ITunes 11 does not load songs onto iPhone 4S from XP notebook

I converted songs on CDs we own to MP3 and loaded them onto my wife's XP notebook. iTunes 11 found them and built a library from them. Synchronizing her iPhone 4S through her XP computer does not load the songs onto her phone. When I first synchronized my iPhone 4S through iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 computer, iTunes found MP3 music files on my computer, built a library, and uploaded them to my iPhone without any prompts from me. Why can I not get songs in MP3 to load from my wife's computer to her iPhone?

ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone. I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
-restarting phone and mac
-updating iTunes
-taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
-rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
-restoring my phone
-going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
-manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
-making sure the songs are the proper files
... and still nothing has worked.
When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do. I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

UPDATE:
I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out').
So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone. After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone. I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

HT204406 iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4

i am having a problem with the iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4, once in iTunes it just shows the iCloud logo, and does not load all my albums/song etc.

I'm guessing you mean the iTunes store.
What specificaly happens when you try to access the store? Any errors?
What do you mean by full factory reset? Does that mean a restore as new?
Are you able to access the store via Wi-Fi?

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now Itunes does not recognise my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work. Although after reading about other people with similar issues on past window updates I think I may need to uninstall all apple software .
I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

Hello andyv,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes does not load when connecting iPod Nano (4th Gen)

I have my iTunes settings 'disable automatic syncing for iphones and ipods' unchecked, and in my iPod settings i have 'open iTunes when connected' option checked, and iTunes still does not load. How do I solve this?

If you have itunes open and then connect the nano, what happens?

Sometimes itunes does not play songs

From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
Additionally, it won't play any other song.
When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
and still persists.
I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
no change.
Does anybody experience similar problems?
This is really frustrating!
Thanks,
Mario
Windows XP Pro

Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

ITunes does not turn on when iPhone attached.

I know I'll feel stupid after somebody gives me the answer to this. But, what the heck, if I don't ask I won't get. So here it goes: My iTunes does not turn on automatically when I attach my iPhone to my Mac. I have to open the application manually. Is there a setting to make it come on when I attache my iphone?

Yes, there is a setting to make it happen. Connect your iPhone to your Mac, and click on it in the iTunes column so it shows the iPhone information. Click on Summary, got to the bottom of that page, under Options, and check the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected".
P.S. I know how you feel. I think I have posted about a dozen questions that I have ended up answering myself the next day when I wake up and think about the problem again.

ITUNES WILL NOT LOAD SONGS ON TO IPOD....

I got a new laptop a few days ago and have just got round to reloading my itunes software on to it. I have transfered all my songs from my ipod by showing the hidden files on ipods hard drive and dragging them onto my computer. I then wanted to put a few more cds on to my ipod so i copied them on to my itunes as normal, then plugged the ipod in expecting itunes to auctomatically update and it didnt. I have tried eveything i can think of.
Hope somebody can help,
Thanks, Lou

okay so you show plug it into itunes if you dont have it on your computer you can download it here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
when it is pluged in on the left side there will be a device sign and under it will be the ipod drag the song from itunes to the ipod.
if that does not work there will be a tab called store and under it should be 3 sub tabs called itunes store, itunes match, and purchased
click purchased and all the song that you have ever bought show be there and just drag the songs you want over.
let me know if this worked

Trouble loading songs onto iPhone

We have our main library on our home computer, and the entire family of five uses one iTunes account to buy songs from the 5 authorized computers to their respective libraries.
One daughter has a laptop which is one of the 5 authorized computers on the account.
Daughter has an iPhone which we are trying to transfer songs to from either the home library via Home Share (copying directly) or via transferring into her laptop library via Home Share and then dragging to iPhone (note that I am able to plug daughter's iPhone directly into the home computer and drag songs into the phone and then play them from there.)
While we can drag songs into the laptop library any way we want, what we can't do is drag them onto the iPhone to play.
Am I missing something regarding "authorization" or is there some setting that we don't have right?
Thanks,
Mark

On the old version of itunes when i plugged in, an icon saying "Jay's ipod" would come up. now it says HP Administrator comes up when i plug in. Also, I have checked "sync only checked items" and have restored but now i don't get all the checked items and also cannot add my previous playlists. I am manually managing my music and selected on the summary page "sync music" and checked "selected playlists" but i cannot add all those playlists. I'll try again. thanks for your help.

ITunes does not accept Song Tags from my HD radio consistently

When I Tag a song on my Dual Xhd7714 car system.....to my iTunes on my Macbook....if I've Tagged 8 songs....Maybe one will show up on the Tagged playlist on iTunes...I'm using the most current iTunes....and have used both my iPod and iPhone (both with latest software/firmware upgrades)...and the issues occurs...from both devices....Help!!!!!!!!!!!...Bob

When you double click on the song in iTunes, does the progress bar at the top of the window move at all?
If not, try re-installing iTunes and QuickTime
1. Drag iTunes.app and QuickTime Player.app from your Applications folder to the trash
2. Restart the Mac
3. Download and install from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can try deleting your preference files:
Quit iTunes and QuickTime player if they are running.
Navigate to /User/Library/Preferences/
Drag com.apple.itunes.plist to the trash
Drag com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist to the trash
Restart the Mac
Launch iTunes again

ITunes does not sync music anymore (iPhone)

I have had the iPhone for 10 months, always worked just fine, but the last firmware update is giving me serious headaches. The last issue is that it syncs everything via iTunes BUT not the music. I get an error message that says some files are not found. The path to the library is intact, I can play any song from my Mac, it is just the sync process that does not recognize things properly. All the settings are correct (sync music tab, etc).
I ran a RESTORE but no luck. Any suggestion? Any way to go back to firmware 2.0 and previous version of iTunes? I never had issues before upgrading both, so not sure which one is causing the problems.
Thanks

ran a second RESTORE, this time after doing a RESET ALL settings... it worked

ITunes will not load song info at start-up

Hello,
Bought a 1GB shuffle, installed iTunes, tried loading my music into iTunes and no matter what I do, iTunes will not bring up the song info, artist info, album info, etc when the CD is inserted....it just keeps displaying Track 1, Track 2, etc....it doesn't matter if it is a store bought disc or a homemade copy, still does not recognize info.....I have the latest version of iTunes (4.9) and OS is Windows XP....Any info would be appreciated

If you look in the advanced menu at the top of the itunes window and click on the get track listings this will search for the c.d and give you all the info you require wont always work with obscure c.d's or copies... Hope the forum treats you well
