Only checked songs and playlists syncing

I have just put more songs onto my itunes, and this has taken me over my 8gb. I have tried checking the songs to be syncronised but I don't get my playlists, just songs. How can I keep songs in itunes and have selected playlists go to my ipod. Thanks

  • Sync only checked song and videos - not working

    On my iTouch, the only way I can get music on it is manually or through a playlist. The "Sync only checked song and videos" will not work. Am I doing something wrong?

    Under the 'Music' tab (when you connect the iPT, and under the 'Devices'), make sure that 'Sync all Music' is selected, not the 'Sync playlists' option.

  • What's the dif  "sync only checked songs and videos"&"manually manage music

    Can someone please explain the difference between "sync only checked songs and videos" and "manually manage music and videos"
    It probably makes sense to someone that uses many iTunes features but I just download podcasts and music.

    The first option automatically synces the iTunes content which is checked. The second option only transfers content manually dragged to the device.

    Okay , I had "*Manually Managed*" checked in the summery and had restored the iPod to get rid of some videos that wouldn't go away. When I went to Music and checked *Sync Music* Selected Playlists, etc. it appears that the *Manually Manage* box in the Summery un-checked itself.
    Interesting,
    So just to clarify ; When *Manually Managed* is checked you can only drag things into the device from your library (outside the device), using the Music tab within the device will negate this ?

  • My iPhone never had a problem syncing with my iTunes. I check all the songs I want and when I manually connect the phone to the computer via USB, i would select "sync only checked songs and videos". No music will sync now and I've tried everything?

    Normally my phone would connect with my computer and replace all the songs on my phone with all the songs available in my library. Now it seems as if the songs on my phone are permanently there, and nothing from my iTunes library will sync. I tried syncing with another library on another computer and nothing would sync onto my iPhone from that one either. I feel like it's a problem with the phone, not the iTunes, but I'm not sure. Ive been trying things for the last 8 hours. Why won't my music sync to my phone??

    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Click the View option in the iTunes menu.
    3. Select the Show Sidebar option.
    Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

  • How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my iPhone? I've already checked the sync only checked songs and videos box, the manually manage music and videos box. I only want to sync the songs I checked, but it transfers all the music.

    I dont want to transfer all the music just the checked ones. My macbook transfers all the music from my library to my iphone. I dont get it. Please if you could help that would be terrific. 

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • I deleted all songs from the iPad multiple times.  Each time I reconnect and sync all of these songs sync instead of the chosen playlist. Settings on Summary page are Sync Only Selected Songs and Videos. Music only the playlist is checked.

    How to I stop iTunes from reloading what was on the iPad instead of what I have selected?  Summary screen shows "Sync only checked songs and videos"  Music has only the selected playlist.  All songs were deleted from iPad by swiping them to the left and hitting delete (very time consuming).  Sync is set to manual.  However whenever I hit Sync, the old music gets put back on the iPad.  I have had this happen at least 6 times.

    Solved it.  "Automatically fill free space with songs" was checked on the Music page.  Worked perfectly once this was unchecked.

  • Sync only checked songs isn't working

    I recently bought a nano for my husband (I already have an iPod classic). Since our music is pretty similar, I decided to choose the "sync only checked songs" option.
    I thought I followed the instructions appropriately. I plugged in the device and selected it. When the summary came up, under options, I selected "sync only checked songs and videos". Then it did the sync, but that's NOT what it did-- it synced EVERYTHING! Then when I exited iTunes and went back in, the option didn't "stick." Am I doing something wrong? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated because it's driving me crazy

    *I selected "sync only checked songs and videos". Then it did the sync, but that's NOT what it did-- it synced EVERYTHING ...... then when I exited iTunes and went back in, the option didn't "stick."*
    Did you click "Apply" down in the right hand corner of the Summary screen before syncing the iPod and/or before exiting iTunes?

  • Won't keep "sync only checked songs" setting

    I am trying to sync only the checked songs to my ipod. The problem is that when I change the setting to "sync only checked songs," it still syncs the unchecked ones. When I eject my ipod and then reconnect it, the "sync only checked songs" setting is off again. I've tried both hitting apply, and then syncing, and syncing multiple times. Very frustrated. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    It's been a while since this question was asked... maybe you figured it out?
    I found a trick that seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate what needs to be removed from the iPod. You change the "sync checked songs/videos" option back-and-forth. See this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17344534#17344534

  • Only checked songs on playists are burned.

    How can I get around the fact that only checked songs on playlists are burned when doing my backup? Checking every song will wreak havoc on my playlists.

    Well, that's the way checkmarks work, if you read the iTunes > Help > iTunes and Music Store help
    "Understanding the symbols next to songs and other items"
    Can you make a static playlist for burning and only check them there?

  • My computer will not let me click the box in iTunes where it says "sync only checked music and videos." So i cant unsync songs that i don't want on my iPod but still want in my iTunes. HELP?!

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked.

    I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked. So basically it's syncing all of the songs when I just want the checked ones on. This is very frustrating.

    When your device is connected, check the tabs at the top ("Summary" "Apps" "Music," etc. Under the Music one, check to see if "Sync Music>entire music library" is checked. If it is, that may be why all the songs are syncing.

  • I can't sync selected songs and playlists with itunes

    On my laptop - I am unable to tick the "selected songs and playlists" to sync a cd i've imported. It only gives the option of replacing entire music library?

    Is entire music library selected now in additon to Sync Music being selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
    If you have manually manage music and videos currently selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and you want to switch to syncing, you must select Sync Music under the Music tab first followed by selecting "selected songs and playlists" and your selections below.This will erase all music currently on your iPhone first. In regards to manually managing music and syncing music, you can do one or the other, not both at the same time.

  • Sync only checked songs is greyed-out

    iPod shuffle on an iMac.  I have Manually Manage Music checked.  I am unable to check Sync Only Checked Songs because it is greyed-out.  Thus -- no surprise here --- after I sync, ALL of the songs on my iPod play, rather than only the checked songs.  How do I enable Sync Only Checked if it is greyed out?  Thank you.

    I called Applecare and got the answer.

  • ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5.  It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories.  What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

    In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

  • My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists.  I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer.  It won't sync.

    My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores.  Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer.  I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one.  My ipod still won't sync.

    ...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says  "device not found"  Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes.  Apple should do something to fix this.
