Sync all songs but select playlists
I am now running iTunes 9 and I can't seem to figure out how to do this. In the old version you could select to sync checked songs and then go to the iPod and select which playlists you wanted. Now it's either all songs and playlists or select playlists. Is there a way to do what I want?
Sync all songs but select playlists.
If you sync all, you don't select playlists.
Now it's either all songs and playlists or select playlists.
And that's how it has always been.
Is there a way to do what I want?
It's exactly the same as it was.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Summary tab.
Tick *Sync only checked items*.
Click the Music tab.
Select *Sync music* and select *Selected playlists* then tick the playlists you want.
Note that *Sync only checked items* doe snot mnena you cannot sync selected playlists or everything. It simply means if you have items unchecked and they are included in any playlists, they will not sync.

Sync All songs and SOME Playlists?
When syncing my ipod, I'd like to sync all songs, but only some playlists (the other ipods that sync on my computer also have playlists that I do not wish to see on my ipod).
There is an option for Sync All songs and All Playlists, or Sync only checked playlists. If I select the Checked Playlists option, then I only sync the songs in the playlists and not the majority of my itunes library. Is there any way for me to Sync All Songs and Only Checked Playlists?
Thanks.No, it doesn't work that way. And, even if you do Sync Selected playlists, if any of the songs in the selected playlists are in the non-selected playlists, the non-selected playlist will show up on the iPod (with only the songs from the selected playlists)which is a bit odd.
If you're using a Classic or 3rd gen, you could put all your playlists in one folder in iTunes. Those iPods recognize folders so then you could just go to that folder and ignore the other playlists. -
Sync all songs, not the playlists
Hello Everyone,
I have a quick problem I'd like help with. I was wondering if it is at all possible to sync all the songs in the library, just not the playlists. I use a shared computer so there is a lot of unwanted playlists. So is this at all possible? Thanks.
Cheers,
KenHave you considered using "Sync Music - Selected Playlists" and creating a single playlist with links to all of the songs in the library to update from? The rest of the playlists will remain in iTunes. Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

WONT SYNC ALL SONGS AND ON PLAYLIST NEXT TO SONGS IS (!) THAT SONGS THAT WEREN'T SYNCED
i HAVE A IPOD CLASSIC JUST TRIED TO SYNC IT AND A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING NOT ABLE TO SYNC ALL SONGS SO I CONTUNED TO SYNC, WHEN DONE I WENT TO MY LIBRARY OF SONGS AND FOUND NEXT TO THE SONGS NOT SYNCED THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED.
Do a "Get Info" on the songs with the ! and look at the path to the songs. What the ! means is that iTunes couldn't find the song file, so likely the path to the song has changed. It could be they were on a removable drive that changed drive letters.

Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.
iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?
I am having this issue also. Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists. The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist. I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick". I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also. Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success. How do we escalate this to Apple? Do they review these posts? -
IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist
My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!! -
My shuffle is not syncing all of the selected songs & I can't figure out how to get it to sync all the checked songs (syncs some, but not others). Please help!

I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?
Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

Hello there,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to sync music to your iPhone, you will need to use iTunes on your computer, and then follow the directions in the article linked to below.

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
How do you upload all your songs but SOME playlists?
Do you make a smart playlist of ALL your songs. (Id est, a library playlist.) And select it along with the playlists you want?
Doesn't that take up a lot of space?Stuck with one or the other. Sync all or sync selected playlists. One of your selected playlists could include all file though.

Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks
While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized) -

Hi! I just got the latest itunes version and can't sync all songs in my library to ipod. It is manually set to manage songs and when I select all songs to drag (more than 2,000) it is only syncing 281...help please!!!
Hey samikumar,
Thanks for the question, this is definitely a weird issue! To troubleshoot, let’s start first by re-creating your iTunes library and playlists:

Using iMatch on iMac, iPhone and iPad. When I want to download all songs from a playlist on my iPhone, witch contains e.g. 143 Songs before the download, there are only 96 songs in the playlist after download. The missing songs are not listed anymore, but when I check the same playlist on my iPad (Not downloaded), it tells me, that it contains 143 songs.
Same behaviour with other playlists and even when downloading on iPad and checking on iPhone.
Does anyone has noticed the same behaviour?The track number issue is covered here:

Sounds like the bbthumbs.dat files that get created are causing problems. You can delete them all and it will work.
Doesn't look like a way to fix this permanetly however (they'll come back next time you sync)
