Why won't my iPhone sync my music from iTunes?

My iPhone 5 will not sync with my iTunes. It claims to do so, but when I check my phone it's all basically the same prior to the sync. The biggest issue I have right now is my music, I have to delete everything manually from my phone. I'm not sure if it's iCloud or anything but it's becoming a bother. I'm OCD and that was one of the main reason why I chose an iPhone- it's clean and simple. I know for a fact that the issue is not my iTunes, but my iPhone. I've tried restarting and everything, I'm just at a dead end here. SOS.

I have no restrictions on my phone. The AppleID is the same for all of my devices. Yes, iTunes is set up for manual sync.
I figured out the problem though and fixed it. Now, thankfully, everything is fine. I first did an encrypited backup for my phone on iTunes which I saved on my Mac. I then restored my iPhone and went through the process of restoring...I also went through each and every single song to make sure it downloaded properly. After all of that my content and music are perfectly fine.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 download music from iTunes?

    My iPhone 4 says I have downloaded the music that I'm trying to download already, but I haven't. I tried downloading it a bunch of times, but it never works. On the iTunes Store app it will tell me it's already downloaded, but through the music app it has the cloud thing meaning it isn't downloaded. Any help/suggestions is appreciated. Thank you :)
    P.S m phone has 1 GB left, but I'm only trying to download two songs. I deleted a whole album I never listen to anymore in case there wasn't enough room, but it didn't help. It still does the same thing. It just started too because I downloaded music early this morning and it worked.

    Log out of your Apple Store account (Settings > Store > Sign Out) then sign back in.  Should fix the problem.

  • No sync my music from itunes to iphone 5

    No sync my music from itunes iphone 5, which is on my PC. Photos and
    notebook synchronized perfectly. My iPad synchronized to music at the
    same time. I tried absolutely everything.
    I am a musician. Why can not I upload my own music, which I wrote
    myself to my iPhone 5?
    How to solve this problem?

    You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
    Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
    With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

  • My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system.  iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download.  How do I fix?

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

    Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync.  This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351

  • IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

    iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply.  This is timely and aggravating.  Any other solution?
    I have also tried a hard reset.  I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music". 
    Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

    Successful experience with Apple Care.
    If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
    Here's the fix that worked for me:
    1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
    2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
    3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg  ( * this may or may not be there * )
    4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
    5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
    Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • HT1386 I have tried syncing my music from itunes to my iphone 4s and over 30 says don't transfer. It says the files cannot be found. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    I have tried syncing my music from my itunes on my macbook to my iphone 4s and over 30 song won't transfer. It says the files cannot be found. Why is this and can I fix it?

    You can try to repair your library. Once you are sure the files are all taken care of, you can sync the phone to remove all of the music and then sync again to add it back. That should take care of the issue.

  • My iPhone calendar was empty after lion upgrade.  Why won't my iPhone sync with ical?

    After upgrading my imac to Lion and my iphone4 to OS5, my calendars won't sync and my iphone calendar was totally empty.  Why?

    Are you certain that the computer does not see the iPhone?  By default the iTunes Sidebar is off, so maybe turn Sidebar on and see if your iPhone is listed.
    Other questions:
    What OS was on your old computer and now the new one?
    Did you copy over your "iTunes Library.itl" file from the external drive to the new computer?
