ITunes Music and Playlists Partially Syncing with 1st Gen ATV

Anyone have this issue? My 1st gen ATV does not have all the music I've loaded in iTunes and my playlists are only partially synchronized. I've reformatted the ATV and reloaded iTunes 10 - same result.

I'd like to update this post. Nothing from iTunes will sync with my new iPhone 4s. The only item that transferred to the phone was a ebook, but it, of course, ended up in the iBook App. I have tried rebooting both the computer and the phone, checking preferences and settings. I am baffled - and frustrated. When I first posted, when the iPhone was connected to the computer, and I went to "Music" to select playlists or genre or whatever, "Audiobooks" showed up under genre. Now Audiobooks doesn't show up anywhere. Please help. What am I not doing or doing wrong?

Anyone had issues with iTunes 11.0.4 like me? Keep getting initial (post upgrade) tutorial screen when going into iTune and loss of sync with 1st Gen Apple TV (infuriating as have to re-connect and re-sync everything!!!)

Following upgrade to iTunes 11.0.4 I have had intermittent but numerous (at least 10 incidents) where I go into iTunes and I am presented again with the initial (post upgrade) registration/tutorial screen....as if I have just upgraded iTunes!
This is very frustrating as apart from having to keep re-setting my preferences (e.g. display side bar and menu bar), iTunes no longer recognises my Apple TV (1st generation) as a device. If I check on my Apple TV under 'Computers' my iTunes library is displayed but 'grayed out' indicating the Apple TV can no longer 'see' my iTunes Library. To resolve, I then have to disconnect the Apple TV from my iTunes Library then reconnect again (which works) but ou've guesses it...al the music and movies I have synced across to Apple TV needs to be synced across again....which takes time as we know.
I have re-installed (and re-downloaded) iTunes twice and ruled out any connectivity issues. I suspect some form of bug with iTunes.
Anyone else experienced this and any tips to fix this?

Yes stupid itunes 11.0.4 does not sync to my Apple TV. I tried resetting it and no luck.

I want all my music and playlists to sync on all my devices.

So I want all my music and playlists to sync on all my devices. I'm not sure if I do not have the correct options checked or what. I have an iPhone 5, a PC, a laptop and a tablet and I would like to make it so that if I make changes on one device it affects everything. I have an active iTunes match subscription but I'm not sure if that's the issue. So like if I buy a song new song on my iPhone and I add it to an existing playlist or create a new one, I want it to be the same way or update on all my devices and vice versa. Like I currently have a playlist that I created on my phone and I would like it to sync to all my computers but it will not for some reason. Also, when I plug my phone into my computer (whether it be my PC or laptop) that I have purchases and what not that are not present on said device and would I like to transfer...but then it can only be synced to one library? I just want all my libraries to become one and sync together. Can anyone help me with this? I consider myself to be incredibly technologically challenged. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi,
If you have iTunes match enabled, you should be to change playlists on your iPhone and also turn on automatic downloads on all devices
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Manual sync is not available when match is turned on and in any event the sync is one way - PC to iOS devices.
Do you keep your actual files on your PC's hard drive?

Move itunes music and playlists from one disk to another on same mac pro

I was running Maverick 10.9.1 on my early 08 Mac Pro. I was having significant problems with the system locking up and having to shut it down manually. After discussing the problem with an Apple Support Rep, I executed a clean installed of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a new HDD. I need to move my itunes library from the old Maverick HD to the new Snow Leopard HD. My Time Machine is corrupted for the old drive. How can I move my music and playlists from itunes on the old drive Maverick to the new Snow Leopard drive? I will also need to move my address book contacts. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks. This solved the iTunes problem. Any suggestion as to how I cam move or copy my address book to the new HD? I can't find the location of the address book files on the old HD.

HT1364 Due to lack of space on my c drive I decided to move my music folder to the d drive. After I done this I changed my mind and put the music folder back on the c drive and now my itunes music and playlists etc. are missing. How do I get them back?

Due to lack of space on my c drive I decided to move my music folder to my d drive. After I done this I noticed all my music was gone from itunes so I decided to move the music folder back to the c drive to try fix the problem. All my music and playlists etc are still missing from itunes. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem???

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Losing music and movies while syncing with the new itunes 7!

Several times I have lost my movies and music when I have connected my ipod and it synced with itunes. I synced earlier in the day (or the day before in other cases) and it worked fine. I didn't change any options on the ipod. After I lose the files I click on my ipod in itunes and the sync check boxes have been unchecked. when I recheck the sync boxes it will reload all of my stuff but it is a hassel, especially if i'm in a hurry. I never had this problem with the earlier version of itunes. What is making it lose the files when I sync?

Are you syncing it to more than one computer? If so it is operating normally. If you want to sync to more than one, you must opt to Manually manage your music. If you opt to do this, then be sure you have a backup of your music somewhere other than your iPod as you might have to restore it.

Itunes music and playlist does not sync correctly into iPod touch?

Ipod touch does not reflect itunes library. Y ipod touch is reflecting music I do not have and is doubling playlist. Anybody know what is going on and how do I resolve this mess?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

(PC) iTunes Music Library won't sync with my iPhone 4, not enough space?

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right "Community area"?? If I'm in the wrong area, please point me in the right direction.
I am getting this Error Message coming up on PC:
The iPhone "UserName's iPhone" cannot be synced because there
is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library
(additional 513.13 MB required).
My phone is a 16G.
I currently have 13.15GB of music on my physical iPhone.
I have deleted all songs (except purchased ones) on my iTunes Library (on the PC), I now have it down to 107 songs.
When I go to [Settings], [Music] and choose [Sync Music, Entire music library], it comes up with the error message above.
How do I get rid of all songs on my iPhone except for my purchased ones so I can have room on my phone again?
I tried to use a program called 'TouchCopy 12' a while ago but it has really confused me and I have doubled up on some songs?
Help!
Thanks in advance...

It is possible that iTunes is slightly confused by what is and is not already on the device. In such cases it may think there isn't enough room when there should be. These steps will usually resolve such an issue:
Backup device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.
You should copy off the contents of the camera roll first unless you have Photo Stream set up and it reliably captures everything. It also assumes that all media content on the device is in your library. If that might not be the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Won't play all of itunes music and won't sync books at all

Am having all kinds of problems after updating to the newest software on 3gs. All of my music shows up on the phone, but only a few songs will play. Books will not show up at all. Tried resyncing both music and books and it will not. Syncs contacts, etc but not those media items. All the correct boxes, etc are checked in itunes. When doing an actual sync it only takes seconds where as before with all of my music it took quite a long time.

I could not agree more. EVERY TIME I use iTunes Match on my Apple TV it cuts off the last 30 seconds of at least 3 out of every 10 songs. These are songs I bought on iTunes not uploaded from a CD. There is zero reason this should be happening with a perfect internet connection. There is no good excuse. Please fix this Apple!

ITunes music library not completely syncing with my iPod touch??

I have restored my iPod, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. When I look at the file structure, there are multiple folders with music in them, not all consistent. Any ideas what I could do to get all the music where it is supposed to be. My library is a mix of ripped CDs and purchased from iTunes Store.
Interestingly, when I open iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, all the music is there and available to listen to.

You can see that the ipod is connected, it goes through the syncing process but it dosen't sync the library back to the ipod anymore. A month or so ago I did the update and it was doing the same thing. So iuninstalled itunes, reinstalled 10.6.325 and fixed my register to get it to start syncing again, I had to index 5500 songs all over again. then i tried to sync to add some new music last night to the ipod and itunes erased everything and didnt re-sync.
I just restarted the ipod and tried sync through wi-fi and it seems to be working, so I dont if its fixed or what.

TV Shows from iTunes Music Store will not sync with my iPod

I have a video iPod (5th Generation). I just downloaded some videos from the iTunes music store and they will not sync with the iPod. I get the message "...some videos cannot be played on this iPod."
The error log says that the videos are not in a supported video format. How can that be? I purchased these from the music store.

This is actually the iPod nano (3G) forum. You might get better help, faster by posting in the iPod "Video" forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157

How can I migrate my itunes music and playlists from my old PC to my new macbook?

Hi
I have a approx 250 GB of music and itunes content to move to my new macbook pro (running Lion) from my PC laptop (Windows 7)
I'd like to retain all the playlists that I have painstakingly built over the past few years but I dont want to rebuild them all manually. I'm not concerned about retaining info on play counts etc, I want to copy all the media to the mac and replicate the playlists.
None of the media is in the default itunes location (normally in Music in My Documents), the iTunes Media folder lives in another folder on my harddrive called 'Audio etc'. The majority of the music files are in various subfolders I created manually and the newest stuff lives in the iTunes Media folder (since I recently told iTunes to organise new music for me).
When I've moved my music from PC to PC I simply copied all the itunes files and copied my music to folders replicating the same file paths as per the previous computer so the playlists are looking for the music files in all the right locations. Easy.
I considered copying all the itunes library files from the pc to replace the existing itunes files on my mac and copy across all my music (not sure where to put it though).
I expect the 'migrate files' setup wizard on the mac would help me in this situation or is it cleverer that I think?
One suggestion I read was to use the consolidate function in iTunes which will copy my entire collection to the iTunes Media folder and I assume will update the file locations for the playlists and library file then some how migrate that to the mac. Only problem is my harddrive will not have nearly enough space to have duplicate copies of all that music in the iTunes Media folder and it's original location at the same time.
Any suggestions?
I'm stupidly trying to do all this in time for a DJ gig tomorrow night but if I get desperate I'll just have to copy my music over and manually create some of my important playlists.
Thanks
Jon

How to back up all my iTunes music and playlists on a external hard drive

How do you back up your iTunes music & playlists to an external hard-drive (in this case a W.D.Elements)
My Computer is an I Mac 27 inch, Late 2013 OSX Version 10.10 Upgraded to "Yosmite" on the 26th October 2014
Thanking you in anticipation of your help.
Vince Cygan

Thank you Niel,
My 21,574 music tracks are populating the external hard-drive as I reply. I'm assuming my playlists will accompany them. My playlists start with music from 1914 to the present, each year is divided into 4 month periods so I know almost exactly when each record was released or from 1952 onwards when it entered the charts.
According to the progress line the procedure should take 2 hrs 20 mins approx.
Thank you once again Niel

Moving iTunes music and playlists to and External Drive

Hi
I was running out of space on my PC, so I coppied all the music the .itl and .xml files onto an external hard drive (E:\). I then deleted the same files from the iTunes folder. I then went into iTunes under the Preferances / advanced tab and changed the directory location to point to my new E:\ drive but when I restarted iTunes nothing appears in the library or no play lists appears. Obviously I have done something wrong - what it the correct process to recover all the music and play lists that are now on the external E:\drive ?

I tried the same thing about 6 months ago. Unfortunately, the maestros at iTunes have created an annoying feature so that the iTunes library can ONLY be sited in your "My Music" folder on your internal hard drive.
From the iTunes help menu, "The iTunes Library file is a database of the songs and videos in your library and the playlists you've created. This file is located in the iTunes folder inside your My Music folder (in your My Documents folder). Do not move this file to another location. If you delete it, iTunes will create a new, empty copy the next time you open iTunes, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created will be lost.
What a monumental bummer!!
