Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
any ideas before I get really frustrated?

Can,t sync purchased songs marked Protected AAC audio file to Blackberry Link. Songs marked just AAC audio file O.K. Repurchased one song now listed as AAC audio file and now works. Any simpler way to do this with existing protected song other than re-purchase all of them?

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

The computer I used for itunes Died. I went to transfer my itunes library to my new computer and it is telling me I can only sync purchases. I had downloaded more than a undred CDs to my itunes before selling them. How do I regain access?

HI. I am hoping someone can help me. The computer I have used for the last 5 years for my I tunes died. I got a new computer and went to transfer my itunes play lists over - and see that I can only transfer purchases. To make matters worse, in order to syn cthe ipod to future purchases it will only sync what is on this computer. Since I cannot access the old computer, I cannot "copy" the files as all the help topics are directing me to do. And just authorizing this new computer means I am going to lose all of my non purchased music and playlists. Can someone PLEASE help me

in order for you to save your CD music you will have to use a 3rd party extractor to put the content onto the new computer

this is one extractor you can use
hope this helps:)

Error (-50) Can't Sync Some Songs to iPhone 4

I have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes Library syncing to my iPhone. They would all sync well until I added one album, The Very Best of Eagles. Whenever it syncs now, it gives me an error saying "iTunes can't sync the song "Wasted Time" to the iPhone "Esteban Valle's iPhone 4" because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
I have already restored my iPhone and set up as new iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, and reencoded the album to no avail. Everything else syncs okay until it gets to this song, "Wasted Time"
What more can I do to fix this?

Actually guys, it's pretty dumb. I had imported also the disc "Hotel California" in the same session, and it turns out that that album had the song in question. I deleted the whole album and will try to reimport it. Anyway, mine's fixed, although now Im ****** I had to restore my iPhone . I'm gonna try to restore back to the old backup again.
Anyway I'll leave the question as unanswered because I know lots of other people are having this problem too, and it will encourage more answers.

I can not sync the song I deleted in iOS again to my iPhone

I deleted a song from my iPhone 4, in iOS 5.0.1. When I sync this song to my iPhone 4 next time, I can NOT find it any more! I tried to sync the song individually or sync the whole album, but I still can not find the song... I just want to listen to this song agian. How can I sync this song to my iPhone again? Is this a bug for iOS?

Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't sync photos, songs to iPhone 3G after upgrade to OS4

I’m using iPhone 3G. Just restored and upgraded to OS4. All my songs, contacts, calendar could be backup to my iPhone after the upgrade. Then, I downloaded some eBooks with my iPhone. But when I tried to sync the iPhone with iTunes 9.2 one day after the upgrade, no new eBook records shown on iTunes, no calendar updated on Outlook and on photos were sync to iPhone after the backup process. It seems that iTunes only performed backup but no data synchronization was done.
Can anyone help me? I can’t transfer songs, photos to iPhone. Please help. Thanks.

I have a similar, but slightly different issue. Also on an iPhone 3G. Some of my stuff synced, but not all of it. I've got my apps, my contacts, calendar, eBooks, and my pictures, but not my TV shows, movies, music, etc. And when I try to add them back into iTunes (File: Add file to Library), then select them to sync by selecting my iPhone under Devices in iTunes and clicking the Sync Movies box, then selecting the movies I want to sync, and clicking Apply... it says, "The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes Libary. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?"
I don't! And my iPhone is not synced with another iTunes Libary. What can I do?

Itunes can't sync my songs into iphone

please help.
I'm at my wit's end. after upgrading my iphone to iOS4 and itunes to 9.2, i can't sync all my songs at all. i keep getting an unknown error (-50)
please help.

Hi,
since my company didn't clear iOS4 yet i'm still using 3.1.3 - and having the problem as well.
But since the problem on my side exists because the file can't be converted at all (manually in the library by right-clicking, neither aac nor mp3 (it is an mp3) I think it can't be related to the sync (in my case). The file seems to broken (only plays threeandsome minutes out of 7 it actually should have).
I defined a "electronic broken" genre and put that song into it since i sync the "electronic" genre and want to keep it that way.
HTH,
Guido

Can't sync all songs from iPhone to iMac

my lap top was stolen and all my songs were on them, now i just have on the phone. i have tried to down load all my songs but the computer has told me that the iPhone belongs to another computer and has only down loaded all my purchased songs and not the ones that i had converted from records, how can i put these songs onto the iMac, can anyone help me.

Hello,
I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.

Can't sync google calendar with iPhone 5 iOS 7

I am having problems syncing my google calendar to my iPhone 5 iOS 7. Contacts and mail work fine...calendar not so much. Any assistance would be helpful.

JesusRamirez,
The EOS Remote App version 1.1.0 that you can download from the App Store should be compatible with your iPhone 5S. Your inability to connect may be caused by something else. In order to determine what that is, I need some additional information.
Are you unable to interface with the camera using the Remote App or are you unable to make a network connection with the camera?
Do you receive any errors when you try to connect?
When you set up the network connection between your iPhone and your EOS 6D, did your iPhone see the EOS 6D's network?

Can't sync purchased songs

After iTunes upgraded, I cannot sync any purchased music to my iPhone. All the purchased music that was on my iPhone was deleted. How can I fix this? All the music shows up in iTunes.

Can't sync icloud songs on iphone

I have a PC, laptop, iPad, 4G and 3GS iPhones. In every instance, except for the 3GS, I'm able to see the music I have on iCloud. I've gone through all the set up steps, upgraded to IOS 5.01 and enabled automatic downloads in Store on the 3GS, allowed for Home Sharing on the 3GS. I've proven the set up is complete because I can see other data sync'd to the 3GS (contacts, calendar). I also purchased Music Match for the year. How come I can't see the music on the 3GS?
Thanks.

Check you have settings > music set to 'show all music' (under the iTunes Match on/off option

Can't find purchased song in iPhone 5s playlist

I purchased and downloaded two songs to my iPhone 5s from the iTunes store. When I check my "Songs" playlist and the list of "Artists," the songs do not appear; however, when I look under "Purchased" (under the "Store" tab), the songs are there and they've been downloaded. Consequently, the songs won't play in my car when my iPhone is paired via Bluetooth.
Can anyone shed light on this please?? Thank you!!

Make sure you are signing in with the same Apple ID and password you used to originally purchase the song.

Can't sync 7 songs to iPhone 5 from iTunes? HELP

My iTunes is completely up to date and same goes for my iPhone 5. Seven songs that I recently added to my iTunes appear normal and play like any other song I have on there, but when I connect my Iphone 5 to the library, and click on the iphone tab and go to music "on this iPhone", the seven songs will not play when I click on them, they are "grayed out", and there is also a small circle made up of tiny gray dots just to the left of the check mark box for the song. I will sync my phone and apply and disconnect, then I look at my phone and the songs are not there?... Please help, Thanks.

I also found, finally, that selecting "manually manage" for the device on the summary page in iTunes for the helped.

Can't sync purchased songs and games to iPod. Plz help.

When i try to Sync my iPod it tells me that some songs cannot be sent becuase it i am not authorized to. I authorized my computer and it tells me the same thing every time i try to sync my I Pod. Can someone tell me how to properly sync my I pod and allow my songs to be sent.

Have you tried playing the tracks, at least for a few seconds, before trying to transfer them to the iPod? Sometimes you have to play the item for a bit before the authorization "takes".
Hope this helps.
