I downloaded some music a friend gave me and it will not transfer to my phone. It is sitting in the "not on this iPhone" tab with grey circles next to it. It is also sitting in my iTunes library but will not transfer. Help please!

Help please! Question is in topic. I haven't been able to figure this out.

i guess i just wasn't waiting long enough. after about a half-hour, songs began to update. i hope this is not normal and is only happening the first time.

    Try redownloading the music via the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account. Sign in and go to Purchase History and verify you purchased it.,

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

  • Itunes says my iphone music library its synced to another itunes library but thats not true

    Hello I have an Iphone 5s that i have always synced with my laptop, i sync almost everything except for movies... Today I updated to the latest iTunes version and now when I plug my iphone and go to the music sync page the check box is unmarked and if i try to mark it it give me the next dialog:
    Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to “Holder’s iPhone” from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library.
    It says that my iphone is synced to another library but thats not true, I only use my laptop.
    I don't want to go thru all that process of deleting all the music I have synced and do it all over again!
    Has anyone had the same issue?

    Check out this Apple document -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    For the stuff that was purchased from the iTunes store, you can be redownload it or transfer it off of iOS devices.
    Apple has had this long standing "one way street" rule for content that wasn't purchased from iTunes (copyright laws). But you should be able to search the web for companies that aren't as strict, and may allow other backups/transfers.

  • ITunes library missing half its content - Help please!!

    Hello, I was importing an audiobook into iTunes today. I used a programme called Chapter and Verse to convert the mp3 into an mp4 audiobook and then import it into iTunes. I had 100+ books in my library, various apps and lots of music. Now I have 1 book, no apps and hardly any music. iTunes seems to be pointing to the correct place on my PC but it isn't reading it right. What happened? What can I do?
    thx.

    Now that I've had time to careful examine your directions (since I don't have a home network set up, don't really see the need for one, just more sh*t to break, more potential holes for crackers, etc), I realize this isn't going to work for me.
    The problem is that I made a crucial error when I first set up my music folders.
    In order to save space, I didn't create one folder where all of the songs/pics/videos would be stored that I placed on my iPod. So I would simply copy the albums/songs to the iTunes library, but leave the physical location alone. With my present computer, hdd space was a limitation, esp since I like to play with a lot of different formats not compatible (WHY OH WHY has Apple not ported the Ogg codec to the iPod--it's completely free and it would add another level or flexibility to the products, giving another edge over Zune and other competitors, but that's another post).
    Therefore, the songs on my iPod were in four different locations. Since I have heavily customized them, "consolidation" simply won't work. And recreating the file structure on my new PC (arrives tomorrow) simply won't work without a LOT of extra work.
    While I will lost my song counts, ratings and have to relocate a lot of album artwork, that will be far easier than recreating the folder structure (since I don't want to lose my customizations."
    Thanks again for your help. I'll file it away for "next" time.
    Appreciate it.

  • Is icloud supposed to push music from cds that I downloaded to my pc? The cds are in my itunes library but are not being pushed to my ipad

    Any help is appreciated.

    When I delete songs from iTunes, iTunes often asks me whether to keep or trash the file, but often it does not.
    First, I do not really know why it does not always ask me what to do with the file itself. Any idea?
    iTunes will ask you if you want to keep or trash files when
    (a) you have +keep iTunes media folder organized+ enabled in preferences > advanced
    (b) the files are in your iTunes music (or media) folder in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes
    Second, since iTunes does not always ask what to do with the file, my iTunes library is currently filled with ghost files of songs that I have deleted from iTunes. Any idea how I could locate and delete these files?
    try this:
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v1.1*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

  • I have lost my iTunes Library...AGAIN! Help please!!

    I have lost my library several times now. Each time this has happened I get the message "The "iTunesLibrary.itl" does not appear to be a valid music library file. iTunes has created a new music library and renamed this file to "iTunesLibrary(damaged).itl". Then when it opens all of my music is gone. Luckily I have not synched my ipod and have not lost my music from it. I don't know how to fix this or how to get my music back from my ipod into my library. Any help would be GREAT!! Thanks!

    What is hapenning is that your iTunes LIbrary (the database containing your songs names, ratings, playcounts, playlists, etc but not your actual mustic files) is corrupted. Usually this means that your Music files are still on your computer and you just need to revert to an older non-corrupted Library file to retore everything.
    Here are Apple's instructions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301895
    If that doesn't work then read this excellent post:

    which describes other methods of getting your Library back including software that will let you copy your music from your iPod to your iTunes.

  • Can't download some music after deleting all content and settings reset. Even with Icloud backup.

    Hey gusy,
    I've reseted All my Content and Settings after my Icloud backup. I wanted to download all my songs back on my phone. I could download most of them, but in some of them it says:This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 63 days." Even though I bought the songs!

    Do you have more than one Apple ID? Do you have iTunes match? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204074
