IPhone 5s using iOS 8.1 not syncing all music from iTunes

Before I updated to the iOS 8.1 (though I didn't ever do iOS 8), I was having problems with my computer saying some of my songs could not be located, then it randomly started working again, but my phone would show all the songs, and none of them would actually work, and look as though they were downloading themselves. Now that I've updated it's working for more songs but I'm still missing half of my library.

Did you already try to consolidate the iTunes library? iTunes will search for all listed music and make sure that all songs are part of the library:
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.

Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync. This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351

Ipod will not sync all music to itunes

I have just over 200 songs purchased from itunes using using Windows XP. New computer is Vista and when I try to sync from my ipod to itunes I get a message that tells me the last 100 songs cannot be transferred because computer is not authorized. Have re-authorized compter twice with no avail. How do I avoid losing $100 worth of music and build up my library on the new computer?
Thanks

Hello over_thetop,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Were these tracks purchased under a different account? Have you tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing to see if that helps.
Otherwise, see if this Apple support document can help.

My iPhone 5 will not sync any music from iTunes

I have ios 7.0.3 (the most recent update) and the newest version of itunes, and have never had a problem like this before. I am using the same computer I always do, which is authorized.
Yesterday I attampted to add 100 songs, which were already on my itunes, to my iPhone; my phone responded by not accecpting the new songs and deleting over 2500 songs previously on it. These songs still show up in my music app but will not play, iTunes also says that they are on my phone.I have tried adding these songs back multiple ways, such as: manually dragging them to the right of the screen and onto my phone, using the "on this iphone" option and adding songs, the normal way to sync music via checking off the playlist, and by adding the music by album, but to no avail. Each time I try this the sync begins, showing that I have approximately 4 GB free with the added music, but ends quickly (within 7 syncing steps maximum, not including music syncing) saying that I have around 18 gigs of open space, but the titles of the music still show up as being on my device. My phone still claims that there are 2700 songs on it, but refuses to play a vast majority of them, A few times when I have tried syncing I recieved a message claiming that my phone could not finish the sync.
Whatever is going on, I just want my music back as quickly and easily as possible.
Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

No sync my music from itunes to iphone 5

No sync my music from itunes iphone 5, which is on my PC. Photos and
notebook synchronized perfectly. My iPad synchronized to music at the
same time. I tried absolutely everything.
I am a musician. Why can not I upload my own music, which I wrote
myself to my iPhone 5?
How to solve this problem?

You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad? It will only sync purchased music.

You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.

When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens

it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?
