Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s. I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s. I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes. Here's what happens:
I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR. Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped. Has anybody else encounted this problem??

Hi firmflange,
That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

I cannot synch. songs from itunes to ipad 2 (have authorised computer). Also cannot tranfer apps from ipad to Mac despite authorising the computer. Any advice? Thanks.

I cannot synch songs from itunes on my Mac to my ipad 2. It worked the first time, but stripped them off on a subsequent synch and I cannot get it to work again. It synchs apps but not music. Also, despite authorising my computer, synching strips off apps. purchased on the ipad (i.e., it will not transfer them to the Mac). All very mystifying. Any help gratefully received (I have tried everything on the troubleshooting page of the ipad guide).
Many thanks
Chris

Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.

The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance
Sarah

I figured it out!
I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
Anyone in similar position:
Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
Hope that helps

I recently bought a few new songs from iTunes and they transfer to my iPhone, but not into the Playlists I dragged them into

Do the problem songs play in iTunes on the computer?
Is Settings>iTunes and App Store signed into the account that purchased them?
Can yo redownlod them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Do they show up in the Purchased list?
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing/loading those songs?

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

"Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
Thanks for any info.

Basics from the manual are:
Restart, reset, restore

Problem getting songs from iTunes to iPod

Hi all, can any one help?
My 6th Gen iPod was working fine this morning but now I get "Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Marc's iPod". I did manage to get it to show up in iTunes but when I tried to move a song from iTunes to my iPod I got a (-61) error and won't copt songs across. I do not have the privileges to make changes
The iPod shows up on my desk top.
Can anyone help, I'm not that technically minded when it comes to these things.
Cheers in advance

Hello marky_marc1979,
Perhaps it would be a good idea to try and reformat the iPod using *Disk Utility*. See this article for instructions on how to do this.

Not authorized...cannot load songs from iTunes into iMovie

Hello,
I was importing some songs from iTunes into iMovie, something I've always done and never had a problem with before, until this wknd. After I had loaded in the songs into my iMovie timeline, and they played just fine, I then started getting pop-up boxes with the msg. stating: "This computer is not authorized to play...mp4... If you purchased this song you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID password." I did indeed click on the link to authorize, and put in my password, and then when I tried loading the song again, I got another pop-up box w/an Error msg. What gives? I have never seen this before. I checked out the authorization on my computer in iTunes, and it did state that I am authorized (I am the only one who uses the computer). I read some of the posts, do I have to De-authorize, then authorize again? I just don't understand the problem. I even tried burning the songs I wanted onto a disc, then tried re-importing them to iTunes, and it was still the same problem! I thought the whole idea of iTunes was to be able to play them with a project.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated, thank you.

It is a bug that Apple is aware of and apparently working on. I think it is an iTunes bug since it seems to effect both iDVD and iMovie. See these for a few examples...

How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

Help! I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
M

I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

Purchased Songs from iTunes will no longer sync to iPhone 4s.. any help on this ?

. All that music is in Music library on iTunes and plays well has been purchased with the same Apple id. On Windows -7, iTunes 10.5.
. Under previous purchased icon on iTunes all music shows downloaded.
. Unchecked music Sync from iTunes > removed all songs from the phone.
. Tried syncing manually just 1 song and got the same error "1 item could not be synced check iTunes for explanation " and there is no message on iTunes.
. We deleted all the Songs from iTunes and now re-adding.
. If this does not work then I will be testing with re-creating a new Library and testing in a new user account..
Does anyone have a better idea...?

How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.
