Sync Does Not Transfer All Songs By Artist

I am trying to sync my iPhone 3G with my music library... all of the songs transfer for all of the artists selected except for 1 artist. For this artist only 1 full album and 1 song from the second album transfers. Can someone help?
The following settings are selected:
On Main Tab:
- The "sync only checked files" is checked.
- The "manage music/videos manually" is not checked.
On Music Tab:
- "Selected Playlists, Artists and Genres" is selected
- "Include Videos" and "Include Voice Memos" are both selected
- The artists I want to have transferred, including artist in question, are checked
- All songs are checked in iTunes library
So, all of the songs for all of the artists transferred except for 8 (of 9) songs from this 1 artist's second album.
I am running Windows 7 and iTunes 9.0 - (9.1 was making my PC crash for some reason.)
Thanks!

My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.

Ipod does not transfer all songs from itunes

I have the 80g ipod classic. I have 16,000 songs on itunes. when i go to setting on ipod and go to about it shows that i am missing 13 songs. for a while i was missing 5 songs then 9 songs and now 13.yes i still have room on my ipod for music. I do not have a clue what songs are not being transferred to my ipod. what is causing this and what is the solution.

yea i guess that could be possable. i guess with 16,000 songs and only 13 did not transfer to ipod i should be happy but this is mac not windows so i would like to think the soft ware would work without flaws.. as for all my dupes i put over 1500 cds in my itunes library. a lot of the cds were various artists etc. that is y i have so many dupes. my imac has a 500g hard drive so i have plenty of space left on my hard drive. i have 2 external hard drives where my music is backed up.i have a 1terrabit lacie that i just use for time machine and a 500g lacie to back up my music and other stuff. iwould never trust my music to be backed up on only 1 external hard drive. if it died my music would be gone forever. thats y i use 2 external hard drives

Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
Hope you get it solved mate!

"Shuffle" does not play all songs

I have the original iphone that I have had very good luck with. Lately, I've noticed that when using the shuffle feature of the ipod, it only plays some of my songs - for instance, I have 344 songs, but only 316 are playing in shuffle mode. When I take it out of shuffle mode, the little number changes to the actual number of songs I have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? The songs being left out are the songs most recently downloaded.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
- 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
- 256 have been played less than 3 times
- 129 have been played less than 7 times.
- Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
If you find a solution, please let me know

Shuffle does not play all songs in the library

When I try to transfer pictures from droid to Mac it does not transfer all videos

Not only have a ton of pictures just disappeared but when I try to copy all the pictures to my Mac it misses a bunch of videos. I don't know why.
This droid has a mind of it's own and has deleted a ton of pictures. Nothing helps. I just want to know why some of my videos are not being copied.

Hello,
I want to help you, I just need some further information. From previous posts I see you have an Incredible 2, is that correct? When you open the phone's hard drive on the computer, does it see all the videos on the phone? Are these all videos that were taken on the phone itself or downloaded from a different source?
If you haven't already, I would suggest transferring each video manually. You can also try using V Cast Media Manager to transfer the files. Here is the link to get the software: http://products.verizonwireless.com/index.aspx?id=fnd_mediaManager. Click on download desktop app, then choose Mac.
If you need any further assistance, let us know.

Library- Music does not show all songs, some are in playlists?

I just discovered (the hard way) that my Music 'directory' (the first item under Library on the left pane) is not showing all the songs I have installed. I have several playlists that list and play songs not in the main library.
How do I fix this? Is it possible to preserve all my playlists in the process?
iTunes 8.2

I think I have it resolved although I am not 100% confident of that. All I did was drag them back in to iTunes from the iTunes folder and skip the dupes.
I am missing a bunch of songs, and a quick check of my hard drive does not turn them up either. This is stuff I would not have deleted. Really mysterious. Unnerving too.

5th gen ipod not showing all songs for artists....

I just updated to 1.1 about a week ago, so i am not sure if this issue was present in 1.0 or not.
when looking at the artist list on my ipod, i noticed that if I go into a artist and that artist has only one album listed, it goes directly into that album list. Therefore not showing your other songs that you may have by the same artist because dont have the album name. Has anyone else had this issue??

IPod Will not Transfer all Songs to iTunes

The iPod would only transfer some songs to iTunes when I pressed the tranfer purchases button. I lost alot of songs that I can't get back. This is very frustrating!!! Any help?

so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library? since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct? So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer." Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct? while having the others on there that wont transfer?

Ipod does not import all songs in itunes

Does anyone know why when I plug in my ipod it will import a few of the songs then a message pops up that says attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to, please help!!!

Another thing to be aware of is what format your files are in. If you have an Ipod Photo like mine it won't play .mp4 file format so when I first got my ipod it would only load the first 70 some songs, those songs were already .m4a, then it would give the same error message you discribed. I thought my ipod was hosed until I finally went through with a program I got of the internet that was a file extention converter tool and renamed all my files from .mp4 to .m4a then everything worked fine.

Ipod does not display all songs correctly

Some of the songs on my ipod and displayed correctly and work fine while some others do not. For example, when I search for music under the artist section of my ipod it might say an artist has only one song when in reality their are ten songs by that artist on the pod. The only way to acess the other nine songs on the ipod is to go to music then select them through SONG. Everything is updated, and i even rebooted my ipod and reinstalled all the files. This is the second ipod i have had trouble with and this one is brand new. ***

Sync does not transfer menu and toolbar customization to newly-installed copies of Firefox.

Sync's been working pretty well for me...except for, well, syncing most of the GUI. Every single time I reinstall Firefox - which is very frequently, sometimes - I have to click 'Customize', remove *every single icon* from the menu, display the bookmarks toolbar, drag the bookmarks toolbar items to where I always keep them. I have to close the bookmarks toolbar again, and then move all of the icons and the home button from the navigation bar to where I keep all of those. Then I have to remove the search bar from the navigation bar, because I never leave the search bar there.
This happens *every single time* I reinstall Firefox.
It is a lot of work, it is tedious, and I've done it at least four times this week alone. This really shouldn't be happening. I never had to deal with this kind of thing when using Chrome - their sync function works exactly as you'd expect it to.
I prefer Firefox for a few reasons, but if this isn't resolved, I might have to switch back. A sync function that only syncs half of what it should is not a useful sync function at all. I should be able to log in, wait a minute or two for it to download my data, and then I should be presented with the browser set up exactly as I left it.
I should not be presented with a horrendous mixture of my settings and the defaults that bleeds over into my other computers. Oh, did I not mention that part? Many times, when I log into my sync account on a new installation, the default bookmarks that get shoved in with the rest of my bookmarks GET SYNCED TO MY ACCOUNT AND TRANSFERRED TO MY OTHER COMPUTERS.
I'm then forced to delete all of them a few *more* times.
Please tell me there's a solution to this.
edit: Also, search settings are never transferred. That's another thing I'd like to be able to stop having to change every time.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Please add: services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state and make it a boolean and mark it as true.

HT201269 How can I backup all my email messages from my ipad2 to my mac. iTunes does not transfer all the sent / received mail.

Hi,
I damaged my ipad and saved a backup using iTunes while it was away for repair.
I used another ipad while it was away, but none of my email messages sent or received had been saved.
How do I backup my email ?

hi, not totally, as when the N8 died, the shop here in France couldn't really do much to help and more like didn't want to do much to help, and transferred what data was available from the sim to the mini sim on the apple. Now looking in depth, Windows Contact is an 'orrible application that is not very easy to handle (Windows Address Book is no longer available for anything above Vista and is all tied into Windows Live and things to do with Hotmail and Messenger..... Gatesy is trying to dominate things again..... WOZ HELP!!)
Sony have worked alongside Apple for a long time, so with a new 12/2012 Experia smartphone, the transfer details are a doddle, but now that Nokia has succombed to being part of the Dark Side (MS) and offering windows phones only, I can understand the retiscence of our late leader and his "heavenly crew" of having to deal with the Dark Side

Sync does not copy all contact data from Outlook 2003 to iPhone

I tried syncing my outlook 2003 to iphone. However the data information in outlook such as Work2 / Home2 / Fax 2 , E-mail 2 / etc; & other secondary numbers don't get copied on the iphone. Is there a patch or some other solution to fix this problem.
Also if we enter multiple home or office numbers in a contact in iphone how will outlook react to it.
I am using itunes 7.6.1.

Well lots of writing on the web but i beleive i nailed the problem. Please spread the word further, the solution is (or actually the bug in Sync of iTunes :))
When iTunes developers select which contacts folder to synchronize they do not choose by what Outlook considers to be the main folder, what they do is they sort the list of folders alphabetically and then read the contacs from whichever folder comes first in that sorted list. So make sure that any other contact folder is named with a name that will be sorted out and go in the list after your main contact folder.
Mr. Jobs, i am actually happy to see apple doing this trivial childish mistakes, it means you are still mortal, i was starting to get frightened that apple is helped by mighty forces to us mortals still unknown
