  • ITunes music library only syncs a few albums

    I got a 16GB 3GS today and have just updated iTunes to v9.2 as required. The iPhone has also been updated to OS4. However, when I try to sync 'Entire music library' (which should be 227 albums), iTunes will only sync 313 songs. Have tried manual sync as well as auto, un-syncing and re-syncing, but it always syncs the same 313 songs (which appear to be a random selection from my library). Anyone have any ideas - it's driving me mad!

    Same issue here, only iTunes is only syncing 32 random songs (several I've never even listened to... they just happen to be on the CDs) out of 2827 possible songs. Tried manual, tried rebooting the phone and laptop, tried entire library (which won't fit but it still sticks the same 32 ***** songs in there)... nothin' doin'!

  • Itunes music library wont appear on new computer

    Hello
    I am sure that in the past when I have authorised a computer that all of the music I have had in my library has appeared. Yesterday my computer got broken beyond repair so I have had to go out and buy a new one. I have downloaded ITunes and signed in and authorsied the new computer but for some reason the only songs that are appearing in my library are 4 songs which I have purchased. All the other songs that I have previously put on there from cds are no longer showing. Why is this as I never had this problem when I purchased the last computer and did the exact thing I am trying to do now. If anyone can help that would be great and sorry if this is in the wrong place, have never used this site before. Thank you.

    Authorizing a computer for your Apple ID only authorizes it to play media purchased with the Apple ID.  In addition, you can associate up to 5 computers with your ID to download previous purchases.  (Associating a computer happens when you download previous purchases, enable automatic downloads, or sign into iTunes Match.)
    However, iCloud only has music and other media purchased from the iTunes store.  Your personal music from your CDs is only stored in the iTunes library on your computer unless you subscribe to iTunes Match.  If you do, your library (up to 25,000 songs) is then availble through iCloud.
    If you changed computers in the past, the only way you would have been able to access your other music would be if you had copied the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one, or re-imported your CDs.
    If the hard drive in your old computer still functions, you could put it in a usb inclosure and copy the entire iTunes folder to your new computer as explained here under "External Drive" starting at "Part 2": http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Syncing itunes music library with my ipod nano

    I set up my new ipod this weekend. All music in my library synced fine. However, I added new songs to one of my play lists, when I went to sync to get the new tunes on my ipod, I chose that playlist. It deleted all other music and only loaded that playlist.
    Also, I went to clean out my itunes music library and when I hit delete, it said that the next time I synced my nano, it would remove all songs not in music library
    Two questions...
    1. Do I have to check all playlists every time I upload new songs
    2. I don't want to keep all the songs I already have in my ipod on my computer. Do I have to keep all songs in my music library in order to avoid songs being deleted when I sync with my ipod or is there a way to only add new songs

    Hi Ricehouse;
    You have posted your questions on iTune and iPods in the forum for OS 9. I would suggest that you report either over in the iTune or iPod forums for Windows. There will be more people there that can help you.

  • Syncing itunes music library to iphone 4s

    I have recently upgraded from an iphone 3gs to an Iphone 4s.  I have successfully transferred all my apps, data etc to the new phone but my itunes music library will not sync.  The songs are showing in my music, but 90% of them are greyed out and some tracks are duplicated!.  I have tried removing itunes from my pc (I have windows xp by the way!) and re-installing it.  this has not worked.  I have tried 'downloads' from itunes from my phone and this has frozen on the first track saying download error.  I have phoned Apple support where i spent over 2 hours (on 2 occassions) trying to sort the issue out and it still doesn't work.  Please help I am getting very frustrated and don't know what to do next, surely its not meant to be this difficult to listen to a song!!!  Thankyou

    If you check the manually manage music box, tehn you could drag and drop.

    I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
    iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
    Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

  • I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked.

    I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked. So basically it's syncing all of the songs when I just want the checked ones on. This is very frustrating.

    When your device is connected, check the tabs at the top ("Summary" "Apps" "Music," etc. Under the Music one, check to see if "Sync Music>entire music library" is checked. If it is, that may be why all the songs are syncing.

  • I can't get my iPad to sync my iTunes music library

    My iPad will not sync with my itunes music library.  Proper boxes checked but it only downloads 120 of 1200 songs and I get the message that songs "can not be found."  Anyone know how to resolve this?

    Hi,
    Try disabling anti virus software and turning off the Firewall on your PC, restart the iPad and try syncing.

  • Syncing up existing PC music compilations to itunes music library

    Sorry, I mis-stated what I wanted to ask in my first posting. It sounded confusing after I read it. I have corrected it below.
    I just bought my I-pod and I wanted to put my current compilations from my music library on to Itunes. Unfortunately, when I uploaded my music library from my computer, Itunes separated all my songs from my already created compilations or playlists. My question is this:
    Do I now need to go through my Itunes library and individually drag and drop the songs I want to a new playlist in order to re-create my original compilations on Itunes OR is there a way for Itunes to grab my original compliations and upload them to my Itunes library just as they appeared and functioned from my computer music library?
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you,
    Evan

    Thanks for the response. I set up the compilations into folders in my music library so i could burn these favorites onto a cd when I wanted. Other folders were set up of cd's I copied from original cd's to my computer. For instance, if I were to look for an original album, I couldn't find it, but I would find all the songs individually listed through out my itunes library.
    Let's say I created a folder called "Hard Rock" in my PC music library, and in that folder I had 5 separate compilations of my favorite hard rock songs with separate names (titles I made up for each compilation). At any time I could burn those compilations to their own CD's with no problem via the media player. My question now is, can those same (existing) compilations or folders be recognized by itunes as a favorite group of songs or do I have to individually re-create them again in the itunes music library as a new playlist?
    As it stands now, my whole pc music library is in the itunes library, but now organized as it appears in my PC library. Does this make sense? I guess I am looking to make my itunes library appear almost identical to my PC library. I am not 100% computer savvy, so I am just trying to figure all of this ipod stuff out.
    One other question and this is coming from a rookie on all this stuff...what does clicking and un-clicking the boxes to the left of the songs do??
    Thanks for all your help!

  • I think I've completely misunderstood how the Touch functions. I was under the impression that my iTunes music library, regardless of size and where acquired would be automatically synced to the Cloud for free? I s this not so?TIA

    Have I misunderstood how the Touch works? I thought that I could transfer my completre iTunes music library, regardless of size and how acquired, to the Cloud at no charge. True?

    What about it?
    It is not part of this service.
    You can pay for itunes match which will allow you store some non-itunes purchased music.

  • I deleted some files from my iTunes music library, how do I get them back?

    Hi there, I hope you can help.
    I have had an 80Gb iPod for a while now, but it got full, so I was deleting stuff that I didn't listen to very often from my iTunes library as I added new music. However, I kept all the music in my iTunes Music folder.
    I have now purchased a 120Gb iPod, but obviously some of my music is only in the iTunes Music folder, but NOT actually in my music library within iTunes. Is there a way to sync the entire library with the new iPod (ie. including all the albums that I deleted from my iTunes library to accommodate new ones), or will I have to manually check my entire iTunes music library against my iTunes Music folder?
    In essence, what I want to do is the opposite of consolidating my iTunes music library into my iTunes Music folder - to get all the music in my iTunes Music folder back into the library, without duplicating the stuff that's on there already. I hope that's clear...?
    Best regards,
    Matt.

    Try iTunes Folder Watch for rereading the content you deleted, assuming you only removed it from the library, not the media folder. If you deleted the tracks then restore those that remain from the recycle bin first.
    When you are finished you should have a new playlist with all the tracks that iTFW found. Rename this Exclude and then create a smart playlist called, say, iPod Music with the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude. This is the playlist you sync with your device, and any time it grows too large just find some more stuff to throw into Exclude.

  • Two iPhone, One iTunes Music Library?

    Hi there! New here so thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Both my husband and I have iPhone 3Gs. We do not want to sync everything since we both have different apps as well as different items in contacts, calendars, notes, etc.
    All I'd like to do is share our music library by syncing to only one iTunes account. Currently, we use home share, but it's difficult to remember exactly which songs I added to my library so that he can drag them to his phone, then sync.
    Is there any way to accomplish syncing JUST MY SONGS/VIDEOS to his iPHONE by connecting his iPhone to MY to my computer?
    I'm looking for a way that he could still sync to HIS computer for his apps, calendar, contact, notes information to be stored safely. I'm just looking for an easy way to get our music/videos to both phones without using homeshare.
    We do not have MobileMe as we were very unhappy with it and canceled it, not that that has anything to do with it, just trying to anticipate any questions.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Yes, this is currently what we do. I'm looking for another option. I upload new songs to my iTunes on almost a daily basis. To keep both computers iTunes libraries identical, I would have to go in and delete all HIS music/videos, then via Homeshare, drag all mine over to his. I don't want to have to do this on a daily basis as it's very time consuming.
    I'm looking for a way to attach his iPhone to my computer via USB and transfer my SONGS and MOVIES ONLY to his computer. Afterwards, he will need to sync his iPhone to his own computer for his Apps, contacts, calendars, etc.
    I'm just not sure if this is even possible.
