Purchased Songs from iTunes will no longer sync to iPhone 4s.. any help on this ?

. All that music is in Music library on iTunes and plays well has been purchased with the same Apple id. On Windows -7, iTunes 10.5.
. Under previous purchased icon on iTunes all music shows downloaded.
. Unchecked music Sync from iTunes > removed all songs from the phone.
. Tried syncing manually just 1 song and got the same error "1 item could not be synced check iTunes for explanation " and there is no message on iTunes.
. We deleted all the Songs from iTunes and now re-adding.
. If this does not work then I will be testing with re-creating a new Library and testing in a new user account..
Does anyone have a better idea...?

Hi firmflange,
That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

TS2818 I have purchased songs from iTunes and when I sync with my Ipad only some are imported....then it says contact Itunes as to why your songs are not being synced.

I have purchased many songs on Itunes and then I sync to my Ipad. Then it tells me so many songs cannot be synced. Why? I also attach my connection and it is now saying this iphone is not connected when it is an Ipad connected to my MacBook Air. I also think that when you have an account with Apple they should honour your email to all your music and not just your laptop as I now have to use my old laptop which is about to die so what happens then.

What is the exact wording of the error message?
Were all songs purchased by the same iTunes account?
What did iTunes say when you contacted them?

My newly purchased songs from itunes skip on my imovie.... Help please!

The music I have on itunes from my ipod play just fine, but when I purchase a new song from itunes and try to add it, the playback skips (video also). I'm trying to make a small video from wedding photos. Everything is finished except the audio. I would use other music except I don't have wedding appropriate songs... Please help if you can. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing.

Hi Ballfanjt and welcome!
It's all to do with DRM copy protection. In order for your audio from iTunes to work correctly in iMovie, you need to burn the track/s to a CD, then re-import from that CD into iTunes, save as an AIFF file, then they will import perfectly into iMovie.

Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s. I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s. I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes. Here's what happens:
I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR. Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped. Has anybody else encounted this problem??

Purchased songs from itunes will not load on iPod despite software updates.

When I attach my ipod to my computer i get this error message.
"Some of the songs in the itunes music library were not copied to your ipod because the software on your iPod is too old. Go to apple.com/downloads to get the latest iPod software. "
I have gone to apple and downloaded the 11-17 iPod updated and i still get this error messege. The song that will not copy are only the ones purchased from iTunes.
(i am using an older 10g ipod, purchased in December 03. The model number is A1040)
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I am also having the same problem with IPod Mini(6G). I purchased it September 2005.
The only thing different was that I needed to change my credit card information. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Getting my old purchased songs from iTunes on my ipad to my iPhone.

On my purchased list of songs, there are only three or four songs that have the icloud symbol beside them. So I can't get the other songs onto my iPhone from my ipad. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Are you looking on your iPhone in the iTunes app by tapping More at the bottom, then Music>Purchased>Not on This iPhone (at the top)?

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

I have purchased song from iTunes that I have in my iPad. I would like to transfer them onto my iPod. I use to have a laptop and could do it but do not have it any longer due to the fact I now have a iPad. Please help

I do I transfer songs for my purchased songs from iTunes into my iPad. I no longer have a laptop but have a iPad I I see my purchased songs in the IPad but do not know how to transfer them to the iPod. Please help.

If you have an iPod Touch running iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download the songs in the purchased tab of iTunes on the iPod.

I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop. But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now. Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore? I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help. I really, really appreciate it.

I activated a new device for my ipod. I can not figure out how to sync newly purchased songs from iTunes onto my iPod.

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.
