Why can't i sync my music to my iphone?

everytime i sync my iphone to my computer, it resets my contacts and notes. i also can't sync music to my iphone and i dont know why, please help!

I have no idea what you're doing then.
I believe I have two songs from the iTunes store, both free. Everything else is either from my own CDs or is digital music from other sources, including retailers such as Amazon. I have no problem getting that music onto my iPod. Nor do I use iTunes Match.

It only syncs (through USB) the songs that I had previously bought off of iTunes.
I'm not sure what you mean by "through USB".
The process is:
Import the music from CD into your iTunes Library.
Add digital music (from non-Apple sources) to your Library
Sync iPod/iPhone with iTunes.
Job done
So what are you doing? Can we assume that you have the music in your iTunes Library? If so, what do you do now?

Why can't I sync iTunes music on my iPhone 5?

Recently, music has stopped syncing beween my iPhone and iTunes on my Mac. There are two playlists on my iPhone 5 that seem stuck there. Any iTunes sync to change playlists does nothing at all. I have tried deleting the 2 playlists directly from the iPhone, then syncing with iTunes, but the sync simply replaces those two unwanted playlists back on the iPhone, even though they are not checked to sync in iTunes on my Mac. The playlists I wish to transfer do not sync, while the unwanted ones on the iPhone can't be deleted.
I'm running the latest version of everything. Please help!

Contact whomever supports the sling player and ask them.

Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

Hello cwill2
Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

The only music that is syncing is the music that I bought through iTunes... WHY CAN"T IT JUST BE SIMPLE?! (I don't have a backup of it..)

I share a Toshiba Qosmio with my fiance as our 'home' computer, i recently bought an iphone 4, he has a 4s why can i not sync my music to itunes? Is there a way to have 2 seperate accounts on iTunes using the same computer

My fiance and I share our home laptop, he is awaiting his new Mac arrival. During this time I have sold my old laptop and used this one, Toshiba Qosmio. When i plug my iphone 4 into iTunes and try to sync the music, it prompts a window that says if i sync music his, from his iphone 4s will override mine and erase my music. Isn't there a way I can have 2 seperate accounts or just delete his, as he is getting a new one? I have tried uninstalling although it still comes up to his account. TERRIBLY FRUSTRATED!!!! I am new to the iphone, as we were Droid users prior to this. Thank you for any help

How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

Why can't I sync my music automatically anymore to my iPhones ?

I've got two iPhone 4's. Something has happened in the settings so that I can no longer "automaticall" sync my music.I'll select the albums and artists I want to sync and then press sync and it never transfers my selections. I can sync my music to our iPads with no problem. I believe this problem occured after I did a restore on thr phones because they were both having weired problems. I figure it has to be a setting but I can't figure it out. I've had iPones for years but can't figure this out. Please help!

I restart my phone and computer, then it let me sync. If you have same problem try this, it might work.

Why can't I sync my music without erasing my entire current iphone library???? Newly purchased MP3s don't transfer from my (authorized) laptop itunes.

My desktop no longer works where previous MP3s and CDs were downloaded. I currently use my laptop now and cannot get recently purchased MP3s to sync on my iphone 4 without erasing my current iphone library and replacing it with what is on my laptop. I've searched and experimented with every possibility (it seems) without taking the "big step" of syncing my entire library. My current iphone library has 990+ songs and my laptop itunes library only has 381. I don't want to lose what I've got already. Anybody????

Why can't I sync my music in iTunes when I have enough space?

I bought a new laptop and downloaded the new iTunes, I thought that when you sync to a new iTunes it automatically deletes what's on you iPhone and puts whatever is on your new iTunes.
I currently have ~1000 songs on my iPhone at the moment (There is still free space available on my iPhone, but not a lot) and have tried to sync with my new itunes that only has 600 but it won't let me because it's saying I need additional space? If my iPhone can fit 1000 songs on it at the moment, why can't it reduce it to 600? I don't understand.
Also, sorry if this is in the wrong category, please let me know so I can move it.

Sometimes a simple restart or reset of the iPad will help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, check out this support article.

Why can't I back up music from my iPhone or iPod to my iTunes?

Happy with my iPhone 4s so far, no battery issue's and an excellent phone but there is one thing I dislike with a passion.
I own more than one computer, I have desktops, laptops and netbooks and I have music I have purchased or recorded from vinyl or backed up from CD on different machines. I want to place this music and videos onto my iPhone to enjoy but when I try to get iTunes to sync it tells me it will delete the music currently on my iPhone for the new playlist? This is ********!
For example if I were to go through the lengthy process of backing up all of my music from my various computers and collections to only one PC and then making a huge playlist just for my iPhone, then my main PC breaks and dies, my only option would be to either never add more music to my iPhone or lose all of the music on my iPhone? And please don't come back with purchases from iTunes will be available, my music collection and everybody else's is much greater than an iTunes collection.
This is the dumbest feature of the iPhone in my opinion and makes functionality a pain.
Is there a work around for this problem? or do you just have to accept you lose everything in the event of a stolen computer or hard disk failure?

Put all your music in one computer liberary, network the computers to use this shared resource so that you can add and remove music from any computer on your network. You are then saving space across all your computers and will be able to keep your music archive well organized.
Back up your music on an external hard drive, USB drive, backup drive or cloud storage just like you would anything else you don't want to lose. Having the music on various computers isn't more safe than having it on one computer. If you have it on one computer and it crashes you lose everything its true, but if you have it on multiple computers you will only lose part of your library but the chances of something going wrong are now upped because you're working with 4 computers. Its good to back everything up anyways.
Sync phone with one computer that has all the networked music in its library. Live long, prosper, grow in the force, etc.

Why can I not manually drag music to my Iphone 4?

Ok, so just to clarify I only manage on one computer with my Iphone which is my laptop. Manage music and videos is already clicked. I can't drag a single song to my Iphone. I don't know why its acting this way. I can't tell you how many times I had restored the crap of my Iphone these past 3 days. Nothing works that I have come up with. So if someone can help me, it would be appreciated.

Make sure you meet the following requirements:
iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
To drag and drop files, make sure "Manually manage Music and videos box is checked

Why can't I sync my notes from my iphone to my iMac?

Hello,
I wanted to sync my notes from my iphone 4s to my imac(OS X 10.8.2)
So I went to icloud on my iphone, checked the 'notes' box and made a icloud mailaddress, but it never askes me to set a password. But a account was created anyway and I can send and receive mails with it.
I went to my imac, settings, icloud and there I wanted to enter my new icloud emailadress, but it asked for a password. I have allready tried my appleID password but the account is nog being added.
I also tried checking the notes box with the icloud option that was in the left column, but nothing is happening.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Yanara
