ITunes skips the music section of the sync

On my brand new windows 8 pc, I can't seem to sync my music (most of it from my old pc) to my iphone 4s. The sync simply skips the music part. Ideas?

As you have discovered, episodes downloaded with iTunes show up under Podcasts. There is no way to change this. Something invisible inside the file tells iTunes to do this. You could download those same shows from the producer's Web page, but that could mean lots of downloading, and older episodes might not be available.
To group episodes together when some appear in Music and others in Podcasts, make a playlist. Fill it with the episodes from the Music and Podcast libraries, and sort them in he order. You could even make a smart-playlist for this, where +Album | is | <podcast title>+.

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

I suddenly have problems syncing my itouch. when i connect it to the computer, it shows that i still have all of my songs and playlists. But when i look on my itouch, it says i have no content in the music section. and when i try to sync it, there's error

I wanted to listen to some new music i added to my itouch, but when i looked, it said no content in the music section. So i connected to the computer and opened itunes. My device showed up and everything, my playlists and songs where still there, but my itouch still showed No Content. Then i tried to sync it, and there's always an error popping up, so now i have no idea what to do! I have too many songs to start over again! And the iTunes i am using now was not my original one because my old computer broke so i got a new computer and new iTunes, so this iTunes doesn't have all of my songs. i'm sick and tired of being afraid to update my itouch because it says it won't save my songs so when it updates my songs could be deleted. Could someone please help or tell me how to contact the Apple people?

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

There is an album on a smart playlist on my ipod that is not on the music section of my ipod. I am not synced to any computer. How do I delete this album from the playlist and presumably my computer?

You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer. This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

HT1386 I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now my Outlook notes won't sync and notes no longer appears in the advanced section of the info page

I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone. Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab. Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how to get this to work.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

I wish to transfer all the music on my ipod (synced with my home computer) to my itunes on my work computer. Is this possible? I am concerned if I plug my ipod into the work computer, which has itunes but no music content, that it will automatically sync and wipe all the content from ipod. Can anyone advise?

Only if you use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC and only if you use the same Apple ID for your other computer.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

Any photos in your camera roll, not previously imported to your computer, you will lose. You should be regularly importing these photos, as the iPhone's camera roll is not designed as a storage device.
Had you been regularly syncing/backing up, you wouldn't lose anything. Now you know, don't backup your data, and you will eventually lose it all, guaranteed.

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

I transferred all my music to my new computer, went to sync my iphone and the music library won't sync. It's like it's leaving the old library on and trying to add a duplicate one, keeps saying there isn't enough room. Help please?

Everything from my old computer is still in the music portion of my phone, I don't know how but it hasn't synced that part. I went through and edited the new library and there are fewer songs, it's telling my I don't have enough room on my phone. This is impossible when it is less music than I am currently holding. How do I get it to delete the old information and put on the new library?

How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.

There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation.

I have an audiobook stored on the music section and would like to move it to the audiobook section. Is there a way to do that?

I have an audiobook stored on the music section of my ipod classic 2006 and would like to move it to my audiobook section. Is this possible? How would I do that?

Yes. Highlight each of the audiobook tracks that are appearing in the Music section of your iTunes library. Right ->click on them and choose Get Info. When the window pops up, click the Options tab. Here you will find an option for Media Type with a drop down list. Choose Audiobook from the drop down list.

Why is it when I press on the music icon on the bottom it says ''you must be synced to the computer to listen to music''? I haven't been able to listen to music in a long time.

Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window. Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
Then insert the flash drive into your computer. Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.
