IPhone not syncing all my music

Windows XP
iTunes 11.1.3.8
iPhone 4s, iOS 7.1
2.3GB available
I have seen some posts on this, obviously many other frustrated folks who, like me, cannot get all their songs onto their phone. in iTunes my iPhone pages says 459 songs, and when I hit sync for a moment the blue bar (representing songs) gets longer, then suddenly shrinks back and no more songs load. Stuck now at 296. Tried the hard reset, as well as clearing all the songs and reloading. Everytime I try something I seem to get even fewer songs loaded (at one point had over 400, then 320, now down to 296!)
help!

I won't add to the trail of tears I have seen over this issue, nor will I pile on to Apple for the truly user-unfriendly interface. Basically what i found is that i had to clear both the phone AND the iTunes library in order to get all my songs back:
1. Copied every some in the MY MUSIC folder to a new folder somewhere other than MY MUSIC
2. went into iTunes Library, selected every song, DELETE from both library and PC
3. Sync. This empties the phone
4. Move my songs back into MY MUSIC folder (I would copy, just in case)
5. Then ADD FOLDER and add the MY MUSIC folder
6. Sync. This brought all her sings back onto the phone
It worked! All 400+ songs now on the phone.

IPhone not syncing all of music.

I have a 16gb iPhone 3Gs that I only use as an iPod now. I have recently been buying some new music on it and trying to sync it up and first I noticed my playlists werent syncing up. Now I do have SEVERAL songs that need to be "located" which is not big deal but most of these songs on my playlists were just bought on itunes and they are not syncing either. So then I go to all the music and notice that not even half have synced. I have almost 2000 songs in my library but only about 400 something synced. I know I do not have that much music that needs to be "located" and like I said, a lot of it is new and has been bought from iTunes and it wasnt there either. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Could someone please give me a little bit of insight.

Anyone?? Please help!!

Itune do not sync all my music on my iPhone 4

I Sync all my music library on my iPhone4 and iPad. iTunes tell me that I have 2195 songs to Sync. On my iPad, all the songs is their.
But on my iPhone, he only Sync 2046 songs (the size used on my iPad versus my iPhone confirm that I have song missing 0.7 GB missing).
I still have 4.8 GB Free on my iPhone, this is not a memory problem.
I have removed all my music on my iPhone, and he is syncing the same amount of music.
If is their a reason that the iPhone will Sync less song?

I removed the "my music" folder, but still I have all songs from this folder in OVI Music.

My iTunes is not syncing all my music to my iphone despite goin throuh the motions and saying its syncing

It starts out normal as if it's syncing properly and then reverts back. Stating its complete however half of my music is not synced and it says I have all the space available

I had similar problem. Found an answer and it worked fine. First, connect your 4s to your Mac and iTunes. Go to device, music and deselect Sync Music at very top. Then, go to Summary and Sync the 4s. Note that when finished all your music will be gone off the 4s. disconnect the iPhone from the computer and do a Hard Shutdown or reboot/reset. You do this by:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Reconnect to the computer and iTunes. Go to device, music, and check Sync Music. Then select Sync on the summary page. When finished all my songs and playlists were back on the iPhone the way they should be. Good luck.

IPhone not syncing all music

I recently got iTunes Match and don't understand why I can't have it enabled and sync all of the selected music I wanted. All of my music appears to be availible in the cloud as I have the option to download on my phone over WiFi which would take forever. I have tried manually syncing my music and I selected all of my playlists and only ten or less songs are syncing to the phone after sync is "completed." I have tried this with iTunes Match on and off on my phone. I'm frustrated because I got an iPhone so that this process would be easy. Any help would be appreciated.

Called Apple, somehow most of the songs on my iTunes got "unchecked" and only the few "checked" songs that were left were syncing onto my iPhone.

I can't synchronize a few songs, if i want to do this i have to remove all my music from my iphone and sync all the music again

I have got an iphone 4s and to add some songs to the music library i have to remove all my music from my iphone and then sync it all again to just add some new songs, it requires a lot of time, can somebody help me!??

Hey baby birch
You are able to sync purchased content from your iDevice to a new computer as long as the comptuer is authorized
To authorize the computer follow these steps
At the topi of the screen next to File- Edit -View, click store then Authorize this computer.
Enter in your appleID email address and password and click authorize
**If you do not see the File Edit View option, At the very top left corner you should see a little square click the square and click show menu bar.
Now that your computer is authorized click the file menu button, then click Devices, then go to your iPhones name and then click Transfer purchases this will allow you to transfer all of your purchased content to the computer
Now if you want to transfer your non purchased content to the computer you can do so if you have wif and the previous computer on the same network as the new computer with home sharing

IPhone not syncing all pictures

I've been having this problem for awhile now & thought it had something to do with the iPhone 4 because I didn't have this issue when I had the iPhone 3GS. When I try to sync all photos including videos into my iPhone - about 4,900, only about 4,200 would be transferred. Also, not all "Faces" appear on the iPhone. I've been waiting for a fix but it's been almost a year. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, has anyone found a solution for it? I've done the following:
1. Restored my iPhone to default settings
2. Deleted & reinstalled iTunes app to latest version
3. Deleted & reinstalled iPhoto app to latest version
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

For the calendar issue: on your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Calendars section and tap Default calendar. What calendars are listed there and what have you selected as your default calendar?
For the photos issue: try going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and turn photo stream to Off. Then reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release and wait for it to restart. (You won't lose any data by doing this.) When it has restarted go back and turn photo stream on again, take a new picture, close the camera app, make sure your phone and iPad are connected to wifi and wait 5 minutes or so to see if it syncs to your iPad this time.

Ovi Music Sync - do NOT sync all "My Music" folder...

I am using Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 with my Nokia X6. After installing, I wanted to select a Music folder to by sync'ed with my X6, and I do NOT want to sync all files from Windows "My Music" folder.
Under "Sync Option" / Music I can add a folder to be sync'ed.
But pleeeeaaase - How can I disable automatic synchronization of all "My Music" files????
The only choice I have is to say "do only sync the following playlists" - but I want to say "do only sync the following FOLDER...
Any ideas? Is this not possible??
Thanks, Martin

IPhone not syncing all exchange calendar events

I'm having some issues with an iPhone running iOS 5.0.1 sycing with an SBS 2008 / Exchange 2007 server.
Email and contacts sync fine without any issues. Calendar seems to be syncing fine but is missing out some events. I have tried to look at what events are not syncing to see if there is a pattern, but it is very random and nothing that links the events in any way.
I have tried deleting the exchange account from the phone and re-adding it and have also tried adding the account on a completley different phone and it still only syncs the same calendar events, missing out a few events.
I have looked in outlook on the users computer and the events show fine. Also logged in to outlook web access and it shows the events in there without a problem.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

We've found, too, that the type of calendar item can make a difference..as an example, a changed instance of a recurring appointment can be a problem..it has to do with the way Exchange handles them...their suggestion is if you have an appointment that is say, every Monday all year, at 900am, but sometimes it changes to 930, and sometimes say, to 830, you need to make 52 individual appointments rather that 1 52 instance recurring appointment...not a very attractive option. The other thing that can make a difference if is an appointment has any attachments..first, the attachment can change frequently, leading to possible consistency issues that way, and second, the size of the attachment can make the Exchange client on the iOS device "choke"...also, users need to accept every invitation they see..if they delete 1 invitation, or if a delegate deletes one invitation the item will drop off of the calendar.....also, you want to minimize the number of delegates..thexe things are summarized in a couple of best practices documents Microsoft has published...

Also, I let users know that they want to minimize the number of instances of mail clients running against exchange Server...the more clients, particularly mobile devices, the more they are looking for trouble.

IPhone not syncing all my photos

Hello all,
For the past many years I've kept a very large photo album in my iphoto library that contains graphic design inspiration. As of now it is is nearly 7000 photos and has never had a poblem syncing to my phone. I add to it daily and try to resync my phone every few days.
Earlier this week I went in to browse though the album to find a few files and realized that the full album hadn't been synced over to my phone. I reconnected to itunes and tried to resync with no luck. Then I went into the photo tab and told the phone to stop syncing photos, applied the change, and then told it to sync again. it deleted the photos (as I thought it would). Then I turned syncing back on and selected the correct library/album. Interestingly enough, it synced less photos than before.
Any idea on what is going on? I'm on an iphone 5 and ios7. Thanks!

I am having the same problem. I have never had an issue before, but after updating to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s (32GB), I am unable to sync all of my photos to my iPhone from Aperture. I have 5448 photos in Aperture. iTunes recognizes this number, but when I try to sync, it says copying xx of 3661 (assuming I've removed all photos from my iPhone, and am retrying to sync).
I have tried reformatting my phone, deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder inside the Aperture library package, but nothing seems to work.
I'm running iOS 7.0.4 on the iPhone 4s (32gb) and iTunes 11.1.3 (8) on a Macbook Pro Retina 13".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Christian

IPod Touch 5th Gen will not sync all my music.

I have a 5th Gen. iPod touch, 32 GB. I moved my iTunes music onto another remote HD - the original was about to let go. I the went back to re-sync. Now the device will only sync part of my manually selected list.I have selected 2632 songs (as displayed in iTunes) with only 816 syncing. This is not due to missing music - no warning for that. I have reset the iPod, erased the music separately from it, cleared the iPod completely and reloaded everything. Even a restore from my computer. No go. FYI - No iCloud; everything via USB. Suggestions? Comments?

Yes, regarding space. When I first reset the memory; it had 3 GB of room. I didn't add any other music or applications.
Do the non-sync songs play? Well; I thought they did. However, as I try to play them I get a message about not being able to locate the songs. I did change the path in the Preferences section. And - it looks like it found files one I manually told it to look. I'm going to re-sync and see what happens.

IPhone not syncing to iTunes music, But iPad OK... Restore?

I updated to IOS7 on both my iPhone 4s and iPad 2. But when I go to sync music on my desktop through iTunes I get stuck in the final step of transferring for my iPhone but not the iPad. Is there anyway to go about fixing this without restoring my phone? I realize this is probably an issue with the software (bug) because of the update but was wondering if there is anyway to go around fixing this without wiping my phone clean.
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you working with iTunes for Windows or Mac?
One thing to try is to change your iTunes setting to manually sync.
Then remove the music (if any) from the device and choose just what you want to put back on the iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore from the backup you hopefully did before updating.

If you don't have the prior computer backup files, you may want to look at this to get your information from the phone:
