Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs
I'm not sure when this problem started, but recently I've noticed that my Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs. Sometimes it stops after only a few songs, or up to as many as 40 - 50. When I'm trying to sync 700 songs, this is a hassle. Any clues?
Are you certain that the syncing actually stops? Does the ATV disappear from iTunes when this happens?
(As I mentioned on another thread, I thought that my syncing was stopping because the ATV was disappearing from iTunes, but I've subsequently learned that the sync does continue, even after the ATV blips out.)

All of my songs don't sync now. I have a new pc which has been "authorized". Some of the stuff syncs fine, others not at all. Some albums sync just a few songs. Can anyone give me a fix or direction?
Do the non-syncing song play i iTunes on the computer?
Is they anything different about the non-syncing songs like where they came from? -
Shuffle "finished syncing" after only adding a few songs
i've tried resetting and restoring the ipod shuffle but when i try to autofill from a playlist, it first cues up the appropriate number of songs to sync (about 270 with down-convert to 128 turned on) but will stop syncing after 5 or so songs have been added. if i turn off the option "replace all songs when autofilling" then i can hit "autofill" and get another 5 or so songs copied (and can repeat this till full)... any suggestions, anyone seen this before?
also, don't know if its relevant but my shuffle has been "stuck" in random for past few months regardless of what the switch is set to. thanks! c.s.Also having the same problem, cues up the songs correctly & then downloads somewhere between 2 & 40. However I have noticed that it only happens when down-converting to 128kbs. It is really annoying though.
Have the same problem on 2 shuffles so I guess that this is a software issue on itunes. The shuffles work fine apart from the syncing issue.
Anyone have any Ideas? -
How do I get music onto my iPhone without having to download it from the Cloud? My iPhone gives the error "sync will resume when "computer" is available" on the final step of synching. The computer says "waiting for changes to be applied" but the phone doesn't have the two little sync arrows anymore. Seems it will stay like that for hours if I don't cancel it. I've tried syncing the songs with the cord & without the cord; using only purchased music or only a few songs. I've restarted both devices & both are updated with the latest software. My phone says it hasn't synced in 5 months, even though I've tried. WiFi is working. I've tried checking and unchecking the box in iTunes. I've turned Windows Firewall on/off. Ran the diagnostics in iTunes. Nothing seems to work. Help!
Hello Megurine Lockhart,
I would recommend re syncing the music to the phone from iTunes by unchecking the sync music checkbox in iTunes, sync, then re check it and sync again.
For reference this is what I mean:
Syncing music
Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
Select your your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window.
In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
Select the option to Sync Music. You may also select "Include Music videos" if you would like to sync Music videos to a device.

The article references an iPod but its the same for an iPhone.

why does the cloud installer quit after only a few seconds of install?
I am having the same problem. Sorry I don't know an answer but would love help too.
I'm on a Mac - OSX10.9.3
Downloaded installer which opened to the point that I had the icon in my toolbar but it seemed to get stuck at that point - about 7 hours of scrolling "update cycle" (swirly thing in middle of the empty CC window) but no App tab or other tabs - just a white rectangle with scrolling.
So I tried un-installing, deleted all files, downloaded again but now I get the same as Scrapnick - installer launches with task bar at "Initializing Installer" which lasts only about 2 seconds, then flicks to "Dowloading Creative Cloud desktop" at which point the task bar & the installer window close.
I hope someone can help us with this... -
I have an iPad that is now over twelve months old, it doesn't get over used, however in the last few days, it has started to get very hot after only a few minutes use, is this a fixable issue
Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I installed itunes on a new laptop, with Windows 8, and synced my ipad. Now my music library has only those few songs I had synced to the ipad, or roughly a quarter of my original library. My ipods (all three) still have the full library, but everytime I try to sync them, I am asked if I want to delete all of the contents and replace with the (much smaller) itunes library. Of course I don't, but how do I "reverse sync" and replace all the music contents of my library with the contents from one of my ipods?
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Today I got a iPad mini but after updating it my pc and iTunes decided to clear my whole iTunes library including manual downloads as well as purchased items (apps, music etc) it seems iTunes has gone back in time as there are only a few songs on my iTunes which are really old ones of mine. How do I get my current iTunes library back? Thanks.
Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck! -
need help with sync to my phone I sync but only a few ring tones show up then they go away when I try to sync more. how do i sync and them stay?
Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID). That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use. If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc. There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario. The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store. -
My itunes music is grayed out and unplayable on my new iphone 5. only a few songs work and the rest just take up space. They will play correctly in my itunes on the computer but not the phone. Please help.
I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this! However, I am sorry to hear you are going through this as well. Lucky for me I am upgrading to a 5s which will be sent to me on Wednesday. I did stumble upon an article with tips on how to downgrade back to iOS 7, but I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about doing that myself. Here's the article link if you want to give it a go:

hello, why is all of my music on my iphone but only a few songs on my itunes on my laptop? it seems like its not updating on my laptop because it still says i have credit and i know i that there isnt any please help thanks
If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ? -
My 120gb ipod classic always restarts after playing a few songs...WHY?
This is extremely annoying and now has happened to the last 2 ipod classics I have had (both 120gb). Apple has made a terrible product or something is wrong with something I am doing. After playing a few songs or skipping through songs the Ipod will shut off and restart itself. PLEASE HELP!

I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
