Apple TV didn't sync all music

I just got a 160GB ATV and set it to sync my entire music collection (7188 songs, 49.27GB from iTunes). This went pretty well though not quite everything has synchronized. The ATV shows 7175 songs, 49.20GB.
Is there any way to easily check which songs are missing and why they didn't copy across?

I also recently purchased a ATV. Mine also did not sync all media the first time. I did notice the exclamation point mentioned previously. The solution to my problem was to deauthorize the computer and then reauthorize it. I found a post somewhere that stated even though it was authorized it lost the ability to verify it was authorized. After doing this it synced the remainder of my media. Hope this helps.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • HT1386 not syncing all music

    some purchases are not syncing to my ipod touch.  

    Assuming they all play in iTunes on the computer all I can suggest is the standard fixes:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Think I erased my ipod by clicking "sync all music & video" now more probs

    Hi all...I clicked on "sync all music & video" within itunes & I watched in horror as my 1000+ songs were erased as well as video. Is there a way to retrieve my music & video from my pc? I checked the itunes folder & all that was there were podcasts. Didn't see anything in recycle bin.
    I have accepted that I may be SOL so I uninstalled itunes but now I can't add music from my pc to ipod.
    In itunes I see my ipod listed but I cannot create a new playlist under my ipod name the way I use to. I use to be able to create playlist under my ipod then drag folder of mp3's to that playlist. But now I can't. I did manage to add a cd to my ipod but after sync...the tracks are greyed out & not selectable. I cannot manually select them & do anything like delete etc. What have I done? I don't even see the restore option in itunes to restore back to factory settings & I did the itunes upgrade.
    Thanks Folks!

    Scratch the part about not being able to restore to factory settings. I just did that. I'm about to see if this helped as far as adding music.

  • IPod won't sync all music to iTunes

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro and needed to transfer over all of my music on iTunes from my old laptop. My iPod Touch has enough space to hold my entire iTunes library, so I synced it with the iTunes library on my old laptop, got everything onto it, and then synced it with my new Macbook Pro.
    However, the iTunes on my Mac refuses to sync any music from my iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store at some point. 75% of my music is from CDs and so 75% of my music will not transfer from my iPod to my iTunes.
    I can't adjust anything on the tab on iTunes for syncing all music/entire library because I get a message saying if I do this all of the content on my iPod will be erased and replaced with what is currently in iTunes, which is barely anything.
    All I've ever done is fought with iTunes every single time I try to do anything significant with it and I'm sick of it. I don't understand why iTunes won't simply take all the music from my iPod and put it into the library. That's all I want.
    Please, can anyone help me with this?

    OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.
    If your music won't download from iTunes to your iPod because it is not 'authorised' see if this helps.
    Go to the album or song that is not 'authorising'. Select it and push play. It should ask you for authorisation or a username and password. Put in your username and password, it should then go to iTunes store and it will now be authorised.
    Be careful not to make the same mistake that I made and have multiple iTunes Store accounts. Mainly because I think it creates these problems on transfer of your library and secondly because you may not remember the password. If you forget the password, then simply get iTunes store to resend it. The only problem may be if your email account no longer exists. Mine does, so not sure what happens if it doesn't.
    This in itself may not fix the problem either. I noticed on the left hand side of the music library, met to the song names etc, the '!" symbol in the column. This will also prevent it copying to your iPod. I am not technical, but it seems it lost the file path in transfer. Just double click the song and it will ask you if you want to find the path. Click yes and then search through iTunes library until you find the song. Double click the song and bingo you should now be able to transfer the music.
    It took less time for me to finish by Business Degree, but its the only way I found to get around all the authorisation problems
    Hope this helps

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

  • HT1296 how do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

    How do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

    Connect the iPod and sync with iTunes the same way that you sync any iDevice with iTunes. If you are trying to transfer the music on the iPod into iTunes on the computer - connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under the devices headings and select transfer purchases. That will transfer the purchase songs on your iPod into your iTunes library.
    If you provide a few more details of what you actually are trying to do, it would be a little easier to provide you with the help that you seek.

  • Ipod shuffle syncs all music but only plays-back MPEG audio

    My iPod shuffle syncs all the music I specify but will not play-back AAC files!!  It will only play-back MPEG audio files. Is anyone else having the same issue?  Have restored it numerous times and tried fewer files / more files but no joy.  The voiceover just says "please sync with iTunes"

    Hi MattG-Eastbourne,

  • Trouble syncing all music

    I'm using Windows Vista. I've done the newest update and my iphone5 has the new iOS 7 software. For whatever reason I can no longer sync all of my music to my phone. I dont want to sync certain songs or artists or playlists. I want EVERYTHING...with the exception of music videos. I made sure I checked sync entire music library and unchecked music videos. It's not set to manually manage songs. For whatever reason, I'm only getting some things. I even went into my music library and made sure that everything I wanted on my phone had a check mark beside it. When that didn't work, I went into the settings and told it to sync everything even if it didn't have a check mark. Still it only syncs what it wants. I'm sure i'm missing something so simple and right in front of my face. I just can't find it. I'm about to lose my mind!
    Please somebody help me out before I throw a tantrum worthy of a 2 year old.
    Thank you.

    You said you "tried to resotre my ipod as well still no luck." Was the restore successful?
    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           

  • Cannot sync all music to iphone 5

    On my new iphone 5, all the songs in the playlist do not sync, only the ones purchased that have a check next to them.  The other songs will not allow me to check the boxes - how do I get the entire playlists to sync?

    I have had this problem.  Many posts on the forum, I have spent hours trying to fix this with those suggestions and no luck.  Thought apple might get their act together in 8.1.1 update but I have not heard of that fixing this issue.
    Temporary fix is to uncheck the sync of music on iTunes and sync your phone so that all music should be off...then go to the Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage (Under storage tab not iCloud)>Music then Edit and delete all songs.  For some reason there are often songs remaining on your phone even when you have told iTunes not to sync music.  Be aware some of these syncs can take hours.
    At that point your music app should show no music.
    I have turned off iCloud sync and iTunes match (not sure if that was necessary.)
    Go back to iTunes and sync the music you want by checking playlists, etc. (This takes at least 2 hours for my phone given the amount of music I have)
    ***The key after doing this is not so sync your phone again.  This stinks because you are not backing up but every time I sync my phone to iTunes after getting the music back on initially it has messed up the music files and some music starts to disappear.  I have (every several weeks) done the above process just to have a valid backup.
    I am VERY frustrated.  Forget my iPhone 6+ bending, this issues and the time spent is almost enough for me to leave the iPhone...despite having iMac, Macbook pro, apple TV, iPads...

  • I can't sync all music to ipod classic. shows fault -69 or sometimes -50

    I seem to have problem with my ipod classic. It started when i ejected from itunes when it was still syncing and all the files on ipod vanished. After that I couldn't sync at all & couldn't restore. I've updated the Itunes and restored the ipod so it works but it doesn't sync all the music, neither whole playlist it just picks some tracks.
    The communications shows it cannot find some files with error -69 or -50 does anyone know what this could mean??? after that it stops syncing.
    P.S. I've not moved the music anywhere and the itunes plays everything, what can i do?
    Thank you in advamce for help.
    Joanna

    Error -50 is a connection timeout, when iTunes is trying to transfer huge number of songs to your iPod, see this support link.
    It maybe cause by your Antivirus. So if you want to sync safely, disconnect your PC from the Internet, Stop your Antivirus
    I would suggest that you split your songs into several playlist of 1000 songs, and sync 1 playlist at a time.
    if that doesn't help, then check out this link.

  • IPhone not syncing all music

    I recently got iTunes Match and don't understand why I can't have it enabled and sync all of the selected music I wanted. All of my music appears to be availible in the cloud as I have the option to download on my phone over WiFi which would take forever. I have tried manually syncing my music and I selected all of my playlists and only ten or less songs are syncing to the phone after sync is "completed." I have tried this with iTunes Match on and off on my phone. I'm frustrated because I got an iPhone so that this process would be easy. Any help would be appreciated.

    Called Apple, somehow most of the songs on my iTunes got "unchecked" and only the few "checked" songs that were left were syncing onto my iPhone.

  • Ipod No Longer Syncs All Music

    I have a 160gig Classic that i purcahse about 8 months ago. Up until about 2 weeks ago it was working fine under the automatic sync setup. Recently i added 4 or 5 albums to my iTunes however when it started to sync it popped up with quite a few messages that say 'these songs could not be synced', the ipod then took forever to sync, practically all night and once completed, it then wouldnt eject as it was 'still syncing'. When it finally did eject itself it only had copied across 900 of my 15 000 songs, it copied no videos either. I have restored the ipod a few times and started from scratch but the same thing happens, is there something wrong with my files? I set it up on manual and it was fine, however i only copied a couple of hundred across as i dont particularly want to manually manage 160 gb of files. My files are kept on an external hard drive if that could be a factor?? Is anyone having this problem, or had it?? Maybe my ipod is broken, not sure but would love to get it all synced up again like it was.
    Thanks, mitch
