Help, I can't sync music to my new iphone 4S

I just got a replacement iphone and upgraded to a 4S (from a 4).  Everything else synced just fine, even my podcasts!  But not my music?  Can someone please help?

Check these items:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
Authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
Check "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
After all these look correct, try syncing your phone.

  • HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

    I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes.  Bad mistake!!  I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
    Can your have two phones one Itunes??  Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch??  If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

    You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

  • I can't add music to my new iphone 5.

    So I can't add any music to my new iphone 5. When I have dragged all the music I want to my iphone, it's all greyed out and wont play it. I have also tried to check the box in "sync all music".
    Thanks.

    Is it purchased music? If so, have you tried logging in to the App store from the phone using your Apple ID? Sometimes it needs a kickstart to know that the phone is authorized by using the ID and password from the phone.

  • ITunes won't sync music to my new iPhone 6

    So I recently got the iPhone 6, and for some reason I can't sync my music from iTunes. Every time I try to sync it says my computer is unauthorized for the account. I've tried deauthorizing it many times, as well as deauthorizing the other computers that use this same account in the house. Still, the same message comes up every time. It's really frustrating because I need music on my phone, I use it all the time. I even went to the Apple store but the guy didn't know what was wrong. I've tried a lot of things in the past few days, so a solution would be so greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried reauthorizing all your computers at once? There is a link which allows you to reauthorize all of them at once.

  • Sync music error msg/ new iPhone

    just got a new iPhone 4; trying to sync music from iTunes and receive message that it is already synced with another library; how can it be synced with any other library when it is new
    note: bought first one and had a problem, had to return; this is the replacement; had no trouble syncing apps and music to the first one.  what am I doing wrong?  something to do with the sync to first phone?

    i read lots of suggestions and tried a few things but what seemed to work for me was clicking on Autofill on the iTunes [this iPhone] sync page.

  • HT201272 I changed my apple ID and password because my credit card was hacked. Now the apps that I purchased with the old ID cannot be updated, nor can I sync them to my new iPhone. Is there a way I can retrieve apps that I purchased?

    I have a different apple ID and password and now I am unable to sync my apps to my new iPhone. How can I retrieve some of the apps that I purchased using the old ID?

    Go to Settings>Store (or iTunes and Appl Store) and sign out and sign back in. If problem go to Settings>iCloud and make sure you are signed into the new iCloud account. You may have to create a new iCloud account.

  • Why doesn't my iTunes content show in Library? Also, How can I sync music purchased on my iPhone to my PC's iTunes Library?

    I have been having several annoying problems with iTunes for the past several months...
    1) Library content not showing after folder relocation:
    First, in order to free up space on my C drive, I wanted to relocate my iTunes folder to a new 1TB hard drive (F) I installed. I did so according to Apple's instructions online, but despite setting the new location to be my library in my iTunes preferences, the content never shows up in the iTunes Library in the actual application. This is my most annoying problem, so please someone help me to resolve this! Thanks.
    2) Albums purchased on iPhone 5 only sometimes sync with PC
    I have purchased a few albums on my iPhone 5 and only some of them have synced to my PC when I connect my iPhone via USB. They don't even appear under the "Purchases" playlist in the iTunes Store. So, I have content right now on my iPhone that I can only access via my iPhone, and some of the music has gone missing. One or two tracks from albums are not there despite me purchasing full albums at a time... This is also pretty dang annoying and prevents me from trying a solution I'd looked up to fix my third problem...
    3) Album artwork mixed up/mismatched on iPhone 5
    This is pretty self-explanatory. Ony day my album artwork decided to play musical chairs. So now, for example, it shows Andrew W.K.'s bloody face when I listen to Zedd, and shows Skrillex when I listen to Symphony X. I read online that if you desync your content on you iPhone so that none of the music is there any longer, and then resync content from your computer, it will fix this issue. I'm hesitant to apply this solution until I can fix the ones above though, because I don't want to lose content that I have legally paid for.
    My final problem:
    4) Apple charges $20 for a support phone call for iTunes
    Seriously, WTH? I hope the community can help me out. Thanks all!

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Can't sync music, TV shows to iPhone or iPad

    Have the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. Latest version of iOS on iPhone 5 and iPad mini 6.0.2. Latest version of iTunes 11.0.1, on an Imac 21.5 (brand new) 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 Gigs of Ram, Fusion 1 TB drive.
    When I try to sync either device my music, movies and  TV show as Zero items. If I sync either device it appears, until I get a solution, that I will lose
    on my devices all my music movies and TV shows.
    Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated.

    When you connect the Ipod, go to the "TV Shows" tab. It is defaulted to not sync TV shows (and movies in that tab). Click sync all and then make sure you click apply. Try to re-sync after that. You may have already done that, but I thought trying the basics might help!

  • Can't sync music to my new iPod

    I have a new iPod classic and am trying to sync my music to iTunes.  It won't sync any of my songs, and I get the following error message:  "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod because no songs in your iTunes library can be copied to this iPod."

    I assume these tracks play okay in iTunes?
    You can always convert them to another format and then sync the new formatted version over to your iPod.

  • HT1386 Why can't I sync music to my new iPhone 5?

    I had a large music library synced to my iPhone 3GS. I've now upgraded to an iPhone 5 but, when I try to sync this phone, the "Music" page is blank" except for the note iTunes Match is On. I know I can download songs from the cloud, but to download everything I want will take forever: why can't I just synbc from my computer as I used to do with my old phone?

    OK, I found the answer here:

  • Can't sync old apps to new iphone

    I have got an iphone 4s to replace a faulty iphone 4. When I got the new one I did restore as (old name) My old apps appear on screen in itunes ...
    But despite attempting to sync they won't go to my new phone. What am i doing wrong?

    In iTunes, when you select your phone, you should see a tab for Apps.  Check the Sync Apps box on that page.  If you don't have many apps, you can also download directly to your phone by opening the App Store, tap Updates, and then Purchased (at top of screen).

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
