My iTunes is not syncing all my music to my iphone despite goin throuh the motions and saying its syncing

It starts out normal as if it's syncing properly and then reverts back. Stating its complete however half of my music is not synced and it says I have all the space available

I had similar problem.  Found an answer and it worked fine.  First, connect your 4s to your Mac and iTunes.  Go to device, music and deselect Sync Music at very top.  Then, go to Summary and Sync the 4s.  Note that when finished all your music will be gone off the 4s.  disconnect the iPhone from the computer and do a Hard Shutdown or reboot/reset.  You do this by:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Reconnect to the computer and iTunes.  Go to device, music, and check Sync Music.  Then select Sync on the summary page.  When finished all my songs and playlists were back on the iPhone the way they should be.  Good luck.

  • Hi, All my music files have an exclamation mark on the left and when I tunes asks me to locate a window opens with I Tunes folders but I still cant see my music library . What can i do? Thanks

    Hi, All my music files have an exclamation mark on the left and when I tunes asks me to locate a window opens with I Tunes folders but I still cant see my music library . What can i do? Thanks

    The red exclamation mark indicates that itunes cannot find your files.
    Are the music files still on your harddrive. Look n Finder
    Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    If the files are there then keep the option key pressed and open iTunes. A dialog box will open asking you to choose your library. Select Choose and then navigate to the Music/iTunes Folder and click OK

  • Help, please.. ITunes will not copy all my music to IPod

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano and I'm having some trouble. I somehow accidentally (apparently I'm a moron) restored my iPod so that everything was erased. I have my library backed up on disc, but all my songs are still showing in the ITunes Library. I have 575 songs. When I sync my iPod to ITunes, it gives me an error message saying "Some songs could not be copied because it is not authorized for this computer (100 problems)", something along those lines. After that, it will only copy 340 songs from my ITunes library to my iPod.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can get all my music transferred back to my iPod?

    Have you authorized your computer to the iTunes Store account under which those tracks were purchased? You can either play one of the tracks (or additional tracks if any were purchased through a different iTunes Store account) or use the Authorize command under the Store menu in iTunes.

    Is the music not on your computer?
    You buy one and only one download.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Itunes is not letting me download music onto my iphone. How do I get it to work?

    I have been trying to download music onto my iphone and it does not work! It just doesn't connect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

  • How can I add a new iTunes account without losing all my music on my iPhone?

    Currently, all of my family's purchases are through my wife's iTunes account.  As such, both of our iPhones are synced with iTunes through that account.  I would like to add an account just for me, but I also don't want to lose all of the music we've purchased so far.  Is this possible?

    Thanks for that...

  • I can not get all my music to sync from my phone to the itunes on my laptop. It is only letting me sync the music I purchased from my phone on itunes to my laptop. Any way to be able to get all of it sync'd to my computer for a back up.

    I am trying to sync all my music from my iphone to the itunes on my laptop but it is only allowing me to sync songs i have purchased from itunes on my phone. Is there a way to get all the songs I have on my phone to syn with my lap top? I dont want to loose any of my music but litterally half of my music will not sync to the itunes on my laptop.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • Itune do not sync all my music on my iPhone 4

    I Sync all my music library on my iPhone4 and iPad. iTunes tell me that I have 2195 songs to Sync. On my iPad, all the songs is their.
    But on my iPhone, he only Sync 2046 songs (the size used on my iPad versus my iPhone confirm that I have song missing 0.7 GB missing).
    I still have 4.8 GB Free on my iPhone, this is not a memory problem.
    I have removed all my music on my iPhone, and he is syncing the same amount of music.
    If is their a reason that the iPhone will Sync less song?

    and interestingly: This solution does not work:
    /t5/Music/Ovi-Player-indexing-files-from-folders-it-s-not-allowed-to/m-p/595905/highlight/true#M1346...
    I removed the "my music" folder, but still I have all songs from this folder in OVI Music.
    I want to completely get rid of all indexed music, and only have OVI watch a specific folder...

    itunes will not sync music to my ipod touch or iphone 3g. Passes all diagonostic tests. copies apps but not music. Any Ideas?

    just bought iphone 4 today from verizon and had the same problem. this is my 1st smartphone ever. apps all synced when i plugged it in to my computer except the music. this is what i did and it worked. plugged in phone to computer. then under the devices tab i clicked on the music tab. if you look to the bottom right of the itunes page there will be two tabs you can click on. one says settings and the other one says autofill. i clicked on the autofill and then it just started syncing. that was it. i'm not a tech guy by any means. just kinda of got lucky. i hope this helps you out. good luck!

  • New music in iTunes does not sync to my phone

    iTunes has been working fine and when i tried to sync my phone yesterday everything looked normal iTunes said it was syncing and i saw the loading screen but when i checked my phone it hadn't been updated with the new songs i had just gotten
    anybody know a fix?

    Resetting the Warnings didn't work unless i did it wrong, is any thing visual supposed to happen after you click it? if not than that didn't work
    the tracks can be played in iTunes
    They weren't purchased from the iTunes Store, 1 is from a CD and 1 is from a youtube to mp3 converter (but all the other songs are like that too so that cant be a problem...)
    my iPhone is plugged into the USB port that its always plugged into and it worked before. I am using a USB extension cord so if those can degrade over time or something that can be it.. how do i tell what kind of USB port i have?
    I also cant even delete music through syncing if thats important at all...
