Itunes is not syncing my music though it shows in my library

I have a new laptop and downloaded the new version of itunes. Ive successfully added all my songs into itunes. However, when I go to sync, it doesn't. Yes, I have clicked the sync music and sync tones buttons. Yes, it shows at the bottom (storage space) and changes with these selections. It goes through the syncing steps at the top "syncing Cambria" "step 1 of 4". It appears to go through each step. Afterward, however, nothing has changed on my iphone. I've downloaded a program called CopyTrans which allowed me to add my music manually (bypassing itunes). But I am unable to transfer my ringtones. I don't understand why it would act like it is syncing and has all my songs and tones in the library but will not actually sync to my phone. HELP! I've been dealing with this ALL DAY!!

This is ridiculous that we can't get any support from Apple for their buggy software. My music is still all messed up and Apple refuses to help.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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!

My iTunes will not sync my music to my iPhone 5.

I have made sure I have the correct box checked on the summary page within the options box and on the music page, but my phone does not show any music. What am I missing?

Okay, just figured out a roundabout way of getting your new music to sync, but it's not pretty. I was having trouble adding new songs to a preexisting playlist that was already synced to my phone, so I found that I unsynced that whole playlist and then re-added it back, my new songs were there. It's annoying, but at least it worked...
UGHHH never mind!!! Doing that only synced ONE new song, not all of them! ***

ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs. I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
This is quite silly!

Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

ITunes has stopped syncing my music

A day ago, I discovered that my ipod touch 5th gen had only some of my recently purcahsed content on it even though I have instructed iTunes to sync most of my iTunes Library (and it has been this way for months). I went back to iTunes to verify the settings hadn't changed and they were as I left them. For some reason iTunes or the iPod has deleted many of my playlists, albums, etc. iTunes shows my ipod as almost but not full. I tried syncing again and now iTunes shows all the space from the deleted music and recordings. So, in summary even though my settings in iTunes are correct, iTunes is not syncing my music and has infact deleted it from my ipod. What gives? ANy help would be appreciated

It sounds like you previously synced to another iTunes library or computer. If you do so the contents on the iPod are replaced with what is in the liTunes library of the computer.
To make this you syncing computer see:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Also, if other devices or computers are using the same Apple ID, items purchased on another device and computer will automatically download on your iPod id Automatic Downloads are turned on in Settings>iTunes and App stores.
