My music won't sync from my iTunes Library to my iPhone 5s

So my new iPhone 5s wasn't functioning and I needed to get a replacement. I forgot that I hadn't synced the phone to my computer since my old 4S, as I had collected much more music since then. Whenever I try to sync it, it says it is going through the syncing steps at the top, but only takes a few seconds, and then nothing has changed on my phone. Why I apply the changes in order to put the music on the phone, the bar at the bottom (which shows how much data is left and what data that is) that signifies music and gets larger and shows the correct amount of memory it should take up on my phone. After the supposed "syncing", the memory bar goes away.
There is plenty of room for the music to be put on, probably 20 GB or so... Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi rhiannon5SOS,
You may need to enable manual mode for your device in iTunes as detailed in the article linked below.

My music won't sync from my iTunes library to my Apple device

I have tried various suggestions and nothing has worked. I had 168 songs on my iPhone, but after trying to sync the new music (22 songs) all my music ended up being deleted. I have looked up many videos and I'm yet to find an answer. When I try to sync the music on my iTunes to my Apple device, it just quickly goes through the 4 steps and nothing happens. At the bottom were it says "audio", it will say 200 songs and then after it "syncs" it goes right back to 0. It's like I'm doing the right thing but there is something going wrong along the way. In trying to solve this problem please don't say "Click Music in settings and then click sync music" or "Go to summary and click the 'Sync only checked songs' tab" I have tried all that LoL. There is something actually wrong. Thanks.

Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
Music will now be copied to you phone.

Connect the phone to your computer
Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
Click once on it in that list
Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

How do I move music from my iTunes library to my iPhone?

iTunes 12 is certainly a different UI from before. Previously, there was an icon of my plugged-in iPhone in the upper right corner of the UI to which I could drag items I wanted to transfer to my phone - movies, music, etc.
That's gone. I'm seeing my iTunes library, and the iTunes store, but no references at all to my iPhone 6 that's plugged in.
So, how do I now transfer items from my iTunes library to my iPhone???

You can connect your iPhone (wired) to you Mac and in iTunes an iPhone-icon will appear right next to the three dot in the white top bar. It will also appear in the sidebar you can open by clicking on the playlistsbutton right next to My Music. If you click on your iPhone in the sidebar all folders on the iPhone will be unfolded and you can drag and drop music from you library to you iPhone (as shown in the screenshot below).
If you click on the iPhone icon in the white bar, you get the screens to manage the content of you iPhone and synchronize.
PS: the iPhone should appear wireless as well, but does not most of the time. This is a bug. I expect it to be solved in the next update. Until then we must work wired.

Traktor s4 issues - won't sync with current iTunes library

As of July 21st, my Traktor S4 won't sync with my iTunes library. Within the Traktor interface it shows playlists that I've since removed and doesn't show any of the more recent tracks I've loaded.
Is this an iTunes issue or a NI Traktor issue?
Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? I've attempted their user support a few times but I feel I had more knowledge about this then them as they couldn't give me an answer.
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks!

Ha, well that was quick. HOW ON EARTH DID NI TECH SUPPORT NOT KNOW THIS!!!!!
I had to reset the path to my iTunes library (which i figured but had no guidance). I was having issues with this before because every option I selected was greyed out. This time I went in and routed it to the "iTunes Library XML" and it worked. Clearly I'm not a techy that is familiar with XML but it worked. Hopefully this helps someone else out there with this issue.
Again, it amazes me that after 3 calls with NI they had no idea how to help

I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer. I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
Any advice/help is appreciated.
Thanks.

My music won't sync from computer to ipod

My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
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.

Song bought on my iPhone won't sync to my iTunes Library

I bought a new song two days ago on the Wifi iTunes Store from my iPhone. When i connect the iPhone to my computer (iMac 10.4.11), the song won't transfer to my iTunes Library. My setup :
iTunes set to "Manually manage music and videos" (as proposed by an apple support guy before)
"Transfer purchases" menu does nothing. Nore does "sync" (of course).
The song still appears on my iPhone ("Purchased").
Let me add that this is not the first time i buy a song from my iPhone and sync it.

Yes sir ! Same account everywhere.
While i was waiting for an answer, I found a way to get my song in my iTunes library by using DiskAid.
Next time i'll experience the same issue, i'll try de/re-authenticate.
Thanks

HT1689 how do I transfer music from my itunes library to my iphone?

I hate the new itunes store. You used to be able to drag and drop things you wanted on your iphone but now it's so complicated. How do I transfer items from my iturnes library to my iphone? I want to transfer a couple of songs from an album.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to the music tab, select the content you want, click sync/apply.

HT1567 I have new computer and my ipod won't sync with my itunes library on it.

Trying to sync my ipod with my itunes account on my new computer with no response. When I plug my ipod into my computer it doesn't sync.

How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? What options do you have enabled/configured from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs? Perhaps this article can offer more assistance.
