I can't sync my music to my iphone 4..

Im currently using the itunes software version 5.0.1... I have no idea why i can't synchronize my music to my iphone and the minute they said it's "synchronized" , i check my iphone music and the songs were not selectable.. and i can't play any music fromt here and the capacity bar on the itunes shows nothing about the audio... Help? Im pretty frustrated with this...

Iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.
When you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content from your iphone and replace with content from the new computer. This is how the iphone is designed.
Make sure that you copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

Upgraded to iTunes 11. Now, I can not sync my music to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) Apps, movies and videos sync OK. Music is the problem. Tags are correctly check-marked. Any ideas ???

I can't sync new music onto my iPhone?

I have a black 32GB iPhone 5. I've had the phone for about 7 months and I've had no problems with it until recently. My iTunes won't sync new music onto my iPhone. I've tried switching the cable and checking and unchecking music, but it doesn't work. When I tried to uncheck all the music and sync it, the music stayed on my phone. Tracks that I've deleted stay on my phone, and new tracks won't sync to my phone. I recently downloaded an album from iTunes, and the songs on the album appeared on my phone through iCloud. However, new songs that I haven't purchased through iTunes won't sync. How can I fix this problem?

What happens when you try? We're not psychic...

How can I sync the music on my iphone to a new itunes on a new computer without losing everything?

Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.

I can't sync any music into my iPhone 3G

In the case of Calendars, Contacts and Mail, they sync right. But when I try to sync my music, nothing happens. iTunes unmounts the iPhone in the exact moment that it is going to sync my songs.
The automatic sync I can't afford it, because I have 20 gb of songs in my Library. In the first sync, iPhone made immediatly a especial playlist in itunes, from which it is suppose to be sync from, right? I decided to arrange later that Playlist deleting some songs and let it below the 10 gb rate. And nothing happens, I have still empty the iPod app within iPhone 3G.
Any clues?
Thanx!

I keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

I can't sync my Music with my iPhone 4. Songs start syncing and after 10-15 songs it stops

When I connect the phone with the cable it starts syncing, but when it comes to upload the music it stops after few songs. I tried to restore the phone and it actually worked, I have like 1200 songs now. But If I add an album (like 10-15 songs) when I sync again it says that it has to add like 1000 songs and as I said it stops almost suddenly.
What should I do?
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 and iTunes 11.1.2

oh and apps sync fine, and I recently bought a new cords so I know it can't be a syncing in general failing, it's something to do with the music

Can I sync my music from my iPhone to my iPad?

Is it even possible to connect both devices with one cord to transfer data or do I have to run everything through my computer first?

Unless they are purchases from iTunes and you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded or you have iTunes match (so you can re-download them) then you will need to go via your computer's iTunes.

Can't sync my music from itunes to iPhone

I recently updated itunes on my computer and now I can't sync my music to my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can't sync my music or videos

After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can not sync my music or videos. I have restored the ipad many times, tried to sync only a few playlists, reset the ipad (restart button and home button). No problems with contacts, mail, calendars, or apps. Any suggestions where to attempt fix?

To the original question of how to sync. If you have tried the usual routes via selecting Playlists from your Device Music page. And/Or Drag and dropping a playlist onto your device and neither work, it may be that your songs are unchecked.
Right Click on a song in your playlist you are trying to sync. If the entryies at the bottom give you the option to Check selection. Then click this and repeat for all songs in that playlist. You can select all songs in a playlist by Cmd + A
If you see Uncheck Selection then this is not the cause. It must be something else.
