HT1209 Some songs no longer play on iphone, but are fine in itunes library... Help!

Songs i purchased from itunes months ago play fine on my computer in itunes, but are no longer playing on my iphone. they appear in the playlist, but won't play. i took all the music off my phone and synced all over again, and they still won't play. I don't know why only about a dozen songs are affected. they were purchased at different times since last summer. I recently experienced the "lost contacts" issue and had to restore my phone from backup. could that have something to do with this?

Are these songs purchased from the iTunes store, or from your own cds?
Been through these?

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

Music plays on iPad but not iPod and iTunes library

I have recently purchased music off of iTunes and some of the songs won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes library but they will play on my iPad. I am not sure how to fix this. I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and deauthorized and reauthorized my computer, but nothing so far has helped. Has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Actually, now they won't play on my iPad either.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

Some songs no longer exist on ipod, but do on itunes

Hello,
I don't know when it started (maybe 6 months), but my iPod doesn't syncronize as well as before. Now, some songs that I could see and listen before no longer exist. Of course, they still appear on iTunes. My albums are incomplete. I've tried to restore my iPod by using the option on iTunes, but unfortunately did not work.
I do not what I can do. I do need help.

Some songs don't sync! iPhone 5 (ios7.0.2), iTunes 11.1.1

Last week I tried to sync my iphone and iTunes said I had to install the latest version to do so.
After I installed the 11.1.1, some songs don't sync with the iPhone.
On the 'on this iPhone' tab on iTunes it shows this same songs with a circle before the name, and they are grey, not black as the ones that are on the iPhone.
I've tried to find out what's wrong, even wondered if I did something to mess this up, but I can't figure it out.
Help? Anyone?
The 'on this iPhone' list look like this:

Hello Laura,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone.
I recommend trying to resync. You can resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:
I recommend reviewing the full article here:

Some music videos appear twice on my iPhone but not in my iTunes library. How can I resolve this?

Hello everyone.
I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and I am using the latest version of iTunes 10.5
I have downloaded three music videos by the same artist. The three videos appear in my Music library in iTunes
On my iPhone two of the videos appear twice with the other one appearing once as it should do. I have played all of these videos and they work fine. It is just annoying that two out of the three music videos I have are listed twice on my iPhone.
Would anyone be able to help me resolve this issue?
Thank you.

In the iTunes Store click Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

Songs dont show up on iPhone but show up on iTunes?

I had 486 songs last night, and when I checked this morning, I had 403 songs on my phone.
All songs still show up on my computer and ITunes, and it even says that my phone has those 83 songs, but I cant make them appear ON my phone.
Can anyone help me?

But Im scared to unsync because some of my songs on itunes have these grey exclamation marks that say file not found, but strangely most of the songs that do have those marks are still there.
And its weird, because they seem to have deleted songs randomly. I have complete albums with just 1 or 2 songs missing or an entire album gone.
I tried restarting 3 times, but nothing happened.
Please, Im desperate.

Songs not showing on 30gig iPod, but are showing on iTunes when attached

Hello. My iPod has about 5.25 gig of music, video and podcasts loaded. It was working fine. I connected it to my computer to charge and the next time I tried to use it, nothing is showing up on the iPod itself. However, when I reconnect it to my computer, the iPod shows up under Source and all of the playlists and songs are there. Also, when I go into Settings > About, it says Songs 0, Videos 0, Photos 0, Capacity 27.8 GB, Available 22.5 GB, Version 1.1.1, model MA146LL. Thanks for any help!

That backup only works if you have the files on the computer not on the ipod. You have the ability to take all the data off of your ipod but it will duplicate everything that is already in the library. To do this follow these steps:
This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process

TV Shows all display under one TV Show on iPhone, but are OK in iTunes

Hi
Ive recently had an issue with my TV Shows where they all collect under 'Family Guy', even though the shows are a mix of House/True Blood/South Park etc. This only appears on the phone, if I go into iTunes, the shows are separated and grouped correctly into their respective shows.
I have tried an iPhone wipe/restore and Ive also made sure that the properties for the files have the correct entries for the programme/series fields etc.
I think this may have started around the 4.2 upgrade, but Im not sure. My next step was going to be a full wipe and setup as a new device, does anyone else have any better ideas?
Thanks

thanks, no I haven't tried either, wasn't aware of the reboot with the menu and down arrow, and didn't think to pull the power. Just pulled the power, and will retransfer movie from Mac back to Apple TV and see if it now works, thanks
Kurt

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer). When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod. Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
