I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

Hi Mike,
I have Iphones since they cam out buy IO7 on my iphone 4 is slow and frustrating. I sync itunes with sync window. I tried cable and wireless. I have enough space. If I have a playlist say with 200 songs it will say on itunes sync window syncing 200 songs however I only get 150 songs on my iphone. I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

Cannot Sync Photos and Music with iTunes

After I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 5s to iOS 8, I cannot remove my music from my iPad to create more space, and I cannot restore the photos that was removed from my phone during the update process. With my iPad, I tried removing the music with iTunes on my Mac and the message appears asking if I want to remove music after I uncheck sync music, but it did nothing to my iPad, even after I synced multiple times. I even tried removing music on my iPad by going to Setting>General>Usage>Music, but one I clicked on Music the app would crash to the home screen. I have tried doing this with or without it connect to iTunes, as well as restarting it but nothing works. It keeps crashing.
With my iPhone I tried syncing photos multiple times but it is always stuck on (step 5 of 6: Importing photos), where it will continue for hours and then give up. I tried unchecking the sync photos first and then tying to sync it with the photos again but the same problem persists. I also tried removing the iPod Photo cache from my iPhoto Library and then syncing it again but nothing.

Problems solved! Apparently when iTunes 10.5 is installed, the settings for what to sync, e.g. photos, music is reset to the default in which no content is synched. What's more, these settings are not particularly obvious in the Windows version on iTunes, as you have to scroll down to actually see them. There is also no message or other information as part of the upgrade process that warns that theses boxes will revert to being unchecked after the upgrade.
From a user-centered design process, POV the upgrade and its instructions are woefully disappointing :-(

Cannot sync pictures or music

I have BlackBerry Link 1.2.0 build 17 on OSX 10.9.1 (macbook pro), and my Z10 (10.2.0.429) no longer syncs pictures or music. When I connect the Z10 with a USB cable and drag a picture from the Z10 to the "This Computer" field in Link, the Activity window shows the activity, iPhoto appears and dissappears, but no pictures are transferred. If I let it do a whole bunch, same thing. This worked successfully until a few weeks ago. OSX and Z10 have both been rebooted.
Any suggestions?
thanks
mike

This info is for a PC, must be similar for a MAC, you can find it here, open Link, click help top right and scroll down to the section "Some files didn't sync"
Some files didn't sync
Try the following actions:
Verify that the battery power level of your BlackBerry device is 20% or higher. Syncing will not begin if the battery level is lower than 20%. Your battery level indicator appears at the top of the home screen on your device.
If you are trying to sync your music, pictures, videos, or documents between your computer and your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you must connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable.
If you changed a file on both your device and your computer, the version of the file on your computer is the version that BlackBerry Link syncs. The version of the file on your device is overwritten by the version on your computer.
If you have a media card in your device and you have turned on USB mass storage on your device, BlackBerry Link can't access the files on your device. For information about how to turn off the USB mass storage setting, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.
Verify that your device has enough available storage for your music, pictures, videos, and documents. Consider using a higher capacity media card for your device.
Verify that your songs don't contain any digital rights management (DRM) technologies.
Verify that your files are in a supported format.
If your videos didn't sync and the video extension is supported, verify that your video or audio codecs are supported.
If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that a file wasn't deleted. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, select the Notify me if syncing content will delete content from my device or computer checkbox.
If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that there wasn't a conflict. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, click Configure to check your sync preferences and conflict resolution options. You can also click Show Recent Activity.
Verify that your contacts and calendar sync preferences, including the option to sync automatically are set correctly.
If your device is activated on BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, verify with your administrator that BlackBerry Link can access the files on your device.

I cannot sync non purchased music

Hi i have recently added my iphone 5 onto my existing itunes library, it has synced my music to it however it has only synced the tracks what are down as purchased, it will not transfer songs that i have ripped from cd's.
Can anyone help me please

Hello clem1988,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone. It sounds like you are seeing just your purchased music, which is visible from iTunes in the Cloud (there is a cloud icon next to the items that stream and are not actually on your device).
When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked. From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
I recommend reviewing the full article here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Cannot sync ipod, no music show up

I'm want to sync my ipod with itunes and after a success sync, the ipod show me no music, and after i plugin the ipod, itunes say's that it cannot read content and that I have to restore it.

Read the stuff on reallocated sectors via the links in the earlier post. When modern hard drives get a patch of data they can't read back properly they attempt to silently self-heal by using a different area of the drive for that block in future. There is a limit however to how much space has been put to one side for that process. As the number of unreadable sectors escalates it becomes likely that just using the drive is causing futher damage. I think you're about maxed out on the sectors available for remapping. A DFU restore might release those 216 pending sectors, and putting data back on in small chunks might work for a bit, but it would only be a temporary fix at best.

Cannot sync Family Share music to my PC's iTunes?

Updated PC and iPhone's iOS to the latest, and my husband and I started utilizing the Family Share feature now available under iCloud. While we both were able to download songs from the other's library to our phones, I cannot seem to see those downloads in my PC's iTunes. I have tried syncing, signing out and signing out, checking for available downloads, etc. Also, oddly, when I plug my phone in to the PC, the new songs show up in the "On This Iphone" tab, but not under music. I know that you can authorize up to 5 computers to have Family Share content on them, I just cannot figure out how. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

3GS on iOS 6 will not sync most of music via cable

I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 6, and most of my music will not sync via cable. I can check it all in iTunes, but the space allocation bar in iTunes does not change (on iOS5 I only had 1G free, now I have 8 G free), but only about 1/4 shows up on the phone. I did full restore--no change. I checked fill free space with songs--no change. Help! It might be that only music bought from iTunes is syncing and music I ripped myself or bought from Amazon is not syncing--i.e. my enire pre-iphone collection.

Ok solved my own problem--but this is squirrely. In itunes, at the bottom of the "Summary" tab for your phone, is an "Options" section. For some reason, having "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked here only allowed 47 of 1900 songs to sync--even if they were checked on the music tab. Unchecking this box and managing music from the music tab alone fixed the issue.

HT1386 iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) cannot sync with itunes 11.1.5.

Both my iPhone and iTunes are updated, iOS 7.1 and iTunes 11.1.5. However, not only can they not wifi sync, when I plug in my iPhone, my iTunes doesn't respond. The iPhone tab did not pop up. When I go under "File" -> "Devices", nothing is there when my iPhone is plugged in. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but I cannot do anything right now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that didn't change a thing. I restarted my laptop and my iPhone, but that didn't change a thing either. What can I do?

Windows 8?

TS2529 just updated my iphone 4; now I cannot sync with my music on my mac nor download music from itunes. all other items: photos, calendar, email syncs; not music. how do i get music on my iPhone?

I just updated my iPhone 4. I now cannot synch with music on my iMac nor can I download from iTunes. All other syncing activity works: calendars, email, ibooks and contacts are all automatically updated across all devices. Not music.
How do I get music to download and sync?

Plug your phone into itunes.
Click the iphone there, and go to the music tab.
Is the Sync Music tab checked off? And is the entire music library selected?

Cannot sync entire iTunes music library to iPhone 6?

Just returned from one on one training at the Apple Store, and the helper could not figure out a solution to my problem. I have 2432 songs in my iTunes library, but only 1782 of them will sync onto the phone. iTunes Match is turned off. The phone is 64GB so there is plenty of storage space. (38.2 GB available) We are syncing through a USB connection. We tried deleting all the music followed by a fresh sync. 700+ songs won't transfer .. I haven't yet determined which ones. The helper said the genius will probably suggest reinstalling the OS. Anybody else have this problem? Phone is running IOS 8.0.2 MBA is running 10.9.5. iTunes is 11.4

Here's how I synced iPo=hone 6 (updated to OSX 8.3) with iTunes (Version 1.1.2.27)
1.     Turned on iTunes match on the computer (iMac) where my music library was located.
2.     Turned on iTunes match on iPhone 6 (Settings>Music>iTunes Match).
3.     Hard boot iPhone.
4.     Restarted iPhone.
5.     Disconnected iPhone to computer.
6.     Closed iTunes on computer.
7.     Restarted computer.
8.     Connected iPhone to computer then restarted iPhone.
9.     Restarted iTunes.
10.   Clicked on iPhone icon in iTunes.
11.   In iPhone SUMMARY menu, selected BACKUP option button THIS COMPUTER.
12.   Selected BACK UP NOW.
13.   Following backup, in OPTIONS section, checked box SYNC ONLY CHECKED SONGS AND VIDEOS.
14.   Clicked APPLY.
15.   Clicked SYNC.
The key is making sure you turn on ITUNES MATCH, then matching up your music library.
Good luck.

Cannot Sync Movies or Music to from iTunes on Mac Mini to Apple TV

Hello,
In itunes on my Mac Mini I can see my ATV and when I click on the ATV the only tab I have is the photos tab. I don't have a Movies tab to sync my movies. I have my ATV and itunes at the latest level and this is the first time I have tried to sync movies. Up until now I have just streamed the movies from the Mini, but I have 150Gb of space on the ATV that I would like to use.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I too need the answer to this question. My Apple Tv was syncing just fine with iTunes up until I updated to iTunes 8.1 and then left town for a week. I returned, and my Apple TV would not appear in the Devices list in iTunes.
I tried connecting the AppleTV both via wireless and ethernet, and it never appeared in iTunes. Then I set up sharing between iTunes on my computer and the Apple TV and it finally showed up in the Devices list in iTunes, but it only shows the 'Summary' and 'Photos' tabs and will not sync music or movies with the computer. It was all working just fine before. I don't really care what happened (though Apple should) and would be happy to just get the Apple TV syncing again. How do I re-link it as a primary?
For what it's worth, the Apple TV does not show up in "iTunes Preferences > Apple TV > Apple TVs connected to iTunes". I've restarted the Apple TV, the router, and my computer, with no improvement in the situation.
Message was edited by me to add some info.
