ITunes will not synch all lossless files

I am using Easy CDDA Extractor to rerip my CD's into Apple Lossless format. Unfortunately I am finding that many, (very many) will no longer synch to my iPod Classic 160. I can't find any official limitation that would explain this. Is there one?

Here is the Apple Support Article on iPod Compatible song format.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_US
As for Apple Lossless, you have to update your iPod Classic firmware to version 2 series, if your iPod classic model is after 2009. Your iPod Classic software vesion is shown in the iTunes summary page. You would be out of luck if, it is version 1.1.2, as the hardware is not compatible with iPod software version 2 series.
Have a nice day!

ITunes will not play all music files in music folder

My iTunes music folder is on an external HD. I have 4662 songs in the folder. iTunes plays approx. half of the files though the all of the songs show up in the iTunes player window. When I try to play a "lost" file, nothing happens, no "!" nor window telling me it can't find the file. When I go to the file and click on the song, iTunes adds another copy to the iTunes player window and plays the song. Recently, I clicked on all 2000 songs to get them to play and deleted the copies that didn't. The songs that won't play won't download to my pod. When I finished clicking on files and deleting copies, I updated my pod.
When I shut down the computer, it lost all the changes and it is back where I started! I connected my pod and it deleted all the songs that iTunes won't play. Any suggestions?

WiseBird,
There might be several causes for that kind of erratic behaviour:
1st use Disk Utility to check your internal disk as well as the external one.
2nd Your Library database might be damaged
- Quit iTunes
- Goto ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes
There will 2 files named something "Library" - move them to your desktop
- Launch iTunes
As you're now starting from scratch, iTunes will offer to search for audio tracks - Don't let it.
- Your iTunes should be "clean"
- in iTunes Preferences - Advanced - General:
Point the Music Folder Location to the appropriate folder on your ext hd
Disable "Copy Files to iTunes music folder....."
- Quit Preferences
- From iTunes Menu - File choose "Add to library..." + select that folder on your ext hd that contains all your tracks.
- All your tracks should be back by now in iTunes Library.
- To get your playlists back: From iTunes Menu - File choose "Import" and open that .xml file that you moved to your desktop (might work but need not).

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

HT1386 My iTunes will not synch music downloaded from CDs from my laptop to my Iphone

My iTunes will not synch music downloaded from CDs from my laptop to my Iphone. Help!

Are you seeing an error message in iTunes when this happens?
Are you syncing the music manually, automatically or over-the-air?
To get a better idea of the syncing options take a look at this video and this Apple doc -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes

I have the latest itunes and I use Windows and suddenly after working fine for years, itunes will not synch with OUtlook anymore. Any ideas?

Itunes will not load all photos

Suddenly, my Ipad 3 will not load all of the photos that are in a folder onto the iPad into an album. I have a folder of 58 images and iTunes recognizes that. When I sync to add the images, itunes loads only 53 of them. I have repeatedly attempted to sync and it keeps loading the 53 images. I took the 5 images from the folder and put them in a new folder and Itunes will not load them. These images are JPEG's and are not any larger of a file than the ones that did load. I have even restored my Ipad and it still only will load the 53 images.
I had this same problem the other day where out of 96 images, it would only load 76. I have plenty of HD space available. I am at my wits end. All software is up to date now and still same issues so not sure what the problem is. I've deleted the iPod Cache folders, have a fresh install of ITunes and still no luck. HELP!

You removed the cache from iPhoto - correct?

ITunes will not authorize "Protected AAC" files

After dealing with this for a week, I'm going to try and seek help here.
Second Tier Express Lane Support Agent has confirmed that my iTunes will not authorize any "Protected AAC" files in my library (1303 files total). They have no idea why and have referred me back to iTunes Store support, which has not been able to help. None of the affected files are available for redownload from the iTunes Store. None of the items are available as "iTunes Plus" downloads (according to iTunes Store).
When I try to play one of the affected songs (or videos), I am asked to authorize the computer by entering Apple ID and password. Once I enter that information, I receive a pop up window that indicates the computer is already authorized and the file will not play. Same thing when attempting to sync with an iPod.
I have tried the following steps in order to remedy the problem:
Turn off User Account Control
Sign out then sign back in to iTunes store
Sign out, deauthorize computer, exit iTunes, delete the SC Info folder, restart computer, sign back in to the iTunes store, authorize computer
Uninstall iTunes, restart computer, install iTunes
Restore library from backup
Some additional information:
I am running the latest version of iTunes.
All songs were purchased using the same Apple ID (confirmed)
Incoming and Outgoing connections for iTunes are allowed in the firewall (and turning firewall off had no effect)
iTunes Store confirms only one computer is authorized
Previous version of iTunes was 10.0 (could that be part of the problem?)
Diagnostic information appears below. Is anyone else having these problems?

UPDATE:
This issue was finally resolved by a second level iTunes agent.
Apparently, we somehow had two iTunes accounts with the SAME APPLE ID, so it was necessary to change one of the Apple ID's to a different email address so the original account could be restored. The downside is we now have two accounts rather than one, but the good side is, at least we have access to all our content again.
I hope this posting might help someone else with a similar problem.

Itunes will not reconize music in file

itunes will not recognize music files in new computer. I have done everything in the help video and in the instructions. I have re-download itunes also, and restarted the computer many times.

Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
I'm a happy man once again.

ITUNES DOES NOT PLAY ALL MUSIC FILES AFTER DATA RECOVERY

My external Iomega Firewire 160gig HD, all of a sudden, changed the drive letter from H to F with unknown format.
I recovered music files ( Using Stellar Phoenix FAT)and files/folders are in iTunes but only 20-30 play (out of over 6,000)
I can play CD and rip new music in iTunes, though.
Any suggestions how to get my music play all library files??

Itunes will not sync photos - itl file corrupt

Hello All,
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP. The XP install had my drive partitioned and my itunes data was on the E drive. Now with Windows 7 I have one partition (C) and I was able to restore everything from Itunes to the new drive. All is well accept my photos which will not sync. I renamed the itl file and let it create a new one and my photos will sync. If I go back to the original itl file the photos stay there as long as I don't uncheck the syncphotos box. I need to go back to my old itl so that my music libraries are correct - including album art, etc. I don't know why this happened or if there is a way to get the itl file back to where it should be. If I did not have so much music I would just use the itl file and recreate my music library. I did see an article talking about moving the xml file to the desktop and deleting the itl file then restoring from the xml. I am just afraid that my xml file has been updated so much since I had this issue start that it will not be correct. Does the xml file only keep info on the music or is it a repository for all itunes data?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob

Me Too.
I have just updated the ipod touch software to 4.1. The update seems to have helped improve the very sluggish performance introduced with 4.0 but now photos just won't sync.
These are the same photos that are on the ipod Touch from software 4.0. The other sync items seems to have worked.
The sync gets stuck with either "Finishing sync" and barber-pole scroll or Syncing photos 4 of 4.
Unchecking the "Sync photos" Allows the sync to complete.
The "Remove photos/Keep photos" option appears when changing the "Sync photos" option. Keeping the photos leaves the previously installed images on the IPT. Using a PowerMac G5.

ITunes will not sync ALL of my ringtones to iPhone 6

I updated to iOS 8.02 and now cannot sync ALL of my ringtones which still show in iTunes library. Some will NOT appear on my iPhone. What is the solution?
I am using iTunes for Windows.

Try double clicking on each missing track in iTunes and make sure it plays okay - sometime son restoring, the link to the actual file goes missing and although its in the list the file does not get transferred.
If the link is broken, it will put a ? next to the track and ask you if you want to manually locate it, which you can do and then it will sync.

TS1362 songs i have purchased on itunes will not play all the way from start to finish....

a group of songs from different artist will not play from start to finish and will skip to the next song 3/4 the way through the song...

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Itunes will not open new mp3 files in Recently Added playlist

I just downloaded the newest update from itunes.
Before this, whenever i downloaded an mp3 file (not from itunes) it would open in itunes in my Recently Added playlist.
Now, when i click open in Itunes, the itunes window opens up but the file isnt in the playlist or in my library at all. I have to find the file and add it to my library. Is there a way i can fix this?

Do you mean using Safari?
Safari prefs > General.
Tick Open safe files after downloading.

ITunes will not sync all album artwork to my iPhone

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, some of my album artwork will not sync to my iPhone even though it's on my iMac. Songs that I have gotten from places other than iTunes, such as CDs, sync their album artwork to my iPhone without a problem. Songs that I have purchased from iTunes after updating my iPhone sync their album artwork as well. The only songs that will not sync their artwork to my iPhone are the songs that I've purchased from iTunes before updating to iOS 5. Any suggestions?

You have to turn your iPhone on otherwise it wont work.
I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.
