HT1386 Music library and music on phone don't match...

On a new laptop I set up my iTunes account.  My music library shows 801 songs while my iPhone shows 897 songs.  How do I get the other 96 songs to show up in my music library?  I already tried the 'transfer songs from iPhone' option.  Please help!

That warning is an indication that the phone has either never been synced with the computer/iTunes library you are attempting to sync with, or has synced with another computer/iTunes library.  Your phone is designed to only sync with a single computer/iTunes library.  When you attempt to sync with another one iTunes will first delete all iTunes media from your phone and then replace it with the media in the library you are attempting to sync with.  This can't be changed.  When you sync all music will be deleted from your phone and only the music in the library you are syncing with will be transferred back to your phone.  In your case, you would lose the 96 songs.
Your only option is to use 3rd party software to transfer the 96 songs to your library before you sync so they will be synced back to your phone along with your other music.  If you think the songs may have been purchased from the iTunes store you can transfer your purchases before syncing by:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
When done, click Apply to sync your phone.
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • My iTunes on my laptop and my iTunes on my phone don't match

    My iTunes on my laptop and my iTunes on my phone don't match. My old phone (iPhone 4) has got all of my music (whether it's bought via iTunes or added from CD) whereby my iTunes on my laptop only has music I purchased via iTunes (my laptop crashed and had to be rebuilt so once I logged back into iTunes everything was gone). I've tried re-syncing but no joy. I've now got a new iphone (5s) but I can't get my iTunes on my new phone to match the iTunes on my old phone. Any ideas?

  • How the **** do i get back my library i was just using.No didn't save image or restore been using it for months the same way no tells me to choose or create a library and my previous versions don't recover

    How the **** do i get back my library i was just using.No didn't save image or restore been using it for months the same way no tells me to choose or create a library and my previous versions don't recover.Please help I just deleted all doubles did allmy artwork Etc..

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • Contacts on Phone Don't Match Contacts on Gmail

    My DroidX is set up to sync calendar and contacts every night, but my phone contacts are not going into my gmail account, thus, the contact lists don't match.  I "unchecked" and "rechecked" sync to see if it would reset itself, but it did  not.  When I transferred (or should I say, the Verizon rep transferred) my contacts from my BlackBerry to my Droid, about 25% of the contacts didn't make it.  It took me over two hours to  compare the contact lists to make sure I had everyone on my new phone.  Any ideas?

    Thanks. No, I have 10.7 nowadays, have had it for a while. I discovered in Contact preferences that Icould was not activated. Now it is and the contacts are syncing again, although they appear twice, if I have both "on my Mac" and ""ICloud" activated. Any way to avoid this?

  • I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S.  I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my  iphone

    I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

    Thanks,  This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple.  What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer.  I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it.  If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

  • Mail header and body of message don't match

    I'm having a frustrating time with my mail. I have version 1.2.5. I have 3 accounts that download to it. 1) It is downloading the wrong messages into the wrong folders
    2) A message will say it's from a specific person, with an subject, etc... sometimes it is a reply to my message. But the body of the message will be a legit message, but from a different person. They are all people I know.
    So, it's screwing up somehow.
    It's not spam.
    I don't think it's a virus but I don't know.
    I've been told by my computer guy that it sounds like a corrupted database. I have deleted it, and reverted to a backup from Monday. I then deleted everything in the in, sent and trash. But it is still happening.
    It's also now not downloading the messages from one of the accounts at all.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated ---- can't get any work done!
    Thank you!

    I had the same problem yesterday and today. What I
    did to solve this:
    - Close Mail
    - Go to your home folder -> Library -> Mail
    - Choose the IMAP folder of the account that has
    these problems and move (not copy) it to the Desktop
    - Start Mail
    - Your mail messages will be loaded again
    While this will work, there's now a simpler solution. Control click on the mailbox giving you the problem. Select the 'Synchronize "<mailboxname>"' item from the menu. This will synchronize the message index with the messages and you should be good to go. It's a lot simple and faster than the solution above, and less prone to error.
    The problem is that the message index is getting out of sync with the actual message cache. Mail.app keeps the headers in a separate file than the actual message, so that's why you may see a legitimate subject line and sender, but when you click on it you see an entirely different (also legitimate) message.
    "Synchronize" gets the files back in sync.

  • Hostname and file sharing names don't match

    I have a very strange problem...   I am running OS X 10.7.2 on my Mac Pro.    My Computer Name / Hostname doesn't match what is shown for my computer name on the Sharing panel under System Preferences for File Sharing, Screen Sharinging etc. 
    When I go to System Preferences -> Sharing, my Computer Name is "gascan-mac" which is what I get in the terminal of my system.  However when I selected Screen Sharing or File Sharing the details about this service on the left show "vnc://mac-mini/" for the Screen Sharing address and "afp://mac-mini" for File Sharing and "http://mac-mini/" for Web Sharing.   What is up?
    I have rebooted multiple times and nothing fixes this.  If I go to another system and ping using "mac-mini" I get a response from the correct address.  So something in the system is set to this name but I can't find where to change it. 
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I don't see your problem.
    There is little to no connection between your machine's own hostname and DNS - which is what everyone else will be using to lookup your host via.
    In other words, according to the DNS for your network, the IP address in use by your machine has the 'mac-mini[.whatever]' hostname.
    The Sharing preferences hostname is pretty much used by Bonjour/Zeroconf so your machine likely also has the name 'gascan-mac.local' but that's not directly connected to your DNS.

  • Login Name and  Home Folder names don't match

    Many months ago I embarked on a mission to clean up a drive which I ported over to another computer and in the process tried to rename the user name but I can't get the home folder to reflect the user's new name.
    On launch the computer has the proper user name but the home folder retained the old user name.
    Is there a way to correct this?
    I am stumped.

    I just wanted to let you know that I will not attempt your procedure yet until my wife has finished her thesis.
    I have no reason to believe it will not work but should I make any mistake along the way I would rather have it happen later.
    Once I run the procedure I will be back to mark your advice as a solution and answer to my question. So for now I will leave it marked as helpful.
    Thanks, I appreciate the quick response and look forward to finally having my wife's iBook consistent in terms of user name, in the meantime the machine is working great!

  • Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

    Hi,
    I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
    Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
    Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
    These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
    Thanks,
    Paula

    And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
    Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
    Thanks,
    Paula

  • Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work if AD and AAD UPN suffixes don't match?

    We are using Azure Active Directory, AD FS, and DirSync with
    Alternate Login IDs, which means that our on-prem usernames have a different UPN suffix from our AAD usernames.
    Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work in this setup? Or do the AD and AAD UPN suffixes absolutely have to match?

    Hey Adam,
    From SSAS, we simply query AD by passing the UPN we receive from AAD. As long as AD can find a match, it'll work.
    So if there is a way in AD to map a particular UPN to another value, it'll work.
    For example: For a user A, her on premises UPN is
    '[email protected]' but she uses '[email protected]' as her email address. From AAD we'll receive
    '[email protected]' & since AD knows that this is same as
    '[email protected]' effective user name will work.
    Hope this clarifies! let me know if you have more questions.

  • SO and PR line items don't match

    Hello,
    In a trade scenario, the purchase req. comes directly from the sales order. Sometimes the line items do not match on the PR one for one from the sales order.  Why would this happen?  Example:  Line item 2 on the SO maybe turn into line item 4 on the PR.  We found that when creating the sales order if we click on 'complete delivery' this forces the line items to match, but if you click on 'continue' it causes a mismatch. Why is that? What is happening behind the scenes to cause this?  We don't use MRP for trading.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
      this can happen if you delete some Sales Order items during Sales Order creation, or if you define, for the same Sales Order item, more than one schedule line with different delivery dates.
    Best regards,
    Andrea

  • Account and home folder names don't match

    i'm the only user on my mac, and the account is set to my full name. somehow, i made the home folder a different name. is there any way to change the home folder name so that it matches what i have as the account name?

    home folder name is set to your short login name (not long login name) by default. If that's what it is now I would recommend against changing it. if you REALLY want to change it you can but it's known to cause some issues.
    see this link for details.

    When I delete a music playlist on my iPhone 4S, because I can't delete the palylist thru my Windows library, and sync the phone to the library subsequently, iTunes then deletes the same playlist in my Windows library. Are you serious?
    Now I don't have the playlist anywhere.
    What do I do except ***** to Apple, who make it almost impossible to contact them thru the internet? If you can find the way.

    I am glad there is someone else as frustrated as I about not only iTunes software but also how to contact Apple with a question.
    If either of us can't answer the question, will Apple? Or is that a rhetorical question? This DID NOT HELP ME

  • Sequence Settings Don't Match

    Good evening.
    I'm using FCP6 to edit video shot on a DVX100B in 24p Squeeze Mode. When I setup a new project I choose the following:
    Format: (all formats) Rate: (all rates)
    Use: DV NTSC 23.98 Advanced Pulldown Removal Anamorphic (a custom setting)
    When I drop my first clip into the time line I inevitably get the following message:
    "Attention- This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
    For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
    Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
    Is there something I'm doing incorrectly, or should I just expect this and always allow FCP to change my sequence settings?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    that is normal message when your source material and your sequence settings don't match.
    If you check from your media browser the item properties for your source material and then compare that with the sequence parameters, you will see something either in audio or video that doesn't match.
    May be you've got anamorphic material and your sequence was not set with the anamorphic flag on.
    Answering yes to that form will make sure you won't have to render all time you add a clip to your timeline.
    Regards,
    Armando.

  • I think I've been hacked? A few days ago my phone asked for my Apple ID and I entered it not thinking anything of it and now I've just been in my music library and there is a whole album of songs by an artist that I have never heard of? Help?!

    Basically my iPhone 4 asked for my Apple ID and I entered it thinking it was just some check or something and then I've just been scrolling through my music library and there is a whole U2 album there and i have never even heard of U2... i clicked on one of the songs to see what it was and it came up with "This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
    I Can't delete the album like I can with my other music from my phone and I don't really want to connect my phone to my laptop incase I have been hacked and it could give the person all access to my phone?
    Pde lease help me out, I don't know what's happened:(

    Do the half billion copies of the album they gave away count as "sales"?
    Let's see... An album has to sell 500,000 copies to go gold, 1,000,000 copies to go Platinum, 10,000,000 copies to go diamond... What will they come up with for 500,000,000 copies sold?
    Something radioactive would be cool... though difficult to display safely on the wall...
