My iPhone won't find music files I know I have. How do I fix this?

Yesterday, I was listening to some playlists I have on my phone and mac. However, today, many of the songs I know I have on my computer and phone will not play. My iPhone tells me that the files cannot be found. The files are on my mac, and I've synched my phone multiple times and restored it from a back-up. How do I fix this?

HI,
A Googlemail name can be used in iChat but not to link to AIM buddies or as a valid AIM name just because it is also used for an Apple ID as well.
You will have to enter it in the Accounts section of the Preferences.
The Googlemail ID need you to have Enabled the Talk option on your Goolge account Settings.

  • My iPod won't sync music due to a disk error, how do I fix this?

    I just got a new iPod 4G and it won't sync any of my music or apps.  I really don't need anything else on  my iPod so I have everything else unchecked.  I have tried a system restore and to reset all settings but nothing works.  I also have tried deleting the Photo cache folder and that didn't help either.  I am going on a trip in less then a week and I would really like my iPod to be working for that trip.  Please help!!  Thank you in advance.

    I just got off the phone with senior level support at apple. There are two things she had me do to fix this problem.
    1. Uninstall itunes and then re-install version 10.7 from the apple website here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    2. Then go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl837, this will take you to the Quick-time version 7.7.3 for Windows page, download & install this version. You will need to reboot after this install and once you have finished you should have no problems opening Itunes.

  • My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
    How can I correct this?

    I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

    Hi fishonfoot,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to use this article as a guide to determine if the songs are on your computer:

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

  • My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

    My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

    Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

  • My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
    That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11 today. I am not able to sync music to my iPad anymore. How do I fix this?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11. But I can't sync music anymore onto my devices. How can I fix this? I need help!

    I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC.  I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc.  When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order.   If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order.  If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question.  They are also numbered on my Playlists.  I have my favorites in two different playlists.  One of them was minus a song.  I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order.  I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
    So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes.  But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
    Thanks so much for your help.  I wish they would just leave things alone.  I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but???? 
    Again thanks. 
    Marie
