Q: itunes 12 sync issues - have found a solution
Hi
After wasting **** 2 weeks of my life trying to sync my music and films to iTunes 12 on my new iphone 6plus I have found a combination of button presses that works.
1. Turn off wi-fi and put your phone into airplane mode
2. connect directly to the computer with the supplied cable
3. in summary page tick Automatically Sync AND Sync only checked songs and videos AND Manually manage music and videos.
After 2 long weeks, finally it all started copying over. It's still going but it does look like it's all going on finally though oddly whereas on the iPod the status bar would say uploading 20,000 of 21,000 etc as it counted down, now it seems to do it in random chunks, "copying 17 of 54" they go on then it changes to "copying 43 or 155" etc and keeps doing this with random different numbers but at least it is all finally copying over.
I feel like I've aged a year trying to find a solution to this problem.
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
