All of a sudden selected songs won't sync to iphone

I've never had a problem syncing my itunes library to my iphone but today when i synced, about 100 songs won't sync and it says "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Song name', were not copied to the iphone "iPhone" because you're not authorized to play them on this computer." What went wrong? How can I fix this?

Sounds like you may have deauthorized your account. Just play one of the problem songs in iTunes, or reauthorize your computer for your iTunes account. Should fix the problem.

Select songs won't sync

Some songs I bought on iTunes won't sync with my iPod nano. I bought the Children of Men soundtrack, and of the 10 songs I picked from the album to upload, only 3 of them will play. The others appear, but when I try to play them, they get skipped over without playing. Anyone had a similiar experience and ideas on how to fix it? Do I need to redownload the songs?

Try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

ITunes "canceling sync," certain songs won't sync to iPhone 4

Despite not making any hardware or software changes, I find myself not being able to sync certain songs to my iPhone 4. The sync process goes through all the steps as usual, and then on the last step, syncing music, after a few songs copy it says "Canceling sync." There is no pop-up error, so I just have to notice when "Canceling sync" shows up for a couple seconds to know that not everything copied that I wanted to.
My music library is on an external hard drive, as it has been for quite a while. The songs that don't sync to the iPhone are from a variety of sources: iTunes purchases, non-iTunes purchases, GarageBand tracks, CD rips. They all play on iTunes. They can be synced to and play on my iPods (a Shuffle and a Classic). I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, resetting the iPhone, ejecting and reconnecting the external hard drive, resetting the computer. Same problem every time.
The missing songs do show up on the iPhone, but they're in grey and can't be played. Most of them used to be on the iPhone and played with no problem. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I had one music that was not syncing to my iPad. The artwork was a picture of me and my daugther (we recorded the music together on a studio).
I can only sync this music after deleting the artwork!
Maybe the artwork file you used for these songs could be the problem. Try change or deleting the artwork of these songs.
Hope it helps!
Regards.

Downloaded song won't sync to iphone, needs to be converted

I bought a song on iTunes and it downloaded to my iTunes, but it won't sync to my iPhone, the message states that the song needs to be converted. How do I do that?
Thanks
Y

Update: seems to not be linked to just a song. Un-syncing any one of apps, songs, etc. creates the error on the last step of the sync. Still no error code, but seems to stem from a copy activity of some sort from a purchase made on the phone. Went away briefly when I sync'd the mac with the 'purchased' list in iTunes.

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

All of a sudden, my iPad won't come on. I can't tell if it is charging. Did the screen die? I had no problems prior to this.

All of a sudden, my iPad won't turn on. I've had no previous problems. I plugged it in last night, at 9%. Took it to work this morning. It worked for a while. Then, I went to check email again, and it wouldn't come on. I hadn't noticed the power status, so I don't know if it didn't take a charge overnight. It's been plugged in again all evening, and still won't turn on. Any suggestions?

It's possible you have a defective charger and you don't have any juice left. The first thing you should try is a reboot: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go o both buttons and hopefully, your iPad will restart. If that doesn't work, it's possible you just don't have a charge left. You can trickle charge your iPad via your computer, it will take a loooong time, but even though it says it's not charging, it is, just verrrry slowly. If that doesn't work, it's probably time to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store. If of course your wall charger isn't charging your device, it could be as simple as replacing the charger.

Was listening to music downloaded on iTunes. All of the sudden one song on the album is not authorized?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser. Bookmarks, history, addons will not be deleted unless you check to do so on uninstall.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.

All of a sudden my keyboard won't type. This happened before and it was just something that I hit accidentally that turned off the keyboard. Can't remember how to fix it. It was very simple, like pressing a couple keys and it worked.

As I suspected, the keys aren't registering to allow you to boot from a CD or switch the startup disk. I am going to assume that you wont be able to reset the pram or do an SMC reset either. You can try anyway...
PRAM reset
hold Option + Command + P + R and press the power button. Hold those keys until you hear the startup chime at least 2 times.
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Safe boot
Hold the shift key whilst rebooting.
You can try these three things, but I'm leaning towards a hardware failure on this as it seems the KB is not functioning even prior to the OS loading.

All of a sudden, my iTunes won't play music.

All of a sudden my iTunes won't play anything in the store or my library. Updates are done and my windows computer is authorized. It has worked fine in the past and then all of a sudden, I click play and nothing plays. I can play music and video in other programs except itunes. Volume is up also. It won't play at all. Any suggestions???

I would suggest first,
looking for the files (not in iTunes but on the desktop. If you find the files they've simply been removed from iTunes. - If you can't find the files they've been erased and there's not a lot that can be done.
Removing files from and iPod is another question. Firstly, it IS difficult, but it can be done. There are numerous tutorials on the web on how to do it.

Peter.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
