Itunes is not syncing all songs in playlists to iphone

i have multiple playlists with 70+ songs in them, however after phone is synced, only between 15-22 songs are in the corresponding playlists on my iphone. just need to find out if anyone is having the same problem since updating to itunes 10.5, and how i would rectify it.

The reason that (for me) smart playlists were (mostly/completely) empty on my iPod Touch 2nd Gen was that I had specified in the smart playlist criteria that the files were MP3s but then when I synced the iPod I had the songs convert to the 128 kbps AAC, which means they no longer fit the rules.
Check if you are doing something similar.

Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.

iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?

I am having this issue also. Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists. The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist. I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick". I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also. Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success. How do we escalate this to Apple? Do they review these posts?

My iTunes is not syncing all my music to my iphone despite goin throuh the motions and saying its syncing

It starts out normal as if it's syncing properly and then reverts back. Stating its complete however half of my music is not synced and it says I have all the space available

I had similar problem. Found an answer and it worked fine. First, connect your 4s to your Mac and iTunes. Go to device, music and deselect Sync Music at very top. Then, go to Summary and Sync the 4s. Note that when finished all your music will be gone off the 4s. disconnect the iPhone from the computer and do a Hard Shutdown or reboot/reset. You do this by:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Reconnect to the computer and iTunes. Go to device, music, and check Sync Music. Then select Sync on the summary page. When finished all my songs and playlists were back on the iPhone the way they should be. Good luck.

Itune do not sync all my music on my iPhone 4

I Sync all my music library on my iPhone4 and iPad. iTunes tell me that I have 2195 songs to Sync. On my iPad, all the songs is their.
But on my iPhone, he only Sync 2046 songs (the size used on my iPad versus my iPhone confirm that I have song missing 0.7 GB missing).
I still have 4.8 GB Free on my iPhone, this is not a memory problem.
I have removed all my music on my iPhone, and he is syncing the same amount of music.
If is their a reason that the iPhone will Sync less song?

and interestingly: This solution does not work:
/t5/Music/Ovi-Player-indexing-files-from-folders-it-s-not-allowed-to/m-p/595905/highlight/true#M1346...
I removed the "my music" folder, but still I have all songs from this folder in OVI Music.
I want to completely get rid of all indexed music, and only have OVI watch a specific folder...

ITunes is not syncing all my pictures on my iPhone

I have iOS5 and iPhone 4s. Itunes is up to date too. I have about 2,000 pictures on my external hard drive that I am trying to sync on my iPhone. I have a 64GB phone. Only 900 of my pictures are uploading. I can view all my pictures just fine on my windows computer. Before the new phone and software update I never had any problems. What is going on? Is there anybody else having this issue?
Should I reset my phone?

Re: iTunes 10.1 is not syncing my Photos correctly to my iPad or iPhone
Nov 24, 2010 10:48 AM (in response to burdell1)
OK. Here's the fix. Haven't had any problems since I tried the following: 1. Use the temporary fix of deleting the com.apple.Aperture file.
2. Now re-start Aperture while holding Command + Option and select 're-build database'
3. Quit Aperture
4. Note that the progress indicator "Updating Previews for Sharing" appears before Aperture closes
5. Load Aperture
6. Load iTunes and connect iPad or iPhone (check for accurate library structure from Aperture)
7. Sync iPad or iPhone
8. Create a new folder in your Aperture library.
9. Move a couple of Albums to the new folder
10. Go to iTunes and click on the 'Photos' tab of the device sync options
11. Changes to Aperture library should update properly Let me know if this works for everyone else. I'm pretty sure it will. Seems that my library was corrupt, but rebuilding the library won't help unless the database (com.apple.Aperture) is deleted first.

ITunes will not sync all album artwork to my iPhone

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, some of my album artwork will not sync to my iPhone even though it's on my iMac. Songs that I have gotten from places other than iTunes, such as CDs, sync their album artwork to my iPhone without a problem. Songs that I have purchased from iTunes after updating my iPhone sync their album artwork as well. The only songs that will not sync their artwork to my iPhone are the songs that I've purchased from iTunes before updating to iOS 5. Any suggestions?

You have to turn your iPhone on otherwise it wont work.

ITunes will not sync ALL of my ringtones to iPhone 6

I updated to iOS 8.02 and now cannot sync ALL of my ringtones which still show in iTunes library. Some will NOT appear on my iPhone. What is the solution?
I am using iTunes for Windows.

Try double clicking on each missing track in iTunes and make sure it plays okay - sometime son restoring, the link to the actual file goes missing and although its in the list the file does not get transferred.
If the link is broken, it will put a ? next to the track and ask you if you want to manually locate it, which you can do and then it will sync.

ITunes does not sync all songs to iPod

Hi, I have the older iPod with the first color screen, 30gb. Now, for some reason upon syncing (multiple attempts), I'm only able to sync 3921 of 4,185 songs in my library on an external hard drive. All of my songs were imported from my CDs while some were bought at the iTunes store. I'm not sure why 264 songs won't import nor which songs they are.
Is there a way to figure out why they won't import and which songs are "stuck" in iTunes?
Thanks,
Mike

so i restore my ipod (30gb) to its original settings due to the fact that i had a lock code on there and couldnt remember what it was to unlock volume...so restored it and now all my songs arent syncing on it..

2 Computers, 1 AID: iTunes Match not syncing all songs

I have the following computers/devices all using the same Apple ID for iTunes Match:
-MBP used at home and remotely
-iMac used at home
-iMac used at work
-2 iPhone 5s
-iPad
All devices are using iOS 7.2 and 10.8.5, iTunes version 11.1.1.
The problem I'm having is that when I import music (or, in this specific case, an audiobook file) into iTunes on my MBP from a CD, that file does not show up on my iMac at home. The file's iCloud status is listed as "uploaded," and the file shows up on every iOS device, and on my iMac at work. Just not on my iMac at home. Both the MBP and my home iMac frequently share a home network.
Thanks for your replies!

I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this. I was esclated through several levels.
They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
I still have an open ticket. But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
My iOS devices are not working (iPad 3 and iPhone 4) my Apple TV however is working fine. But not showing any new songs I have added.

Can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5

I can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5. It always can sync some photos into 5. Then finish and prompts: "itunes can not synchronize (other)thousands of projects, and see more information in itunes". That means most of my photos can not seen on Iphone 5, it seems just can't import to 5. Is that the problem of Iphone or the pictures in Aperture, or even just because lack of sufficient space?

IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist

My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!!

I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.
