ITunes - File can't transfer to iPhone, file couldn't convert
Hey community!
So, i've been struggling with this problem for a while now, pretty much since the release of iTunes 12 i believe! I have tried uninstalling iTunes, deleting library files etc. as well as factory restoring my iPhone. My library extends to over 5000 tracks, all in MP3 format at 320kbps (i'm very picky on quality of music haha), meaning that re-syncing multiple simes has been a hassle, i must admit.
The problem i have been experiencing is that, when syncing music over to my iPhone 5s, an error will appear once the sync is complete stating "iTunes could not copy (song name) to the ipod because the file could not be converted". Along with this, half of the music that does sync, simply skips when clicking on the song, implying that the song didn't actually sync either!
This problem only exists on my iPhone (my ownly idevice), on my computer my music all plays flawlessly.
Help?
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately not due to the iPhone only being to be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If all of the content is in your iTunes library since reinstalling Windows you have nothing to worry about.
If there is purchased content on your iPhone you can transfer them to your iTunes library by going to File>Transfer Purchases inside iTunes or follow this article.

You can't sync across accounts, so:
In Contacts select all the contacts (1 account at a time) and choose File>Export>vCard),
then on your wifes Air do the reverse, select File>Import. -

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks royThere's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
We just got our computer fixed after a virus and found we lost everything from our itunes. Can i transfer our family's songs(etc.) from our ipods back onto itunes?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases -
When you Command+Delete an App in iTunes, you can't Transfer Purchases?
When you delete an App from iTunes using right+click and delete option, you have some checkboxes to agree and than your app will be deleted. When you do this, you can Transfer Purchases from your iPhone, and you will get back that app deleted.
But when you Command+Delete an App in iTunes, you can't Transfer Purchases to get back that deleted app. Why is this happening? How can I get back the Apps from my iPhone without re-downloading it from AppStore?

can I download it for free still?

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

With the new update of iTunes I can't sync the iPhone, it doesn't appear anywhere, how can I solve this?
Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.
Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu. Also leave feedback for Mavericks. -
HT4461 Can I transfer my iphone aps to my new iMac?
Can I transfer my iphone purchased apps to my new iMac?
Yes, but only to store them on it; iOS applications can't be run on a computer. Having bought the iOS version of an application doesn't entitle you to download the Mac OS X version for free; the developers need to create and maintain them separately.

Can you arrange your icons in iTunes and the order transfer to iPhone,
I would like to know if I arrange my apps in iTune can I transfer them in that order to my iPhone 5, and iPad.
If you sync your apps then you can rearrange the icons on the screens when the device is connected to iTunes from the device's Apps tab. Whether or not that is easier than arranging them directly on the device may be a personal preference.
