Music not syncing after iOS 7 update

Apple had me reinstall iTunes, wipe my iPhone 5S and restore as "new" from cloud. The they had me delete the songs that were on the iphone and then move a movie over to test. The movie synced and then we synched tow songs and they synched.

Apple may not admit it, but there is a mjor bug happening here or we would not ALL have the exact same issues goiing on.

Good luck.

Well, my fix quit working. I've tried setting up the iPhone twice as new, loading half the music as before, resetting sync services, reloading the library on iTunes, and repairing disk permissions in OS X. It seemed to work fairly well after the iTunes reset for a while. It hung at "waiting for changes to be applied" today.

The only new thing I did today was downloading a podcast on the phone, then syncing in that same podcast from the computer. So perhaps that's confusing it (although that used to work fine). It's frustrating that there's no detailed log to trace the failure, so anything you do is just a stab in the dark.

I think my near-term fix is just not to sync until Apple releases a fix.

Been trying to get some new music I had just added to iTunes synced to my iPhone 5 all morning and just finally managed it.

After going through the various possible fixes in this thread, I had turned off Auto Lock and switched off the passcode. I then went into the Summary tab on the device in iTunes and checked the 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and the 'manually manage music and videos'.

I clicked on the 'music' section in iTunes and was asked if I wanted to apply the changes and I said yes. I then went to the Music tab in the device within iTunes and checked 'Synv music'.

I then did a hard reset on my iPhone and, when it was fully booted back up, went back into the summary tab in the device on iTunes and unchecked 'manually manage music and videos'.

I then pressed the sync button and it sprang to life and is now copying my full music library back over to my iPhone including the new albums.

Glad it's working but this seriously needs sorting out as it should still be a simple process of adding new music!

#Deep Sigh...#

My iPod Touch 5th gen. is now a paperweight.

Nothing works (and I've tried pretty much everything on this thread) It won't sync any music, none at all, Nada, Zilch, nothing.

After 72 fruitless hours today I emailed Apple to let them know they had lost my custom (and why).

The iPod goes back to the store tomorrow because IT JUST DOESN'T WORK, my iTunes library has been deleted permanently, and I move to Google Play Music.

I can sync music now, but not in the manner I am used to. I cannot get the sync check mark to stay whenever I choose manually select and manage music. I cannot have both chedked and in the past I did ( or thought I did). Apple now has me dropping and dragging tracks onto the iPhone5S. Not thrilled with what I consider a workaround by Apple.

Yes, I thought of that too, especially because my iTunes says my iPhone's got more songs than it actually does.

I don't know exactly what I've done, but I solved the problem. All I did was deleting all songs and syncing them back a few times, and at some point, it worked.

However, I'm still afraid to try syncing again and have it all back.

I still believe Apple should review iTunes 11.1.2.

I'm in Scotland too 🙂

I've never been so disheartened and upset... I used to love iTunes because it always worked, and I'd spent some years building up those playlists.

No more.. I'm getting the Nexus 5 and (borrowing) an android device for my music in the mean time.

Solution:

1-Update Itunes

2-Plugin iphone to computer

3-click on iPhone icone in upper right

4-click on music in the top menu bar

5-check sync music

why fix something if its not broken? why change something so drastically and waste everyones time?

the iPhone is supposed to be a tool for our lives, we are not meant to be tools for Apple. But after this update, I feel like a TOOL!

I have tried all these suggestions. It does start to sync but does not sync all my music.

I have a playlist with 6300 songs.

In iTunes, it shows all songs synced, with nothing grayed out.

I go to my settings and it has only 5300 songs.

I go to the playlist, and yes, it is missing 1000 songs.

I never had this problem on iOS 6 or iTunes 10.

I have tried all of these suggestions several times without a solution.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

It seems like Apple have decided it just dosn't want it's iPhone users to use them for storing and playing music with iOS7?

What with the changes to how you can create and edit playlists (not able to add all tracks in an album to a playlist? Who's idea was it to remove that?) and removing the ability to delete full albums from within Music on the iPhone itself....and now this mess with trying to sync up new music added to iTunes?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

FINAL SOLUTION:

After failing with all the above tips and many hours later, i can finally sync music. Here's how:

Restore iPhone (not Restore Backup)

Make sure you do a backup first. (right click iphone under devices in itunes)

Basically it wipes everything and does a setup from new.

Contacts are automatically redownloaded. Messages are lost. Personal settings are lost.

Apps remain in iTunes and need to be installed on phone again. App login details and data are lost, but when you sign in to the app it remembers all your settings, so no big drama.

Resync music/photos etc.. and you are back to normal.

Has anyone tried uninstalling the latest version of itunes and then reinstalling it..I had the same problem on my ipod touch and i tried restoring my ipod and everything then i Just decided on a wim to reinstall itunes and everything started syncing on my ipod again...hope this helps 🙂

just did a restore on the iphone5s just to get rid of 2gb of "others" data.......then restore from backup after the restore

the problem is still here.......cannot sync the 2 corrupted songs into the iphone, just stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" stage

I'm having the same problem but mostly with tracks i've ripped, but not all of them. It seems to be very random. Do apple follow any of this and have they admitted that there is a problem that they are working on? If so I would hold off trying to recreate all my tracks. Bloody nuisance.
