Homeshared songs won't sync!!

Hi, so recently a member of my family bought an album on iTunes. I imported it to my iTunes library using Homeshare and tried to get it onto my iPad Mini... to no avail.. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've done this many times before with no issues! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
yebbut (Yeah, I really want to change my user name )
P.S I am using a Macbook Pro for iTunes

My songs won't sync to my iPhone. Please help.

So I transfered all my songs from my PC to my MacBook via HomeSharing. I hook up my iPhone to my Mac and all my songs won't sync. Only 100 songs have synced. This is a really frustrating situation. I have tried everything. I have made sure that "Sync entire library" is checked, I have rebooted my phone, restarted my computer, everything! This really needs to be fixed. It's impossible how there is a problem like this.

hey I got one too and I was able to get throught he first part by shutting down the firewall. make sure you're offline.

All of a sudden selected songs won't sync to iphone

I've never had a problem syncing my itunes library to my iphone but today when i synced, about 100 songs won't sync and it says "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Song name', were not copied to the iphone "iPhone" because you're not authorized to play them on this computer." What went wrong? How can I fix this?

Sounds like you may have deauthorized your account. Just play one of the problem songs in iTunes, or reauthorize your computer for your iTunes account. Should fix the problem.

My songs won't sync, next to the name on my ipad there is a stop like it stopped syncing

My songs won't sync, next to the name on my ipad there is a stop like it stopped syncing. Someone please help!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

IPod touch won't update,certain songs won't sync...I'm even trying to restore my iPod and that won't even work. Help!

So I have an iPod 4th generation. I've been having problems downloading certain songs...I download my songs from youtube converter and all my other songs I have synced just fine. But there are about 10 songs that won't download,yes I have tried to convert them to AAC or whatever that is,and it seems like that won't work either. I thought maybe it isn't working because I haven't updated my iPod from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3,I try updating and it tells me Error,this ipod could not be updated error 3194...I ask around for questions as to why that isn't working and they tell me to restore. I try to restore on my computer and I get ANOTHER message saying This iPod cannot be restored error 3194.
Yes I've reinstalled iTunes and everything else.
Yes I've tried restoring and updating for a different computer but on the other computer it couldn't detect my iPod...
I'm having sooo many problems...help! I really do like my iPod touch but it seems to have a lot of problems

HT1351 Songs won't sync properly and I don't know how to fix it. Help!

I keep trying to sync my music to my iPhone but some of the songs aren't uploading properly and when trying to listen to them, my phone will just skip over them and they won't play. When looking at the songs on my playlists they show up as gray and there is a red square with a circle around it like it is syncing. Also iTunes won't sync any of my playlists anymore even though it says, on my iTunes account, that they are uploaded to my phone. What should I do?

I have the same issue: my playlists are not showing up on my iphone. The old playlist are there and the music is there but the playlists will not update. I'm hoping someone has an answer?

Downloaded song won't sync to iphone, needs to be converted

I bought a song on iTunes and it downloaded to my iTunes, but it won't sync to my iPhone, the message states that the song needs to be converted. How do I do that?
Thanks

Update: seems to not be linked to just a song. Un-syncing any one of apps, songs, etc. creates the error on the last step of the sync. Still no error code, but seems to stem from a copy activity of some sort from a purchase made on the phone. Went away briefly when I sync'd the mac with the 'purchased' list in iTunes.

What if a certain song won't sync into itunes

I have song on my iphone that won't sync into itunes for some reason!!...and I don't know what to do.

itunes still sells the track as a song, so obviously you can.

Select songs won't sync

Some songs I bought on iTunes won't sync with my iPod nano. I bought the Children of Men soundtrack, and of the 10 songs I picked from the album to upload, only 3 of them will play. The others appear, but when I try to play them, they get skipped over without playing. Anyone had a similiar experience and ideas on how to fix it? Do I need to redownload the songs?

Try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?

I've tried everything and NOTHING works... At first I had those stupid dotted circles next to every song. I restored it to original settings(as told by apple support), then re-synced everything and the songs started downloading and I was ecstatic. But then about half the songs were playable and the other half had the red circle with square inside. I was also told it will take awhile for them fully download considering I have somany songs. I waited over 12 hours with the ipod still connected and nothing changed.
I then saw that someone else on this posted and said to uncheck 'sync songs', sync the device, then click on sync songs and re-sync it, but then that resorted back to where I first started, back to every song having those dotted circles next to them.
I've contacted apple about this issue numerous time and it just seems like they have no idea what they're doing. They were really nice and tried to help as much as they could, but in the end they were absolutely no help and the problem still existed. If anyone could please help me, I'd gladly appreciate it. I have no what to do anymore besides buy a new iPod, and I'd rather not over a stupid problematic thing like this.
I started a new discussion because no one was replying to the older ones anymore.
Every single song is like and they won't sync.... It is frustrating me so much. I listen to music constantly through-out my day and It annoys me that I hjave to stay at the computer to listen to them. Just a few weeks ago everything was all peachy and worked. In the past weeks I've updated to iOS 7.0.2 and then iOS 7.0.3 the other day. I sometimes wish I hadn't updated to iOS 7, because I never had an issue like this before in the past 10 years of me owning and Apple iPod.

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Some songs won't sync from iTunes to iPhone

Ok, so I have had the 4S for some time now, and I am really beginning to be frustrated with the fact I can't sync all of my music. It's almost as if anything I purchased prior to getting the 4s (had 3GS prior) will not transfer over. I have tried syncing all music, removing everything, restoring, and nothing works. iTunes allows me to play the music, and it syncs fine with my iPod with no issues. No matter what I try about 200 of the 500 songs I am trying to sync are actually on my iPohone, yet all of them are on the iPod just fine. I have plenty of room on the iPhone, and I receive no errors (even reset warnings just in case it was something I previously shut off) when trying to sync to indicate they won't be there. In fact the "Capacity" bar shows the space it should take up, then after I sync and go back the space is cut in half.
No one has been able to help, can anyone please help! The songs its deciding not to include are some of my favorite...to the point I bought two of them a second time

If these earlier songs were purchased with a different Apple ID, you might try on your phone going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using this earlier ID. Do the same with iTunes on your computer (signing into the iTunes store with this earlier ID). For good measure, restart your computer and your phone, then try syncing the music to see if it will transfer now. If it does, you can to back and reset your Apple IDs the way they were before.

ipod-

Just so you know...if you do indeed have a mini (and are not confusing it with a Nano) then you have post in the wrong forum. This is the 2nd gen nano forum and if you do have a Nano you're still in the wrong forum since you stated that yours is over a year old and the 2nd gen is not a year old yet.
See if this article offers any assistance.
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod

1 song won't sync from itunes to my iphone

Ok, long story short. Today in the car I went to play a song and it started half way thru the song, then when I started the song from the beginning, it skipped to the next song half way thru. So I came home and deleted the song, and imported it again. It it in my itunes library, along with my music folder on my macbook, but when I try to sync it to my iphone.....nothing!! It doesnt sync or anything. Any suggestions?? I tried to change the format, and import it again, now I'm lost.....

go to the app store on your phone and purchase the app again on your phone... a box will come up saying that you have already purchased the app and if you would like to download it click ok
then it will download and install on your phone

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:

How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Replacing the missing playlist should sort things out but if problems persist then have a look at this troubleshooting page for the 1428 error: Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

Certain songs won't sync

Iphone 5s. Just changed to a new computer. All of the songs are in the Library and in the correct play list. They are also recognized and playing via Apple TV. However, around 60 songs, most of which are recent purchses, will not sync to the Iphone. They appear in the playlist with the "cloud" symbol next to them but will not download when I attempt to do that even one song at a time. When I turn Wifi off, they disappear from the palylist entirely. I have tried many of the suggestions in other strings with no success. Appears to be some kind of Apple glitch that others are experiencing as well?
I have deleted all music, changed manual settings on Summary page, etc. During the sync process, Itunes recognizes the correct number of songs but they dont function from the Iphone. Out of ideas.........
