Q: Music not syncing after iOS 7 update

You can add me to the list too!  Soooo fed up with the apple now, does nothing work anymore?

Latest itunes, latest ios... no syncing, just hangs on last phase the same as everyone else.

It's incomprehensible to me that apple doesn't even admit there is an issue. Try Spotify. It's great!  I think I have a phone upgrade in a few months. Moving to Samsung!!  Bye bye!

I bought a couple of songs yesterday on my iPhone and can't sync them with my iMac via iTunes...

I don't understand why iTunes isn't downloading the new songs automaticly... "Search for available downloads" brings up "There are no available downloads for this Apple-ID" ... but there IS -_-

iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3)

under OS X with the newest iTunes

Same issue. Synched fine yesterday with 7.0.2, and been synching fine since 7

Updated to 7.0.3 and iTunes 11.1.2.31.

Put new songs in my library on iTunes, click sync, does a 'sync', check phone, songs not there.

Delete songs from iTunes library, click sync, does a 'sync', songs still on iPhone.

Untick Sync Music in iTunes, click sync, iPhone free space indicator goes from 9Gb to 12 Gb, sync completes, iPhone free space indicator goes from 12Gb back to 9Gb, check phone and all music is there..

With this update i cannot sync AT ALL. Nothing that i do in iTunes is reflected on the phone. It just ignores it completely.

It's ludicrous this was allowed to come out in this state.

And "Smart" Playlists are probably still broken i bet.

hey Andy -- one step that "worked" (as in, a temp fix until they really fix this egregious problem) for me is making sure to uncheck "Sync Music", and do a full sync removing all music from the phone, then rechecking it so then all the songs are added back WITH the new ones.

**the first time I went into my iPhone settings and actually deleted the music data, via a swipe delete [[and this may actually be what made this work out going forward]]**

similar to what you did but a little different and may help you out. but yes, every time I have to add songs, I need to resync everything, which is ridiculous.

APPLE IT WOULD BE SUPER IF YOU WOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. KTHX

I updated to 7.0.3, with the latest iTunes, and now my iTunes seems to think that my 32G iphone 5 only has 16G.  It'll synch everything, but won't let me go above approx 16.3GB.  Anyone else seeing this issue?

guys, why don't we bomb apple.com/feedback with bug reports over and over and over and over and include a link to this discussion thread in every one. I've submitted 10 so far today.  Maybe if we all just keep doing it someone will finally get back to one of us.

Good idea. Just posted this:

Dear Apple,

it is not possible to sync my music to my iPhone 5s. I bought the most expensive phone for 899 EUR and this main feature does not work. I tried all the possible solutions on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5324398?tstart=0 but it just does not work. I'm a pro user using many smart playlists and never experienced any problems. This is really annoying since the problem exists for weeks and hundreds of users are talking about it in the forums.

Please fix this bug soon.

Best, Patrick Hammer

This is a great idea. Can someone please write a form letter that we can all post. There are many other threads dicussing this issue. But this one is by the longest and oldest around. We are in this together my friends.

I did try that. Unfortunately unticking to sync music in iTunes doesn't do anything either! I can untick Sync Music and click sync, the sync 'runs' but all my music stays on the iPhone.

I'll see if i can delete everything from the phone manually and start again.

If not i guess it's manual backup time, delete my music from iTunes and try a restore. Eugh, only just got this phone and set up how i wanted it..

I've also just filed a feedback bug report at apple.com/feedback.

EVERYONE needs to send in bug reports... This is VERY important!!!

just done it and copied the link to this thread.

Yesterday, after update my 4s and iTunes to the last versions, I'm one more time stuck on "Waiting for changes...". After various attemps: Cancel sync, reboot phone, close iTunes, reboot computer... when I was thinking that I would need to delete and copy again all my music, I had reach to finish a right sync but I don't know what of this things has worked:

- Uncheck Show cloud purchases.

- Repair Permissions.

- Delete my Smart Playlists and create them again.

I hope this will help.

My guess is they will only admit there is a problem when they have worked out the solution.  Surely, it shouldn't take too long - ios's up to 6 work fine up to the previous itunes update (I'm wary of this  latest one in case that has changed). I'm resisting any more updates of ios or itunes until this is sorted.  There's no point in all the ios7 bells and whistles if, much to the annoyance of users, something basic like devices not syncing music etc correctly, is not addressed or even mentioned.

Anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right when i resync my playlist.

Thnks!
