Can't sync music via iCloud

On the setting under 'store' on my iPhone 4, there is no option to activate Music to automatically sync via iCloud to my other devices (iPad, Mac and MacBook Pro). It is possible to activate 'Apps' and 'Books', but not Music and I do not know why.
Can somebody help?
Thanks

  • Can you sync music via wifi?

    My dad has all my music on his computer on the west coast.  My phone had to be restored so I lost all my music.  Is there a way I can get music from my dad over wifi?

    This is the most basic feature of the ipod.  You should really read the manual.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • Can't sync music to new iPhone

    Hi,
    My new iPhone arrived today and I have set it all up and used the restore from backup following backing up my old iPhone.
    However, I can not seem to be able to sync music to it. When I go into the phone when it's connected and go to the music section I only see an option to sync voice memo's. When I click this I can then see my old play lists which are the ones I want to sync, however it doesnt put them on the phone.
    There is a message on the above screen stating that the phone can download songs from my icloud, but I don't want that. I want to sync them from my PC.
    All my other data such as contacts and old texts etc have sync'd.
    Also... on another seperate note, does anyone else have a problem with this forum where the cursor moves back to an older finished sentence when you puase for to long?

    The problem reported by FireFly62 may be different from that of adam.b.
    FireFly62, your probable problem is this:
    Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu,  configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network.
    My problem may (or may not) be similar to that of adam.b.
    Here are specifics of my situation:
    I sync several playlists. Two of them contain songs in iTunes but remain empty on my iPhone 5. (I am using iTunes 10.8.2.)
    In iTunes, under Devices, in the Music section of my listed phone device, the songs on two of my (supposedly) synced playlists are grayed out. Each grayed-out song has a cyclical icon next to the song number, as if the song were in the middle of being synced. But no sync is in progress.
    No matter how many times I select Sync, the songs in these two lists are not synced. No error message appears during sync, either. Other lists are fully synced.
    If I unsync all Music in iTunes, apply the change, then resync, again these two playlists are not resynced. If go to Preferences / Advanced in iTunes and reset warnings and the cache, then Sync, again nothing happens with these two playlists. If I copy the songs from these two lists to two new lists, again none of the songs in these two new lists are synced.
    If the problem is due to a corrupt library file, I am very reluctant to delete my library file and recreate my playlists from scratch.
    I'm going to test it now, but I do already hve the option to choose what music to put on. I'll post back if it works.

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

    Hi again Limons,
    just got your last reply per mail, re: 'presently only available in the USA.'
    Unfortunately, you're right. Just found this article: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/stories/061011icloud

    Frustrating outcome to my question, but thanks a lot for helping me sort out what the problem was :-)
    All the best to you.

  • Can't sync music from iTunes 11 to iPhone 4 since getting iOS 6.1

    IPhone 4, iOS 6.1
    Basically, plugged in my phone to put a new cd on, and as it started I noticed the 'other' bar was huge and iTunes was saying my phone was 6gb over capacity and was still trying to sync apps I'd deleted a month before, so stopped the process thinking it was damaging my phone.
    I then, thinking the phone had backed up, deleted all pictures to make some space and tried to sync again. The same happened.
    Next I decided to update the iOS to 6.1 and try again. This is when I started not being able to syncs anything. Music, film, photos, tv shows, nothing.
    The sync will start and the phone capacity bar shows will show how much space will be taken up and the sync skips to the end and nothing has been synced. In iTunes in the music view under devices on tje left the files are greyed out with the sync in progress icon next to them.
    I have also got a 'connection has been list to the iPhone' error message which I really don't understand as they are connected via USB and the phone is still mounted in iTunes.
    Since then I have tried every different connotation of settings through iTunes to no avail. I've backup and restored, I've restored to a new phone but with no results at all. 
    I have read 20 or discussions on The Apple forums and it seems that loads of slightly different solutions have worked for lots of different people and I also know many people are completely unaffected by this, but I use my phone more as an iPod than phone.
    It's proper frustrating, especially when Apple release a software update for iPhone 4S users but not iPhone 4 owners.
    Oh and today it also seemed to be flakey in terms 3G connections.
    Oh and since Christmas I haven't been able to use home sharing as it won't finish connecting, it just stops!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

    can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

    You can't sync contacts on your Mac with iCloud running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  That requires Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  If your system can't run this, you'll have to go to turn of contact syncing with iCloud and either start syncing them with iTunes, or use an alternative service such as a Google contacts.  You could, for example, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then set up a Gmail account and sync them as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

    No, it was not jailbroken. And now because it's in this loop, there's no ability to restore and such on itunes as the only option now is ever 'eject'.
