My music is not on my iphone

I have music in my library that is not syncing to my phone through iTunes Match. How do I get it to sync?

First, has the initial scan, match and upload process in iTunes finished? If it has not then all the music will not show up on the iOS devices. Disable iTM on the devices until the initial scan is complete. Also, you should enable the iCloud status column in the iTunes browser. Pull down View >View Option, select "iCloud Status" and close the small window.
Now switch to "song" view in the library and you will be able to see what the status is offal the music. Anything that is not "purchased," "matched" or "uploaded" will not be visible on iOS devices.

My music will not transfer to iPhone 5

Have you tried accessing your purchased content directly from the itunes store app on your phone and downloading?

HT1848 music is not transferred to iphone

I purchased music in the Apple iTunes store and it has been transferred without issue from my mac to the iPad but not to the iPhone 5S. I use iTunes match and the settings of the iphone and the ipad are the same. Any hint is welcome! Thanks!

Hi PeterleD,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like newly purchased songs are not appearing on all of your devices, even though you subscribe to iTunes Match.
You can use the "Some songs appear to be missing from iTunes Match" section of this article as a starting point for troubleshooting this behavior:

Music playback not working correctly iPhone 5S/4S iOS 7

Let's say I'm listening to music on my shiny new iPhone 5S at work(or anywhere). And then I stop the music, unplug my headphones, then proceed to my car. I then connect my iPhone to my car stereo(Kenwood KCD-X993) via USB. The music should start to playback where I left off, but this is not what happens. It goes to the "songs" list, and plays the first song. Always the first song, very annoying. Before I got my iPhone 5S, I had/have an iPhone 4S, which worked perfectly until the iOS 7 update. Both phones do the same thing. I believe there is a bug preventing the memory of the proper playback position of where you leave off.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have any suggestions to possibly prevent this from happening?

I have an older Kenwood head unit but my symptoms are exactly the same with an iPhone 4s running iOS7. So damned annoying. I'm am sick of Apple breaking something every time there's an iOS update. If it's not podcasts it's Smart Playlists. If it's not Smart Playlists it's accessory compatibility. Round and around we go.
The last time there was a serious compatibility issue with Kenwood stereos, around iOS4/5, I seriously considered replacing the head unit with something more modern so I could use Bluetooth. Reading all the iOS7 Bluetooth woes in this forum makes me so glad I didn't do that.

Music will not sync to iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4s has the most recent iOS update. When select my iPhone under devices and run a sync, the sync goes to step 5, but then stops without syncing any music to the phone even though there are songs selected in iTunes. Now there isn't any music on my phone.
I did change my Apple ID, but I've done that before without problems so I'm not sure if that is the cause. I have also authorized my Mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem also but I found out that I had to convert my higher bit songs to 128 kbps AAC. To turn it on, go to Summary and scroll down all the way to Options and check the box on Converting it. Sync your music and it should sync it.

New music will not sync to Iphone

I have added a bunch of new music and reorganized my playlist's on itunes but when I try to sync my iphone 4S it will sync eveything (calnders, address book) but not change or add anything from itunes.
Itunes 11.1.3
IOS 7.0.4

Is the content actually selected to sync?
If it is, try unchecking the sync music option and sync. Once complete, check the sync music option and sync.

IO6 upgrade, now music will not sync to iPhone 4S????

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S to IO6. Since then my music will no longer sync. I have over 5,200 songs and all were on the iPhone before I upgraded. However, once I upgraded to IO6 the music disappeared off the iPhone (it's still in iTunes). Before anyone asks:
- The music is still in the same folder on my hard drive (same as before upgrading to IO6).
- Yes, the box in iTunes is checked which says sync the entire music library.
The ONLY thing that has changed is that my iPhone now has IO6 on it.
Is anyone else having this problem? And if so how did you fix it?

I'm having the same problem!

Music does not copy to iPhone

Over the last few weeks, I have notices that I have to sync my phone 3 or 4 times to get my music synced. It goes through the whole process on itunes (Step 1 of 5, step 2 of 5, etc...) and says that the sync is complete. When I go to my music on my phone, however, there is nothing there. It is quite annoying because I can no longer sync and run out the door when it is done. Rather, I have to sync, then check my phone to see if it worked, and then sync it again and again until it finally syncs. It is real annoying, and I would love to know if there is anything I can do to fix this problem.
THanks

A screen shot of my computer while it is syncing the second time. I went and did the dishes while it "sync'd" the first time. I knew I had to check my phone to see if anything synced. It did not, and iTunes did not tell me that there were any problems with the sync. This led me to believe that it may have been successful. I looked at my phone and lo and behold, the phone did not sync.I took a screen shot on my phone of the "deleted" playlists (desmond Dekker and Dick's Picks) that are still on my phone after the first sync. I also have a screenshot of my iTunes that shows the files already unchecked, yet I am in the process of syncing the second time.
This is real annoying. please fix this problem.

New apple ID, new computer and music will not import from iPhone.

I am trying to sync my iPhone to a new computer and I have authorized it but whenever it starts to sync it starts with apps even though we only want the music to go on the new computer and it keeps going around in circles, please help.

Downloaded music will not sync to iphone

I downloaded an album to my itunes library..it shows up on my computer but will not sync to my phone...I've uploaded the newest version of itunes, deleted and re-added the cd to the library...hit sync several times and this particular album will not move over to my phone...

Hey kristruss!
I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to get this album onto your iOS device. First, try to sync the album by manual syncing instead of automatic syncing:

ICloud music download not working on iPhone 5

Is anyone having problems with the music app getting tracks From icloud on their iPhone 5 after the Verizon cellular patch? When I open a play list and hit shuffle, it starts on one track and then starts flipping thru the playlist. It never plays anything.

Whew.... got it to work after days of trying to figure.

After that happens you can restore from backup.

Music will not play on iPhone 4?

I have mpegs in playlists on the iPhone from my iTunes. Since the upgrade to 10.5, playback hangs whenever an mpeg attempts to play. Is there a way to fix this?

I tried the: Delete music, sync, add music back in and sync. It worked. Thanks to those who posted the solution.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?
