Uploaded songs don't transfer

I have only been able to upload songs from itunes on my home computer. On my work computer and a friend's computer when I tried to upload songs it didn't work. On itunes it will say the upload is complete. You can see the songs in the ipod song library but these songs are nowhere to be found on the nano itself. For all purposes the songs seem to be in the nano but they just don't come up as options under music.
I have looked all over help. I have changed my preferences.
I don't understand what the problem is.
Help!!

Solution: Syncing with my iTunes library an endless headache: Songs don't transfer, or songs transfer and show up as "other," or I get double copies, or "Over Capacity," or stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied."

iPod Touch 5g, 64GB, iOS 7.1. After my iPod data began showing up "Other," after an abrupt disconnection from iTunes during a sync I've spent the last week trying to fix it only to be thwarted at every attempt. I've tried resetting and restoring 6 or 7 times now, and all goes well until it gets to copying my library of music over. What I finally figured out is that 8,000+ songs is too many for iTunes to process all at once for some reason.
After several nights of leaving it connected all night I would find that the songs had physically copied and were occupying the ~45 gb of space on my iPod's storage, but were not showing up on my local library, instead listed as "Other" in iTunes and otherwise unusuable, or they would show up, but I'd have ~45 gigs of "Other," 45 gigs of "Audio," and would be "Over Capacity," by 30 gigs or so. OR it would be "Waiting for Changes to be Applied," for 12+ hours.
My work around: In iTunes, under the "Music" / "Sync Music" tab, instead of syncing "Entire Music Library," select "Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Genres." You will have to indivually select the playlists, artists, albums, or genres and kept each bulk tansfer to <2000 songs at a time. The easiest way for me to do this was by selecting one genre at a time and copying it over. I had already taken the time to organize my library into 10 genres, you probably have more than 10. This is irritating and time consuming, but it's better than resetting my iPod over and over and over again to no avail.
Waiting for Changes? What iTunes is actually doing when it says it is "Waiting for Changes," or "Waiting for Items to Copy." iTunes for whatever reason does not reveal the relevent data being processed during a sync (didn't it used to?), but there are a couple ways you can decipher what it is actually up to. The first option is on the iPod; under Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it will tell you what it is up to during syncing. The other way on the iPod; under Music>Songs, scroll all the way to the bottom to see where it is at in the process. What iTunes, iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and the bottom of the Songs library report are not always in agreement, but seeing all three will give you a better approximation of where you are in the syncing process and whether or not it is hanging.
This for me was successful as a workaround, but this is not a solution. Apple needs to fix this crap. Maybe they just want to make it so difficult to have a physical library of music on the local storage of the iPod that we will just give up and sign up for their Match service.

ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
(I use iTunes 11.1.5.5)

Two Songs Won't Transfer + Another question

I purchased two songs, dollars were deducted, they are showing on the Playlist on my computer, but when I "sync", the songs don't transfer to my IPod?
Question #2: I had to have my computer restored, so I lost my playlist; the playlist on my computer isn't as complete as my IPod songs. ie, there are 26 songs on my playlist but 41 in my IPod. How do I transfer all the songs from my IPod to my computer playlist.
I'm not real savvy with all this so please keep answers on a beginner level. Thanks

When you say Playlist, do you mean the Purchased playlist that has a green icon next to it?
Or do you mean, your main music library is only showing a total of 24 songs?
If your main library has the 41 songs, you can drag them all over into the green Purchased playlist again. You should get a message about adding or skipping duplicates. Obviously, press the Skip key.
Anyway if you can check this without your Ipod plugged in. I can't tell if they are missing from your entire library, or just the Purchased playlist.
You can tell if they are purchased files by setting your view options.
itunes menu > View > View Options > "Kind" checkbox
If the Kind column shows Purchased or Protected, then it's from the itunes store.

TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've used both headphones and a docking station. The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

Purchased songs on iphone don't transfer

This issue is going on for long time but Ithink now I'm getting closer to the problem. Basicaly from time to time some of my songs won't transfer to my iphone. I think I'm able to reproduce now this issue.
1) Purchuse a song on the iphone from itunes store
2) Song will go to purchased playlist
3) Once the song shows up in itunes put it in a playlist that will sync with iphone
4) Sync iphone
now song is no longer on iphone. When I check the number of songs on iphone vs what sync tab shows in itunes those numbers don't match (iphone is smaller by the number of songs that didn't sync). However if i browse iphone music in itunes those songs show up but grayed out. There is nothing I can do. I rebooted itunes, signed out from itunes stores. Anyone haviong same issue?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I still cannot see all the music; some I downloaded and some I purchased. For example, I downloaded two CDs by The Band Perry; one is on iTunes and one isn't. I purchased iTunes Match before I changed computers so I could transfer it all to my new machine without have to load CDs again. I also purchased some songs that are no longer there.
I looked at the article you referenced and have completed all the recommended steps. I have authorized this computer and updated iTunes match. Is there any way to recover the music I downloaded, as well as purchases I made? (I purchased Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it's not on my iTunes. There may be others, but I haven't noticed any others specifically.)
Very frustrated....any help is appreciated

How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs ....

Me and my mother just got iPods for christmas and hers was a U2 ipod and mine was a 30gb ipod. I have downloaded some songs and have imported some cds but my mother doesn't want those songs on her ipod. How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs don't go on mine.Do i need to create another itunes?

The computer can tell the difference between your two iPods. When you first plugged each one in, you named them and the computer recognizes each one as a separate disk.
Now, when you plug in your iPod, and you are looking in iTunes at your iPod contents, you will see four buttons in the bottom right corner of iTunes - the first one is to display iPod options. Click on this, and under the music tab, select "Automatically update selected playlists only". Then, you scroll through your playlists and select only those you want to be transferred to your iPod. Your mother can do the same thing. Now you can each make your own playlists from the same music library, and only those songs you want to go onto your iPod will transfer when you plug it in. You can make the same selections for all the other options too (video, podcats. photos, etc), so that you only have to have what you want on each iPod.
I have two iPods, a new 5g video iPod and an ancient 1g iPod, and have no problems syncing each of them with different playlists and options.

ITunes Match fails to upload songs in Step 3

This is an update to my earlier post on this problem.
During Step 3, when iTunes Match is supposed to upload non-iTunes Store music and artwork, it fails for an unknown reason and repatedly attemps the process all over again. This continues until aborted by the user.
After several months of frustrated tinkering, one of the iTunes Senior Advisors, suggested a solution that did solve the probelm. The solution is to limit the upload speed of the router to something less than 3 Mbps. Apparently, with high speed uploads either the iTunes Match server or iTunes itself cannot cope with the data flow and the upload process crashes with no indication to the user. While this solved my problem and my approximately 1,500 songs eventually uploaded, it did take more than 10 hours. But its done and my compete library is now on iTunes Match.
I pointed out to Apple that this solution was, in my opinion, a serious flaw in the iTunes Match offering and that Apple needs to address the problem.
My ISP provider is Comcast and I typically get download speeds of 28 Mbps and upload speeds of 5 Mbps. Obviously the 5 Mbps is too fast for the iTunes Match ecosystem. I was able to adjust the upload speed by changing the QoS settings of my Linksys router and giving iTunes a priority over other apps.
Hopefully this post helps out others with the saem problem.

The -2114 error, typically occurs when trying to download / stream an uploaded Song file. The error tends to be intermittant and may simply indicate a failing server in the Apple infrastructure.
Local action, wait for a period and re-try - usually successful - once working, ensure you download and backup a secure local version - or simply restore a good version from existing local backup.

I have a new laptop and would like to upload songs from my i phone BUT i tunes says I need to have approval to do this on the computer. Not sure exactly what they want or how to proceed...ANy help?

I want to upload songs form i tunes on my i phone to my new laptop BUT i tunes tells me the computer has not been authorized to do this.. What do I do now?

File>Transfer Purchases
You should just copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

Right now, I can't transfer songs from my laptop to my iPhone unless I turn off iTunes Match 1st. Once the songs are on there, I turn iTunes Match back on, but then the songs that I just transferred over dissapear...
Please help!

I'm having the same problem, some of my songs will transfer but not all of them. It seems there are alot of people having this problem and apparently Apple doesn't know how to fix it. All my songs were purchased through itunes so they all should upload to any apple device. Sorry I'm not any help, maybe Apple can finally do something about it.

I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?

Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone in any playlists, what is wrong?

I don't know what happened. I plugged in the phone today (like I have done just about every day) to sync and charge and the movie transferred this time. I have no idea what changed between now and last night. I haven't even rebooted either the phone or computer. Go figure. As Gilda Radner once famously said on SNL as Rosanne Rosanadana, "Nevermind".
