Trouble with syncing my music.

A while ago I deleted all of my music to make room for an update. Then I redownloaded my music using iCloud. Today I realized that all of my music wasn't there when I went searching for a song so I went to my iTunes to download it. Now my phone shows that it is downloading the music but it has been like that for two hours and hasn't made any progress. On top of that when i sync my iTunes and my phone, my iTunes says that my phone has no music on it after I just synced it. Then when I click on "On This Phone" on iTunes, it has two of every song listed. I'm so confused and I have no idea what to do. I have shut off my phone and computer and restarted them both and have tried syncing them multiple times. Help please!!!!

You said you "tried to resotre my ipod as well still no luck." Was the restore successful?
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?

New itunes, trouble with syncing

My itunes was recently removed from my computer, and im having a little bit of trouble with it. is it possible to put the music from my ipod to my itunes? because its not letting me.

Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
iTunes jargon
RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

I'm having issues with syncing my music.

Recently, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7, from Vista. I've recovered all my music, and ringtones from my old windows. Supposedly authorised my new Windows for syncing. I currently have 19 GBs of music on my phone, which I'm reducing to 16.2 GBs.. but everytime I go to sync my music. It keeps telling me that it requires 16.5 GBs, which means it's not erasing the music already on my phone..? It won't let me access its music through my computer or iTunes (via manual music adding or whatever it's called) .. I don't know how to clear the music. When it shows the summary, there's no music data, until I click the music tab where the 19 GBs show up again. Help??

With the device connected, if you select the music tab and have "Sync Music" checked, you must manage music from that tab.
If you do not want to manage music that way, uncheck the "Sync Music" option then on the Summary tab you must check the "manage media manually" option.

Trouble with transfer of music to 80gig ipod,

For christmas my dad got a new 80 gig, black ipod, but were having trouble with transferring his huge library from his powerbook G4 to his ipod. It transfers about 300-400 songs then stops. We tried the "5 R's" and still are unsuccessful.
He keeps getting the error message:
"attempting to copy disk, failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Any suggestions???

Have you had a chance to look through this troubleshooting document? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

HT1386 trouble with syncing playlists

I am having trouble syncing my music playlists to my iphone 5. I have the playlists checked under my devices, however when I click sync they do not appear on my phone.

Try un-syncing them first to remove them all, then try syncing again.

Problems with syncing my music to my Nano

I got an iPod nano 3rd generation for x-mas. I have all my music on my iTunes and can listen to it on my computer. The problem is that i can't sync the music I have onto my iPod. I have tried re-installing the entire thing and had all of my music coverted once more onto iTunes but I still can't sync my music onto it. When I go into file and look for the sync music to iPod, its gray. On the device section, when I right click it, all I get is eject. I have no summary tab. My brother has an iPod and has tried to figure it out but so far no luck. Any advice would be much appreciated as to the fact that I am getting very, very frustrated.
Thanks

Mijn advies: terug naar versie 1.0. Tenzij je versie 1.1 nodig hebt, natuurlijk (voor radio o.i.d.). Of wachten op versie 1.2
Ik heb zojuist versie 1.0 geherinstalleerd, en alles werkt nu prima. En telkens als iTunes vraagt of ik de nieuwste versie wil installeren klik ik op NEE.

Updating my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS5 - I'm having trouble with syncing in general.

I first synced my iPod touch to my old computer on iTunes, and then I got my laptop and I downloaded iTunes, plugged in my iPod, and use it to download music. But the old computer broke, and we got a new one, with a different hardrive and everything. I didn't mind, because I was content with just using iTunes on my laptop for searching for and downloading music. The iOS 5 update came out, and at first I wasn't bothered, but now it seems to be hindering the performance of iTunes in general, as I can't download music off my computer - it keeps coming up with Error 13019.
I looked on tons of support forums, and they all mentioned syncing music and apps. I didn't think that would be a problem, but whenever I tick the box saying 'sync music', the memory bar goes RIGHT DOWN, as if it's deleting all the songs I got off CDs, which I don't want, and whenever I tick the box saying 'sync apps', it comes up with all the apps I had a few months ago, missing out all of the apps I have now, which would no doubt delete my progress on them.
I've even tried just clicking 'sync' on the main device page, but it just comes up with Error 13019.
And every time I right click on my iPod's name to click 'back up' as many of the forums said, iTunes freezes and nothing happens for about 10 minutes, and I end up having to force close it on the task manager. This has happened 4 times already. -_- I've even updated iTunes to the most recent version, but nothing's changed.
I'm scared to update my iPod, because of course it says it will delete everything, and there's no way I can back things up or sync them without them getting deleted.
Any suggestions on what the heck I should do? By the way, I'm an amateur in the technology world, so please don't use too many fancy words. =)

Try here first to get rid of the error:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Then you should be ablt to make the backup. Just not that the backup that iTunes makes does not insluced synced media like apps and music.
iTunes: About iOS backups
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:

- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Google for more.

Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Serious trouble with syncing

A few weeks ago I've discovered that my 8G Nano won't sync after I plug it in, it will just freeze and do nothing - it will sync automaically when it's first plugged in, but if I want to sync it again I have to unplugg it and then plugg in again.
And today it converted all my music to a select playlist because I had no free space, and now I can't reset or restore it. It says that "all playlists no longer exist" and everytime I unplugg it and plugg in again, the settings will be just the same, with the select playlist.
What can I do??

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Well, I have it turned on, if that's what you mean. On both the phone and the computer (when phone is hooked up) I have the message that the last time I synced was 9/17/13. Every once in a while, while charging the phone overnight, with wireless on, I get a message saying that in order for iCloud backup to work the phone must be plugged in and connected to a wireless network. Apparently there is a failure to communicate with the mother ship, despite my following instructions.
My suspicion is that this failure is related to the failure to sync with iTunes, but I'm just guessing.

I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my macbook

I have been trying to sync my iphone 5 with my macbook but itunes keeps saying 'error (-54)'. I downloaded new albums and they will not sync onto my iphone, and this has never been a problem in the past. Also, on my itunes, when i click on 'Iphone' it shows some of the song titles faded out with a dotted circle beside them, indicating that they cannot be played. I have tried restarting my mac but it has not worked. Could anyone help me?

Hello, katieokane1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder. Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write. You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.
