Iphone4 and windows 8 issue with itunes syncing music

I am trying to add more songs to my iphone 4. when i add folder to my library and try to transfer it to the current playlist, it won't let me.

Is this the computer the device normally syncs with?
Is "Manually manage media" enabled?
iTunes is designed to synce media to the device. What is described above is not syncing.
To sync content, connect the device.
Select the device in the side bar.
Select the appropriate tab at the top for the type of content to manage.
Select the content in question desired to sync.
Sync.

Did you go through all the options?

Having issues with iTunes syncing to iPhone 5...

Both are up to date, iPhone has 7.0.4 and iTunes 11.1.3. Not all of my songs will sync onto my phone, only 63 out of about 500. Anyone else having this issue? Or solved it? Ahhhhh so frustrating!!! I've tried
-Turning off my find iPhone
-Selecting playlists instead of syncing all songs, all songs on playlist still don't show up
-Restarting phone
-Restarting my Mac
-And doing these in about every order you can think of for the past 3 hours
Help!

So I had the same problem with what you are having except I have an Iphone 4S but heres what i did to resolve.
1) Check the box for manually manage your music
2) Uncheck all songs you want.
3) Sync
4) Check all songs you want, after the 1st sync
5) Sync again but this time with all the music you want checked
6) Now your inforamtion bar for the GB reading will be weird, dont worry about it. After the sync check all songs on your phone. All should be playable.
Hope it helps!

Multiple issues with iTunes/iPhone Music Library

I have been having several problems with the new update (for the iPhone and iTunes.)
First, when I download music from iTunes, I always clean up the album names (for instance, if I download an album that is called "Can't Stop Me - EP", I always remove the "EP" part, etc. That includes anytime it says Deluxe or Single. I have always done this to keep my library clean, but since the new update, every time I fix it, I'll close iTunes, and when I reopen it later, some of the media I change reverts back to the original name. If I check info on the media, the name I changed it to is still there, and when I click "OK", it reverts back to the new name. Why is this? It is also never consistent, and it picks random media to revert every time I go into iTunes.
Also, one other issue I am having is I am seeing duplicates of artists in my Music on my iPhone. Avicii shows up twice with the same media listed under his name. What's weird, is that when listed alphabetically, the letter "E" appears above one of the duplicates. If I try to erase it, my phone crashes and both Avicii's disappear. If I sync my phone, the duplicates reappear and the cycle repeats. It does this for a few other artists in my library as well.
I've tried resetting my phone and it fixes the solution for a bit, but then it happens again. Some solutions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working. Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it.
What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files. After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu. Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues. This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired. I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there. Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Several issues with iTunes syncing

Okay so I have an iPhone 4s 32GB iOS 6.1.2. an recently purchased a new windows 8 laptop that has iTunes 11 on it. I find several issues and have not been able to resolve so hopefully someone will have some suggestions.
1. iCloud will not back up contacts
2. iTunes will only show 11 of my 200+ purchased songs
3. iTunes sync over wifi shows my old laptop (which I removed before syncing with new computer) but will not show the new laptop.
4. After I purchased about 5 new songs and a few apps I attempted to sync with iTunes on the new laptop and while all my songs and apps from my last sync are there I cannot get the new items to sync back to iTunes no matter what I do.
I have turned off iCloud and backed up to iTunes via USB but still nothing is working. I have seen lots of other forum posts here and all over the web but none of the problems or solutions seem to fit my situation exactly. I am hesitant to reset the phone because I dont want to loose my contacts or the new content I have purchased. Any help would be awesome.

UPDATE. I did a reset and it did remove the old computer from my Wifi Sync screen but now my personal hotspot option is gone, I cannot connect to wifi at all and I still cannot get the phone to sync to iTunes.

HT1386 Issues With ITunes Sync

For the longest time when I go to sync my phone a selective amount of music just WON'T load onto my phone. I don't know what to do, and it's getting to be extremely bothersome. The only music on my ITunes is music I can't buy on the ITunes store (I'm really good about this), but this isn't the only music that isn't downloading to my phone. Even some of the music that I've purchased won't download, too, and I just CAN'T take it anymore! I have found NO solutions. If it anyone has a solution, help me out?
Thanks,
Liz

The reason for your incomplete syncing may be that the bit rate at which your songs are set are too big. The average and accepted bit rate for an ipod is 128kbps. To check your bit rate go to iTunes and select a song by right clicking on it.
Then click Get Info. There will be multiple tabs, but you want the summary tab.
Under the summary tab it has the bit rate.
Also, a higher bit rate than 128kbps will drastically reduce battery life because it takes so much more power to play the higher quality song.
If you are unfamiliar with bit rates basically the higher it is, the more rich and full the sound, making the iPod use more juice to play more sound in a song.(Sorry if that confused you)
If you find that the bit rate is higher than 128kbps then you need to readjust your songs.

Issue with iTunes organizing music

I'm having some questions about the way iTunes organizes my music. In this image below shows what I mean. It's putting random songs in a compillations folder when they are part of the same CD as the ones that aren't in the folder. It makes no sense and it does it for a couple other bands as well. How do I fix this because its a bit annoying. If I try to move them to the folder they should be in and play the song it just says it can't be located.
http://i51.tinypic.com/2prxxet.jpg

I looked through and I don't think anything really goes with my issue. The information in there is more along the lines of having more than one album show up for one artist. I used to have that problem but I fixed it long ago. I just deleted iTunes and fixed the folders. Then reinstalled iTunes and when I went back into the folders, it had made the compillations folder and put the same random songs back in there. Can anyone make sense of this. Or perhaps can someone tell me how to take control of arranging my folders on my own so I can fix the issue?

Having issues with iTunes sync to iPod (5th gen)

Ok this is something that is getting rather annoying.
Every once in a while. When sync anything to my iPod from iTunes. Sometimes iTunes will hang up. Then sync icon on my iPod does show up and spinning.
However nothing gets sync to the iPod. I then have to close out iTunes. Then restart iTunes. And everything seems to work for a while.
I to have the current version of iTunes (11.0.4.4.)
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I do have the 64-bit version of iTunes installed.
I have tried to restart my iPod several times. I don't think that this should have to be done all the time one of the other is not sync. Besides. It don't resolve the issue.
The iPod has a fully charged battery.
I have tried different USB ports. Same issue still exists.
I tired to restart my computer when the issues happens. Again it still happens.
I have completely uninstall iTunes and then reinstall iTunes back. Nothing has changed.
I have shut down all 3rd party software. Sync issues still happen.
I have tied on different computers I have in the house. The issues does happen. Not as often.
So there it is. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

HT1386 I have IPod touch running iOS 5.1.1 and Windows 7 with iTunes 11.0.4.4. When I connect the IPod to my PC, iTunes recognizes it but before synching can get very far, it is interrupted by "charging not supported on this acc." Now what to do?

I'm having trouble with the wi-fi synch for iTunes and would be happy if I could just synch by the USB cable. With the new iOS, the connection to iTunes seems to get broken every time the dreaded "charging not supported with this accessory" appears, which is only a few seconds into the synch. Since my PC is obviously not an Apple brand charger, IPod won't stop producing this message. Using the Dismiss button doesn't resolve the issue because synch has already stopped. It looks like the hardwire to PC option is now dead.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an IPod Touch. I would like to be able to sync music in two areas. Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this? And, if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?

No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Issues with itunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (32 Bit) When Trying to sync iphone 4S or older

I see a lot of people out there, specifically windows OS owners (xp all the way to 7), having issues with iTunes 10.5. Here are the following issues I've encountered (some may only have one problem, others my have a combo pack of problems).
1. iphone 4S or older won't sync or backup
2. iTunes store won't open
The issue I found after using the diagnostics tool in iTunes (which is useless in identify scripting issues or major communication issues), reviewing the windows event log, and reinstalling all apple software and components, was the fact that my spyware and anti virus software was causing a communication error within apple's software. I use spyware doctor with anti virus. I had to uninstall spyware doctor in order for iTunes 10.5 to work. After that, everything worked well and I did a clean install of spyware doctor.
If the issue still persists, you might have to reset your internet protocol (TCP/IP). You have to run a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following: netsh winsock reset

Finally words: Apple, like all other software companies, continually encounter software glitches and issues because they don't test products correctly before bringing them to market- this has been a reoccurring theme for the last 2-3 years. The most important aspect of using any software should be functionality, efficiency, ease of use, and above all "A Positive End User Experience." Wasn't that Steve Job's mantra? We can all hope that Apple embraces his philosophy and vision for the many years to come. This, above all, is not a great start for Apple moving forward without their true inspirational leader.

Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hours of frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a sync or tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1. hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
2. when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
3. you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled." [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
You could already have your device connected to your computer or do it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure if this is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
I hope this works. This may be the workaround for all of us Windows 7 64-bit folks.
