Computer won't sync all of my music?

I got a new latop (HP) and I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my phone (4s). The only music that showed up in my iTunes library was the music purchased on my phone. The rest of the music that i bought on my old computer won't show up.

An iPad is designed to only be synced to one a computer at a time, so if you are changing the computer that you will be syncing it to then see if this user-tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

    iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

    Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.

  • IOS 6 won't sync all of my music!

    Today, I upgraded my iPod touch 4th Gen. to iOS6 and now all of my music won't sync! Out of 995 songs, only 15 synced! I've tried to fix it, but so far nothing has worked! Is there a solution?

    I have some suggestions.
    1. Make sure the track, artist or album titles don't have special characters anywhere such as:  / < ~ etc...
    2. In iTunes right click and select 'Create MP3 Version'
    3. deselect the track(s) that are not syncing and perform a sync. Then reselect track(s) and sync again
    Since your having problems with so many songs... you might want to try this on just a handfull to ensure it works.
    Just trying to help as this fixed my problem.

I don't know wether to assume that there is a problem with my laptop or my iPod touch. Please help! My musical life is at stake

  • ITunes won't sync all my purchased music to my iPhone 4

    The music that was purchased on my iPhone was erased from my phone, but it's still on iTunes. When I try to sync it back to my phone, the playlist "Purchased from my iPhone" is listed is there but none of the music is there. It's not in my library either. I checked the box to sync it but nothing works, and the rest of my music is still on my phone. Please help!

    replying to aissy55
    It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
    hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

  • Won't sync all music

    My Nano won't sync all the music in my library. I get an error message saying the songs cannot be found, but they are all listed in my playlists. There are 100 songs that won't sync. I had to move my Ipod from my laptop to my desk top.

    OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.
    If your music won't download from iTunes to your iPod because it is not 'authorised' see if this helps.
    Go to the album or song that is not 'authorising'. Select it and push play. It should ask you for authorisation or a username and password. Put in your username and password, it should then go to iTunes store and it will now be authorised.
    Be careful not to make the same mistake that I made and have multiple iTunes Store accounts. Mainly because I think it creates these problems on transfer of your library and secondly because you may not remember the password. If you forget the password, then simply get iTunes store to resend it. The only problem may be if your email account no longer exists. Mine does, so not sure what happens if it doesn't.
    This in itself may not fix the problem either. I noticed on the left hand side of the music library, met to the song names etc, the '!" symbol in the column. This will also prevent it copying to your iPod. I am not technical, but it seems it lost the file path in transfer. Just double click the song and it will ask you if you want to find the path. Click yes and then search through iTunes library until you find the song. Double click the song and bingo you should now be able to transfer the music.
    It took less time for me to finish by Business Degree, but its the only way I found to get around all the authorisation problems
    Hope this helps

    On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!

    The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
