My iphone 4 is not syncing the music from my itunes library.

I tried to restore the iphone and everything else has been backed up, but the music is not syncing.
I have the "automatically sync" option checked, and have unchecked the "manually manage music and videos" option unchecked. (due to prior suggestions.)
Space is not an issue no is the type of files (all MP3.)
I need help. I restored my phone in hopes of fixing the problem and now I have NO music. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes. Is there something I'm missing?

Found the answer. Clicked on my iphone icon > Music > check the box that says sync music.
Blonde moment. The new itunes *****.

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing, but does not grab the music from my current library.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing but doe not pull the music in my library.

Download what applications?

My iPhone 5 will not sync any music from iTunes

I have ios 7.0.3 (the most recent update) and the newest version of itunes, and have never had a problem like this before. I am using the same computer I always do, which is authorized.
Yesterday I attampted to add 100 songs, which were already on my itunes, to my iPhone; my phone responded by not accecpting the new songs and deleting over 2500 songs previously on it. These songs still show up in my music app but will not play, iTunes also says that they are on my phone.I have tried adding these songs back multiple ways, such as: manually dragging them to the right of the screen and onto my phone, using the "on this iphone" option and adding songs, the normal way to sync music via checking off the playlist, and by adding the music by album, but to no avail. Each time I try this the sync begins, showing that I have approximately 4 GB free with the added music, but ends quickly (within 7 syncing steps maximum, not including music syncing) saying that I have around 18 gigs of open space, but the titles of the music still show up as being on my device. My phone still claims that there are 2700 songs on it, but refuses to play a vast majority of them, A few times when I have tried syncing I recieved a message claiming that my phone could not finish the sync.
Whatever is going on, I just want my music back as quickly and easily as possible.
Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

How to I put the music from my itunes library onto my iphone 4s using icloud?

We just got the new iphone 4s and are having trouble put the music on. When we have homesharing on it shows up on the iphone but we can't get it to stay on the phone. As soon as we close itunes it disappears from the phone. Can I use icloud to do it or do I have to plug in my phone to the computer or is it even possible. We did it on our ipad and it seemed to work fine. Do i have to get that imatch?

You can make a playlist in iTunes to and fill it with the music you want on your phone. Then when you sync your phone you can select the playlist to sync. Creating a playlist will allow you to choose the songs you want.
Create a playlist by selecting
1. File
2. New
3. Playlist
4. Name the Playlist
Adding Music to the Playlist
1. Select song
2. Right Click
3. Add to Playlist
4. Select the PlayList you created

I need to get the music from my iTunes library to my iPhone 4, but it won't recognize my phone in iTunes...

When I plug my iPhone 4 into my laptop, a box pops up that says "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
I did so, but after downloading this software, I was told that it needed my MacBook Pro to have Version 10.6.8 or higher to run. My MacBook has Version 10.6.4, and I have no idea what updating it would require. I'd prefer to get my music from iTunes library to my phone without updating. If anyone knows how, please help.
Otherwise, could someone please tell me how to update my MacBook, how much it would cost, etc.?

You'll have to update your OS on your Macbook.
Click on the black Apple logo at the top left of your Mac screen. Then click on Software Update.

HT1386 How do I transfer all the music from an iTunes library on a PC to on another iTunes library on a Mac, with being able to keep both libraries of music?

A year and a half ago I purchased an iPhone 4s and created a substantial library of music in the iTunes account on my PC. Just recently, I purchased a Macbook Pro w/ Retina and am just getting around to syncing the newer iTunes library on my iPhone. However, when I did, iTunes deleted all the songs that I had previously on my first iTunes library.
I still have access to all the other songs on the previous iTunes library, but how can I add both libraries to my iPhone without losing any music?
I've been searching for about three hours on ways to do this and I've come up with nothing.

Why can't I sync my musics from my itunes library?

I just downloaded the newest version of itunes to update my ipod to the version 5.0.1 and I have a whole playlist in my itunes.
when i looked in the music icon of my ipod, there was only one song in the playlist. I clicked on sync many times and there is no result.

Makes sense. Hadn't thought to add artwork to the actual individual files before uploading. For my own present sanity, I just added our logo art manually to each downloaded episode (3 as of today) so at least I have it looking right in my own iTunes library. But in the future, I'll do the imbedding thing so it will work for everyone else. I thought since iTunes has a lag time on searchability and artwork with the original first podcast submission, this was just another thing waiting to resolve on it's own, but now I know it's another tiny step in the pre-upload process. Will definitely remember to add the art moving forward. Thanks!

I keep losing the music from my iTunes library. Help please!!!

For some reason when i shut my iTunes down the next time i open it all of the songs have gone from my library. I can restore them from my itunes music folder but i do not know why this is happening and its really starting to annoy me. Any help please?????

That happens when the itunes database file doesn't get saved properly. By design, if itunes can't find a valid database file, it makes a new blank one.
iTunes Library.itl is the name of the file.
Is this on a Sony Vaio? There is a well-known bug with some bad sony software that erases the itunes database file. There are also problems with some ant-virus/security software packages not letting itunes save that file.

When I try to sync my music from my iTunes library onto my iPod, this message comes up "the iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." I have already read all the troubleshooting options on the apple website. Nothing is working. What now?

I already tried to restore the iPod, and I tried unchecking and checking every option for what I want to sync to my iPod. I restated my computer as well as iTunes, and I feel like I am out of options. I tried doing everything in all of the help articles as well as the steps given in the article written by the tech specialist on the apple website. I feel like I am out of options. my iPod is not even 2 years old, I do not have coverage, and I cannot afford a new iPod of any kind. Please help!!!!

Had this issue only yesterday...
goto itunes and hook up your ipod
click on the ipod in itunes and goto music tab in right hand screen
untick sync music option
apply / sync
go back and re-tick the option
apply / sync
A boring and tedious solution I agree, but it did work for me
HTH
