1000  songs on sync iTunes, but only 40+ shows up on phone

I just updated the iOS 8.2
Then I just added more songs after the update, so in total its about 1100+ songs. Then the next day I'm ready to go out for a walk, and only 40 of these songs showed up. But when I sync on the iTunes it shows I have all the 1100 songs on my phone, but they dont show up. This has happened before but the difference was all the songs were gone from my phone, but not on iTunes.
I hate iTunes for that. Every update it's a disaster...

When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
Restore the chosen backup.
In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

    How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

  • I have 1661 songs in laptop iTunes but only 1660 on iPhone after syncing. How can I easily identify the song that did not sync?

    Is there an easy way to identify which song did not sync correctly?
    I have performed a sync three times and problem remains.
    Thank you.

    One thing that comes to mind would be if you have a music video and your iPhone isn't setup to sync videos.
    You also may have one streaming item in your library that would not be synced to your iPhone.
    You can try making a smart playlist where Media Kind is Music Video, or Kind contains Stream.
    There are a few other instances where this might happen, but I would start by looking for these.

  • Song "plays" in iTunes but only a moment of sound via Airtunes

    I am using iTunes 8.0.2. I am using the airport express as airtunes v. 6.3. When I select my airtunes speakers in iTunes and play the song, I get a split second of audio and then complete silence. iTunes continues to play the song (you can see the tracker moving and the time ticking down. However, there is no more audio. My firewall is configured to allows iTunes. I never had this problem until recently. I have not changed any settings on my router.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have exactly the same problem for some time now. (since upgrading to iTunes 8). Installed all latest updates, have my airport exchanged, tried all things with firewall, ip v6 settings etc. but still no results.
    Using a ping command (via terminal) to my airport I can see that the ping goes up from normal to thousands of milliseconds thus indicating network congestion of some kind.
    Rollback to a previous version of iTunes is not an option because I also use it to sync my iPhone.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Hi! I have a library of around 1000 songs on my iTunes, I recently synced my phone and all was lost, my partner has the same songs on hers with a different sign in, but not backed up anywhere, any suggestion on how I can store her tunes in my account ???

    Hi! I have a library of around 1000 songs on my iTunes, I recently synced my phone and all was lost, my partner has the same songs on hers with a different sign in, but not backed up anywhere, any suggestion on how I can store her tunes in my account ??? Then sync them to mine? When I sign her phone into her account I get a message warning that if I sync the dogs on her phone will be replaced by the ones in the library! But as there are no songs there I'm reluctant to continue!!! Please help this non techi guy.!!!!!

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    I just bought a new CD and I imported the songs to my iTunes but when I want to sync them to my IPod they wont sync? Why is this?

    Did you copy your files to her computer?
    This is what you need to do.
    I need her files off of my computer, but do not want to delete anything of hers.
    No idea what this means?

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Got a new pc with Win7,and want to sync iTunes,but getting the different pc warning.I have a copies of music

    Sorry for the poor grammar and spelling, but was trying to get in my question in the limited character window.. The how to link that most folks get sent to http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 , say's I need to create at least 1 contact in Outlook or Windows address book, which I don't have..How can I do this without the hassle that I've gone throught before of having to restore from iCloud and fixing all my settings, contacts, etc. Everything is backed up iCloud and I got all the data from my Apps and copied it into new folders..I've already 'synced' my phone with iTunes, but only the Apps..Once I go to manally change music, tones,or pics I get the big warning erase and replace message..I have copies of all my music, tones, and pics..I know I'm repeating myself, but my question is the same, but just not able to create any contacts to make iTunes happy, and don't see the option of making a backup copy of what's on the phone..I've already backed it up to iTunes..I have an iPhone5 and just downloaded the latest version of iTunes..Still backing up to iCloud, but want both options. What should I do? Thanks....jc

    Sorry for bmping as I don't usualy do this, but after 3 days and no asnwers I'm surprised no one has responded...I'm sure someone has had the same problem and or one of the many Apple or Microsoft Engineers know or at least have some possible solutions...Otherwise I'm stuck and have to reset the whole library which takes quite a lot of time..Any ideas please fellow users...Thanks..

  • Mp4 files plays both A/V in itunes but only V on ipod classic

    mp4 files plays both A/V in itunes but only V, no sound, on ipod classic

    The same happens to me but slightly diff. It doesn't
    play the song at all. It only skips to the next song
    or returns to the main menu
    I've noticed that only the itunes-purchased songs will not play on my ipod mini, although these same songs work fine in itunes...
    Once an itunes-purchased songs is selected to play in my ipod, the song does not play. Instead, the ipod screen defaults back to the main menu.
    I've downloaded all the lastest upgrades, performed the 5Rs, deauthorized, reauthorized, unistalled & reinstalled software, checked for a complete download of songs in my purchase history, and also played the purchased songs in itunes.

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library
