HT1386 iTunes not syncing all playlists?

When I sync my 5s with my Mac, the playlists are not updating or syncing. Furthermore, some of the songs are not playing again. I had this problem before and never really could figure out what fixed it. It just began working again. Now, however, I have tried updating the software, re-syncing multiple times and it still won't work. I had edited some of my playlists and whenever I sync my phone, it adds the old playlist to the Mac and adds a "1" to the title of what should be the new and updated playlist. I have even deleted the old, original playlists and it's still happening. After doing that, I can't get one of the playlists back on the phone at all.
Anyone else with this experience?

That still doesn't work. I've tried several times. Some of my songs, which are not purchased songs by the way, but songs off of cds are also not playable now.
When I check the box to un-sync the music, then click apply, a sync starts and immediately the box unchecks itself and all the playlists repopulate on the Mac screen. They aren't even being deleted from my phone either.

ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
Sync Music:
Selected Playlists, artists, genres
Music Videos - Not Checked
Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
It can be kind of confusing.
I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
Not supposed to do that.
If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
It is compatible.
If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

ITunes not syncing all pictures

My iTunes will not sync all of my pictures from iPhoto. After every try I go and delete the iPod photo cache, but it still doesn't work. I'm trying to sink my MacBook with my iPhone 5 and my ipad mini, but neither work..

Re: iTunes 10.1 is not syncing my Photos correctly to my iPad or iPhone

OK. Here's the fix. Haven't had any problems since I tried the following: 1. Use the temporary fix of deleting the com.apple.Aperture file.
2. Now re-start Aperture while holding Command + Option and select 're-build database'
3. Quit Aperture
4. Note that the progress indicator "Updating Previews for Sharing" appears before Aperture closes
5. Load Aperture
6. Load iTunes and connect iPad or iPhone (check for accurate library structure from Aperture)
7. Sync iPad or iPhone
8. Create a new folder in your Aperture library.
9. Move a couple of Albums to the new folder
10. Go to iTunes and click on the 'Photos' tab of the device sync options
11. Changes to Aperture library should update properly Let me know if this works for everyone else. I'm pretty sure it will. Seems that my library was corrupt, but rebuilding the library won't help unless the database (com.apple.Aperture) is deleted first.

ITunes not syncing all songs in library to 5s (iOS 7)

Ok so after I synced the other day I went to play some music on my phone and noticed that many of the songs had the "downloading" symbol next to them and the song name was greyed out and not clickable. I have tried resyncing my phone, restoring it, reseting it, everything. I noticed in itunes when I select my phone and go to "On This iPhone" that the songs that are unplayable on my phone and are also greyed out. Screenshots are attatched. Help me please please please please

Hello Dakota,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone. For an issue like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply," then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

Itunes not syncing all songs from ipod.

I just got a new laptop...downloaded itunes.....and plugged my ipod in. iTunes only took a few of the songs from the ipod? (55 out of 499) Why? Have no idea how to fix this

- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT1386 ITunes is not syncing my playlists but I have that option checked.

ITunes is not syncing my playlists but I have that option checked.

iTunes is a program. It cannot fix itself.
Select the items desired to sync and sync the device. This is not difficult, just open your eyes and pay attention.

Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.

iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?

I am having this issue also. Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists. The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist. I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick". I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also. Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success. How do we escalate this to Apple? Do they review these posts?

What happend to sync all playlist option in itunes 9.2.1(4)

in the previous itunes version, there was an option to sync all playlists, now there is only sync music library and no playlist. is there any way to have all playlists sync without manually do it?
thanks

Okay. Some misunderstanding going on here.
under the sync music check box there is a radio button for all songs and playlists which is exactly what i was looking for...
That picture is from iTunes 8/earlier.
*Sync all songs and playlists* (in iTunes 8/earlier) syncs your entire music library. It is exactly the same as selecting *Entire music library* (in iTunes 9).
However, you do not want that.
You wrote, "because it would try to sync my entire music library ( which is large). I only want to sync my playlists and only my playlists."
*All songs and playlists* = *Entire music library*.
If you want want only all playlist but not all songs, you need to tick each and every playlist to sync it to the iPod, just as you would have done before.
Songs not in any playlist will not be put onto the iPod.

IPod Classic not syncing all my songs from iTunes

Background: I've had my 160GB iPod classic for 5+ years and been using iTunes for close to ten years. I'm using Windows 7 on my PC and up until recently I've been updating both iTunes and iPod whenever updates are available. After the horrible experience of upgrading to iTunes 11 and trying for over a month to get used to working with all the annoying bugs and compromises in functionality that Apple stupidly introduced into what was once a really good piece of software, I decided a week ago to downgrade to version 10.7. I went thru all the necessary steps to make this downgrade work, eliminating the various error messages, etc, and it appears now that my earlier version of iTunes is fully functional.
But when I connected my iPod to sync new songs, I kept getting a message to scan and fix the disc on my iPod. I wasn't sure if I should do that so I ignored the prompt a few times. Then last night I decided to restore my iPod and start from scratch. The disc error message has gone away, but now it is not syncing all the songs it is supposed to.
Af far as I know there are no broken links and all the songs in my music library are located within iTunes, so that is not the issue. There may be some songs with the same title and artist but that appear on different albums, so those should not cause a problem. At this point I have too many songs to fit on my iPod so I have selected to sync only checked songs, and I have unchecked over 1000 songs in iTunes, so that when I connect the iPod, it doesn't tell me that there is not enough free space to sync the iPod, it just syncs the checked songs.
Before restoring my iPod, I had 14161 songs in iTunes, with 1105 of those songs unchecked so as not to sync them in the iPod. I did the math and that left 13056 songs that are checked, and that was how many songs showed up in the iPod after syncing it, with about 1GB of free space left on the iPod.
Now, after restoring my iPod, I get only 13009 songs showing up in the iPod, meaning 47 songs are missing (with exactly 1.4GB free space).
How can I troubleshoot this to find out what songs are missing and why, and then fix it? Is there an easy way to approach this daunting task? I am really fussy about my music library and am not the kind of casual user who just loads a bunch of stuff on my iPod and doesn't care if there are duplicates, broken links, missing songs. I manage my own library very assiduously each time I import new music and make sure it is tagged and filed correctly according to my own system. I want to fix this issue.
Could it be a problem with me using a newer version of the iPod updates with an older version of iTunes? And is there a way I can correct that, possibly downgrade the iPod software version I have now? Would it be worth the trouble to try restoring the iPod again, and if so, what precautions do I take to prevent the same thing happening again, where not all my songs get synced to the iPod.
Thanks to anyone who can offer some helpful advice...

Check through this.

Does some music sync?
Does the not-playing music play in iTunes?
Is there anything different about what does sync and what does not?

IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4 either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.

How can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

how can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

Assuming you haven't taken up too much memory from apps to hold the 11 gigs of music...
After you plug in your iPhone, go to the music tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all music.
If apps/books/etc. leave you with less than 11 gig of space for you music, make playlists and sync those instead
