Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
- There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
- I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
- I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
- Everything still plays in iTunes.
- If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
- I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
- I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
(I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

I can´t sync my songs from itunes to Iphone

Since i updated iTunes recently and my Iphone to 8.1.2 i have trouble syncing my own record songs to the Iphone via Itunes. I have tried to convert them from mp4 to aac to mp3 but nothing works. And every other time i sync with the phone some other albums just disappear from the phone.
It seems the music synchronization has stopped working properly.
Has anybody encountered that same problem?
Another layer to this is that i have recorded the songs on the voice memo app and i wanted them in my music player so i mailed them to myself (since there is now way to save them directly into the player ) and then try to load them into the phones music player via Itunes. The reason for that is I want to tell Siri to play them for me in the car (so i don´t have to look at my phone while i drive). This should be the way to do it, although it´s very complicated.

YOu bought more backup storage, not actually storage for your phone..

Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs. What am I doing wrong?

I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
Where are the extra songs coming from?
The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
Thanks!

Try the following:
Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
Uncheck the "Sync Music" box. Accept the "Are You Sure ...". That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right. (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs. Do what you like with them.
Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply. That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

Can't download any song from iTunes-Store

Hi there,
since I updated to iTunes 9.0.1, I can't download/ buy any song or album;

1. Put Itunes 9 from "Applications" file, in the "Trash"
2.Go "Library/Receipts/ItunesX.pkg" and put the "X.pkg..." from "Library" àto the trash.
iTunes is now uninstalled, You can now install the 8.2 version or any other old version. But she will not able to read your musical library, cause it was created with the 9 version, so you"ll have to do this :
3. Go in "Music" file and "Itunes" file
4. just be sure that in "previous library" file, you have the last save of your Library (with the date)
5. Go again in "Music/ Itunes". and put "library Xml" and "iTunes Library" into the trash.
6. Copy the last Library save in "Previous Library" and paste it instead of the library you have just erase.
7. Rename it "itunes library".

Can't sync personal ringtone from iTunes to iPhone 6 plus

Hi
I have created a personal ringtone , a 20 sec clip. I saved it as an arc and renamed it to .M4R
I added it to iTunes which correctly put it in the tones folder. I connected my iPhone - checked the sync tones option /all
and hit sync.
The ringtone refuses to come across.
I am using iOS 8.1 and iTunes v12.0.1.26
any help would be great
thanks
Tony

Hello,
I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.

Can't sync my music from itunes to iPhone

I recently updated itunes on my computer and now I can't sync my music to my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

Can't play any songs from iTunes, error message "can't find"

I just got an iPod as a present (I'm behind the times) and I put songs on my iPod from some one elses computer. The problem is, now none of the songs on that persons computer will play, I get an error message saying, "the song [insert song name here] could not be used because the original file could not be found." My iTunes is fine, but my friends computer is not!!! Is there any way to fix this, I really hope i didn't just delete all their songs (I didn't even put most of them on my iPod).
Thanks for any help!

Your songs might be taking up too much room in your iPod.
Open iTunes, right-click on a song. Make sure the song is no bigger than 4 MB and it's a MPEG file.
Also, in iTunes, click "Edit" and then go down to "Preferences". Click the 'Advanced" tab and then the "Importing" tab. Make sure your songs are encoded using AAC Encoder and a high quality setting of 128 kpbs.
If your song information is different from what I just told you then this is the reason why your songs won't fit in your iPod and there's not enough room.

When you connect your phone, on the Summary screen, Did you check option to "manually manage"?
If you did, Hard reset your phone, reset sync history, uncheck music sync and complete full sync. Then go back and try to sync music again.

Can't sync some songs from itunes

I just got 10.4.11 on my imac and a new ipod nano using itunes 8.02. I can sync some tracks (manually) but with others I get the error message: "Not copied to ipod XXX's ipod because you are not authorized to play it on this computer." What does this mean?

Hey there,
Did you try to reauthorize your computer? Deauthorize it and then reauthorize it if necessary. See if that helps.

Can't sync home movie from iTunes to iPhone 4

Whether I use Hand brake or Winx DVD Ripper to transfer my 6 min. home movie to iTunes, it will not transfer to my iphone 4. it does play in iTunes.
I made sure to choose 640p and H.264 and still it wont transfer.
I was suspicious with early attempts because, although they played in iTunes there was an icon under the movie (a cirlcle only half blue). This last time, pre-setting with 640p the movie had a fully blue circle (what does this mean?) and when I synced it actually said "syncing movie..." But, it did not appear in my photo album! I'm really frustrated, spending hours on this. Can anyone help?

Holy crap you guys! I'm spinning with outstretched arms knocking stuff over jubilantly screaming "YESSS"! while you guys sit, spinning in your chairs saying "great we saved another idiot..."
I was told my videos would appear in my photo album.
Thank you. ThanK YOU! I need to go have some fun now. Wow, it looks great!
Thanks again. Am I really an idiot...

Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle?

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle? After I have pressed Sync, the iTunes screen showed completed sync but nothing change in the i-Schuflle.
Further the i Schuffle player has a voice saying I have to sync. But I did.
Can anyone help?

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing. If there is nothing new to sync, based on your sync settings in iTunes, the syncing process just starts and stops in a few seconds.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
