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.

Play one of the songs on your computer, or choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes.

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

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 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.

HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

Yes by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
- Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
- After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

How can I put purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

How can I load purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

You can either sync them to her iPod using iTunes, or sign into your Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store on her iPod and download them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. If she is already signed into a different ID, tap it, sign out, then sign into your ID. (Note: If she has already enabled automatic downloads or downloaded previous purchases on her iPod using a different ID, she will have to wait 90 days before she can switch IDs to yours.)

Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

30 GB Video iPOD won't sync purchased songs from iTUNES.

Previously, on the same computer, I have synced purchased songs from my Itunes library to my iPOD. Now, suddenly, an error message says that I'm not authorized to do so. I use my computer in two countries, the US and Taiwan, and wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I've already restored the Ipod and reloaded all the songs. The purchased songs still appear in my library but will not sync.

Have you tried Deauthorizing then Authorizing your computer through the Store menu in iTunes?

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't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added. The purchases are on my account.

I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added. I have searched my library but they are not there. Itunes says that all recently purchased items have been downloaded. Where are the songs?

I don't know how, but this problem resolved itself for me. If you don't see the downloads go to Documents, My Music, iTunes and then scrounge around to see if you can find a file with new downloads in there. Then you can drag them to the iTunes icon.
Then try shutting down iTunes, and your computer and restart to see if this issue fixes itself. I know, only a Mackie would think that a computer could fix itself.

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle?

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle? After I have pressed Sync, the iTunes screen showed completed sync but nothing change in the i-Schuflle.
Further the i Schuffle player has a voice saying I have to sync. But I did.
Can anyone help?

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing. If there is nothing new to sync, based on your sync settings in iTunes, the syncing process just starts and stops in a few seconds.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

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.

HT1296 I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the iPod directions on this page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the Autofill button. Can you help?

I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the directions on the iPond help page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the autofill button. Can you help?

I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.
