I cant sync songs from iTunes to my connected iphone.

Hello from Germany!!!!!!
I am using an iphone 5 (updated to the newest version) and a Windows-7-Notebook (Samsung Series 9) with iTunes (also updated to the newest version).
When I try to sync a song to my connected iphone, the bar ist stuck in the middle, it doesn't continue with the transfer and after a while, a window pops up saying that the time limit is exceeded, tha transfer is interrupted.
I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, I also tried using another USB-Port, I also deleted a maxdome Veri-Sign-App that is running at startup (many users in Germany suggest that this may be the problem), but nothing worked.
Any1 can help me with a reasonable solution?
Thanks in advance,
John

HT3965 When trying to sync songs from Itunes account to new Iphone 5s I lost everything on there...HELP

I just got an Iphone 5s. I plugged it into my computer to transfer all my songs from my Ipod Touch. When I did it erased everything on my phone...contacts, pictures, everything...Can this be undone????

This didn't happen by just by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
Sounds like you selected to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your new iPhone. All data included with the backup is replaced by the backup for the device you chose to transfer to your iPhone, which includes contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll. Any music or apps that were downloaded with the iPhone can be redownloaded.
You manually entered all contacts on the iPhone, or are you accessing an email account on the iPhone that supports syncing contacts over the air?

Cant put songs from itunes to ipod

Cant put songs from itunes to ipod, i have itunes on my computer at my house and i have i tunes on my computer at work.
It will only let me have songs either from my house or my work not both, if i try to drag the songs into the ipod symbol it wont let me put it in my ipod
anyone know what the problem is???

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer (As in your case where you have one at home and one you use at work) you can change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists. By doing this, you can listen to your iPod at work where you may have iTunes but no songs or a different set of songs on the computer.
See these links for more detail:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

Cant copy songs from itunes to ipod

I have a new computer and installed itunes and music. However when I connect my ipod it shows up but I cannot transfer songs from itunes to it. What is the cause of the problem and possible solution?
Mike

It's because your iPod can only be synced to one computer at a time unless you enable the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's summary tab. However, this method of syncing is much different from having iTunes automatically sync content for you.
So in order to sync your iPod with the new iTunes you'll need to copy the music from your iPod over to your new PC and then erase and sync it. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

Help, I am having problems syncing songs from itunes to my ipod.

I am having great difficulty in trying to sync purchased songs from itunes music store to my ipod.
I have just registered my ipod to my home computer after having it originally registered on a friends computer. Now on my own computer I have purchased 14 songs and have tried to sync them onto my ipod. However it keeps coming up with a message that my computer is not authorized to play them. Therefore its not copying onto my ipod.
Any solutions/help would be greatly recieved, thanks.

I'll wager that you have a second account that you forgot about. Fire up iTunes but do not log on to your account. Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window will appear asking you to authorize your computer for that account.

Can't drag songs from iTunes library to my iPhone. Nothing has changed.

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and added some songs from cd's to my library. At the time, I was able to copy (drag/drop) some of them to my husband's iphone. I am now trying to copy them to mine and am not able to. I've never had a problem with this before. This is not the original computer that i set up iTunes on...that one was a pc, and it died. This one is a Mac. I did have our iphones "synced" with the Mac in the Apple store. I have tried checking the "Manually manage music and videos" button, but get this message: The iPhone “Janice816's iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?". I don't want to attempt anything like this for fear of deleting everything. My iTunes and iPhone have the most current software, also. Is there an easy answer to this, or does it sound like I'll have to take everything back in for help? Thanks very much.

Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

Cant manually sync songs from itunes

I have an iphone 5s and I can't sync any songs manually from iTunes like I could before. This is the first i've tried since updating to iOS 8.1.
I right click to "add to" playlist/iphone and it just doesn't even register as if I didn't do anything.
I also downloaded an iTunes update today.
I shut down my computer (after iTunes update) and tried again but still same thing and didn't work. I signed out of iTunes and signed back in and that didn't help either.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3. I can no longer sync songs from itunes. They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded. How can I syn the new songs??

I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL. I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD. ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them. Does anyone know how I can get this resolved??

Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Ipod unable to sync songs from itunes store

So I just bought a new MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.3.. I have transferred my itunes library from my old ibook and all the songs are there. I just tried syncing my ipod, authorized my 2 accounts from itunes, and all but 56 songs were synced. I get an error message saying "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer".. I go to the store menu and authorize both of my known accounts and i get a message saying "these accounts are already authorized".. The only thing I can think of is that my roommate bought songs on itunes with her account, so I asked her for her username and password but it says the username/ password were entered incorrectly. I have tried multiple times and i know im entering her name and password correctly... Is there any other way to get these 56 songs to sync to my ipod? Its just annoying me! Please help!!

if you select one of those tunes in iTunes, right-click and +get info+, and check the summary pane, you will be shown who purchased the track and the account used. is that different from the accounts you authorized iTunes for ?
if not, try the suggestions click here.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:

Looking for information and help on syncing songs from itunes to ipod

I just bought my first ipod -the 60gb video ipod. I'm in the process of ripping songs into itunes from about 2,000 CDs and there are some songs I don't want to load onto my ipod. I have 3 questions:
1. When I sync my ipod with itunes the first time will it load all the songs in itunes or only the ones with check marks?
2. When I sync it later to load new songs will it just add the checked songs?
3. If I create new playlists and make changes to old playlists do they automatically update when I sync my ipod to itunes?
Thanks to anyone who has information to help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The following answers are based on the assumption that you automatically update. This means you will leave the iPod set to automatically have iTunes add songs (and you don't have to manually drag songs). This should be the default setting. To check, go to edit-->preferences with the iPod connected and hit the iPod tab.
1) It will add all songs. You can change this though. Connect the iPod (perhaps the first time you are syncing). Go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Select only update checked songs. Now any songs you uncheck are removed from the iPod or not synced at all.
2) If you have the option I talked about above checked, it will add all new songs that are checked automatically. By default, iTunes will want to have all new content added. But, if you have the only update checked songs option enabled, then only new songs that are checked will be updated.
3) New playlists automatically sync to the iPod. If you change older playists, these changes will be reflected on your iPod the next time you sync.
