My music will not copy from itunes in my pc to my iphone 4

I can see it in my Itunes library but when I try to drag it to the music subfolder under my devices it will not allow it! Please help!

Are you set to manual or do you have syncing setup? If it's the latter then you don't drag. You have to select iPhone under devices, go to the music tab and click what you want to sync, then Click on the apply button

When I add music from my CD onto my Macbook, the music will not transfer from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone/iPad. I'm using iCloud, current software updates and Music Match. Any solutions?

Music will not transfer from Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to iPhone via cloud

Music will not transfer from my Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to my iPhone except for music purchased through iTunes. Hard sync doesn't seems to work as I use iCloud. Suggestions?

Only music purchased from the iTunes store is available to download from iCloud unless you subscribe to iTunes Match. Also, you can sync music using iTunes on you Mac even if you are using iCloud for syncing your contacts, calendars and other data.

Music will not play from iTunes during a slideshow that is run from flickr. ATV says turn on homesharing...it already is on! HELP!!!!

Music will not play during a slideshow launched from Flickr. After choosing music and starting slideshow, the screen says "loading" and it never stops. Under the computers section it says, turn on home sharing in iTunes on the computer with the music library. It is on but apple tv wont recognize it. I've signed out and signed back in over and over and home sharing is on but music wont play. Is this a bug with flickr? Music will play when i launch a slideshow from the iPad but it doesnt have as many cool options for slideshows as flickr does. I want the flickr slideshow to play with music!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!! Can anyone help???

ok, major miracle. it is now working. here is how i fixed it, and it was a stroke of luck to even find this. opened iTunes, went to edit, then to preferences. box pops up, went to the sharing icon and clicked share my local library on my local network. then scrolled down and checked all the boxes that were applicable. for the heck of it i went through all the other headings to see what else might be hiding from me. i never thought this would do anything but went to ATV, selected flickr, chose some music and wa-la....its playing. also, under the computers heading, it still does not show my iTunes library but clearly its there someplace. oh well, it works...i'm happy! your reply inspired me to keep working so thank you for that!

10 songs will not copy from iTunes to iPod.

I have been having a problem when syncing my iPod. At the end of the sync, a dialog box appears, saying 'some of the items in the iTunes library, including "song name", were not be copied to the iPod "iPod name" because they could not be found". In total there are 10 songs that I can not copy to my iPod, they were all purchases off Amazon Music, as I had a voucher for the site at that time. When I initially purchased the songs, they were copied to my iPod without a problem, it is only recently when syncing my iPod that this has occured. If anyone could explain to me how to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful, thank you in advance!

Hi, zoed0775.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If an exclamation mark next to iTunes media in your library means that either the media is missing from the computer or iTunes is not directed to where the media is located. Here is an article that will help you locate the missing media. I have also included a list of icons in iTunes 11 as it will direct you to the best course of action.

Audiobook will not copy from iTunes to iPod!

I've been using my iPod for some time now, and this is a new problem for me. I have copied an audiobook (mp3) from the cd to iTunes. All the chapters show up there, but when I try to drag them to my iPod, only chapters 1 through 5 show up - the others don't copy. Any ideas? This has always worked before - I don't know what has changed!

Are you basing the few that don't get sent to your ipod on the file count? Could there be duplicates? I've noticed that there are some of my movies that don't get sent over but I usually get a warning that they aren't in a compatable format.
There is an option in either file or edit (can't remember exactly where, I'm at work) but you can filter to show all the duplicates. I've noticed that when I drag files over to be copied to my ipod and there are duplicates, it only does one.
After you find the culprits, another thing would be to export the file to your desktop. Delete it from iTunes then reimport it making sure of the file format.
just a thought

Some music will not transfer from itunes to ipod

I noticed the other day that one album consisting of 5 songs that's in ITunes is not on my IPod Nano.. These are the only songs that I'm aware of.The songs play on Itunes, the box next to the songs is checked and syncing does nothing. They were on there at one time.
Thanks,
Rich

Locate these tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose Get Info from the menu. When the window comes up, head over to Info tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "part of a compilation." Then if necessary sync the updated changes to your iPod.
You can see how your iPod is cnofigured to sync your music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes.

Purchased itunes music will not copy to ipod touch with windows

I'm helping out a neighbor. They just got an ipod touch and when they set up the itunes they were able to transfer some music but when they purchased music from itunes and tried putting it on the ipod it won't go. Now no music will copy to the ipod. Does anyone know that they should do? I'm not much of a PC person but I think if I can get some direction I can help them out.

If the non-syning ones play in iTunes on the coputer:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Not Copying From iTunes to iPod, No Error Message

I am having a very annoyingly difficult time. I am trying to add music to my iPod like I have been for years now. For some reason, iTunes is simply not letting me. I try to drag and drop a playlist onto my iPod, and the playlist is created on the iPod, but no music gets transferred! If I do the "sync" option, it gives me all kinds of problems with "can't find" the songs. When I show iTunes where the music is again, it still won't copy the songs over!
It seems the ONLY songs it will transfer over for me are ones that I had to convert to AAC because they were WMA format.
I have reset my iPod back to factory defaults, I have done everything I can think of. Nothing works, and it's driving me absolutely nuts!
I would really appreciate if someone could help me find the way to fix this issue so I can keep using my iPod. Thanks!

For some reason, hooking the iPod up to my wife's machine (which it worked fine on) seems to have done the trick. When I reattached it to my machine, it updates fine from iTunes.
Wish I had tried that first before restoring it.

Mp3 will not sync from iTunes desktop to iphone

Hi All,
I have some mp3 files (voice recordings purchased from Darren Hardy) that I imported into my iTunes Library just fine on my Mac OSX desktop.
However, those files simply will not sync up with my iPhone like the other 1900-odd songs in my library do just fine.
I'm not a total dope, but this one's got me baffled. I've tried reboots, resyncs, changing the files from music to audiobooks, nothing obvious seems to work.
And BTW, there's no indication in the Get Info box that there is any DRM on them.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris.

Music will not add to iTunes (MP3 Format)

I'll try to make this quick. About a month ago my hard drive was over flooded with MP3's. I decided to get an external 250GB Hard drive. I moved all of my files over to the external hard drive. iTunes "lost" the connection to those files. Rather than re-define the location of my files inside of iTunes, I took this opportunity to re-organize all of my music.
1. I uninstalled iTunes
2. Deleted the iTunes directory under My Documents\My Music\iTunes
3. Re-installed the latest version of iTunes.
4. Reactivated using my AppleID
I won't even get into how upset I am that the music I purchased is no longer available to me. I find it nearly insane that I can see a list of the music/games I PAID FOR but cannot re-download them. Therefore I've lost those songs and the Suduko game I bought. Lovely.
This is where the problem starts. I do a FILE <-- ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY and then I select the folder to add. Some folders add with no problems while other folders will not add. Here are the steps I have taken to resolve the problem.
1. Try to drag and drop the songs into iTunes.
2. Try to do a FILE <-- ADD FILE TO LIBRARY (1 file at a time)
3. Moved songs back to the C:\ drive from the external drive.
4. Rename the music files.
5. Using MusicBrainz Picard, I re-tagged (ID3) the files.
6. Uninstalled iTunes and installed an older version (v.7.0)
7. Sent a music file to my friend (here is where it get's interesting)
Now, my friend ALSO cannot add ANY MP3 file that I send him, but he can go out and download the exact same file from the internet and he can add that file with no problem. What does this mean? Is my computer corrupting my MP3 files? Some things to note:
1. I've used Windows XP SP2 to edit my ID3 tags by using the Right-Click <-- Properties <-- Summary Tab to fix or correct some of the names of the artists/albums. Could I be causing some ID3 tag problems when I use MusicBrainz or Windows XP SP2 to change my files?
2. When I try to play one of these "bad" MP3's in iTunes, it won't play the song but when I attempt to play the song using Media Player, I have no problem listening to it.
Any ideas? I'm frustrated and lost. It's been a month without my music on my iPod and I'm wondering if their are any other programs aside from iTunes that I can use with my iPod.

Update - The problem is within iTunes. This is an educated guess but when other applications have NO problem playing, and reading (ID3 Tags) of the same MP3 files that iTunes CANNOT see, this must be an iTunes problem. These are the programs that can play and read ID3 tags on my MP3's:
1. Windows Media Player
2. WinAmp
3. Songbird
4. VLC Media Player
5. MusicBrainz
Also, I used a freeware app named ID3 cleaner to do a test on my MP3's. The program scans for corrupted ID3 tags on MP3 files. It found no corruption on my files at all. I have also converted the ID3 tags on my MP3's to older version thinking that iTunes might have a problem with ID3 V2.4. I took it back to 2.1 and this didn't solve the problem. I'm very frustrated with iTunes and will be using SongBird to work with my iPod for now on. I'll just cut my losses as far as the $50 I've spent in the iTunes Store. If anyone has any other recommendations to fix the problem, I'd love to hear them.
I know I'm not the first person who can't add/import MP3 files into their iTunes library. Doing a search in Google shows hundreds of thousands of hits. At this point it's a complete mystery to me. Something in some of my MP3 files makes iTunes unhappy. This was NOT a problem about 4 months ago. I have a feeling that the most recent releases of iTunes (since the iPhone) has some major bugs. I've been an iTunes user for only about a year but in the last 4 months I've had more problems with Quicktime / iTunes than I have had in the other 8 months combined.
Thanks for reading my unneccesarily long rant I'll check back, seems like a lot of good and helpful people come into these forums. Must be the Apple state of mind

Movie The Words will not sync from iTunes 11.0.1 to Apple TV gen1

Hello,
I have followed the threads on the subject and got an SD copy of The Words (which I purchased in HD).
Originally, there were two other problems.
1) the download was being corrupted at the end, not finishing properly (HD). Although it would play in iTunes on the mac, a check of the Info showed several fields simply missing, such as AppleID. It did sync to Apple TV gen1 but then told us 'not authorized' when trying to play it. I finally got a good copy after clearing the Downloads folder and re-downloading several times.
2) AppleIDs from iTunes and iCloud did not match, so I was at first unable to get the show iCloud in iTunes option on the Store preferences, with no warning. I fixed that too and got an SD copy of The Words into iTunes.
I removed the original movie file from the Apple TV. it was gone from the movie list.
However, I now have an SD copy of the movie in my iTunes, but it WILL NOT sync to the AppleTV. When i select it for sync, and apply, Sync runs very briefly, indicating no problems, but nothing gets done. The movie does not appear in the Apple TV menu, and it is clearly not being transferred over.
Anyone got any suggestions?
thanks

Morning athos441,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Tunes not copying from iTunes to iPod -- frustration

I have a new iPod, 5th generation 60 gig. I have about 20,000 tunes in my songlist. Four (4) of them will not load into the iPod from iTunes. I have AppleCare on my powerbook, so I called to see what could be done. I was told that I have to manually look through both lists to find which tunes aren't loading. We're talking about 20,000 songs. About 300 pages printed out, single-spaced. Hello? This is exactly the sort of thing computers are for. If there was a way to tell it to compare the lists I'd have my answer in less than a second. It might not be a big deal to the 200 or 300 song user, but I got the big iPod because I want to use it. Anyway, if anyone has any idea of a workaround, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks a ton.
Powerbook G4, iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Again, there's 20,000 tunes and over 4000 artists, most of them doing several tunes. There has to be an easier way than looking through lists. Everything is up to date. The OS, iTunes, the most recent iPod updater, everything. Every file is AAC. If it couldn't find a file it would, I think, say so. The basic issue is that there seems to be nothing built into iTunes to deal with the possibility of this kind of problem and I cannot for a minute believe that I'm the only person who has had something like this happen. And by the way, every file is a legal copy, owned by me.
