Only part of my music library appears when syncing my iPhone 4

My iPhone 4 was restored by iTunes and now it will not allow me to properly and/or completely sync my phone with my iTunes. How do I solve this problem? Any help would be great as I only can play approx. 20 songs of my 2100 + library. 

maybe  you set it to sync custom or to sync a playlist
each ios device connected to itunes get their own sync settings
i sync iphone, ipod and ipad each sync different stuff so likely the same holds true for your old iphone and your new one

  • Music library won't sync to iphone, how do I clean up my phone?

    My iphone music is a mess and won't sync with itunes. 
    I have tried -
    Downloading all manually that could from the cloud.
    Downloading all purchases manually.
    Turning of show all music.  *with a power off
    Manually deleting all songs. 
    Nothing works and itunes will not sync. 
    Most of the songs are greyed out when I show my iphone in itunes.
    How do I wipe out all the music on my phone and start a fresh sync?  Or second question, do I just need to do a restore?
    I have been struggling with this since December and am ready to scream!

    If you rent from your iphone, then you cannot watch from any other device.
    Why can you not download it to your iphone?

  • How to copy only part of the music media folder and library to another Mac

    Dear friends,
    I run iTunes in Mac OS. The iTunes music media folder is now located in an external HD because it´s quite large (2T). The problem is that I´got a second Mac and I´d like to copy -in this second Mac, only part of my music using only its internal  HD (300 Mb) . How can I do this copy while preserving art and play-lists?
    Thanks in advance

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • I have a computer with windows 8, when I plug in IPOD Touch, get message can't download pictures, no music library appears. Any suggestions?

    I have a computer with windows 8, when I plug in IPOD Touch, get message can't download pictures, no music library appears or icon. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds or until Apple logo appears
    Make sure you have Itunes downloaded
    Make sure Itunes is the latest version
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • Why are podcast being synced as part of my music library?

    I think other people are having similar problems, but I can't seem to find a topic that's exactly the same as mine, so apologies if this is a repost:
    I have a 20" Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I have a 4GB iPod Mini, and a Music Library consisting of 267 songs (1.6 GB total), and several podcasts that I subscribe to. When I attached my iPod to this particular Music Library and set the synchronization settings, I checked the box under Music for it to sync my entire library (since it was well under my 4 GB limit), told it to sync only the most recent episode of 3 podcasts, and disabled disk use, contacts and iCal.
    When I clicked "Apply", I was told that there wasn't enough space on my iPod to sync everything, and did I want to turn off Podcast syncing. It struck me as odd (there was no way that three podcasts were taking up the remaining 2.4 GB of space), but I clicked OK anyway. THEN I was told that there wasn't enough space to synchronize my entire music library, and did I want iTunes to select what songs to copy. Befuddled, I clicked OK, and then saw the progress meter copying 1 of 309 songs. This was VERY strange, since my library window showed only 267 songs and 1.6 GB.
    As I watched the progress, I saw it copying episodes of my podcasts! Why is iTunes recognizing my podcasts as part of my music library when they don't show up in my library window? I checked my library folder, and all my podcasts are within the "podcasts" folder, and inside their respective folders on top of that. Is this a bug or a "feature". The only way I was able to get the sync to work correctly was to tell iTunes to only sync my playlists, but that didn't work completely, because there are items in my library which aren't in specific playlists.
    Any insight that you could offer would be appreciated. TIA.

    Figured it out...make sure your default "smart" playlists are set to ignore "Genre > Contains > Podcast". Otherwise you end up with Podcasts in your playlists that you didn't know were there.

  • Some music videos appear twice on my iPhone but not in my iTunes library. How can I resolve this?

    Hello everyone.
    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and I am using the latest version of iTunes 10.5
    I have downloaded three music videos by the same artist. The three videos appear in my Music library in iTunes
    On my iPhone two of the videos appear twice with the other one appearing once as it should do. I have played all of these videos and they work fine. It is just annoying that two out of the three music videos I have are listed twice on my iPhone.
    Would anyone be able to help me resolve this issue?
    Thank you.

    In the iTunes Store click Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right.

  • My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

    My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.
