Can not check Sync Music box on iTunes to transfer song to ipod on iphone

I have a play list I want to transfer to my iphone's iPod. The Sync Music box in iTunes is grey and when I check this box here is the message that appears.
Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Denise’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
I want only to move this play list. How can I get this to sync without replacing all of my library?

You are trying to sync media with a computer other than the one your phone is configured to sync with. You can't do this. The iPhone can sync media with 1 and only 1 computer at a time. If you want to sync with this one instead, you will have to allow it to wipe the media from the phone and replace it with the media from the computer you're trying to sync to now. This is by design.

HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

I have cleared all my music from my iPhone. I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes, but some songs are still on "on this phone" in itunes, how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

iOS 8.0
I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes and I have cleared all my music from my iPhone.
On my Mac, on itunes (version 11.4) if you click on "on this phone", there are still remaining 70 songs...
how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

ITunes cannot find songs when iPod or iPhone is plugged into computer

Every time I plug my iPod or iPhone into my computer, an iTunes box pops up saying, " 'such n such' song could not be copied to the device because they could not be found." There will be a little arrow saying '100 total problems'. Actually it is referring to all songs/videos/whatever in the device. When I look in the library it is there with the exclamation point. The song plays when selected, so it is not gone. It only seems to disappear when I attach a device to my computer and iTunes comes up. I thought I fixed it when I restored my iPhone. After I reattached the phone with the newly added songs, the error message showed again.
It's not as bad as it sounds as the items are still there. The songs are still on my iPod too. When I remove the device and restart iTunes, it acts as though nothing is wrong until I again attach any idevice. It can be a real headache when I want to recharge and play random songs that is cannot find or add those songs to another .
I do have all my songs on a network attached storage device with a RAID 5 system.
Anybody else have similar porblems?

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem related to. You'll get better support help by posting to the iTunes for Windows forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows

I can not find the accept box for itunes terms and conditions.

It asks me to accept the iTunes terms and conditions. I am expecting to see an accept indicator to activate or check. But nothing. Pls help

OK? I just wanted to make sure because it is a family common mistake that other users have made in the past.
What are you trying to download - not that it really matters. Can you quit or clear put of what you are doing? Is there a cancel option?
Do you see a spinning wheel by any chance?

I have problem syncing my music to ipad. Most of the songs are duplicated but only in ipad. I checked the music library in itunes and there didn't have the duplicated songs like in the ipad. I can not delete the duplicated songs inmy ipad.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

The computer that I first used to download iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I set my wife up on. While I can see all my music in the iTunes library I cannot sync my iPod

The computer that I first used to download iTunes, to buy songs and to sync my iPod Nano to iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I inadvertently set my wife up on. When I sign in, while I can see all my music in the iTunes library, when I tried to 'sync', I have lost all my music in my iPod and I now have my wife's library on there instead.
I subscribed to iTunes Match, thinking that this would help. It hasn't and I'm not happy!
I have arranged to take my iPod into an Apple store next Tuesday but isn't there something you can tel me to do that ties my iPod wth my music and leaves my wife's music for her iPod? Please help, I am so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my iPod....
Can anyone help?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,

I have a new Iphone 5
Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
Also tried manual
TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
Also tried with a new CD
No fault during sync, but no music

Good.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).
