ITunes not transferring all songs from my playlists to my iPhone. Only a handful gets transferred.

I have a Mac Mini that I recently bought and transfered my iTunes Library from my previous Macbook to the mini.
I can see all the songs in iTunes (running in the Mini) and can also play them, all playlists intact.
Now when I tried to synch my iPhone with the iTunes (in the Mini) it all went fine, except that after the synching a lot of my songs are missing from my iPhone.
I tried to run the synch again, but did not help.
Can you please let me know how I can have all the songs synched to my iPhone.
Thanks
Debz

Yes of course.
In fact all the missing songs were in my iPhone4 before I did my synch with the new Mini.
And before the synch I made sure that all required playlists are checked for synching in iTunes.
This is very annoying ... I think my last resort is to do a factory reset and then connect to my Mini to build it from scratch. But I would wanna avoid that as much as possible.

  • 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.                       

  • Itunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

    why is iTunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

    Not at this time. There is no connection between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad
    Maybe in a future release
    Suggest to Apple. IPhoto menu =>> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

    Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
    The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
    have tried many times, what am I wrong?
    Thank you in advance!

    Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
    I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
    In your itunes client music library:
    Right click on one music file
    Hover over the Add to Playlist option
    Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
    See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

  • 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.

  • I purchased an iphone 5. I'm having difficulty transferring the songs from the ipod to the iphone. Can someone please help?Aslo, I'm running off of a PC

    Hello,
    I recently purchased the iphone 5. I'm having a hard time transferring my songs from old to new. I'm working of a PC with windows 7 if that help. Any help would be greatly appreciate
    Thanks

    iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
    the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
    in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
    in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
    but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.

  • Can not import all songs from computer HD

    only some of my songs import from my HD to Itunes library. How can I get all of the to import. they are all mp3 files.
      Windows XP  

    I have the same problem but I have some more info onwhat happens with my songs. First of all I want to say that all the songs I am talking about are in MP3 format with all the tags completed correctly.
    I have two computers and iTunes on both of them and I had noticed this behaviour when importing miscellaneous songs into my main computer's iTunes library. So before I tried importing my collection of 2800 songs from full albums into my existing iTunes library I used my second computer to verify that all the songs would be imported into an empty library, and they were. However, when I went back to my main computer and imported the same songs, from the same folder structure, iTunes skipped several of the songs.
    Can somebody please tell me if iTunes has some kind of integrated filter for removing duplicate entries when importing MP3 files.
    Thanks

  • ITunes wont burn all songs in a playlist

    I am trying tyo burn a cd from my playlist. I have all the songs selected but when I hit the burn button, several of the songs become unselected and it then burns only the remaining selected songs. There appears to be sufficient space on the CD and I am receiving no error message.

    Go to Edit\Prefs\Burning, and see if you're set to 'mp3 cd.' If you are, AAC files will be skipped.

  • HT1386 When I try to sync changes from my playlist to my iphone the sync process gets to step 7, applying changes and then freezes up, the changes are not being put on my iphone. What do I do to correct this issue?

    When I try to sync changes from my playlist on the computer to my iphone the sync process gets as far as step 7, applying changes, then freezes up and the changes are not getting to my iphnoe.  How do I fix this issue?

    Are all these songs associated with the same Apple ID or were some purchased on another account?
    Are they tagged properly? In the library does it break an album out into several different albums with a few tracks each?
    Check your sync settings for each device. Do you accidentally have only certain songs/albums syncing?

  • Ipod does not transfer all songs from itunes

    I have the 80g ipod classic. I have 16,000 songs on itunes. when i go to setting on ipod and go to about it shows that i am missing 13 songs. for a while i was missing 5 songs then 9 songs and now 13.yes i still have room on my ipod for music. I do not have a clue what songs are not being transferred to my ipod. what is causing this and what is the solution.

    yea i guess that could be possable. i guess with 16,000 songs and only 13 did not transfer to ipod i should be happy but this is mac not windows so i would like to think the soft ware would work without flaws.. as for all my dupes i put over 1500 cds in my itunes library. a lot of the cds were various artists etc. that is y i have so many dupes. my imac has a 500g hard drive so i have plenty of space left on my hard drive. i have 2 external hard drives where my music is backed up.i have a 1terrabit lacie that i just use for time machine and a 500g lacie to back up my music and other stuff. iwould never trust my music to be backed up on only 1 external hard drive. if it died my music would be gone forever. thats y i use 2 external hard drives

  • Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(

    i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
    There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?

    I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it.  I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
    So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
    Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
    Thank you

  • ITunes not showing all songs.

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes and imported my old library.
    Library is stored in default location of "C:\Documents and Settings\Larry\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media".
    When I view the iTunes Media folder in Windows Explorer the size is listed as 227 GB and 80,304 files (in 5,948 folders)
    After adding the above iTunes Media folder to iTunes (File>Add Folder to Library) I only have 7,245 items and 39.63 GB of songs.
    Any idea why iTunes is not recognizing so many of my songs.
    Also, the vast majority of these songs are from CD's I ripped to my old pc. Very few were purchased via iTunes.
    Thanks.

  • 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 displaying all synced files that are on my iPhone.

    All,
    I am having an issue that I did not see here.
    First, ever since the last iTunes upgrade (the one prior to the latest upgrade that added iTunes match), I have had problems with album artwork displaying on my iPhone. My efforts to solve that issue by deleting and then re-syncing tracks without artwork created another issue: Duplicate songs on my iPhone. The strange thing is, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes and I click "Music" under iPhone, the track list displayed in iTunes shows no duplicates. However, if I navigate on my iPhone (even while connected to my computer), it shows duplicates of several songs. The duplicates appear to be the ones that I tried to delete and then replace to show the artwork.
    I have just done a "restore" on my iPhone to try to resolve the this issue since there apparently is no way to clear the duplicates in iTunes (remember - the duplicate tracks are not displaying). I will see if this solves the issue. Does anyone know what is happening here, and most importantly, how to prevent this from happening again? This is very annoying!
