Some songs aren't syncing correctly - Iphone

Some songs are not syncing correctly. That means I change the name on Itunes and this change does not affect the Iphone. But that just happens for some songs. So on my iphone 30% of the songs are messed up and disorganized,
I tried to find posts/foruns about it but I couldn't, Seems like a rare problem.
Don`t know how to fix it. It's been more than a year,
Iphone system is up to date (Iphone 4)
Thanks in advance
Aline

What format are these tracks in and what is the original source? Are these downloads from the iTunes Store or were they imported from outside of iTunes?

  • Some songs don't sync! iPhone 5 (ios7.0.2), iTunes 11.1.1

    Last week I tried to sync my iphone and iTunes said I had to install the latest version to do so.
    After I installed the 11.1.1, some songs don't sync with the iPhone.
    On the 'on this iPhone' tab on iTunes it shows this same songs with a circle before the name, and they are grey, not black as the ones that are on the iPhone.
    I've tried to find out what's wrong, even wondered if I did something to mess this up, but I can't figure it out. 
    Help? Anyone?
    The 'on this iPhone' list look like this:

    Hello Laura,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone.
    I recommend trying to resync.  You can resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:

  • How to sync songs that aren't synced to iPhone, and appear on iTunes in gray and next to a circle?

    After syncing my music from iTunes to my new iPhone 5 (and all of my music is either matched or uploaded using iTunes Match), I encountered a problem in which some songs weren't synced to my iPhone, and when I look at my iPhone section on iTunes, on music I can see these songs that weren't synced, in gray and next to them there's a circle.
    Can anyone help me with syncing these problematic ones to the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Nir

    Iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iPhone.
    Put everything on one library.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    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.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • Some song don't sync *no warning*

    So for some reason whenever I sync my iphone some song just wont sync. They're imported into itunes, and show up there, but whenever I sync they don't show up. Yes they are selected to sync, and yes I've tried doing a soft reset and even a restore. I've also tried it on an iphone 4 and the same thing happens. I've reinstalled itunes with no luck. Any clues?

    Couple of thoughts...If these are purchased songs your computer must be athorized for the ID used to purchase them or they won't sync.  Also, if you have checked these songs and they won't sync, confirm that you have checked "sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.

  • HT1296 there are small circles in front of some song & they wont sync ?

    There are small circles in front of some songs & they wont sync to my ipod

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Dotted circle? A square in the circle?

  • My wife purchased some songs from itunes for her iphone.  If I go to sync her ipphone with our itunes library will her purchases be wiped out.  They do not show up in our library on my computer.

    My wife purchased some songs for her new iphone from itunes on the phone.  They do not show up in our library on my home computer.  When I go to add new songs to her iphone from my computer are her purchases going to be wiped out.

    Is the computer authorized for her iTunes account? If not, sign her in in iTunes and then go up to: Store>Authorize this computer. You say "our library", does that mean she does not have her own computer login? Has she ever synced to this computer/iTunes before? Once she is logged in & the computer authorized for her account, you can transfer purchases on her phone without syncing. With her phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Can't copy some songs from old to new iphone

    I have some songs on my old Iphone that are listed on my computers itunes, but aren't actually on my computer (they have a small exclaimation mark by them). I can't get these particular songs onto my new iphone. I get a message that could not transfer because the original file could not be found.

    Of course you cannot get them onto the phone, as you stated, they are not on the computer.
    It is impossible for iTunes to sync content to an iDevice that does not actually exist on the computer.
    Restore the missing files from the backup of your computer.  You do have a backup of your important data, correct?

  • Songs are not syncing correctly

    I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the newest version of iTunes or iOS but songs just aren't syncing.
    When I drag and drop album to my iPod Touch 4G, either some songs stay greyed out and never finish syncing or they appear to be synced, but when I click on them they show the "!" mark next to the song like it was never synced correctly to begin with.
    I wondering if this is a common problem with the newest iOS (5.0.1) or if there might be something wrong with my software.
    My iPod has been freshly restored so I doubt it's corrupt or something. This is also very random because it will load many songs perfectly fine then just start acting up. I'm 100% sure my music files aren't corrupt in any way.

    I manage my music manually as well. What you experienced was probably just a temporary fix. I can get mine to work to if I drag one album at a time to the iPod, but if I start just randomly putting albums on (like I've always done), that's when I start to get issues.

  • Downloaded song won't sync to iphone, needs to be converted

    I bought a song on iTunes and it downloaded to my iTunes, but it won't sync to my iPhone, the message states that the song needs to be converted.  How do I do that?
    Thanks

    Update:  seems to not be linked to just a song. Un-syncing any one of apps, songs, etc. creates the error on the last step of the sync.  Still no error code, but seems to stem from a copy activity of some sort from a purchase made on the phone. Went away briefly when I sync'd the mac with the 'purchased' list in iTunes.

  • All of a sudden selected songs won't sync to iphone

    I've never had a problem syncing my itunes library to my iphone but today when i synced, about 100 songs won't sync and it says "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Song name', were not copied to the iphone "iPhone" because you're not authorized to play them on this computer." What went wrong? How can I fix this?

    Sounds like you may have deauthorized your account. Just play one of the problem songs in iTunes, or reauthorize your computer for your iTunes account. Should fix the problem.

  • Some podcasts won't sync to iPhone

    Got a iphone 3GS running 4.0 iOS and when i synced my iPhone to the iTunes, some of the podcasts wouldn't sync. ALL the podcasts are the same format! all are mp4. I double checked. I have no idea why they won't sync. Any ideas?

    Interesting... I'd be curious to know whether other subscribers to the podcast experience any similar issues. Regarding the situation with playback on the computer, I'd suggest checking to make sure your computer meets iTunes' system requirements, in terms of processor speed and RAM. To locate this information on your machine, right click on My Computer and choose Properties. The details of the requirements can be located by going to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    If you meet the system requirements, I'd attempt a clean reinstall:
    Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    Remove these applications:
    1. Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3. iPod for Windows (may or may not be there, either way is fine)
    4. iTunes
    5. QuickTime
    Restart the computer
    Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
    Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
    Restart the computer again
    Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If this still does not resolve the issue, you could update your video drivers on the computer via your Device Manager, or by consulting the website for your PC's manufacturer.
    You might also want to unsubscribe/resubscribe to the podcast, which should afford you the option to re-download the episodes. If and when you do this, temporarily disable your anti-virus and firewall software to avoid any possible interferences that might be causing you issue.
    Regarding the episodes that will not sync to the iPod, you could try right clicking on the file and choosing the option to Convert Selection for iPod. This ought to give you two copies of the file in iTunes... then connect the iPod to sync it, and see if the episode syncs to the iPod.
