Sync music clears library
I just got a new iPhone IOS 9.1 6. I want to sync music on my hard drive to the phone. I added music to ITunes. In ITunes, I clicked on the IPhone, and then you click on music in the list on the left. I checked Sync music and ensemble music library, when I hit Apply at the bottom of the screen I get the following message.
This means - he's going to wipe my phone or just music? I'm the only person who has ever used ITunes or sync on this computer.
Hi rage866,
Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry for any confusion about this message. In this case, it would erase any content in the same category of the iPhone that is being synchronized, so music, pictures, etc.. Because it is a new iPhone, you can go ahead and restore to factory settings from iTunes, which will then correctly associate with your iTunes library when you configure synchronization:

Family sharing prevents Sync music?
I just started the sharing of family and I can are no longer synchronized songs (not downloaded via iTunes) to my iMac to my iPhone. The best recommendation I found on Apple's site has been to use home sharing. HomeShare provide a real sync on my phone (actually transfer music on my phone), or just provide a service of streaming from my Mac to my iPhone? I listen to music in my car a lot, and I don't want to be constantly with the cell towers to listen to music from my Mac at home... Would help to all points of view.
I download music at Amazon and rip my personal library of CD in addition to using iTunes. I am trying to find a way to get the music on my iPhone to my iMac.
Home sharing is for playback of content in a different iTunes library that is located on the same local network. It is not for synchronization or transfer of multimedia files.
Family sharing should not prevent the synchronization of your own media. Please provide more details... What happens when you try to synchronize? What keeps you in sync? You get an error message? If you do what he says?
Do you usually use the parameter manually manage to load songs on the iPhone (drag and drop the songs on iPhone in iTunes)? Or do you use the Sync music setting so that iTunes automatically sync your library iTunes music (or a selected part of it) for your iPhone?

Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open
Media Center will not sync music!
I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing. Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.
As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.
Thank you
Shay

BlackBerry smartphones can not sync music
Try to sync music (tried several times) and get the following error message:
Sync error
Some files (actiually all files) were not synchronized. There is not enough space or BlackBerry device has been disconnected.
It fails try in the first file (takes a few minutes for the error message is displayed) and there is plenty of space for music I have chosen and the legacy was not disconnected.
What I am doing wrong?
Thank you, Bob
Welcome to the forums, Bob!
I haven't used the synchronization of music before, but it sounds almost as if you have set it to sync music to your device memory and not the media card. Please check this setting.
I assume here that you have a memory card in the device.
In addition, you might want to consider just drag / drop music from your PC to record music from your media card. Then you know quite clearly what kind of music you do and where you place it.

Friends of music somehow got synced my phone. Never, I plugged my phone into his cell phone, so this is very strange. Now when I try to sync music from my laptop to iTunes on my iPhone, as I have done a million times before, it will not be synchronized. I need to get my phone to sync with my laptop and my music again as soon as possible
You use the same Apple ID? What happens when you try to sync music from your laptop to your iPhone? You receive an error? It would be the only explanation as to why you are unable to synchronize with your laptop.

iTunes can't sync music only after that I have change my id
iTunes can't sync music only after that I have change my ID?
Hi there Mehta_pooja90,
Welcome to Apple Support communities.
As I understand it, there is a problem syncing of music on your iPhone from iTunes on your PC after changing your Apple ID in iTunes.
Can you still play the songs that aren't able to sync in iTunes on your PC? If iTunes is not allowed to play the tracks, then you will not be able to synchronize the songs to your device. Try allowing the computer with the account that was used to buy the pieces as shown here:
Allow your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
The article below provides a lot of information on what to do after changing your Apple ID.
What to do when you have changed your Apple ID email address or password - Apple support
Take care.

I am trying to sync music on my ipod and it is compatible but my media player has not listed it as a timing device. It is recognized in the computer and peripheral but not in media player. Help, please
Hello
I suggest you follow the steps below to synchronize your Ipod Nano with Windows Media Player 11.
1. start Windows Vista. You need to have administrator privileges in order to synchronize your iPod, only access to the shared folder on the computer (by default, every account has access to the shared folder).
2. connect your iPod to your computer using the supplied USB cable. If your iPod has not already been recognized as a device in the system, recognition will be held at the moment (requiring the installation of the drivers and software components that are necessary in order to recognize your iPod).
3. place the music files you want to synchronize with your iPod in the shared folder. You can also place your music in a folder within the shared folder (for example, a 'My music' folder).
4. open Sync Center by clicking on the "Start" menu followed by "All programs", "Accessories", then "Sync Center".
5 set up a calendar for your iPod to be synchronized or simply choose "Sync" in the file menu to start a manual synchronization. This will automatically update your iPod with the latest music from the shared folder.
6. sync your iPod by using a double sync method, which will avoid any loss of data on the iPod as well as download the music from your iPod to your Sync Center, you can listen on your computer as well.
If you want to synchronize the Ipod Nano with iTunes, you can follow the instructions as shown in the link below.

Original title: can not sync music to any Windows Media Player memory card
This has not happened before, but now, whenever I want to sync music to any memory card, it does not work. It makes the whole process, and it did as it syncs, but at the end of that music just does not appear in the memory card. If I go to the status of the synchronization, all songs appear with a RED x next and it says that Windows has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device. How can I fix it? as I said before, this has not happened before.
