Purchased itunes music won't sync from phone to computer

I downloaded a preordered album today onto my iphone 5. The songs will show up under the artist name and album but NOT in (either) purchased playlists. I went to put the new album onto my computer from my iphone and it will not back up. I also tryed to go onto itunes via my computer and get the purchased album from my history but it would not give me an option to download it from the cloud.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution??

i figured it out never mind.

Are you referring to the password for your email account? If so, recovery of that password would be dependent on your email provider. Normally they have a web based access for email, check there and see if there is a "forgot password" link.

My music won't sync from computer to ipod

My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

My music won't sync from my iTunes Library to my iPhone 5s

So my new iPhone 5s wasn't functioning and I needed to get a replacement. I forgot that I hadn't synced the phone to my computer since my old 4S, as I had collected much more music since then. Whenever I try to sync it, it says it is going through the syncing steps at the top, but only takes a few seconds, and then nothing has changed on my phone. Why I apply the changes in order to put the music on the phone, the bar at the bottom (which shows how much data is left and what data that is) that signifies music and gets larger and shows the correct amount of memory it should take up on my phone. After the supposed "syncing", the memory bar goes away.
There is plenty of room for the music to be put on, probably 20 GB or so... Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jack

Purchased iTunes music wont play on cell phone?

I have been downloading from iTunes Music store for the past 2 years, and am aware that they are protected. However, I am able to copy them to CD's to file away and for in my car, but for some reason it is not possible to copy them to my memory card on my Nokia N73? Does anyone know how to over-ride this, as it is legitimate purchased music, but I cannot see the point in purchasing music from iTunes any more if you cannot use the music on my phone? Any help appreciated, thanks..

get a program called total recorder
total recorder will allow you to record what ever comes out of your speakers and then save it to what ever format you want
so for example you want to save your m4p files to mp3
you go into the record amd source parameters of total recorder, select the sound board as your sound card with a stero mix, click recording format and select mpeg-3 with a bit rate of 192 or 256 (the larger it is the more quality the sound but the larger the file) hit ok
hit the record button and hit play on ya music player that is playing the song you want to record
wait till its finished then just save the track and then you can put it and play it where eva you want as its not protected and is just a commen mp3 music file
http://www.highcriteria.com/download/tr53de.exe
thats the link to the 5.3 version
http://www16.fixdown.com/en/218d7f350f095bc5.asp?en=key3
in the table theres pictures of folders click the first one on the left
use winrar to open this file once downloaded (like winzip but its for rar files) and then if you open the developers file in there it will give you key to unlock the program (i think you just click help and then register or something like that in total recorder)
the pro key may work too (pro is better than developers)
if not unlocked you will find you will get a beep of a few seconds placed every 30 seconds of your recording
note by doing doing this will remove the protection from your new recording but the original file will remain protected.
It is not illegal to do this however it is illegal to then sell or distribute the recording in anyway that breaks copyright

My itunes music won't transfer from iMovie to quicktime

I really need help. My iMovie works perfectly but I need help uploading my video to quicktime. I can do that but as it is compressing it says my iTunes music is not authorized. It asks to authorize it and i do about 4 times and it finishes. Then i access it on quicktime none of the music works. I've been trying to compress the video in different ways and it still says my iTunes music does not work. Please help me figure out my problem.

I am also having difficulty with this same thing. It says that my iTunes music is not authorized no matter if I use my own imported CDs in the project or songs I have purchased from the iTunes store. I have to keep getting the same songs "authorized" throughout the time I am working on my project. Sorry to say, I have not figured out an answer as of yet. GOOD LUCK! To the Genius Bar tomorrow!!!

Apps won't sync from iTouch to computer. iTunes recognizes the iTouch and the app content, but the content is grayed out on the computer screen and won't allow me to sync. My iTouch is version 4.2.1 with 6.8GB capacity.

I am on vacation and away from my home computer. I installed iTunes on a computer I'm using at my son's house to enable
me to sync my iTouch, since it has become unstable when I am playing games and continually closes and reverts to the home
screen.
My son's computer recognizes my iTouch and my apps appear on the screen but they are all grayed out and will not allow me
to sync. Can anyone help me please?

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to add content to it from another computer it will erase the contents of your iPod and replacement it with the contents of the new library.
In regards to the unstableness, have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Auto sync from phone to computer but not computer to phone.

how do I auto sync music from iphone to computer, but keep from auto syncing from my computer to the phone? There is not enough memory on my phone to handle everthing on my computer and want to back up purchases made from my phone without having to remember what I bought and manually syncing. Thanks

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
Connect device, right-click on it in the side bar and use transfer purchases.
Edit your sync settings so that a reasonable subset of your library is scheduled to sync to it rather than everything.

HT1296 Need help with sync from phone to computer

When I sync my phone to my laptop, I would like info I entered on the calendar on my phone to be added to the calendar on my computer. I can only get it to sync from computer to phone. I need to update both
any ideas. I have searched the help files and can't find this anywhere

My problem is similar. I just upgraded from the 4S to the 5 and I used to be able to sync the calendar on my iMac and iPhone using iCloud without getting duplicates by selecting/deselecting the appropriate calendars on the respective devices. Everything synced as I entered it.
I'm pretty sure it was working with the 5 until recently...
Today I noticed that an event I entered on the 5 for last week didn't show up on my iMac. When I checked the EDIT screen on the phone to see what calendars were checked, only the calendar for that event was (on the All on my iPhone). All but the Unfiled calendar are checked on the All on my iCloud. When I unchecked and rechecked the calendars under the Phone didn't help. Can't get the thing to sync...
Seems like most people are having problems with Exchange accts, but here I am with my iMac/Phone/Cloud...

Lumi 800 : Turn of auto-sync FROM Phone TO Compute...

Hi All,
does anyone know how can I disable autosync of media FROM phone TO PC in Zune ?
I don't want to copy all of the media to every PC I am using.
Thanks

This just started happening to me this week but I've had the 3G iPhone since it came out. The Apple Tech Support lady said it has something to do with the phone picking up the signal from the closest tower but if that was the case then I would have had this problem in my apartment before. I asked if this meant that someone had built a new Edge tower nearer to me than a 3G one and she didn't seem to understand why I was asking.

My music won't sync from my iTunes library to my Apple device

I have tried various suggestions and nothing has worked. I had 168 songs on my iPhone, but after trying to sync the new music (22 songs) all my music ended up being deleted. I have looked up many videos and I'm yet to find an answer. When I try to sync the music on my iTunes to my Apple device, it just quickly goes through the 4 steps and nothing happens. At the bottom were it says "audio", it will say 200 songs and then after it "syncs" it goes right back to 0. It's like I'm doing the right thing but there is something going wrong along the way. In trying to solve this problem please don't say "Click Music in settings and then click sync music" or "Go to summary and click the 'Sync only checked songs' tab" I have tried all that LoL. There is something actually wrong. Thanks.

Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

IPhone/iTunes music won't sync

I can't get my music to sync to my iPhone. I have iPhone 5 and iTunes version 11 (Everything is updated). I had to delete my music last week to upgrade to iOS 7 because there wasn't enough room on my phone. And now I can't get it to sync back onto the phone. I've tried everything I found in the apple support discussions to no avail. I can't even manage my music manually. It just will not sync to the phone whether it's manual or over wi-fi.

It sounds like you're having the same problems as me.
I've spoke to Apple about it and nothing worked when i spoke to customer service. I was then passed on to the line manager who couldn't help either. I was then told that the problem would be passed on to the engineers to see if they could see what the problem was.
I've not heard a thing from Apple since.
