Itunes wont sync more than a few songs with my phone

Windows 8 OS, Custom built PC, 6-core AMD processor, 8gb memory, over 1tb storage.  I am syncing my iPhone 5 with my computer running iTunes 12.0.1.26.  When doing so I am attempting to transfer roughly 1000-1500 songs 7-10GB of music to my phone.  I have tried manual management of my songs and using the sync system set up in iTunes.  I have no duplicates of any songs and my songs come from all different sources, CD's, purchased, or gathered by friends.  Anyways, the problem is, no matter what I do and I have tried many things in my troubleshooting knowledge, the sync only ever transfers 50-200 songs (never the same number of songs) before the sync silently stops as though it has completed the transfer.  I look on my phone and no where near the number of songs I've tried to transfer works.  The entire transfer and syncing process also seems very buggy and unresponsive about half the time.  I've tried different lightning cables. have reset my phone to factory settings twice and I have reinstalled iTunes as well.  I'm a pretty tech savvy person but this has got me spinning.

The exclamation mark means that iTunes can't find your songs (the actual music files).
Closing iTunes only removes the exclamation marks but does not solve the problem.
What you have to do is to adjust the path to your Music folder (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Change) and make sure all your songs are there.

  • Iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook

    as title says: iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook.
    when i have a contact in iphone and i add more mobile numbers than just one, they do not pass through to outlook 2007. i realize this is because there is no room in outlook for more than 2 (if i remember correct) mobile numbers,but is there a workaround?

    I've got the same problem but with a "4 number" limit. Many of my outlook contacts have more than 4 numbers associated with them but the iPhone contacts app only shows/syncs 4 numbers. Any way to increase this limit on the iphone?

  • ITunes not syncing more than 1 song at a time with SLVR

    I need some help with Itunes and syncing it to my son's Motorola SLVR L7. It seems that if I try to sync more than 1 song at a time, it fails out saying that it can not find file. I can sync one song at a time, but I have to disconnect and reconnect the phone each time. It would take forever to do 100 songs. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    I also have 2 iphones, v1 and have not problems with them.
    Thanks for the help.
    Ron

    Yes.  Click the first track, and hold CTRL while you click additional tracks.  Then hit Delete.
    (If the tracks you want to highlight are in a row, click the first, hold Shift and click the last.)

  • Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

    Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

    Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password.  How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

    Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password.  Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on.  Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again.  Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request.  How can I turn this off and still have protection?

    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Can i sync more than 1 ipod touch with one itunes account?

    I have two ipod touches, one for each of my kids, and i would like to know if i can use one itunes account for both of their ipods.  Do I need 1 account per device?  Also, as they don't have an email account, do i need to create an email account for the itunes account to work?

    mate, just use one account for both, and create a playlist each, so that they have the songs that they specifically want, or they could probably both just have all of the music, it doesnt take much space up. And yeah, just have one E-mail account for the one itunes account, you could probably just use yours, or if not, your going to have to create another one. My whole family uses the one acoount, and it doesnt bother us, it also doesnt send me any emails, so its fine to use my account

  • Syncing more than one Google Calendar with BB?

    Do you mean a change to the mail box settings or a change to an e-mail? If the former, it won't change in Outlook if you change it on the iPhone. Whether a change to an e-mail (e.g. a deletion or a move to a folder) also changes in Outlook depends on whether you are using IMAP or POP to connect to your mailbox server. IMAP will keep the mailboxes synchronised all all times. POP will not. If you use POP for multiple mail clients (e.g. Outlook and your iPhone) make sure you choose to leave a copy of e-mails on the server or each message will only transfer to the first client to connect to your mail provider's server. IMAP is much better for the sort of set up you plan to have.

  • HT1386 How come I can't sync more than 21 songs?

    Why can't I sync more than 21 songs to my I phone?

    The number should only be limited by the available capacity on your phone.  If you are having problems syncing music to your phone and you aren't manually managing your music, check the following:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone and your music should transfer.

    Is the iPod actually doing the music playing?  If the iPod is connected using a USB port (on the car audio system) and docking cable, the car audio system is doing music playing.  The iPod is just acting as a storage device (like a USB flash drive) with song files.  So, in that setup, it does not matter whether the iPod is set to shuffle or not, because the car audio system is playing the songs.  Any change to how it plays songs would have to be a setting on the car audio system.
