Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

    Downloaded from where?
    Did you follow Apple's instructions for transferring data from an old iPhone to a new one?

  • Sorry for stupid question.  I have just got a download of a piano accompaniment (not from itunes).  I have ?downloaded it - where did it go?!  I cannot find it anywhere.  Thank you so much.

    Sorry for stupid question.  I have just got a download of a piano accompaniment (not from Itunes).  I have played it and think downoaded it but where did it go?!  I cannot find it anywhere!  Thank you!

    Generally it is not possible to download anything from a web site when using an iPhone, so if you were just using Safari, you probably didn't actually download the track but just played it from the web site. If you used some other app, tell us what app and someone may be able to provide further assistance.

  • Will only sync a few songs and then says unable to sync

    I have a very old ipod - no color, click wheel 20GB. Everytime I try to sync it gives me one of these 2 responses:
    Attempting to copy to the disk "Kimberly's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    The iPod "Kimberly's iPod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
    Generally it is followed by another message saying that _______ song cannot sync.
    I have tried resetting it to the factory and starting all over again but it still will not work. Any suggestions out there?

    Hi,
    In my long experience this is an issue that Apple has never fixed since first introducing iTunes Match.  I have had lots of music that has the same play issues as you describe in your initial post, but I've never seen them fixed.
    I did identify a strategy that gets around the problem (sort of, because it is not always 100% successful).
    I noticed the issues never appeared to affect songs I purchased in iTunes, only songs I'd ripped from CD, especially songs I ripped from CD years ago, when I ripped a lot of songs in mp3 format at 96kbps. It didn't affect all 96kbps mp3s, just some of them.  I used rippers like Music Match Jukebox, etc.  It was only later that I started use iTunes for ripping.  I'm guessing there is an incomptibility between other mp3 rippers and iTunes, but that is just an educated guess.
    My strategy:
    I re-ripped (using iTunes) all my low butrate mp3s to Apple's AAC Encoder, with it set to Apple's iTunes Plus recording standard.  This is the same as you get when you buy songs from iTunes.  That was part 1.
    Part 2 was to remove the old mp3 versions from iTunes and iTunes Match, and then have iTunes Match work its magic to put the AAC (m4a) versions in iCloud.
    As I said, this strategy has largely worked, except I have noticed at least one song I'd re-recorded to AAC version that went silent half way through after I downloaded it to my iPhone from iCloud.
    I do wish Apple would just 'fess up about how to get the best out of iTunes Match, or, just fix it so it works properly.
    I live in hope, but ain't going to hold my breath anymore.
    Good Luck

  • Itunes only syncs a few songs at a time

    I just updated to the latest version of itunes on my windows xp machine. It used to update my ipod without any problems, but I haven't synced in several months. Now, when I plug my ipod in and open itunes, it starts syncing but then stops at some arbitrary number of songs (fewer than 100). This is a big problem since I have thousands of songs to sync onto my ipod (I reset it, so it's empty).
    What's going on? I went through the preferences with a fine tooth comb and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
    Thanks.

    Ideally, I'd like to sync to my gmail account. It syncs a few contacts without a problem, but that's about 15 out of around 200. I'm not sure why it won't sync the rest properly

  • Itunes only syncs a few songs with Apple TV and then stalls

  • Just got a Mac Book, how do I transfer my iTunes library from my PC to my

    new MacBook. I thought I could just hook my iPod up to the MacBook and it would transfer all of my songs into the library, but it said I couldn't do that, that it would reset my iPod to the library that was on the MacBook which I think means it would have erased all of my songs on my iPod.

  • Ipod will only sync a few songs, takes way too long, music not on ipod.

    (first off I have a 6gb mini. I use a usb 2.0 and Im seeing if I fare bettter with the older software. so far no luck.)
    I've strugglig with this damned thing all night, first I had the "folder !" then I had the "blinking apple", now I have that all worked out its time to put music back on right?(Ive updated and restored god knows how many times) WRONG! Like a kick to the kidneys, the ipod updates something like 8 or 9 songs then tells me the update is finished. after wasting my sweet time, like 20 minutes for 8-9 songs, those dont even stay on the ipod. what the hells wrong?

    Make sure you don't have the Manually manage music and videos box check on the Summary tab

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    Your question doesn't make much sense in English. To have no mail in your in box, you need to delete what you have.

  • ITunes music library only syncs a few albums

    I got a 16GB 3GS today and have just updated iTunes to v9.2 as required. The iPhone has also been updated to OS4. However, when I try to sync 'Entire music library' (which should be 227 albums), iTunes will only sync 313 songs. Have tried manual sync as well as auto, un-syncing and re-syncing, but it always syncs the same 313 songs (which appear to be a random selection from my library). Anyone have any ideas - it's driving me mad!

    Same issue here, only iTunes is only syncing 32 random songs (several I've never even listened to... they just happen to be on the CDs) out of 2827 possible songs. Tried manual, tried rebooting the phone and laptop, tried entire library (which won't fit but it still sticks the same 32 ***** songs in there)... nothin' doin'!

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • HT1296 My husband and I each just got iPhones.  We also just got an iPad.  We've each created our individual Apple id's.  We don't want to share contact between our iPhones, but would like to combine contacts on the iPad.  I'm looking for suggestions.

    My husband and I each just got iPhone 4S.  We also purchased the New iPad. 
    We've set up individual iCloud and iTunes accounts. 
    We each have contacts that we don't want to share between our iPhones, but would like to share on the iPad.
    I'm seeking help as to how to sync these accounts properly to obtain this goal.

    If you intend to "share" the iPad, that's not gonna work if you both have separate Apple ID's & iTunes accounts. Like iPhone, iPad is not presently designed to be shared like a computer. Confirm if this is your intent.

    There is no 'earlier' version that supports XP. iCloud launched with Vista/7 support only.
