IPhone not synching all selected albums

With the iPhone connected to the computer and the music tab selected on the iTunes/iPhone page, "Sync music" is checked and the radio button for "Selected playlists" is selected. In the window containing my playlists, several playlists are checked. If I click on "Apply," only some of the playlists are transferred to the iPhone.
Also, if I uncheck "Sync music," I get a warning that all music will be erased from the iPhone, but that doesn't happen either.
Any suggestions?

Sorry Ralph, not answering your Q but I have the opposite problem. For years I happily downloaded checked playlists on to my Nano. I'm now the proud owner of an iPhone and when I check playlists and synch many, but not all albums are downloaded to my iphone too. I cannot find how to stop this.

IPhone not synching all photos.

I am having a strange issue with synching my iPhoto library with my iPhone. For some reason, only about half my photos get synched onto the phone. I had first noticed this when trying to dig up some photos of my son and noticing that I only had the ones from right after he was born about a year and a half ago. Even more curious, when I tried to reset photo synching by turning it off, the phone retained the pictures. Even stranger, I could not delete them from the iPhone by going to Settings>General>Usage.
My iPhoto library is on my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8. My iPhoto version is 9.2.3 (can't upgrade further without upgrading to Lion). I knew this was not an issue with insufficient space on my iPhone because the status bar at the bottom in iTunes indicates that even with the entire iPhoto library synching, 6 GB is left over.
I had seen a similar issue on someone's iPad, and the solution was to back it up through iTunes, restore the OS onto the iPad, and let the restored backup re-populate with data. Unfortunately, this did not work for my iPhone. I even turned off photo synching before the restore to confirm that there were no photos on the phone after the iOS restore. I then turned photo synching back on, and once again, only half of my iPhoto library synched. I got an error message on my phone that "3,268 photos could not be synched to your iPhone because of a problem. Check iTunes for details." However, there was no message in iTunes to indicate what the error was. The photos just did not synch.
Next, I tried emptying the iPod Photo Cache inside the iPhoto library and synched again. iTunes rebuilt the cache, but still did not synch the photos. I got the same error message on my phone, and no indication of a problem in iTunes.
The next thing I was going to try was to rebuild the iPhoto library, but if anyone out there has seen this issue and resolved it, please let me know, as it would save me a lot of time.

Hi mrchanbong,
When researching the error message you provided, I found the following resource which may assist you:

HT1386 i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

Ipod nano does not synch all contacts

ipod nano does not synch all contacts. When it synchs, it only transfers 7 of 2000+ contacts

My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.

IPhoto not synching all photos to iPhone 4S

Accidently posted in wrong forum please move to correct one

Itunes/iphone not recognizing all pictures in an iphoto folder

When I try to synch my iphone through itunes to a new iphoto folder, it is only recognizing 1 or 2 photos (when there are 8-10 photos in the folder). Lots of space on the iphone... itunes 4.0.3... any thoughts?

Tried reboot and reconnect on USB port... it appears the problem exists between iPhoto and iTunes... not the iPhone. In the iTunes synch window for Photos, all the albums on my Mac are shown with the number of photos in each. I created a new album specifically for photos that I wanted to transfer to my iPhone. This album comes up in the iTunes synch window, but it doesn't have the same number of photos as the same album does on iPhoto... it has only 1 or 2 pictures out of 8. It synchs these ok but is 'missing' the other six... thoughts?

IPhone not syncing all iPhoto pix even though Gigs of space left on iPhone?

Hello,
I have a 16GB iPhone.
My iPhoto Library is 2.5GB.
I've "albumed" all my photos in iPhoto.
When syncing my iPhone I've only selected a couple of albums (no more than about 2GB's worth).
For some reason, my iPhone won't accept all the pictures I have selected, even though their collective size is far less than the capacity of the phone. Some of the pictures have loaded but when I try and sync again, I get an error message stating, "No photos were copied to the iPhone because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and albums"....even though according to iTunes own "Capacity Bar", I still have 1.75GB of free space left on my iPhone.
Now, here's something else that is weird that I don't understand.
My iPhoto library is 2.5GB.
My iTunes "Capacity Bar" says that the partial amount of photos that I've already synced from iPhoto to my iPhone is 11.62GB?
How can that be? How can the same amount of pictures be 2.5GB on my computer and 11.62GB on my iPhone?
Can anybody explain this to me?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Justin

I'm having a similar problem, I have 70MB of memory remaining, which I know isn't a lot, but I have less than 1 MB of photos I'm trying to sync, and it refuses to let me have them. I can put a 50 MB app on at this point with no problem, but this 1MB of photos keeps hitting some kind of wall.

Sent email from my iPhone not synching with my desktop Mac

I am stumped. When I send email from my iPhone (using my POP account) the email is sent, shows up in my iPhone sent folder but does not show up in the sent folder in the Mail application on my desktop plus the little icon showing that I responded is not there. I guess it is not synching. This is a problem because I often don't recall if I responded to an email from my iPhone and I end up responding again to the email when I see it on my Mac desktop. My synch is working great with contacts and calendars, both push and fetch. I am also receiving emails, push and fetch, just fine. Can anyone offer advice or insight? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

IPhoto for iOS does not show all Facebook albums

iPhoto for is not showing all of my Facebook photo albums when I attempt to share photos. I have not been able to recognize any differences between the albums shown or not shown except maybe album age - older albums remain invisible. Quite annoying.
I have the latest iPad with latest SW and latest iPhoto.

When I use iPhoto for iOS to share to Facebook I first get a chance to share one photo or select several.
Then I see a choice to upload to an album, usually Wall Photos, but there in only that one album visible.
Tap on that album and more choices come up. These include, eventually, all of my albums. I can then choose the album to which I want to upload the photo(s).

IPhone not synching w/ iTunes

I recently upgraded my G5 to Leopard and ever since then I have been unable to synch my iPhone with iTunes. I have done all the basic troubleshooting steps and still having the same problem. When I connect the USB cable, the phone will charge and "vibrates" like it is connected, but does not synch. Wondering if the upgrade to Leopard from Tiger changed some settings somewhere. Any thoughts?

NO, it does not show up in iTunes. Cannot click the synch button since it does not show up..as you know. No error message pops up. It just acts like its being charged via an electrical outlet.

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

Iphone not synching properly

songs in the library and playing fine - just not loading onto the phone - manually selecting Albums only - Thank you.

I've got the same problem. Email syncs fine, as do contacts. Calendar attempts to sync, shows me a bunch of calender events, then they vanish and the phone continually loops trying to sync.
This is making the phone run red hot, likely chewing up a **** load of 3G data and emptying my battery in hours.
This only happened after a USB sync post installation of iTunes 8.1. Prior to the sync this worked just fine.
Nice work on the iTunes upgrade Apple.

Iphone not synching or showing up under devices in itunes

My iphone 4 suddenly not synching or showing up under devices in itunes. iPad works fine with either remote or connected synch. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi,
By the sound of it I have a similar problem and have also posted a question.
For me it is Iphone 4S and Ipad 2 - so two devices.
They are picked up under my computer but not Itunes/devices. I've also noticed that Itunes store doesnt open?
I don't have a solution either sadly.
Both my deviced IoS6 and itunes are up to date - think it must be an Itunes issue, but see no suggestions from the Big Apple

I cannot sync all selected albums on my touch

I have selected albums and on some albums I have selected them with only some songs ticked as I do not want the whole album When I sync it is not loading everything onto my iPod ?

Do the non-syncing one play i iTunes on the computer?
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)
