I am having trouble syncing ALL my music to my laptop (PC)

I received a PC laptop for Christmas this year, and I wanted to make this computer my computer for my itunes and iphone. Previously, all of my iTunes was done through the desktop computer I successfully syncned all of the PURCHASED music, that was saved to the iCloud. My issue is that I can't seem to get my uploaded music (from CDs) that was on the desktop computer onto the new (PC) laptop. I've downloaded the most recent iTunes download, plugged it in, and tried just about everything I can think of. iTunes DOES recognize my iPhone by name, and everything else seems very normal, except for the fact that some of my music (the CDs) isn't there.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide!
Merry Christmas!

P.S. I do apologize if I put this under the wrong section, as it involves several devices and Apple products and programs, so I wasn't quite sure which one to put it under. Thanks again!

You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What "trouble" are you having?

  • Trouble syncing all my music

    Hi , i have just got my new i mac. its fab, but having trouble with itunes and sync. it will not sync all my music, just part of it. can anybody help.i must be doing somethimg wrong. very new to imam and never really used itunes before.

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one. 

  • I just got a new computer and im having trouble syncing all my stuff onto my computer. how can i authorize it?

    i recently just got a new computer. im trying to sync all my music into my itunes but for some reason its not working. it says my computer is not authorized. i have no idea what to do can someone help me?

    If you're using iTunes 11 on Windows, press the Alt and S keys. Otherwise, click on Store at the top of the iTunes application window(Windows) or the top of the computer's screen(Mac OS X).

    They will be removed from your iPhone but nothing will be removed from iTunes on your computer.

  • Having trouble syncing all of my apps from my computer to my 3Gs iphone. Computer says that I have 13 pages of apps, phone only has 11. How can I sync the other pages to my phone?

    Having trouble sycning apps to phone.

    Your apps are probably on the iphone.  Have you done a search?
    There are only11 pages available to show apps.  The apps are on there, they just cannot just be displayed on the page, unless you put them in folders.

  • I'm having trouble syncing all of my albums to my iphone

    For some reason, when I downloaded the updated software on my old phone (3GS), a lot of my photo albums were unable to sync to my phone from my Mac. This had never happened before. I knew I was getting the new iphone 4S anyday in the mail, so I thought maybe it would work with the new phone, but I'm havilng the same problem. My most recent albums seem to be fine syncing to my iphone, however, the older albums only sync videos and no photos.

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    Regards

    It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
    - Unsyncing all music and resysncing
    - Restoring the iPod
    BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

  • My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

    My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
    It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
    Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
    Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
    Thank you in advance.

    FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

    Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
    You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
    I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
    I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
    Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
    Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
    The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
    I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
    You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

  • I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all.

I don't want to loose all my items.

    When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
    You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I am having trouble syncing photos with lightroom mobile. Lightroom (on computer) tells me that it's syncing but nothing appears on my I pad. Any comments?

    I am having trouble syncing photos with lightroom mobile. Lightroom (on computer) tells me that it's syncing but nothing appears on my I pad. Any comments?

    however when I try to sync my older ipod with it and upload some new music to it, Itunes keeps telling me that all the previous songs will be erased
    Yes, that's correct. If you don't have the songs that are currently on your iPod also in your new iTunes installation, they will be erased from the iPod if you sync it. Best to start afresh by first transferring all the music on your iPod back to your new computer/iTunes library.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    Once all the music is safely back in your new iTunes library, you can sync your iPod as normal.

  • Having trouble syncing iPad to get movies onto it.....any ideas?

    For some reason I am having trouble syncing movies onto my iPad. They are in my iTunes library, I check the box hit apply/sync then nothing.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Been there, done that...........
    It appears that when I sync it seems the sync is syncing the computer with the iPad not iPad with computer.
    I have delegated all movies on iPad when I check some movies on iTunes it adds the purple bar at the bottom and availability of space decreases accordingly. When I hir apply/sync it goes through the process then when finishes step four the purple bar at the bottom goes and available space increases again.

  • HT4235 Having trouble syncing itunes playlist to ipod

    I am having trouble syncing my itunes playlist to the ipod touch. When I connect the ipod to the computer and open itunes, the ipod shows that it is in the sync process. However, the playlist does not show up. The Diagnostic Test shows "no ipod found". I installed the newest version of itunes and have reset the sync history.

    Hi windylina,
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    After connecting your iPod touch to the computer, choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have see the options to sync "Entire music library" and sync "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". If the latter is selected, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. It may be that the specific playlist you are referring to is not checked.
    For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

    I HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES ON MY LAPTOP. MY PHOTOS ARE ON 1 HARD DRIVE & MY ITUNES IS ON ANOTHER HARD DRIVE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SYNCING THE PHOTOS FROM THE SEPERATE HARD DRIVE ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH. ANY HELP?

    There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
    There are problems both drive errors and USB errors.  I don't believe it.
    I have a hunch the drive is starving for power. 
    USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V.  Not all do.
    USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA.  Not all do.
    USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more.  Some violate that.
    USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that.  Especially disk drives.
    My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1].   Does your drive have the option for external power?  If so try it.  Following up on wtx's comment;  USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power.   Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification:  A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest.  I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.
