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.

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.

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!

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 I buy a new iPod to replace a burned out iPod, can I sync all of my apps and music to the new touch?, If I buy a new iPod to replace a burned out iPod, can I sync all of my apps and music to the new touch?

If I buy a new iPod touch to replace the one that burned out, can I sync all my music and apps from the old to the new? I typically didn't sync with my PC, just ordered apps a music via wi-fi, will all of that be on iTunes when I sync the new one?

My iPod Shuffle can't sync all the music in my playlist at once!

I have a two year old iPod shuffle and starting now, it can't sync all the content at once! It can only sync one song every time I press autofill. I don't want to restore it; it would take a long period of time. Please give me some tips on how to resolve this issue. Thank you!

Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect to your new iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" This will copy all apps and bought media to your computer.
After that, right click again, this time choose "backup" to save your app data and other settings.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your computer before your sync for the first time.
Your ipod will be erased, but you can restore it from the manual backup you made before.

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..

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.

After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can't sync my music or videos

After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can not sync my music or videos. I have restored the ipad many times, tried to sync only a few playlists, reset the ipad (restart button and home button). No problems with contacts, mail, calendars, or apps. Any suggestions where to attempt fix?

To the original question of how to sync. If you have tried the usual routes via selecting Playlists from your Device Music page. And/Or Drag and dropping a playlist onto your device and neither work, it may be that your songs are unchecked.
Right Click on a song in your playlist you are trying to sync. If the entryies at the bottom give you the option to Check selection. Then click this and repeat for all songs in that playlist. You can select all songs in a playlist by Cmd + A
If you see Uncheck Selection then this is not the cause. It must be something else.

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.

IPod won't sync all music to iTunes

I recently got a new Macbook Pro and needed to transfer over all of my music on iTunes from my old laptop. My iPod Touch has enough space to hold my entire iTunes library, so I synced it with the iTunes library on my old laptop, got everything onto it, and then synced it with my new Macbook Pro.
However, the iTunes on my Mac refuses to sync any music from my iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store at some point. 75% of my music is from CDs and so 75% of my music will not transfer from my iPod to my iTunes.
I can't adjust anything on the tab on iTunes for syncing all music/entire library because I get a message saying if I do this all of the content on my iPod will be erased and replaced with what is currently in iTunes, which is barely anything.
All I've ever done is fought with iTunes every single time I try to do anything significant with it and I'm sick of it. I don't understand why iTunes won't simply take all the music from my iPod and put it into the library. That's all I want.
Please, can anyone help me with this?

OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.
If your music won't download from iTunes to your iPod because it is not 'authorised' see if this helps.
Go to the album or song that is not 'authorising'. Select it and push play. It should ask you for authorisation or a username and password. Put in your username and password, it should then go to iTunes store and it will now be authorised.
Be careful not to make the same mistake that I made and have multiple iTunes Store accounts. Mainly because I think it creates these problems on transfer of your library and secondly because you may not remember the password. If you forget the password, then simply get iTunes store to resend it. The only problem may be if your email account no longer exists. Mine does, so not sure what happens if it doesn't.
This in itself may not fix the problem either. I noticed on the left hand side of the music library, met to the song names etc, the '!" symbol in the column. This will also prevent it copying to your iPod. I am not technical, but it seems it lost the file path in transfer. Just double click the song and it will ask you if you want to find the path. Click yes and then search through iTunes library until you find the song. Double click the song and bingo you should now be able to transfer the music.
It took less time for me to finish by Business Degree, but its the only way I found to get around all the authorisation problems
Hope this helps

You'll want to copy the music from your iPod to your computer and into iTunes first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering some of the different methods and software available to assist you with this task. Once you have successfully copied all your content back to your PC and into iTunes, you can safely Erase and Sync your iPod.

HT1351 when I put my iphone (4) in, it doesn't come up in itunes, only on iphoto. So i can't sync my music. any suggestions?

I have got some music on my Itunes library that I would like to transfer to my iphone (4) but the device isn't showing up (and I've tried to take it out and put it back in) but it's not coming up. The internet is on, but still nothing. So I can't sync my music. Any thoughts?

Not normal at all. Try restoring your phone from backup, followed by syncing your content back to the phone. If no change, restore as a new device, again followed by syncing your content back to the phone. If no change after restoring as new, make an appointment at an Apple store to have your phone replaced.
