My iTunes music won't syn with my iTouch

I was trying to add music to my iTunes using sync but it seems that the music I'm trying to add does not upload in my iTouch. I can find it in the "On this iPod" but it is inactive...what should I do? This is the first time I've added new music in my iTouch after I upgraded to OS 5.1...Do I need to revert back to my old OS version since my iTouch is a little bit old?...Thanks.

You can't downgrade the iOS and that has nothing to do with your problem
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?          
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

  • ITunes music won't play with burned QT movie on CD

    I made a slide show movie on my Powerbook using Quicktime Pro and purchased a song (purchased just for this use) on the iTunes store to add to the movie. Then burned the QT movie to a CD and gave it to friends to commemorate a party that they gave. But the music wouldn't play. A window came up on their PC computer asking them to go to the iTunes store for verification or something like that.
    Then I made another movie on my Powerbook using Quicktime Pro and added music to that one that was already on my computer. It wasn't music that I'd bought on iTunes. It was music I had imported to iTunes from a CD that I had purchased. I burned that movie and music to a CD and then tried to play it on a 20" iMac. The music wouldn't play. I didn't have that music installed on that computer but I wouldn't have thought that would be necessary. It should have been burned to the CD.
    This is puzzling. I have done this same procedure in the past. I may have done an upgrade to the OS since making movies previously. What changed? How can I get music to play with movies on CDs that are played on other computers than my Powerbook?

    Hi!
    The sizes and everything of your music files are normal right? Between 2 and 10 MB or so?
    Edit: Copying one of the songs from your laptop back to your desktop works fine on the desktop? That would rule out the following...
    This is getting a little bit desperate, but it might help us figure out what the heck is going on with your songs!
    Can you install Notepad++ and try to open a malfunctioning song file in it?
    Maximize the window and maybe hold Ctrl and scroll down once or twice to bring the font size down. Then take a screenshot of what you see in Notepad++'s window and share that here.

    Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, even though they have their own IDs for the iTunes Store, if everyone uses the same ID for home sharing, you can share the content.

  • IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

    I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

    What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
    Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
    Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

  • Itunes music won't import into imovie?

    I've never had any trouble bringing ITunes music into IMovie, but since this new upgrade in the past few weeks, now when I go to put an itune at the playhead, it tells me the computer isn't authorized for this song (any song that I've purchased from itunes - I tried many) and to authorize it. I go thru the procedure to authorize the computer and it says I did, and then I go to move the song to imovie and it says once again, it isn't authorized....and I do it again, and it says it's authorized, and then I got to imovie and it says it isn't. ad infinitum. Apple techs were helping me and then they decided that I should call Apple Care and there would be a charge....really irritated me. I would assume it's some bug in Imovie since Itunes recognizes the songs as authorized. and something in the new version that they need to fix. Anyone else with this problem???

    I had a very similar issue with one specific track in my latest iMovie project, and only on one Mac (the project was moved between 3 systems, all authorized to play my iTunes-purchased music.
    The system would tell me that the audio track couldn't be played because the system wasn't authorized, and ask me if I wanted to authorize it. I'd click 'yes', iTunes would open, I'd confirm I wanted to authorize the system, and either the track would play, but then after iMovie was next launched report the track wouldn't play and go round the same circle, or it would 'play' but give no sound.
    It's not an issue with iMovie as far as I can tell because the music played on that system perfectly before I updated to iTunes 7. It's not an authorization issue because iTunes plays the tune perfectly well without any error. I suspect it's an issue with the music - perhaps something in the migration from iTunes 6 to 7 when the library is being 'converted' is causing it.
    Sorry, that didn't help resolve the problem, but at least it may help to know you're not alone in experiencing iMovie/iTunes/purchased music issues!

  • Music won'y sync with IPhone 5

    My music will not sync with the Iphone 5.  It appear it skips right over the sync for the music.  Tried everything

    It turns out this problem is occurring because I bought songs from iTunes radio, the songs I downloaded think they are internet-only tracks and refuse to sync with iTunes. Probably just a bug, but it's irritating because I paid money for those songs and now it's questionable if I even own them..

  • My itunes music won't transfer from iMovie to quicktime

    I really need help. My iMovie works perfectly but I need help uploading my video to quicktime. I can do that but as it is compressing it says my iTunes music is not authorized. It asks to authorize it and i do about 4 times and it finishes. Then i access it on quicktime none of the music works. I've been trying to compress the video in different ways and it still says my iTunes music does not work. Please help me figure out my problem.

    I am also having difficulty with this same thing. It says that my iTunes music is not authorized no matter if I use my own imported CDs in the project or songs I have purchased from the iTunes store. I have to keep getting the same songs "authorized" throughout the time I am working on my project. Sorry to say, I have not figured out an answer as of yet. GOOD LUCK! To the Genius Bar tomorrow!!!

  • ITunes library won't sync with iPhone 5s

    My problem is on an iPhone 5S 16GB running iOS 8.0.2...
    Recently I had to remove my music from my iPhone in order to create space to apply the iOS 8 update. When I went to add the music back to my phone, there are songs in iTunes that won't sync. All of the songs I am trying to add back were on the phone before the iOS 8 update was installed. Up to this point I have not had any problems adding or deleting music from the phone / library.
    FYI, I am only using genuine Apple cords to connect to my computer, so generic cables are not an issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    Same issue here, but on an iPhone 4.
    Tried multiple combinations of unchecking playlist, reboot mac, reboot phone ... nothing worked.
    Re-initialized the phone and bam .. music is synching.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • My itunes music won't dowload anymore.  I used to be able to drag what was purchased from my itunes to my desktop, other devices, etc.  What's happened and how do I fix it?

    I used to have an ipod, but it died, and I thought the music died with it.  Then I discovered that I could still use the music I purchased on my new player (a walkman this time) by dragging the itunes files to my desktop, then loading them into windows mediea player (then into my sony).  Now, any of the music I didn't immediately transfer to my new listening device (or even to my desktop) is no longer available.  The message says the "codex" is not the right one, etc.  I bought this music and should be able to play it on any device I have.  I've looked online and sources seem to be indicating that I need pay extra to be able to download these now - that's totally unacceptable.  I won't be purchasing music from Itunes ever again if that is the case, and I've lost the music I've already paid for.  Hopefully someone has an answer for me!
