ITunes all of a sudden won't sync non-purchased songs

Title says it all, other day updated to 7.0.3. Sync wouldn't update the 3 new cd's I had added and furthermore, those artists that the cd's belonged to wouldn't play. Meaning any previous song by those artists on my phone also wouldn't play.
7.0.4 fixed nothing infact it just straight up removed all my non-purchased songs off my phone. iTunes claims there's 1,000 songs on my iPhone but only the 200ish I've purchased show up. If I go to "on this phone" it shows nearly every song with a grey circle next to it.
This is ridiculous.

Forgot to add also, all the purchased songs on my phone have the cloud/download button so technically they aren't even there either. Would have to go through and download all of those as well.
iTunes keeps just randomly changing how much space is available. It goes from what it should be (2.5ish GB) down to 8 GB free, all of a sudden will jump to only 500 MB free. Dunno if that is screwing with the Sync, phone things it has no room to add the songs.

ITunes 10.5.1 (42) won't play certain purchased songs

A number of purchased songs will not play at all. The same is true on my iPod Touch. The posts I find for this problem are from 2008 and 2009-- not helpful.

Ok so, now apparently, when I close out of itunes and re open it, the album artwork is there now. Weird.

ITunes all of a sudden won't play screen goes blank

iTunes trailers was working perfectly last week, now when I hit play on a movie screen
just darkens and won't play movie, please help

I've seen a problem like this before. This was a solution that worked for me, as long as the songs were still visibly listed in iTunes. Select the song and check to see if the album art window says "Album Art Not Modifiable" (remember to set the album art window to "Selected Song" not "Currently Playing"). If the album art is NOT modifiable, select the songs that won't play, then go to Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags..., then click the check box next to ID3 tag version, and select the highest version, (currently v2.4).

Sync non purchased songs to new computer

I have a 1st generation ipod touch and just purchased a macpro. I would like to transfer all of my songs to the computer, even the ones I didn't purchase from itunes. Is this possible, and is there software available to do this?

Anybody knows why my iPod 160 GB suddenly won't sync my Contacts anymore?

It was working alright before I "upgraded" to Snow Leopard and iTunes 9... suddenly I cannot sync my contacts into my iPod (a VERY valuable feature!)... I have been to MacStores and they have no idea... any solutions out there?
Thanks!

Hi
I have a similar problem. Everything went fine, but after installing Snow and Itunes 9.1 My ipod classic 80 GB did not sync Contacts and Calendars anymore. There is also a problem with the battery suddenly.
After having fully charged and I open music after 2 minutes it completely goes blank telling me there is a very low battery status. I do not know if this is by accident or it also hve to do with all the hardware problems people encounter with the iTunes 9.0
Does anybody have the same problem with battery?
thks

Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

Cannot sync non-purchased itunes songs from itunes to ipod

I have been having this problem for some time now and have searched for answers for some time now to no avail. I have older songs from CDs on my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1405 & Windows XP) that at one time I was able to sync to my iPod, iPhone, etc. However, about a year ago that all changed, as now I can only sync purchased songs to my iPod or iPhone. When I place non-purchased songs on a play list and then try to sync my iPod or iPhone, the syncing process stops and I get an error (-50) which essentially states there is an unknown error and cannot sync this particular song and gives the title. I have narrowed this down to only songs that I imported from CDs many years ago. They are not listed as "protected" or "purchased" ACC audio files if that helps. I have searched for an answer for some time or waited for an iTunes update to fix the problem, but no such luck. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated, there has to be an answer out there somewhere. Thanks!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally. I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

Firstly... a little Clarity...
Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. .. Not Computers.
Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...
