ITunes 10 Problem Syncing Music

Hey,
I just got a laptop with windows 7, and I've owned a 2nd gen iTouch for quite some time. I downloaded iTunes 10, and I don't know if there's a problem, or if it's just bad. Syncing my music is harder than ever to do now. Before with iTunes 9.something it did it on it's own, but I have to select junk?
Can someone tell me if there's a problem with it, or if I'm dumb.
And if I'm dumb, could someone please tell me how to sync music to my ipod from iTunes 10.
THANKS :D!!!

My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.
I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption
Itunes software issue
After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating
Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

Problems syncing music....

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

ITunes crashes upon syncing music to iPhone 3GS iOS4

I recently bought an iPhone 3GS and upgraded it to 4.1. Whenever I try and sync my music, iTunes will crash - I get the "iTunes has encountered an unexpected error and has to close" message, with the Windows report screen popping up and all that. This is only when I sync my music - applications and contacts sync fine (I do not sync videos/photos/voicemails so I have those all unchecked). I only sync one selected playlist (not my whole library).
I am using iTunes 10, running on Windows XP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times (including downgrading to 9.2 at one point) but I continue to get the same result - iTunes crashes upon syncing music. I just did a fresh restore, and this has not fixed the problem.
I have tried splitting up my 550 song playlist that I normally sync to my iPhone, but when I did this (it was only about 250 songs) iTunes crashed again towards the end. It has been crashing whether or not I have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" checked or not. It crashes somewhere in the middle of "Copying X out of X."
Note As of typing this, I successfully synced a separate 58-song playlist WITH "Convert to 128 kbps AAC checked." However, I then tried to sync a different 61-song playlist WITHOUT that checked and iTunes proceeded to crash. After this, I tried syncing the 58-song playlist again WITHOUT the Convert checked and it synced perfectly without crashing.
Recap:
Playlist #1 (550 songs) - Crashes WITH OR WITHOUT convert checked
Playlist #2 (58 songs) - Syncs perfectly with or without convert checked
Playlist #3 (61 songs) - Crashes without "Convert..." checked (have not tested with "Convert..." checked, it's late and I have to head to bed soon and I want to get this post up).
Considering this information, would it be reasonable for me to assume that it's some of the songs in my library that are making iTunes crash? If so, how the heck am I supposed to figure which songs are causing this? I really hope I do not have to sit here as iTunes syncs and watch our for every song it crashes on...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've scoured these boards but I haven't found anyone with the same situation as me, and thus no answers.
So frustrated. Even my old iPhone 2G on OS 3.0 syncs my music perfectly!!

I am back to attempting to sync my music. iTunes continues to crash on certain songs, however I have also noticed another problem - each time I attempt to sync my main playlist (after deleting the song it crashed on last time), it will say Copying X out of like, 96 or some number that is nowhere near the real count of songs on the playlist.

ITunes won't sync music

I have an iphone 4 and I have never had this problem until today. Itunes will not sync music. My iphone has songs in the music app but when they are clicked on they will not play anything. There seems to be no file there to play. In Itunes on my computer, I click on my Iphone under devices and go to the music. It shows the music that I have but to the left of each song is the syncing icon. What can I do?

Hi,
I also got this problem earlier today (iPhone 4). I tried the fix mentioned in this blog (I know it is for IOS 4.2.1 ... but I was desperate):
http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2010/11/is-your-iphones-music-gone-after-updating -to-ios-4-2-1-heres-a-fix/
As the blog mentioned:
• Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes on the computer.
• The phone appears under devices in the left-hand column; click the arrow to the left of it so your media categories appear and select music.
• Play a song on the iPhone via iTunes on your computer.
• Sync the iPhone again
• Re-open the iPod app on the iPhone
The thing I did differently was that I picked a song where the "Last Played" field was blank. Make sure to play the song til the end. I did a sync again then (lo and behold) my songs (magically) appeared in the Music app.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Ipod shuffle - problems syncing music

Just bought an ipod shuffle, have loaded my music on itunes and clicked sync music, it says this is done but there is no music on the device!

You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing. This document describles those methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window. However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill). If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.
FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual, from this support web page for the shuffle

ITunes "Other" Problem & My Music Won't Sync It Only Shows Up In A Grey Dotted Circle. Why ?

On my iTunes "other" section it takes up way too much space and idk what it actually is in the "other" files that have it like that. When I try to put songs on there, it won't download to my phone. It only shows a grey dotted circle next to the songs and they're all grey as well. I've deleted songs from iTunes as well as my iPhone & still the same issues. Can someone help me with this?

I had this exact problem, but I think I've figured it out. Here's what i did step by step
- connect iphone with usb cord
- go to music tab under device, and uncheck sync music and apply changes
( at this point there was no music on my phone)
- go to summary and check off manually manage music and videos
-drag the playlists i want to the sidebar under device (a green plus sign came up)
this worked after trying countless suggestions and my music synced right away.

Problem syncing music from itunes to iphone

I am having problems syncing my music to my iphone. Itunes goes through the process but my music does not transfer. Any helpful would be great:)

Go the Applications folder and drag the iTunes.app into the trash. That's all you need to do with any app on the Mac. (Easier than that Control Panel thing on Windows . If you want to ensure you delete any related preference files with the app, suggest you use AppCleaner (you can download free here - http://appcleaner.en.softonic.com/mac .

ITunes will not sync music to new iPhone.

I used to have an iPhone 5S 16GB, and I just got an iPhone 5S 32GB. I went to backup my new phone from iTunes, and it worked fine. Yesterday, I put a new CD on my iTunes and thought I had downloaded it onto my iPhone. I went to listen to the new CD today, but it was not there. I noticed when I plugged my iPhone into my computer, iTunes said under the "On This iPhone" tab that there are 792 songs on the iPhone, and the library shown in iTunes is correct. It has the new CD on it and everything. My iPhone, however, even after trying to sync the correct information multiple times, still has 908 songs on the phone, and the new CD is not one of them. Now my full iTunes has more music, which I have gone through and unchecked what I do not want on my phone. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" box checked on the main page. Everything according to iTunes is correct, but it does not match what is on my iPhone. I even tried taking the music off the iPhone and the putting it back on, and the computer said "Syncing 792 songs" but my iPhone still says 908. I can't figure this out, what do I do? Please help!

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Problems syncing music with iPhone

I have an iPhone 5, 64GB running iOS 7.0.4. Problems with syncing music. Please read all
For a while now I have been experiencing some difficulty with my music on my iPhone. There were a few purchased songs and some non-purchased songs (from CDs etc) that weren't going on my iPhone when syncing.
So tonight I tried to fix this and I selected to not sync all music (so all the songs could be removed from my phone) and then re-sync it all. This gave me a problem as it said 124 of my songs were not copied (these song files are definitely not corrupt or anything, they were on my phone before I synced this evening). So I tried to do the whole sync once again but I don't know what has happened this second time...
My phone is now showing 20GB of 'Other' data (this wasn't on there before). I cannot add hardly any of my music as apparently my phone has no space left (I can assure you less than 2 horus ago I had about 28GB of free space, and that was when I had my 28GB of music already on my phone!).
So yet again I try to re-sync my music (when I do this I tick/untick the 'Sync Music' checkbox in the Music tab of my iPhone in iTunes). I want to try and remove all the songs and then re-add them again. But I cannot remove the songs. There are 5 songs (I purchased these songs from iTunes store on my Mac) that will not delete from my phone. I delete them manually on my phone but as soon as I sync my phone (even with the Sync Music box UNticked) they go straight back on there!
I'm normally quite good with this stuff but I'm at a complete loss. It has been stressing me out for the past 2 hours and now it's worn me down I just have nowhere else to turn.
1) How can I remove those 5 stubborn songs from my iPhone? Perhaps answers to later questions means I might not have to do this but I'm a little OCD and knowing that there are these 5 songs that for no reason won't remove themselves off my phone is annoying.
2) How can I check or fix the 20GB of Other data? There is definitely nothing there.
3) How do I re-sync all my music? I have 4268 songs but when I tried to re-sync the first time only 4125 went on. The rest didn't but I don't know why. The files are fine, they were legally purchased etc. In fact I have one album with 100 songs, only 4 of them were synced that time. Randomly 96 of them had no space to sync? Why would only some of them go on my phone?
4) Any help whatsoever! I'm at a loss of what to do This has troubled me ever since 7.0.3.

If I restore as new will all my music, contacts, apps, message history, etc be deleted?
Okay before I try that I had one more go at syncing...
I went to settings and usage and deleted my music that way. I re-synced my phone, all my music went on except that the first 49 songs, under Song List, all play the same song. When you click on any of the first 49 songs in the song list they all play the same song (not the song they should be playing). I deleted this one song off my iTunes but it has had no effect. When I uncheck sync all songs then my Music shows No Content (which sounds good). But when I re-sync, all my music goes on (apparently) but I have these 49 copies of this one song that shouldn't be on there. The file is even no longer in my iTunes Media folder on my Mac. I guess there must be something corrupt on my phone, although I'm not sure how it has occured.

My iTunes won't sync music to my iPod touch 5th gen.

It's NEW.
I got it in the mail a week ago, and updated it to iOS 7 before I started syncing anything. And I updated iTunes to 11. It syncs all of my apps problem free. And it syncs my photos. But the music is not transfering. My iPod touch 4th gen is working just fine. So what do I have to do to my new iPod to make it work?

Hi raymanvancil,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If music doesn't seem to be syncing, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.
