When I try to sync, the music I selected isn't available on my device

When I try to sync, the music I selected isn't available on my device, and when I uncheck certain artists or songs, they stay on. Any solution?

You telling us that "NOTHING happens" is the equivalent of us telling you to "do SOMETHING." I.e., not very informative or helpful...
Is the iPod recognized by iTunes? Did you try using a different USB cable to connect it to your computer? Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed? Etc, etc.

HT1386 After downloading music to my Playlist, when I try to sync the music to my IPod, it gives the error (The IPOD cannot be ejected because it contains files that arer in use by another application. What does this mean?

After downloading songs to my Playlists, when I try to
sync the music to my IPod, an error msge says
"The IPod cannot be ejected because it contains
files that are in use by another application".
What does this mean??

- Terminate the sync
- Reboot the computer
- 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.
- Try again. If still problems try:

When I plug in my iPhone to my mac it doesn't sync the music and when I try to sync the music is says that it is with another library and will delete all the songs on my phone to put the ones from my computer on it.

Whenever I try to sync my phone with my computer it won't automatically sync my new music from my computer to my phone. When i select it to sync it says that it is going to delete all the music off my phone because its already with another device (or something along those lines) but I use my itunes from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how I can fix this so it will sync. Will all the songs on my phone be on my computer so it won't matter if it deletes them off of my phone?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes but when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message indicating there isn't enough space. I thought a 2GB would hold at least 500 songs.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes and when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message that says I don't have enough free space. I thought a 2GB IPOD held at least 500 songs. I've even deleted songs from from iTunes library.

The figures that Apple used to use when saying how many songs coud fit onto any particular iPod were based on a 4 minute song at a Bit Rate of 128Kbps and that's the bit rate that songs sold by iTunes used to be in. However, now the iTunes Store sells songs at 256Kbps (as do many other MP3 stores) - which means that each song now uses twice as much storage space than before.
So if your songs have a bit rate of higher than 128Kbps, and/or they are all longer than four minutes each, that's why 385 songs is filling up your iPod. You can check how much space is being used when the iPod is connected to iTunes Library. Look on the Device panes for the capacity bar at the bottom of the window. How much space is being used by Music?
The solution is either:
Use iTunes to make 128Kbps versions to go onto your iPod - or,
Sync the iPod using Playlists and then choosing which Playlists you want on it. Smart Playlists may be the answer - you can set Smart Playlists up so that they automatically add and remove songs from your iPod, so that there is a constant change of songs (according to the rules you set)

I have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing what should i do?

i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing what should i do?

You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

Recently bought a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found."

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Hey AndreaKK,
I would try the following directions:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

If you have Windows XP, there are slightly different directions in here:

I had to erase my hard drive and now when I try to sync the I phone or Ipad it says I will loose my data on the iphone or ipad . how can I sync the phone or I pad without loosing my music ?

I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) 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.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Converted vinyl to digital but now when I try to burn the music to a cd it says there is a writing error and kicks out the disc.

Just converted a bunch of my dad's old vinyl to digital via the ion ez vinal converter. However when I went to burn the music, which sound fine over the computer, to a cd it says there is a writing error and kicks out the disc. Can I correct this somehow without having to import these all again?

Update yrou OS to 10.6.8.
The problem is not with iTunes or the file so you won't need to import them again.
Try a different brand of disc.

When I try to sync, the music I selected isn't available on my device
