Will not update itunes
I added more music to my i tunes and it exceeded the space left on my i pod mini. So I chose the option to have a random i pod "selection". Then I went to update it and it deleted the play lists I created so I went back to my library and unchecked some songs so I could have all the ones I wanted to fit in my library on my i pod and deleted the "i pod selection play list". Then I got a pop-up saying "cannot be updated because selected play list is missing". So I went back and added the i pod selection play list and copied my music from my library into it and it still will not update my i pod!
HELPPP PLEASEEEEEEEE!
I wish I had an answer for you, but what I do have is the same problem! Suddenly, even with the latest iTunes software and iPod updater, I can no longer update from iTunes on my 3rd generation iPod! After that, audio no longer works on my system. If I do a restart, it still doesn't work. The only way to get audio back is to do a cold boot. But then, even after that, the iPod problem remains. I wonder what's going on here.

Syncing my iPhone 4 will not update iTunes play counts
Running a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 (141).
Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 - I have noticed that when syncing my phone in iTunes (wired), my 'play counts' do not update for recently played songs, and any songs played on my iPhone do not appear in the 'Recently Played' playlist in iTunes.
I mange my music manually on my iPhone, so had a go at removing all the music from it, then copying over just one album. Played the first track of that album on my iPhone which had been played 10 times. Synced iPhone, and still says 10 plays in the play count on iTunes.
Have checked the 'Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts' in the 'Sharing Preferences' in iTunes, but this has no effect.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is it a bug?
Am I missing something glaringly obvious?Dalmanac, I hear you. I record all of my plays to a database, and iOS5 has broken that for me. Quite frustrating.
I've done a bunch of testing tonight, a bit more thoroughly than I did on the weekend. There are two scenarios where I appear to be able to get the phone to sync plays back the the library.
Play a song from the iPhone through iTunes:
1. Connect iPhone.
2. Play song through iTunes, but from iPhone.
2.1 iTunes briefly says "updating files on phone" or something such
2.2 iPhone count increases (viewable in iTunes)
3. Click on Music Library -> play count has not updated
4. Sync iPhone -> play count in Music Library updates
This implies to me that syncing from the iPhone on iOS5 CAN work. The functionality is there, just broken.
Repeating those steps, but playing the song on the phone, not iTunes sees the iPhone count update, but not Music Library.
Starting a fresh library (yeah, I know, I don't want to do that either) and leaving the phone in Automatic mode appears to sync plays from the iPhone when played from the iPhone. I just tested with one track, but it seems to work without issue.
Starting a fresh library and using Manually Manage Music does not work, or at least I can't get it to. It behaves the same as keeping the existing library in manual mode. iPhone count updates, library count doesn't.
The last thing I want to do is start a new library and turn off Manually Manage Music. For the time being I've changed my database import from reading the music library XML to exporting a playlist from the phone of the day's plays (including play date and count) and importing from that. At least for a bit to see if this gets syncing issue fixed - or if I can find the magic combination of making it work again with my existing music library in manual mode.
If anyone learns anything further about how to get it working or has any further diagnosis please post. -
My iPhone 4 will not update. iTunes and my Mac is up to date.
I cannot get my iPhone to update. Everytime I hook it up to iTunes, it says that version 4.2.10 is the current version. I have the 10.4.1 version of iTunes and my Mac is 10.6.8. It still recognizes it and syncs just fine.
It's not a matter of Verizon catching up on the updates. The CDMA (Verizon) iPhone and the GSM (everyone else) iPhone use different chipsets. iOS should be brought up to speed when both are unified with iOS 5 this fall.

My 40g iPod has lost the ability to update from iTunes. iTunes recognizes that the pod is connected but it just freezes on "updating songs". To make matters worse, the entire computer freezes when I eject the iPod.
So far, I've been unable to find a solution to this problem. I do have the most current iPod update and the newest iTunes version.I wish I had an answer for you, but what I do have is the same problem! Suddenly, even with the latest iTunes software and iPod updater, I can no longer update from iTunes on my 3rd generation iPod! After that, audio no longer works on my system.

My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????
Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to. -
When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software. Is there a bug in the iPod program?
If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation) -
Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

I add songs to itunes, but ipod will not update!
I imported songs onto my itunes library. But when I plug it in the usb to update, it will automatically disconnect after 5 minutes, and the ipod will not update. I've tried adding all music, and just checked songs; both do not not work.
I have version 7.0.0.7
I have about 50% of room left on my ipod.
Any suggestions??Hello Rex225
The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes
My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod. -
