I have tried putting songs on as an album, playlist and manually. This is the first time this has ever happened. The songs are in my Itunes library and play fine. Please help. thank you

Is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod, is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod

I cannot sync songs and it doesn't show that I am connected to the cloud on my desktop. Just downloaded a bunch of songs and have no way to sync them to my ipod eventhough the ipod is connected and syncing.

OK, I finally got it - do the following:
1. Connect Pre to your computer in USB mode.
2. Open search feature and search for "ipod controls" file in the Pre drive (on my computer this is drive E
3. On the search feature, go to advanced tab and tell it to search for hidden files.
4. It should find ipod controls.
5. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes. I love it. Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive. Hope this helps. It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone. Good luck out there.
This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play

Can't sync songs to ipod - help?

I've been having trouble with syncing songs to my ipod. I inadvertently lost all my songs, but they agreed to restore them. So far, so good. All the 50+ songs that I'd purchased from itunes in the last 2 years were restored --- but to what? My "library?" While all those songs appear whenever I plug in my ipod, there is no way they will sync back onto the ipod. Should I burn all those songs to CD's and then try to sync them? Apple suppost says they can't help me any further.

Ummm.
If your iPod says it is connected to another library, it should ask you if you want to replace all the songs on it. Click "Yes."
There is really no need to open up an old Library file.
To delete music from iTunes and iPod, simply hilight the song(s) you want to delete, press the delete key, and make sure you click "Move to Recycle Bin."
If this has nothing to do with your problem, please post back, only a with little more clarity.

Can't sync song info to iphone 4s?

Ever since I switched from my 3g to a 4s I have noticed the following problem, which I think others have noted as well, but so far I have yet to see a solution:
When I change or update song information manually on itunes (like, change the name of a song, or an artist for a group of songs, etc), itunes makes and saves the change, which shows up correctly entered on the itunes screen under the 'music' tab for my phone, but on my actual phone post-sync, all of the incorrect information is still unchanged.
Is there any fix for this yet? Updating to 5.1 did not fix it.
I have my music set to sync manually, and I don't back up all my music to the computer because the computer I'm using isn't mine, so it's important for me to be able to edit the information from the itunes tab for it while my phone is plugged in, not just re-enter all the songs in the main library.

Although the screen resolution isn't up to 1080p, the iPhone (3GS, 4, 4S), iPod touch (> 2nd Gen) and iPad are all capable of decoding 1080p content (as long as the profile isn't too high). I know this because whenever I use Handbrake to rip a bluray at 1080p, it works fine on all of my devices. iTunes will even stream them over home sharing.
However, all of this falls down if you flag a video file as HD 1080p. I found that when I was opening my rips with Subler (to add artwork and metadata), they would no longer be visible in my shared library via my iDevices, only AppleTV 3. This was happening because Subler was setting the HD flag to 1080p. I found that changing this in Subler to 720p or None, resulted in the rips re-appearing in the library.
So, this is not a device limitation, it is iTunes being restrictive. iTunes shouldn't restrict based on video resolution, it should restrict on the encoding profile.
I've never tried opening a purchased movie with Subler but, if you can, try re-flagging your content as 720p and see if you can now sync your 1080p content. Don't worry, it's only a metadata flag that you're changing, it won't change the resolution of the movie.

ITunes 10 doesn't see my Aperture Library and I can't sync phots to iPhone4

I upgraded to iTunes 10, now when I plug in my iPad or iPhone to my MacPro iTunes tells me this device was sync'd with another photo library and should it delete the pictures to sync with photos from this computer. I said yes on my iPhone4 sync, it deleted all the photos on the phone then when I click to the Photo section it tells me there are 0 photos in my Aperture library!!!! So now I can't sync my photos as it believes they don't exist despite there being over 20,000 in Aperture!!! It sees my old iPhoto library no problem. How do I get iTunes to recognise my Aperture library to allow me to sync photos again?

thanks Tony,
I clicked on the Library and that did it .. (I never found the "switch libraries" menu item) but this worked great ...
but just to give a complete solution ... I was looking for a option to use 2 screens and decided to look in the Preferences file and at the top was an option to designate a library .. to point to one. I guess I needed to look a little harder... thanks for your time and help,

ITunes can't sync songs because 'file not found'

I just bought an iPad. Installed some apps etc.
Want to manually manage some music. But almost every song comes up with the error 'iTunes Can't Synch (insert filename) because the file cannot be found. But they are all there. They even sync fine to my iPod Touch.
Anything I can do to fix this? I really want my playlists/music in my iPad as well, without iTunes skipping over half of them because it cannot find them (I can play them just fine: they are there, the error simply pops up syncing to the Pad).

HI,
Make sure you are syncing from the the correct hard drive. Either on your computer or an external disk where the iTunes library is stored.
If the library is stored locally on your MacBookPro, try restoring the iPad.
On your iPad tap Settings / General / Erase All Content and Settings. Then follow the instructions.
Might be a good idea to not re sync those apps you just installed until after the iTunes library has synced. Then try syncing the apps.

Can't sync songs to ipod because my computer is 'not authorized'

I just bought my ipod touch a few months ago and it was working fine till I realised some songs were missing. When I go to sync my ipod and put the songs on I get told my computer isn't authorised. When I try to authroize it I keep getting this message
'We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-09808). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later'.
I also get this message when I try to deauthorize my computer. Does anyone know what I can do?

I received the same message a while ago and I just kept trying over time and finally it worked. It appears there is a problem with Apple's servers since the computer and to communicate with Apple to authorize/de-authorize.

Can't sync songs after 14 gb, itunes gives errors!! Please help!

Hello to everyone, I'm using an Ipod classic, 6th generations, 2009 and i am using itunes with windows 8.1. After the new update of Itunes, i couldn't sync new songs to my Ipod, Itunes shows a lot of erros like 50, 53, 13039. I read and tried a lot of solutions to solve it, i uninstall the Itunes and reinstalled the latest version, it didn't help, i restore, reboot my ipod it didn't help, i deleted my whole library, i tried different cables to plug in, i used all of my usb slots, none of them has helped me!! I'm so close to throw my Ipod out!! I need some help and advice. I could be allowed to sync aprox. 14 gb of songs, but after the remaining space comes to 130 gb (or some other equal space) it starts to give errors that i mentioned above. The only thing that i didn't give a try is trying syncing my ipod with another pc. Is there anybody to help me? What can i do? I guess the problem is with my ipod's harddisk, i hope it is not, i don't want to pay money to get it repaired! All kind of helps will be appreciated! Have a nice day!

Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

I can't sync songs or apps

can anyone help me because i plug inmy ipod to sync it, but it doesnt even go past the backing up part.

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

Can't sync song that I imported. It's in the library but it's not syncing.

I have a Meditation CD that I purchased years ago in a small shop in Park City. The music is in my iTunes library, but I can never find the artwork, because the CD is a rare find. My issue is that everytime I get a new iPhone, most of the music downloads to the new device with no problem. However, we this album and song, it sits in the library and doesn't sync. When I reset the software on my phone, it finally downloads. I just had to reset my brand new iphone 4 that I've had for 3 days. It was a software issue. All of my music is there except this album, which is still in my library. Could the song be corrupt and that's why it isn't showing up on my iPhone? It was on every other device I've had.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
