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?

  • 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!

  • Upgrading to windows 8 , hence will have to reinstall itunes , will all my playlist. apps synced with my iphone get deleted ?

    i am upgrading to windows 8 , and i will have to reinstall itunes on my computer, will doing so delete all the data ? to be specific will it delete all the playlist n the stuff that i currently see in my itunes ? whats gonna happen to all the apps that i had downlaoded for my iphone ?

    As given iTunes is not currently supported on Windows 8, however this is the approach that I would recommend when the time comes.
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old operating system.
    Install new operating system.
    Restore the backup to your new system using the same tool used to back it up.
    Install iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    This should give the new system a complete clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    Try exporting a vCard for them all & uploading that file to iCloud...

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Lost all itunes playlists when I reset my apple ID username

    I changed my Apple ID username and now all of my iTunes playlists are gone from my iPhone 5C, however all of my music is still there.  When I log-in to iTunes on my iMac all of my music and playlists are still available.  Why are my playlists gone from my iPhone 5C and how do I restore them?  Thanks!

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • 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?

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • 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.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

  • I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get new computer.  My library is still there and the playlists show and I can even add to my playlists. But as soon as it goes to sync it says it can't find all the songs that used to be there.

    I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get a new computer.  They all appear in my library and show in my playlists.  I can even download new songs from the itunes store to those playlists but when it syncs only the new songs go on the ipod.  It says it can't find any of my "old" songs and puts an exclamation mark beside them.  I am clueless when it comes to these things.  Advice please!  We have three ipods on this account trying to figure it out.

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • 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

  • HT4759 not all my contacts are being sync from my IPad or IPhone to ICloud?

    When backing up IPhone 5s or Mini IPad retina, not all my contacts are backing up or showing in ICloud?

    I assume that you have enabled contacts syncing with iCloud in Settings>iCloud on your devices.  If so, and some of your contacts don't appear on icloud.com, open the contacts app and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed such as On My iPhone (iPad), Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

    My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?  I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel.  I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes.  I have reset my photo stream.  Not sure what else to try...   I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa.  Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not.   Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
