I can't get my music to sync on my iPhone.

So the other day, I download some music off the internet with the intention of putting it on iTunes so I could put it onto my iPhone. After putting them on iTunes, I went to sync my phone. When it synced, it looked like it was sucessful and went through fully but the songs were still not on my phone. I then messed around trying to get it and somehow, half of my music got deleted off of my phone. Now, nothing is syncing onto my phone. Again, when I try syncing, it goes through fine and seems succesful. Even at the bottom where it shows that bar that shows your data usage, it says that all of my music was transfered cos of the bar is filled with music and when I put my mouse on it, it says that all of the songs were synced. But that isn't true. Out of 1017 songs, I only have 427 of them. I know there is plenty of ample space for music so that isn't the problem. I also noticed that if I go to the iTunes Store on my phone and go to my purchased music, a lot of the songs are missing there too so I can't redownload anything back onto my phone that isn't already there. I know I've purchased many more songs and they all show up on iTunes but my phone has no record of them at all and isn't letting me sync. I first tried deleting all music off of my phone and syncing then but that only put on the songs that my phone actually had records of purchasing. I've tried so many different things but nothing is working, and I'm getting really frustrated.

Have you tried File>Transfer Purchases

  • I can't get my music to sync to my iPhone from my macbook.

    I recently got a macbook. I used homesharing to transfer my music from my old pc. But now I can't sync music onto my iphone from my macbook. I have to transfer my new music to my pc and sync it from my pc. I've tried selecting and dragging my music to my iphone and making a new playlist and selecting and dragging the playlist. But nothing works. I can't really use my pc because the fan is broke and it over heats. So I don't like getting on it in fear that it will completely break before I get a chance to transfer the rest of my stuff. Any suggestions for the music?

  • How can i get my music to sync to my iPhone?  all my music is saving into the cloud

    i upgraded to iOS 8 on an Iphone 5s (from a 4s) and an iPad air and almost all of my music is now stored in the cloud, not on the device.   All iCloud settings are turned off.  I have one more 5s to upgrade (again, from a 4s).  How can i upgrade and keep all my music on the phone, not in the cloud.     I lost over 500 songs when I upgraded the iPad air.    

    I have a similar problem with my iPhone 5. I sync my music but I cannot find them in the Music app, although I can see for storage usage that they have been loaded to the iPhone. I have tryed different sync options, but nothing works. Cannot hear my musics on my iPhone anymore :-(

    Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

  • HT201269 I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
    "Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    "Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
    I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

  • HT201269 how can i get my music that was on my iphone 5 which is now broke to a iphone 3

    how can i get my music off my iTunes that was on my iphone 5 on to a iphone 3 as my 5 is broke

    Many people have upgraded and accidentally created a new account on their Macs.
    So, try logging out of the current user and see if your old user account is available to log in to. If so, log in and make sure everything is ok in that account.

  • Can't get rid of non-syncing playlists on iPhone!

    My iPhone has playlists that aren't even selected for syncing in iTunes, and I can't figure out how to get them off the iPhone. I even deleted all the music from my iPhone, and then reinstalled my regular iPhone playlist to bring back my music, but that didn't get rid of these other playlists that I don't even have selected for sync.
    Anyone have a fix for this?
    Thanks!

    I did finally solve this problem. As best I can remember it, it only happens with "Smart Playlists".
    So what you do is add a filter for each playlist you have the problem with: Kind = Audio (or maybe it's "Music").
    Anyway, that worked. I was then able to stop these from syncing to the iPhone. And then delete them!
    There's a thread on this somewhere here.

  • How can I get iCal alarm to sync with my iPhone 4?

    My iCal alarm won't sync with my iPhone 4 if I add the event using iCal on my Mac. I find that if I set an alarm on iCal, I only get an alert on my computer. If I add an event on my iPhone, I get a pop up alarm on both the phone and the computer. I want to be able to add an event on my computer and get an alert on both devices. Is this option even possible?

    Turn up the alert volume all the way in Sounds.   Lock it so you can't change it with the buttons.

  • I can't get my music to play on my IPhone 5.

    I can't get music to play on my IPhone 5.
    There seems to be a song stuck downloading "processing"
    I tried to delete the download, but when I right swipe on it the delete symbol doesn't appear.

    How do I fix this?
    If the tune is a MP3 then there is an issue with Safari. Convert the tune to AAC.

  • A few months ago when I switched over to icloud from mobile me I set up my icloud with a new email address and now I can't get my calendars to sync with my iphone.  I can't cancel either account-the icloud or mobile me.

    Please help!  I have two separate email addresses -my old mobile me and the new icloud and now nothing is syncing with my iphone.  I'm not sure how to get everything back to syncing the way it was before I changed everything over to icloud. 

    If you really did migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you would have the same address as before.
    It sounds as though you didn't actually migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you just started up a brand new iCloud account.
    You won't be able to access MobileMe now. If you failed to move everything over to iCloud properly, then all the data and the account has been deleted as Apple said it would at the end of July.
    To get everything to sync, you need to make sure all your devices and computers are logged into the same iCloud account. Possibly what has happened is some are still using the old (now deleted) MobileMe account and some are using the new iCloud account.

  • My itunes will not sync any of my music onto my iphone 4s. It also has this huge "other" category that is about 4 gb long. How can I get my music to sync back onto my iPhone?

    I just want to figure out how I can resync all of my music back onto my iphone using itunes.

    Texas Mac Man post (2/10/2012) on "Other" data on iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19861751
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20053939 - "If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve." "If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011
