IPhone 4 won't load music library on Sync

I'm sorry if what I said was misleading.

I simply ment that I've tried tinkering with what seems to be every possible tab/check/setting on my phone and itunes.

Also, the reason I do no think it is an itune match issue is that it is clearly disabled and I am not a subscriber. This is also something I'd tried tinkering with, since it was listed as a possible cause of my problem on many sites.

Both my apple IDs are the same on the computer and iphone. I am looking for solutions that may have helped others with this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion sberman, but yes. I have the most current version of both itunes and iphone software.

Here is a screenshot from my Music sync page.

And here is the screenshot from my iphone summery page (as a side note, although I have it set to sync wirelessly, I have not been able to find the device under itunes if it is not plugged in.)

When I hit sync, everything seems to go just fine. The calendar, the photos, and everything else I have set to sync go flawlessly.

However, as soon as the sync is complete:

My data bar revers back to this, and the music is not put on my iphone. It seems that somehow, my voice memos get synced but not a single one of my playlists or tracks.

Any ideas?

According to your suggestion, I tried doing a sync with only a genius mix selected. I had the same problem. I also tried doing the sync without any playlist selected and checked off "Automatically fill free space with songs". No dice... still doing the same thing as in the above screenshots and not loading any songs onto my iphone.

Yes, 99% of my songs are "checked", save for a few christmas tunes 😝

I tried doing a sync without "Sync only checked songs and videos", and still I have the same results.

This is what I tried next :

I selected "manage music manually". This enabled the "autofill" option at the bottom of the "on this iphone" tab.

I was hopeful, since the blue audio bar stayed the same after the sync. However, there is still no music on my phone, and no music data.

As you can see, Music has "No Data" listed even if itunes thinks it has been loaded on the phone.

For the first time in over a month, I have gotten music to load on my IPhone. I'm not 100% sure what enabled the music to actually start syncing, but here are the things I did prior to the suddent change:

1) Disabled wifi-sync. It's my suspition that this was a major factor.

2) Removed all videos, photos, tv shows and podcasts by unselecting "sync".

3) Synced only one Genius mix. I will experiment and see if Itunes will also sync any of my colections.

4) Unselected "automatically fill free space with songs".

5) Removed all of the Summery options exept for "sync only checked songs and videos".

Again, I'm not sure what did it, or even if it was something else, but I am incredibly releaved.

Thanks sberman for all your help and patience. I've been working on this problem for 4+ weeks so it is incredibly relieving to see some progress.

Not quite out of the woods yet.

Further devellopment: I tried adding more of my collections to the sync. However, halfway through this appears and completely interups the sync.

I tried attempting the sync with "convert higher bit rate songs to..." selected, but the same error came up.

I then tried to manually uncheck the problem songs (which was confusing since I had songs with duplicate names that where causing the problem). Although the error no longer came up, the sync did not go through.

My next attemt was done after deselecting "convert higher bit rate songs". I then tried the sync with only one static playlist selected, but the sync simply wasen't "taking" - itunes would go through the motions but not put anything on the phone.

Next I unselected the static playlist for syncing, and instead tried two different genius mixes to make sure I hadn't broken anything. It didn't "take" again, and I am currently still trying to find a way for it to reinact the sync it just did. It was working, and now it's not again!

Ok. Here's what I did next:

- Organized Itunes music library by letting the system consolidate the files. "Keep itunes files organized" has always been checked.

- Did a sync to wipe all music/movies/tv/shows/podcasts/images from phone. It removed them. (this is pertinent because I've had times in the past where I was not able to use a sync to remove files)

- Did a sync with only Genius playlists.

Here are the screencaps of that sync.

Then I selected music to sync, only genius playlists:

However, after the actual sync, the music did not get put on the phone (notice the depleted blue music bar at the bottom of the screen)

I have a pretty long list of "duplicate songs". I will try going through them when I can, but I find it odd as it has never been a problem before. (most are duplicates from different albulms with the same songs)

Just to clarify, are you suggesting I have the AAC conversion on or off?

I had Itunes crash while attempting a sync. I "consolodated files" again to make sure it had been inturrupted because of the last crash. However, it became unresponsive while I was trying to change sync information. I will restart my entire computer and try again.
