Q: Music not syncing after iOS 7 update

I haven't checked Photos -- but it definitely affects podcasts.

Just reported it, too.

This is ridiculous, just adding my post. Apple sort this out!!! My ipod touch is an expensive brick at the moment. I cannot sync except the first sync after a restore, simply unbelievable. Tried many of these suggestions and no luck. Am fed up of waiting to restore so for now I'm going back to my old touch 2g hey, at least it still plays music....Come on get your act together

Re: Music not synching up on iPhone after OS7 upgrade

Music File Configuration: My original MP3 files are in D:\My Music. Inside that folder, all musicians have their own folder, and each album has its own subfolder. The MP3's are inside the album folders. This may be configured somewhat differently for each user, but should substanially be the same.

Here is what worked for me. These instructions are for the layperson not too familiar with iTunes.

1. Make sure your iPhone is plugged into your PC.
2. Start iTunes if it hasn't already started up. My iTunes automatically goes to the Music Category; I'm hoping this is the case with everybody else.
3. Select the 1st song from the 1st album shown. In the near top left-hand corner, click Edit --> Select All. All your music has been highighted. Hit the Delete key on your keyboard and confirm that you want to delete all files.*
4. Below the Apple symbol in the top center is a line reading, "Songs Albums Artists... [etc]." To the right of that is an iPhone button. Click on that. (If it doesn't appear, your phone didn't sync. Start at Step (1).) Scroll to the bottom and click on the Sync button. At the top of the screen is a progress bar. Wait until it stops. All your music files will be gone on your iPhone.
5. At the top left of the screen, click on File --> Add folder to library..., and select the primary folder where your MP3's reside (usually My Music). Wait until the progress bar completes.
6. Scroll down and hit the Sync button again. Wait until the progress bar on top completes (depending on how many songs you have, this could take several hours). You should have all your music on your iPhone once more.

* You may need to do the same thing with your Apps, Movies, TV Shows, etc.. Though I never did it, you should be able to follow the same instructions above in perpetuity, i.e., once you've deleted your Music, then delete your Apps, then delete your TV Shows, and continue deleting siad files before continuing to the next step.

Did the new version of ios7.03 help?

no use at all.......

No. I have the latest version.

I assume you work for Apple. So I'd also like to address another issue. It takes 15-30 seconds for any App to load. Why this is I have no idea. IO6 didn't have this issue.

Okay, this has happened to me twice.  iPhone 4S, 7.0.3, iTunes 11

1. Close EVERY app.

2. Turn off passcode.

3. Hard restart (top and home buttons together).

4. Start iTunes.

5. Connect.

6. Sync.

7. Disconnect and restart phone (top button only).

Only after doing Step One has it worked for me, and it's worked both times.  There follows a VERY LONG sync as it seems to believe it needs to restore gobs of stuff.

Problem solved to go your Iphone and click Music tab click were it says Sync Music and select Entire music or Seleted music thats the problem

Writing from Peru, iphone 4s,

Same problem and the latest version of ios and itunes also don´t even work, music is one of the mos important things in our life, i use iphone five years ago but i'm thinking about changing to samsung galaxy if you dont fix it as soon as possible..

Have you tried to sync smart playlists after this? It won't sync all the songs no matter what you do.

Tried, doesn't work.......still stuck at waiting for changes to apply

I had the same issue after updating to 7.0.3. After reading a few solutions on here, the one where you uncheck Sync Music removing all songs from my iPhone, disconnecting it and then reconnecting and checking Sync music again. It restored my music.

Guys work arounds are at best flaky and lets face it before now ITUNES pretty much worked 100% ALL OF THE TIME!!!!

So as suggested above everybody needs to fill in the feedback form because clearly this software a) hasnt been tested properly, b) just doesnt work!!!

Please do this...

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

Smart Playlists have been broken in some form of another since iOS7 came out.

They work 20% of the time at best for me. Sometimes playlists get copied, sometimes they dont.
