HT1386 Problems syncing music playlists on iPhone 6

I can't sync music playlists on my new iPhone 6. Only a portion of files get transferred and each sync just seems to scramble the results. All of these playlists sync on old and new iPods and my iPad mini. I don't use iCloud to store music; I've got too many files for that system. I sync directly with my Mac. Suggestions?

hi
i was just creating a playlist when the Done button disappeared. i then tried to make it happen again and i did:
-play a song
-then make a new playlist
-select some songs for the playlist
-wait for the song to change and when it does select some songs to add from the artist/album section
-the song change turns the "Done" button to "now playing"
-now you've gotta quit the app because there is not way to finish adding to playlist or change the song you're listening to D:
here are photos before and after the song changes, note the text at the top right of the screen:
After the button changes there is no way of getting the 'done' button back so you have to quit the app
i am also on an iPhone 6

HT1386 Problem Syncing Music from Itunes to Ipod Touch.

I have one music album on Itunes that won't sync with my Ipod touch. I tried deleting it from Itunes and then adding it again. Still not on Ipod. Also, I have several albums in Itunes that the music will sync but the album artwork will not.

Try redownloading them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Sync them to your iPod for an iTunes library using the manual method
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

HT1386 Problems playing music on my iPhone.

I've synced my iPhone with my iTunes from my mac but on my phone some of my songs are 'grayed out' and I can't play them. I've only started adding to tunes which were downloaded onto my mac by someone else and can't see what the songs I can't play on my phone have in common. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

The songs downloaded onto your mac by someone else are very likely owned by that person, and you were not given the right to play them using your Apple ID.
One way around this would be for that other person to use your iTunes to "Authorize This Computer" to play that person's songs. In iTunes on your computer, you would choose Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu and have that person enter their Apple ID and password.
That person can only authorize no more than five devices at any time. Before trashing or disposing of that computer, the person should deauthorize it in a similar way to the authorization.

Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

Hey there,
I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists, Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

Can I sync music to my iPhone using a different iTunes library

Hi guys,
I've seen various discussions on the net concerning this subject, but none of which provide a clear answer. Long story short, my last laptop broke, I now have a new laptop, but am unable to sync music to my iPhone because it's a different iTunes library. When I click manually manage music, I am prompted with a message stating that I'd have to delete all of the music from my iPhone to continue (which freaking *****). I am just wondering if there is a way around this.
Thanks,
LW

Oh, it appears the sync from playlist malarkey works. Hurray!

I just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3 and now it won't sync music to my iPhone 4... Help please!!

I have switch the setting on my iPhone to manually manage music and back and it still won't sync the new music

cutwright 93,
I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
(I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
1. On the phone, go to Music.
2. Click "More."
3. Click "Shared."
4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

HELP!!!! I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1

I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1. I have tried all the options suggested on various posts, and searched the internet, but since getting the iPhone 6, and updating to iois 8.1 today, I STILL cant get music from my macbook pro on to my phone, and its driving me mad.
Im using a MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo, so quite an old mac, and iTunes 11.4. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!!

I've tried turning off and turning back in sync music, tried manually installing music. Re-installing the ios, resetting the network prefs etc. Some others had this problem when ios8 first came out. I tried all the 'tricks' they tried..... but there's worked whereas mine didn't.

Can't sync music to my iPhone any more

It's been a while since I was able to sync music to my iPhone. After buying my subscription for iTunes Match I was able to load music from the cloud without problems. But then, without changing anything, the Music app crashed and every other app, like my Navigon Mobile Navigator, crashed either when trying to access my music.
I already reset the iPhone completely, switched iTunes Match off and switched from syncing via WiFi to cable sync. The only thing that changed was, that after switching off iTunes Match, the Music app started again. Thus, syncing music still doesn't work. I switched iTunes Match back on and now, the Music app starts again, seems to sync the content of "my cloud" but after this tells me, that I need to buy music via iTunes to play it from my iPhone.
I was unable to find a support number for iTunes Match that's why I'm asking here. Maybe someone knows how to solve this problem.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW: on my iPad everything is working absolutely perfectly.
OS: OS X 10.8.1 (the problem occured before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was using Lion before)
iTunes: 10.6.3
iOS: 5.1.1
Device: iPhone 4 16 GB

If one of your music files is damaged, iTunes may display that error message when attempting to transfer that file to your iphone. Try un-checking your music to identify the problem child.

I can't sync music to my iphone. It just says "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."

I am in exactly the same problem here as this person. Exactly the same problem.
No, it was not jailbroken. And now because it's in this loop, there's no ability to restore and such on itunes as the only option now is ever 'eject'.

Cannot sync new playlist to iphone with icloud

cannot sync new playlist to iphone from PC as it tells me new playlist not in icloud. how do I get new playlist into the cloud?

Hey dr. c bruce,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the music on your device did not originate from this library, is the iPhone 5 currently synced with another iTunes Library? iPhones can only be synced with one library:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201593
iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
Thanks,
Matt M.

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
much respect,
tommy bravo

After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message advising some songs could not be found. Why is this, when the songs are in my playlist.

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

Problems syncing music....

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1
