My phone won't sync my entire music library

My phone supposedly doesn't have enough room to sync, so what I did was: deleted apps. I also got shared music that I wanted to sync and it won't sync that either. Even songs I've already purchased have turned grey, meaning I cannot sync them nor play them on my IPhone. I had to readd songs I already had, but the other songs that weren't mine, they won't sync at all. I could really use some help with this, because I would really like to have all of my music; including added music.

Sorry I can't help but I did so enjoy how you phrased that.

  • Updated to IOS 7 and now itunes will no longer sync my entire music library

    I just got off the phone with an Apple Senior advisor.  I advises that I had just updated to IOS7 and was synching my iPad only to find out that it would not synch any music that was not downloaded through itunes. I have 865 songs that I have accumulated over the years by burning cds and adding them to my itunes library.  Never have I had an issue with itunes synching the songs but now it appears that Apple is only going to support songs that you purchase through itunes.  Can someone give me some direction on how to transfer the songs that I have on my ipad to my itunes library since synching with IOS7 will completely wipe out my library. I have Ipad 2, iPod Touch and an original iPod. 

    when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked

  • Help I can no longer sync my entire music library to my iPhone 4S

    My iPhone 4S is no longer able to sync up with all of the music in my iTunes library. It seems to have stopped when I upgraded my phone with Apple software last month. And at the bottom of iTunes it shows that I only have used about 15% of the space! While it is trying to sync
    I do see some message about checking Safari whatever that is.

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • How can I sync my entire music library, but not my playlist?

    I usually purchase everything directly from my ipod and I use the "purchased" playlist alot to keep track of recent songs. I found that when I sync it deletes it. Is there any way to sync the library without changing the playlists on my ipod?

    Just what is deleted when you sync?
    Try just transfering purchases and not syncing

  • ITunes/my phone won't let me put music on my phone? I can see it but it won't let me select it in "on this phone"

    Hey there,
    I have had my iPhone 5 since October and every time I would do an update the phone would crash and I had to start from scratch every time (thank god for back ups). So I finally got the chance to switch out my phone at an apple store about a month ago. Since then though, I have not been able to sync any music on to my phone. I have tried the newest versions of software possible, tried restoring my phone from the last back up of the old phone and other various things I could think of. Even when I got to the "on this iPhone" tab, it shows me all the music that is supposed to be on there. Problem is that it is all unselected and it won't let me select them. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes music and have selected 'entire music library', which shows a large amount of potential music data to be transferred.  Trouble is after sync, the bar shrinks back to just the content of one particular Playlist!?

    Please can anyone help?  I am trying to sync my iphone music with itunes, but am finding that as soon as the sync is complete the data bar shrinks back from almost full (my entire music library) to just 100 songs, which happen to be the contents of one playlist I have.  i cannot seem to change the music content on my phone no matter what?  PS when I hit sync the capacity bar fills up, but when I apply, it drops back to just those songs I already mentioned :- (

    thank you randers4, unfortunately these restrictions aren't to blame.  Now I realise the problem - I tried to play some of the music and found out that the source data wasn't attached.  The computer was rebuilt and backed up - and it seems perhaps hasn't all been copied back.  I am currently attempting to copy accross some itunes files from my backup drive.  Bit confused, too many itunes files of different types but fingers crossed getting closer to the solution......?

  • I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

    I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
    it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
    option and check the Selected Artist … one.
    I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
    How can I change this to the second option?
    Thanks.

    There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync.  It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing.  That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
    NOTE:  If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
    So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
    Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting).  Please post back with more details about your situation.

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
    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/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I'm not completely computer illiterate; but, I am not well versed either. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to bring this back so I can sync my phone and laptop (windows op system).

    The screen-shot is on a Mac computer. It is very similar in Windows iTunes.  Have a look at this set of instructions instead.
