Some songs not synching

I subscribe to several podcasts featuring a song of the day. Because I want to listen to the songs with other music (e.g., in a playlist), I convert those podcasts to music by changing the Media Kind on the info screen. As far as I know, this doesn't violate any copyrights, rules, etc. Unfortunately, sometimes these songs won't synch with my iPod after they're converted, unless I change them to an Apple lossless version. This consumes more space than I would like. Any thoughts as to what might be happening?

Forget lossless, I doubt that podcasts require such quality. Try to convert them (Advanced>Create mp3 version) to mp3 or aac.
Go to "Edit-preference-general-import settings" and choose the sound quality that will satisfy you. 192 kbps is more than enough. Even 128 can be OK.
After conversion you can check Media kind, correct tags or join the track to any playlist - this is a normal song now.

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
Maybe a screenshot.

I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

Some songs not found in same album, same directory!

But I can "add file" no problem. This happens whenever I move the music directory or move the directory (I am careful to copy the directory exactly).
So, what is happening in Itunes that some songs are simply not found, although nothing has "relatively" changed except the path? I give it the new path and update the directory.
The downer is that yes you can delete and re-add but you lose all your hard work on the rating system.
Anybody figure all this out?

One way is to select all the tracks and set them to be part of a Compilation (Get Info on all the tracks, then go to the Options tab). The album will then show in the Compilations in the Artists column of the Browser and not under a bunch of artists.
Or you can edit the Artist or Album Artist field so that the information is the same for all tracks. Compilations is probably the most common method for soundtrack albums and such, though.

Iphone 6 Offline/Local Songs NOT Synching! HELP??! [Done Troubleshooting Steps]

I have had Spotfiy for years now. I really value the offline mode and being abel to download songs offline as well as adding local files. When I first had it everything synched fine as long as I had it on the same wi-fi. Every since I got an Iphone 6 the offline synching has been very shoddy. I recently got a newer iphone and synched my offline playlist. Many Local songs did not synch and other songs despite being marked for offline didn't download. When I download playlist offline it's like the app chooses what to download. There is no devices tab anymore so I've lost more control on download offline. I have taken these steps:
- I resynched everything. I even tried downloadign at a high quality.
- I have both my iphone opened to spoifty and my Laptop opened to spoifty. They are on the same wi-fi
-The firewall has been editied and my wifi ports are opened.
-I've tried redownloading spofity -I even made a playlist called "Local Songs" for all the local songs I want offline. Still not the whole playlist synched.
I have no idea what else to do and I can't stand not being able to synch everything. I tried looking for a way to contact support but nothing. I was only able to make this thread. Any SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!

Hey there,
so are you a premium subscriber? You need to put your downloaded local files into a seperate playlist and make it available offline on your iPhone. To do so, you need to be on premium. The songs will sync automatically after enabling the offline button on top of the playlist.

Some songs "Not Found"

Had to do a complete re-install of 10.5.6 last month (long story).
Brought over my iTunes Library & Preferences from back-up. All seemed fine. There are all my tunes & cover art. Things working well.
After a few weeks, I noticed that some songs I clicked to play would get an exclamation point at the beginning, and I'd get an alert dialogue saying "iTunes cannot find the song ______. Would you like to find it?", or something to that effect. I can easily navigate to the library of songs, click on the song, and tune is reconnected.
What I cannot figure out is how to re-link an entire CD without doing each track individually (a pain). Or is there a way to re-link all the errant tracks?
This seems to only affect tunes burned from CD, not my iTunes downloads. And even then, not all the CD burns. At this point, I've gone through most of the A-C albums, re-linking by hand.
A shortcut (without looking my play count) would be appreciated.
Cheers!

This might be a good thread to watch. there are others with this problem too and have not done a re-install:

Sync causes 'some songs not authorized to play on this computer'

When syncing iPod to iTunes I keep getting the message that some songs were not copied because they are not authorized to play on the computer.
How do I determine which songs are not authorized? I have either purchased all of my songs iTunes or loaded them from my CD. Therefore, all should be "authorized"

Diane,
I may have had another ID when I first started using iTunes - I just can't remember - I'll try to narrow it down using the smart playlist that you have suggested. As I'm thinking, I wonder if a disk that my daughter created for me a few years ago as a birthday gift (Dad's Mix) contained music that she had purchased with her account ID on iTunes, could be the culprit. Anyway, as I said, I'll try to whittle it down to isolate the songs that are generating the message. Thanks.

Why are some songs not fully downloading?

Most of the songs that I've downloaded lately are not playing fully. They're stopping less than halfway through and skipping to the next song. I know this is happening to others also, is there any way I can fix this? It's rather unfair, since my mum has payed for all these songs, yet there's no point even buying them if I can't listen and enjoy them. Thus, I was wondering is there anything I can do, or must it be repaired by iTunes? Also, have iTunes aknowledged this problem? Thanks!

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player or another media player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773
Other possible considerations:-
Is your iTunes up to date?

Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Some songs not shared

I have my main iTunes library on the big iMac in the sitting room and share the library with all the other machines in the house but some songs, even though they show up in the shared library, refuse to play and stay at 0 seconds. The only thing that I can think of that links the unplayable tracks is that they are all converted from FLAC to M4A with XLD or Max. I have a lot of tracks converted this way and the majority are shared happily. Get Info on the recalcitrant songs doesn't reveal anything unusual. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the problem may lie ?
Cheers, Daniel

Well, I've discovered what the problem is. I rip my tracks to 160 VBR and I've noticed that iTunes displays the bit rate as 160, whereas Get Info in Quicktime reveals the real bit rate. iTunes actually gives the real bit rate for these songs that won't play when shared so now I need to find some way of editing the files so that they behave like the rest.

Some songs re-synch every time

Every time I connect my iPod Classic to iTunes certain songs re-synch all over again. They are there on the iPod before the synch and are still there unchanged afterwards, but during the connection iTunes shows the songs being loaded onto iPod all over again. My synching is set to automatically synch selected playlists and no changes in any of the settings or playlists have been made in the intervening time.
Any idea why this happens?

So, rossen --
Do you have a GMax on there? Like it is a separate device?
Check out that app's website --
It looks like you have 1.0, and if what I'm looking at is correct, it's now at 3.0.5.

So, Nothing was updated 2-3 weeks ago?
Have you reset Safari?
Choose Reset from the main Safari menu
Check off the first 7 boxes, leave the last three unchecked.
Restart Safari.
Any better?

Some songs not downloading to my new iPhone 4 S

After I sync I'm getting a message - 20 songs not download to your iPhone. See iTunes for more information.
There is no information in iTunes. During a sync, I've also seen a message saying you must accept a new store terms of service. However, when I go to the phoen on my mobile or computer, I'm not prompted to do this. In fact, I can even find a place to voluntarily accept new T&Cs. Thoughts?
This is happening on a new iphone 4s. All of these songs synced fine with my Iphoen 4.
BTW, several of these songs are recent purchases
- no DRM protection
- purchased with the account that I'm syncing under
Thanks, Michael.

Hello Vmelo
Note: To purchase songs from the Wi-Fi Music Store, you must also have been signed in to that account in iTunes the last time synced iPod touch or iPhone.
More info at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1491?viewlocale=en_US
You may need to re-sync to re-upload the iTunes Store account info to the iPhone.

Why are some songs not available for ringtones?

I had a ringtone on my old RAZR phone and loved it. I would like to make it my ringtone on my Iphone. The song is available in Itunes and I saw another post that said some songs even though they don't have a "bell" in the ringtone column can still be made into ringtones. I have the CD, but I downloaded the song anyway and it tells me that song is no longer available for ringtones. How do I go about asking Apple/Itunes to make it available again?

Best thing is to call Apple Support in your country, and/or to post your feedback at:

Some songs not playing on iPod in iPhone

I've had about 4 iPhones over the past few years and before that i had a second generation iPod nano. Over this period of time, I purchased a lot of music thru iTunes either on my computer or thru the one in iPhone. I then transferred music over from each iPhone to the new one. Usually this has worked fine, however since I upgrade to 4S, I've noticed that songs I have purchased thru iTunes on past iPhones (or the old iPod) no longer play. Although when just testing out different ones now I notice some old ones will play and others won't. I'm not sure if it's just a random issue or not. If I have it on shuffle and it comes to one of those songs, it either stops, or oddly enough, it will start playing a different song but still show the other song's album cover and information. If I play a song individually and it doesn't work, it will either just do nothing or it will skip to the next song immediately. I can't quite figure out what's happening with this but I'm guessing it has to be a migration issue.
Has anyone else experienced this and know how I can fix it? Is it just a matter of authorizing something within iTunes or iPhone?
Please let me know. Thanks!
-Pooja

This is actually happenening on my non-itunes bought songs...basically songs that got converted from another source...perhaps from my old MP3 player from Sony...the problem is, they used to work on my ipod, and now they don't. I did try resetting the ipod, but that didn't seem to help.

Some pictures not synching on photo stream

I'm having a problem witht the photo stream. For some reason, of the 25 or so photos I have taken on my iphone, a few do not get synched to the Photo Stream. I've tried resetting PS (ie turning it off and then back on again) but the same few pictures keep getting left out. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Update: I dragged one of the photos that hadn't imported to one of my Photo Albums in iPhoto on my Mac. When I do this, the photo appears in the album, but when I select Show Event, it takes me to that monthly Photo Stream event but the photo isn't there. It's almost like these photos are hidden within the event the Photo Stream generates per month, but that event lists no hidden photos. I'm not even sure how I could get these photos in my library manually in a place that I could find them in the future!
