Problem syncing music to slideshow

Hello,
I use iPhoto 6.06. I am trying to set a slideshow to music--specifically, to a playlist I've created in iTunes. However, when I click on the "music" icon at the bottom of the slideshow window, and then click on iTunes, none of my slideshows appear--only individual songs! And when I try to select all 5 songs at once, that won't work either. All of the manuals say to select the playlist, but how do I get my playlist to appear?
Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!

Bless you, Kimball Jones--your post from November 2005 saved me!

Problems syncing music....

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

Problems syncing music with iPhone

I have an iPhone 5, 64GB running iOS 7.0.4. Problems with syncing music. Please read all
For a while now I have been experiencing some difficulty with my music on my iPhone. There were a few purchased songs and some non-purchased songs (from CDs etc) that weren't going on my iPhone when syncing.
So tonight I tried to fix this and I selected to not sync all music (so all the songs could be removed from my phone) and then re-sync it all. This gave me a problem as it said 124 of my songs were not copied (these song files are definitely not corrupt or anything, they were on my phone before I synced this evening). So I tried to do the whole sync once again but I don't know what has happened this second time...
My phone is now showing 20GB of 'Other' data (this wasn't on there before). I cannot add hardly any of my music as apparently my phone has no space left (I can assure you less than 2 horus ago I had about 28GB of free space, and that was when I had my 28GB of music already on my phone!).
So yet again I try to re-sync my music (when I do this I tick/untick the 'Sync Music' checkbox in the Music tab of my iPhone in iTunes). I want to try and remove all the songs and then re-add them again. But I cannot remove the songs. There are 5 songs (I purchased these songs from iTunes store on my Mac) that will not delete from my phone. I delete them manually on my phone but as soon as I sync my phone (even with the Sync Music box UNticked) they go straight back on there!
I'm normally quite good with this stuff but I'm at a complete loss. It has been stressing me out for the past 2 hours and now it's worn me down I just have nowhere else to turn.
1) How can I remove those 5 stubborn songs from my iPhone? Perhaps answers to later questions means I might not have to do this but I'm a little OCD and knowing that there are these 5 songs that for no reason won't remove themselves off my phone is annoying.
2) How can I check or fix the 20GB of Other data? There is definitely nothing there.
3) How do I re-sync all my music? I have 4268 songs but when I tried to re-sync the first time only 4125 went on. The rest didn't but I don't know why. The files are fine, they were legally purchased etc. In fact I have one album with 100 songs, only 4 of them were synced that time. Randomly 96 of them had no space to sync? Why would only some of them go on my phone?
4) Any help whatsoever! I'm at a loss of what to do This has troubled me ever since 7.0.3.

If I restore as new will all my music, contacts, apps, message history, etc be deleted?
Okay before I try that I had one more go at syncing...
I went to settings and usage and deleted my music that way. I re-synced my phone, all my music went on except that the first 49 songs, under Song List, all play the same song. When you click on any of the first 49 songs in the song list they all play the same song (not the song they should be playing). I deleted this one song off my iTunes but it has had no effect. When I uncheck sync all songs then my Music shows No Content (which sounds good). But when I re-sync, all my music goes on (apparently) but I have these 49 copies of this one song that shouldn't be on there. The file is even no longer in my iTunes Media folder on my Mac. I guess there must be something corrupt on my phone, although I'm not sure how it has occured.

Problem Syncing music to iPod....PLEASE HELP!!!

When I click on the sync ipod icon a warning message pops up saying that the songs can't sync because all playlists selected to sync no longer exist.
What can I do to fix this problem???

This problem arises when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

Problem Syncing Music

Hello.
I got a 4th generation iPod Touch back in December 2011. It has always synced perfectly, music, apps, etc. Everything was fine, up until about a month or two ago.
It had the music I had previously put on it back when it was syncing fine, but now it refuses to add new music.
Things are all checked. There's room on the iPod. I made sure the music files are not corrupt, and so forth. Everything should work.
What I've found is that when I try to sync new music to it, it just shows up in the "Music" category of my iPod, but it's grey, with that greyed-out "syncing" symbol next to it. I'm honestly not quite sure what this has to say about the songs.
The only way I've found I've been able to add any music to it is to restore my iPod completely. I've done this a few times in the past month, and I assume you can see why there would be trouble with having to do this every time I want to add new music, even if it is just one song.
Other than having to restore it, there have been a few times where if I connect my iPod to my computer after disconnecting it (with the greyed songs still on the iPod), it will sync them in the sync it does when it first connects to iTunes.
However, recently, it hasn't even done that. iTunes will freeze during "Step 4 of 5: Determining Apps to Sync", and if I leave the page, it won't let me access it for a while. When I am able to return to iTunes, the sync is over, but the songs have not synced to my iPod.
Like I said, the songs are all checked. I've tried changing from Manually selecting music, to just Syncing music, and neither work. The music files play in iTunes and are fine. Could it possibly be something with my iPod's software? It's up to date now, with iOS 6.
Can anyone help me with this?

Disable your security software. Reinstall itunes with security software off or removed. Ones that commonly have to be removed completely are Mcaffee, Kaspersky, AVG, Malwarebytes and Free Norton. The others usually cause less problems.

Problems Syncing Music - iPod data erased

I have a friend who has a 60GB(?) Fifth-Generation iPod that she purchased a few months back, and she's been having some trouble figuring it out.
The most recent (and only, at the moment) problem she is having involves syncing music. Whenever she goes to sync her new music from he library, her iPod wipes itself clean of all files. It was working perfectly fine before.
How can she go about fixing this situation? She has the most recent version of iTunes and her operating system is Windows XP.
Thank you.

You cannot auto sync with more than one computer, well yea you can, but you've experienced what happens when you do. You CAN however manually manage your music and get music from multiple computers. Please see this article about doing that:

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 .

ITunes 10 Problem Syncing Music

Hey,
I just got a laptop with windows 7, and I've owned a 2nd gen iTouch for quite some time. I downloaded iTunes 10, and I don't know if there's a problem, or if it's just bad. Syncing my music is harder than ever to do now. Before with iTunes 9.something it did it on it's own, but I have to select junk?
Can someone tell me if there's a problem with it, or if I'm dumb.
And if I'm dumb, could someone please tell me how to sync music to my ipod from iTunes 10.
THANKS :D!!!

Ipod shuffle - problems syncing music

Just bought an ipod shuffle, have loaded my music on itunes and clicked sync music, it says this is done but there is no music on the device!

You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing. This document describles those methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window. However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill). If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.
FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual, from this support web page for the shuffle

HT1386 Problems syncing music playlists on iPhone 6

I can't sync music playlists on my new iPhone 6. Only a portion of files get transferred and each sync just seems to scramble the results. All of these playlists sync on old and new iPods and my iPad mini. I don't use iCloud to store music; I've got too many files for that system. I sync directly with my Mac. Suggestions?

hi
i was just creating a playlist when the Done button disappeared. i then tried to make it happen again and i did:
-play a song
-then make a new playlist
-select some songs for the playlist
-wait for the song to change and when it does select some songs to add from the artist/album section
-the song change turns the "Done" button to "now playing"
-now you've gotta quit the app because there is not way to finish adding to playlist or change the song you're listening to D:
here are photos before and after the song changes, note the text at the top right of the screen:
After the button changes there is no way of getting the 'done' button back so you have to quit the app
i am also on an iPhone 6

Having a problem syncing music and I-tunes...please help!!!

Hello,
I am new to this and will try to explain it best as I can. From what I understand about syncing, the music on my Iphone will sync to the music library once I plug my phone up. It does this automatically. That is fine and what I want it to do.
However, for some reason, I have 173 songs in my library and I want all of them to sync to my phone, but only 135 of them are doing so. I don't know where the problem lies.
Please help.
Thanks.

Does an error message show that says why certain songs can't be synced? Sometimes it can be because the songs aren't authorized on the computer (if some came from a different iTunes account for example). Try playing one of the non-syncing songs in iTunes to make sure it works. Also, check the size of your files. Depending on who the songs were imported into iTunes it's possible that the files take up more space than your iPhone has available. Example would be if all of your songs were ripped from CD's and were large WAV files. If that's possible try converting the songs in iTunes to a smaller bitrate. If none of that helps you may need to try restarting or resetting your iPhone....or maybe even restoring it. Not sure if this will apply to you but it can't hurt to look at it. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474

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:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Problem adding music to slideshow in lightroom 5

In Lightroom 5, i am having trouble with putting music to the slideshow. I can upload the music, however it won't let me check the duration of the song, and therefore add it. Any help would be great.

Don
Then the problem is at the iTunes end. I would post that on the iTunes forum.
Regards
TD
