ITunes won't let me sync some of my albums to my ipad

So, I manually sync my first gen ipad, and I was wondering why I have not been able to sync some of my music over. It is a couple of albums that were on my computer, but not from/on itunes. Added them to my library, and when I tried dragging them over to my ipad under devices, it acts for a second like it's doing something (beside "ipad", the little loading animation that swirls around pops up, but not for long) and my syncing screen doesn't show up on the ipad. No music was moved over, but yet when I look at itunes on my pc and at the music i tried to sync, every single song that I tried moving over is greyed out and has a small symbol like a refresh symbol beside it (two arrows chasing eachother in a circle, not animated.) please help, thanks!

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
Regards

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

TS1538 iTunes won't let me sync! 3rd gen ipod touch

My iPod touch 3rd gen is seen by windows, seen by itunes, but when I click on the device on the sidebar to bring up the information, it just says "ipod" where my music selection usually is. Just a big frustrating white screen that won't let me do anything. I've spent the last hour going through all Apples troubleshooting and still nothing. Re-installed the drivers; started and stopped apple mobile device whatever, went through EVERY SINGLE STEP listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410 and nothing. Reset my computer, restarted the device multiple times, restarted itunes, disonnected, re-connected, held both home and sleep button past the "turn off device" screen, nothing. Any idea's on why this doesn't work now that I've done a factory reset?

You should have all of your music on the new computer, assuming you have used your backup copy to put the music on the new computer.
When you sync, it will erase the ipod and put the content from the new computer on the ipod ( which should be the same, since it came from your backup copy).

ITunes won't let me transfer some of my music to my iphone

Hopefully someone can help me with this issue: I have recently had to rebuild my entire library (lesson learnt:always do a back up), however since doing that back up my iTunes has decided to pick and choose what I can put on my iPhone. For example: I had an album on the phone that had no artwork so i wanted to transfer the new version with the artwork but iTunes won't sync it with the phone yet it did for other albums. All my music is working fine in iTunes.
I have the 'Manage Music Manually' box ticked and have always done that with my phone and iPod but now I'm running into problems.
Both my iTunes and iPhone are up to date.
P.S. My OS on mt laptop is Windows 7
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

LadyLaRee, I can understand how losing contacts can be frustrating! First, which Android do you have? If you have numbers from Facebook, those cannot be edited because the information is coming from the user's Facebook profile. Also, your contacts from Yahoo may only have the email address which is why it is showing that way. They would need to update the number on their profile. The settings will vary by phone, but if you open your contacts, press the Menu button, you will normally have options for View or something similar. You can select which contact groups you want to show or not. Verify which options are checked. You can deselect Facebook or Yahoo if you choose. You will also have an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.

ITunes won't let me sync my iPhone without entering that passcode, but I've forgotten my passcode. How can I get assess to my phone again?

Unfortunatly my friend was being stupid and stole my iPhone and put a passcode of it, but he made it a random code that he doesn't know himself. I tried to sync it with iTunes but since I never synced it with that computer it won't give me acess to anything, the computer I origanally sync it to was wipped and got restated from scratch. I never had the need to sync it to it again so I never did (Which I'm now really regreating.)
So is there a way I can get back into my phone again? (And if there is how do I do it? and will it erase everything on it?)
Thanks so much for your help

LOST PASSCODE
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
Enter Wrong passcode

Re-Installed iTunes, won't let me sync.

I had to re-install my OS, so I backed up my library on my shuffle before I dumped everything. Now I have re-installed iTunes and it's telling me I am synced to another library. Is there any way to fix this?

The iPod shuffle is only designed for use with one library and lacks the full manual setting that the larger iPods have to safely connect to a different one. You can however still copy the songs from it if you are careful and once the library is recreated it will be safe to sync.
Retrieving songs from a shuffle is a bit different from retrieving songs from a regular iPod. When you connect to your computer you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, your reaction of course is to press "Cancel". As soon as you connect a shuffle and choose "Cancel" when you get the "linked to different library" message the iPod will disconnect. For a shuffle follow this process:
1). On your Windows desktop go to Edit>New folder and add a folder to receive the songs from your shuffle.
2). Download SharePod from this link: SharePod
3). Connect your shuffle to your computer. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. Your iPod will connect but iTunes won't open, the hardware icon should appear in your Windows system tray.
4). Open Sharepod, it should have picked up the presence of your iPod and show all the songs on it.
5). Highlight all your songs in the program window (click on the first song in the list and hold down the shift key, click on the last song and all the songs in between will be selected).
6). Click Copy to PC (the icon is in the top left corner) and choose the folder you created on the desktop or simply drag the songs from SharePod to the folder: SharePod - Copying tracks to your PC
7). When all the songs have transferred close SharePod
8). Disconnect your iPod by right clicking on the hardware icon in your system tray: Safely Disconnect IPod
9). Check the desktop folder and make sure all your songs are there.
10) Open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library, navigate to the folder on your desktop and add the songs.
11). Connect your iPod. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Choose "Erase and Sync", iTunes will reload your shuffle with the songs you recovered and link the iPod to this new library.

Itunes won't let me download some songs without 7.6.2

When i attempt to download some songs, i get a message "You must download version 7.6.2." I download it, restart the computer and it still does it! I don't know what else to do. Other songs i download with no problem. I'm running windows xp.

Go to Help->About iTunes and determine what version of iTunes you are actually running.
If it isn't 7.6.2, you are not installing it correctly.
If it is 7.6.2, I would recommend contacting iTunes support.

Itunes won't let me sync songs onto my ipod from my itunes library

i just want my music on my compuer on my ipod lol

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT204074 iTunes won't let me transfer some of my music

So I have music that I purchased on my iPhone and I want to transfer it to my iTunes on my computer. It will transfer almost all of my music, except about three albums. It keeps saying I need to authorize my computer, however it is already authorized.
I've already tried deauthorized and re-authorizing my computer and it still hasn't worked
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks

Hello there, hey33brittany.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Old computer crashed and iTunes won't let me sync my old iPod

My old computer crashed and when I plug my old iPod into my new computer, iTunes asks me if I'd like to erase all the music from the iPod and copy whatever music I have within my new iTunes. I lost a lot of my c.d.'s when I moved, so I don't want to do that. How do I get all my music from my old iPod onto my new computer?

Hello Justin,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this article for instructions on how manually copy the contents of your iPod back over to your new computer. Even though the article mentions Vista and XP, Windows 7 should be similar to Vista.

Otherwise, see this older post by Zevoneer for countless other ways to copy it back over.

ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

I have itunes 10.5.8 and cannot update it any futher, i just installed iOS 6 on my iphone and now it won't let me sync to my itunes because it says i need the new version...is there anything i can do to avoid upgrading my entire mac os

i have itunes 10.6.1 and can't update itunes any further because im using mac os 10.5.8...the problem is that i just updated my iphone 4 to the new i OS6 and it won't let me sync to itunes without updating to itunes 10.7....help please??

Not for free, no. Well I guess there is. Don't sync your phone. We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
Some people don't seem to need 10.7. Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

I have intel mac 10.411, want to access iTunes, won't let me unless upgrade tp itunes 10, but it needs OSX 10.5. I just want to download some music, not upgrade my operating system. It's not THAT old. Ideas?

As long as you don't need all the bells and whistles of the iTunes Store such as Ping, and don't need to sync an iOS device running iOS 4.x, then iTunes 9.2.1 should work for you. It should be available via Software Update, but if not, you can still get it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
but it would be best to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x.
Regards.
P.S. Mac OS X 10.4 was discontinued three and a half years ago, so yes, it's getting rather long in the tooth. Cheers.

For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.
