ITunes trying to sync missing music

iTunes keeps trying to sync music that isn't there, and I was wondering how to let it know that the music is no longer there?

Clean up your library with iTunes Folder Watch and its option to "Check for dead tracks on startup".

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back?

    I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back? When I go to the iTunes store and look at the songs I hade before, it says I already purchased them, but when I go back to my library, they are all gone. I thought it was just removing the songs from my phone, but now I have no music on my phone or PC. Please help!

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

    Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync.  This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351

  • Itunes won't sync my music!

    This is ridiculous, I've trying to sync my music and nothings happens. I have followed every single advice people have posted here and still is imposible. I never had any problems with this, I used to do it wirelessly too, and it always worked! Now up everytime a new update comes along sometings goes wrong. I can't even begin to explain at how frustated this is. if I buy an iphone with so much space is because I want to have my music. Someone needs to fix this. I miss the times when Jobs was alive, we didn't have this kind of problems happening, someone needs to get back to work and fix all the problems apple users are having. 

    *I put my music on the Ipod driver*
    What does this mean?
    Did you copy the iTunes from your old computer to the new computer?

  • My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from ipad back to my computer but I keep getting a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased. It also says the ipad was synced to a different library.

    My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from my ipad to my computer but get a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased and is synced to a different library. All the music purchased from itunes synced but I need to get the music that was not purchased on itunes. How do I do this?

    You don't.  the ipad is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    If so, not good.
    You may be able to purchase  a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.

  • Itunes won't sync my music (help please!)

    Okay, so I've been working on this for two days, I even checked every possible answer ever on this website and nothing helped. I've been trying to sync new music for forever now, but it gets stuck at step 5 (or even step 1 sometimes) and does absolutely nothing. My new tracks won't sync into my iPhone 4, and the old tracks I want to delete stay on there. (Yes, I know I can delete them on my phone, I've tried, but everytime I sync it again, they go back onto my phone.) Also, the music that I bought (that I don't want anymore because I was young and stupid) don't want to delete as well, even on my phone. It's been like this since iTunes 11 and iOS7. I am getting reallllllly frustrated, to the point that I want to break down into tears and/or break stuff into my house. What to do??? Please help, I am really desperate! (If you have any questions, just ask me, I'll probably be on my computer all day, crying. Thanks.)

    Oh, and also, sometimes, an error message appears: '' The iPhone ''(name)'' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-54).'' I really don't know what to do!

  • Trying to sync new music i got on my mac which is my new computer to my iPhone and erase and sync is saying it will replace the contents of my phone. Does it mean Photos also or just Music and Videos?

    I got a Mac and i downloaded new music on it and im trying to sync the music on this computer to my iPhone which is hooked up to another iTunes and iTunes is saying " An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes Library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library" does this mean that it will also erase my photos or just my music and videos ?? if it does is there another way to sync with out all my contents being deleted??

    You can only sync one iTunes Library from Mac to iPhone.
    And just so are you aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged, thus merging content > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • Why is iTunes trying to sync deleted items to iPhone?

    Hi,
    I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4.
    When attempting to sync my music, iTunes tries to sync particular items twice. The result is that the second time it tries to sync it fails, and it results in a message "x items could not be synced see itunes for more information".
    Attempted Solutions:
    I erased all the music off my iPhone (having previously had it on synchronising particular playlists). However this left all the duplicated items that iTunes were trying to sync to the iPhone as showing as audio files on the summary tab and in the music tab. I can manually delete these if I select manually manage music however this comes back again when I press sync. I don't understand why it's trying to sync music (and taking up space on the iPhone summary tab) when I have de-selected synchronising any music at all.
    I have deleted the items in questions completely from my iTunes however iTunes still attempts to synchronise then when connected to the iPhone. They do not show in the Music App on the iPhone but they do show as greyed out entries on the music pane in iTunes under my iPhone's device name. Again I can delete these but upon synchronising my playlists by de-selecting manually manage music these items re-appear!
    Someone please help me!
    Thanks,

    Yea mine tends to do that too sometimes but most of the time I just eject my phone from iTunes if its not connected or I let it try to sync because I know it won't sync since my phone is not connected to any sort of power source.
    You could always try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes if all else fails.

  • I get an error when trying to sync my music. It says I do not have enough access privileges for the operation.

    Follow this instruction exactly to the last line.  It worked on mine.

     check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music (or media) folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. if permissions settings check out, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so 
     now try consolidating again.

  • I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer.  I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
    I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right.  I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums.  Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.  To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
    I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
    I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer.  I had all of this music on my old phone.
    Thank you so much for your time!  I'm obviously not very good at this!

  • Trying to sync my music to my iPhone music won't sync

    I have tried and tried to sync my music to my iPhone.  I have selected "sync only selected playlists, artists, and genres"  On my phone it states I have 890 songs on iTunes it states I have 764 selected to sync.  There are songs on my phone that weren't selected to sync I don't want all my music librarby on my phone just some of it...  Why is it not syncing the music I have selected?  Why!!! WHY WHY!!!!!  So mad!!  I have unchecked and removed all music and tried to resync and that didn't work...  I have yet to get the latest update as I am scared of all the bugs....  So....  Can someone anyone please help me!!! 

    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.

  • ITunes has stopped syncing my music

    A day ago, I discovered that my ipod touch 5th gen had only some of my recently purcahsed content on it even though I have instructed iTunes to sync most of my iTunes Library (and it has been this way for months). I  went back to iTunes to verify the settings hadn't changed and they were as I left them. For some reason iTunes or the iPod has deleted many of my playlists, albums, etc. iTunes shows my ipod as almost but not full. I tried syncing again and now iTunes shows all the space from the deleted music and recordings. So, in summary even though my settings in iTunes are correct, iTunes is not syncing my music and has infact deleted it from my ipod. What gives? ANy help would be appreciated

    It sounds like you previously synced to another iTunes library or computer. If you do so the contents on the iPod are replaced with what is in the liTunes library of the computer.
    To make this you syncing computer see:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Also, if other devices or computers are using the same Apple ID, items purchased on another device and computer will automatically download on your iPod id Automatic Downloads are turned on in Settings>iTunes and App stores.
