Itunes does not sync my music properly

Hey there,
I synced my iPhone with my MBP the other day and only I have realized that all the music I didn't purchase on Itunes was lost... Most of these songs aren't even available on iTunes...
Anyways so when I open Music on my iPhone I can still see the covers of all songs but when I click on them a loading logo appears and Music just skips these songs- pretty annoying On my Mac I set the Music syncing thingy to 'all my music'...
Is there any way to fix this? I mean it worked when I first synced my iPhone with my Mac and now it doesn't work again- didn't change any of the settings tho...
Cheers in advance,
Freddakis

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

    my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
    I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
    Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.

  • Itunes does not sync Lost Music resent by Apple

    Hi guys
    I lost some purchased Music in the past. I wrote to Apple who restored it into my Purchased music on Itunes.
    However since then Itunes does not allow me to put these tracks on the Iphone saying I am not authorized to play those in this Computer.
    I emailed Apple again on this problem but they have been utterly useless. They gave me an US number to call when I leave in UK. Really poor support.
    I hope you can help me with this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Hagrid,
    Try finding one of the songs in itunes library.
    Double click on that song to try and play it in itunes.
    There should be a window that comes up asking you to authorize the computer to play this music.
    Put in your itunes store account name and password, then click authorize.
    Once the song starts playing, stop the song and try syncing to the iphone again.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes is not syncing my music properly, and asks if I'm sure I want to "remove existing music, films...." no!

    I have researched similar questions for this issue, but none of the solved answers seem to apply for me!
    This is what shows up when I click on 'music' on 'my device'  (which is an iPhone 4s ios 8) it looks fine, but as you can see- some recently purchased songs have not synced properly, despite me already transferring purchased files. I wanted to delete and organize songs, but when I select a song- there's no option to delete i1! as well as this, the music shown here is not up to date with the music on my actual iPhone.
    I then clicked on to the itunes library, and my music has not been synced there either. When I click sync music, it asks if I was to delete all of my existing music, films etc and I do not want that!
    I searched for a similar scenario to this one, and one answer was to transfer devices and back up music before syncing and removing everything, but it didn't work for?
    In desperate need of some help, I'm pretty clueless with the new iTunes and I just want to be able to have all of my music up to date and in sync!

    Everything that is on your device should be in your library too. If that is not the case then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. See also Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
    Once you have secured your content you can work on resolving the sync issue.
    When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
    Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
    Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
    Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
    Restore the chosen backup.
    In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

  • ITunes will not sync my music properly?

    I had an iphone 3, then i bought an iphone 4 from the MAC store, the iphone4 will sync everything except my music, it downloads some of it but the songs will not play all the way through and it will not download my playlists from iTunes.  As well it will download some of my photos, but when it gets half way through my computer shuts down.  I never had a single problem with my iPhone 3. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice now, and it does not seem to fix the problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer

    In iTunes, Select the album use FIle > Get Info > Info tab and check that the artist entry is filled then resync.

  • ITunes does not sync my music???

    I recently had to transfer my iTunes library onto a USB drive to get my laptops motherboard replaced. I restored the music back onto my laptop, and I just tried to sync my iPod for the first time today. Nothing happens. I tried restoring my iPod which didn't work. I just can't sync my iPod anymore. Can anyone give me any advice?

    OK, how can I change the "manually manage" setting on the iPod if the "apply" and "sync" from iTunes do nothing? I can make it appear to change the setting, but if the change doesn't get applied to the iPod, it doesn't work, does it?
    The iPod does sync when you connect it, but the commands from iTunes fall on deaf ears.
    PLEASE don't tell me to restore! That doesn't work either, because it initiates from iTunes!

  • ITunes does not sync all music on 4s with new MAC

    My daughter has an iPhone 4s that was sync-ed with her Windows PC. She recently got a new Macbook Pro. We added all her music to the new MAC and then tried to sync via "sync all checked songs" and iTunes is missing many songs. We then tried to sync by selecting artists and such and let it wipe all music. Once it was wiped we tried to sync fresh again and it still missed many songs. It sync partial albums. She is able to drag and drop manually to correct the missed songs, but would prefer to fix this so she can sync normally in the future. What can we do to get this fixed? I really dont want to do a restore and start from scratch...
    Thanks

    I´ve tried every possible solution listed, those that have worked for others...nothing has worked. My library has about 2777 songs of which at first only 1370 loaded. After syncing w/o music, which deleted all music from my iPhone, I then selected Sync Music again and synced...well this time only 391 songs were added!!! It skipped the other 1400 I already had in! I´ve come to notice that these 391 songs are the ones purchased directly on the iTunes Store, but previously I had ALL my CD´s ripped and loaded to my iPhone.
    I don´t know if this has something to do with the new iTunes version, but please, please, someone give me some light! I don´t want to go and convert all 2400 songs from MP3 to AAC..!! It´s not practical!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • ITunes does not sync properly anymore

    When I try sync my iPhone 5 (iOS7.0.3) with iTunes 11.1.2.31 it syncs my apps and co. but actually does not sync my music.
    The music I bought with iTunes is automatically downloaded on all my Apple devices. But when I add those ne songs to playlists on my PC and then connect my iPhone and start the sync, all steps are done, but in the music app, nothing changed. The playslists, to which I add the new songs, still remain same on the iPhone, as if I'd never changed anything...
    Can anyone help me with my problem or does have the same problem?

    So I've been looking for a solution for days. There has been so many problems for the past week.
    - Some songs play counts going up by 6 plays each time I sync
    - Songs not transferring from PC to phone
    - Songs appearing on the phone with download icon
    - When viewing 'What's on this phone' on itunes songs have the 'grey dotted circle of death' next to them
    Now I've deleted an album I bought the other day from iTunes from my PC and it doesn't even appear in my transactions from the past few days, And when I view it in the store it says purchased but there is no option to download it again.
    WHAT A MESS! Apple please fix this ASAP. There are numerous threads with issues that I have stated above and there is not ONE solution.

    I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

  • Why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    Hey ThierryWillame,
    Thanks for the question. Were these songs purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, see the following resource. If not, follow the same steps for the content, based on how you acquired it (delete and re-add).
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

  • ITunes does not sync with my previous library

    Hi there, I hope someone could help me out here.
    I have just recently formatted/re-installed Mac OS Maverick on my MBP, and iTunes (v 11.3) was also updated.
    I have moved my previous library and re-directed iTunes (iTune -> Preferences -> Advanced) to the library. However, iTunes does not recognize the library anymore and does not appear in it. Only my iPhone 5 has the records of playlists and songs. For now, when I want to sync the music with my iPhone in iTunes, iTunes will ask to ERASE the entire music library in the iPhone, which I do not want. How can I resolve this thing?
    Thank you very much for any help here. Appreciate it.

    You don't say what exactly you moved.  You don't tell iTunes to use a previous library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you want to use.  A library is everything in the iTunes folder.  Hopefully you copied the entire folder and not just the media files or else you will have to rebuild the library structure from scratch (and erase the phone).
