Purchased music not syncing from new macbook
So I had a powerbook g4, and recently purchased a new macbook, and firewired my PB to the macbook, and all data, apps, etc came off without a hitch. What I did notice however, is that all the music in my itunes that is purchased will no longer sync to my ipod classic. I've updated the ipod and itunes software. I can listen to and play the purchased songs on my macbook, but won't sync to ipod.
If I hook the ipod up to powerbook, the songs load right away, but I want to use my new macbook for managing all my music.
I've repaired permissions on my macbook 2x, but nothing works.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?
iPhone 4So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -
My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, txstan
Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account. -
Music not syncing to new iPhone 5
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 from the iPhone 4. Everything but my music is syncing. I have tried many times with no luck. I am selecting my playlist since I have too many songs to fit on my phone. Both my iTunes and iOS are up to date. When I go to "music" on my phone it says "no content". I have even purchased new songs in iTunes on my phone and they still don't show up. Anyone know what's going on? I've seen other suggestions of making sure that iTunes Match is off and mine is. Do I need to restore? And will that cause me to lose any of the songs recently purchased?
Restoring the phone will erase everything on it, but if you made a backup of your iPhone 4, then you should be able to transfer all the data to the new iPhone 5. Have you made a backup of your iPhone 4?

IPod Classic 5th generation will not sync with new MacBook
I have had a 5th generation iPod classic that I have been super happy with. I have used it with several PC laptops. Because I have gone through so many PC's, I decdied this year to get a new MacBook Pro. Since my old PC was dying it took forever to get all my music and videos transferred to my new MacBook. Anyhow, I have had no luck syncing my iPod with my new MacBook. I have read several other posts (but mostly older like 2007-2010) that others have had similar problems. Here is a quick list of what I have done/what has happened:
Initially, I would get one of two messages:
'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-124)'
- 'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.'
Two times it told me I needed to use a USB 2.0 port (but I have a new MacBook and was using the newer 3.0 port). I haven't seen that message since.
It actually "transferred" over 4500 of my 7000 items (I have a ton of music that I use for my job) and then just stopped. When it was disconnected only about 200 songs were actually on my iPod.
I've restored it several times.
Seems to "freeze" on random songs or videos and will not continue to sync, even theough the iPod says it's syncing. Then iTunes freezes. I have to "force quit." Sometimes (but not all the time) if I try to re-open iTunes, I get a message that says iTunes is locked.
I thought maybe my cable was bad (it was the original that came with the iPod). I actually spent $20 and got a new one. No luck.
With the new cord iTunes now gets frozen on the 3rd or 4th song it is trying to transfer. Once I disconnect the iPod (I have to disconnect with ejecting because iTunes is frozen and it also freezes up Finder to eject) my iPod makes an awful click sound and I have to start it by toggling and then holding the play/pause button.
I have tried enabling disk, manually controlling music, etc. but nothing helps.
I am sick about it because I rely on my iPod a lot for my job-- and I can't afford a new one since I just bought a MacBook. I think it has something to do with the fact that I got this new MacBook. My old PC was getting so sensitive that I didn't download the latest version of iTunes (but I still had the second latest version).
Any help is appreciated.Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day! -
Not purchased PDFs not syncing from mac ibooks to iPhone ibboks
Hi,
I have Macbook Air with Recently updated mavericks OSX. I have lots of PDF files on my mac (usually e-tickets of airlines) which i drag and drop to ibooks for mac. Now they are not syncing to ibooks for my iphone 5, iOS 7.0.3. The ibooks icloud syncing is ON for both the devices but i am not able to sync such PDFs to and from from and to mac and iphone. Please help.
Regards,
VikasI tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms. -

Purchased Music NOT transferring from ITunes to IPod
AArgh. I have an older version of IPod (non-clickwheel) with the latest vesion of IPod Software (2.2) installed AND ITunes 6.0 AND I've repaired permissions, restarted, all the common troubleshooting actions taken place.
My Purchased from ITunes music is not transferring at all to my Ipod. At one point even though I had the latest software I would get a message saying my Ipod Software was out of date , but that's not true.
????I am having the same problem, but I just got a new 4th generation 20GB because my old one died. So I tried transferring my library onto the new iPod and it won't transfer any of the songs that I bought on iTunes. The error message says that my software is too old, but I just updated it numerous times. What is going on!?!?

Some music not syncing from iTunes to iPod Touch
I downloaded music from two different artists recently. I created playlists for both. I changed the number ordering on the playlists a bit. And now I no longer have those artist's music on my iPod. I have tried:
* Restoring original settings
* Double checked the file types on the music
* Manually added the music back on to the iPod, then synced
* Adding ALL of the music library onto my iPod (hoping those artists will be added too)
Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??Just a stab:
The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
Thanks ... Ken -

My ical is not syncing from my mac book to my iphone, where do I start? thanks
my ical is not syncing from my macbook to my iphone, where do i begin?
It sounds like when you are adding an event to your iCal (on your computer) it is adding it only to your "local" calendar, and not your iCloud calendar.
For example, this is a screenshot of the list of my calendars in iCloud.
Ensure that your iCloud calendar is the default by...
Open iCal
Go to Preferences > General
Select your "Default Calendar" (towards the middle of the window)

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?
You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items. -
My iPhone 4 will not sync my new voice memos from the "Voice Memos" app to my computer. This is frustrating, should not be so hard, can someone please help. I use PC with windows 7 with iPhone version 6.1.3 and iTunes most recent. Thanks.
In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?
