What happend to sync all playlist option in itunes 9.2.1(4)

in the previous itunes version, there was an option to sync all playlists, now there is only sync music library and no playlist. is there any way to have all playlists sync without manually do it?
thanks

Okay. Some misunderstanding going on here.
under the sync music check box there is a radio button for all songs and playlists which is exactly what i was looking for...
That picture is from iTunes 8/earlier.
*Sync all songs and playlists* (in iTunes 8/earlier) syncs your entire music library. It is exactly the same as selecting *Entire music library* (in iTunes 9).
However, you do not want that.
You wrote, "because it would try to sync my entire music library ( which is large). I only want to sync my playlists and only my playlists."
*All songs and playlists* = *Entire music library*.
If you want want only all playlist but not all songs, you need to tick each and every playlist to sync it to the iPod, just as you would have done before.
Songs not in any playlist will not be put onto the iPod.

  • 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)

    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.

  • HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

    When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message advising some songs could not be found. Why is this, when the songs are in my playlist.

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync

    - Reset all settings

    I there a way to sync all my music from iTunes on my different computers including my work computer? I have all the computers authorized but when I buy a new somg and download it, it does not show up on my work computer when I start iTunes.

    Hello mchughes,
    Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are wanting your iTunes Store purchases to automatically appear on all your authorized devices. Automatic Downloads is a feature that can be turned on or off in the preferences of iTunes on a computer, and in the Settings of an iOS device. This article will help you get that turned on:

    Also if you have tv shows or movies you buy and want to see on all the devices but not necessarily download them you can configure iTunes to show your iTunes purchases for streaming or downloading when you want with this article:

  • "Sync All Movies" option is missing from the Videos tab.

    Hi,
    I just imported 453 short movie clips (totaling around 1.8 GB) into iTunes and now I want to synchronize them to my iPhone. I noticed that the option to "Sync All Movies" as found in previous versions of iTunes or perhaps only enabled for other devices is missing from the Videos tab under my iPhone's sync options. Is Apple seriously suggesting that I have to manually check off 453 boxes in a list box that only displays 10 items vertically at a time? I'm at a loss for words.
    If there's any way I can have iTunes automatically do this, please let me know. Here's a screenshot of the feature in question, MIA for me:
    http://www.info.apple.com/images/kbase/304680/syncmovies.jpg
    Thanks.

    My mistake, apparently shift clicking one item selects them all. I was trying to do the Windows CTRL + A shortcut (which works in the Library view but not in the list box of Videos to sync).
    I guess that makes me a typical Windows user.

  • IPod Classic not syncing all my songs from iTunes

    Background: I've had my 160GB iPod classic for 5+ years and been using iTunes for close to ten years. I'm using Windows 7 on my PC and up until recently I've been updating both iTunes and iPod whenever updates are available. After the horrible experience of upgrading to iTunes 11 and trying for over a month to get used to working with all the annoying bugs and compromises in functionality that Apple stupidly introduced into what was once a really good piece of software, I decided a week ago to downgrade to version 10.7. I went thru all the necessary steps to make this downgrade work, eliminating the various error messages, etc, and it appears now that my earlier version of iTunes is fully functional.
    But when I connected my iPod to sync new songs, I kept getting a message to scan and fix the disc on my iPod. I wasn't sure if I should do that so I ignored the prompt a few times. Then last night I decided to restore my iPod and start from scratch. The disc error message has gone away, but now it is not syncing all the songs it is supposed to.
    Af far as I know there are no broken links and all the songs in my music library are located within iTunes, so that is not the issue. There may be some songs with the same title and artist but that appear on different albums, so those should not cause a problem. At this point I have too many songs to fit on my iPod so I have selected to sync only checked songs, and I have unchecked over 1000 songs in iTunes, so that when I connect the iPod, it doesn't tell me that there is not enough free space to sync the iPod, it just syncs the checked songs.
    Before restoring my iPod, I had 14161 songs in iTunes, with 1105 of those songs unchecked so as not to sync them in the iPod. I did the math and that left 13056 songs that are checked, and that was how many songs showed up in the iPod after syncing it, with about 1GB of free space left on the iPod.
    Now, after restoring my iPod, I get only 13009 songs showing up in the iPod, meaning 47 songs are missing (with exactly 1.4GB free space).
    How can I troubleshoot this to find out what songs are missing and why, and then fix it? Is there an easy way to approach this daunting task? I am really fussy about my music library and am not the kind of casual user who just loads a bunch of stuff on my iPod and doesn't care if there are duplicates, broken links, missing songs. I manage my own library very assiduously each time I import new music and make sure it is tagged and filed correctly according to my own system. I want to fix this issue.
    Could it be a problem with me using a newer version of the iPod updates with an older version of iTunes? And is there a way I can correct that, possibly downgrade the iPod software version I have now? Would it be worth the trouble to try restoring the iPod again, and if so, what precautions do I take to prevent the same thing happening again, where not all my songs get synced to the iPod.
    Thanks to anyone who can offer some helpful advice...

    Check through this.

  • What does the sync mail checkbox do in iTunes?

    Can anyone help me understand what checking the "sync mail" feature does when synching my iPhone with iTunes?
    I'm not sure that it does anything since my mail.app and my iphone are both checking the pop 3 server.

    Probably most of these 300+ tracks are sourced from a single general location which cannot be accessed or found on your new computer configuration. Right-click on several of the exclamation mark-ed tracks, choose Get Info. The location will be revealed at the very bottom of the newly opened window after "Where:".
    You can try to fix iTunes exclamation for some or all of these tracks with a third-party app. Despite that it is still in beta it managed to find some of my missing songs in my library.

  • Cannot Sync All Songs In My iTunes Library to My iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2

    I have over 10,000 songs in my iTunes library--about 7,000 are songs I ripped from CDs and about 3000 are songs purchased through the iTunes store.  I am able to sync all the songs to my iPod Classic without any problem.  However, only about 7,000 songs are synced to my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2--a mix of all the songs purchased and some of the songs ripped.  How can I get my complete library synced to the iPhone and iPad, both of which are 128 GB and have plenty of room for the songs.

  • HT1386 iTunes not syncing all playlists?

    When I sync my 5s with my Mac, the playlists are not updating or syncing.  Furthermore, some of the songs are not playing again.  I had this problem before and never really could figure out what fixed it.  It just began working again.  Now, however, I have tried updating the software, re-syncing multiple times and it still won't work.  I had edited some of my playlists and whenever I sync my phone, it adds the old playlist to the Mac and adds a "1" to the title of what should be the new and updated playlist.  I have even deleted the old, original playlists and it's still happening.  After doing that, I can't get one of the playlists back on the phone at all.
    Anyone else with this experience?

    That still doesn't work.  I've tried several times.  Some of my songs, which are not purchased songs by the way, but songs off of cds are also not playable now.
    When I check the box to un-sync the music, then click apply, a sync starts and immediately the box unchecks itself and all the playlists repopulate on the Mac screen.  They aren't even being deleted from my phone either.

  • HT1351 can not sync all playlists from macBook to iPAD

  • Lost all Playlists in MAC iTunes AFTER Upgrading Windows iTunes to v.10.7 (via Parallels) - HELP!

    I HAVE iTUNES v 10.6x installed on my Macbook Pro - been using for quite awhile without issues.  All Updates to iTunes have gone just fine.  I also use Parallels Desktop with Windows XP Pro installed on it and within that Windows installation on this Mac, I have installed many software programs -- all okay for over 3 years - no real issues.  I also have installed iTunes in the Windows, but never really used the Preferences of iTunes to use its Advanced settings to change the location of the Library to the same location of the Mac's iTunes -- the Library is on an external HD.  The use of iTunes in Windows was never really used because I never had the right location of the Library set in Preferences. 
    About 5 days ago, while in Windows XP, I got an Apple Software Upgrade Notice that a new version of iTunes was available for download -- Version 10.7.  Not thinking about it then, I told myself that when I finished upgrading inside Windows that I would exit Windows and while in Macbook Pro's OS X 10.5.8, i just knew there would be an Apple Software Update Notice to also update my Mac's iTunes to version 10.7 also.  That's what I planned to do while still in Windows. While installing the update to version 10.7 within Windows, I thought I'd try to set the proper location for the Library file using iTunes' Preferences and Advance Tab.  I finished the upgrade to 10.7, went into Preferences and Advanced Tab and did just that and set the correct location on the external harddisk then tried to play songs using my Windows XP's upgraded iTunes.  IT WORKED JUST FINE.
    I now exited from Windows and went back to straight Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8 and tried to check for this upgrade for iTunes from 10.6x to 10.7 by going to the Apple Website and downloaded this from there.  When I then attempted to install the downloaded 10.7 (to replace/update my 10.6x) it would not install because my OS X 10.5.8 is not useable for the new 10.7.  Okay, I'd just use my tried and true version 10.6x.  WRONG!!!!!
    When I attempted to open my iTunes on the Mac, it would open, but all my normal screen views were gone -- NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER.  The Music folder (the Library?) was fine but all songs had the infamous "!" MARK next to each and every song -- not playable.  So, remembering the Library location setting in Preferences was the way to "reset" iTunes so the Library would be recognized and useable, I went into Preferences and reset the Library to the proper and same location as it always had been (and, where I had just previously set the Windows' iTunes to).  Now the "!" marks were gone and each song in the Music Folder played just fine.  BUT, NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER.  ALL MY ORGANIZATION EFFORTS FOR YEARS WAS GONE!!!
    My thoughts are that the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7 changed some key iTunes files common to both operating systems on the Macbook Pro, Parallels Desktop, and Windows XP installation -- some Windows iTunes program files are kept and store in the same default location as the Mac's and on the internal hard drive of the Mac.
    Because, in further researching this problem, I found that the "iTUNES LIBRARY.itl" file located on the Mac's hard drive had, in fact, been changed by the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7!!!!!!  THOSE CHANGES "CORRUPTED" THIS FILE TO USE IN THE MAC iTUNES PROGRAM AND THE PLAYLISTS ARE GONE.  I also use this software in this effort:  PARALLELS DESKTOP VER 7.X, FULLY UPDATED WINDOWS XP PRO, FULLY UPDATE AS MUCH AS APPLE HAS PROVIDED TO MY OS X 10.5.8 (I CAN'T UPGRADE TO LION), AND OF COURSE iTUNES 10.6x.
    THEREFORE, WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD/COULD I DO TO GET THE PLAYLISTS BACK INTO MY MAC OS X 10.5.8 iTUNES?  I DON'T CARE TO USE THE WINDOWS iTUNES ANYMORE -- I'LL JUST STAY WITH MY MAC'S.  PLEASE HELP!!!  THANK YOU.

  • How can I sync a playlist from my itunes account to my friends iPad?

    When I connect the ipad to my macbook and open itunes there is not a 'sync music' option as usual, only 'Itunes match is on' and the option to sync voice memos?

    You don't.  That's akin to piracy.  iTunes content is tied to one Apple Id, you cannot share it between devices.
    If your friend has the songs on the playlist in their iPad they can recreate the playlist, but there is no way to transfer content between accounts.
