Cant sync local files

Hello! So i've just bought my self a new iPhone 6. The problem is that, when I changed mobile I no longer can sync my local files.I have verified that I am on the same network on both my Macbook Pro and iPhone 6.I have tried reinstalling the app on both the iPhone and Macbook.I have terminated sessions from the WebUI, and I have removed all devices under the "Offline"-tab in the WebUI.I have tried turning "Available offline" on and re-syncing everything about three-four times. So now, I have runned out of things to do. If anyone has some good tips and tricks to force sync of local files, please do advices. Regards.

Can't sync local files.

Spotify refuses to sync local files. It will sync every other song but wont even attempt to download local files onto my iphone. They stay grayed out.
IMy iphone and mac are conneced to the same wifi. I have the most recent mac and iphone version of spotify. I just did a clean reinstall of both. I also checked to make sure that I have the most recent IOS and OSX version, and I do. I am using a macbook pro retina 13 inch which I just bought and an iphone 5.

Hi, I have had this problem for such a long time and it has been driving me mad. I couldn't sync my local files that were in my playlist to my iPhone or iPad, for example Fifth Harmony's song 'Worth It'. It was in my local files but wouldn't download and sync even if the playlist was avaliable offline. Yet theiir singles 'Sledgehammer' and 'BO$$' were syncing because they're on Spotify.
Also both my Apple products weren't showing under the devices section even if they were under the same WiFi.
However I have fixed my problem; it is due to the firewall in my HP laptop. I went into my laptop's search bar and typed in 'firewall'. I got a promt for allow a programme through firewall. I clicked on the controll panel for this and I had to change my settings for Spotify as it was only ticked in one box and not both like iTunes is. As soon as I clicked on this and saved the settings, I went back into Spotify and straight away my iPhone 5s appeared under my devices and my playlists that were containing my local files started downloading and syncing.
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!!

Cant play local files on mobile

Posting again and hoping for a response before I have to cancel Premium because of it. Hello, I have a Droid Razr M, and I can't play my local files on my Android phone. I have premium, and when I download a playlist/songs to my phone, they come up as (Song Name) Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, and completely grey instead of white with the Dowload Icon next to them. My Phone and my Desktop Spotify are sync'd and I switch between them often.
I used to have success transferring files when working off my Macbook Air to my phone, but no such luck with my HP desktop. I do not have the Macbook anymore so it isn't a solution to this problem. I have connected my phone to my PC yet it does nothing within the Spotify window. When I'm playing a local file on the PC and I try to switch to mobile using connect, it just black screens and I have to back arrow out of that to get back to my playlist, where it resumes fine playing no song. This was not a problem a couple patches ago, yet it may make me unsubscribe because it is my most essential value to my Spotify experience. I will provide more information to solve the problem, if necessary

Yeh it won't sync local files under the latest version of Android.
It's not that it doesnt actually sync it, but on the phone on android. There is no option for local files.
It doesn't come up. Tho it is on the computer Spotify app.
The only way to do it, is to make a playlist. Drag everything from local files into the playlist. Then sync.
You can even click offline mode for what its worth. Obviously its already on the computer as its local files.
It seems files that are not on Spotify are faded out. It is very inconsistent about it. But none the less you can play everything.
Once you have it all on your new shiny playlist. Sync it to the phone. And just sync that playlist which just has local files.
There is no way to work out the bitrate of the files on the spotify app for Andoid, so I can see the kbps. So I know if it is a local version or what the sound quality is either. Anyway you can sync local files only through making a playlist.
The problem lies in the Spotify app. It has the option to click sync local files. And it actually does it, but this is useless as there is no way to search or play these files unless they are in a playlist on the latest Android App. And because it isn't in a playlist you cannot play it.
So yeh Make playlist. Copy Local Files into Playlist. Sync Android Phone with that Playlist. You can now play local files.

Won't sync local files!

As the title says, my samsung galaxy s5 just won't sync my local files from my computer. I've read and tried everything the help thread recommended but it just won't work.

I have the same problem and it's really annoying! Since the redesign it stopped working for me and I have tried everything (deleting, etc.). Spotify Connect is working, but I can't get Spotify to sync local files to mobile devices....

Spotify won't sync local files to iphone

I've had local files synced for a long time, but today all tracks appeared as greyed out. I reinstalled the app and now when I press the offline switch nothing happens and the tracks remain greyed out. I've tried everything I have found on this forum: I am connected to the same wi-fi network (which has worked before so there is no problem there), I have about 7gb storage free on my iphone, I have tried reinstalling (several times) both spotify on my iphone and on my mac, I haven't updated the spotify client since this last worked (I went back to version 0.9.15.27 a while ago which did work for local sync). This is probably the most important feature for me so if this isn't getting fixed I will have to end my subscription.

Just follow this instructions (exactly) for you to be able to sync local files from your desktop to your iPhone. Note: This feature is for Premium users only.Using the desktop app, add local music files you want to sync to a playlist.Log into Spotify on your iPhone using the same WiFi network as your desktop.Tap the menu button ().Tap Your Music.
Tap Playlists.
Tap Local Files, or the playlist containing local files from your computer.Select the playlist containing the local music files and press the Available Offline switch at the top.
A green arrow will appear next to the tracks when syncing is complete.

How to sync local files to exchange

Okay - so I made the move in my office to all Mac - accessing our exchange server. All of my files are local - simple question:
1 - How can I have my local files (documents) automattically sync with an identical folder on the exchange server? This way my company has a back up and other people can acceess within the company,
2 - Does it make more sens to keep my documents on synced with a folder on the cloud - if so - I would still use my local files as the default place to operate from, as I am not always online.
Thanks in advance

Spotify won't sync local files

When I download my playlist to my android (Sony Experia ST27i) all my local files are unplayable. They do appear on the phone, but when I try to play them it says ''the song is not available''.
One more thing: when I am on the computer, my phone won't show under ''devices''.
I have followed every instruction but nothing works...
Please help!

Galaxy S5. Android version 4.4.2.
None of these methods work. I, too, have tried disabling all firewalls and the antivirus software. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the phone and desktop applications repeatedly. I have updated my router firmware and turned off all router firewalls and enabled UPNP. Offline mode is disabled on the phone.
If I uninstall and reinstall the phone app, then close then reopen the desktop application, the phone DOES show up under devices. The large button on the desktop that says Sync with this device is visible when I click on the device. However, the button doesn't work and nothing changes. If I do any navigating within the phone app, the phone disappears from the devices on the desktop and never comes back until I reinstall the android app on my phone.
The playlists that I made on the computer that are only containing local files (created specifically to try to fix/assess this issue) do show up on the phone. I have selected "download" on the phone, but the local files never download.
People have been complaining about this for so many months without resolution, it's very frustrating.
EDIT: I am also running the desktop as an administrator on Windows 7.
The spotify version running on my desktop is 0.9.14.13.gba5645ad
The mobile version is 1.7.0.830

Automatically sync local files and iTunes playlists

Is it just me, or does Spotify not update playlists and local files from iTunes automatically as you add more tracks?
This is so annoying. I use iTunes to add and organize my local files, which Spotify is not able to do. But the least Spotify could do was to do a check up once in a while to see if i added new local tracks or changed my playlists in iTunes.As it is now i have to import playlists and local files everytime i add new music. So i first need to add it to iTunes and then again to Spotify. Toooo much work.

Hey guys,
I am interested in the "Local File Refresh Button" functionality described initially in this post: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Local-File-Refresh-Button/idi-p/188652
I consider that having the "Local File Refresh Button" option would make a lot of users happy, is anyone else interested in this idea?
Cheers !

IPhone doesn't appear as device and sync of local files has stopped working

Oh my god!! why is it so complicated to do something that simple. Add a feature that lets us add our own mp3 directly in spotify with spotify managing them as itunes would (saving in right directory with renaming etc. Make people use your app instead of itunes) And automatically sync the content with devices. It's just too complicated now.. go to prefs add a custom source folder, put all the songs there.. go back to main screen and try to find the iphone (that never appears, I don't even know how to look for it). I never succeeded in adding my mp3. Now I can't see my device anywhere either. I added the song on the desktop app, but with some pain (first tried with itunes source but that doesn't refresh automatically and even if I restarted the app nothing appeared) so I chose the 'folder' source (quick and dirty way to add songs). I added the song to a playlist and tried to sync with my phone (on the same wifi yes).. no nothing happens, the song is there (on the phone) but greyed out (when I click on it it says content not synced, connect the phone on the same wifi bla bla bla) I don't know why it's so complicated.. From the beginning of spotify it never has been userfriendly, even when the phone appeared in device I always had problems and gave up. Hurry up guys! Apple released there own fully integrated streaming service so if we can't play our songs in the same app we will use the one that let us do that. Hopefuly some day we won't have to do this anymore if the streaming services get common and used by everybody, it will put some pressure on artists and they will see that this is the future. Sorry if I may appear rude.. It's getting late and I'm tired.Keep going guys you're doing a great job. But please fix this asap. I'm starting to have a lot of songs that are not on spotify :( And no I don't want to reinstall the iphone app. I don't want to loose my preferences and have to sync my 10gb songs all over again. (Yes I only use spotify localy, I don't have an 'unlimited' data package). Bye :) and as Bon Jovi would say.. ♫♫♫ Have a nice day! ♫♫♫

Until just recently, connection between iPhone app and Windows (7) app has worked fine. I've been able to sync local files to my mobile device. Since two-three weeks ago it hasn't worked. Some Windows updates have been installed and Spotify app has been upgraded. I know I'm on same WiFi and that the iPhone has memory space for the sync, and I'm doing the exact same procedure as always before. I've also tried on both my jobs WiFi and at home. Any ideas?

Local files won't sync/download

I'm making this question because all the guides I've found are horribly outdated. I have some songs I want to be able to listen on my phone, so I moved them to my local files, created a playlist to test it (because I've seen it's the only way to do this, but that's okay) and the playlist does appear on my phone:
http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o638/lawraWeltreich/uqxLbE9NxZbRzLqqIq9Tgby7QOK77aJT-32hHMUUqtE_zpsgpoth1rk.png bue when I open the playlist and attempt to sync/download it, it's greyed out and nothing happens: http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o638/lawraWeltreich/lPIJUpEORUYcnRaulgyEwtSfJdjrNa3vSN1dmgbzZ-A_zpsp77dk7lf.png I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or the feature to sync local files to my phone is no longer implemented. either way an aswer would be greatly appreciated.
----------------------------------------------------------- EDIT1:
on my computer this is all I see. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I'm not seeing something http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o638/lawraWeltreich/Sin%20tiacutetulo_zpsph8untuo.png AGAIN, an answer, ANY answer, is all I want. If the feature is been removed, or if this is a known issue, or if there's a workaround, it's OKAY. I just want an answer so I can stop investing my time in this. I can always just move the mp3 files to my SD card but I would prefer to be able to use Spotify for this.

Okay, so this is how I do it:I have one or more songs in my local files tab in the Spotify Desktop AppI select these songs, then I right click them, and I select "Make a new playlist"I save the playlist, and then I go over to my phone and open the app, to see that playlist I've just created (Your problem here could be that you disabled the Automatic Sync in the Android Settings, therefore your device won't ask the Spotify servers if you had made a new playlist on your desktopI click on the playlist, then I turn the "Available offline" switchNot so short after, the song(s) are on my phone. As far as I know, this is the only way to have your own music from your computer on your phone, you have to download it.EDIT: You might want to wait some time after you turned the switch to on. My phone keeps saying "Awaiting for download" when I turn it on, because some of my songs are not on Spotify and my computer somehow uploads them, and it's weird and I don't know how or why, but it works.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

Firefox Sync transfers bookmarks to local files ("file:" scheme) (probably it shouldn't)

Firefox Sync transfers local files' links ("file:" URI scheme)

just an update... this is really starting to freak me out for sure. I've just had another InDesign file I created this morning disappear from my local folder on my mac. It actually is lost now as Time Machine doesn't have reference to it, so I have to recreate it again...
The only thing I can think of that seemed out of the ordinary is I got a 'Sync failed' message this morning and I noticed my synced fonts not working (only got 2 but I really needed them for an update to a project - so that gave me a scare as well). Anyway it seemed to get back on track but it was just after I created this file.
This is really making me think of ditching the file sync thing. Any response from someone in the know would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Sync songs from iCloud as well as local files in iTunes?

I am using iCloud match to access my music library.
I have some mp3 files that are deemed "ineligible" by Apple for uploading to iCloud. These files are on my PC and in iTunes. I can play them on my PC.
How do I use iCloud as well as sync/upload local files in iTunes to my iDevices (3Gs, iPad3)?
Now, if I go into the Music" tab of my device in iTunes, I just see "iTunes Match is on" message and there seems to be no way to mix-n-match files from iCloud and local files on my PC.
PS: Bonus question: What happens when I exceed the 25000 track limit for iCloud Match? Then I'll have files in iCloud as well as on my PC, in iTunes, that I'll want to sync and listen to .... How do I do that?
Aloke

I figured it out looking through some similar questions. Went to "File, Add Folder to File" and then selected the "Music" folder above.
