac? I can't update my iMac any further as it has only got 4GB so I can't get iCloud it and don't want to have duplicate everything in Itunes on the one account.
I want to set up my new iPhone to link on my MacBook Pro but it just won't pull across the iTunes info updated on iMac.
Steph

I've this same problems too.
Version & Device info:
iPhoto v9.5.1 (with 14,000+ photos and 100 short iPhone/iPad video)
iTunes v11.1.3
Macbook Air 2012
OSX 10.9.1
Problem:
Unable to sync photo to iPhone 5S via iTunes (sync photo from iPhoto).
The sync at iTunes completed but there're nothing at my iPhone 5S.
Tried:
Just got my iPhone 5S last week, trying to sync my iPhoto library to it using iTunes. But it keep crashing.
So I decided to start from the beginning again... I exported all iPhoto photos and video to folders.
Create new iPhoto library and import all photos and videos (with a folder at one time, approx 100-200 photos max in single folder).
Then sync to iPhone via iTunes (after each folder imported to iPhoto)
Everything went well at first (after synced 12,000+ photos), I can see the 'Events' tab in my iPhone 5S photo library and browse the photos.
Today, when I continue syncing the rest via iTunes, after it has completed the sync, all Photos that I'd synced previously is now gone. There're no 'Events' in my iPhone 5S photo library now.
Restarted iPhone 5S and also MBA, retried several times to sync and check, no luck! Even though the iTunes sync completes without any alert message, nothing is syncing to my iPhone 5S.
In my iPhone 5S, now there're only those new photos and video that I captured last few days. Nothing else.
Previously using iPhone 5 (with the same iPhoto library and everything was so smooth without any problem). Is this iPhone 5S problem or latest iTunes / iPhoto problem(s)?
Anyone else has the same issue and able to solve it? Thanks.
