IPhone will not sync any music not purchased in iTunes.

I have had an iPhone/iPod touch for 6 years, and have never had a problem like this. It's really irritating.
A couple of weeks ago, for some reason, iTunes stopped syncing music to my phone. It wouldn't add anything else. After a couple of tries, it deleted ALL of my music from my phone that had not been purchased in iTunes. It shows up on my phone, but won't let me play it. I've had an iPhone 4S for nearly two years, and I am really frustrated with this. Has anyone had a similar problem, or might know what's going on? I was thinking I should try to erase everything from my phone and start again, but I don't know if that will solve my issue.
I am running the latest software on everything.

Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music

Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music to iPad 2 mini or iPhone 3GS after upgrade. I have tried a full restore and hard resets on the iPhone. I have tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking the boxed related to transfers and automatic syncing.
I hit the sync button and only for a brief second does it appear to attempt to sync and then nothing further happens. It seems to abort with no error message. Any assistance would be appreciated or thumbs up from those with similar problems after a recent upgrade.
I am using OS 10.6.8.
Thank you!

i'm in the same boat. setting up my iPhone 6 as a new device (as i've done numerous of times with my other iDevices). i've had zero luck on transferring my library and playlist over to my new iPhone 6. I do nothing different than what i've done before. I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. It goes through the steps pretty quick and the storage capacity at the bottom shrinks a few GB's for my playlist i'm adding, then it reverts back to what it's currently at and does nothing, no errors.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.

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.

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

Iphone will not sync all music to computer.

I have the newest version of iTunes and my iphone4 is upto date. Now my "Purchased music" from itunes snced with a little bit of messing with but all my"un-purchased" music will not export to itunes. When I click,"on this phone" the "un-purchased" songs are on there, but it will not goto my itunes library. When I gotto sync, it is saying it will erase all music files on my phone, which is the opposite of what i want. i want to put the rest of my "unpurchased music" on my itunes on my computer. PLEASE HELP!

The sync for music is a one way sync from ypur computer to iPhone and not the reverse. If you can't move the original music into that iTunes library, and that is the best answer, then you will have to look for a 3rd party app to help you.
I have used Senuti when I had a PC disaster to do what you are trying to do.

My iPhone will not sync my music

Every time I plug my phone into iTunes it will sync everything except my music. It says it is syncing it for about three seconds then it says it is done. Then it didn't actually do anything. Please someone for the love of god help me!

NOT SYNCING ANY PODCASTS...PLEASE HELP!

My iPod is no longer syncing ANY of my podcasts! Initially it was only video podcasts but now it is the audio podcasts as well. This despite the fact that I can see all of the podcasts listed when I open iTunes! PLEASE HELP!

it clearly says on the iPod touch page, in the requirements section that you need osx 10.4.10 or later to use. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=br owse&mco=3587D039&node=home/shopipod/family/ipodtouch
since we are so close to a leopard release, i would wait, as the rumor sites are saying the 26th is the likely ship date. also, you'll be one of the first to have leopard! that sounds nice... Leopard and a Touch... i'm drooling

ITunes v10.6 will not sync any music to my iPhone 4, no error messages

Recently, my iTunes for Windows (64-bit) has stopped syncing music or playlists to my iPhone 4 over USB or wi-fi. Syncing occurs for all other media (tv shows, movies, photos, etc.) but neither scenario of syncing specific playists of songs, playlists themselves, or entire music library will sync to the iPhone. All built-in iTunes diagnostic tests pass, and there are no error messages during the actual sync process.

Sorry to say, wiclee, I did try that solution numerous times to no resolution. However, I do have good news. I was able to solve my own problem. What I had to do was delete the iTunes Library.itl database file. For those not aware,
iTunes Library ("iTunes Library.itl" in Windows) is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created will be lost. The iTunes Library file is only used by iTunes.
So, I closed iTunes, searched for and deleted the database file. Once I restarted iTunes, the database was recreated, and I could properly synchronize again. So, if anyone has the same problem that I did, now you have a solution.

My iphone 4s will not sync any music, it does the apps etc and the contents but not the music that i have selected

Hi im a newbie here and i recently bought an iphone from a friend (wahh i know i should have bought it legitly but i wasnt paying that price sorry),

I have tried:
Restting all setting
Hard Reset

Restore from back
Changing everything imaginable in Setting and nothing has worked
Making a voicenote and i actually got sound and my ringer started to work! YAY right.. WRONG
Cleaning it with nail polish removeer
Brushing it with a brush
Using a paperclip and scraping it
*i did find some fluff but it came out*
After a few futile attempts at trying to play videos and games with sound and getting nothing i have decided its time to put my tail inbetween my legs and hope that someone can help.
Im not sure if was the type of headphones that i used or hat but i need help
PLEASE REPLY I NEED MUSIC
I AM ALSO A YOUTUBER AND FILM OFF MY IPHONE AND I NEED TO HEAR WHAT **** I AM TALKING AT THE END OF A VIDEO
THANK YOU

My iPhone will not play any music not download from iTunes

Not even music ripped from CD's I own. Deleting, re-installing or re-syncing does not help.
When I try to play any song from my library, iTunes fast-forwards at breakneck speed through the songs until it finds one it approves of. (Including the F****** U2 album I neither wanted or downloaded.) I've tried deleting and re-synching, deleting and restoring from back ups in iCloud and from my laptop bot nothing helps.
When I choose 'Get Info' on the tracks that won't play they are described as 'AAC Audio Files', hose that will play are described as 'Purchased AAC Audio Files'.
My wife purchased an iPhone 6 on the same day, she has no such problems with her purchased and ripped tracks.

Well that was a complete waste of time. Thanks for nothing guys.

Iphone will not sync photos/music/podcasts

My iphone has been working perfectly but recently decided to stop syncing all photos/music/podcasts. The only items it syncs are contacts and bookmarks. I have tried deleting preferences for itunes/iphoto and reset the phone in itunes and itself. No change. Yes, I have all the right settings checked in itunes.
One strange behavior is the phone shows up twice in iphoto...
Any help will be appreciated!

Mike,
I have tried a full reset and restore.
I just got off the phone with Apple support this AM and they had not seen this problem before. They had me re-install iTunes and syncing is now working, but I still have the phone showing up twice in iPhoto (which Apple also claims is a new problem). Thanks!
