Exclaimation Points "!" next to most of my music in iTunes - not syncing

I am trying to move everything to a new compture. I copied my music folders over, reinstalled iTunes. When I sync with my iPod Nano, says cannot locate origional files. I try to add folders where my music is located. Does not help. ??
Tammie!

This exact thing happened to me. When it says "would you like to locate the file" click yes. You will have to find each individual file, and it takes a very long time. I think it has something to do with the organization of the itunes music folder.

  • Why will my music from iTunes not sync to my iPad?

    I tried to drag music from my library to the iPad and the music files are all in grey. I've have reconnected the iPad but they still will not show. I have also restarted my iPad and computer. All songs and playlist from iTunes are there but are all greyed out. All music synced fine to my iPhone and iPod touch. HELP?!

    I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8. Don't know if that helps?

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Have you authorized your new computer: Store>Authorize this Computer?

  • Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

    10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Does "!" next to my ringtone explain why it will not sync back into my phone although it is in my library on my computer?

  • HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

    i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

    I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician.  At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder.  All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again.  I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS.   What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems?  Reboot!   It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer.  I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps 

  • Selling music in iTunes (not USA)

    Hello, what I need to do if I wanna sell music in iTunes (I'm from Poland and it's hard to get tax id)? Is it any broker of tax id?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello,
    From the best of my knowledge if you are a non-US citizen or corporate repesentative, the only way to apply for an EIN is through telephone (because it requires a social security number in order to apply an EIN ONLINE)
    I am a non-US citizen and would like to sell and distribute music through iTune, I have no problem in regards to obtain a US tax ID from the IRS.
    However, the thing I don't get is what will happen after I got a US tax ID? does that mean the revenue I generated through iTune is taxable in the US? I am not a book publisher, there is no royalty payment need to be made, or royalty earnings that's required for APPLE to report to the IRS. In such case, what's the tax%? 
    I've gone through several discussions regarding to this issue, but it seems that most of the content providers (music or books) are in the US treaty position and therefore eligible for a tax return, but for me there's none.
    Any suggestions?

  • IOS5/Itunes 5 sync issues - music greyed out, not syncing across

    Hello,
    I am having issues syncing music from iTunes to my iphone and ipad. I use autofill, but have had the same issue when using the sync all music option. All the files are listed in the music tab under the device, but half are greyed out and unplayable on the device (they are greyed out on the device too). There is a sync icon next to the files, but clicking on it does nothing.... I did a clean restore to ios5 and it copied my apps over, but none of my music, pictures etc. This is really annoying can anyone help?
    IOS5 GM
    Itunes 5

    I have been fighting this problem with both my iPhone, my partner's, and my nephew's. It seems to have something to do with music purchased in iTunes vs. music that is ripped, since all my ripped music transfers fine and stays put.
    On the other hand, downloaded content shows up doubled (one black, one grey) when I look at my music through the iTunes, just like that screen cap. As long as there's a "black copy" showing, it plays fine on my iPhone 4s, but I find I have to remove the greyed out copies manually and then manually transfer from my iTunes library or from the purchased option on the phone itself. In other words, if the music on the phone in only greyed out copies, and it's not on the phone, it doesn't transfer manually unless I first delete the greyed out versions. -- And then the greyed out versions magically reappear after it contacts the cloud and backs up.
    I also sometimes end up with doubled copies, and my albums don't all sort the way they should -- so for example some Diane Schuur shows up under the artist name, and some shows up under albums. To put it all together I had to make a playlist, which is stupid.
    Finally, there are some 46 items it tries to sync everytime I do any wi fi syncing of anything with my phone. I have no idea what that is.
    I'm tempted to wipe and let all iTunes content be restored from the iCloud, a process that would require an overnight restore. I'm guessing that might solve the problem, but why should it all be this hard? Does Apple look at these comments, because I notice there are several different threads on this site concerning the music app and the iTunes/syncing issue?

  • Itunes not syncing my music to ios7 devices

    Before I had iOS7 on my iPhone 4, I had all my music saved up and I was a happy person. But when I updated my phone, I could not sync any music into it. I called apple to see if they could help, but no they couldn't because my phone was "too old" so I left it that way and am now using my itouch, which still has iOS6 and i have NO PROBLEM syncing music into it. Well today I got a brand new iPad mini and I am having the same problem! I have been going through forums about having to reset it (which I have done) and having to change all these different settings. NOTHING WORKS. So what I am asking is that if anyone is having the same problem. I am about to do something about this because I am not willing to have an iPad that is unable to sync music. I AM DONE WITH THIS NONSENSE.

    Ok, well at this point, if you have gone through the 5 R's and tried other things and it's not working then the best thing for you to do is return the ipod for an exchange (if it's still in the exchange policy timeframe based on where ever you purchased it) or contact Apple for a warranty exchange.
    Sorry nothing else worked for you.

  • HT4623 ios7 has removed ALL my music. Will not sync

    Upgraded? to IOS7 and have now lost ALL my Music from my iPhone 4S.
    It will not sync the selected music lists in my itunes library that was on the phone in IOS6!
    Help please?

    I have just run into the same problem with my iphone 4s. The update has somehow added over 800 songs to my iphone that were never there to start with. It has strangely taken most of my husbands music choices (all in the same itunes program with my music) and added them to my phone.
    I tried deleting them manually via the phone but it just wont let me. It just keeps flipping through the songs like it thinks I want to see whats available. The only way to stop it scrolling was to close down the music app.
    I also tried deleting them via itunes and although itunes tells me (via the usage bar at the bottom of the screen) that I have no music on my iphone the music is all still there.
    I am now also trying the system restore as I can't see any other way to fix it. Why is it always so hard with these phones??
    I am looking forward to the end of this phone contract so that I can finally go get a Samsung. I'm over the eternal iphone problems and friends with other brand smartphones do not go through this much pain over and over again. It's just not worth it.
