First time syncing my iPhone six plus to iTunes a number of albums and songs do not play

After syncing my iPhone six plus to iTunes (11.4.0.18) a number of my playlists show up on the phone but they have no songs. If i look for the album it shows the album with all the songs but they are greyed out and cannot be played.
On the original sync I chose the "Entire music library" option. I have since tried to manually select each song and sync with no success.
HELP !!!

You can erase all content on the iPhone by going to settings>general>erase all content and settings
If you do not want to lose all the data on your iPhone you'll have to manually delete the stuff off the iPhone you don't want.
Go into the summary page of your phone in iTunes and untick the syncing options etc.
If you no longer have the iPod and don't want any of the content from it you can delete the backup from your computer and it will forget you ever had it

    trying to sync new iPhone 6 plus with Itunes on PC

    Good.  I hope it's going well!
    If not, you should know you need a recent copy of iTunes on your computer.
    You should also check out the iPhone Manual:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.1
    Otherwise, if you are looking for help, it would be good if you told us exactly what your issues are.  What do you see?  What happens (or does not happen)?

  • I bought a song on itunes on my mac yesterday and it won't play on my iPhone

    I purchased a track on iTunes via my mac yesterday and it will not play on my iPhone 6. In fact, it doesn't even show up in my music library on the phone when I sync it with my iTunes, yet everything else is fine. Any help would be great..

  • My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

    My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
    The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
    My question is:
    If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
    Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    This never happened before, however the last couple of months it comes up every time I plug my USB from PC to iphone.

    HyperNova Software,
    Thank you so much.  Because I am very computer illiterate, could you help me on how to get started?  I don't have the slightest on where to get started, the steps to follow, etc.
    Can't thank you enough for your help!

  • HT1296 i have an ipad with many application, will the first time sync erase all the data?

    i have an ipad with many application installed on it, will the first time sync with itunes erase all the installed applications on the device?

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

  • First time sync/backing up taking LONG time..

    I have a 3.1 iPhone, which I have never synced with my computer. It sounds silly, i know, but it's because i only use it for work email and games for my kids. We don't use it for music, etc. so i really have never had a reason to sync it.
    Well, this past xmas, we got an ipad so i'm trying to sync my iphone so i can get to itunes the paid games so that I can also get them on my ipad. I'm understanding now that i don't really need to do that to get paid apps to my ipad device, because it should recognize my itunes id and know that already.
    So...i'm still trying to sync my iphone for the very first time anyway so i can get the latest version of 4.2 and the backup is taking a VERY long time. Last night it was 15 hours and it was only 3/4 a way through. So, now I am following this helpful discussion link:
    http://blog.jhong.org/2008/08/does-your-iphone-take-forever-to.html
    but the backup seems to still be taking a long time. Are pictures potentially a problem? When the picture scanner came on asking me where to save pictures, I canceled out, so i'm assuming that pictures aren't even being backed up. Should i expect that first time i'm backing up/syncing is going to take a really really long time like i'm experiencing.
    And for anyone who has tried the advice in the above link, have they experienced continued delay in backing up, which the link was supposed to help alleviate?
    Sorry, if this is confusing but any help would be appreciated.

    The camera roll does back up to the backup file though it is HIGHLY recommended that you take them off on regular basic. the camera roll is meant as a temp location like any digital camera. If you want photos on your phone you sync them back to their own albums thus iTunes doesn't have to back them up because it knows they are on your computer already that you should be backing up yourself.
    The more pics, the longer the backup as the iOS and the camera roll are sort of separate.
    You can click the X next to where it says backing up and it will stop and move on to next step of taking stuff off and syncing.

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

    I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
    The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
    If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
    I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
    The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
    Operating system = Windows XP
    iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
    iTunes version = 7.0.2
    External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
    iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
    Podcast subscriptions = none
    HP desktop   Windows XP   See posting

    There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

  • Notes does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air

    The Notes app does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air. These used to sync before when I had an iPhone 4. I have been trying to troubleshoot this for about an hour now, so all the basics such as deciding on a default Notes account, to turning on and off iCloud functions for both devices, as well as signing out of of my apple account on both devices, then back in. Nothing seems to be working - is this a fault in the current iOs?? It's driving me nuts.

    You can't pair iOS devices.
    that's not how continuity works.
