Not all checked songs are syncing to my iPhone (no error messages)

I posted this question a month ago and didn't receive any replies. I'm hoping somebody stumbles upon it with a suggestion. Thanks!
My iTunes library shows 1743 songs, but ony 613 songs get synced to my iPhone. I'm using iTunes 8.1.1.10, iPhone 2.2.1, and Vista 64 Business.
I do have iTunes set to only sync checked songs, but less than 5% are checked (and I can see many checked songs in the iTunes music library that aren't on my phone). If I sync all, 18 more songs (a tiny amount) are added. No error messages are displayed after syncing, there aren't any warning symbols next to the songs in iTunes, I can play the "missing" songs fine from within iTunes, I've consolidated the music library (and I let iTunes keep the music folders organized), I do not have the "manually manage music" setting checked, and only a handful of songs were puchased from the Apple Store.
This has been going on since moving my music and phone to this new computer a few months ago.
I'm stumped. Ideas? Thanks!

Well Chris and Katrina, that seems to have fixed it. Thank you.
Actually, it seems as if it was selecting the "All songs and playlists" radio button that did the trick. I thought (and it now appears incorrectly), that the radio button controlled which playlists were copied rather than which music was copied. I have a bunch of playlists that were created by a music cleaner that I didn't want on my phone (I don't want the playlists but I do want the music), but I'm happy to see 1,300 more songs being copied to the phone. Thanks.
PS (Chris), my comment that only 5% were checked was a typo; only 5% were unchecked. And excuse the claim as to the date of my previous post. Time flies staring at this screen!

  • Not all iTunes playlists are syncing on my iPhone

    These are not Smart Playlists, just plain vanilla manual playlists. iPhone 5 with latest iOS installed. Windows 7 with latest iTunes installed. I've removed the Music Library entirely from the iPhone, then re-synced with the "Entire Music Library" radio button selected, but still only about half of my 12 or so playlists are showing up on the iPhone. Suggestions?

  • I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    Hey there aussieboss123,
    It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
    If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • When I export a playlist and then open in excel, do whatever sorting I want, I then save the file and reimport into itunes but not all the songs are there. It appears to be from "comma's" in the song name. Any solutions?

    I see songs such as "Monday, Monday" or "Paint It, Black" or even the artist name such as "Fireballs, with Jimmy Gilmer" which have comma's in them, being a problem when I try to do the following:
    1. Export a playlist which contains songs which are all there and play fine, but some have comma's in the title such as listed above.
    2. I then open that file in Excel and bring it in as a Tab-delimited file.  Everything lays out fine, and all the songs are thing (including those with comma's).
    3. I then sort the varoius fields I want (which I can't do in i-tunes because i-tunes won't sort it properly), and resave the file as a newly named file, which is also a .txt file.
    4. I then import that playlist into my itunes. It is exactly the same songs that I just had exported but i-tunes says some of the songs can't be found.
    I have traced this problem to comma's in the file name of the song such as listed above.  There must be a solution to this either as the file is opened in excel or in how it's saved or some other solution short of having to rename song/artists without using comma's. 
    Thanks.

    The additional problem is the file name of the song itself.  Even if I were able to delete the commas or replace with a space for example, changing the file name would result in itunes not being able to find the file.  I would have to go through each file (out of about 15,000+ songs) to find any that have titles such as described in this thread and change not only the song and artist in the fields, but changing the mp3 file itself. 
    I fear that I am really pretty much going to have to start with a list of songs that have no comma and then do a file compare to find those songs with commas and then just physically moving them into a new playlist I'm trying to create, but this is a royal pain as I want to be able to create a variety of playlists based on these chart dates/peak positions. 
    I'm trying to sort the songs in this manner:  I use different fields in itunes so that I can put the "peak position" of each song based on Billboard charts, as well as the date the peak position was acheived. I use the "comment box" for that.  I use the "grouping" field for my peak position.
    So I end up with something like "10/14/1980" in the comment box as the peak position for a song which is in the grouping field, and so forth.  If I try to sort the comments column in itunes for example, it won't sort properly. If I sort the Grouping field, it will bring up all the "1's", but that's followed by "10", 11, ...19, then "2", etc.  This is why I want to export the playlist and sort it as I want, and then reimport the playlist into itunes. 
    What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is a year-by-year peak position playlist so that I end up with every #1 song (in this case) from, say, January 1st 1980 and then every #1 song in sequential order for the rest of the year falls in line.  I have chart position dates from 1955 through 1999.  I have entered in all the data from Billboard books I own so I can really create some amazing playlists, but these commas are problematic. Had I known this ahead of time I would have made "Monday, Monday" as "Monday Monday" and not included commas, but it's too late for that.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do i transfer songs from my old ipod to my new one when not all the songs are on my itunes account?

  • Not all my passwords are synced across. Are there certain cases when it is not supposed to?

    I have two computers, one at work and my personal laptop. Both are set up to use FF4 sync, and I checked, passwords are enabled to be synced. However, I found that certain passwords are not synced (well, one at least) -- I thought adding the page as a favourite might help but no luck. The password is still not synced. Are there circumstances in which passwords should not sync (by design)? Or is this some bug?
    Thanks for the great browser, guys and gals!

    It's possible that particular Password is somehow "broken" to sync. In which case, Sync will skip it.
    To correct it;<br>
    - Delete the entry that isn't syncing from your passwords. <br>
    - Sync Now<br>
    - Then visit the page for the password, add the password<br>
    - Sync Now, again<br>
    - Finally, Sync Now, from other machine.

  • Not all my contacts are syncing across all my devices

    I'm trying to set up groups of contacts for my iPhone 4s.  in order to do that I'm told I have to do it on my desktop computer. It is impossible to do it  on my iPhone. However, not all of my contacts are on the computer as are on my iPhone. Most all the contacts are on the computer except for the ones I need. I have checked iCloud on both my desktop and my iPhone and iCloud is switched on for mail, and contacts along with a few others. What else do I need to do to get all my contacts to my desktop so I can make a group?
    Also, if iPhone is so good why couldn't I do it on my iPhone?

  • Having a sudden problem in that not all my contacts are syncing

    Never had a problem before but now some of my contacts (on my MacBook) no longer sync to my iPhone 3.
    Always the same ones.  Nothing to do with groups as I don't have any.
    Have synced with the replace contacts on the iPhone with those on the MB but all still do not sync neither does syncing with the contacts option unticked which deleted all contacts on the iPhone but when resyncing with contacts synced the same ones were still missing on the iPhone.
    Any ideas much appreciated
    Should add that I am syncing via USB as no iCloud etc.

  • How come not all my songs are on iCloud?

    Just thought this was odd but not every one of my songs in my Itunes library is on ICloud, what gives? Shouldn't the all be stored?

    At least one of those not matched to iTunes is a duplicate. There are other criteria too which might affect whether a file is eligible, it has to be better than 96 kbps and less than 200 MB for example.

  • When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

  • TS3899 Not able to access gmail thru iPhone. Error message states "mail server not accessible"

    Did this used to work or have you just set it up for Gmail access? Did you do it in accordance with: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810 ?
    Are you accessing it via cellular network or WiFi? If WiFi then is this your usual network?
    If it has been working fine for some time and now suddenly you get this message having changed nothing then it is most likely a temporary glitch at Google end or your ISP perhaps.

  • Not all my songs in my itunes library are synced to my ipod

    Why not all my songs in itunes library are synced to my ipod classic?

    Have you set iTunes to Sync all the music to your iPod?
    If you have set it up as step 1, did you also select Sync only ticked songs and videos on the Summary pane?
    If you chose step 2, are the songs mising form the iPod ticked in your Library? If not, that's why they are not on your iPod.
    Alternatively, where are you looking for the songs on your iPod? For example, If you cannot find the artist on the artist menu, have you looked under the album title or the song's title?
