ITunes 9 - Apple TV music sync still playlist only

I'm disappointed to see that Apple TV didn't inherit the improved music syncing options for Genre & Artist. It can't be hardware related as it shows up on my older iPod. Hopefully this will be fixed in a 9.1 release.
It's unfortunate that Apple continues to treat the Apple TV as a 'hobby'.

I can't sync my music in itunes, itunes leaves out some musics in some playlist.

I can't sync my music in itunes, itunes leaves out some musics in some playlist. For example, Even though a playlist have 9 music, itunes copies just one of them to my iphone.

I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

Do a reset of everything on your ipod. Then reconnect it and it should work.

I have 2 apple tv's but my playlists only show on one; can I get them to show up on both? I have home sharing turned on and itunes match.

If you are attempting to share to both at the same time, you can't.
Are you selecting the second AppleTV in home sharing options on the MBP. Are all devices signed in for Home Sharing with the same AppleID?

Artists unchecked in Music sync still remain on iPhone?

I just recently switched from Sync "Entire Music Library" to "Selected playlists, artists, and genres". There's just some music I don't need on my iPhone that I want to remain in iTunes at home.
Unchecking the artists/genres I don't want moved to the iPhone doesn't seem to be having any effect on my iPhone though. It's not pulling these songs off as desired--they are still persisting.
Does your iPhone have to be totally full before it will pull off songs/artists/playlists you don't want synced? Am not really getting this.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you synced/hit apply once you made the changes in itunes?
Are all of the artist songs and genres still on the iphone or just some?
If you unchecked the artist, but the artists song is in a playlist (that you have selected to sync) then that song will still be on the iphone as you have selected it via the playlist.

ITunes to iPad 2 Music Sync Doesn't Completely Sync All Music

I've just updates my iTunes to 11.1.4 and iOS to 7.0.4.
Now I attempted to sync all my music and books from my Macbook OSX 10.8.5 to my iPad 2.
The books sync works perfectly. However, when I try to sync the music, only first song of each album are synced while the rest are not.
When I eject and reconnect the iPad, all the song are detected on the "On My iPad" tab, however the song don't appear on the iPad.
On the HD usage bar below, the unlisted songs are written as "Others", not as "Audio".
Anyone has idea what happened, and how to fix it? I've try restoring my iPad to erase all data, but the same issue happened over and over again each time I synced them.

I've figured out the main problem.
When I try to sync my iPad with iTunes, at some point usually it automatically cancels the sync.
I've tried to unselect the song from syncing with manual sync, but it still automatically cancels.
I've also tried unchecked and rechecked the Sync Music checkbox but the problem still presist.
Please, anyone can help me? Cause I need my iPad to be able to be synced with my iTunes.

Apple TV endless sync, still syncing after 3 days

my Apple TV will not stop syncing... i can view everything on my AppleTV and everything is there but the icon next to my AppleTV is still spinning, whenever i quit iTunes it tells me that it's still syncing.
the file size doesn't change so I know the sync is done but it is still spinning.
what am i doing wrong?

i had restart iTunes 4 or 5 times already and everytime i start it up, it syncs.
i'm on WIreless N network and AppleTV is the only thing on the N network, all my other computers are on a separate G network.
Transfer is quick, but just annoying to see it sync all the time.
i think this started when I did the most recent update, anybody else have this issue?

Why is iTunes not sinking certain music on a playlist to my 4S, also it is not showing splits in capacity bar (music, photos, apps etc.)?

Hi,
My iTunes will not sync any new music in my "iPhone Music" playlist to my phone. It has been saying that there was too much capacity but that has corrected itself now.
Also, iTunes is not splitting the uses on the capacity bar for Music, Apps, Photos etc.
I can't seem to add any new music to my phone now.
Can anyone help?

It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

I have just purchased iTunes match, but my music is still taking up 4GB space on my iPhone, which is what it was doing before. How do I clear space?

I thought that I understood that once music uploads or matches to iTunes match, that my library would no longer be stored (using space) on my iPhone. Before the purchase, my library took 4GB space. Since the purchase, I haven't downloaded/listened to any tracks, but it is still showing as using 4GB space on my phone. And 2 days after the purchase, out of 1364 songs, 734 remain on my device, and not in Cloud (evident when selecting to show only tracks that have been downloaded to device). So why has approximately only half of my library been stored in Cloud, and why, despite around half of my library having gone to Cloud, is it still using 4BG space on my phone???

Hi,
On your iPhone Go to Settings > General > Manage Storage > Music - this tells you amount used for All songs and lists the music on your phone. You can delete music from here.
All your music in the cloud should now show download arrow but when you play a track, it is downloaded.

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

Apple TV music sync option missing

I have been having some iTunes issues and therefore did a rebuild. I have reconnected the Apple TV and can not sync any content other than pictures to the Apple TV. The only options given me in the Apple TV tab in iTunes are Summary and Photos.
What is going on?

your TV is currently set up as a +streaming only+ library. i expect that, when you +did a rebuild+, you did not break the link to the old iTunes.
you need to do that from within the TV's settings, then pair it with the new iTunes. the following reads will be helpful: one and two.

Itunes and iphone wired music syncing isn't working

Ok. Well. I turned my phone off and back on....and now it works. So.

Why isn't unchecked music synced to my iPhone?

I have an iphone 4 connected to windows 7 computer. All going well until recently, last time I connected to itunes I had a warning that all my music was unchecked, so no music would sync to iphone. (This was not a change I had made.)
In itunes however all my music was still checked as being wanted. The music however was deleted from my phone and I can't seem to get it back. Its still on the computer and plays there just fine.
When I try to add or subract music in itunes it makes no difference to the blue bar indicating how much disk space has been used on my phone.
I have tried reinstalling itunes 10.5, and running the diagnostic tool in itunes without success. Any advice is appreciated.

Connect your iPad to your computer, wait until backup and sync process is completed and you see an Apple Logo in the top windows.
Now click your Device on the left Pane and in the Summary tab on the right Pane, scroll down and make sure the box for "Sync only checked music & video" is checked and click the SYNC button at the lower right window. Your music will be transferred back to your iPad.

IPhone syncing unchecked playlists

This has been posted numerous times, but the discussions are all archived. Plus, I think I have figured out what is causing this situation.
I have discovered that the issue with unchecked playlists syncing on the iPhone is caused by the weird fact that iPhone sync will add any/all playlist the items you have synced appear in.
In other words, if you have a song/video in "Smart Playlist A" as well as in "Smart Playlist B" and only set "Smart Playlist B" to sync, because the item is in both playlists, both will show up on your iPhone.
In yet other words, if you sync an item to the iPhone, any playlist that item appears in—even if that playlist is unchecked in the "Sync selected playlists only" section—will show up on your iPhone.
This is idiotic. I am hoping someone knows of a way around this.
I discovered it by adding some home videos to my iPhone, and after doing so a bunch of odd playlists showed up on the phone. They only contained the videos. By unchecking the video sync checkbox and running another sync, those extra playlists disappeared. I deduced what was happening after reading some archived posts on the discussion here.
Anyone know why this is happening? Or can people confirm that this is happening to others, and not just me? If someone can replicate my steps above and have the iPhone not sync those unchecked playlists, I would like to know about it.

I realize this is an old post, but in case you haven't solved this there is a workaround -- for all music-only smart playlists, add the criteria "Kind Does Not Contain Video" (use the "Kind" criteria, not "Video Kind"). You can still have smart playlists for your videos, and obviously you would leave that criteria out. Only the music smart playlists need this, and it seems to affect all iPods going back several iTunes revisions.
