Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s. I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s. I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes. Here's what happens:
I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR. Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped. Has anybody else encounted this problem??

Hi firmflange,
That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to a computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
If the purchased music is not on your computer or iPod and you are in the USA and have iTunes 10.3 you may be able redownload them via the iCloud Beta by:

If not in the USA you can contact the iTunes people and they MAY allow a redownload.

"Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
Thanks for any info.

Hello marky_marc1979,
Perhaps it would be a good idea to try and reformat the iPod using *Disk Utility*. See this article for instructions on how to do this.

How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

Help! I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
M

I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

IPOD auto. get songs from ITUNES?

My IPOD shuffle seems to automatically start to get any new songs I've added to Itunes...how do I stop this from automatically upating?
Thanks for any help offered,
Chris

Jeff,
That link applies to all iPods EXCEPT the shuffle. The shuffle CANNOT be put into manual mode. Try it yourself, you'll see there's no such option in the shuffle's preferences.
Chris, what you are talking about is a different auto-syncing problem than Jeff's link talks about anyways. I haven't had this problem with my shuffle but maybe because it's always full so there's no room for any songs to be added. But I think the easiest way to prevent the shuffle from "autofiling" with new songs you add to the library, is to create a specific playlist of only the songs you want on the shuffle. Then at the bottom of the shuffle window, chose that playlist instead of "Library" next to "autofill from". (Autofill is only supposed to happen if you press the big autofill button so I'm not sure what's going on in your case.)
Does that help?

How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
Help Please!

The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

How to get songs from itunes to ipod shuffle

I just seem to be having problems finding anything I download in itunes on my ipod shuffle. I am not techo savy at all!

If your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, here's how to use the automatic syncing approach, which is often more convenient than the manual method. You probably need to set up (or update) the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the shuffle in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync your shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your entire iTunes music library fits on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library (and skip to next paragraph). Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, create a selection of songs to sync to the shuffle. For example, if you want to keep it simple, you can create a new regular playlist in iTunes (call it "iPod Songs"). Put all songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist (including those recent downloads). On the Music tab, find and checkmark that one playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, the selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its existing content. Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library, related to the Music tab settings, sync automatically the next time you connect the shuffle, or when you click the Sync button. So, if you have a playlist with your "iPod songs," just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes syncs the same changes to the shuffle at the next opportunity.

CANT GET SONGS FROM ITUNES TO IPOD

Someone please help me!! I got my ipod for Christmas and while at my parents house over Christmas break and used their computer to put all the cds in sight on it.... well now back at school I am trying to use it on my actual computer and itunes will not let me use my ipod unless I erase the current nearly 2000 songs!! I keep getting a message that asks if I would like to erase all the current songs and set this itunes library as my permanent one. I would really hate to do this, is there any way around it? There has to be something, what about people that use their work computers or laptops and then their home ones. They can’t possibly be deleting all their music, or are you?

You need to put your Ipod in manual mode so it won't erase the current songs.
An iPod can only be "associated" with one PC if it is set for automatic update.

Need help getting songs from iTunes to iCloud and to ios devices.

I just added some CDs onto my iTunes account on my MacBook and they won't transfer to my iPhone or iPad. The titles of the songs show up on my IOS devices within the Music app but they are grayed out and won't play. I'm using iCloud and Music Match. Hopefully something simple. Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE - 20 minutes at the Genius Bar and it was resolved. The tech that helped me out had never seen anything like it before but he and another tech starting looking up stuff on one of the iPads that they have which provides them with solutions to all kinds of problems. He tried a few things on my Mac and then kept switching pages on his iPad for solutions. I'm guessing it said "try this and if that doesn't work then go to the next step". Eventually he got it to work so obviously there is a "fix" out there for issues related to iMatch, iCloud, and the Moutain Lion update.
I asked him what all he did to fix it but he said it was too complicated to explain even though it was very simple. Oh well, rest assured that it can be corrected and hopefully someone will be able to post the fix on here so as to save people trips to an Apple Store. One last thing, nothing had to be removed or reloaded in my iTunes account. I hope this helps you out some.

I can't get song from itunes in iMovie

In iMovie I have a 3 minute movie prepared I want to add an itunes song to. When I go to the music & sound effects tab, there is no arrow next to itunes, just the icon. So I am not able to select an iTunes song for my movie. I have all updates installed and have run disk utility repairs/1st aid, and have ilife '11.
Does anyone else know how I could fix this problem? Thanks, Jill

Are you in Italy... Do you have an Italian iTunes Store Account...

When iTunes Match, matches the incorrect song, is there a way of removing that song from iTunes Match and then choosing the correct song?

I have had iTunes Match now for a year. It's great. However the more I listen to my library the more songs I come across dodgy sounding songs, incorrect songs and censored songs. Especially when listening to a Kings of Leon album and the main song is incorrect on in iTunes Match! I've read that there is no cure, but when will Apple be making it correct (all in needs is a "get info" kind of thing). If deleting the albums off iTunes and iTunes Match then re-adding them in to the cloud then I can do that. In the grand scheme of things it's only a handful of songs in 20k - but albums I listen to regularly!

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.
