My iTunes won't sync all of my music to my iPod touch

I know all of the music is on my iTunes, as I am able to play the items on my laptop via iTunes. Yet my iPod refuses to sync the content. I have reset my iPod, checked the sync settings to sync all music, made sure I have the latest version of iTunes. I don't know wether to assume that there is a problem with my laptop or my iPod touch. Please help! My musical life is at stake

  • ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

    iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

    Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.

  • Itunes won't sync any of my music to my Ipod Nano (4th gen)

    I tried to add more music onto my ipod and itunes froze and it didn't work.  After it unfroze I tried to sync it again, nothing happened. I thought maybe if I reset my ipod it would help. NOPE! Now I have no music on my ipod and even if I click on the sync button nothing happens. Itunes recognizes that I have my ipod plugged in but it won't do anything else.  I even tried uninstalling itunes and then re-installing it but nothing happened after that.

    Hey Tipa1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having an issue with iTunes due to permissions. The following article is related to the symptoms you described:

  • ITunes won't sync all my purchased music to my iPhone 4

    The music that was purchased on my iPhone was erased from my phone, but it's still on iTunes. When I try to sync it back to my phone, the playlist "Purchased from my iPhone" is listed is there but none of the music is there. It's not in my library either. I checked the box to sync it but nothing works, and the rest of my music is still on my phone. Please help!

    It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
    hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:

    - Yes. If you sync with another coputer. the contents of the iPod will be replaced with those on the new computer.
    - You can redownload most iTues puchases b:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - If yo want to retain app data like saved games, do the following after all the apps and other things on in the iTunes library:
    ---- Connect the iPod t the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

  • Restored 4th Gen Ipod, now itunes won't sync all my songs, what to do?

    I was having trouble with my ipod, so I restored. Now all the songs on my itunes won't sync down to my pod. It took like 20 songs out of 2000. How do I fix this?

  • My iTunes keeps clearing all of the music of my iPod Touch 4th Generation randomly when I plug it in, then starts syncing it back up. Why?

    So my iPod Touch has been cleared twice now and I'm beginning to become annoyed. I plug it in and iTunes recognizes it, and then goes through the steps of syncing. Once it gets to steps 5 or 6 it gets stuck. It'll just keep spinning or cycling through over and over again. It doesn't freeze up, just gets stuck. Now if I hit cancel it doesn't clear off my iPod and it seems to complete the sync, but if I leave it or if I click the drpdown arrow and see what's being synced into the playlist; Then the iPod clears off all my music and I have to sync all 4550 tracks back onto my iPod.

    and i went through all the steps but i dont have any disk that step 3 asks for i bought it off of a friend and ive tried it on 2 computers alredy and the same message appears... on my other ipod touch 2g it works fine so i dont think its the usb port any ideas?

  • Itunes won't sync all the songs

    My Iphone 4s simply could not sync all songs in my album.  Itunes could make it look like it synced all of them to the phone while in reality only 70% of the songs are playable, the non-playale ones are going to be in grey and you couldn't even click onto them.  When I plugged the phone into my Itunes again, it showed the same thing.  So I tried to sync it, only to find that it would not carry any "grey songs" over.  If you hit sync, it would sync the first 2 songs, then it would AUTOMATICALLY say sync cancelled.  And in the end no songs have been synced at all, my phone is still without the remaining 30% of the songs.
    There are absolutely no songs I could get over that are marked grey.  Any of you have been through this before?  Is there a solution to "reactivate" the grey songs?  They're perfectly playable on my computer, just that I can't get it onto my phone.
    I have had problems with Itunes before and I hope this incident won't add to the hate I have for this software.

    mine is doing the same thing other than Itunes saying it can't read the format. I can't play 90% of my music. I took it to an apple store the other day an they told me only purchased music will work. Not even a music upload from a CD. Which to me is a load of ....because my wife has all the songs on her iphone that are greyed out on mine and they work on hers

  • ITUNES WON'T SYNC ALL SONGS TO IPAD

    When syncing my ipad 2 to itunes on my desktop, not all songs transfer over. I select one play list to sync, and some of the songs move to the ipad though all show up on the desktop/itunes view of my ipad. It appears that the songs that won't sync are ones I've loaded onto itunes from a cd while all of the songs that transfer are purchased. Ive tried reseting the ipad to original settings, turning the computer authorization off and back on and hard resetting the ipad. And both the ipad and itunes are currently updated. And these same songs that won't transfer have transfered fine to my ipod. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • My iTunes won't sync all my songs with my iPod

    I'm using auto sync, just like I always have, and the box is checked to sync all songs with the iPod. If you check the bar at the bottom of the sync page, it *thinks* all 5000+ songs are on the iPod, and there's plenty of room left. But when you play one of the songs on the iPod, it says playing 1 of 800. Some of my songs are unchecked to not sync, but we're talking 100 max. So how do I get the missing 4,100 songs to copy??
    The iPod is an iPod touch with iOS 5.1.1; Mac is using OS 10.9.1; iTunes version 11.1.3.

    Have you tried performing a restore on the iPod?

  • ITunes won't sync all photos in album

    I've got an iPhoto album with 280 photos in it. iTunes will only sync 10 of those photos - any ideas or solutions appreciated. iTunes nor iPhoto is displaying any error messages during sync.
    Im trying to sync to an iPad2 with OSX 10.7 through iTunes 10.4.
    Thanks, Paul

    I managed to solve this myself - not sure how exactly, but I did the following -
    deleted 'albumdata.xml' and 'albumdata2.xml' from the iPhoto library
    deleted the iPod photo cache from the iPhoto library
    reopened iPhoto which recreated the albumdata xml files
    synced the iPad to remove all photos
    synced the iPad to add all the selected photo albums
    Weird process but fixed my problems.
