My music won't sync with my iPhone (and several other problems)

My music has all disappeared from my iphone - the playlist names are still there, but the playlists are empty. and all my songs are in the library, but they all have the dowload from cloud button by them, but they arent on my actual phone. I'm not sure what the cause is because it could be a few different things... I got a new mac for christmas, so today was the first time I was using my new computer, and I also downloaded the new update on my phone today. After the update, my old apple id showed up, when I changed the email address on that id months ago. I deleted that account after reading some forums on here, and signed in with the current email and password for my apple ID. After that, the music wouldnt go on my phone. Also, it says I dont have room on the cloud, even though I do, and wont back up to icloud. I restored my phone and used my last updated back up (again, using advice from a different forum) to see if that would help, and it did not. Very frustrating because I have spent a LOT of money on music. Help?! Im trying to avoid an hour and 45 min drive to my nearest apple genius bar.

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions. Are yu following those instructions?
Does the iTunes see the iPod? If not:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • ITunes 11 won't sync with my iPhone and iPad, but will with my iPod!

    Why won't my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 sync with iTunes 11? My iPod Classic syncs fine, but iTunes 11 does not even recognize my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both are visible in My Computer so I know it's not a USB or connection problem. 

    Just guessing here as I don't have an Iphone or Ipad.
    Try to enable Show Side Bar (Menu Bar - View - Click Show Side Bar) (Keyboard Short Cut Ctrl + S)
    Can you see them now ?
    Edit: // Some suggestions you can try from other discussions
    verified that all the itunes services are running
    apple mobile device, bonjour service &  ipod service?
    Finally tried to update driver and it said I had the latest driver for Windows 7. I then disabled it, hard reset on iPad (original iPad) and when it was back on it installed the driver on my computer. Enabled driver and GLORY! It finally works normal.

  • My ical won't sync with my iphone and ipad calendar?

    I cannot get my Mac ical  calendar to sync new appointments added from mac to iphone and ipad calendar.  I have downloaded iCloud. When I add a new appointment to my iphone it syncs rights away to my ipad calendar but not to my mac computer and vice versa.
    Any suggestions?

    On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon.  Turn on iCloud.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
    One of the services is ICal. 

  • The 'work' calendar in ical won't sync with my iphone. All others ok

    I have HOME, WORK  and a google calendar. I have an Ipad2 and an iPhone. For both, under Info in iTunes, I have All Calendars slected. The ipad gets all three, the iPhone will not get WORK. I even unchecked ALL and chose them individually. Still no go.
    Thoughts?
    Thank you,

    Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this.  Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  You will not lose any data doing this.  Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

  • 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?

  • 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..

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

    Swingreader for baseball won't sync with my iPhone? Any ideas?

    2 things MT, I had same problem... Go to the Apps section and make sure you are downloading the right version of SwingReader b cuz there are 2 or 3 and one says 2010 and another (w same Name) says 2012-
    Two, make sure your software for your i Phone/Pad is up to Date - 5.1 etc as I had the fun of missing on both fronts and it wouldn't load... then it would load but not work... Now all is working.  Hope this helps.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.
