After spending hours figuring out a fix for 43 GB of mysterious \u201cother\u201d on my iPhone<\/a>\u00a0a few months ago, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that I ran into yet another problem syncing my iPhone and iTunes.<\/p>\n

This time, the problem is with an iPhone 6 running iOS 8, and iTunes 111<\/a><\/sup>. \u00a0I’ve got over 60GB of music on my iPhone. \u00a0One afternoon earlier this week, I noticed that after syncing my iPhone, all of my album artwork was missing. \u00a0I’ve got album artwork for everything in iTunes, and it was quite annoying to have it go missing. \u00a0I tried the basic fix, which was re-syncing the iPhone. \u00a0That didn’t work: my iPhone still didn’t have any album artwork.<\/p>\n

Next, I decided that I would try to delete the music from my iPhone, and then re-add it. \u00a0That didn’t work. \u00a0I connected my iPhone to my Mac, unchecked “sync Music”, and then clicked the “Sync” button. \u00a0I let it go for 3 hours, and it seemed stuck. \u00a0In the Music app on my iPhone, the list of songs was constantly updating, but nothing was actually getting deleted. \u00a0So I cancelled the operation, then tried to sync again. \u00a0When I did that, I discovered that I had 60GB of “other” on my iPhone.<\/p>\n

At least I’ve been here before. \u00a0I tried rebooting the phone, and that didn’t make a difference. \u00a0I did the same thing as last time: erased the phone and let iTunes restore it. \u00a0This time, the mysterious “other” was missing. \u00a0Of course, the sync stalled again. \u00a0I let it go for about 20 minutes before pulling the plug and restarting the sync. \u00a0On the second sync, I had a functional iPhone, but no music. \u00a0I re-checked “Sync Music”, and started yet another sync. \u00a0A couple of hours later, my iPhone had its artwork back.<\/p>\n

All told, I lost a whole evening to this. \u00a0Come on, iTunes. \u00a0Get it together.<\/p>\n

  1. Yes, I haven’t updated to iTunes 12. It’s so unusable, and it’s not like I have a lot of confidence that the problems that I experience are any better. ↩<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
