Itunes can't sync my songs into iphone

please help.
I'm at my wit's end. after upgrading my iphone to iOS4 and itunes to 9.2, i can't sync all my songs at all. i keep getting an unknown error (-50)
please help.

Hi,
since my company didn't clear iOS4 yet i'm still using 3.1.3 - and having the problem as well.
But since the problem on my side exists because the file can't be converted at all (manually in the library by right-clicking, neither aac nor mp3 (it is an mp3) I think it can't be related to the sync (in my case). The file seems to broken (only plays threeandsome minutes out of 7 it actually should have).
I defined a "electronic broken" genre and put that song into it since i sync the "electronic" genre and want to keep it that way.
HTH,
Guido

Try syncing the apps from your iPhone to your computer then sync the music using iTunes.

Make sure you use the same Apple ID.

Error (-50) Can't Sync Some Songs to iPhone 4

I have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes Library syncing to my iPhone. They would all sync well until I added one album, The Very Best of Eagles. Whenever it syncs now, it gives me an error saying "iTunes can't sync the song "Wasted Time" to the iPhone "Esteban Valle's iPhone 4" because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
I have already restored my iPhone and set up as new iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, and reencoded the album to no avail. Everything else syncs okay until it gets to this song, "Wasted Time"
What more can I do to fix this?

Actually guys, it's pretty dumb. I had imported also the disc "Hotel California" in the same session, and it turns out that that album had the song in question. I deleted the whole album and will try to reimport it. Anyway, mine's fixed, although now Im ****** I had to restore my iPhone . I'm gonna try to restore back to the old backup again.
Anyway I'll leave the question as unanswered because I know lots of other people are having this problem too, and it will encourage more answers.

How can I sync text files into iPhone?

How can I sync text files into iPhone? like doc. txt. for reading or editing

The native iPhone OS doesn't allow that. I think there are several solutions to this, some of which may be against the AT&T or Apple rules. One legitimate solution is The Missing Sync for iPhone by mark/space (http://www.markspace.com).
Before I had an iPhone, I owned a copy of The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It was a pretty decent app. In my opinion, though, their app for the iPhone is NOT worth the price ($40 new, $25 for a cross-grade).
Also, check the App Store (if you have 2.0 software)--there may be an app that does this, probably for a lot less $.

ITunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

Hello.
I get this error message
iTunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Have the first two been tried?
How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?

Can't sync photos, songs to iPhone 3G after upgrade to OS4

I’m using iPhone 3G. Just restored and upgraded to OS4. All my songs, contacts, calendar could be backup to my iPhone after the upgrade. Then, I downloaded some eBooks with my iPhone. But when I tried to sync the iPhone with iTunes 9.2 one day after the upgrade, no new eBook records shown on iTunes, no calendar updated on Outlook and on photos were sync to iPhone after the backup process. It seems that iTunes only performed backup but no data synchronization was done.
Can anyone help me? I can’t transfer songs, photos to iPhone. Please help. Thanks.

I have a similar, but slightly different issue. Also on an iPhone 3G. Some of my stuff synced, but not all of it. I've got my apps, my contacts, calendar, eBooks, and my pictures, but not my TV shows, movies, music, etc. And when I try to add them back into iTunes (File: Add file to Library), then select them to sync by selecting my iPhone under Devices in iTunes and clicking the Sync Movies box, then selecting the movies I want to sync, and clicking Apply... it says, "The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes Libary. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?"
I don't! And my iPhone is not synced with another iTunes Libary. What can I do?

ITunes can't sync my videos into my iDevices anymore!! :((

Hey guys,
My iTunes (v10.3.1.55) can successfully sync everything to my iPhone4/iPad2 except the new added videos (movies tab) though they're mp4 100% compatible!!
even though they just don't appear in their playlists anymore
FYI, I tried the following with no luck at all !!
1) Uninstalled/Reinstalled the itunes completely
2) Deleted (iTunes Music Library files) & created a new one
3) Checked (Content Restrictions) in iTunes & my iDevices
4) Checked (movies tab) options & checked (sync only checked songs and videos) option
5) Backed up & Restored iPhone4 firmware
6) Created a new playlist for the added videos
Have I got another option to do?!
Please, HELP ME

Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
any ideas before I get really frustrated?

Can't sync all songs from iPhone to iMac

my lap top was stolen and all my songs were on them, now i just have on the phone. i have tried to down load all my songs but the computer has told me that the iPhone belongs to another computer and has only down loaded all my purchased songs and not the ones that i had converted from records, how can i put these songs onto the iMac, can anyone help me.

Hello,
I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.

Can't sync 7 songs to iPhone 5 from iTunes? HELP

My iTunes is completely up to date and same goes for my iPhone 5. Seven songs that I recently added to my iTunes appear normal and play like any other song I have on there, but when I connect my Iphone 5 to the library, and click on the iphone tab and go to music "on this iPhone", the seven songs will not play when I click on them, they are "grayed out", and there is also a small circle made up of tiny gray dots just to the left of the check mark box for the song. I will sync my phone and apply and disconnect, then I look at my phone and the songs are not there?... Please help, Thanks.

I also found, finally, that selecting "manually manage" for the device on the summary page in iTunes for the helped.

Can't sync icloud songs on iphone

I have a PC, laptop, iPad, 4G and 3GS iPhones. In every instance, except for the 3GS, I'm able to see the music I have on iCloud. I've gone through all the set up steps, upgraded to IOS 5.01 and enabled automatic downloads in Store on the 3GS, allowed for Home Sharing on the 3GS. I've proven the set up is complete because I can see other data sync'd to the 3GS (contacts, calendar). I also purchased Music Match for the year. How come I can't see the music on the 3GS?
Thanks.

Check you have settings > music set to 'show all music' (under the iTunes Match on/off option

Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.
