Songs are not syncing. I can see their names in a light print, but they are not bolded like other songs and won't play.

My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?

It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well

My Itunes songs are not syncing manually from my computer?

Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7, none of my itunes songs sync onto my iphone 4s when i plug my phone into my computer and hit sync. My new books/videos etc DO cross over onto the iphone, but my itunes songs do not, much less do my playlists update. I tried syncing my old ipod nano, and it worked just fine! i tried several things from the online forum, and nothing has worked (hard reset, switching things on and off, etc). does anyone know what the problem is?? I even tried UNsyncing all my songs and starting over, and even this didnt work. HELP!

I forgot to say, all my voice memos play in Itunes, but they do not show up on my Iphone. Only the playlist name, shows up on my Iphone.

Songs are not syncing correctly

I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the newest version of iTunes or iOS but songs just aren't syncing.
When I drag and drop album to my iPod Touch 4G, either some songs stay greyed out and never finish syncing or they appear to be synced, but when I click on them they show the "!" mark next to the song like it was never synced correctly to begin with.
I wondering if this is a common problem with the newest iOS (5.0.1) or if there might be something wrong with my software.
My iPod has been freshly restored so I doubt it's corrupt or something. This is also very random because it will load many songs perfectly fine then just start acting up. I'm 100% sure my music files aren't corrupt in any way.

What I do is in the settings I press like manage Ipod Manually or something then I go in and delete the messed up songs. Then I uncheck it and click Sync All again and BOOM its fixed.
I manage my music manually as well. What you experienced was probably just a temporary fix. I can get mine to work to if I drag one album at a time to the iPod, but if I start just randomly putting albums on (like I've always done), that's when I start to get issues.

If songs are not synced to my computer can i download them again for free?

okay so all i want to know is if i can download my purchased itunes songs again but for free? I recently wet my iphone and had to get a new one. Problem is i didnt get to sync my songs to my computer on time. SO now i want to download all those songs but im afraid they will charge me again. CAn anybody tell me if thats possible? You know to download songs you have previously purchased.

Restore it from a backup, use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes if it's on an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, or click here and ask. Backing up your purchases is your responsibility.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

ITunes says my iPod is synced but songs are not appearing.

I had to start all over with my iPod because all of my files were erased. I downloaded a bunch of new songs and videos and when I sync my iPod, a message appears saying that three of the files cannot be copied. I used to get that before too, so no big deal. But when I look on my iPod, the songs are not there. It is not telling me that it cannot be synced and the bar at the bottom of the preferences page or w/e says that I have 1.60 GB of music, 795.1 MB of video, and 25.42 MB of 'other'. I have already authorized this computer. Why won't it sync properly?

iTunes can "sync" an iPod, and not transfer any songs. You may need to set up or update automatic syncing in iTunes for the iPod. Otherwise, syncing may sync nothing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
Second, when you set up automatic syncing, the iPod's existing content is replaced. Any songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost. Is that OK? If that's a problem, please post back.
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar. To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library can fit on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then, "everything" (that is music) syncs to the iPod when you click Apply. Going forward, any changes to the music library sync automatically to the iPod, at the next opportunity.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlist, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) what you want on the iPod from the lists below. For example, you can have playlists in your iTunes library with songs you want on the iPod. On the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists. When you click Apply, the songs in your selections sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update your iPod, update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time the iPod is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES. There is a bar with buttons toward 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. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist. Click Apply.
Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library. The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

When ripping a CD to iTunes to sync to iPod classic, songs are not listed in sequence. Some are missing only to find them further down the list

When ripping some CDs to iTunes to then sync to my iPod classic, songs are not listed in proper sequence. Some are separated from CD and listed elsewhere, what gives??

You probably have you Itunes music set as list and not as albums. Go to view at the top of Itunes and check as albums.

When I downloaded I tunes and bought Match all 3 of my computers synced. Now I download a song from Amazon into Media player or burn a cd and they are not syncing with the other computers. I update match and have my boxes checked in preferences.

When I originally downloaded i tunes and bought match all 3 of my computers synced. Now when I download a song from Amazon into media or burn a cd into media they are not syncing. I go in and update match thinking that might work, it hasn't. I have all of my boxes checked in preferences on all 3 computers.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the music to your iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
Have you successfully synced music form this iTunes library/computer before?

Half of my songs I click and drag to my iphone in itunes are not syncing at all

I had to have my PC repaired and the hard drive had to be swiped clean. I rebuilt my itunes to the way I had but now half of my songs I click and drag to my iphone in itunes are not syncing at all, why is this?

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.
