iPhone not syncing mulitmedia after iOS 8 update

i will not restore anything. because then i'll lose everything. also my wallpaper which I don't find anywhere on my macbook :/

I think apple will solve this hopefully in the next iTunes release.

For me I managed to fix all issues is I had to make a restore to a previous version the first time it fixed my music but my apps were messed up.

I had to click on uninstall on all my apps when my Iphone was plugged in, and then I went on the App store and redownloaded them one by one and syncing the phone after every few apps were installed to make sure it doesn't bug when I am all done. So far so good.

Just make sure the sync music box is checked after the restore, I thought my music was bugged again until I saw it was unchecked 😝.

good luck

If you don't want to lose your current data, you should look at the solution I posted in my previous post (in this thread).

First, try to sync your music as you normally would.

If you go to your music Library on your device, in the "songs" tab, and you see a Stop button by some of your songs:

try to play each song in the library (play one song and skip past each track until you finish the list), then try syncing again- everything should copy over. I did this while leaving my phone connected to iTunes. I dont know why you have to try to play the tracks first, but it works.

i dont see a stop button.

i have 2 randomly chosen songs on my iphone - others won't synchronise. its really strange.

Did you have to change your iCloud password around the time you updated/upgraded?

Is all the music you are trying to sync purchased through the iTunes Store - or acquired elsewhere?

You might want to try signing out of the iTunes Store (within iTunes) and signing back in. On Macs, the option to sign out is in the "Store" file menu.

Also, when looking at your device in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab. Is "Sync" option checked? If you only toggle the "Manage my music" checkbox in the "Summary" tab, I don't think it re-checks the "Sync" box in the "Music" tab.

I wonder if iTunes Match is the problem. Turn it off everywhere and see if that helps. (Not likely, but worth a try.)

ill try to log out.. but dont think it will help

There are third-party programs that will allow you to see the data on your iPhone and copy it to your computer. You can extract photos, text messages, etc. If your wallpaper is saved to your photos, you can grab that.

However, to put this content back on your phone you'll have to go through iTunes, and iTunes won't let you put some things like messages back on your phone.

I use iExplorer, but there are other options. Make sure you research the product & get something legitimate. There are a lot of crappy fakes out there.

If you changed your password recently, iTunes may not know the new password which is why I suggested signing out and in again. Or maybe you share a computer with someone else, and the songs were purchased on another account, and that password was changed...

Anything could be the issue... but would make sense why nothing is getting written to your phone.

Also, on the Summary tab for your phone, click the "Reset Warnings" button. You may have turned off relevant warning messages at some point that may help you identify the issue.

you mean this one? iPhone, iPad, iPod: Resetting iTunes sync alerts

Yup

hm no. does not work. its really strange. no errors. nothing.

just tried to sync fotos. they work. but music will not work. i tried everything i guess :/

It would be nice to hear something official from Apple.

I fixed it with restoring the network settings under settings->general tab.

Try it out! Then uncheck/check music sync but it worked for me. got this tip in another thread here.

see it here:

Re: Can't sync music anymore with iOS 8. All disappeared.

that's always the problem. It's weird though.
