Iphone is about to synch 2gb of songs, then suddenly drops to nothing
Hello
My iphone was allowing add to itunes library/transfer to iphone no probs until it sort of crashed and showed the usb > itunes screen of death thing. I tried to restore on main computer but main computer kept failing to download the restore driver/software. so next day successfully restore iphone on work pc. since then i cannot transfer music onto iphone on either computer. the library is the same on both (copied from my external hard drive) but if i synch 'entire library' or 'selected folder' etc it appears as if it will copy everything (because the blue audio section in the capacity bar goes up) but then it doesn't 'determine any songs to synch' and the blue section drops down to almost nothing - just copied one random album?
I tried the same on the 2nd pc and the same happened again.
Before i used to be able to drag from library to iphone but now i get the 'no entry' sign.
Tried 'Manually manage music and videos' but now that gives the no entry sign as well.
Has the restore removed some user permissions or something? Is it because i've now got the iphone synched to 2 different computers? - although i went through the procedure and was told i have successfully synched 2 of 5 allowed.
Been searching for a way to transfer music without using itunes cos this is v frustrating.
I'm guessing this has happened to someone else who can offer some advice?
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
I am a user of iPhone 4 that they gave to me .. then suddenly my brother restored it and we cannot identify the apple id and password that have used to unlock this phone.. please help me .. because i can't use anymore my phone
Please Help me .. im from Philippines
thx a lot apple company
<Email Edited By Host>This is not Apple we are all users here
You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you -
I have only had my iphone for about six weeks, and today it just died. Nothing happened to it, but I went to call someone and the screen was black, now it won't turn on or charge!????
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
I'm editing a band by deleting songs I do not like on iTunes on my PC. When I believe I'm deleting a song it ends up deleting ALL of the songs by that band (this is after I've deleted many individual songs sucessfully)! This has happened twice since the new version of iTunes. The first time I tried to restore the songs from my recycle bin but they just vanished when I tried to restore them. The second time (today) the songs were not even in the recycle bin. Has this happened to anyone else out there? I have to now relocate all of those cd's and then reinstall them and go through them and put songs back onto various playlists (I have a lot of them). Hassle!!!
Time you backed up so you can recover in the event of a crisis.

Nano plays 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one
My ipod nano plays about 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one. It is very frustrating. Any answers?
Does this happen with every track you try to play or only certain ones? Does it happen to these same tracks in iTunes?
Make sure the Shake to Shuffle feature has not been turned on it Settings -> Music.

My ipod touch is randomly playing songs on its own. It skips several songs then suddenly stops and plays that song. If i try to select a song it will not play that song it keeps skipping over severla songs at a time then plays again. The album covers do not match that song that is playing and now its not connected to wifi. I need help
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Im not sure what garage band is, but i can tell you the way apple recommends making ringtones. Highlight a song in iTunes, right click and select get info. Goto the options tab and youll see the time lengths (write down the ending time) for the start time type in where you want the ringtone to start, ringtones can only be 30 sec long so make the ending time 30 sec later. Exit it out of the info and while song highlighted goto the "advanced" tab at the top of iTunes where you will see an option that says "create aac version". after creating the aac version you will have a duplicate song in your iTunes, change the original back to the correct time length. Take the 30 sec aac version and drag it to your desktop, right click the icon and click "preferences" You will then be able to change the name of the file which will be somethign to the effect of "songnamehere.m4a" you just change the m4a to m4r. you now have a ringtone, drag the new file to iTunes where it will pop up in a new tab labled ringtones. If you cannot change the name of the file when it is on your desktop let me know and i will give you instuctions how to be able to change it. Once you get it figured out you can use any song you have on iTunes to make a ringtone.

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

IPhone 4s - iTunes sync includes 1000 extra songs that aren't on my phone or iTunes
iPhone 4s 32GB
MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
1 TB hard drive (recently installed)
IOS: 7.1.2
OS: 10.6.8
iTunes 11.4 (18)
When my iphone 4s syncs with itunes the audio portion of the capacity graph says I have 2900 songs, or 18.22 GB of music. However, my phone only has 1949 songs on it ("1949" visible both in the Music app under the Songs tab, and in Settings/General/About), which amounts to around 16.41 GB.
The amount of available space listed fluctuates among different applications (iTunes, Settings, and iStat) but is always between 500 MB and 1 GB. If this takes into account that I only have 1949 songs then I should have at least 1 GB more free than I have. Instead, this seems to mean that there is space being taken up on my phone for almost 1000 songs that aren't anywhere to be found.
I have my phone synced to only one playlist, which has exactly 1949 songs. I have no music videos or movies synced.
This has been going on for quite some time now, and I have tried restoring my phone in the past but it did not help get rid of these 1000 nonexistent songs. My only thought is that it has something to do with purchased music on iTunes that I have deleted from my phone, yet somehow is still on my phone by some error. I have found no music on my phone that is not in my synced playlist, so I am truly at a loss as to what could be causing this.
I would love to have the extra space, and have been frustrated by this for a long time! Could anybody possibly help me out? I will be happy to provide more information if needed.
Thanks!Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem. -
my iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

IPhone plays part of a song then starts next
So i was listening to a song then all of a sudden it switches to the next song, when it happened to be right in the middle of the song. In iTunes the song has worked perfectly, and on other iPods, but on my iPhone it does this to a variety of songs. WHat i can do is go to the song and seek past the point it skips and itll play, but thats a hassle. Anyways i tested converting the song from mp3 to acc on iTunes, that seemed to fix the problem, however acc files are about 2x larger than mp3s so its hard to manage on an iPhone. Advice?
You're welcome.
I don't know if there is another way to resolve this. All my music imported into iTunes from a music CD was imported using AAC High Quality (128 kbps). I have no problems playing any of this music on my iPhone.
SO acc could be 2x the size depending on the quality.
No - a music file should be smaller in size using AAC - comparing the same song imported using MP3 Good Quality (128 kbps), which is the lowest setting for importing using MP3, to AAC High Quality (128 kbps) which is the lowest setting for importing using AAC.
All music purchased from the iTunes Store which includes DRM protection, is imported using AAC High Quality (128 kbps).
Copied from this link under - Get the best quality compression when importing music.
http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/itunes/it1-2.html
+When importing CDs with iTunes, iTunes will save your songs in a near CD quality format known as Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). *AAC is the format of songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store. AAC provides higher quality with smaller file sizes than another popular format known as MP3.*+ -
My album is not litsed alphabetically but it is when synced from PC to iphone. How do I keep the songs list in my iphone as it is in my album?
Check the section in the User Guide for Music, It might help you navigate around the app a little better: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
To reiterate, some reasons you may not be getting Albums group as you want:
Songs are not properly tagged in itunes prior to synching (you should also make sure Album Artist is tagged, BTW)
You are using the wrong view in the Music app -
I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
Dan_nz.There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
