HT1386 Unable to sync some albums from itunes to iphone 5

Hiya,
Some but not all of my purchased albums in itunes will not sync to my iphone 5. I have the latest update, have tried reverting to manual sync, emptying all albums from iphone, re-syncing selected albums but nothing seems to work.
I've tried this countless times and it is driving me mad now. Any advice as to how to resolve this issue will be very warmly welcomed!
Thanks.

  • HT1386 Can't sync an album from iTunes to my iPod

    One song on an album would not sync from iTunes to my iPod, so I deleted the album and resynced.  Now the entire album won't sync.  I've tried rebooting both my iPod and my computer.  I just won't sync to the iPod.  I have 3.4Gb free on my 64Gb iPod.  I use iOS 5.1.

    Problem is solved.  I looked at the songs in this album through the "On this iPod" menu option.  I could see there were sync errors on the songs in this album.  I reset the warnings and turned on "iCloud" in the iPod settings.  The album and songs synced from iCloud.  Now everthing is fine.

  • I'm attempting to sync several albums from itunes to iphoto.  When select to sync all albums it copies over the previous recorded album.  I tried to sync the Albums individually and the same thing happens.  Any ideas on how to sync my albums?

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes.  When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it.  Any ideas what to try?

    I recently purchased an album from itunes.  When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it.  Any ideas what to try?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • Can't sync new album from itunes to ipod

    have recently downloaded new coldplay album from itunes but ipod will not pick it up during syncing, however will pick up recent podcasts??? any suggestions please!!!!

    Your computer may not be authorised. Try playing a track from the album from itunes. If you are not authorised, it should prompt you for your password. Once authorised it should transfer to the iPod.

  • Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs.  What am I doing wrong?

    I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
    Where are the extra songs coming from?
    The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
    Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
    Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
    I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
    When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
    Uncheck the "Sync Music" box.  Accept the "Are You Sure ...".  That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right.  (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
    Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs.  Do what you like with them.
    Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply.  That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

  • No sync my music from itunes to iphone 5

    No sync my music from itunes iphone 5, which is on my PC. Photos and
    notebook synchronized perfectly. My iPad synchronized to music at the
    same time. I tried absolutely everything.
    I am a musician. Why can not I upload my own music, which I wrote
    myself to my iPhone 5?
    How to solve this problem?

    You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
    Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
    With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

  • Syncing an album from iTunes on my Mac without using Match-How?

    I have an album that was purchased on iTunes from my old Mac and on a different account. Match simply will not let me download two tracks onto my iPhone regardless of how many times I try. It shows both tracks partially download and then stops. Is there a way to turn Match off so that I can sync that album directly from my new Mac?  Thanks.

    I just found instructions for permantly turning off Match and have done so. Works great. Thanks

  • Can't sync some songs from itunes

    I just got 10.4.11 on my imac and a new ipod nano using itunes 8.02. I can sync some tracks (manually) but with others I get the error message: "Not copied to ipod XXX's ipod because you are not authorized to play it on this computer." What does this mean?

    Hey there,
    Did you try to reauthorize your computer? Deauthorize it and then reauthorize it if necessary. See if that helps.

  • HT4623 unable to sync my music from itunes library into my iPhone5.How can I sync my music into my iphone5

  • Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

    Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
    Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
    - There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
    - I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
    - I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
    - Everything still plays in iTunes.
    - If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
    - I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
    - I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
    I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
    (I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

    After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
    They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

  • Can't sync photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone 3GS

    Hi, I'm having no problems getting photos off my iphone and currently have an empty camera roll. The problem is, I can't get photo albums to sync from iTunes. I get an 'unknown error (-50) each time.
    No problem with syncing a folder, but that's a pain as it's a much more tedious way of doing things.
    All software us upto date in iTunes, iPhoto, iPhone and I'm running Leopard on a MacBook.
    Driving me mad..
    HELP!

    Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.

  • Can't sync personal ringtone from iTunes to iPhone 6 plus

    Hi
    I have created a personal ringtone , a 20 sec clip. I saved it as an arc and renamed it to .M4R
    I added it to iTunes which correctly put it in the tones folder. I connected my iPhone - checked the sync tones option /all
    and hit sync.
    The ringtone refuses to come across.
    I am using iOS 8.1 and iTunes v12.0.1.26
    any help would be great
    thanks

    Hello,
    I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
    1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
    This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.

  • HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync.  They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone.  What do I need to do?

    I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod.  I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone.  Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store.  They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone.  What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.
