Itunes won't sync music to my iPhone5!!

I had the same problem and here's what worked for me. On your phone go to music Then select the more tab. Next select shared and then you will probably see two options your iphone and your library. If your iphone is checked select your library instead and this should fix the issue. All in all a pretty safe and easy fix.

goarmyxthis worked for me. Thank you! It should be easier to find this post.

never mind, only worked temporarily.

If anyone has this problem or finds music that is greyed out on their iPhone or iPad, the unscary way to fix it is do the following, it took some digging to find the cure:

1. Open up the Music app on the iPhone.

2. Along the bottom menu, select where it says 'More'

3. Select the last entry called 'Shared'

4. Select 'xxxx Library' if you currently have 'xxxx iPhone' selected

You will now find that no longer do you have anything greyed out or not syncing and is way quicker than deleting your music library (and less scary) than re-syncing.

This cured all issues for me. Beats me why Apple would hide this without a clear explanation.

I have the iphone 5s and I went to 'more' on my Music app and I don't have the "shared" option. Only Albums, Genres, Compilations, and Composers.

Any suggestions? I'm new to Apple Products so maybe I didn't set it up properly?

You just need to delete all music and re-sync. It takes awhile to re-load to the phone but it worked for me! Pretty easy too!:

Unclick the "Sync Music" box (in the "Music" tab) in iTunes with your phone connected to the computer.

On your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Usage>Music and delete it all.

Sync your iPhone (the music should all be gone now but you may have a couple playlists it decided to keep for some reason - no worries!).

Reclick "Sync Music" in iTunes and......Apply!

Bam!

Happy bug fixing! 🙂

Huge thanks to you Randeelis - perfect solutionI I would recommend everyone follows this fix.

I did all that typed, and I'm stuck on the last part. It just keeps saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

BAT, what, specifically did you do? There are many fixes described in this thread, and we can't help unless we know what you've tried.

My bad, I was doing the steps that Randeelsis put on here and the only problem (which has been the major problem) was that its always stuck on "waiting for changes to apply." Therefore the sync never actually finishes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times and the problem is still there.

Instead of hijacking this thread, try searching for "waiting for changes to apply":

Many of the threads have steps to try.

This is a reguarly-occuring problem that can be caused by many things, so troubleshooting it may take a while. Hope you can find a solution!

Try the following:

• Go to itunes / music / untick sync
• sync
• tick sync again
• sync

I have tried that several times and it always gets stuck on the last step. And I think I know my problem now, I think all my music tracks were corrupted and iTunes and my iPod couldn't cooperate with them. So I guess I'll have to delete all of them and re-download them again. Most of my music didn't come from iTunes so I assume there is a patch with iTunes. But I do appreciate all the advices!

Thank you RandeeIsis !!!

you're a genius! I've had this iphone 5s for months now and i've just been suffering not able to sync my music! After all this time its finally working thanks to you!!
