Items dissapeared from iTunes, still on iPhone
Three purchases made on Dec 2007 (audiobooks) suddenly disappeared from iTunes (ver 9.0) Library. They are still on my iPhone 3Gs. I tried SYNC many times, Transfer purchases, etc but nothing works. Any idea on how to restore those files from the iPhone to iTunes? I even have copy of the original receipt from when I purchased those audio books at the iTunes store.

Since the tracks were still on my iPhone, I tried to force a transfer by selecting TRANSFER FROM IPHONE. That did not work, because in iTunes I had a "phantom" reference, that is the album tag info pointing to nowhere. So I removed those tracks from my iTunes library and then selected TRANSFER PURCHASES FROM IPHONE. That worked. the tracks were transferred from iPhone to iTunes .
In my case this specific album is no longer for sale in iTunes stre so not sure that had anything to do with it.
And right now I am running a backup of my iTunes purchases... something I never did in 4 years

I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks
What happens when playing the same books in iTunes. Is there sound after 15 min?
If also silent in iTunes, check the info tab where you can see the item is an audiobook, etc. Check the volume bar, this normally is on the zero point.
When an audio book is really low in audio, I tend to move this to the plus side (+1=max), but for some strange reason this bar was at -1 in some books I had and they also seemed to play in absolute silence. -

it's been a while that Im unable to copy music from itunes to my iphone. I updated my device to the latest version of IOS 5.1.1 and made sure no jailbreak is installed but still not working. please assist.
Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone. -

I downloaded a ringdown direct from itunes to my iphone 4S. When I go to settings/sounds/ringtone, the new ringtone is not there! I have downloaded it twice, but still not there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link from the email which took me to iTunes Store. There I found the album & all tracks shown as purchased but with no apparent way of downloading. When I check for items to download, it isn't there. When I check purchased items purchased, it isn't there either. It only appears when I tap the album cover from the front page & then only as purchased.
Hello 28mexiworth
Check your Music app to see if it already downloaded. You can also check iTunes on your computer to Check for a available downloads. If you are still not able to get it, then report the issue to iTunes.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

Please can anyone help…..c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

How do I add ringtones that were downloaded from itunes to my iphone 5
How do I download ringtones that were downloaded from Itunes to my iphone 5.
You don't, as ringtones are a one time purchase and as such can't be redownloaded.
If you still have them on your iTunes library, you may sinc them from there.
If you have a backup that contains them, you may restore your phone from that backup.
Or you can go to expresslane.apple.com and try for a re-issue. Which they do only occasionally and depending on the circumstances. -
I can not load my audiobook from itunes to my iPhone 3G
since 2 h i´m trying to upload my new audiobook from itunes to my iPhone but they say allways that my pc is not allowed to do this. Then I go to the file store and say: yes allow my pc to do this -but nothing happens. I´m so tiered about this itunes and load things of my iPhone, that i´m buying less things.

PLEASE!!! Can someone from iTunes help me?

Have you ticked the box on the Audiobooks Tab that what do you want to sync? If you have then except the Audiobooks, iTunes sync other media (music, photos, applications) with your phone? If iTunes does, then you should try to see the Advanced screen and check that the three box on the bottom of the screen (above the iPhone's memory indicator) are ticked or not. Check them carefully because if you select that you select media by yourself then you have to be careful to tick every item what you want to sync. By default every media is ticked, but if you edited it then you can get unexpected result what can cause that you can't sync your iPhone with your audiobooks.
If you checked everything and against it, your audiobooks doesn't sync then write in to Discussions > iTunes for more help or turn to Apple. -
I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!
i do understand that. if you purchased the music on the phone. its still available to you. if you go in itunes on your computer. go to purchases. there should be all the music you have purchased. there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone. have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again. the itunes way is just another option.

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone. On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.
The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
You would sync it like you do everything else.
