My 4s is not syncing all songs I've bought on iTunes

My phone is only syncing some songs/albums I've purchased. How do I play all songs I've purchased? I'm 99% sure I setup home sharing. HELP and thank you!

Thank you! I've always just assumed you couldn't play iTunes content on Spotify, but never occurred to me to try installing Quicktime! Did the trick.

  • Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.

    iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?

    I am having this issue also.  Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists.  The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist.  I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick".  I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also.  Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
    I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
    I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success.  How do we escalate this to Apple?  Do they review these posts?

  • So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.

  • Syncing but not syncing all songs

    So i'm trying to sync music to my ipod and i should have a bit more then three songs :/ http://prntscr.com/6vfff9 Never happened before and i don't know how to fix.

    Where are you looking for the song...under what menu? If it doesn't have an album name on the ID tag (under Get Info), it won't show up under Albums. If it has an album artist listed instead of an artist, I'm not sure if it will show under artist. If it's not showing under Songs, is the name of the song entered correctly under Get Info.
    And...do you have your syncing preferences set to Sync All?

  • Ipod Shuffle - 2 Gen, 1 GB - not sync all songs and blank autoplay menu

    Hi,
    I have two issues with my ipod shuffle, 2 Gen, 1 GB.
    When I attach it to my computer a blank autoplay menu pops up. Nothing can be selected and I just click cancel and it goes away but it comes up every time I connect. I've tried going into the properties of it in my computer and setting the default action to do nothing but it still comes up. I've also disabled disk use within the settings of it in iTunes but it still happens.
    Second when I try to autofill from a playlist, it shows all the songs ready to be synced but after doing about 11, it stops and says it's completed when it clearly hasn't. If I press sync again it does a few more then same result. It just won't fill the ipod up. I've double checked there's room on there and I have set zero space for disk use so the entire 1 GB is used for music but it still won't do a complete fill in one go.
    Anyone got any ideas? Using latest version of ipod software 1.0.4 and latest version of iTunes 10.1.0.54

    My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen (latest firmware + iTunes) is
    almost only playing purchased .m4p songs. Only very
    few (1-2 out of 200) of .m4a are playing on the
    shuffle.
    The songs are getting transfered properly and when
    the shuffle is connected I can play the
    songs/.m4a-files stored on the shuffle through Real
    Player (The folder structure is accessible through
    the FileExplorer while the upload process is
    running).
    If I only upload not playable .m4a songs the shuffle
    blinks "no music uploaded".
    Looks like a firmware problem of the Shuffle since I
    can't see any pattern which .m4a songs are played and
    which not.
    Can anyone share this experience? Any solution?
    WHAT does iTunes' Get Info "Summary" say about the songs that don't play?

  • IPOD 80GB Classic not playing all songs but they play in ITUNES

    After I synch all the songs are displayed on the IPOD but some will not play. They just skip to another song or album. This does not happen in ITUNES only on the IPOD

    *Skipping songs*
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I've have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. (Grrr - I see the convert file to format feature has disapeared in iTues 9.1 so this might not be so easy if you've upgraded.) Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • Not syncing all songs

    After updating my Ipod 4th gen to IOS6, I cannot transfer all of my music from itunes to the ipod, only about 60% of the songs, have tried syncing several times with not succes, any help?

    Try:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • ITunes does not sync all songs to iPod

    Hi, I have the older iPod with the first color screen, 30gb. Now, for some reason upon syncing (multiple attempts), I'm only able to sync 3921 of 4,185 songs in my library on an external hard drive. All of my songs were imported from my CDs while some were bought at the iTunes store. I'm not sure why 264 songs won't import nor which songs they are.
    Is there a way to figure out why they won't import and which songs are "stuck" in iTunes?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    so i restore my ipod (30gb) to its original settings due to the fact that i had a lock code on there and couldnt remember what it was to unlock volume...so restored it and now all my songs arent syncing on it..

  • ITunes not syncing all songs in library to 5s (iOS 7)

    Ok so after I synced the other day I went to play some music on my phone and noticed that many of the songs had the "downloading" symbol next to them and the song name was greyed out and not clickable. I have tried resyncing my phone, restoring it, reseting it, everything. I noticed in itunes when I select my phone and go to "On This iPhone" that the songs that are unplayable on my phone and are also greyed out. Screenshots are attatched. Help me please please please please

    Hello Dakota,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone.  For an issue like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone.
    If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply,"  then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.
    You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

  • 2 Computers, 1 AID: iTunes Match not syncing all songs

    I have the following computers/devices all using the same Apple ID for iTunes Match:
    -MBP used at home and remotely
    -iMac used at home
    -iMac used at work
    -2 iPhone 5s
    -iPad
    All devices are using iOS 7.2 and 10.8.5, iTunes version 11.1.1.
    The problem I'm having is that when I import music (or, in this specific case, an audiobook file) into iTunes on my MBP from a CD, that file does not show up on my iMac at home. The file's iCloud status is listed as "uploaded," and the file shows up on every iOS device, and on my iMac at work. Just not on my iMac at home. Both the MBP and my home iMac frequently share a home network.
    Thanks for your replies!

    I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this.  I was esclated through several levels. 
    They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
    I still have an open ticket.  But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
    My iOS devices are not working (iPad 3 and iPhone 4) my Apple TV however is working fine.  But not showing any new songs I have added.

  • Itunes is not syncing all songs in playlists to iphone

    i have multiple playlists with 70+ songs in them, however after phone is synced, only between 15-22 songs are in the corresponding playlists on my iphone. just need to find out if anyone is having the same problem since updating to itunes 10.5, and how i would rectify it.

    The reason that (for me) smart playlists were (mostly/completely) empty on my iPod Touch 2nd Gen was that I had specified in the smart playlist criteria that the files were MP3s but then when I synced the iPod I had the songs convert to the 128 kbps AAC, which means they no longer fit the rules.
    Check if you are doing something similar.

  • New computer not syncing all songs

    I recently bought a new computer and when I entered my apple ID information, only a small amount of my itunes library showed up. When I upgraded to the new iphone a few months ago all my music showed up on that without a problem. Any problem solving fixes for the computer I should know about?

    The personal data form your original computer will not just appear on a new computer. You must put it there by copying it from the original compute to the new computer. These Apple KB articles will help you:
