How do I change my media sync options in my iPhone?

Did you try syncing your iPhone after unchecking all the items? I know for me all I had to do was uncheck my music, sync my phone, then update it after I had synced it.Then I checked my music and resynced my phone so I had the music on there.

I have un-ticked everything on my phone and it still says I need 610 mg of space. What exactly should I be un-ticking?

OK just found where to "tick off" trying that now. Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. Un ticked items and still can't upgrade. Help, please 🙂

Nevermind........ I just turned my phone on and off and it's all good.

Really, sorry, I thought that Peter's reply was appropriate. The first reply to his question didn't answer his question. Personally, I get so sick of sloppy, lazy language.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on the iPhone, sync

Can someone explain exactly WHERE you do this unticking? I totally get you have to untick stuff, but where and how. On your phone, in your itunes on the pc/mac? Just a quick step by step would be helpful. thanks

where did you find it? I think everyone asking questions on this thread just wants to know where not just that one must do this. thanks

Inside iTunes with your iPhone connected you should see the iPhone listed under "DEVICES". Click on the iPhone and you will now see various buttons across the top: Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies... Here you can untick the songs, movies, apps, etc you don't want sync'd to your iPhone. Make sure to hit "Sync" button at the bottom. This will clear space on your iPhone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! At last a clear succinct answer. Not all of us are IT experts and when someone says go here and tick this or that you need to tell some of us exactly how to do that, point by point. Thanks to you Nate-Dogg I've finally been able to update my iphone.

I get the whole unticking thing... however, iTunes still says I need to free up more space. Says I need at least 770MB. iTunes also says that I have 8.5GB free - so, there should be plenty of space, right?

Any thoughts on why 770MB won't fit into 8.5GB of space? I'm stumped...

Will all the consistent response of the same error happening - mind included and I too have unticked, synced, sang and romanced my iPhone, it's still hungry for space that is available, Im starting to think this might be a Apple software bug, and better to skip the update till they fix it.

Life's too short.

Thank you Mr. Broadway. You helped me even though I've had Macs and iPhones for years. I always manage my phone manually so I don't have anything listed in the categories above the box. I think Peter Gillespie was extremely rude to the person asking the initial question. I didn't appreciate the curt answer that Mr. Gillespie thought was so useful as it didn't help my situation one bit. Thanks again. 🙂
