Cant manually sync songs from itunes

I have an iphone 5s and I can't sync any songs manually from iTunes like I could before. This is the first i've tried since updating to iOS 8.1.
I right click to "add to" playlist/iphone and it just doesn't even register as if I didn't do anything.
I also downloaded an iTunes update today.
I shut down my computer (after iTunes update) and tried again but still same thing and didn't work. I signed out of iTunes and signed back in and that didn't help either.
Any ideas? Thanks.

This iPhone transfer may be helpful.

I am trying to sync songs from itunes to my ipad and can't find my library on my ipad.

Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

HT1399 Can I manually select songs from iTunes? If so, how?

Can I manually select songs from Itunes? If so, how?

I have the iPhone 5. When I plug my phone into iTunes to select different songs, as my libraray is too large to keep it all on my phone. The only choices that iTunes gives you now is Artists, Genres, etc. I don't see the ability to just select song for song, like the older version of iTunes. Which in my opinion, was way more user friendly.

Help, I am having problems syncing songs from itunes to my ipod.

I am having great difficulty in trying to sync purchased songs from itunes music store to my ipod.
I have just registered my ipod to my home computer after having it originally registered on a friends computer. Now on my own computer I have purchased 14 songs and have tried to sync them onto my ipod. However it keeps coming up with a message that my computer is not authorized to play them. Therefore its not copying onto my ipod.
Any solutions/help would be greatly recieved, thanks.

I'll wager that you have a second account that you forgot about. Fire up iTunes but do not log on to your account. Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window will appear asking you to authorize your computer for that account.

I cant manually transfer songs from my itunes on mac-says it is synced to another library

I have a newish mac with everything transferred from the old. I attempted to transfer some new songs I just purchased to my iphone by manual transfer but I get the message:
The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
Its the same itunes library transferred onto this mac so i dont understand?

The iPhone is ONLY allowed to by synced to one computer. [Google is your friend! Search other online forums for this matter!]
You can transfer your iTunes collection to the other computer but your iPhone is still synced to the old computer.
A file (or more) is left on the computer where the iPhone is originally synced. That's how iTunes knows that the iPhone was synced to That particular computer.
You'll need to deauthorize iTunes on the old Mac.
Go to the new Mac and iTunes and make a backup of the iPhone's contents if not through iCloud.
Then resync.
You will get a message that the contents will be replaced!
All of the iPhone's contents should already be in your iTunes folder collection or backed up so let the contents be replaced then restore the iPhone's contents.
Apple should REMOVE the iPhone syncing restriction as well as the drag n drop feature of contents From the iPhone back to the computer/iTunes but it won't!

On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can.

Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3. I can no longer sync songs from itunes. They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded. How can I syn the new songs??

I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL. I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD. ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them. Does anyone know how I can get this resolved??

Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Try syncing using the manual method if you have not yet tried that.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

HT3965 When trying to sync songs from Itunes account to new Iphone 5s I lost everything on there...HELP

I just got an Iphone 5s. I plugged it into my computer to transfer all my songs from my Ipod Touch. When I did it erased everything on my phone...contacts, pictures, everything...Can this be undone????

This didn't happen by just by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
Sounds like you selected to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your new iPhone. All data included with the backup is replaced by the backup for the device you chose to transfer to your iPhone, which includes contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll. Any music or apps that were downloaded with the iPhone can be redownloaded.
You manually entered all contacts on the iPhone, or are you accessing an email account on the iPhone that supports syncing contacts over the air?

Looking for information and help on syncing songs from itunes to ipod

I just bought my first ipod -the 60gb video ipod. I'm in the process of ripping songs into itunes from about 2,000 CDs and there are some songs I don't want to load onto my ipod. I have 3 questions:
1. When I sync my ipod with itunes the first time will it load all the songs in itunes or only the ones with check marks?
2. When I sync it later to load new songs will it just add the checked songs?
3. If I create new playlists and make changes to old playlists do they automatically update when I sync my ipod to itunes?
Thanks to anyone who has information to help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The following answers are based on the assumption that you automatically update. This means you will leave the iPod set to automatically have iTunes add songs (and you don't have to manually drag songs). This should be the default setting. To check, go to edit-->preferences with the iPod connected and hit the iPod tab.
1) It will add all songs. You can change this though. Connect the iPod (perhaps the first time you are syncing). Go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Select only update checked songs. Now any songs you uncheck are removed from the iPod or not synced at all.
2) If you have the option I talked about above checked, it will add all new songs that are checked automatically. By default, iTunes will want to have all new content added. But, if you have the only update checked songs option enabled, then only new songs that are checked will be updated.
3) New playlists automatically sync to the iPod. If you change older playists, these changes will be reflected on your iPod the next time you sync.

Manually Transferring Songs from iTunes to iPod

I have my iPod set to manually sync with iTunes, but when I select songs to transfer from iTunes to my iPod--as in the case when I want to transfer an entire album--the tracks are not in the same order as the original album. How do I rectify this?

you'll have to do this for each song:
right click > get info
go to the info tab
where it says track number __ of __,
put in the order you want it.
say the album has 12 songs.
the song that goes first, put 1 of 12.
continue this for the rest...it should work.

Cannot sync song from iTunes playlist to iPod Classic

I haven't been able to sync a song from one of my playlists in iTunes to my iPod ever since I've updated from earlier programs. The song was added to the playlist manually, but that never mattered before. If I can't clear this up I'm afraid my iPod is useless!

You could try creating a new playlist from that one. Select the complete Playlist and then select New Playlist from selection. In my screenshot, I right-clicked to get this pop-up menu, your iTunes may look slightly different, but the choice will be there somewhere (try the + icon in the bottom left of the iTunes window).
Once you have created the new Playlist, try Syncing that to your iPod. If only that song is missing, that suggests there is something wrong with the song that prevents it going onto your iPod. But if the complete (new) Playlist fails to transfer, then that suggests that something is wrong with your Sync preferences.

Ipod unable to sync songs from itunes store

So I just bought a new MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.3.. I have transferred my itunes library from my old ibook and all the songs are there. I just tried syncing my ipod, authorized my 2 accounts from itunes, and all but 56 songs were synced. I get an error message saying "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer".. I go to the store menu and authorize both of my known accounts and i get a message saying "these accounts are already authorized".. The only thing I can think of is that my roommate bought songs on itunes with her account, so I asked her for her username and password but it says the username/ password were entered incorrectly. I have tried multiple times and i know im entering her name and password correctly... Is there any other way to get these 56 songs to sync to my ipod? Its just annoying me! Please help!!

if you select one of those tunes in iTunes, right-click and +get info+, and check the summary pane, you will be shown who purchased the track and the account used. is that different from the accounts you authorized iTunes for ?
if not, try the suggestions click here.
