Not all songs sync from computer to itouch

I recently upgrade my iTouch to the new iOS 5.0.1 software (not sure if that was relevant to tell), but I have noticed it will not sync all my songs from my computer to my iTouch, for example, on my computer it says one playlist has 55 songs, however when it syncs to iTouch only 15 songs are under that playlist. This has occured in more than one playlist.  Can someone please help?!?!
Thank you!
PS: before you ask...yes, those little boxes are all checked

See here for information about transferring songs, and follow these instructions.

  • Not all songs transferred from iTunes to iPod

    iPod touch 3G, intel iMac (Leopard).
    The iTunes library has just been rebuilt with all files present and correct, cover art etc and AFAIK all tunes play OK. (Took ages, but it's all good!)
    1. Removed all songs from iPod
    2. Updated OS to 5.0.1
    3. Synced all music to iPod from iTunes. At the start I got a message saying that "This computer is not authorised to play some songs and they will not be transferred". However the iMac is of course authorised, and all the songs were either bought through iTunes on the iPod and transferred (over the last 2 years) or bought direct to the iMac, or ripped from personal CDs.
    4. Unchecked "sync all songs", switched to "manually manage music" and put them on manually. Same result but without the above message apperaing.
    There's 7503 songs on iTunes and only 7431 on the iPod.
    Two questions:
    Does anyone know why this should be?
    Is there an easy way of finding out which songs are missing? I've checked the ones I remember purchasing on the iPod originally, and they're all there.

    You go to iTunes>file>move folder 2 library then you slect the folder your songs that you downloaded r in and click ok.
    And more you can follow this tutorial about how to tranfer music from computer to iPod.
    Cheer.

  • HT4235 not all songs syncing to ipod nano

    Good day. I have noticed not all my songs are being synced to my ipod from laptop itunes. They are all checked and purchased. Any ideas ? Thanks

    Hey nanonano27,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues syncing music to your iPod nano. The answer to your question will stem from how you have set up your iPod nano to sync: Automatically, Automatically with Selections, Manually, Autofill. I have included an article that outlines these options:

  • ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync

    Hi,
    I've been having this problem for many many years.
    I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod.  I have my iPod set to sync the entire library.  All songs in the library are checked for sync as well.  I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt  When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
    Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue.  As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
    I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them.  Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync?  Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible?  Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
    I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates.  I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
    I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results.  I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results.  I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results.  I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings.   All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats.  I don't use playlists at all. 
    If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know.  I don't want to have to check every single file.
    Thanks!

    So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
    They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
    As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose!

  • Not all songs syncing

    I have 14 more songs on my itunes than that sync onto my iphone, I know specific examples of some of the songs that wont sync - they work on itunes and I don't get an error message when I sync my iphone. It's on automatic sync and I definitely have space for them, what's going on?
    I was hoping it'd be fixed with the new iOS 5 update but it wasn't

    I have a new orange shuffle, and when I try to
    Autofill from a 145-song playlist, only 142 songs
    sync. There's plenty of space left for 3 more songs,
    too. Any idea why?
    Do a File>GetInfo>Summary on the 3 songs...

  • Not all songs transfering from ipod to itunes?, Not all songs transfering from ipod to itunes?

    Hi! Basically I have all of my music on my main pc, but I've just got a laptop and I would like to transfer my music from my itouch to my laptop, but it's only transferring 178 out of my 688 songs, does anyone know how to solve this?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is ituens purchases.
    The ipod is not a backup device.  Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?

    Just got through flailing with the same problem within the hour.  It turned out I had music purchased with an earlier Apple ID in iTunes.  My solution was to authorize the computer in iTunes with the previous ID and then all music would sync.  Might try that.

    When I sync with my iPad2, not all playlists come from my computer to the ipad - why?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

    Are the songs authorised to the same account? 
    Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail.  You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name.  Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
    To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes.  It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
    If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD).  You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

  • Not all photos synced to cloud

    This is a question about a problem where not all my photos from my Photo library are syncing to the cloud.
    I have 41.246 photos in my Photo app library. I enabled cloud sync and I have a 200Gb plan with 130Gb free storage.
    Only 28.349 photo's are synced to the cloud.
    I learned that only consolidated photos will be synced, but when I select all photos in my library and select Consolidate ... from the menu I get a message that all selected photos are already in the library.
    What am I missing?

    - If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
    - If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
    - If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream.  You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

  • Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

  • Not all songs downloaded - help!

    I recently upgraded from a 2Gb nano to a 8Gb (red) nano. Everything works fine except not all songs have downloaded. I have tried some of the bewildering suggestions but still have the problem. I have the latest version of itunes loaded. Anyone able to help

    I have solved the problem myself!
    The songs were all downloaded but did not show up. The reason was that if there are a few songs by the same artist and the details of album are only entered for some of the songs the others do not appear under that artists name. If you look under 'Songs' all songs are there. Strange but true!!
