New purchases not syncing to iphone iTunes 11.0

I recently bought an album and I'd like to get that album on my iPhone 4S.  For some reason, it refuses to sync it to the phone.  When I browse through the music on my phone via iTunes, it shows the music in a playlist I created, but each song has a dotted circle next to the title.  Any thoughts?  I've restarted, rebooted, etc.  This doesn't happen with other music.

I have the files on my computer, icloud should have nothing to do with it.  I'm not sure what happened, but I saved it as a lower quality mp3 and now it syncs.  I forgot to add that it was originally on my phone after I purchased it on my computer.  Only after I upgraded to iTunes 11 did this problem occur.  So, I don't know what happened... but I have a temporary, if not ideal, solution.

  • New Photos not sync'ing to iTunes

    I think this happened before... I noticed that the Photos on Mac is changed. Though I don't really like the interface, I am trying to get used to it... however, once again, the photos are not sync'ing properly to iTunes... I need help... For example: there are more number of photos on my laptop after importing from my phone... Then I grouped them into different Events. However, I am not seeing these being sync back into my phone via the iTunes.
    I happened before, and for some reasons, it get fixed by itself. DO you acknowledge these is a problem?

    HI,
    Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
    and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
    Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
    On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
    if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
    once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
    there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
    Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
    For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit. 
    when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

  • Calendar – Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes

    I posted this question to the iphone hardware forum, however it seems to be more suited to iTunes.
    I have had Microsoft Office 2003 working with iTunes and my iPhone 4 to sync my calendar and contacts for some time, and everything worked perfectly up to the other day. 
    Recently I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2010, and now the calendar will not sync.  Contacts seems to sync ok, but not the calendar.
    I have recently gone through several iterations of upgrades for iTunes, iPhone, and other MS patches and updates.  Evrything is now up to date.  However, nothing I do changes to way that Outlook ignores the iTunes sync.
    Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Office 2010.  I have changed all of the settings in both iTunes and Outlook and on the phone itself.  There does not seem to be any way to make it work.
    I always wait for some time before doing any upgrade to make sure the bugs are worked out of it.  Since Microsoft Office 2010 has been out for almost three years, I would have assumed that iTunes would work with it, as it normally did with earlier versions.  (my mistake)
    While the potential is there for the iPhone to ba a good business tool, the basic inability to reliably sync to Outlook (what is agrguably the most prevalent e-mail, contacts and calendar program currently in use) seems to be a relatively significant issue.
    Is there any way to fix this?

    I looked at the article you referenced, however it appears that the focus is to get Google calndar and Outlook to work together.  I do not use Google calendar. 
    The only real change to the Microsoft side appears to be the change of the version in the Outlook executable file.
    Is this all it takes to get MS Office 2010 to sync with iTunes?

  • IBooks book purchase not syncing to iPhone 5

    I purchased a book on iBooks app from iPad 2. Read 500 Pgs so far an I went to read it from My iPhone 5 an it will not download or sync. I've redownloaded iBooks app several times an even rebooted phone nothing is working!

    I've redownloaded iBooks app several times an even rebooted phone nothing is working!
    Alright, I think by iBook app what you really mean is the book itself, and not the application iBooks which is used to read the actual content.
    Is that correct?

  • New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

    I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

    I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

    If not, what to do?

    Hello Nahuali
    The music will be there once you sign in with your Apple ID that used for purchases. Check out the article below to know the steps on how to make that happen.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • HT1212 I bought a iphone 4s off ebay, the seller's daughter forgot to remove her password but did restore everything else. Its not synced with my itunes so I am not able to go that route. What other way can I restore this Iphone 4S.

    I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.

    If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it.  No other way to go.

  • Apps purchased on iOS not syncing back to iTunes

    Hi,
    I am have been having this problem. Whatever apps I purchase or update on my iOS devices, they do not sync back to iTunes. There is no error message. They just don't sync back. On a quick search, I have seen that some other people have faced the same issue but I haven't seen any solution so far.
    Here is what I am using -
    iTunes 11 on Mac OS X 10.8.2, iPhone 4S with iOS 6, iPad 3 with iOS 5.

    Here is how to transfer apps from iphone to iTunes.
    Step 1:
    First, you need to “Sign In” with Apple ID that you’ve used when downloading the applications from your iPhone. For this, go to “Store” menu entry in iTunes, and choose “Sign in” option.
    Step 2:
    Now, you will need to authorize your computer unless iTunes won’t let you transfer your iPhone applications.
    Step 3:
    Right click on the name of your iPhone in the left hand explorer bar of iTunes and select “Transfer Purchases” option. If you use multiple accounts to buy apps on your iPhone, then you will have to repeat these first two steps with each iTunes account.
    Step 4.
    You can use iPhone Transfer to transfer app from iPhone to iTunes.

  • Iphone does not sync ringtone with itunes

    My iphone 4 does not sync ringtone with itunes. I created a new ringtone in itunes ( file.m4r) , tagged it and started syncing with my iphone, but the new ringtone does not show among the ringtones in my iphone

    Now it works, don't know how, but iot works, since I changed into sync manually started a sync process unsuccessfully and get back to re-sync automatically.
    Used sync all ring tones instead of sync selected ones, but I tried this before and it did not work.
    Very strange, should have been this change, otherwise I really dont't know why it works now and not before

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
