HT1386 Issues With ITunes Sync

For the longest time when I go to sync my phone a selective amount of music just WON'T load onto my phone. I don't know what to do, and it's getting to be extremely bothersome. The only music on my ITunes is music I can't buy on the ITunes store (I'm really good about this), but this isn't the only music that isn't downloading to my phone. Even some of the music that I've purchased won't download, too, and I just CAN'T take it anymore! I have found NO solutions. If it anyone has a solution, help me out?
Thanks,
Liz

The reason for your incomplete syncing may be that the bit rate at which your songs are set are too big. The average and accepted bit rate for an ipod is 128kbps. To check your bit rate go to iTunes and select a song by right clicking on it.
Then click Get Info. There will be multiple tabs, but you want the summary tab.
Under the summary tab it has the bit rate.
Also, a higher bit rate than 128kbps will drastically reduce battery life because it takes so much more power to play the higher quality song.
If you are unfamiliar with bit rates basically the higher it is, the more rich and full the sound, making the iPod use more juice to play more sound in a song.(Sorry if that confused you)
If you find that the bit rate is higher than 128kbps then you need to readjust your songs.

  • Several issues with iTunes syncing

    Okay so I have an iPhone 4s 32GB iOS 6.1.2. an recently purchased a new windows 8 laptop that has iTunes 11 on it. I find several issues and have not been able to resolve so hopefully someone will have some suggestions.
    1. iCloud will not back up contacts
    2. iTunes will only show 11 of my 200+ purchased songs
    3. iTunes sync over wifi shows my old laptop (which I removed before syncing with new computer) but will not show the new laptop.
    4. After I purchased about 5 new songs and a few apps I attempted to sync with iTunes on the new laptop and while all my songs and apps from my last sync are there I cannot get the new items to sync back to iTunes no matter what I do.
    I have turned off iCloud and backed up to iTunes via USB but still nothing is working. I have seen lots of other forum posts here and all over the web but none of the problems or solutions seem to fit my situation exactly. I am hesitant to reset the phone because I dont want to loose my contacts or the new content I have purchased. Any help would be awesome.

    UPDATE. I did a reset and it did remove the old computer from my Wifi Sync screen but now my personal hotspot option is gone, I cannot connect to wifi at all and I still cannot get the phone to sync to iTunes.

  • Having issues with iTunes syncing to iPhone 5...

    Both are up to date, iPhone has 7.0.4 and iTunes 11.1.3. Not all of my songs will sync onto my phone, only 63 out of about 500. Anyone else having this issue? Or solved it? Ahhhhh so frustrating!!! I've tried
    -Turning off my find iPhone
    -Selecting playlists instead of syncing all songs, all songs on playlist still don't show up
    -Restarting phone
    -Restarting my Mac
    -And doing these in about every order you can think of for the past 3 hours
    Help!

    So I had the same problem with what you are having except I have an Iphone 4S but heres what i did to resolve.
    1) Check the box for manually manage your music
    2) Uncheck all songs you want.
    3) Sync
    4) Check all songs you want, after the 1st sync
    5) Sync again but this time with all the music you want checked
    6) Now your inforamtion bar for the GB reading will be weird, dont worry about it. After the sync check all songs on your phone. All should be playable.
    Hope it helps!

  • Iphone4 and windows 8 issue with itunes syncing music

    I am trying to add more songs to my iphone 4.  when i add folder to my library and try to transfer it to the current playlist, it won't let me.

    Is this the computer the device normally syncs with? 
    Is "Manually manage media" enabled?
    iTunes is designed to synce media to the device.  What is described above is not syncing.
    To sync content, connect the device.
    Select the device in the side bar.
    Select the appropriate tab at the top for the type of content to manage.
    Select the content in question desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • Having issues with iTunes sync to iPod (5th gen)

    Ok this is something that is getting rather annoying.
    Every once in a while. When sync anything to my iPod from iTunes. Sometimes iTunes will hang up. Then sync icon on my iPod does show up and spinning.
    However nothing gets sync to the iPod. I then have to close out iTunes. Then restart iTunes. And everything seems to work for a while.
    I to have the current version of iTunes (11.0.4.4.)
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I do have the 64-bit version of iTunes installed.
    I have tried to restart my iPod several times. I don't think that this should have to be done all the time one of the other is not sync. Besides. It don't resolve the issue.
    The iPod has a fully charged battery.
    I have tried different USB ports. Same issue still exists.
    I tired to restart my computer when the issues happens. Again it still happens.
    I have completely uninstall iTunes and then reinstall iTunes back. Nothing has changed.
    I have shut down all 3rd party software. Sync issues still happen.
    I have tied on different computers I have in the house. The issues does happen. Not as often.
    So there it is. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

    Then
    - 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.
    - 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.

  • Issues with itunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (32 Bit) When Trying to sync iphone 4S or older

    I see a lot of people out there, specifically windows OS owners (xp all the way to 7), having issues with iTunes 10.5.  Here are the following issues I've encountered (some may only have one problem, others my have a combo pack of problems).
    1. iphone 4S or older won't sync or backup
    2. iTunes store won't open
    The issue I found after using the diagnostics tool in iTunes (which is useless in identify scripting issues or major communication issues), reviewing the windows event log, and reinstalling all apple software and components, was the fact that my spyware and anti virus software was causing a communication error within apple's software.  I use spyware doctor with anti virus.  I had to uninstall spyware doctor in order for iTunes 10.5 to work.  After that, everything worked well and I did a clean install of spyware doctor.
    If the issue still persists, you might have to reset your internet protocol (TCP/IP).  You have to run a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following: netsh winsock reset
    Visit this Microsoft link for more info about resetting your IP:  support.microsoft.com/kb/299357    
    Finally words:  Apple, like all other software companies, continually encounter software glitches and issues because they don't test products correctly before bringing them to market- this has been a reoccurring theme for the last 2-3 years.  The most important aspect of using any software should be functionality, efficiency, ease of use, and above all "A Positive End User Experience."  Wasn't that Steve Job's mantra?  We can all hope that Apple embraces his philosophy and vision for the many years to come.  This, above all, is not a great start for Apple moving forward without their true inspirational leader. 

    Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hours of frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a sync or tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
    Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
    1.  hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
    2.  when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
    3.  you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode.  Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled."   [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
    4. click Continue to open iTunes.
    You could already have your device connected to your computer or do it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
    Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
    I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure if this is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
    I hope this works.  This may be the workaround for all of us Windows 7 64-bit folks.

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

  • Issues with iTunes Match on iPhone

    I am having some frustrating issues with iTunes Match and my iPhone 4 iOS 5.
    1) When using cellular data (3G), the songs simply do not play from the music app. It works fine when connected to wifi.
    Under settings, cellular data has been enabled for use in the music app.
    2) iTunes match constantly switches off spontaneously on iPhone. I need to go back to the settings to enable it every single time I use the app.
    I feel that iTunes Match was a total waste of money, considering the only reason I invested in it was to have my library accessible from my iPhone.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    iTunes match doesn't work like that and if you don't like it then your best option is to turn it off and go back to syncing. However if you make sure that your device has a good Wi-Fi connection, re-downloading all your content shouldn't really be a big issue.

  • Issue with Ipad Syncing with Exchange

    We have 6 folks using Ipads regularly to access our corporate exchange server. Up to now things have been fairly stable.
    That said starting this week our President has been having significants issues with the syncing process. The process seems to be hanging (however it may be jsut retrying over and over). This is resulting in some emails getting sent multiple times. It also appears that the syncing of Calendar events is sporadic.
    No updates ahve been applied to the Exchange server.
    He is a pretty heavy user of the Ipad and email and recieves alot of attachments some that are large 5-10mb. I see some chatter about these types of issues but no real solutions.
    Is anyone else seeing this type of activity? If so any thoughts on how to improve the issue.
    Thanks

    I connected my IPAD for sync with Itunes on my laptop, DELL 6500 running Windows Vista.
    Itunes prompted me to download new OS version 3.2.x It then went to restart my IPAD- and then boom !! .. windows said it couldnt find my ipad driver. I went to apple support site and followed their instructions and still windows cant find the driver. Hence my IPAD is not stuck showing the connect to ITUNES screen .. cant use it and cant get update.
    Any one has any ideas what happened ?

  • Authorizing Computer - Had Issue with iTunes 9.0.?

    I had an issue with iTunes. I can't remember which version it was. I think it was 9.0.(?). I can't remember the last digit. Anyway, the issue was, when I went to sync my iPod nano, an error message came up. It said that the computer wasn't authorized to play music purchased from my account. When I went to authorize, an error message read "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408).
    Basically it appeared that my computer wasn't authorized to play purchases made with my account, which I find odd, since I've had this MacBook for awhile now (at least 2 or 3 years). However, when I upgraded to iTunes 9.1, this resolved the issue, at least for now. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Is the usb issue the same for Intel HM55 Chipset? That's what I have in my brandnew Gateway 64 bit laptop running windows 7 and I can't seem to sync my brand new iphone 4 to my itunes either? I get the same random errors 8 mins into syncing? I'm not sure how uninstalling and reinstalling itunes will help me when I just installed the most current version of itunes last night unless itunes just does not install correctly the first time? I've updated my Apple usb drivers and everything? If anyone has some experience like this and a possible resolution I'm willing to try anything that sounds intelligent!

  • Issues with itunes on start-up

    I'm not able to use any of the functions of iTunes anymore.  Since the last couple updates.  When I start iTunes it takes a long time for the library to load(understandable-I have a large music library stored on an external hard drive) Once the library has finally loaded and iTunes opens, I just get the colored pinwheel of death. Any ideas?

    Hey david472,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Mac. To isolate and troubleshoot this issue, try opening iTunes in safe mode:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    - Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
    - Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
    - Slow performance.
    - iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
    - You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    I would appreciate any feedback or assistacne regarding iTunes and some very frustrating errors I have encounterd. I am running 7.5 iTunes on Windows Vista 64bit, Quad Core. This is my issues I have noticed and HATE:
    1. iTunes no longer burns CDs. The green check marks show up, but no data is rippe. Burning doesn't work either.
    2. iTunes in Album Art view, album art sometimes just disappers and doesn't come back. I have to got to CD Universe and copy the ablum art since iTunes doens't have the art. Frustrating.
    3. iTunes has deleted several albums and songs. Its funny, the information is listed in the library, but when you click on it it says "I can't find it, show me/search, blah". I have lost at lease 9 albums/100 songs. Now I have to go and get my CDs out of a box in the atic to add them back. Man, I knew I should have boacked up the library.
    4. iTunes in Album Art coverflow sometimes out of no were adds another picture of an album. So if I have one album (Dark Side) sometimes next to it is another album of Dark Side, just when you click on the second album art it goes back to the first. Makes things messy.
    Anyways, these have been my issues with iTunes and I tell ya, if I can't figure out some of the more frustrating issues, I am going to change my software. But what syncs with an iPod Classic? Media Monkey? Thanks folks.

    UPDATE. I did a reset and it did remove the old computer from my Wifi Sync screen but now my personal hotspot option is gone, I cannot connect to wifi at all and I still cannot get the phone to sync to iTunes.

  • Issues with iTunes Media Folder resetting to default location

    This is my 1st post to the Apple Support Community (the problem I have is with iTunes, but I believe it also has to do with the way OS X Lion is setup and the way Networked Drives are mounted in it) ...so I hope I've posted this to the correct place. Thank you in advance for any help I'm going to get here. I have no expirience with Mac OS X's (coming from a Windows background) so please bear with me, but I am a S/W Tester by trade so I'd like to think I'm resonably IT literate.
    ISSUE:
    I have a problem with iTunes and my Media Folder resetting constantly - my Setup is a MacBook Air, with an Apple Time Capsule 2TB which is providing my Wifi Network.
    I want to setup iTunes so that it will permenatly point to my Data Folder on the Apple Time Capsule, so that when I download purchases, synch iPhones, or rip Music it will end up on the Apple Time Capsule and not on the MacBook Air's SDD Drive
    I though I had managed to do this, but after I shut down the MacBook Air, and then logged back in to rip some music, iTunes had repointed to the MacBook Air's SDD, and all the CD's i ripped were saved there instead of the Apple Time Capsule. So far I have done the following;
    STEPS CARRIED OUT SO FAR:
    1) Connected the MacBook Air to the Wifi Network provided by the Apple Time Capsule - I can see the Time Capsule in the Finder app.
    2) Gone to GO MENU > LOCATE SERVERS and selected the top level DATA FOLDER on the Apple Time Capsule....I believe that I've managed to create an ALIAS (Shortcut?) that points to this, and it's on my Desktop.
    3) Next I went to SETTINGS > USERS > and made sure that ALIAS (Shorcut?) to the DATA FOLDER on the Apple Time Capsule is always loaded up on startup for my UserID
    4) Next, I found my iTunes folder, and MOVED it from the MacBook Air SDD to the Apple Time Capsule's HDD over the Wifi Network.
    5) I then went to ITUNES PREFERENCES and changed the MEDIA FOLDER it pointed to, from the MacBook Air's SDD to the one on the Apple Time Capsule.
    6) Then I logged out and shut down the MacBook Air.
    7) I powered on the Macbook Air, and logged in, then ripped some music - I then found that iTunes had created a new iTunes Folder for my User on the MacBooks SDD and all the CD's I ripped had been saved there. Also under the ITUNES PREFERENCES menu, it looks like iTunes had reset the location of the MEDIA FOLDER...
    I don't know if this is an issue with iTunes or not - I'm assuming it's a setup issue on my part, and that maybe I haven't created a permenant link to the Apple Time Capsule as I thought I had. If it helps I was attempting to do something similar to whats described in this YouTube video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA399lEXRTE
    Thanks again for any help

    if you really moved your entire iTunes folder, the next step needs to be launching iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, clicking on choose library at the prompt, and selecting the iTunes folder you moved to the TC.
    as for auto-mounting the TC's disk on startup, you might find this discussion interesting.

  • Updating Issue with iTunes 7.0.1.8

    A few weeks ago I made the jump to the newly released iTunes 7.0. I had a slew of issues with this update (which by the way Apple has still not provided a working solution for), which I addressed in detail in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3170496#3170496
    Today I updated to the new iTunes 7.0.1.8. There were no issues during the installation itself, however afterwards is a completely different story. When I attempt to open iTunes, I receive the following error message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    My first thought was to see if Quicktime is working normally. It is. No problem there. I thought perhaps I should try repairing the installation. So I went to Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Software > iTunes. I attempted to use the 'repair' option. This did not work at all.
    At this point I restarted my computer and uninstalled iTunes. I restarted once again and reinstalled. When the installation had finished I received the prompt, "would you like to run iTunes after the installation is completed?" I clicked 'yes.' iTunes opened, no problem.
    I closed iTunes and attempted to reopen it normally. It would not open, instead giving me the same message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    I thought the previous issues with iTunes not recognizing my iPod were bad enough but now I can't even open iTunes at all. This is absolutely unacceptable on Apple's part. It was bad enough that they released 7.0 with all its bugs, but at this point they should have their act together. Instead the problems are getting worse.

    Please let me know if I can get rid of this feature.
    You sure can.
    iTunes View menu > Hide MiniStore will do the trick.
