Some music will not transfer

I upgraded  from 4s to 5s. For backup and restore I used itunes on a new mac that I had never synced my 4s to before. There are songs on my 4s that will not transfer to the mac and therefore not to my 5s. Some of these are songs that had ripped from a CD on to an old computer then transferred over to my 4s if that makes a difference. How do I get those songs off my 4s and onto my 5s???

Locate these tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose Get Info from the menu.  When the window comes up, head over to Info tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "part of a compilation."  Then if necessary sync the updated changes to your iPod.
You can see how your iPod is cnofigured to sync your music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes.

  • Some music will not transfer from itunes to ipod

    I noticed the other day that one album consisting of 5 songs that's in ITunes is not on my IPod Nano.. These are the only songs that I'm aware of.The songs play on Itunes, the box next to the songs is checked and syncing does nothing. They were on there at one time.
    Thanks,

  • When I add music from my CD onto my Macbook, the music will not transfer from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone/iPad.  I'm using iCloud, current software updates and Music Match. Any solutions?

  • Music will not transfer from Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to iPhone via cloud

    Music will not transfer from my Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to my iPhone except for music purchased through iTunes. Hard sync doesn't seems to work as I use iCloud. Suggestions?

    Only music purchased from the iTunes store is available to download from iCloud unless you subscribe to iTunes Match.  Also, you can sync music using iTunes on you Mac even if you are using iCloud for syncing your contacts, calendars and other data.

  • HT1386 some music will not sync back to ipod after restoring after update

    i backed up my itunes library to disk prior to updating to OS6 now certain songs will not sync back to ipod even though they were purchased from itunes Help Please

    If the non-syning ones play in iTunes on the coputer:
    Try:

    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.

  • My music will not transfer on to my shuffle?, my music will not transfer on to my shuffle?

    I got a new shuffle and I cant transfer the music on to the shuffle? Can anyone help me?

    Download and install iTunes, if you have not already.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the shuffle in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the shuffle.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle.
    One convenient way to set this up is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put songs that you want on the shuffle on this playlist.  On the shuffle's Music screen in iTunes, select "iPod Songs" under Playlists (and Apply).  Going forward, to update songs on the shuffle, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the shuffle (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the shuffle.
    If you are having a more "basic" issue, such as getting the shuffle to appear in iTunes, please post back.

  • New hard drive and some songs will not transfer from my list in iTunes

    I recently had a new hard drive installed on my computer. After that I purchased a few new songs and plugged in iPod to sync. Then I received message that 27 songs I had previously purchased and had been on my iPod were "items in iTunes not copied to iPod because not authorized to play on this computer." These songs are no longer visible on iPod but 10 or 15 songs are still there that had been there before. How can I get the missing songs onto my iPod again?

    Go to the "Store" menu in your iTunes main window, and drag down to "authorize computer". This lets iTunes know that you're new computer is okay to have access to all previously purchased music.
    Hope this helps...

  • HT1473 music will not transfer

    i have 500 + songs. i have previous playlists. i have made new playlists. i can not get them in the same place. or on my iphone! i cant import/export or "add file" i dont understand. my current list is pulled up in itunes under "on this iphone" okay, now my new list with my new music is just under MUSIC  in itunes. neither one crosses one another. the music thats on one list is not on the other. why cant i get them all together?! what am i missing here? sooo lost! never had this much trouble before!! thanks

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • UGH Music Will not transfer

    I have the latest version of Itunes..I have OS 10.4.10...i activated my iphone, plugged it into the dock and usb to my computer, but I cannot move any of the music from my itunes library onto the phone. It says it is syncing, goes through the sync, but none of the music is transferred or can be dragged onto the phone. Whats the story? Am I missing a step?

    You cannot manually add or remove music/photos/movies. You have to sync these through the use of playlists or albums. That means no drag and drop of individual files or playlists themsleves. And once you turn off the syncing of any of these features, it will erase the contents of your iPhone before you can continue.
    Major shortcoming on this device if you ask me...
