Since ios5 my purchased music is showing on itunes but won't sync to my phone

Hi
Since dowloading ios 5 I've had loads of sync issues with my iPhone 3GS.
The latest is that any music that I've purchased, though showing and playing in iTunes will not sync to py phone, even though some of it was purchased using my phone.  Any help please?

with your device connected go to iTunes > Music > click the sync music button, see if this helps.

  • My alert tones I purchased are on itunes but won't sync back to my iphone.

    I tried to uncheck the alerts and then sync... then re-checked them and sync'd again but that only fixed my ringtone problem. Still cant see my alert tones... it's so frustrating to pay .99 for something and have it disappear... They are on my itunes under ringtones... and also in alerts some of my ringtones werent showing up. This happened once before and I re-purchased the alerts but to have them on itunes tells me... there is a way to get them back to my iphone. Can someone help me... I am usually pretty tech savvy but this is perplexing me.

    Hope you don't mind me crashing your thread but I've ripped a movie and my DVD settings are the same as yours, I followed instructions on the Handbrake website and my picture settings were 320 x 100 and something (it was widescreen) and it still doesn't work. Says it cannot play on my iPod. It's a MP4 format and the H.264 setting as you have too. Don't know what I did wrong. It plays in iTunes and on Quicktime.
    I'm trying to 'convert' it right now in iTunes but not holding my breath

  • Movies & TV shows from iTunes Store won't sync to TV

    I have a late 2009 TV 160GB and I have recently noticed that all of my movies and TV shows that I have bought from the iTunes store are not on the TV anymore. My computer s authorised and I am logged into my iTunes account on the TV. I have tried erasing it and restoring it's factory settings but nothing will work. I have made sure that all the checkboxes on the movies and shows are checks and have re-synced the TV and they are still not appearing. Please help, this is getting really frustrating.

    Could you possibly be viewing the titles in an 'unwatched' view.

  • URGENT I just purchased like 100 new songs on itunes and it bought it and downloaded it onto my itunes but instead of syncing onto my phone(even after it had went through a full sync) it didnt show up on my phone. it showed up greyed out in my library?!

    Please help im desperate. i recently purchased like 100 new songs and it purchased downloaded and synced them to my library and phone, (or so it said), but when i checked my phone they had not been downloaded onto my phone. So i then checked my library and on it every song had been greyed out and had a tiny dotted circle next to each of them. i have tried everything and dont know what else to do. please help asap.

    Hi Kmoulton,
    Give this a try:
    1.     Hook your device up to the computer you sync with and open iTunes
    2.     Select the Music tab on your Device Profile screen and de-select all of the songs that should have sync'd but did not. If you have the Sync Entire Music Library option selected, deselect that.
    3.     Sync
    4.     Go back to the Music tab and re-select the items you want to have sync'd to your device
    5.     Sync again
    6.     See if that clears up the dotted circle issue and also syncs the songs to your device
    Cheers,
    GB

  • I purchased a TV show from itunes, but it never downloaded!

    They charged me the $1.99, and as it was downloading the program "closed unexpectedly", I reported the problem to apple and all, but I want my TV show or my money back! I also searched for the show on my hard drive and no such luck. I haven't received a receipt yet in my e-mail, but i did get something saying "thank you for your itunes purchace". Should i go to the mac store? Is there somebody who can help me?

    Fill out a customer service request, they will respond. I had a problem with my account and Apple was very helpful.
    BTW... the store is still down.

  • IPod Touch 4G shows in iTunes but won't start a session with PC

    So.. I do get an error message saying that a session could not be started with the iPod, or as it says in Swedish "iTunes kunde inte säkerhetskopiera iPod-enheten "namn's iPod" eftersom en session inte kunde startas med iPod".
    The iPod does show up in iTunes and I can view all my music, apps and stuff, but when I try to sync it I just get the error message.
    Why is that?! I haven't dared to do any drastic things such as rebooting my PC or iPod since I know I'll probably loose everything on both, but I did restart everything, erase the earlier safetycopy of the iPod and such.
    I have tried to google an solution but have only found similar questions with no answer.
    Help me out, please! The iPod is only 2,5 months old, this can't be the end!

    Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
    If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
    If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

  • Just upgraded to ios 6 and newest itunes (first time for  4g ipod touch I've had for years).  After the restore, it no longer syncs when plugged in. My music is in itunes, but won't sync to my ipod.

    Please help.  I finally gave in to updating software because my apps wouldn't update without io5.  I ensured all of my music and apps and pictures were listed on  my iTunes so that when it restored it would all sync back.  Well, my ipod is restored, and my pictures are moved over, but my apps are not.  I guess I can go and re-install individually, but what is the purpose of having them on iTunes??  Also, NONE of my  music is on my ipod and there does not seem to be a way to move it from iTunes. 
    Also, at the top right of iTunes where it has the spots for Library and iPod Touch.  If I click on the iPod, the icon just disappears!  iTunes used to have a column on the left side that listed my ipod and I could move things to it (like my music).  Is this how the new version is or am I just missing something?
    I am so frustrated right now after spending hours....

    Ignore.  I figured it out:)

  • Do I have to manually download all 322 songs that I purchases from Amazon? They are available in ITunes but won't sync.

    I paid Apple for ITunes Match and it has backed up my Amazon mp3 songs
    However it will not sync them to my IPhone 5s. I even manually opened the Amazon
    Folder so that the songs are found in ITunes but they will not sync. Anyone know of a
    Solution other than scrolling through 1600 songs and manually downloading more than
    300 songs?

    iTunes will only sync media to an iDevice that is physically on the computer.
    The implication is that the media is in fact on the computer, so is that media added to iTunes and is it selected to sync?

  • Apps showing on computer but won't sync to i-pod

    Hope someone can help .... I had a 4th generation i-pd touch for xmas and couldn't wait to get started with apps. I have downloaded several free apps which appear in my i-tunes on the computer but when I attach the i-pod it says it is syncing but the apps don't appear on my i-pod
    HELP!! I'm not very tech savvy and don't know what to do ....

    When the iPod is connected to iTunes,you should see the Summary screen. Just along from the title Summary you should see the Apps pane. Select that and check the box to Sync Apps. Make sure you actaully Sync after that.

  • I purchased a tv show from itunes.  While downloading from the store it shows in the video list, when done, it disappears. what is happening?

    I purchased a tv show from itunes.  I can sync to my iphone. I tried to sync to ipod touch 4gen. Sync seems to be fine, but the video doesn't show up.  While downloading from the store it shows in the list, when done, it disappears. what is happening?
    I finally figured it out.  I had the parental controls restricting videos on my son's ipod.  Once I changed the restrictions, the videos appeared.

  • I do I make purchased music not show up on my iPhone?

    I have purchased music through iTunes on my iPhone. On the computer I convert the MP4 of the purchased music into MP3 and put it in my own created music folders and put back on the phone in my playlists. The only thing is is that the music now shows up as the MP3 I made it into and still as how it appeared when I purchased it, so it's on my phone twice. I can't figure out how to remove the purchased song off of my phone. The purchased MP4 isn't in any playlist so I can't just unsync the playlist to make it go away. Nothing I know to do makes it go away.
    Photo 1 shows The Cadillac Black (now The Cadillac Three) album that I purchased through iTunes on my phone AFTER I have converted the files to MP3 and placed them with the rest of my previously had music before my iPhone. Photo 2 shows how the purchased music still shows up on my phone. You see that Days of Gold by The Cadillac Black is on my phone twice, and the same goes with the Zac Brown Band album I have purchased also, which all of those songs are on my phone twice.

    Is the "Purchased" playlist selected to sync to your phone under the Music tab in iTunes?

  • I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everythi

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.
