ITunes won't put some of my songs on my iphone

When I try to sync them to my iphone, they show up with exclamation marks when I click on the music folder of my iphone in iTunes. One the phone itself, it doesn’t show any of the songs. Those songs play fine in iTunes under the main music folder, but won’t copy over.

try if MP3 Validator can fix your problem files.

ITunes won't sync any of my songs to my iPhone. It won't convert any songs

So, recently, iv'e been having a common error with iTunes in which it doesn't let me sync any songs to my iPhone. Every time i connect my phone via cable to itunes, it start to sync. After it has done a few songs it will give me an error saying that the song couldn't be transferred to my phone because it couldn't be converted. I do have the 'convert to 128kbps AAC box ticked and.
i have gotten some of the songs to sync on via wifi syncing, but half of the time that is greyed out!
I have also re installed itunes many times, and also restored my phone to factory settings to see if that worked. the problem still persists.
I have no idea what to do any more!

Here's the youtube video by the way

ITunes won't sync all of my songs to my iPhone 4S

When I sync to my iPhone 4S, it won't allow my to manually manage the music. The box can be checked, but other than that, nothing happens. On my phones music section, there are no options, other than voice memos, so I can't drag music to it. When I sync my iTunes, it syncs to iCloud only part of my library, and I am forced to download what I want to permanently reside on my iPhone from the iCloud. However, not all of my library is available. How do I get the rest of my songs there? Supposedly, iMatch was the solution, but it did nothing.

Is the music in question selected to sync?

ITunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

According to this article Using iPhone on an airplane you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

My itunes isnt burning discs. some of the songs are AAC audio and others are MPEG??

my itunes isnt buring discs. some of the songs say they are AAC audio and others say MPEG audio. i dont know if that has anything to do with why its not burning but i dont know what else could be wrong

If you're burning an audio CD, it shouldn't matter. If you want to burn an MP3 CD, then all the tracks must be in MP3 format. iTunes will not convert them on the fly.

My itunes won't put music onto my iphone, i'll click and drag to my phone but it won't take it. How do I fix that?
Please help me out...

You can only do that if you switch manually manage ON.
Connect iPhone to iTunes, select iPhone in iTunes left panel, go to Summary tab and switch Manually manage music and videos to ON.

I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices and itunes?

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?

Ok, thanks! I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products. Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

ITunes can't locate some of my music... seems random... some was purchased, other songs from my CDs. Also, it won't sync some that were purchased to my iPhone even though it shows in my iTunes. What to do?

iTunes shows quite a few songs that it can't locate. Some were songs that were purchased, others are from my CDs... not the entire album, just some of the songs. The songs still show up on my iPhone from previous syncs. Also, I purchased some that I've put in a playlist and it plays fine on my computer, though it won't sync to my phone. The others that I've purchased in the same manner do, just not that one. I've tried adding it elsewhere, I have deleted it and re-downloaded it... yet it still won't show up on my phone when I attempt to sync it. This has all occured since I've updated it to iOS 7. Any advice to remedy this is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

ITunes won't recognize some of my CD's. Displays songs as Track 1, Track 2,

I'm trying to put some of my CD's into iTunes but some of them are not being recognized. Instead of listing the songs by name they are just listed as Track 1, Track 2, etc. Is there a way for me to manually type in the name of the songs so that I can differentiate between them? I can't have a whole bunch of Track 1's etc. on my iPod. There's no way to tell them all apart. For example, I loaded a CD into iTunes and it listed all the songs as Track 1, Track 2. etc., instead of by name. When I updated my Nano the songs appeared as track 1, track 2 etc. on the Nano. Pleae help! How do I get the correct song names in the library?

OK, the first reply actually wound up working afterall. I don't know what I was doing wrong the first time I tried. I think it was because I was double clicking and all I apparently needed to do was click once. Thanks to all who replied!

Album titles are missing from some of the songs on my iPhone, but show up in iTunes normally.

Some songs that are synced onto my iPhone are missing album names. It's completely blank. I went back and double checked on my computer, and found that the album is all there in iTunes. Furthermore, the album artwork shows up on my iPhone. So something weird has to be happening.
For example, iTunes shows songs as having a name, artist, album, track number, year, etc. When it shows up in Music, the album is missing along with the track number (I assume). The song IS on my iPhone, it's just missing the album TITLE (not the artwork though). I can find the song under songs, but not albums.
I went back and checked in iTunes to make sure all the obvious things weren't affecting it. I removed it from my phone, then re-synced it. I changed the artist name, album name, everything. I checked and unchecked 'part of a compilation.' I put it on a playlist, took it off the playlist, synced the album, the artist, synced nothing and dragged it to my iPhone. Nothing worked. For the life of me I can't get this album name to show up for all the songs on this album. It's weird because the album is definitely shown in iTunes, and the song definitely gets synced to my iPhone without that data.
I'm completely at a loss here. Any thoughts?

I have this same issue. All the data (including artwork) is in iTunes, but on py phone (4S, current OS). the album title is missing. If I'm using bluetooth to connect to my car, it shows as "Unknown Album."
There isn't any rhyme or reason to it. I've had it happen to singles as well as one track of a complete album. It doesn't seem to matter if artist matches album artist or not or whether it is part of a compilation.
One more bit of information. I recently purchased the entire soundtrack for Hairspray. At first the album name was on my phone no problem. Then I went into iTunes and edited some track information, changing the artist name (and album artist) to "Cast Recording" and removing the check for compilation. After making those changes, the album name went missing.
Any help would be appreciated.

My ipod won't sync some videos and songs to my ipod

I have a 80gb ipod video and when I try to add some videos or songs to it, itunes pops up with an error message that says: "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." What can I do to solve this problem and get my videos and songs on to my ipod.

See if this troubleshooting article helps.

ITunes Won'r Recognize Some MP3 Files

I have 2400+ MP3 files in My Music folder. All were ripped using the same DVD-+RW drive, same software (WMP 10.0) and same settings (192Kbps). All were ripped within several days of each other, all from purchased CD albums.
When I tried to add these files to my brand new iTunes library (in order to transfer to my brand new 5G iPod) iTunes only recognized 1802 files. I attempted to manually add the files that weren't recognized, no joy (no error messages either, nothing). I researched the issue; I made sure the file folder permissions were appropriately set; I scanned the hard drive for physical defects; I defragmented the drive; I ran several ID3 tag verifier utilities; I played the "problem" MP3 files on every other music player software I own (WMP 10.0, RealPlayer, MusicMatch) and they played flawlessly. Lastly, I attempted to re-rip the files directly to iTunes from the original CDs; that worked, so I can safely assume there are no copyright or protected-file issues to deal with.
Short of re-ripping 600+ music files to iTunes manually, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to get these files onto iTunes?

I have the same problem.
I've had these songs in itunes & on my ipod before for awhile & they played just fine. I upgraded itunes & everything seemed fine, until I auto synced my ipod & I get this message saying that five files aren't copied to the ipod because the ipod won't play them. Then I try to play them in itunes & itunes won't play them, even though they show up in the library & are MP3s. Quicktime player & VLC both play these files still...
I have no idea what could cause the error for these random 5 songs, which are not related to each other & come off the same CDs as other songs which are still able to be played...

Why Won't iTunes Won't Put Certain Album Tracks in Right Order?

Hi everyone. I love iTunes and the Apple iPod, they are my most favorite audio tools that I have ever used, aside from XMPlay.
This problem is not a huge deal but has been irking me ever since I first tried iTunes. I would post a screenshot, but am not sure how to.
I have a certain CD. It is an abridged version of a certain performance of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," in original German.
For as long as I have had this album in iTunes, it has put track number 15 before track number 1, and ended the disc with track number 14. I have tried everything I can think of to redo or correct this problem...nothing works. (Yes, I tried deleting and replacing it in iTunes.)
I also had this problem in another situation, but it got fixed randomly. I have an album called Dick's Picks, Vol. 18. It is a compilation of songs from several concerts in February 1978, by the Grateful Dead. Dead.net released for free download a couple other songs from those concerts, so I added them into the track order.
At first the same thing happened--the new songs, no matter what track number I gave them, went to the beginning of the album. (No, there were NOT any extra spaces in album name). Then, after selecting all the songs and changing the album name several times, they finally got into the right order.
This problem has NEVER happened to songs that I converted into mp3 from .mod, .ogg, .umx, .it, or .mid files. It happens only to albums originally on a CD or downloaded from a web site as mp3.
Any help at all would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading.

I appreciate the reply. How do you check permissions (what is permissions)? This is very strange since it worked flawlessly in my itunes libraray before recently as well as my ipod and all of a sudden it wouldn't play in my library so I deleted the tracks from the library and tried to re-add them but it doesn't load them now and doesn't give me any kind of error message.
These are official MP3 tracks that I downloaded from the official Radiohead website and they play fine on my Ipod, Windows Media Player, and Quicktime. Just not Itunes itself.

Itunes will only show apple tv as device, but itunes won't show some tabs

when apple tv is connected to my laptop, itunes will show the device but the screen won't show some of the tabs like: info, or music, it does show: summary, photos. What is wrong with itunes not showing the apple tv device source tabs?

Hello Nate, thanx for the solution but that also doesn't worked for me and to name it - I am not willing to disable my firewall to get something running that worked before the atv 2.4 and itunes update - same with my network settings - after trying static IPs I returned to DHCP - so if there are friends in my network they don't need to adjust anything at their devices! And I am not working with WLAN - just simple cable - good, fast and save!
My atv has a static MAC-Address isn't it an easy thing for a software to search for it? I am willing to enter it in itunes if I could but I can't!
The whole software programming seems not to be very buggy and insufficent to me!
e.g.
1) The atv reboot-function on the atv-remote with pressing - and menu for 5 seconds always gets me the fancy question mark - so the only real reboot is pulling the plug,
2) On itunes I can test my network, my iphone and my ipod (which I don't have) but why can't I test my apple tv connection?
3) Sometimes I had the problem that I have to sync some content (music and videos) more than one time to be accepted from the atv - even if it was mp3 and mp4 - but that's not a problem anymore while there is not any sync for the atv
It seems to me that I am forced to enable SSH or FTP-connect so I can get rid of itunes!
