Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

Similar issue:
I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
In case it of any use here are the tracks:
Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

    Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this.  This problem has been happening for around a week now.  At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play.  When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

    Hey brewmaster1967,
    Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
    Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

    Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

    On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc.  When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

    The user guide says:
    Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
    also appear only in landscape orientation.
    Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

  • New Purchased apps will not sync to ipod touch

    Ok, my son just purchased two more apps to put on his ipad touch. they show up in our library, but will not sync. "Sync Apps" is checked, as is "automatically sync new apps". All other apps are checked and are showing in his ipod touch. These two new ones, will not sync. when you check the boxes for them from the apps screen, i get the "revert" and "apply" boxes appearing. I click on "apply" then it changes to "sync" and when I click that, it goes through the sync process, then unchecks the two new apps when done. of course these two apps have failed to sync. Music sync is working fine. Any help out there?

    Are the apps compatible with the iPos e.g. is the relevant iOS version on the iPod (Settings > General > About > Version) and the apps are designed to work on the iPod - an app's requirements are shown on the left-hand side of its description page in the store.

  • New TV show will not sync to iphone 4

    I downloaded a tv show on my iphone 5 but it will not sync to my iphone 4 even though it's in itunes.  It doesn't show as a choose to sync.  I looked at older posts but these used Macs, so I'm not sure how to fix in windows.

    If the show your purchased was in HD, it will likely not synch to your iPhone 4 which doesn't support HD if I recall correctly.

  • Some recently purchased songs will not transfer over to my new ipod nano. Why is this happeneing?

    I just got an Ipod Nano 7th generation. Most of the songs that I had in my library will sync over with some exceptions. I just purchased two songs for my old Ipod touch and when I try to sync my new Ipod with my old library, those songs aren't even recognized. That's amazing considering I bought them from the Itunes store?

    Well usually syncing or dragging should work. I might be able to help but it could be a bit fiddly. You could get your music from itunes and put it into a seperate folder out of i-tunes then drag it into your ipod from there? I'm not sure but you could try.

  • Purchased movie will not sync to iPhone

    why does itunes say I am not authorized to sync a movie i just purchased on my macbook pro to my iphone 4?

    Under the Video section i can only transfer rented movies, but I have my settings to manually manage music and videos 9 (I don't know if that has anything to do with it, or if that helped), and I was able to transfer the movie from my library by selecting it and dragging the movie to my iphone in the library menu bar in itunes (the list on the side). But the iphone has to be connected to show up on that menu list.

  • I got a new ipod and i tried to transfer my songs but some of the songs will not work on it

    I recently bought a new ipod and i tried to transfer my old songs from my old ipod onto it, but some of the songs will not transfer even though i bought them through itunes. do you know how to fix this problem?

    So you are saying that some songs do sync to the iPod from this iTunes library, right?
    What is the source of the non-syncing songs? What is the format? Is it different from the songs that do sync?

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

  • HT1325 Purchased album fine then purchased song will not play

    Purchased album fine then purchased song will not play

    I had an album purchased on my iPhone5 that appeared in my iTunes library on my computer (Windows), but it would not play, didn't list the songs either.
    I finally found a place in the Edit menu to update my settings:
    Edit
    Preferences
    Store
    automatic downloads
    check music, apps, books
    Then I resynced my iPhone and the album showed up.  We also have an iPhone 4s and I was able to finally sync the album to that phone too.
    This is all in iTunes 11   Hope this helps!

  • My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

    My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.  My two laptops, and Ipad are already on.  I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • TS3297 I purchased an album and some of the songs did not download completely. How can i fix this?

    I purchased an album and some of the songs did not download completely. How can I fix this?

    I have the EXACT issue as Hatchs88 and the response doesn't help. I found a 3 of 4 missing songs as "song".tmp file in the music directory but I can't do anything here... The iTunes store just says purchased and it doesn't the songs show up in the purchased list either. What's funny is that I was able to download on an iPod touch but I cant get it on my PC...
