Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync. This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351

IPhone 5s using iOS 8.1 not syncing all music from iTunes

Before I updated to the iOS 8.1 (though I didn't ever do iOS 8), I was having problems with my computer saying some of my songs could not be located, then it randomly started working again, but my phone would show all the songs, and none of them would actually work, and look as though they were downloading themselves. Now that I've updated it's working for more songs but I'm still missing half of my library.

Did you already try to consolidate the iTunes library? iTunes will search for all listed music and make sure that all songs are part of the library:
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
copied from iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored

What if my computer won't allow me to sync my music and it's has been authorized? As well as it recognizes my IPod nano for a minute and then it disconnects itself how do I fix it?

Please help me and give me any tips.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

ITunes to iPad Home Sharing not syncing all music

I have a new iPad (the one just released; iPad 4?) and an older MacBook (about 3 years old or so). When I open iTunes and set up Home Sharing on the MacBook, then open the Music app on my iPad and enable Home Sharing, not all of my music shows up. Some of it (around 10% maybe) appears. It seems to be a random selection.
Anyone know what might be going on here?
Thanks

I find the home sharing can be a little finicky at times. Reboot the ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Rebooting your macbook might work as well.
Rebooting the wifi router by unplugging it for 5-10 minutes.

Iphone 6 won't allow ios 8.0.2 update

I purchased a new iphone 6 and restored it from an icloud backup. My previous phone, an iphone 5, had ios 8.0.2 installed on it but now my new iphone 6 won't allow me to download and install the update. My home screen shows the badge app icon on settings stating that there is a pending download, but when i select software update, i am told that the update has already been downloaded but it can't be installed until i finish restoring from icloud backup. I have no idea what that means because all other apps have been restored and i don't know what else i can do. I am experiencing numerous bugs and errors and would like to download the update.

Hi there 22zach22,
It sounds like your iPhone is still restoring some items from your previous iCloud backup. You can observe the progress of this in your iCloud settings, at the bottom of the page, where it shows your iCloud storage and last backup information:
iCloud - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph3c79652c
If you feel that this restore process has stalled, you may want to perform a reset on your phone using the following article:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
For best results, I recommend that you make sure you are connected to power and connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot when you perform the reset. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

What to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

what to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

Do you get any specific error messages? Double-check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

My iphone won't allow me to transfer any music. A lot more problems follow in the below paragraph

Hello all,
I really appreciate any help and advice I can get.
First my iphone won't allow me to drag music over to it. I'm old school and I like to drag specific tracks over to my iphone. iTunes won't let me do that. I have tried creating a new playlist and syncing again but still I can't do that. Any help or ideas?
Also, I keep getting the message that "x number of items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information". What does this mean???? I read some where that clearing the photo cache can help. One problem, I CAN'T FIND THIS PHOTO CACHE!!!!! Where is this thing. I read that you need to click "go" on the iTunes menu. My menu doesn't say go. What's going on? How to i find the iphone photo cache and get rid of that annoying message?!?
Also, before I get to any of the stages above, sometimes during syncing on iTunes with my iPhone 4S, it keeps getting stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied". Once again, anyone have ideas about how I can overcome this?
Please I need someone to go on before I throw this phone into the thames.

Is your iPhone restricted? Check Settings > General > Restrictions

ITunes won't allow me to manage music on my device

So I just got a new hard drive, and I couldn't recover my library of music from my first drive, but it IS all on my phone. I've started to build a new library of music but iTunes won't allow me to manually manage the music on my iPhone without doing a complete sync, and erasing my first library. How do I resolve this?

It sounds as if you are trying to move it while attached to iTunes and move individual songs. In the Summary page of iTunes, do you have Manually Manage Music checked? If not, that is why you cannot move individual songs. If you change to manually manage music, it will give you a warning that it is going to delete all of the current music on the phone and only take what you manually move over there.

ITunes won't allow me to purchase HD movie

I just bought an ipad 2 (which is compatible with HD movie right?) and i want to buy my sister's favorite movies "Tangled" and "Toy Story 3" in HD so i can transfer those to my iPhone and iPad.
but my monitor isn't HD monitor yet, and iTunes won't allow me to buy the HD movie anymore
it kinda strange because i've bought some HD movie before, but now it says:
"This cannot be purchased in HD on this computer
To buy or rent this in HD, your computer and display must both support HDCP"
is there a way for me to buy those movies in HD without having to buy a new HD monitor or purchase it on my iPad ? because my pc has faster connection speed than my iPad.

Would be great if someone from Apple could answer!
Apple does not provide support in these forums. Everyone who replies, with extremely rare exceptions, is just a fellow user.
There are several different possible issues presented in this thread, so it's difficult to provide any ideas or suggestions since I can't tell which of the "same problems" you actually have. I'd suggest you start a new discussion detailing your exact issue, setup, country, software versions, etc. and perhaps someone can offer such advice.
Regards.

ITunes won't allow me to play a certain song

My iTunes won't allow me to play Paradise by Coldplay but allows me to play other songs. They told me to put my Apple I.D in and they recognized it but then it played another song. Help?

iTunes can play many different types of mpeg-4 videos that are not compatible with the iPod. iTunes can playback 720p and 1080p mpeg-4 AVC baseline 1.4 videos that can't even be played using AppleTV (or the iPod). So iTunes compatibility doesn't always mean iPod compatibility.
However, you can convert it in iTunes to ipod compatibility.
Highlight the movie in itunes, go to menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".
