Why does my iPhone sync incompletely with iTunes?

Posted changes to iTunes on MacBookPro, hit Sync, got message "couldn't sync" due to too much space required for added tracks, even though memory-bar indicated enough freespace; removed apps from iPhone to create space, subsequently failed to sync once again. Powered phone down, then up, and repeated; sync added new items, but didn't link them correctly by artist and genre. Am I doing something incorrectly, or does this process need a thorough going-over by SQA?

You may try restore your iPhone. But it will erase all your personal data on iPhone. So, before do that, backup your iPhone first:

Thanks for your response. I don't think a reset would have changed anything ... I examined the linkage problems more closely and found that correcting naming errors and un-selecting "compilation" in a few instances was a fix. I would suggest that Apple tech-writers invest a few words in making distinct the concepts of collection (of multiple disks in a multi-disk set) and "compilation" (whatever that is).
