TS2776 Iphone library syncing only first song per album

Help, My Iphone was wiped after multiple failed password entry attempts, the phone was protected by NSA level security software, and after adding a Survivor protective case, I was mistyping one of the didgets.I was able to restore my purchased apps from my iTunes purchase history, but all of my music, short of a few songs were imported from my hundreds of CD's. My husband has the same music on his phone, yet not quite as much, as his phone is a 32, while mine is a 64. Rather than take the hours of Homesharing the music to my iTunes, since we both use backup drives for out computers, I thought it much simpler to simply plug his Back up into my PC, and copy the Music file to my iTuned folder.Yeas... This was quite abit faster, and all of the music is avaiable to listen to on my PC via iTunes.
Ok, here is my issue, When I sinc my phone all of the artists, as well as albums show up on my phone, however only the first song per album is available to play via the phone, all other songs have a square within a circle to the right of the song title, as if it is in download mode.
I turned on automatic download over wifi, and even tried clicking on the links showing, they change to a circle, and then teturn to cntaining a square, Is there a way to fix this issue, or do I have to go CD by CD and manually import the music all over again, as it will be several days work.
I normally consider myself to be very good at solving computer issues, but this has me baffled, has anyone got an idea ?

I've been having the same problem after I restored my iPhone. It's been nearly 8 months since vaporwave first posted this question and, so far, it hasn't been addressed by Apple in an update. It's sad that we have to find a workaround for this issue, especially because it's not the ideal solution (checking each artist probably means I'll end up with all of their songs, including some that I don't want in my iPhone).

Copy the entire itunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked.

I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked. So basically it's syncing all of the songs when I just want the checked ones on. This is very frustrating.

When your device is connected, check the tabs at the top ("Summary" "Apps" "Music," etc. Under the Music one, check to see if "Sync Music>entire music library" is checked. If it is, that may be why all the songs are syncing.

7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library. Ipad and old nano sync fine. How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

**1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
iTunes:
Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
**2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
*3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
Connect old nano to computer.
Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions.

ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5. It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories. What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

What's the dif "sync only checked songs and videos"&"manually manage music

Can someone please explain the difference between "sync only checked songs and videos" and "manually manage music and videos"
It probably makes sense to someone that uses many iTunes features but I just download podcasts and music.

Okay , I had "*Manually Managed*" checked in the summery and had restored the iPod to get rid of some videos that wouldn't go away. When I went to Music and checked *Sync Music* Selected Playlists, etc. it appears that the *Manually Manage* box in the Summery un-checked itself.
Interesting,
So just to clarify ; When *Manually Managed* is checked you can only drag things into the device from your library (outside the device), using the Music tab within the device will negate this ?

What's the diff btwn: Sync only chkd songs & videos and Manually manage them?

There's no way to logically logic this out. Sounds like a Mensa question. OK, the full text:
For iPhones, iPads, I assume iPod Touch too (don't have one), when you set your sync/backup prefs in iTunes, under Summary > Options: checkboxes #3 and #6 read:
Sync only check songs and videos
Manually manage music and videos
To confuse more: if I cycle thru the tabs after plugging an iDevice (Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Photos), except for the Apps page, each has a checkbox at the top of each page such as: Sync Tones, Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc.
Checking any of these boxes allows you to "manually" then check the content you want to move on to your iDevice, and of course unchecking an item on your iDevice will remove it upon Sync/Backup
Back to Summary > Options:
I thought I'd experiment:
I had #3 checked plus the Sync boxes on the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books and Photos (from iPhoto). I unchecked it and nothing changed.
Then I checked #6. Oooops. #3 grayed out, and all my checks on each page unchecked.
Worse, going to the Music page, where you can see all your songs in your iTunes Library, without the Sync Music checked, the page is blank. Checking it again brings forth a very scary alert
So.. until I figure this out, seems my experimenting may cost me to cleanse my iPad Air of all it's music. Not the end of the world, I just have to recheck what I had on it from Library and reSync.
Adages a side (curiosity killed the cat comes to mind)
I have to assume there are differences, even if just nuances between all these options for managing your stuff on your iDevices. These options have been in iTunes for as long back as I can remember. Unfortunately today I was backing up readying for iOS 8 and got curious, and here I am. Woe as me.
I'd sure like to understand all this, and know what should be checked if you want to manage your media and apps manually.

How to undo unwanted changes like mine above:
I luckily opened my iPad Air in the left column of iTunes where Playlists are and clicked Music (still experimenting, will I EVER learn?) but I got a message noting that I had made a change and did I want to Apply, which as you know from above I didn't. I clicked what ever the negative was (No, Cancel, etc.) and my settings were all restored as before I started checking and unchecking. Even my Summary > Options #3 was checked as before starting all this.
Whew. Saved.
But I still as I bet many others want to know how to manage the manage checkboxes

ITunes 64 bit cutting text off labels, for example it says "sync only ticked songs and vi..."

Can anyone help me with this query?
I have 64x bit iTunes on my dell studio xps laptop. The problem is that most of the text is being cut off. This is not a new problem, its been like this for years. Its just that now i've realised i'm missing some valuble info. I'll provide some examples of what is happening:
"Sync with this iPhone over..."
"Sync only ticked songs and vi..."
"Manually manage music and..."
I'm guessing its one of those fiddly resolution problems? The strange thing is, its not like i have run out off room on the screen? So i don't understand why its cutting text off? There is LOADS of space left? Can anyone help with this?
Thank you in advance,

Have you selected a larger than standard font size in display preferences?

Sync only checked song and videos - not working

On my iTouch, the only way I can get music on it is manually or through a playlist. The "Sync only checked song and videos" will not work. Am I doing something wrong?

Under the 'Music' tab (when you connect the iPT, and under the 'Devices'), make sure that 'Sync all Music' is selected, not the 'Sync playlists' option.

Sync only checked songs is greyed-out

iPod shuffle on an iMac. I have Manually Manage Music checked. I am unable to check Sync Only Checked Songs because it is greyed-out. Thus -- no surprise here --- after I sync, ALL of the songs on my iPod play, rather than only the checked songs. How do I enable Sync Only Checked if it is greyed out? Thank you.

I called Applecare and got the answer.

Sync only checked songs isn't working

I recently bought a nano for my husband (I already have an iPod classic). Since our music is pretty similar, I decided to choose the "sync only checked songs" option.
I thought I followed the instructions appropriately. I plugged in the device and selected it. When the summary came up, under options, I selected "sync only checked songs and videos". Then it did the sync, but that's NOT what it did-- it synced EVERYTHING! Then when I exited iTunes and went back in, the option didn't "stick." Am I doing something wrong? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated because it's driving me crazy

*I selected "sync only checked songs and videos". Then it did the sync, but that's NOT what it did-- it synced EVERYTHING ...... then when I exited iTunes and went back in, the option didn't "stick."*
Did you click "Apply" down in the right hand corner of the Summary screen before syncing the iPod and/or before exiting iTunes?

Won't keep "sync only checked songs" setting

I am trying to sync only the checked songs to my ipod. The problem is that when I change the setting to "sync only checked songs," it still syncs the unchecked ones. When I eject my ipod and then reconnect it, the "sync only checked songs" setting is off again. I've tried both hitting apply, and then syncing, and syncing multiple times. Very frustrated. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

It's been a while since this question was asked... maybe you figured it out?
I found a trick that seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate what needs to be removed from the iPod. You change the "sync checked songs/videos" option back-and-forth. See this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17344534#17344534

How do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

how do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes.

I deleted all songs from the iPad multiple times. Each time I reconnect and sync all of these songs sync instead of the chosen playlist. Settings on Summary page are Sync Only Selected Songs and Videos. Music only the playlist is checked.

How to I stop iTunes from reloading what was on the iPad instead of what I have selected? Summary screen shows "Sync only checked songs and videos" Music has only the selected playlist. All songs were deleted from iPad by swiping them to the left and hitting delete (very time consuming). Sync is set to manual. However whenever I hit Sync, the old music gets put back on the iPad. I have had this happen at least 6 times.

Solved it. "Automatically fill free space with songs" was checked on the Music page. Worked perfectly once this was unchecked.
