New computer not syncing all songs

I recently bought a new computer and when I entered my apple ID information, only a small amount of my itunes library showed up. When I upgraded to the new iphone a few months ago all my music showed up on that without a problem. Any problem solving fixes for the computer I should know about?

The personal data form your original computer will not just appear on a new computer. You must put it there by copying it from the original compute to the new computer. These Apple KB articles will help you:

Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.

iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?

I am having this issue also. Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists. The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist. I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick". I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also. Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success. How do we escalate this to Apple? Do they review these posts?

Syncing iPhone on a new computer & not losing all your files???

So my boyfriend got a new computer (with Windows 7 OS) and is now wondering how to transfer all his music etc on his iPod and iPhone 3GS over to it. We have heard of Senuti but apparently you have to pay to use it and we're sure Apple has a solution for getting files from iPod/iPhone to computer. So how exactly do we go about doing this? I know when it comes to things purchased on your iPhone you can just transfer purchases to iTunes, but we're worried about all his music etc that was not purchased on his iPhone.
This is probably a really simple question, however any help is still appreciated! Thanks!!!

Since all music and all other iTunes content on his iPod and iPhone 3GS should be in his iTunes library on his old computer, he can transfer his iTunes library from his old computer to his new computer along with all other important data that he will need or want to access on his new computer such as photos, documents, etc. He can use his external drive that is used for backup purposes to backup all important data on his computer to transfer this data.
Copy the iTunes named folder in his Music folder on his old computer and with iTunes quit on his new computer, place the iTunes folder coped from his old computer in the Music folder. He will also need to authorize his new computer with his iTunes account with iTunes if he hasn't already done so. When launching iTunes on his new computer, the iTunes library should be identical to his iTunes library on his old computer and this will also prevent all iTunes content on his iPhone from being erased with the first sync with iTunes on his new computer.

New Ipod touch does not sync all songs

I just got a new ipod touch 32gb, i have itunes 9 on the compter. had 5th generation ipod touch orginally. itunes set to auto sync. plug touch into computer, registered it, showd itouch on itunes. first keep getting several "song can not be sync unkonw error (50). when synce is complete, touch only has 47 songs on it. i have over 1300 songs in itunes. when touch is connected, summary shows that there are a lot of songs. 7 gb. touch shows all playlists but only one or two songs in them? most songs not purchsed through itunes, most are mp3 some are aac. unconnected and reconnected touch several times and still not syncing itunes library. please help

I have an iPod Touch 64GB and over 20,000 songs. I only put approximately 7,500 songs on at a time. I have a song on 2 different playlists. It appears in one playlist, but not the other. My iTunes & iPod are both updated w/ the most recent versions. Is there anything that I can do to rectify this issue?

ITunes, new computer, search/consolidate all songs?

I just went from a prehistoric iBook G4 to a lightning-fast MacBook Pro.
The new computer was a gift, so 'setup assistant' has already been run, and I don't want to reinstall the OS, seeing as my mum added her Mac programs (Word, etc) for which I don't have disks.
The problem is: my old iBook didn't have memory, so all my stuff is already on an external hard drive. I want to find a way that the new iTunes will read and consolidate all of the existing songs on my external hard drive. I've read forum posts, and in theory there should be a 'search' function, though I have yet to find it on the new OS.
I backup frequently, so I could use backup disks, but considering that I have 80gig of music this would involve going to the hard drive, deleting the existing music, then re-importing it (I wouldn't have room on my hard drive for the old 80gig + the same old re-imported 80-gig's worth...). Big pain in the tuckus, and counterproductive.
There must be a way to have iTunes search for and consolidate existing music on a hard drive.
I seem to remember having this function on the old OS, 'twould be a bummer not to have it on the new one. I already notice that in internet settings 'Use Interference Robustness" has disappeared, meaning I can't connect wirelessly to the internet using the MacBook Pro.
Not having internet or music will make me beg to have my old iBook-PowerPC back....
I have also used my MacOS help function with little luck...

Well you should be able to import songs by clicking on "File" and "import folder" then you can select the source such as your external hard drive. Itunes will then import your music and, if neccesary, convert them to the MP3 format.
Hope this helps!

Ipod Shuffle - 2 Gen, 1 GB - not sync all songs and blank autoplay menu

Hi,
I have two issues with my ipod shuffle, 2 Gen, 1 GB.
When I attach it to my computer a blank autoplay menu pops up. Nothing can be selected and I just click cancel and it goes away but it comes up every time I connect. I've tried going into the properties of it in my computer and setting the default action to do nothing but it still comes up. I've also disabled disk use within the settings of it in iTunes but it still happens.
Second when I try to autofill from a playlist, it shows all the songs ready to be synced but after doing about 11, it stops and says it's completed when it clearly hasn't. If I press sync again it does a few more then same result. It just won't fill the ipod up. I've double checked there's room on there and I have set zero space for disk use so the entire 1 GB is used for music but it still won't do a complete fill in one go.
Anyone got any ideas? Using latest version of ipod software 1.0.4 and latest version of iTunes 10.1.0.54

My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen (latest firmware + iTunes) is
almost only playing purchased .m4p songs. Only very
few (1-2 out of 200) of .m4a are playing on the
shuffle.
The songs are getting transfered properly and when
the shuffle is connected I can play the
songs/.m4a-files stored on the shuffle through Real
Player (The folder structure is accessible through
the FileExplorer while the upload process is
running).
If I only upload not playable .m4a songs the shuffle
blinks "no music uploaded".
Looks like a firmware problem of the Shuffle since I
can't see any pattern which .m4a songs are played and
which not.
Can anyone share this experience? Any solution?
WHAT does iTunes' Get Info "Summary" say about the songs that don't play?

How to download mp3 to iphone G3 from from library on new computer with erasing all songs on iphone now?

how do I download a mp3 from the itunes library on a new athorized computer to my iphone G3 with out erasing all songs on my iphone ow?

Yes. That's what will happen. As I said, you can only sync to 1 iTunes database at a time. In order to set up a sync relationship with the new iTunes library, the media on your phone will be erased and replaced by media in the new iTunes library.

Syncing but not syncing all songs

So i'm trying to sync music to my ipod and i should have a bit more then three songs :/ http://prntscr.com/6vfff9 Never happened before and i don't know how to fix.

Where are you looking for the song...under what menu? If it doesn't have an album name on the ID tag (under Get Info), it won't show up under Albums. If it has an album artist listed instead of an artist, I'm not sure if it will show under artist. If it's not showing under Songs, is the name of the song entered correctly under Get Info.
And...do you have your syncing preferences set to Sync All?

Bought new computer cant sync my songs to new but can sync purchased songs

hello i bought a new computer and cannot sync my songs from my cds from ipod to new computer itunes library but have already synced my purdchased songs from i tunes

There is no issue with syncing to devices.
Regardless, this is a user to user forum, so no one here is going to fix the "issue" for you.
If you have an actual problem, post specifics. "cant sync" means absolutely nothing.

My 4s is not syncing all songs I've bought on iTunes

My phone is only syncing some songs/albums I've purchased. How do I play all songs I've purchased? I'm 99% sure I setup home sharing. HELP and thank you!

Thank you! I've always just assumed you couldn't play iTunes content on Spotify, but never occurred to me to try installing Quicktime! Did the trick.

New Windows 8 computer not syncing most songs on older iPod.

I have a new Windows 8 computer and an older iPod. I can now only sync songs that were NOT already on iCloud, even though all my 8000 songs are in files on my C drive and backed-up on an external drive. The weird thing is that few files that do sync are the only ones that are also visible on Home Sharing.

Hello Terrymcadam,
It sounds like you can press the sync button in iTunes but no music transfers over to your iPod classic. I found an article that should help with transferring music to your iPod classic.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
You might need to go to the Music tab seen here and check the "Sync Music" box and then select the data that you would like to sync.
I hope this helps get you back on track!

Not syncing all songs

After updating my Ipod 4th gen to IOS6, I cannot transfer all of my music from itunes to the ipod, only about 60% of the songs, have tried syncing several times with not succes, any help?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

ITunes does not sync all songs to iPod

Hi, I have the older iPod with the first color screen, 30gb. Now, for some reason upon syncing (multiple attempts), I'm only able to sync 3921 of 4,185 songs in my library on an external hard drive. All of my songs were imported from my CDs while some were bought at the iTunes store. I'm not sure why 264 songs won't import nor which songs they are.
Is there a way to figure out why they won't import and which songs are "stuck" in iTunes?
Thanks,
Mike

so i restore my ipod (30gb) to its original settings due to the fact that i had a lock code on there and couldnt remember what it was to unlock volume...so restored it and now all my songs arent syncing on it..

2 Computers, 1 AID: iTunes Match not syncing all songs

I have the following computers/devices all using the same Apple ID for iTunes Match:
-MBP used at home and remotely
-iMac used at home
-iMac used at work
-2 iPhone 5s
-iPad
All devices are using iOS 7.2 and 10.8.5, iTunes version 11.1.1.
The problem I'm having is that when I import music (or, in this specific case, an audiobook file) into iTunes on my MBP from a CD, that file does not show up on my iMac at home. The file's iCloud status is listed as "uploaded," and the file shows up on every iOS device, and on my iMac at work. Just not on my iMac at home. Both the MBP and my home iMac frequently share a home network.
Thanks for your replies!

I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this. I was esclated through several levels.
They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
I still have an open ticket. But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
My iOS devices are not working (iPad 3 and iPhone 4) my Apple TV however is working fine. But not showing any new songs I have added.
