Some songs won't sync from iTunes to iPhone

Ok, so I have had the 4S for some time now, and I am really beginning to be frustrated with the fact I can't sync all of my music. It's almost as if anything I purchased prior to getting the 4s (had 3GS prior) will not transfer over. I have tried syncing all music, removing everything, restoring, and nothing works. iTunes allows me to play the music, and it syncs fine with my iPod with no issues. No matter what I try about 200 of the 500 songs I am trying to sync are actually on my iPohone, yet all of them are on the iPod just fine. I have plenty of room on the iPhone, and I receive no errors (even reset warnings just in case it was something I previously shut off) when trying to sync to indicate they won't be there. In fact the "Capacity" bar shows the space it should take up, then after I sync and go back the space is cut in half.
No one has been able to help, can anyone please help! The songs its deciding not to include are some of my favorite...to the point I bought two of them a second time

If these earlier songs were purchased with a different Apple ID, you might try on your phone going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using this earlier ID. Do the same with iTunes on your computer (signing into the iTunes store with this earlier ID). For good measure, restart your computer and your phone, then try syncing the music to see if it will transfer now. If it does, you can to back and reset your Apple IDs the way they were before.

Music won't download from itunes to iphone

Hiya,
I have purchased music from Itunes App on my iPhone (4S with iOS7 update) and now it won't download to my music without being connected to the computer. There are no restrictions to my data usage, iCloud is correctly signed in. I have no trouble downloading other apps or books; only music. Can anyone help me fix it please? (Obviously I could just plug my phone into the computer and do it that way but I'd like to be able to download without doing so)
Thanks in advance,

I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to after update

After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
No difference if wire or wifi.
My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
Anybody see similare issues?

YES! Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all. Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi. My mac won't recognize my iphone at all. Doesn't even show up in finder. Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

Albums won't sync from iTunes to iPhone

When I try to click on specific albums in my iTunes that I want to download into my iPhone 5, my phone will look like it is syncing and then I will check and none of the changes I made are on my phone! I am using a new computer, but I transferred all of my data from my old laptop to this new one, so I don't think that should be an issue.

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Certain albums in music libary won't sync from iTunes to iPhone 4s

Had an iphone 4 which worked perfectly. Phone decided to go for a swim and passed away.
Majority of apps, settings etc and music libary restored on an old iPhone 3S, but some music albums did not syncronice, majority synced without any problem.
Tried various hints like creating new playlists in itunes and syncing with phone without any success.
Put issue on hold pending arrival on new iPhone 4S.
4S arrived and same issue.
The albums are purchased via iTunes.
Albums exist in iTunes music libary, can be played in iTunes on PC.
Have tried to remove all music from iPhone, and just selecting the albums which are a problem, and as well creating new playlists to be synced, without any success.
When sync is attempted an error message occurs on the phone, stating that there are problems syncing the number of tracks in question, and "check itunes from more information".
There are no information about any sync issues in itunes.
Any ideas?

If these earlier songs were purchased with a different Apple ID, you might try on your phone going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using this earlier ID. Do the same with iTunes on your computer (signing into the iTunes store with this earlier ID). For good measure, restart your computer and your phone, then try syncing the music to see if it will transfer now. If it does, you can to back and reset your Apple IDs the way they were before.

Certain songs won't sync from itunes to iphone

WHAT IS GOING ON? on my iTunes' it says that the playlist I created has this one song on it. Under the iphone4 tab it also says that the song is in the playlist. If it's showing up in both lists, why is it not showing up on my iphone when i sync? PLEASE HELP!

I just had the same problem and this worked: make sure you have the current version of I tunes on your computer then plug your phone in to the computer - click on the button at the top right to select your phone, and under options select 'sync only checked songs...' Then sync again...

My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not. Current software on Mac and iPod.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

Itunes will only allow sync from itunes to iphone

purchased new macbook pro want to sync my iphone library to this computer itunes only allows sync from library to iphone there is nothing in library on new machine
i have a pc in office that i use and have been syncing there

This is true and is the way the iphone is intended to be used. It is not a backup device.
You should move your music from the old computer to the new one first then sync. You should have a backup of all of your music/pics/docs/etc. Use this to transfer the music, or the Apple Store will do ti for you, or you can call Apple Support and they will help you.
The iphone will sync to ONE computer at a time. When you sync to another it will erase the media from the iphone and replace with the content from the new computer.

My music won't sync from computer to ipod

My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

1 song won't sync from itunes to my iphone

Ok, long story short. Today in the car I went to play a song and it started half way thru the song, then when I started the song from the beginning, it skipped to the next song half way thru. So I came home and deleted the song, and imported it again. It it in my itunes library, along with my music folder on my macbook, but when I try to sync it to my iphone.....nothing!! It doesnt sync or anything. Any suggestions?? I tried to change the format, and import it again, now I'm lost.....

go to the app store on your phone and purchase the app again on your phone... a box will come up saying that you have already purchased the app and if you would like to download it click ok
then it will download and install on your phone

Cannot add music or old apps from iTunes to iPhone 5

Any tips? On iTunes it has all of my previous settings from my iPhone 4 but I cannot update my iPhone 5 with my old apps or add any music to my device. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think I've got the same problem:
- I can download Apps to Itunes
- I can download Apps from my Iphone
- I can sync my Iphone, but none of the Apps will transfer from my Itunes to my Iphone.
- My computer is authorized
- Restrictions on my Iphone are disabled
- The Apps are checked under the Applications tab
- I used to be able to sync Apps from my Itunes to my Iphone
- If I uncheck an App and Sync it removes the App from my Iphone, and when I check and sync it again, it will not move the App back on my Iphone
- Updates won't sync either
- I get no error message or anything, it just does what it should do but 'skips' syncing the Apps
- As far as I know it happened suddenly (without me unchecking stuff or clicking on things that might have disabled it)
- I am not able to find a solution on the internet.
I hope this might help :]

Apps won't sync from itunes to ipod

Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me with a frustrating problem!
As it stands I can download apps (via my ipod) and use them with no problems. However, I cannot sync ANY apps currently stored on my computer to my ipod. Ipod + itunes are both up to date, settings are the same as they always have been (working with no problems for the last year), music and video syncs fine.
If I remove an app from my ipod I cannot put it back on....all relevent boxes are ticked but apps won't appear in the ipod screen viewer within itunes.
Any help would be great thanks.

Have you reset your iPod and rebooted your computer?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
