ITunes not syncing all songs in library to 5s (iOS 7)

Ok so after I synced the other day I went to play some music on my phone and noticed that many of the songs had the "downloading" symbol next to them and the song name was greyed out and not clickable. I have tried resyncing my phone, restoring it, reseting it, everything. I noticed in itunes when I select my phone and go to "On This iPhone" that the songs that are unplayable on my phone and are also greyed out. Screenshots are attatched. Help me please please please please

Hello Dakota,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone.  For an issue like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply,"  then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

  • Itunes not syncing all songs from ipod.

    I just got a new laptop...downloaded itunes.....and plugged my ipod in. iTunes only took a few of the songs from the ipod? (55 out of 499) Why? Have no idea how to fix this

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.                       

  • 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?

  • ITunes not syncing all pictures

    My iTunes will not sync all of my pictures from iPhoto. After every try I go and delete the iPod photo cache, but it still doesn't work.  I'm trying to sink my MacBook with my iPhone 5 and my ipad mini, but neither work..

    I found this in another thread

    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 not adding all songs in an album?

    Hi all,
    i've noticed i've added a new album of music to my itunes, however when I sync this to my iPhone 5 not all the songs are transferred over? This has happened more than once.
    I have my music syncing set to push over all the songs, however it pushes over only a few (the current one had 18 songs and I got 6 synced over complete with the album art).
    Any ideas?

    I have experienced the same thing for months now and was in false belief that there was something wrong with my songs. iTunes should go through all songs and play them randomly. There is absolutely no excuse for this not to work properly. Repeat option is completely separated. It's purpose is to play songs indefinitely. It shouldn't be necessary to turn repeat on for iTunes to play all songs while shuffle is on.
    I will just never be able to comprehend how is it possible for people who make this software for years not to see this problem while they test the application (if they do that at all) and fix it. This is just ridiculous and pure nonsense.

  • Itunes not syncing all files to ipod - permissions error

    With the newest verison of itunes is not syncing all of my files to my ipod - this is so frustrating! I have taken itunes/quicktime completely off my dell and reloaded with the newest version of itunes/quicktime. Changed to manually managing my ipod files. Now I have 2 problems left - 1. 2 recently purchased audio books show up in my ipod file in itunes but do not show up on my ipod; 2 I can ony get 100 of 500 songs to load onto the ipod with a warning that I do not have permission for the rest.
    Dell Inspiron 9300     Windows Vista

    Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
    Any suggestions would be helpfull

  • Can't sync all song in library to ipod

    Hi! I just got the latest itunes version and can't sync all songs in my library to ipod. It is manually set to manage songs and when I select all songs to drag (more than 2,000) it is only syncing 281...help please!!!

    Hey samikumar,
    Thanks for the question, this is definitely a weird issue! To troubleshoot, let’s start first by re-creating your iTunes library and playlists:

  • My 4s is not syncing all songs I've bought on iTunes

    My phone is only syncing some songs/albums I've purchased. How do I play all songs I've purchased? I'm 99% sure I setup home sharing. HELP and thank you!

    Thank you! I've always just assumed you couldn't play iTunes content on Spotify, but never occurred to me to try installing Quicktime! Did the trick.

  • Itunes not syncing new songs + other problems. Help please!

    My computer had to be taken to the shop last week and the whole system had to be wiped and recovered. I forgot to tell them there was another file I wanted saved so I lost a lot of my music.
    I managed to download the free version of touchcopy and get my music back on to itunes. The music that I lost comes up with a question mark and wont play on itunes but is in ipod and plays fine. Is there anyway I can get the original files of these songs on to my computer as I cant make playlists or anything with these songs?
    Also in my ipod a few of the playlists have been screwed up and there are about 5-6 versions of 90s music, recently added etc that have nothing in them. Is there anyway to get rid of them?
    My main problem now is that itunes wont sync the new music that Ive just added (it wasnt on the ipod before). When i plug my ipod into my computer itunes tells me "sync is complete" and it also shows up with "do not disconnect" on my computer even though the sync is apparantly complete. How do I sync this music on to my ipod??
    Sorry for that incredibly long winded problem, I really hope someone can help me!!

    Here are things I did:
    Unchecked the playlists, Synced to remove all songs, rechecked them, synced again. NO RESULT
    Added the songs manually by dragging and dropping them into my iphone. NO RESULT
    Eventually, I cracked, and went for a restore, which luckily did the trick.
    No solution was found however, and I would love to know if anyone has encountered this issue as I'm sure it will happen again.
    Thanks

  • Ipod Shuffle - 2 Gen, 1 GB - not sync all songs and blank autoplay menu

    Hi,
    I have two issues with my ipod shuffle, 2 Gen, 1 GB.
    When I attach it to my computer a blank autoplay menu pops up. Nothing can be selected and I just click cancel and it goes away but it comes up every time I connect. I've tried going into the properties of it in my computer and setting the default action to do nothing but it still comes up. I've also disabled disk use within the settings of it in iTunes but it still happens.
    Second when I try to autofill from a playlist, it shows all the songs ready to be synced but after doing about 11, it stops and says it's completed when it clearly hasn't. If I press sync again it does a few more then same result. It just won't fill the ipod up. I've double checked there's room on there and I have set zero space for disk use so the entire 1 GB is used for music but it still won't do a complete fill in one go.
    Anyone got any ideas? Using latest version of ipod software 1.0.4 and latest version of iTunes 10.1.0.54

    My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen (latest firmware + iTunes) is
    almost only playing purchased .m4p songs. Only very
    few (1-2 out of 200) of .m4a are playing on the
    shuffle.
    The songs are getting transfered properly and when
    the shuffle is connected I can play the
    songs/.m4a-files stored on the shuffle through Real
    Player (The folder structure is accessible through
    the FileExplorer while the upload process is
    running).
    If I only upload not playable .m4a songs the shuffle
    blinks "no music uploaded".
    Looks like a firmware problem of the Shuffle since I
    can't see any pattern which .m4a songs are played and
    which not.
    Can anyone share this experience? Any solution?
    WHAT does iTunes' Get Info "Summary" say about the songs that don't play?

  • Syncing but not syncing all songs

    So i'm trying to sync music to my ipod and i should have a bit more then three songs :/ http://prntscr.com/6vfff9 Never happened before and i don't know how to fix.

    Where are you looking for the song...under what menu? If it doesn't have an album name on the ID tag (under Get Info), it won't show up under Albums. If it has an album artist listed instead of an artist, I'm not sure if it will show under artist. If it's not showing under Songs, is the name of the song entered correctly under Get Info.
    And...do you have your syncing preferences set to Sync All?

  • Iphone not syncing all songs

  • 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..

  • ITunes will not sync all of my library to Apple TV

    Loaded the newest versions of Apple TV and iTunes. All of a sudden I get an error during the sync process...unable to transfer because I am "not authorized to play the songs on this computer". I purchased the songs on this computer and can play them on the computer..this message makes no sense. I have a second Apple TV in another room and it syncs and transfers all my songs with no problem.
    Whats up?
    Thx
    Lee

    I figured it out my problem. The error message indicated that 63 songs couldn't be synced to my apple tv. I looked at a couple of the songs and discovered that they were form a different itunes store account. I logged into the itunes store with the different account info and resynced the apple tv. That solved the issue. Interestingly, there were actually 650 songs (not 63) that were waiting to sync. I think the error message may only be able to display 63.
