Hi everyone, have just got a macbook pro after my pc brokedown, i have transfered my itunes libary from my ipod using senuti but after re syncing my ipod to my itunes on my mac it wont sync some albums, i am not 100% sure because cant remember all the albums i bought from itunes but do think it is those albums not syncing, can anyone help please.

i am not 100% sure because cant remember all the albums i bought from itunes but do think it is those albums not syncing, can anyone help please.
I'm not sure what you mean by "cant remember all the albums." Do the albums appear in iTunes?
If they do not appear in iTunes, they are not in your iTunes library. If they do not appear in your iTunes library, they will not get synced to you iPod, because the iPod is syncing to your iTunes library.
If they do appear in iTunes, but do not appear on the iPod after a sync, make sure you have the iPod set to +Sync music+ and +All songs and playlists+ (on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes).

Some Photos Not Syncing to iPad 1, but issue is not the photos.

Some Photos Not Syncing: When syncing iPad1 64gb IOS 5.0.1 w/HP desktop, some but not all jpgs sync from a folder. (There is ample free space on the iPad.) The issue is not the photo files as I have verified that the jpg's are all compatible both through Adobe CS5 and by successfully getting the photos to sync to the iPad by making a copy of them and placing this duplicitous copy in a 2nd temporary folder, which then sync's all the jpg's to the iPad just fine. Still, it makes no sense why they won't all sync from the main photo folder.
[Folder structure is: Sync My Photos Folder; Subfolder 1 syncs all; Subfolder 2 syncs some; Subfolder 3 syncs all. But if I add a new Temp Subfolder 2a and copy non-syncing photos in it, then I am able to sync all teh photos.]
This is a very inconvenient situation, and it wastes space on my desktop harddrive as I have to have all the photos in the main folder--not the temp folder--to which they ar assinged. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there an explanation or solution for this issue?
Thanks.

ICloud photos in albums not syncing to iPad, iPhone. How to fix?

Hi folks,
I have iPhoto '11, an iMac running Lion, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 1. The iPad and iPhone are both running iOS v5.0.1 .
My problem is that when I take photos on either device, and they go to Photo Stream, I can copy them to albums, but they will *not* sync into that album on iOS. There's 100 photos in one of my albums, 40 of those are iPhone photos or screencaps from my iPad. Only 60 photos make it onto my iOS devices. iTunes shows only that 60 photos - i.e, the photos that I imported into iPhoto, not the ones from Photo Stream.
Is there something I need to do to make this work, or is this a bug?

GarageBand can only sync from iPad to OS X, not the other way around.
You can, however, sync back to an iPad if the project was originally created on an iPad.
Some edits you did in OSX may not be seen on your iPad.
Opening an iPad-version in OS X is a bit awkward.
First, on your iPad tap and hold the file you want to send to iCloud.
As soon as the icon of your song starts to wiggle, tap Upload to iCloud.
In OS X go to File / iCloud / Import GarageBand for iOS
It can take some minutes before you can see your project.

Smrt album not syncing all photos to iPhone

I made a smart album today, and then chose to sync that smart album to my iPhone from iTunes. However, iTunes syncs only 5 photos. Aperture tells me there are 86 photos.
I figured the problem was that only 5 photos had previews generated. However, I have used the Update Preview function on 6 photos, as well as the Generate Preview function on 6 photos. However, iTunes still says there are only 5 photos in the smart album. (I chose 6 photos because in the best case for my test, I would get 6 new previews, while in the worst case I would get 1 new preview. In any case, I would get some new previews.)
When I use iPhoto to "Show Aperture Library", I see only 5 photos as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this smart album to sync? Am I on the right track with the previews?
thanks,
nathan

Huskte,
Yes, other albums sync, although I have only 1 other album selected. The rest of the Aperture -> iPhone integration is done by iTunes's "All projects within the past x days" selection. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they are all there... I will have to check that out.
Good suggestion, however, I'm pretty darn sure it doesn't have to do with the iPod Photo cache. I tested the Aperture sharing capability by looking at this smart album through iPhoto, and it (like iTunes) says only 5 photos are in the smart album. It's something to check when I get back to the mac, though.

Some music not syncing to iPhone 6/iOS 8.0.2

Hopefully someone can assist as i've exhausted all efforts to try and figure this out.
Ever since i switched over to my new 6, i can't get all of music to sync onto the device. The song and artwork appears on the device, but when i try to play, it just skips to the next available song, and then a STOP icon with a circle around it appears. I have tried numerous things, including following some suggestions from other ASC users. The music is in my itunes library, i can play from itunes. Just not from iphone.
I have reset my network settings. Signed Out/Into iCloud. I have done numerous syncs, i have tried wiping the music library, and re-adding all songs. I have even restored my phone without music, and then manually added all the music back in. Still nothing. I have attached an image to illustrate the problem.
I have gone through all my settings, ensured that i'm backing up to the computer, not to the iCloud as i thought that perhaps it was a lack of memory in my iCloud backup causing this. Again, still nothing.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Did someone else experience such a problem with 8.0 and has a suggestion? Please assist. I got a 128gb iphone for my vast music library, and can't really use it.
Thanks.

I have not seen a progress bar that busy since the day I brought my iPhone 6 back home. Whatever I tried, iTunes simply would not sync everything in my library. In the end, the problem turned out to be as simple—but as deadly—as this:
In the current version of iTunes/iOS, there’s a bug that only appears when you have duplicates of purchased songs. When encountered, a duplicate of a purchased song will (almost always) cause iTunes to silently stop syncing.
This is a known-to-Apple issue, and it will be fixed in a forthcoming update. I’m fairly certain it’s an iTunes bug, but as Apple didn’t clearly state which it was, I’m calling it iTunes/iOS. Either way, until it’s fixed, it’s a really bad bug.
Here’s what happens: If you have duplicates of purchased songs, iTunes simply silently stops syncing when it hits one of those duplicates. From your perspective, it will look like everything is working—iTunes never throws an error, and it proceeds through all six (or seven or whatever) steps of the sync process, as seen in the status window of iTunes.
But behind the scenes, nothing is happening—at least, nothing relative to syncing your files. As seen by my troubles, this can be incredibly frustrating and hard to fix.
Continue reading to see how I was able to finally (with Apple’s help) get my devices syncing again—the tricky part is finding all the duplicates, because they’re not all obvious. Also note that if you are not having sync issues, I wouldn’t worry about duplicates—no need to endanger what’s already working well!
The “tell”
If you’re affected by this bug, you’ll find that your iOS device will get some, but not all, of your content. When you look at the device in iTunes, you’ll see something like this:
Those items with the gray dotted circle didn’t actually sync—iTunes told the iOS device the files were coming (so they show up in the list), but the file itself didn’t transfer. What seems to happen is that iTunes will sync up until it hits a duplicate of a purchased song, then it just stops (without telling you it stopped).
The fix
To fix the problem, you have to get rid of the duplicates—note that it’s only duplicates of purchased songs that cause the problem. In theory, this should be as simple as selecting your Music library, then using View > Show Duplicates. I did that first, and went through the list of matches to find actual duplicates of purchased songs.
I found a few, and removed them, but sync still wouldn’t work. Eventually, iTunes wasn’t reporting any duplicates, so I was somewhat stuck. I’d then send my sync log files back to Apple (they had me install a logging profile), and they’d be able to identify the next song that caused the problem. I’d remove that one, and then we’d then repeat this process, one painfully slow song file at a time. Ugh.
Why didn’t iTunes see these duplicates? Because they’re just different enough to not meet iTunes’ criteria, it seems. For example, here’s a duplicate that Apple identified which passed iTunes’ filters:
As you can see, the artist and time are identical, but the title and album are not. Listening to each track, though, they sounded identical to my ear. When you look at the Get Info window for these songs, you can see some other differences (click to zoom, wide window required!):
Notice that the file sizes are slightly different, and that one item has a purchase date while the other does not. These differences are enough that iTunes doesn’t think these files are duplicates, but are close enough to trigger the nasty bug.
The tool
So how do you find these devious semi-duplicates, if iTunes won’t identify them? I turned to Dupin ($15), Doug Adams’ excellent duplicate finder. I tried various combinations of Criteria settings to make sure I was getting all the dupes; this one was particularly effective:
By searching on identical album, artist and track numbers, I could find all those duplicates that had different song titles (the first three songs above, for instance, all have illegitimate dupes). Not everything found would be a true “bad” duplicate, as some CDs are just weird. You can even see that in the screenshot—Counting Crows’ Holiday in Spain and Paved Paradise are both track number 13 on Hard Candy.
Instead of using Dupin to remove the dupes (which it can do), I just switched back to iTunes and decided which one to keep and which one to delete.
After I completed this process—I found about 20 such files, all much older purchases—I was able to sync my iPhone and get 100% of my content transferred—hooray!
A very important heads up
When you first connect your iOS device after clearing your duplicates, you may see this dialog:
If you see this dialog, it’s really important that you click the Don’t Transfer button! If you do transfer the purchases back, you’ll be recreating your duplicates. And that would not be a good thing to do. (Ideally, you’ll have transferred any other legit purchases prior to clearing out duplicates, otherwise you’ll need to redownload them.)
So how’d it happen?
Just where did the duplicates come from? That’s a great question, and one I can’t completely answer. Every duplicate I found was a very old iTunes purchase—most from 2003, none newer than 2009. I don’t use iTunes Match, so it couldn’t have been some automatic thing that just happened. And all the duplicates have notable changes—some have a higher bit rate, some are DRM free vs. protected, some are longer in duration, etc.
It appears to me that, somehow at some point in time, I must have told iTunes to upgrade my collection (perhaps related to the removal of DRM, many years ago?). Those new versions should have replaced the old versions, but for whatever reason, they did not.
Years pass, and there’s no problem, because this bug is apparently a recent arrival. But once the “bugged” version of iTunes was on my Mac, the duplicate songs became sync killers.
Wrapping it all up
This was a long painful process—it’s only been four days since I picked up my iPhone, but solving the sync issue is about all I’ve been doing since then. I thank Apple for the prompt response to my issue, and for working with me to get everything working again. Everyone was incredibly professional and seemed genuinely interested in solving the problem—even on a Sunday morning.
Apple’s “normal” tech support folks were also very good, even if they didn’t seem to have the knowledge to solve the problem. They spent quite a bit of time with me, making sure they understood the problem. They checked in with me yesterday, to let me know they were still working on it.
Regardless of who solved it, I’m just very happy it’s solved…and hopefully this article will help someone else out of the same situation.

Some entries not syncing

Over the last 12 hours today and the same yesterday I have been trying to get all my contact details synced.
Mac Home machine.
My Mobile..Sony Ericsson
Second mobile with another network sim card
Laptop PC
The second phone (the nokia) will not sync with the mac
I can sync both phones with the PC.
I syn'd all data over to the mac and have cleaned up the address book...geting rid of dupes etc.
I now have 795 entries. And all seemed well.
Some data e-mail addresses or phone numbers Will Not copy across.
I can sync all data from mac to Sony phone.
But when I sync to outlook express...a random few entries have data missing..like ..only one phone number, or a missing e-mail address. All 795 contact names come across from mac to Sony to PC, to Nokia,, just some loose random bits of data
Obviously this may not be solely the Mac causing this issue, but although to the eye all the entries in the mac address book appear to be the same...some obviously are not...maybe a formatting issue or something?
Any one come across this before

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

Some album not loaded in itunes match

I have uploaded my library in itunes match but it appears that some albums are missing. Any ideas?

I think the first thing you should check is the metadata of the album. The most common reason things don't show up where one might anticipate is because of the metadata. In particular make sure the Artist and Album Artist are info are entered correctly. Then use Search in the Music app to find the album. It is there, but for some reason it is not showing up in the place you expect it to be.
While in Music app, tap Albums, scroll to the top and tap in the search field, and type the name of the album. Try this again in the Artists view if necessary.

Some albums not listed under artist.

Some albums appear in the Albums list but not in the Artist/Album submenu.
eg; I have 2 albums by Sigur Ros but only one shows when I go:
Artist/Sigur Ros - Album.
I only see one.
I see both under the Album list.
Any thoughts appreciated...

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

Why is there an alert as to some files not syncing when it looks alike everything is synced?

I see a red exclamation point and a notification that some files did not sync, but it looks like everything did sync. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that did not clear up the condition. I did have to add a "Creative Cloud Files" folder… Could that be the issue? Why wasn't it there when the program loaded?

What files? What system? What else? You need to be more specific.

Aperture Smart Album not Syncing with iPhone

Photo albums not syncing correctly

I recently got the iPad 2 and have been setting things up and syncing everything to it tonight.
My photo albums aren't syncing for some reason. I have a specific folder in my photos called "iPad" which contains subfolders with all the photos organized in them but when I sync them to the iPad, there's only 1 album with the several hundred photos and I can't figure out why.
I have my photos organized the same way for my iPhone.... a separate folder called "iPhone" with subfolders and the iPhone syncs the subfolders with no problems at all.
Can someone help with this problem? Am I missing something or is anyone else having this issue syncing the subfolders in the album as well???

I've since determined that the problem is not isolated to iTunes, and in fact the problem lies with iPhoto. As such, I've posted a new question within the iPhoto area:

Some albums not playing on iPod Touch

Hi.
Some of my music from my iTunes library is not playing on my iPod touch. Only the music with album covers are not playing. Strange.
I have tried to delete it all and reload the music, but no luck. Any help?
J

Try a restore from backup. If still problem try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Albums not syncing correctly in iOS 7

I have an iPad Air running iOS 7.0.4 and an iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 7.0.4 and have this problem on both. I have purchsed songs from various albums on iTunes, then bought other tracks from the same album on Amazon MP3 or bought the phsical cd. When I combine them in iTunes, everything is fine.
I'll use The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) as the exmple here. As you see, I have bought three songs. I bought Atlas when It was released as a single on iTunes, then I bought Elastic Heart when the album was released on the iTunes store as well. I bought We Remain on Amazon MP3. All three songs are from this album, I have edited all the info, including the "Sort By" boxes.
Now, when I sync them to my iPad and iPod, it splits the album as If I did nothing.
The odd thing is that they both sync to the same iTunes, I have the same sync settings (sync entire library), yet they sync differently to each device as you can see in the above screenshots.
If someone can help me fix this, or if someone else can confirm I'm not the only one with this bug, I'd appreciate it. It's been annoying me since iOS 7.0 and after four minor bug updates, I'm feeling like Apple completely gave up on the music app. Not going to lie here, it's so ugly and impractical on the iPad. I miss the old album view, when It looked like the one in iTunes. Made a lot more sense for the large screen...

I had exactly the same issue, and ghost tracks were appearing on my phone that were not on itunes. On your phone, tap settings->Music->Show all music (turn off)
Then go back to your Music icon on your phone and voila

Elements 12 Albums not syncing to revel

I had been previously using elements with ps. Everything was syncing perfectly back then. Was then forced to leave ps for revel. Since in elements 11 you can't link albums to revel I have stopped using revel. My album structure in revel matches my elements 11 structure though because of the previous ps app. Now that I saw that elements 12 syncs albums to revel I bought it and renewed my revel subscription. But now albums don't sync. Album photos don't upload to revel. The only way to upload is by checking to sync the entire catalogue. Then my pictures which are not in an album are uploaded. So clearly there is no link between my elements 12 albums and my revel account. So do I need to delete all my photos from revel and start from scratch???

Hi Simon,
I would like to understand what happens when you are logged into your Revel account through Organizer and drag/drop any album from local album to mobile album section. This is the way to mark a album to be uploaded to Revel.
You can read more about this and other functionalities/settings around Revel feature in Organizer at https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/access-media-using-revel.html.
Let me know if going through this article helps you in uploading your photos to Revel.
Thanks,
Akshaya

IPhoto albums not syncing from computer to iPhone

I can't sync selected albums from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPhone.
First I connect the iphone to the Mac, then select certain albums under Photo on the iPhone.
It goes through the entire sync process, which takes several minutes; however, the selected albums do not appear on the iPhone.

You are still under Snow Leopard, and basically iCloud is not supported.
Are we talking about iCloud calendar, or Gmail calendar ?
In any case, I would advice you 2 things :
1 - update to 10.6.8
2 - check iCal parameters for SN http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57511534-263/how-to-set-up-icloud-services- in-snow-leopard/
