Thanks!

Hey jen082498,
It sounds like you have Automatic Downloads turned on and you were expecting your recently purchased songs from your computer to automatically download to your device. If this is the case, you may need to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this issue:

  • HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

    I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its  After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong? 
    Thanks,

    Hey Willm700,
    Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
    The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.

  • Why won't all of my smart playlists sync from itunes to my ipad?

    Why won't all of my smart playlists sync? They show up in the playlist screen of my ipad music app. When I click on the playlist, there are no songs listed. I sync it again, and the playlist now shows zero songs in the list. I keep trying to sync it, and it goes back and forth from showing there are 60 songs in the playlist, which I can't play, to showing zero songs. Please help.

    Yes, sorry, you are correct, it was iTunes Match. I purchased storage on iTunes Match (probably a bad idea), because I had over 1000 songs on my i-phone 4S -which is eating up my storage space. Well, anyway...After I purchased it, I followed the instructions: go to: Settings, "open" music, "Turn on" iTunes Match. After I did that, I opened up the Music App -on my phone -ALL of my playlists were gone and only 208 songs showed... I messed up my phone once before and I had to log into my i-Tunes account (on my computer) and "reset" to another date. I would like to do that again -if possible...
    Please help!

  • Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

    Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.  I have checked all the settings and all seems correct.  It simply won't pull in all of the contacts.  Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

    I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

  • Why won't my Lightroom 5.3 import files anymore?

    I'm on a Mac with Lightroom 5.3 freshly installed. It worked neatly for a couple of days when importing either from my iPhone or my 6D (from the card reader). Suddenly it stopped doing that. I've been through all the discussions and I've tried the following steps:
    - delete the preference file (and re-start Lightroom)
    - re-install Lightroom
    - create a new catalogue (won't work either)
    - checked the permissions (as in the beginning, it would tell me that it can't read my files - but they worked perfectly!), which were fine
    - cleared the "recently used" file paths of the import dialogue
    - re-booted my Mac about a gazillion times
    - updated the RAW software
    - re-installed Lightroom again (but having deleted pretty much everything from the HD that was Lightroom related)
    It just won't work. But before I re-installed Lightroom, it would still give me the "error: can't read files" sign. Now, it simply starts importing (the progress bar starts anyway) and then it just stops at one point, not having imported anything. Lightroom doesn't freeze, it just doesn't do anything and the progress bar stops. I wanted to  attach a screenshot to show you what it looks like right now, but that didn't work either, so whatever.
    Here's the thing: it still works in Lightroom 4. So now I've been importing into Lightroom 4 and adding the files without moving them to Lightroom 5. But what kind of workflow is that? It's literally killing me because I've paid money for the software and I was patient enough to go over all the trouble shooting, but I'm really out of wit. I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is my observation:
    My Pictures and my Movies folder are on an external harddisk. I have an alias for both of them in my User folder.
    The Finder can access the catalogs on the external harddisk without problems.
    When I create a catalog on my SSD, detach the external drive, delete the aliases and create folders Pictures and Movies on the SSD everything is fine.
    When I delete the folders Pictures and Movies on the SSD again, attach the external drive and re-create the aliases things go wrong.
    The problem is that Lightroom can't handle the alias! That's all.
    This problem has never been an issue until the lastest version (5.7) of LR.
    Whatever I do in terms of access rights to the alias and/or the folder the alias points to, it won't work.
    Please fix this URGENTLY!

  • HT204370 Why won't certain episodes download?

    I bought a season of Breaking Bad and some episodes will not dowbnload. Why?

    It's set to manuall sync.  We have 4 ipods now in the house, so we need to manually sync.  I think I found the problem.  The albums in question were given to us on a dvd.  I uploaded them and they are on one of the ipods, they won't sync to this new one though.  I did some digging and the music files are not on my hard drive.  Can I transfer them from the original ipod to the computer and then on to the new ipod?

  • Why won't my LR 5.5 import any images from my cf cards or external drive

    Hi.  My Lightroom was working just fine until yesterday, no problem importing anything and now nothing.  I have tried importing my raw images from my cf card and I get "following images could not be imported because they could not be read" (97).  I can import these directly into my external and they are there so I know it is not a card issue. In fact I popped in a card that loaded just fine last week with the same images that it previously downloaded and still nothing.
    I also tried importing the files in from my external and from a desktop folder.  Nothing. When I do this I get  "Could not copy a file to the requested location.  (883).
    This is so frustrating, I have several shoots this week and need to have my lightroom back running as it was.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Working off a mac desktop 10.9.3
    Thanks

    This message means that you do not have WRITE permission to the destination directory (where the photos will be copied to). So, here is what you should do
    Go to the Import dialog box in Lightroom, and make a note of the destination directory (it may not be the diretory you were using previously, sometimes it gets changed accidentally)
    Change the permissions on this directory to WRITE permission (or change the desitnation directory back to the directory you had been using previously)

  • Why won't chapter markers in FCP5 import to idvd6?

    I recently imported a video project that I created in FCP5 into iDVD6 for DVD authoring. I put chapter markers in the video project with the idea that IDVD6 would create the sub menus. For some reason they are not showing up. I've checked the appropriate boxes in preferances but no luck. Am I missing something? Or is this a bug that Apple needs to fix?
    Has anyone else had a problem or a fix for this? Please let me know.

    I have also been tearing hair out with similar problems. Found some info similar to those given above. Making sure that chapter markers are at least 2 seconds away from transistions and also away from clip ends( 1second I think is min here). finally after much resaving it all worked as it should.
    Now doing seperate project and its here we go again. Have now got chapter markers to work fine but now the clips which are 16:9 are showing up as 4:3 but only when you "play movie" or preview scenes. The menu's look fine.
    Something very weird is going on.
    The real pain is its soooooo easy when it works..............

  • Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

    I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
    This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

    I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
    Here is what I've done:
    And nothing shows up in the event folder.
