Itunes audiobooks won't "synch all"

I have many audiobooks (43) all purchased from iTunes, on my iTunes. But only the same 12 will synch to my iPod nanos--both my old old one and my brand new one--7th generation. I have plenty of memory--11.4 GB left on the iPod. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Connect the iPhone to the computer via USB, then select it in the "DEVICES" section of iTunes. Select the "Music" tab. Enable "Sync music". To sync Audiobooks, choose "All songs and playlists", or choose "Selected playlists" and enable "Audiobooks".
To make file into an audiobook, select it in iTunes, use "Get Info" ("File" menu or via right-click), click the "Options" tab, set "Media Kind" to "Audiobook", and click the "OK" button.

New ipad air 2. Itunes on Mac (snow leopard). New ipad will only synch music from restored from my old ipad 2. Won't synch all other music from itunes.

Just purchased new ipad air 2. When I performed system restore from the backup from my old ipad 2, the music that was on my old ipad transferred to my new ipad. But I can't synch the rest of the music I have in my itunes on my mac (snow leopard. itunes 11.4). Suggestions?

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Replacement ipod arrived. Won't synch all music in library

40 gig ipod replacement arrived - tried to synch with Windows XP Dell at home and only some songs are synching. When I play a song in iTunes on the computer, it downloads that song the next time I synch to the iPod. All music in the library is either burned from my CDs or purchased on itunes. about 2,500+ songs not sycnhing so I don't necessarily want to listen to them all and then synch them next year when done. Please smart people, help me?

hi MoFoJ!
EDIT: (sigh) just realised that i'm giving advice for a diferent operating system ... sorry about that ... but it still seems worth a try.
can you get a song to download if you only listen to it for a few seconds? that can work sometimes on Windows boxes. see for example the second part of this user tip:
Scott P: iTunes won't transfer purchased music to iPod
... still not an ideal solution, though, given that you've got over 2000 of them. that's a lot of doubleclicking of tracks in your itunes library ...
(anyone else have a better solution? better still, one that's based on experience with a Mac?)
love, b

Help! - iTunes library won't import all files

I just bought my iPod nano 3 days ago Itunes installed fine. I have a LARGE mp3 collection (around 2800 songs). When I drag the top level folder for the entire collection to the library in the source window iTunes begins to import all of the tracks, some of which have to be converted. This all appears to work fine but when the import is done, I am missing TONS of tracks from my collection. Full albums are no longer full, etc. Has anyone experienced this or something related? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

You said 2800, it can only hold 500 or 1000 depending on your model

ITunes match won't download all songs from CD

Im having trouble downloading certain songs with iTunes match. There's a few albums I uploaded to iTunes from a cd that are not able to download one or more songs to my devices. For example, one album has 13 songs, but one song is greyd out. I don't understand why that is. It's the same with a few other albums as well. All albums with this issue are albums that were CDs I uploaded to iTunes.
My computer is authorized, so I'm lost. Any ideas out there? Thanks

All of my music won't synch from itunes??

all of my music in itunes will not synch to my iphone 4. There is plenty of memory and all the music is checked. I tried removing music from the iphone and resyching again, but still, the same songs in my itunes library will not synch to the iphone. What do I do?

Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes? About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Are you using the same account that you used to buy the music?

ITunes won't sync all of my Audiobooks...

Any ideas why some aren't syncing?

HT1349 my IPOD touch won't be recognized by my DELL Latitude PC and it won't synch. I'm technologically handicapped but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to computer with USB. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone help?

My IPOD Touch isn't being recognized by my PC(DELL LatitudeD630) and it won't synch. I'm "technologically handicapped" but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to PC with USB cable. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone offer suggestions that might solve this problem ? Thanks

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

All music gone from iPod & it won't synch

I updated my PC & 20 gig click wheel iPod to iTunes 5 & updater 2005-09-23. I got my iPod for my birthday in April and seem to remember updating the iPod software at least one other time with no trouble. But now my iPod won't synch. I ran restore (my only choice) and plugged it in to flash the firmware. Then I connected it to my computer to get my music back on it. I have quite a bit of music and it was taking a long time so I left my iPod connected to the computer and went to bed. The next morning the computer had the "update complete" message but the iPod had the "do not disconnect" message. I used the button on iTunes to eject my iPod. That made it disappear from the source list but did not make the "do not disconnect" message go away on the iPod. Even though the computer was going through the "updating x of xx" there is still no music on my iPod. So I plugged the iPod into my computer and the "do not disconnect" message came on the screen. However iTunes did not see the iPod. Then I ran the updater from the start menu and then tried to synch it with the same results as the first time. Any ideas?

It happens to me every time I get an iTunes/iPod updater. It all started when I copied a few new cds into iTunes yesterday, and got both iMac and iPod frozen when updating my iPod. AfterI failing to update a few times, I restored the iPod, got the 09/23 updater, and now it takes forever to copy songs from iTunes to iPod. Even worse, the whole process stops, and iTunes tells me it failed to write/read from the iPod hard disk. I restored once more, but nothing has changed. I am tempted to format the thing in the Disk Mode. Suggestions?

Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

IPod touch 3G won't synch new videos (SD) from iTunes

My iPod touch 3G won't synch any new videos (SD) I buy through iTunes. Tried restoring it twice, software is updated, de-authorized and re-authorized my Mac I'm synching to, manually managing videos (also tried the automatic synch with 3 and 5 most recent movies), creating iPod version (option grayed out), checked to see if some audio options (like surround sound) were selected on the videos and see if they were interfering (they weren't)...still no luck. I'm pulling my hair out. Just bought the videos solely to be able to watch on the touch. The new videos (6 of them...all bought directly from iTunes over a couple of weeks time) don't even register on the multicolor capacity bar when I select them while manually managing videos. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No luck, but thx for trying. That was one of the spots I had been to before. I searched around the forums and tried everything I could find listed with no joy. I don't get any warning that the videos won't sync. All my previous videos bought on iTunes the exact same way work just fine. The only difference with these ones are that they are new (both newer content to iTunes and downloaded more recently). They will play from iTunes on my iMac perfectly, when I select them for sync onto my Touch 3G there's no indication that they even register (the capacity bar does not expand...but as if I select an older movie the bar increases to show the spce that movie will take up). If I manually select the (new) video it shows the movie as selected (minus the capacity bar increasing the requisite amount), the iPod syncs (no warnings or complaints from iTunes about the video format...and there shouldn't be, I got the video from iTunes), but the video is not on there on my iPod when all is said and done. Very frustrating . Thanks again for trying.

I have transfered my music to a new computer. I have a iPhone 4S 64g and I have a lot of music. I believed i have followed all instructions to do this. I have even unistalled itunes and reinstalled. Synching to new computer not responding well

Can anyone provide more specific info when transferring iTunes to new computer. i have completed all steps including the ones ive seen on the forums since others have had same issue. Uninstall iTunes. Reinstall iTunes. Check synch all music uncheck synch all music...When I try to sync with new computer it transfers music, some go into downloaded songs only, if i connect to old computer its better, and then there is the new cloud! I am regretting changing computers but it was time. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just want my iPhone 4S 64g to synch correctly and completely.

It is probably best to start over. These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks
