Why cant I sync my mp3 files to my iPhone 4?

Around 4 months ago, I found a load of old mp3 files that I ripped from a CD. I put them onto my iTunes and synced my iPhone (4) (iOS6) over wifi, and it all worked perfectly. The songs stayed on my iPhone for around two months, but since I have updated to iOS7.0.4, and iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7, and now nothing will sync over Wifi, or over cable. These songs still show up on my iPhone, but with the (stationary) installing icon next to it.
Recently I found (even) more songs in mp3 that I wanted to put on my iPhone. I added them to my library, added the artist, album and cover, and attempted to sync my iPhone. They are not going across, and I'm getting fustrated. I can still listen to the songs in my Library through the "Share" option in the iPhone music app, but for that to work, my laptop and my iPhone have to be connected to Wifi. I want to be able to listen to music without Wifi, and without having to turn my laptop on.
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, why the **** hasn't Apple fixed this problem?
Has anyone fixed this problem?
I appreciate your help,
Chris.

For God's sake, over a month, 125 views and no replies?! Please can someone help me?!

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash?  They are not locked.

    Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.  I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either.  I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck.  Can anybody please help?  iOS 10.8.5

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • Why cant I edit My raw files from Canon 6D

    Why cant I edit My raw files from Canon 6D.

    It is difficult to know why because we don't know what version is your PSE and what is your operating system.
    That aside, if your camera is fairly new then first try to update your software by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If this doesn't solve then it may be that your camera is not supported by your PSE (mainly 10 and before) and so you may need to use DNG conversion utility.  The latest version is 8.1 but unpaid MVPs here will tell you more about it.

  • Why can't I add mp3 files to iTunes for Mac 12.1?

    I recently tried to add some mp3 files downloaded from a website that don't have DRM (it's folk dances for us to practice to) to iTunes 12.1 but without any success. Attempt to drag and drop the files from the downloads folder are ineffectual as though I've tried to perform a prohibited action.  I've tried using Import to Library but again without success.  I've searched for the files by name as I saw some reports that files were added but not visible in the library list until searched for - nada.  The files aren't old and the website is a well managed secure site so I am not thinking this is some dodgy file issue.
    Any help gratefully received - I'm brave enough to do a bit of 'Terminal' tinkering but am no expert.
    Thanks

    Hey Wellington Boots, I think I may have find an answer for you... and myself ; )
    Is it possible that you brought back your music from a backup or time machine?
    If so, make sure you have the proper rights on that specific folder... To check that do the following:
    Go into the finder in the iTunes folder: /Users/youruser/Music/iTunes
    Then right click on the iTunes folder and choose Get Info in the menu
    Unlock the properties by clicking on the lock icon in the lower right of the window
    Then in the bottom matrix make sure your username is in the list with Read & Write
    If it's not present (or you can't add it for some reason) click on the staff Name and change it's Privilege to Read & Write
    Now one more step, click on the settings wheel at the bottom middle of the window and select Apply to enclosed items
    This step may take a few seconds or minutes if you have a lot of music.
    Once this is done you should be able to easily add music in itunes.
    ScreenShot of the Get Info details
    Have fun.

  • Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?

    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?

    I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
    Hope you get a reply!

  • Why can't I transfer mp3 files downloaded on mac to iphone?

    I downloaded some MP3 files from a program online.  I can play the files on my computer (dragged & dropped), but I really want to listen to them on my iPhone. I've tried to upload them to iTunes on my iPhone from iTunes on my Mac.  They are on my phone, but they are grayed out.  There is no content behind them. Did I miss a step?  Thanks!

    Sounds like you downloaded the TV Shows in HD. High Definition (HD) content is not compatible with your older iPod Classic as HD video resolution exceeds that of what is capable by this particular model.  You'll need to redownload the standard version.
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • Why cant I drag and drop photos onto my iPhone in iPhoto?

    I just want to put some photos on my iPhone!

    The iPhone does not support disk mode.
    If you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage and management, you can create an iPhoto album or albums for selected photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto. Choose selected albums and select the iPhoto albums in the window below followed by a sync. The named iPhoto albums will be transferred to your iPhone with the order of the photos in the iPhoto albums retained.
    If you want to remove an album of photos, deselect the album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. To remove select photos, remove the photos from the iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
    To add additional photos to your iPhone, add the photos to an iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync, or create a new iPhoto album for the photos, select the new album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
    Photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync process.
