We are having same problems...I updated both our phones yesterday and can't get any of our ringtones to sync back on the phones..Now this morning I have played around a bit with mine and somehow got two of my ringtones back on but cant get the others on. This is confusing, we update our phones like they tell ya and then lose things we have paid for.

After I import a CD iinto itunes,some of the tracks are not in the right order and not all of the tracks will sync to my ipod

I'm trying to import a cd into itunes but the cd tracks are out of order and when I sync the tracks to my ipod touch 4 not all tracks get synced.Can anyone please help me?thank you .

Hello Melissa,
Definitely a little odd that some episodes will sync and others will not, especially since they are from the same season. How the videos were encoded may be slightly difference, so much that your iPod no longer friends them compatible.
I would have a look at this article.

Since these are videos that were purchased from the iTunes store, you won't be able to convert them in any way, so you may be out of luck.

Not all music in iTunes will sync to iPhone4.

I have plenty of open available space on my iPhone4. But for some reason, not all the songs in my iTunes library will sync to the iPhone.
Any ideas??
Help please!
Thanks

apparently you're question is answered because you marked it so ... ?
anyhoo, what's the capacity of your Touch and what's the total size of the 1500 songs ?

All of a sudden not all of my songs will sync with my iPods, why?

I to go sync both iPods today and now all of a sudden random songs will not sync with the device. They play perfectly in iTunes and this has never happened before.

When I take out the battery of the aluminum remote and then put it back the Apple TV will respond with the 3 blinking lights as if it's not paired. But after a while the Apple TV light will not blink or respond to anything from the aluminum remote. Also, the remote worked fine for over a year.
Not sure if this info suggests anything different then a faulty remote, but just wanted to check.
Thanks for your help.

HT4059 Not everything in iBook (iPad) will sync to iTouch , why?

Not everything in iBook (iPad) will sync to iTouch , why?

Do you have any playlists? If so, I think for some reason the playlists may be causing the issue.
I had exactly the same issue (though for my iPhone) however I managed to get around it without blasting my iTunes music folder.
This is what I found:
Initially in iTunes, I had "Entire music library" selected - I had songs that were missing.
First, I unselected "Sync Music" and then did a sync to clear out my iPhone.
After the sync to clear everything out, I went back to iTunes and reselected "Sync Music".
I then selected the "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres".
I then only selected everything in my "Genres". Reason being is that it was the shortest list. I also made sure all my songs were associated with a genre.
I also made sure none of my playlists were selected.
After the sync, I had all my music!
I hope that helps you and anyone else who had a similar problem.

Not all photos in iphoto are syncing to ipad

I hope someone can help me with this! I noticed that not all of my photos are syncing to my iPad (original) anymore even though I have "sync all" checked on the photos tab of my iPad in iTunes. I have recently uploaded pictures from my sd-card onto my MacBook Pro from the little reader slot as well as photos from my iphone. All of these photos are organized into Events in iPhoto. My camera is about a year old so I've uploaded pictures many times before, but there are also pictures from two other cameras in the library. There are pictures from the newer camera that HAVE synced onto the iPad. For example, we have a ton of pictures from our trip to California (one event in iPhoto) last spring in which half of them show up on the iPad and the other half do not.
Also, if relevant, my iphone is about 2.5 years old (holding out for the new version!), and it seems like some of the pictures from the phone are synced onto the iPad from iPhoto and some aren't.
My ipad and laptop both have plenty of space for the pictures so I don't think that's the issue.
Advice I've seen so far...
After searching through these boards and googling the issue, I've read a lot about deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but I don't know if this is really for the same issue.
Additionally, I found a post on another site that mentioned an issue if the images have the same file name. It doesn't seem to matter to iPhoto if the names are the same, but it sounds like it may matter to the iPad (according to the one post that I read)? If that's the case, I don't know how I would ever prevent this from happening because my DSLR will always number the pictures in order, which is what my Point & Shoots did as well. I'm pretty sure that's standard for all cameras. If I were taking a few pictures every so often, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the names of each image, but when I'm loading 500 pics at a time, which is generally the case, I can't rename them all.
Help with this is much appreciated!

If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

Ipod touch 1G (3.1.3): notes problems+disconnects when i check 'sync notes'

Hi everyone, I got this ipod touch 1G and recently upgraded it to the 3.1.3 firmware. Lovely update to the clock and the calculator, but it screwed my notes!
First thing i noticed was that I couldn't open many of my notes; it returns to the home screen when u tap on a note. The notes that could open, opened up to the wrong note! (select note A: note B opens up!)
second thing i noticed was that I could no longer WRITE any notes. This is a major problem for me. New notes just don't get written and i am ejected to the home screen again.
3rd thing: cannot delete existing notes.
4th when i check 'sync notes' in itunes(9.0.8), it just refuses to sync when it reaches notes, saying that "itunes could not sync notes to the ipod because the ipod disconnected"
Have tried:
Restarting itunes +doing hard restart on ipod touch. <fixed the sync notes option unchecking itself.
Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!

I have the exact same problem.
Would really appreciate if anyone could help me get access to my notes again.
Please and thank you

I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

Hello you can help me my ipod or itunes I do not have total spins music on the ipod and not all the photos I've just not very much since I have up loaded the latest version 5.0 please help

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

What i have tried doing: restarting computer, restarting ipod, restoring ipod, creating new smart playlist, when ipod is attached clicking music in the ipods tab menu and selected only the smart playlist.
Please help!

For getting podcasts to sync correctly:

For getting smart playlists arranged by album or artist to sync correctly:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10234242#10234242
And for smart playlists that are top 25 type playlists (although I'm not sure why there's a difference, this stuff is all really messed up) try turning off live updating in your smart playlist settings. And post here if that prevents your playlist from updating when play counts change, I don't use that list and I'm curious.

Amazon MP3 files won't sync in Smart Playlist

For the last couple weeks my Amazon MP3 files are in iTunes, sync to iPod but won't sync in Smart Playlist. iPod Touch 5, iOS 7.0.4
My entire library is MP3. I keep no AAC files and very few iTunes songs because it is an additional step to convert them. My songs are used on multiple devices, including Android and I have a fear of commitment. It isn't that I don't trust Apple (okay it is) but I don't trust anyone. I'm against proprietary anything. If I couldn't keep it in MP3 I wouldn't have an iPod.
I bought an album and several songs and they sync to the iPod but not to any created Smart Playlist. It is kinda weird. I changed the list to only an hour and that made the list entirely the new songs but when I did the sync to my iPod Touch 5, different songs were there. Same number of songs, same display of time. When I look in iTunes under iPod, it says the correct songs are synced. The iPod itself tells a different story.
The songs are on the iPod. I can find them individually and play them, no problem. The Smart Playlist is for songs not played in the last 30 days, better than 3 Star rating. I deleted the Smart Playlist and created an new one with a different name from scratch, same result.
What gives?

Have No Ideas

Why does iTunes delete all my music and then re-download (not all of) it when I sync?

So, I plugged my phone into my PC, and it loaded on the iTunes screen. I then went into the device and removed a couple of playlists from the phone (it had run out of space). When I then hit sync, rather than just removing the playlists and syncing to update anything that needed updated, it bloody well deleted ALL my music and then started downloading it again. We are talking about around 30-50GB of music. Not only this, but it appears to NOT download all the tracks on my playlists so I'm left with half the music I should have.
I have had this happen before and last time it totally screwed up my phone leaving me with the only option of completely reinstalling iOS7. Has anyone else had this happen? Is it fixable? Not only this, but I am aware of "manage music manually" but have no idea where it is or how to activate it. I'm just bloody sick of apple! Why can't they get their **** together and fix these little bugs. I love their hardware but they clearly have too many ego driven tossers programming their software who don't think fixing issues is their problem!
Any help would be most appreciated as it's driving me up the bloody wall! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

IPhone 4, iOS not syncing my SMART playlists of Podcasts

So weird...
I listen to a LOT of podcasts, and I have several smart playlists, with live updating.
I can rate them, and group them by theme, etc. And I don't have to put the whole podcast list (from "Podcasts") on my phone, if I don't want to.
So far, for years, it's been awesome, and flawless.
But now, with the new iPhone, and new iOS, the playlist is no longer on my 1st-Level in "playlists" on my iPhone, it's tucked into a "Smart Playlists" folder (which is where it is in my iTunes, but it didn't next folders before).
Okay. That's fine. It helps fight the clutter... but there's NO SONGS IN THERE !
I have a "Smart Bands" folder, with several bands, and THOSE sync just fine. Those songs are all THERE.
Does this have something to do w/ Podcasts specifically?
Anyone else experiencing this?
AAGH !

Okay, I tried something.
I changed the TYPE of file from Podcast to "music" and now they sync...
But not being able to alias Podcasts in Smart Playlists? That's not cool

Not all photos in Event got synced

I found that not all photos in my events were synced into my iPhone recently, but it used to be ok.
I have already selected to sync "Selected albums......include ALL event" options in iTunes.
The event folder itself was synced but not all photo in the event get synced to iPhone, just some of them. Anyone got an idea on what happen ??
Thanks.
3Gs, 3.1.2
iTunes latest
MacOSX 10.6.2 on MacPro

Well...first a quick question, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? Your profile indicates you haven't installed the combo update, which has a number of bug fixes. You might want to first repair permissions, then install the update, which can be obtained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL958. Once done, repair permissions again & check for any updates to iphoto, if that's what you're using.
Then, lets see if we can fix this mess. I'd suggest first removing ALL photos from your phone by un-checking the various albums or folders you have selected in itunes and hitting the APPLY button. Once you've confirmed that there are no photos on your phone, delete the photo cache on your computer, again, as described earlier. Then launch isync from your applications folder & under preferences select reset sync history. Once complete, reboot your computer, launch itunes, connect your phone, select what photo albums you want and hit apply.
Are any of these photos in a music slide show? If so, try disabling or removing the music BEFORE you try and sync them back.

Not all of my playlists will sync?? not smart playlists??
