My music won't sync to my iPhone 4S after updating to 11.1

I solved the sync problem on my iPhone by turning on the Flight Mode before connecting to the PC. Once connected, select the "Manually manage music and videos" in the summary tab - then drag albums one-two at a time, checking in Music on iPhone if each album appears (390 albums...😢).

Some albums (mainly CDs imported some time ago or MP3s) did not appear - this music will not play on ios7.

Then disconnect, reboot all, sync. It worked for me.

Regarding "recently added" playlist, that feature is not available on IOS7. See iOS7 Music App Playlist Editing

Hi,

Even I faced the same problem😕

After 3-4 weeks of discussion with apple customer care and apple's engineering. I finally got the Solution for this issue by following this link. 🙂

Cheers!

I would try restarting both the computer and the iPhone. Then try to sync again.

If that doesnt fix it, I would try recreating the itunes library with this:

What fixed it for me:

1. On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
2. Uncheck "Sync Music"
3. Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
4. Let it run and finish
5. Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
6. Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
7. Let it run and finish
8. Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
9. Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
10. Let it run and finish

See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

Oddly, my issue started seemingly at random. I've been on iOS7 and 11.1 iTunes a while and bought/downloaded/synced with no problem previously. This morning I tried to update a couple of songs into a Playlist .... no go, taking ages on the last step and nothing updating in my phone. My iPod syncs fine, my old iPhone syncs fine, my 4S doesn't.

Fixed it like this:

• Put phone in Airplane mode.
• Un-sync all music, apply the change. (This btw, DIDN'T clear the music off the phone)!
• Sync music again.

I then had my new songs in the playlist fine. I then tried adding an album, with Airplane mode off and it worked fine ................. go figure!?

Hope that helps someone, before they have to go & reset their phone.

having issues putting music on my Iphone 4 after downloading Itunes 11.1

when i plug in my iphone tp my laptop and attempt to sync my music:

1. i go from "Backing Up"
2. to "determining tracks for sync" briefly
3. to "copying diagnostic information" also appearing briefly before it shows
4. "waiting for changes to be applied".

with the end result being no changes applied (IE my music im attempting to put on)

ive tried turning off my passcode, different cords, usb ports on my laptop, with absolutely no luck

NOTHING WORKS FOR ME. I've tried all the albums, them album by album, also I deleted itunes and re-installed....and I cannot get any of my 800 songs from iTunes to my iPhone 5. I was always able to do that before iTunes 11.1. I'm very frustrated. Don't know whate else to do. 😟

I was having the same problem and this worked for me:

+ While in iTunes, click on your device

+ Select MUSIC from the menu along the top of the screen

+ Make sure SYNC MUSIC is checked (mine wasn't)

+ Select ENTIRE LIBRARY

+ Choose YES when asked if you want to change settings

+ Initiate Sync.

Hope it works!

Unfortunately, nothing is working for me either. I can't even sync a single song or album onto my phone. Let alone my entire music library, which I've checked and unchecked multiple times. Rebooting phone and/or computer doesn't work either.

There should be a quick update coming out soon. Hopefully that fixes it..

Try this, go into your music tab in iTunes when you have the phone selected, and hten uncheck the sync music checkbox.

Then apply it. Wait for it to finish, then go back in and check the checkbox to sync your music again. Then apply again.

I've tried that a few times too. The problem seems to be that it never can finish a sync. It just gets stuck on the last step and says "Waiting for changes to be applied" for an indeterminate period of time. I've let it go for hours but it has never finished.

Having the same problem, iTunes won't sync my music, gets to the last step in the process and just hangs there.

iPhone 4S on iOS 7

iTunes 11.1 on windows Vista.

Tried to uninstall/reinstall iTunes but didn't work.

Recreating the library didn't work.

Tried to sync single album with no luck.

Ensured the sync music checkbox was checked.

Phone has been reset, PC restarted several times.

Unless someone has a better suggestion looks like I will have to restore phone to factory settings and start from scratch.
