I've uploaded songs to my iTunes library on my MAC but I can no longer upload to my phone from my MAC.  Since I've uploaded all of the periodic upgrades after the automatic sync takes place I can no longer find my iPhone on my MAC

Since I've downloaded all of the "automatic upgrades" for both my iPhone and iTunes, once the "automatic sync" finishes when I connect my iPhone to my MAC, I have no way of finding my device and no way to mark new songs I've added to my music library on my MAC so they will automatically be uploaded to my iPhone the next time I connect it and do the automatic sync...

To repeat, I can still sync everything just fine from my computer to my old IPhoone 3S and to my ancient iPad, buit not to the new phone. I have tried every imaginable combination of WiFi and iCloud settingson or off, and syncing the entire library or just specific playlists and such. I am at a loss.
Please accept my apology if I sounded elementary to you. One never knows what level of expertise he is posting to. My thought based on the message I'm focusing on here is that IF in fact you are able to sync just fine with ancient devices but not your new device I would be thinking strongly about updates to either itunes or to your OS.
Good luck.

  • ICal won't let me the period over which an event will take place

    I used to be able to enter a period over which an event would take place in iCal (desktop, not MobileMe) Since converting to Lion, this option is not available. There is no place to enter "from" and "to". Curiously, it is still possible to do so in iCal on MobileMe (via the web.), as it used to be on my desktop iCal (available via the dock). If anyone has any idea what's wrong, it would be appreciated.

    Ferd II, you genius! It worked like a charm. I changed the region from the default Custom to Canada and iCal again works as it should.
    But the bonus that came with your solutuion is even better.
    Lion inexplicably changed every single file-modification date on my computer – including those on files I'd backed up on a hard drive.on backup drives – to January 5 2011. I spent days trying to figure out what was wrong. (An answer is still pending from Apple techs who were also unable to explain what happened.)
    I was despairing of not being able to retrieve the orginal dates. Naturally, when I saw the dreaded January 5 2011 as the example in the system pref for Language and Text, I figured it was another instance of conversion.
    But when I set the region to Canada, every one of the corrupted file dates, all those January 5 2011s, reverted to their proper modification dates! Amazing. The only one that didn't is the example/default in the Language and Text pref box.
    I will let Apple's techies know that Ferd II solved the problem.
    Thank you so much for your help and for sticking with the problem. I can now sync my iPhone without fear of infecting it.

  • TS1424 I have 2 artists - beyonce and celine dion - songs in my itunes library on my computer but when I try and download to my mp3 player it says I do not have media rights. Only these 4 songs have that problem.

    I have 2 artists - Beyonce and Celine Dion - their purchased songs in my ITunes library cannot be imported to my MP3 player. My other 200 songs have no problems. Get a message that there are no "Media Rights". I have no idea how to solve.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • Can I pick and choose which songs in my iTunes library I want to upload to the cloud

    Can I pick and choose which songs in my iTunes library I want to upload to the cloud?

    Hi,
    You can't pick and chose what tracks to match but I suggest that you read this Managing iTunes match with over 25k tracks

  • How do I set up iTunes to automatically move on to play the next album after the last one has finished? (in Album view)

    How do I set up iTunes to automatically move on to / play the next album after the last one has finished? (in Album view).
    This used to happen automatically in Genre view.

    Hi Henryhippo,
    If you have questions about play order in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful; I believe you can use the Play Next or Add to Up Next to add albums as well as songs.

  • When I double click on a song in my iTunes Library i receive the following: the song "....." could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

    Greetings all
    When i double click on a song in my iTunes library the following appears:
    The song "......" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    Hope you can help

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song. Is there a way to do it?

    No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

  • How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • I erase by mistake my itunes library, then in my trash I foud it and do put it back; but now all the song are in itunes library but they can find any of them. what can I do?

    Have you looked at the settings in iTunes.  Is music syncing manual or automatic.  More info please.  I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

  • The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.

    The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.
    Please advise where this is in the new version?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

  • HT1660 Can I geotag the songs in my iTunes library?

    I would like the ability to geotag the songs in my iTunes library -  essentially Places for iTunes. Is there currently any way to do this? Any plans for it? Once I thought of it, it seemed so obvious that I could not believe it was not already possible. 
    There are some music streaming utilities that do something similar for social networks, but I am not interested in that.

    That usually indicates an incomplete download.  Did you try tapping the song to see if it would continue to download and play?  Also be sure you are either connected to wifi, or have Use Cellular Data turned on in Settings>iTunes & App Store so you can access it over your cellular data connection.

  • I lost my iPod Nano. Can I retrieve all of the songs in my itunes library, or just the ones I purchased from the store?

    I lost my iPod Nano. Can I retrieve all of the songs in my iTunes library, or just the ones I bought through the iTunes store?

    The "bar" at the bottom does not say anything about all of your songs being on the iPod.  It just shows you how much of its storage capacity is being used, based on what is on the iPod.
    If you see "On This iPod," that means the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible.  This is easier to describe with the sidebar visible, so from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  There is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if (?) your iTunes music library fits on the iPod.  With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the iPod, and new songs get synced automatically.  A 7th gen iPod nano is 16GB, so your iTunes music library would have to be less than 16GB (not counting non-music content on the iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod from the lists below.  If you want newly added songs to sync to the iPod, they must be part of your selection.  For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the iPod.
    When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the iPod's Music screen) sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

  • I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play

    I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play, this happens after 2 songs play

    Finally achieved my fix by changing channels on my Billlion router to 11, and not letting the ATV sleep.  Give it a try, I spent a good four frustrating weeks until I did this.
