Problem syncing music from laptop to iphone

hello,
So I've had my laptop and my phone for a while, never had any problem with syncing my phone, until now.
I have installed OS X Yosemite around the same period when I got this problem, maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know.
Anyways, so when i try to sync the music tomy phone, i get a window that says: 'the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchases items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose store > authorize this computer'
So I did that, then i get a window saying: 'This computer is already authorised. Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.'
I've tried deauthorizing and authorizing it again, login out and in again, didn't work.
So i'm asking you, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out, I miss listening to my music with my phone.
thank you,
Sarah

Hi Sarah, 
It sounds like iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer for iTunes purchases, even though it's already authorized. I would miss listening to music on my iPhone in this case, as well. 
Logging out/in and deauthorizing/authorizing were good steps, and next I'd recommend the steps mentioned in this troubleshooting article:

All the best,
Jeremy

  • Problem syncing music from itunes to iphone

    I am having problems syncing my music to my iphone. Itunes goes through the process but my music does not transfer. Any helpful would be great:)

    Go the Applications folder and drag the iTunes.app into the trash.  That's all you need to do with any app on the Mac.  (Easier than that Control Panel thing on Windows . If you want to ensure you delete any related preference files with the app, suggest you use AppCleaner (you can download free here  - http://appcleaner.en.softonic.com/mac .

    how do I sync music from that I have downloaded onto itunes on to iphone 4 ?

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-handd sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to your phone's Music app
    If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do i sync music from iMac to iPhone 5s

    How do I pull / sync music from my IMac to the Iphone 5s?

    No. I loaded a CD to iTunes and when I connected my iPhone and select "Music" to sync, it loaded the music but my ringtones of which I loaded several months ago were gone. I thought that if you synced your device and only selected one group, "music" that would be all it would bother with. I guess I was wrong.

  • Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

    Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

    hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
    i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!

  • Unable to sync music from PC to iPhone 5 after installing ISO8

    I really hope someone can help me as I have been struggling for over 30 hours trying now (in between studying and sleeping). I have been using iTunes for years, and I regularly create new playlists and sync them.  Last weekend I installed ISO 8 and deleted some music off my iphone to create enough room.  After installing it I connected my iphone 5 to my PC using a usb lead, selected the tracks and playlists I wanted to sync and hit SYNC. It ran through the steps 1 to 4 as usual, but then instead of listing the tracks it was syncing at the top (like normal) it just finished, completed, but the tracks are not on my iphone. I have been doing this for years, I am not an expert but I know how to sync music, it is just not working and I really need the playlists for a dance project at college tomorrow.  I have received a couple of error messages, one stating "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk could not be read from or written to" and another about syncing error. I am really desperate, any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated.

  • Syncing music from Laptop and desktop, why can't I do both?

    I read that you can use more than one machine, yet when I uploaded Itunes to my desktop, it says that I can only sync to one computer (my laptop)...will someone explain how this works? I would like to use both, and they are both mines, so why can't I keep the music from my laptop if I decide to sync to my desktop?

    Hi Valerie,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 provides detail about the data that can be synced and merge from multiple computers. So, you can sync and merge Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes on multiple computers.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides a little more detail about music and videos only syncing from one iTunes library.

  • Problem syncing app from computer to iphone & ipad

    I downloaded an app (Red Laser- barcode scanner) on my windows computer. I want to use it on my iphone and ipad but can not sync it. 

    This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
    As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
    There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
    I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

  • Having problems syncing iTunes from mac to iPhone. Help?

    Trying to a sync an itunes genius playlist from mac to iphone. Message appears on iphone that says"88 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more info." Any advice?
    There were 95 songs in playlist, some did transfer while others didn't. Not sure where to look at "itunes for more info".

    Are you syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with MM on your iPhone?
    If you are doing the former, this has nothing to do with a problem with your MM online address book.
    If you are doing the former, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes and launch iSync.
    At iSync preferences, select reset sync history.
    Restart your Mac and try syncing with iTunes again.
