Successfully Synced Music Missing In Music Player

Alright, maybe you all can help me, maybe I'm just missing something obvious... Here's my problem:
I'm trying to sync my music to my Sprint Pre using the syncing feature in Windows Media Player. It says I've got 1200 songs and that they all successfully sync. What's more, if I look through the Pre's files through my computer it shows that all the songs are contained in the phone's memory just like they should be.
Problem is, once I open the Pre's music player, only about 350 songs show up. Some albums will only have a portion of their songs, and some albums are missing entirely!
Now I've tried this twice, and both times the music syncs successfully, and both times I double-checked through my computer that the Pre's memory does indeed contain all those music files. Not to mention, after the first time, when I went to delete those 350 songs to start over the computer confirmed that it was deleting 1200 files.
So it seems everything transfers over successfully, and in fact, looking now at my phone's memory, the appropriate amount of space is indeed being used... But most of that music isn't showing up at all.
Is there a file viewer\manager on the phone somewhere that I can't find? Am I missing something completely obvious? Where's all my music? WHAT GIVES?!
Thanks for any help you can give me...

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Media sync from WMP may not be the best option for managing your music. You can just put your phone into USB mode and drag and drop mp3 files to your device just like you were putting them onto a thumb drive. You can put them in any folder, the Pre will see and manage them automatically. If they're already showing there, I would delete the music off of the Pre and then re-add them manually, not syncing through WMP.
Additionally, you could use a program like DoubleTwist to manage your music.
Hope this helps,

IPhone 4 not syncing music through iTunes

I just recently got the iPhone 4S and gave my iPhone 4 to my dad. We downloaded a new version of iTunes on his computer and he has music loaded from CDs that he has. When we tried to add music to the iPhone 4 by syncing it with iTunes the music doesn't load to the phone. When we look back at the playlist that we tried to sync, it has the small error logos next to each song. We tried syncing other playlists and got the same result. We synced apps successfully. What do we need to do to be able to successfully sync music from iTunes to the iPhone 4?

Welcome to  Discussions, loganmickel!
I don’t know what I could do to explain this issue any further. Don’t want to sound rude, so here’s a hint...

ITunes Content missing from Music Player on iPhone

Certain iTunes content that I sync to my iPhone 4 is present on the device, but missing from certain categories in the Music Player. For example, I have an many albums from the The Rolling Stones, when I search by artist, pull up The Rolling Sones, certain albums are missing, even if I select ALL SONGS they aren't even listed there. I know they are on the device because I can find them by searching by album, or by just doing a general search on the iPhone. This is not just an issue with one artist, it's many. I have done a full restore with no luck. What's the deal, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If yo are not using a VPN or similar that would locate you in another country:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect to another network
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

(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.

HT1296 I am trying to sync my ipod to my computer thru itunes, I have already successfully synced my ipad, but keep getting stuck on the sync for the ipod it identifies, the device appears to be syncing but doesn't show up my new music or my new playlist?

I am trying to sync my i-pod to my computer thru itunes. I successfully synced my Ipad thru the computer, but am trying to do the same with the Ipod. The device shows up on my computer and appears to be syncing, but nothing changes. I have tried dragging the new music to the device, but a symbol appears with a slash thru the middle, as if denying access, any suggestions what to try next. I have synced on this Ipod succesfully in the past, Suggestions?

To drag and drop you have to use the Manual Method. That method is included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Was the iPod set up by wifi or setup or synced to another computer/iTunes library?

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanks

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
Thanks

Torch 9860 music player icon missing

Hi there.. I have some problems with the music player. After I installed a theme and reboot the phone, I realized that my music player icon was missing. I can't find it in media folder, so I try the universal search, but with no result. It's like it just disappeared. What should I do? Anyone here has the same problem? Waiting for your replies. Thx

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Themes have quite some power...including the ability to hide things from you completely. Given what you describe, that's what I'd deduce is happening...the Theme you installed is hiding those things from you. To find out more, you need to contact the Theme developer. Alternatively, remove the Theme.
Good luck!

Music Player & Syncing Music

I would love to see similar funcitionality in the music player on the playbook as it is on the Torch. The ability to shuffle and to choose to show all the songs from one artists' multiple albums is great.
i also find that when i am synching music (throug BDM - with Playlists created in iTunes)...it ends up discecting albums, creating different albums according to the artists on the song. So if an album has 4 different artists involved in the songs, you will have 4 different new ablums created.. took me hours to sort it all out and clean it up..
just some feedback as to what would be great to see in the future.. (SOON)

Hi mcjamsr79,
You may need to locate the drivers for your computer based on your version of Windows that relate to your DroidX. Once you have located the drivers, use the steps and instructions for the driver installation. Usually, after drivers have been installed, you would connect the DroidX via a data cable made for your device and one end being a USB connect. Then once the connection is completed, use the touch screen to pull the menu up to mount the DroidX and locate it under your device manager. Once the device is recognized on your computer, you should be able to Sync your music.
Thanks,

My iPhone 3 with 6.01 wont sync music from my computer. The new iTunes software seems to be missing tabs like DEVICES that other folks mention. What up?

Yesterday, I updated (6.01) both my phone and my computer's iTunes at the same time. I was thinking that was iTunes v11, but maybe it was 10.5, didn't pay close enought attention. All the music was removed from the phone's iPod, and all of the music extracted from my CDs onto iTunes went away as well, although the purchased music stayed. Unplugging and resynching from the computer did not cause the music to re load on the phone. From reading various other discussions, I think that I am missing several tabs from the iTunes header, specifically "Devices". One fellow mentioned Devices/Music/SyncMusic as a fix, but after several minutes of searching for hidden buttons, there just isn't one on my iTunes. Help!!

Ctrl + B puts the top menu in place.
View > Show Sidebar the devices when connected appear in the left hand window.
Select your device and on the right hand side selecth the music page option. Tick Sync Music and then either sync it all if you have space or sync selected playlists etc.
Select the Artists, Playlist, Albums Genre's you want and click apply bottom right

Ford sync not starting music player on Droid Razr Maxx

I have basic sync in my 2011 F-150 and with my old Incredible I was able to start the music player using sync as long as I had Bluetooth turned on. Now I have the Droid Razr Maxx and to play music I have to manually start the music player to get it to work. Does anyone know if this is just how it has to be or is there a way to get Sync to start the music player on my Droid Razr?

How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

iTunes will only sync with Apple devices. You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive. You can drag files from iTunes to that drive. You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ. We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection. Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store. If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.
