ITunes music library only syncs a few albums

I got a 16GB 3GS today and have just updated iTunes to v9.2 as required. The iPhone has also been updated to OS4. However, when I try to sync 'Entire music library' (which should be 227 albums), iTunes will only sync 313 songs. Have tried manual sync as well as auto, un-syncing and re-syncing, but it always syncs the same 313 songs (which appear to be a random selection from my library). Anyone have any ideas - it's driving me mad!

Same issue here, only iTunes is only syncing 32 random songs (several I've never even listened to... they just happen to be on the CDs) out of 2827 possible songs. Tried manual, tried rebooting the phone and laptop, tried entire library (which won't fit but it still sticks the same 32 ***** songs in there)... nothin' doin'!
HELP PLEASE APPLE!!!1!oneONE!!ELEVEN!!!

    I had previously syncd the ipad and the songs on it, then loaded songs from an old ipod into the itunes account (using irip) and now the ipad songs that were in the itunes account are gone.  Can I change the auto sync settings before reconnecting the ipad again as to not lose the songs from my old ipod.

  • I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked.

    I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked. So basically it's syncing all of the songs when I just want the checked ones on. This is very frustrating.

    When your device is connected, check the tabs at the top ("Summary" "Apps" "Music," etc. Under the Music one, check to see if "Sync Music>entire music library" is checked. If it is, that may be why all the songs are syncing.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Syncing itunes music library with my ipod nano

    I set up my new ipod this weekend. All music in my library synced fine. However, I added new songs to one of my play lists, when I went to sync to get the new tunes on my ipod, I chose that playlist. It deleted all other music and only loaded that playlist.
    Also, I went to clean out my itunes music library and when I hit delete, it said that the next time I synced my nano, it would remove all songs not in music library
    Two questions...
    1. Do I have to check all playlists every time I upload new songs
    2. I don't want to keep all the songs I already have in my ipod on my computer. Do I have to keep all songs in my music library in order to avoid songs being deleted when I sync with my ipod or is there a way to only add new songs

    Hi Ricehouse;
    You have posted your questions on iTune and iPods in the forum for OS 9. I would suggest that you report either over in the iTune or iPod forums for Windows. There will be more people there that can help you.

  • I can't get my iPad to sync my iTunes music library

    My iPad will not sync with my itunes music library.  Proper boxes checked but it only downloads 120 of 1200 songs and I get the message that songs "can not be found."  Anyone know how to resolve this?

    Hi,
    Try disabling anti virus software and turning off the Firewall on your PC, restart the iPad and try syncing.

  • Syncing up existing PC music compilations to itunes music library

    Sorry, I mis-stated what I wanted to ask in my first posting. It sounded confusing after I read it. I have corrected it below.
    I just bought my I-pod and I wanted to put my current compilations from my music library on to Itunes. Unfortunately, when I uploaded my music library from my computer, Itunes separated all my songs from my already created compilations or playlists. My question is this:
    Do I now need to go through my Itunes library and individually drag and drop the songs I want to a new playlist in order to re-create my original compilations on Itunes OR is there a way for Itunes to grab my original compliations and upload them to my Itunes library just as they appeared and functioned from my computer music library?
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you,
    Evan

    Thanks for the response. I set up the compilations into folders in my music library so i could burn these favorites onto a cd when I wanted. Other folders were set up of cd's I copied from original cd's to my computer. For instance, if I were to look for an original album, I couldn't find it, but I would find all the songs individually listed through out my itunes library.
    Let's say I created a folder called "Hard Rock" in my PC music library, and in that folder I had 5 separate compilations of my favorite hard rock songs with separate names (titles I made up for each compilation). At any time I could burn those compilations to their own CD's with no problem via the media player. My question now is, can those same (existing) compilations or folders be recognized by itunes as a favorite group of songs or do I have to individually re-create them again in the itunes music library as a new playlist?
    As it stands now, my whole pc music library is in the itunes library, but now organized as it appears in my PC library. Does this make sense? I guess I am looking to make my itunes library appear almost identical to my PC library. I am not 100% computer savvy, so I am just trying to figure all of this ipod stuff out.
    One other question and this is coming from a rookie on all this stuff...what does clicking and un-clicking the boxes to the left of the songs do??
    Thanks for all your help!

  • Odd:  1037GB iTunes Music Library when it's really only 280G or so...

    I opened my iTunes library and while looking at it noticed that there were alot of duplicates in the library window. At the bottom for the Music list it says: " 252693 items, 730:15:50:30 total time, 1037.01GB"
    I looked in the actual Library folder at the suspect music and there are not duplicates in those folders -= just in the Library.
    I can get rid of the dups but this seemed odd and seems mainly a problem that might be more easily solved by rebuilding the library file or something = I'd rather not lose my various playlists and my ratings etc.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to clean things up without destroying the Library xml?

    Thank you so much for your reply Katrina. Interesting stuff. Somehow in the mega searches I was doing for answers I didn't think to search using the Vaio angle. I will definitely go through those Vaio Files. This is my 4th Vaio and I NEVER seem to use any of the preloaded software, but to this point have not had problems until I installed iTunes 9.
    Last night I read another post that reminded me that the music files that show up in the iTunes/music folder are just "pointers" or say "shortcuts" (I can't remember the actual term used) to where the ACTUAL music files are located. When I used the Add Folders from the file menu I've always assumed that these "shortcuts" have been placed in the iTunes/Music folder properly. But just in case, I clicked on the Copy Files to iTunes Media folder in Advanced tab to be safe and then I did the Drag/Drop from my windows MY MUSIC folder (rather than using the Add Folders to Library in iTunes). I started by dragging and dropping like 5 albums. Then I'd close, open, close, open etc. to see if they would stay in my iTunes music library.... and they DID! So I left it overnight and then this morning I dragged a bunch more albums into my iTunes music library. Did another close, open, close, open on iTunes and so far everything is staying in place. My next test is going to be to completely shut down my Vaio and start it back up and see if it's all still there.
    Do you think any of this makes sense, or relates back to the Vaio software issues from the post you provided? I don't quite understand why it would work to drag/drop but not simply click Add Folders to Library???
    Thanks Again,
    Jeromy
