Just upgraded to the 4S, itunes won't play some songs on my phone?

I just bought the 4S and syned my phone w my macbook and did icloud back up. All my songs are on my phone but some will not play now? Why??

I may have figured it out. The library folder was right but the associations were not. I went to file and add to library and pointed that back to my library on my external and all the associations are being rebuilt. I hope this works. The files are being added to iTunes as I type.
Just an FYI if someone else runs into this issue.

    Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

  • Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone

    Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone.  I need to delete a playlist to make room for a new one, but Delete does not even show up as an option (nor does the delete key on my keyboard delete anything.

    Could you possibly be more vague?
    If you want help you have to provide details, not just "I can't synch my phone". Why can't you synch?  What error messages do you get?  Give us something.

  • I had a hard drive crash so replaced it and now iTunes does not recognize the computer as authorized to play some songs in my playlist.  help

    I had a hard drive crash, replaced the hard drive and now iTunes does not recognize or authorize my iMac to play some songs.  help

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

  • I just upgraded to the new iTunes 12.0.1, and I can't sync it to my Airport Express. I noticed the Airply icon is just the volume control. Is anyone having this problem?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite and got the new iTunes as well. However, the new iTunes 12.0.1 doesn't offer me the option to connect to my Airport Express. The Airplay icon on the interface is just the volume control. Does anyone know how to connect?

    Sure...

  • I just upgraded to the latest itunes -cant make AIFF's

    Hi, evidently, I  mistakenly upgraded to the latest version of itunes.  On version 10, I had "convert to AIFF' under the "Advanced" drop down menu.  That doesn't seem to be available on the new itunes.  Is there something I'm missing?  Did they discontinue that feature?  If so, how do I revert to the itunes 10?  Also, if they are going to drop features in the future, how can I know NOT to download the latest software versions (short of reading all that mumbo jumbo?)

    Thanks Jim, but when I selected "Preferences" under the I-Tunes tab, , then under "general",then "import settings", it says, "import using:"  WAV encoder, MP3 Encoder, Apple lossless encoder etc, and AIFF encoder
    The box below that, "Setting", is set to automatic.
    I click OK.
    But I-tunes still does not give me an "advanced" tab along the top of the page.  On i-tunes 10, the top bar says I-Tunes, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Advanced, Window and Help.  But I-Tunes  11.01 has all of those choices EXCEPT "advanced".

    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so arearticularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

  • Itunes won't play some of my .mp3 files or add them to its library

    I recently have had some strange issues with Itunes. On MP# files I purchased elsewhere, I would add the folder for the new artist to my library, and then voila I would have them in my Itunes library. Here lately, it would play some of the files but not all of them from a few of the artists, but not others. When I click on the song nothing happens; there's just a little gray apple up there and when you play the song in front of it and advance to the next song, it skips the one it would not play entirely. This is happening on 2 or 3 artists randomly; I know the songs used to play on there but now they won't. So, now I have uninstalled Itunes, eliminated all its directories, and reinstalled Itunes again and made my new library. Now Itunes will not even put those songs in my library so I can't even see them. In fact, for my Kings of Leon songs, it now won't add any of them to my library when before it would only add a couple after I had removed them and tried re-adding them. What is going on here? Any advice is much appreciated!!

    Those are the usual symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. It can usually be resolved by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator, and then adding them to your iTunes library.

  • Won't play some songs on ipod but will in itunes

    This is concerning an ipod w/color (4th generation I guess)............
    All of a sudden, some of the songs won't play on the iPod but they will play when I connect the iPod to itunes and the song list comes up. When I try to play the same song just on the ipod itself it skips down to the next song.
    Any ideas?

    i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

  • ITunes won't play some CD's I upload

    I have an old 40GB iPod- I think it is the 4th generation (right before iPods with color screens came out). Every once in a while, I upload a CD that won't play in iTunes, and I don't know why. I have deleted the CD's from iTunes and uploaded them again, and they still won't play. I have updated my version of iTunes and done the whole process again, and it still won't work.
    I was uploading my Dropkick Murphys CD's, and found 4 of the CD's that won't work:
    Do or Die
    Live on St. Patrick's Day
    Tessie (EP)
    Singles Collection Volume 2
    All of these are uploaded from original, store-bought CD's straight to iTunes. I have not synced the iPod to my iTunes library lately, because my old computer died and I don't want to lose the several thousand songs that are on my iPod. (Why won't iPod let you download from your iPod to a new computer? Aaarrrrgh!)
    When I click on the first song on that CD in my iTunes library, the little "speaker" icon next to the track just seems to fall down the list of songs. Nothing plays, and it only takes about a second for the speaker icon to fall from one tune to the next. When it reaches the next CD, it starts playing normally again.
    I've also noticed that it shows "0:00:00" for the time remaining AND the time elapsed when iTunes tries to play the songs I'm having trouble with. The track length shows up as some ridiculous number, like "789:57:13."
    How can I fix this so that I can enjoy all of my music?

    I'm not completely sure HOW it happened, but I managed to get 90% of my songs transferred from my iPod to my computer, iTunes updated, and now ALL of that music is on my iPod again.
    Floola worked well, but it would be nice if their website had some better instructions. After getting music transferred from my iPod to Floola, I copied everything in Floola to a new folder on my computer and closed Floola. Next, I opened iTunes and the folder I had copied the music to. I minimized them so that both cold be seen on the screen at the same time.
    When I started moving music from the folder to iTunes in small batches (about 50), I could more easily identify which songs were causing the error that said some titles were too long. When I encountered that error, I moved a smaller portion of that batch of songs until I found the exact problem. I put the "problem" songs into another folder to deal with later. (It turns out that those songs were all limited to 3 or 4 albums, which I will re-load manually from the CD.)
    Once I was done copying all of the songs from the folder to iTunes, and the problem songs had been moved away to a new folder, I thought I was done. I shut down everything, and restarted my computer. I opened iTunes and the music folder again, and this time selected everything in the music folder (not just batches of 50). I dragged the entire list (5000 songs) to iTunes AGAIN, and my music library grew once more. I'm not sure why this happened since all of the music had been moved once before, but I'm glad I did it. I gained another 500 songs!
    After the last copy session from the folder to iTunes, I shut everything down once again. I started iTunes, sorted a few playlists, and plugged in my iPod. It updated perfectly.
    *+THANKS TO EVERYONE HERE WHO HELPED! I would still be stuck without all of your expertise and advice!+*

  • ITunes won't play one song after another automatically.

    I have an iMac . iTunes has always played one selection after another automatically, and I am not talking about shuffle. I downloaded an audio book (Mp3 files) which loaded into music, but I have to choose each segment manually, it won't play one segment sequentially automatically.

    Are the selections un-checked?  Items that are not checked will not automatically play.  If they are checked, go into Get Info and see if you have the "Skip when shuffling" option set -- if it is, and if you happen to have Shuffle turned on, they won't play.

  • ITunes won't sync some songs?

    I got them from a youtube-mp3 site, (only because they're songs that never got popular enough to be on iTunes and stuff, so youtube-mp3 sites are the only way) but usually it works. I have youtube songs on my iPod and they work fine. The thing is, the last three songs I put in my iTunes library refuse to sync to my iPod. I have tried everything I could think of. I am not out of space, and my laptop is authorized. I have tried it multiple times and made sure all my software is updated. I only have two computers authorized including the one I'm using. I sync my iPod, and it says 'Syncing'. After that, it puts songs that I bought on my iPod onto my iTunes, but not those specific three songs to my iPod. It was two songs, but I added another one and it won't sync. Yes, all of them are checked, and I don't even have the option where it only copies checked songs and movies to my iPod anyways. I honestly have no idea what to do and I am starting to get very frustrated. If anyone knows how to fix this, please.

    +It will try for about 3-5 minutes, then it give me a message about it not being able to read the disk or something to that nature. I even tried this for my iPod Shuffle and the samething occurred.+
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you checked through the following document?
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

  • Mystery of why itunes won't play certain songs - quicktime plays them fine

    symptoms:
    most of my songs play normally.
    the songs that don't play do show up normally in itunes playlist. when i try to play them, however, itunes skips over them immediately and moves on to the next file in the playlist.
    this is not a standard "file not found"-type of error. no error message appears. the songs do NOT get a little grey exclamation on them afterwards.
    after being skipped, the last played date and play count of the song file is updated in my library as though itunes thinks it played the song normally.
    if right-click on the song in itunes and say "show sound file", the file is visible in the finder. if i view a preview in the finder, i CAN PLAY THE FILE FROM THE FINDER PREVIEW window, which makes this whole situation very odd.
    i can also open the files and play them in quicktime player.app. they play fine.
    the songs in question seem to be mostly old (~5 yrs) files that were encoded in a very old version of itunes (before it was called itunes) called soundjam. still i am pretty sure they are valid mp3 files. i'm quite sure that i have played them with itunes in the past, though i am not sure how long it has been since i last played them - perhaps a few years.
    somehow it appears that the standard quicktime player for mp3 files is perfectly happy with this files, yet there is something about them that itunes does not like.
    the files have relatively low bitrates (they are digitized versions of old cassette tapes). at least some of them (perhaps all) show in itunes as being encoded with SoundJam 2.6.2, and having variable bit rate.
    i am using the latest version of itunes on mac os 10.4.6.
    any suggestions?

    so i think you understand that i was upset to find out that they had become unplayable/unconvertable in itunes.
    Yes, I do understand. I have a few recordings of family members who died a few decades ago. They're still on tape and I want to digitize them before the magnetic particles "all point to the magnetic poles again".
    I'm still in doubt in which format to store them however.
    I digitized most of my old vinyl to AIFF and then converted them to Apple Lossless to save HD space.
    The costs of large capacity disks have decreased over the years, so I'm thinking to leave the digitized recordings in AIFF format.
    This format looks to last for at least a few decades (I hope).
    I remember when old data on some type of punchcards (is this correct English?) had to be converted to go in the computer age.
    The machines to read them already had been demolished, so they had to build a new one :/

  • My ipod 5th Gen won't play some songs

    5th gen. nano won't play songs that play perfectly fine in itunes library, help?
    i have a new 5th generation nano and the most recent version of itunes. i just downloaded a bunch of songs that play fine in my itunes library but when i try to listen to them on my ipod, it immediately skips to another song. only a few of the songs that i synched actually play. i have tried deleting them from my ipod and my itunes library and then adding them back to the library and resynching but i am still having this problem. can anyone tell me what is wrong and what i can do to fix this? thanks for the help.

    Check what format they're in and try converting them to AAC (you can do this by right clicking the song that isn't working & selecting create AAC version). I just started having this problem with MP3s that were playing just fine a couple of hours ago, so i converted them to AAC and now they work just fine. Hope this helps you.
