Can't sync all music to iPhone ?

Hello all
I'm currently trying to sync my music which is a total of 2358 tracks to my iPhone 5 (6.0.1)
However when updating my music to my iPhone it only syncs 2331 songs (not a massive differance but still annoying)
So far I have: restored my phone from scratch, deleted all music from the phone and rebooted. checked for updates on both iTunes and iPhone. Restored from a back up and tried dragging and dropping the missing tracks. I've tried the obvious of just pressing the Sync button on the music tab as well. I've made sure that its not syncing only ticked tracks and made sure that the new tracks wern't CP protected. I do work for another tech company so I deal with troubleshooting all the time but I'm baffled by this one!

Can't sync all Music to iphone 4s

when i look on my iphone i am missing albums that i have on my actual library.
i have my whole library ticked and each and every song, i removed all music off it and tryed syncing it again and it popped up saying '36 items could not be synced. see iTunes for more information' then when i open ituns it doesn't give me any information whatsoever
please help, if it helps i restored my phone from icloud around 4 days ago when i got a new iphone due to warranty.

Unless you've got the iPhone working in manual mode, you can't just drag-n'drop. You need to create a playlist and then tell the iPhone to sync that play list. (If you don't just want it to sync as much music as it can).
What's more, you can refer these articles about transferring iPhone music to iTunes:

Hope that can help you a lot.

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...

Can't transfer all music to iPhone 4 running on iOS 8 latest

In the process of changing music on my iPhone 4G, I noticed that not all music I had intended to transfer made it. On the iPhone the music does not show up at all but on the directory on iTunes on my computer, the songs are listed, but in grey and preceded by a dotted circle, i.e., they have not been downloaded to the iPhone. At first I thought it may have to do do with me recently having changed my e-mail address and iTunes ID, but there is no rhyme or reason to why some songs are not being transferred. Having said that, it does appear that if one song in an album does not transfer, the entire album doesn't transfer no matter whether the music was purchased prior or after the ID-change. Only about 10% of the files I moved are affected.
I erased all the music on the iPhone and started from scratch again and I reorganized the iTunes library to no avail.
Can anybody enlighten me as to what is going on here and how to work around it?
Thank you!

Thanks. No, I'm not sure. I remember that I may have physically connected my IPhone at some point to another authorized computer that had songs from other sources and songs originally downloaded from another old Itunes account that I no longer use. I think those songs did sync from the other computer to the Iphone. Is that possible? Is there any way to get those songs from my Iphone to my computer?
Thanks.

Can't sync iTunes music to iPhone

I'm using iTunes on my MacBook, OS 10.8.5. My iPhone has IOS 8.1.2. My iPhone is connected to the Macbook by cable. Under Summary I have checked Automatically Back Up "This Computer". Under Options I have checked "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and "Sync only checked songs and videos. I only use iTunes on the MacBook to sync my music collection to my iPhone. Under Songs I have checked "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. Then when I check my music on my iPhone, i find that only half of the genres and none of the playlists have synced. Why can't I do a full sync? Does anyone have any ideas? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and get the latest version of iTunes from there.
Interestingly, you told us what version of iOS and OS X you are running, but not what version of iTunes.
Your post says you are using OS X 10.8.5, but your profile (below your post) says OS X 10.6.5. If OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) is correct, then you can run the latest iTunes (12.0.1).

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.

I can't sync my music on iPhone 4S - trying to do manually but don't get options to drag and drop . If I uncheck everything in my library it won't remove from my iphone

I cannot sync my 4s. If I uncheck all items on my library it doesn't remove all music from my phone. If I try to update manually I do not get the drag and drop options that the user guide states I should?

Did you check "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes before you tried to drag and drop?

My itunes won't update; therefore, I can't sync my music to iphone

When I open itunes, a message pops up that there is an updated version and asks me if I want to download it. I click download, the message disappears, and then nothing. I currently have version 11.04.4. When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me it won't do it because it requires version 11.1 or higher. I have tried going to apple.com and clicking the download for the itunes update, but that doesn't seem to work either. It says I downloaded it, but as far as I can tell, I didn't because I keep getting the same message in itunes that an updated version of itunes is available and asks me if I want to download it. I have checked to see if my pop-up blocker is too sensitive. As far as I can tell, it's set on "low." I am not computer savvy at all. Can someone please help?

I realize this is a dumb question, but as I said, I am not computer savvy. After the download was complete, no pop-up box occurred prompting the install, so as you said, I clicked on start to try to search for the download of it. What do I look for to find the download of the new itunes version? I am embarrassed to be so dumb about this and appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

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.

Anyone know why I can't sync my music from iphone to itunes?

I've tried syncing my iphone to my itunes library, tried transfering them as well....no luck. The songs appear in the itunes library but have an "!" in front of them. I've tried locating them and when I go to my computer where it says they are not there. I am up to date with downloads and have a iphone 4s and itunes is on my pc windows7. I can play them on the phone only.

When you reinstalled iTunes, did you remove and reinstall by the exact steps listed here? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
You will need to do it that way. That would be the only thing I can think of that would be stopping the transfer of purchases. If you go into Task Manager and Services, is the Apple Mobile Device Service running? If you go into Device manager when the phone is connected, do you see the Apple Device Driver listed under USB devices? Have you tried disconnecting the phone and then rebooting the computer, then doing a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots and the computer reboots, connect them again?

How can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

Yes. You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

If Steve jobs still alive you would never have published such software, befor everything would have worked flawlessly.

You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...
