HT1386 syncing my music to my pc
My old lap top broke, and I am using a new pc.. my itouch is only wanting to sync the songs I have purchased on my touch, only 210 of my 2195 songs. Any body know what to do?
Maybe:
113 items could not be synced, see...: Apple Support Communities
Next would be to restore from backup -
Dear Apple, why is not possible in the year 2014...sync to my iPhone just content I want to separety, without the whole sync procedur(backinup,syncing whole purchased things and stuff like that) When I want to have in my phone for example just 3 new songs ..I dont wanna wait 10minutes because of whole synchronization!!! I want add to my iPhone just these 3 songs thats it! Would be perfect, If you will make possible to sync just parts like MUSIC, Apps, Fotos, separetly and not alltime together...it s****!
Ok.
I have Windows OS and iTunes for PC, but the problem is not in my PC, but in synchronization. Your synchronization take minute or two, you have thunderbolt lightning cable??? If is it by you really so quick than ok but by me is it with sync really slow and I have still powerhouse notebook.
I dont know how is it possible that your sync is so quick, but my iPhone starts transfering purchased aplications and all content to the PC, instead of downloading it PC itself without iPhone from iStore. So there is what happend when I am conecting my iPhone.
When it find my iPhone on the first try, it starts makeing backup, than transfering photos, aplication, some info from Safari and to the end also the MUSIC...this should be improved by Apple and it should be able to sync just MUSIC section and not whole system, when I changed just something in MUSIC section(like adding new CD..)
So it does on PC whole resync Maybe is it somewhere in options, but where? I really want sync sometimes just MUSIC or just Apps and nothing else(like Photos, Bookmarks...)
I am sorry for that angry tone, but I am really stresedby this 20minutes sync or 10 miutes...just becouse of adding 1-2 songs, this is by competition phones quicklier :/ !

I have upgraded to an iPhone 5 and I just cannot sync my music onto the phone. It synced with my iPad no problem (which I got after the iPhone 5) but it WILL not sync with the iPhone? I bought iTunes Match to see if that was why and that is just even more of a nightmare without constant wifi...Please help!?!?
Thanks for your suggestions Amy_lou, I have tried everything. Eventually it synced, I got in my car, plugged it in and it would not play. I switched the phone off and back on and low and behold, there was no longer any music on the phone (by which time I was cursing apple and ready to throw it out the window). A friend (a i guru) has had a go, looked up some stuff but no luck. I think it will have to be taken in to an istore. Really not happy with the iPhone 5.
Thanks again for your suggestions. Carys. -
HT1386 why all music wont sync on iPhone 5
Why the Iphone 5 won't sync all music and why do i have a large strage for other?
If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button. This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button). I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

After downloading songs to my Playlists, when I try to
sync the music to my IPod, an error msge says
"The IPod cannot be ejected because it contains
files that are in use by another application".
What does this mean??- Terminate the sync
- Reboot the computer
- 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.
- Try again. If still problems try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP\
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -

Can you re-load/sync the music library to a newly loaded/blank itunes? I am getting warned the library will be erased?
The warning is correct, take it seriously. If you have a new computer, you need to transfer the iPhone files to it from your old computer. See these links:

HT1386 I am unable to Sync my music
I am unable to Sync my music, indicates a "duplicate file name was specified." Thoughts?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before? -

I have tried syncing my music from my itunes on my macbook to my iphone 4s and over 30 song won't transfer. It says the files cannot be found. Why is this and can I fix it?
You can try to repair your library. Once you are sure the files are all taken care of, you can sync the phone to remove all of the music and then sync again to add it back. That should take care of the issue.

Iphone will not sync all music to computer.
I have the newest version of iTunes and my iphone4 is upto date. Now my "Purchased music" from itunes snced with a little bit of messing with but all my"un-purchased" music will not export to itunes. When I click,"on this phone" the "un-purchased" songs are on there, but it will not goto my itunes library. When I gotto sync, it is saying it will erase all music files on my phone, which is the opposite of what i want. i want to put the rest of my "unpurchased music" on my itunes on my computer. PLEASE HELP!

The sync for music is a one way sync from ypur computer to iPhone and not the reverse. If you can't move the original music into that iTunes library, and that is the best answer, then you will have to look for a 3rd party app to help you.
I have used Senuti when I had a PC disaster to do what you are trying to do.

Can i transfer unpurchased music from my ipod to iphone?
Can I transfer my unpurchased music to my iphone from my old version of ipod classic?
Not directly. You'll need to extra this content from the Classic and import it back into iTunes and then sync it over to your iPhone.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Syncing only music and playlists
Why can't I just sync my playlist and music between my iMac and my iPad? It always wants me to sync my apps and everything. I would like to only allow iTunes to sync my music and playlists, bottom line. Can anyone suggest anything? Thank you!
