I have a song that won't sync from my Mac Book to my iphone no matter what I try. Any suggestions?

I purchased a song from itunes and it downloaded to my Macbook and plays fine but it won't sync to my iphone. After that purchase I bought another song and it synced fine. Anyone know why this might be happening?

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

My ical is not syncing from my mac book to my iphone, where do I start? thanks

my ical is not syncing from my macbook to my iphone, where do i begin?

It sounds like when you are adding an event to your iCal (on your computer) it is adding it only to your "local" calendar, and not your iCloud calendar.
For example, this is a screenshot of the list of my calendars in iCloud.
Ensure that your iCloud calendar is the default by...
Open iCal
Go to Preferences > General
Select your "Default Calendar" (towards the middle of the window)
Cheers!

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
(I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)

I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

I have one song that will not transfer from iTunes to iPod Touch

I have one song that at one time was on my iPod. I have since bought another version of the song and since then the newer purchase of the song is on the iPod but the first one I bought is in iTunes but is not on my iPod any longer. I have tried to transfer it several times but it just won't transfer to my iPod. What could be the problem?

I read a post about something like this. I forget the details, but my advice is to rename the original song's track Name to something like "song (original)" and see if it will sync.
You can always change it back if this doesn't work.

My Itunes has songs that won't sync with my Ipod??

As of recently and for no reason, when I plug my Ipod into the computer it won't sync up songs anymore. Although here is the odd thing: I recently purchased 4 albums, they have stayed on my recently purchased area of my Ipod, yet all of the other songs I have purchased prior to that are not coming up on my Ipod yet they are on my Itunes.....What do I do??? I have like 300 songs that I would like to listen too, especially since I paid for them THANK YOU!

Correct.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Selected videos won't sync from Aperture through iTunes to my iPhone 5s

I don't know if this is an iPhone issue, an Aperture issue, or an iTunes issue . . .
I'm using Aperture, on my iMac, and have created albums that contain videos (as well as photos). Some videos are iPhone-created that I imported from my iPhone into Aperture (since iCloud/Photostream does not automatically cloud videos); some videos were created by me in a separate program (iMovie or FCPX) and then down-mixed to put into my Aperture album. I'm trying to sync my Aperture album (not Event, but Album) to my iPhone 5s so that I have an album on my iPhone directly mimicking my Aperture album.
The pictures come over perfectly, sorted by date as they are in Aperture. However, the videos have issues. Most importantly, only the ones originally created by my iPhone come back across to my phone, and in the correct album. Anything that I've created (Final Cut Pro X or iMovie) are not coming through (down-mixed as .mov files).
I do have the "include videos" box checked in iTunes; that only serves to bring over the iPhone-created movies, some of which it dropped into the synced album, some of which it decided to put into my videos album.
Anyone out there have any ideas what I could be doing differently? I'd like all my videos in my Aperture album to come across to my iPhone in the same album.
Second smaller issue is that movies I made on my iPhone 5s in slo-mo, though they imported to Aperture in slo-mo, are syncing back to my iPhone 5s in real time, not slo-mo.
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhone: 5s, 8.0.2
iMac: 10.9.5
iTunes: 11.4(18)

As a follow-up, I down mixed the video in FCPX using "Apple Devices" 720p. That did not help.

I have a late 2008 Mac Book Pro and would like to upgrade to 8G, any suggestions on a brand? I can only find Ramjet or Cruical for the upgrade and there is a $30 difference in price.

I ahve a late 2008 Mac Book Pro and would like to upgrade the memory to 8g. I can only find 2 options Crucial and Ramjet. There is a $40 difference in the cost. Does anyone know if one is better than the other?

I have gotten my RAM from either Crucial or Macsales. They are both excellent.

I have tons of songs that won't sync and it is not clear where the info in itunes about this problem is.

Last sync there were over 1000 things than wouldn't sync. I get the wonderful message to see iTunes for help but ther is no info on where that mystery info is. I have made sure my newer computer and phone are authorized. It seems like more and more of the content I have paid for is dissapearing every time I sync.

I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have one song that i want moved from itunes to my iphone WITHOUT erasing my iphone playlists which happens each time i sync. please help

I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have uploaded a CD into my itunes library. I would like to add one song only to my iphone. I have created playlists on my iphone and each time I sync all of my iphone playlists get erased and I have to recreated them. after the sixth time, I am very hesitant to do any kind of syncing. Is there a way to just move one song without syncing? I have read some posts that talk about this but have not been able to do it. For example, the "summary tab" does not exist on my version of itunes. I tried drag and drop on itunes as explained in their help section but that did not move the song to my iphone. Please help

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

Itunes won't sync from my home computer to my iphone 6

I bought my iphone 6 yesterday. It has no music on it. I went home to sync it with my home computer and got this message on itunes: "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I don't have any purchased items on my new iPhone.
I then followed their directions and slicked on Store > Authorize This Computer and put in the apple id and then got this message: "This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have 2 computers out of your available 5."
Any ideas on what I need to do to get MY music from my computer to my iPhone 6?
Thanks!

My music won't sync from my iTunes Library to my iPhone 5s

So my new iPhone 5s wasn't functioning and I needed to get a replacement. I forgot that I hadn't synced the phone to my computer since my old 4S, as I had collected much more music since then. Whenever I try to sync it, it says it is going through the syncing steps at the top, but only takes a few seconds, and then nothing has changed on my phone. Why I apply the changes in order to put the music on the phone, the bar at the bottom (which shows how much data is left and what data that is) that signifies music and gets larger and shows the correct amount of memory it should take up on my phone. After the supposed "syncing", the memory bar goes away.
There is plenty of room for the music to be put on, probably 20 GB or so... Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jack

I have Windows 2003 XP and I cannot get Firefox 4 to work, no matter what I try. Suggestions?

When I install FF4, the search bar and Firefox (larger) icon appear above the search box, but there is absolutely no text on the screen whatsover. I can type in an entry, and the text in the search box does appear, but when I click the "go to" arrow or press <Enter> nothing happens. The screen is completely static. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF4, to no avail...finally, I found 3.6.13 online and reinstalled it, so I can use this browser, but cannot upgrade to 4.0. I have never had this kind of issue when upgrading FF before.

Try going to Firefox 4 Safe Mode and see if it works http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode
If it works go here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_disable-all-extensions
Find the faulty extension, disable it, find a substitute or wait for an upgrade.

How to easily delete songs from itunes that won't sync?

I just bought my first ipod (a 32Gb Touch), however I have been using itunes for about two years and have about 4100 songs in itunes.
After my initial install years ago, I tested the sync with a friends ipod. Now there are about 100 of these songs in itunes that were his, which prompt me that they can't sync everytime I sync my Touch.
I would like to just delete them, but I don't see any way to sort or select these 100 songs in a group to delete them and I dread the idea of going through my large song list and deleting them one at a time.
Does anyone have an easier way of mass selecting and deleting songs that won't sync? I wish itunes would let me do thins right from the list it was showing me, but no luck.
Thanks!

Sort by *Date Added* and they should all be at the same place in the list.

TS4062 i have 16 songs that did not download to my iphone, don't know what the problem is--have several songs that did download, am i doing something wrong?

i have 16 songs that won't download to my iphone. i have several songs that did go thru. Am i doing something wrong.

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*
