Can't get music in itunes library to sync to iphone

itunes library won't sync to my iphone4

What have you done so far to sync music to your iPhone? Is it iTunes music, or music from other sources (such as MP3s or CDs)?

  • Cannot get Music into Itunes Library

    Stumped on this one, need help. Using a PC, brought in music from external hard drive to my own. Followed posted web instructions to add folder to library. Result is all new music shows up in i tunes music folder, but not on I tunes library. Without actually playing each song individually, (physically double clicking them from I tunes music folder), how do I now get almost 30 Gig of music to show in my I tunes library. Current library shows 27 gig, should be 57 gig with new music.
    PC   Windows XP  

    I too can't get music into itunes. Running XP on a Dell box-of-some-kind. Installed itunes, fine. It imported most of my existing music on start-up just fine; most of the music is on two external hard drives. My music library was too big for the 80gb ipod, so I set to manual sync. It found the ipod. So far so good.
    Some of the music wasn't in the itunes library after the initial install. When I went to put it there manually, nothing happened. Tried drag and drop on the library music icon. Tried "add file". Tried "import". Tried deleting the file on the itunes library, the hard drive and the ipod, and re-ripping it in windows media player (mp3 format), then tried steps above again. Nada. Rebooted, tried same steps again. Zip. It's not like these were just some folders that were missed; these are songs missing from albums, where the other songs on the album imported and these ones didn't. I even tried deleting the entire albums, re-ripping them, and re-importing them; now none of the songs in those albums will show up. I read that itunes won't copy duplicate files and won't give feedback, and I tried the posted work-around with the equivalent of the option key. Still no joy. (all the music file formats are mp3)
    All this music is purchased and ripped from cd's, or is my own recorded stuff. Nothing pirated. I can uninstall and reinstall itunes, but will that be likely to resolve my problem? Running itunes 7.
    Also can't import movies or anything else. Checked the help on itunes, and found nothing there. Does itunes simply have a limit to how much content it will allow in its libraries? Anybody know of a book on itunes 7 that has good trouble-shooting tips?

  • How can i get music from my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    How can i get music on my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes.  So it needs to go through the computer.
    Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

    itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

    Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
    Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Can't add music to iTunes Library

    As the subject states, I am no longer able to add music to my iTunes Library. If I try to add a song, it tells me that I do not have permissions to write to my Music folder. I went to the Music folder's Get Info window, and under Ownership and Permissions, this is what it said:
    You can: Read & Write
    Details:
    Owner: admin (lock is locked)
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: No Access
    By the way, 'admin' is my short name. I have tried repairing my permissions with Disk Utility, but it did not correct anything in my Music folder. I have looked at permissions for other folders, and some say 'staff' as the group. Should I change the group to that? This is becoming very frustrating. If anyone knows what may be going on here, please _do not hesitate_ to tell me.

    Have you tried authorizing your computer? In iTunes go up to Store, then Authorize Computer. Type in your user name and password and click "Authorize". You will then get a pop-up window stating if your authorization was successful or not. Hopefully this will give you access to do as you please with your Music Library.

  • HT202213 Can't get music from shared library onto my iPod?

    I have managed to set up home sharing, and I can see the shared library when I'm in my iTunes account, but I cannot transfer stuff from that library to my iPod.  I'm using a PC, the library I'm sharing is on a Mac, and I'm trying to get music onto an iPod Nano.  Any help?

    More on this issue. So I see songs in my Music library, but when I try to move them over to either my created playlist on the device or under the playlist it show the circle with the line through it, not allowing me to move it.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • How can I get back my itunes library settings?

    My dad recently created a new profile and my library got lost with the old profile. I was able to move all my music from the old profile to my new library but i lost all my settings. I have the music but it doesn't show any of my ratings for any songs, no play counts, the date added is wrong, no playlists, and I had selected specific songs I wanted on my ipod but now it has all of them selected again. I still have all my old settings on my nano if I can get them off there somehow. If anyone knows how i can get my settings back please help.

    It sounds to me like the original iTunes Library file got replaced. If so, transferring from the nano will be your only possibility. If you search VersionTracker for "iPod", you'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac. One or more of those utilities might also be able to transfer playcounts and ratings.

  • Computer Crashed, Can't Get Music on iTunes

    My computer crashed and completely erased my hard drive. I managed to upload 149 of the 160 songs that I purchased from iTunes but can't get the rest, it simply stopped. I have about 100 other songs including all of my purchased music on my iPod, but I get the statement of how it can't read the contents of my iPod and that I need to restore it. I have copied all of my info to my hard drive, but that only includes the library list, not the actual files itself. How do I get these 100+ songs on to my iTunes?

    This is a frequently asked question. itunes block the function of transfer the songs not purchase from ipod to computer, you can have a look of this answer, same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6301496#6301496

  • How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

    I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.

  • Can't play music in itunes library

    When I try to play music from itunes I get an error that says: The song 'X' could not be used because the original file could not be found. When given the option, I can look up the song and open the file. Why isn't itunes opening it automatically?

    Hi,
    I just updated to version 7, and many of the songs I downloaded previously now have an exclamation point next to the checkbox. What does this mean? When I click on one of the songs to play it, it states the song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it? When I type in the name of the song, I don't get anything. Can you please help?
