Help! My Music Wont Sync to my iPhone 5

I have recently updated my phone to iOS7 but in order to get the update i had to delete some of my music for space. I deleted all my music by accident and it was not backed up. I went home and attempted to get my music from my iTunes library but to my surprise even though i was clicking sync the music still wasn't on my phone. What should I do?

That message means that the music file was deleted from your computer, it was moved to someplace else on your computer, or you have a defective hard disk on your computer. The iTunes Library file is an index to your music; the actual music is in files on your computer. If a file is deleted or moved the iTunes Library won't "know" it until you try to play or sync the track.

  • My updated playlists wont sync on my iPhone, help!

    my updated playlists wont sync on my iPhone. Nothing new will sync on my phone coming from itunes.

    Hello, I was able to get the greyed out circles to stop by updating to the newest software for the phone and itunes. I'm sure you have already tried that though. However, I now have a new problem. Itunes shows certain albums on the phone in the window but they don't appear on the phone at all. They even play on iTunes from the phone. Were you able to find a solution to your problem? I'd really appreciate some help as this is getting old...

  • HT201269 I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
    "Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    "Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
    I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

  • TS3999 My calendar on my iPad wont sync into my iPhone 5 calendar, please help

    My calendar on my iPad wont sync into my iPhone 5 calendar, please help

    You did understand and yes you suppose to sign in with the same account, that you told me you checked and found the same. If you can't sign in, which is hard to imagine after your description and it gives you that message. That would really mean that no icloud account with your credentials have been created.
    1. Lets try to get to that site again. www.icloud.com. Should be a black page with sign in fields. Once you sign in you should see 7 icons, one of them being your calendars.
    2 Open those and follow previous directions.
    OOOOO Do it on the computer. NOT AN IPAD OR PHONE. Those can't get there.

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

  • Music not syncing correctly to iPhone 5.

    I am having a very weird issue with iTunes/ my iPhone 5. I will use an album by Good Charlotte as an example. I can play the song "The River" in iTunes and it plays just fine, start to finish. But once the music is synced to my iPhone, it appears in the music area as expected. But, when I play "The River", around 2 minutes into the song, it will switch to another song, but still show "The River" at 2 minutes as if it is still playing, but a different song is playing. I have tried restoring my phone to factory settings and re-syncing the music to the phone, but this has not helped. It is not only Good Charlotte, I have found about 5 other artists that this happens to on my iPhone regularly. I know it is the syncing process that is causing the problem. I deleted the music from my phone, and re-downloaded them directly from the cloud to my phone and it got rid of the problem. I can't do this with all of the music I am having the problem with because there are MANY songs this is happening with and not all are in the cloud.

    I have just started to have trouble playing my playlists on the iPhone. It started to shuffle them and when I turned shuffle off, it would only play one song over and over again.  You have to open the iPod and manually advance to the next song.  That is obviously unsatifactory.  I downloaded the update on the iTunes software today.  That did not correct the problem.  I also restored the settings on the phone.  It wtill will not play a playlist in the order I have it.  There is some problem here.  I would also be happy to hear a reply on this issue. 

  • My music wont sync music to my ipod due to multiple libraries

    My music wont sync to my ipod because of mmusic i've gotten on different computers
    please help

    Solutions that I can think of (if I understand correctly)
    A.)Check "manually manage music" and then drag the songs you want onto your iPod.
    PROBLEMS: If you use this you will have to manually eject your iPod every time you connect it. If you don't know what I mean, DO NOT check "manually manage music" Also, when you rate things on your iPod with this option on, the ratings will not transfer to the computer, and the rated songs will not move in/out of smart playlists on your iPod. Last, you will obviously have to manually manage your music.
    B.)Copy all music to one computer.
    PROBLEMS:This will eat up space on your hard drive. Also, if you have used up all of the computers that you are allowed to play your music on, you will not be able to play them.
    If this was not what you were asking, I'm sorry, I put what I understood.

  • Purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmark

    purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

    If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
    Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

    After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

  • I was gifted an album for my birthday. It wont sync with my iPhone

    I was gifted an album for my birthday by my husband, but it wont sync with my iPhone. Is there something I'm missing??

    Have you downloaded the Album successfully into your iTunes library?
    If so, there is no new magic trick and the Songs should sync - it is often worthwhile restarting computer and phone from power off state - signing out and back into iTunes Store - this tends to cure most small glitches.

    my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • Music wont sync ios7 - iphone 4S

    I have the latest version of iTunes & iOS7.0.2 on my iPhone 4S.
    iTunes shows 'Step 5 of 5' waiting for changes to be applied, but never moves on.
    I tried to add some new songs to my phone and now all my songs wont play on the device. They work fine in iTunes on my Macbook.

    Hi dustymcmusty,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

  • My iTunes wont sync to my iPhone its not even reading it like I have it hooked up to my computer plz help

    My iTunes won't sync to my iPhone its not even reading it like I have it hooked up to my computer

    Hey there 2Chainz,
    It sounds like youre being prompted that there is not enough space. I would use the following article to help resolve the issue named:
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
