HT1386 Why can't I sync music to my new iPhone 5?

I had a large music library synced to my iPhone 3GS. I've now upgraded to an iPhone 5 but, when I try to sync this phone, the "Music" page is blank" except for the note iTunes Match is On. I know I can download songs from the cloud, but to download everything I want will take forever: why can't I just synbc from my computer as I used to do with my old phone?

OK, I found the answer here:

  • HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

    Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

    Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
    Select the Services shortcut.  In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services.  Doubleclick them to get the property page.  Change startup to automatic, click apply.  Then click start,
    There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and  drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
    Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services.  so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
    Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem.  I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have  higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
    Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed.  You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending.  In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed.  It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you  may not need or want.
    It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
    Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
    Best wishes, Ct

  • HT1386 How can i transfert my music list on my iphone toward itune on my pc

    How can i transfert my music list on my iphone toward itune on my pc

    Music purchased from iTunes can be transferred by connecting your phone to your computer, right-clicking on its name on the left sidebar of iTunes and choosing Transfer Purchases.  Non-purchased music (imported ripped CDs) cannot be transferred from your phone to your computer.  You would need to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to accomplish that.

  • Why can't I sync music from my mac to iPad?

    I'm having trouble syncing music from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. I have some music that is already transferred, but I can't seem to add new music. Any suggestions?

    Hi Zane
    Yes, I do that each time, but it makes no difference. I've had an iPhone with music on for ages, and this issue only happened when I update to iTunes 11 earlier on in the year.

  • Why can't I sync music onto my iPod?

    I have the 3rd Generation iPod Nano. I've had it for a little over a year, so I'm very familar with how to work it, etc. I've been trying to days now, to add more music to my iPod, but, for some reason, I'm unable to. I'll connect my iPod through the USB Port and my iPod screen will stay stuck on, "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." I've gone under "File" to see if I can click on, "Sync *My name*'s iPod", but that option isn't given. I'll click on "My Devices", and I'll click on "Sync", but it won't sync. I've gone onto the Apple website and I've tried the "5 Steps of Troubleshooting" numerous times, and nothing's working. I have no idea what's wrong with it. What could be wrong with it?
    Just as an F.Y.I., my iPod's warranty ended ten days ago as of today. My sister also uses this laptop to sync her iPod Touch.

    Sure you don't have the iPod set to manage the music manually?
    You can check by going to the 'summary' page and you will see the option to:
    "manually manage music". Is that selected?
    If you want to auto sync your music etc, you need to click on the 'music' tab, where you will see the option to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

  • Help, I can't sync music to my new iphone 4S

    I just got a replacement iphone and upgraded to a 4S (from a 4).  Everything else synced just fine, even my podcasts!  But not my music?  Can someone please help?

    Check these items:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    Authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    Check "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    After all these look correct, try syncing your phone.

  • Why can't I sync my notes from my iphone to my iMac?

    Hello,
    I wanted to sync my notes from my iphone 4s to my imac(OS X 10.8.2)
    So I went to icloud on my iphone, checked the 'notes' box and made a icloud mailaddress, but it never askes me to set a password. But a account was created anyway and I can send and receive mails with it.
    I went to my imac, settings, icloud and there I wanted to enter my new icloud emailadress, but it asked for a password. I have allready tried my appleID password but the account is nog being added.
    I also tried checking the notes box with the icloud option that was in the left column, but nothing is happening.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Regards,
    Yanara

  • Can't load any music onto my new iPhone 6

    Hi Everyone - I just bought my first iPhone ever - the 6, 128 GB - and am really frustrated that I can't load any music onto it. I try syncing through iTunes and nothing happens. It shows me a little grey circle next to each song that's supposed to be synced. Have tried:
    1. Deleting song duplicates using a software called Dupin
    2. Shutting down and restarting both my Mac Air and the iPhone.
    3. Unchecking 'Sync' under the music tab and then rechecking it after.
    Nothing seems to be working.
    Was super psyched about finally switching over from Android to IOS, and so far, it's not going so great!
    Photos have synced, no problem. But no music yet.
    Any suggestions? Please help!
    Sh

    I've been hoping 8.1.3 would fix this less than smart bug on Apple side, but no, no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this? I'd like to sync my music, please. Makes me think I should not have given up my iPhone 5 and iOS7 so fast.

  • HT1386 Why can I not sync my music library with my iPhone4s?

    It has synced all my contracts/apps/ect but not my music. I have made sure that the music section is "checked" before applying and syncing but thus it still does not download them. I have even tried unistalling and reinstalling itunes. PLEASE HELP!

    Have you actually chosen some songs? Checking the box at the top doesn't automatically cause your tracks to sync, you have to choose some first.

  • Why can't I sync music to my iPhone that I didn't buy off of iTunes?

    I've been having this problem since the release of iOS 7. iTunes will not let me sync songs to my iPhone 4s that I had bought from other sites, or have the CD to. It only syncs (through USB) the songs that I had previously bought off of iTunes. to me, this seems like a scam to get more money out of me, because I read up on iTunes Match, which I'd have to subscribe to, and it says in the description that it allows you to sync songs bought from other places. I'm considering selling my phone, and my iPod touch, for androids or windows phones because of this nonsense. If I have the songs in my possession, I should be able to put them on any device I want, without paying for a subscription to the service.

    I have no idea what you're doing then.
    I believe I have two songs from the iTunes store, both free. Everything else is either from my own CDs or is digital music from other sources, including retailers such as Amazon. I have no problem getting that music onto my iPod. Nor do I use iTunes Match.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "through USB".
    The process is:
    Import the music from CD into your iTunes Library.
    Add digital music (from non-Apple sources) to your Library
    Sync iPod/iPhone with iTunes.
    Job done
    So what are you doing? Can we assume that you have the music in your iTunes Library? If so, what do you do now?

  • Why can't I sync music to my iPhone 4?

    So I've had my iPhone for about 3 years now. Since about 2 years ago I haven't been able to download music from my iTunes to my iPhone at all. When I drag the song over my iPhone's name it becomes transparent and doesn't let me add my songs. I have enough memory to hold songs, I have about 4.6 GBs left on my phone. I can't figure this out.

    Do you import them into iTunes or just copy the music in a folder ?

  • HT1386 Why can't I sync tv shows to ipod touch. I tried to watch vampire diaries but it will not sync to my ipod touch.

  • Why can't I sync music to my ipod without deleting the music already on my ipod

    I have music to sync to my ipod but when I go to the music tab of itunes it no longer gives the list of artists that I want to upload to my ipod. The only way I could possibly upload the music I want is by choosing to sync all music but that would require me to delete all of the music on my ipod and replaced with the music in my library. Unfortunately I do not have all the music from mt ipod in my library

    oes it finish syncing but not syn some songs? If so have yu looked at:
    Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
