Why won't some of my songs show up on playlists?

I recently decided to reorganize my playlists. I put as many songs as I wanted in the playlists on iTunes, but when I synced my iPod, only about a third of the songs show up in the playlists on my iPod. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Hi James -- I really have not used the @me.com, nor the @icloud.com (those were set up for me by Apple). The ones that go to my HP are the gmail.com and the aol.com ones. Interesting that, when my HP is shut down, THEN the emails come to my iPad3 and iPhone5. Maybe I need to take everything into Apple and have them look at my settings?

Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone 5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check marks for each of the songs that were not successfully synced.

Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check mark in iTunes for the songs that are not properly syncing.

I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
Perfection!

Why won't some of the songs on my iPhone show me who the song is by?

On my iphone, I go to my music and play a song and when I click on it, it will only show the artist. It will not show what the song is called. This happens to quite a lot of my songs and I'm getting really irritated with it.

Obviously the ones I bought from itunes aren't like that. Some of them I use youtube and convert it to vidtomp3. But when I first started doing that, the songs were fine. So I don't think that's the issue. I just don't know why it happens to some songs and not others.

Why are only some of my songs showing up on my ipod?

My itunes says that I have 3264 songs on my Ipod but when i unplug it my ipod is only showing that I have 457 songs. I have tried resyncing my ipod but that doesn;t seem to do anything. I don't have my autofill settings on choose songs randomly so I don't know what is going on? it is also really random about which songs it has and which ones it doesn't so it is not like some albums are appearing and others are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello samanthaflora
If you see a cloud option, then you have the option of Show All Music turned on. If you go to Settings > Music and look for that option, you can turn it off to not show any of your purchased history to show up in the Music App. Try that and then sync the music again to see if it still shows up as double. If it is, then could you take a screen shot and add it to the reply so that way we can see what you are describing to better assist you.

Why aren't some of my songs in my Itunes playlist not syncing to my ipod?

There is no exclamation mark, they all play in itunes, they are all mp3 format, there is room on my ipod, and they are not from different accounts, so what's going on?

No, they're not going onto my ipod at all. In the end i had enough and downloaded different versions from other sites and they worked but i still want to know what is going on because if it happens again with more songs it will be difficult to re-do all of them.

That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
installed on the
user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
best to stay with
commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
your CSS. Start

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
"Sorry, something went wrong.
This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
Thanks.

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes?

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes? Other photos taken with same camera sync fine from iPhoto while certain events are inexplicably incompatible. I've recently foundvthecsame occurrence with certain mp3s and videos from iTunes.

For photos try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

Hey,
Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
didn't download correctly.
Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

Hey,
spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
really understand.

Why won't itunes play certain songs on macbook

I bought a song on iTunes recently. It played a few times, but yesterday when I tried to play it the song wouldn't play. I checked it again today and it still won't play. When I sync my ipod it won't show up either. Please help, i'm not good with computers and I have no clue what to do!

I will try that on my Macbook Pro when I get home, if I can figure out how to do it (some more detailed instructions would help. . .). The problem I'm having is songs I ripped from CDs into my iTunes library. The songs and CDs are all available for purchase on iTunes, so I'm not talking about some obscure music. iTunes recognizes them. Some of the songs from a given CD play; others do not. In two cases, entire albums won't play. were originally ripped from CDs into my iTunes library on an HP computer running Windows 7 (my Macbook doesn't have a CD drive). All of the songs appear and play fine there. However, the "grayed out" iCloud icon problem exists (and I can't play those songs) on my Macbook, my iPhone 5S or on my PC at work - which leads me to believe it's an iCloud or iTunes problem. . .

Why won't iMovie 10.0.01 show any still photos?

On the new iMovie update, every single time I add a photo to my timeline, it shows up green! Why won't it show any still photos? Does anyone have a solution?

Are the photos too large of a file maybe?

Why won't iTunes import one song from a CD?

Occasionally when I import a CD to my iTunes library via the File menu/Import CD on Snow Leopard; iTunes 10, iTunes appears to skip a song and no information appears when I enter the search terms in the search box. This happens even though all title information appears before I click "Import CD" and all the boxes are checked.
I've found that if the CD is still inserted, I can import the songs to a single playlist by dragging the titles to it. So apparently the song did import, but for some reason doesn't appear in the library list.
This isn't usually a problem, but (1) I'd like to know why it happens and (2) how to prevent it, since I'd rather have the complete information in my library. Thanks for anything you can tell me!

I found a solution.
I was importing music from my desktop into iTunes ver. 11.02 but no matter what there was one pesky mp3 from an album that would not import (add to Library). Get Info from the Finder revealed this particular mp3 was set to default to iTunes yet double clicking would not launch iTunes. Nothing would happen. I tried changing the default application although the file would play through VLC it still would not Add to Library. The file would not appear in the Library or in Recenly Added playlist. It's as if to iTunes it didn't exist. Interestingly, from the desktop the file would play through the Finder (spacebar).
I use the excellent and free XLD program for converting FLAC to Apple Lossless. Using this program, I set the output preference to LAME mp3 and opened the pesky mp3 through XLD thereby creating a duplicate. That duplicate file imported to iTunes perfectly.
So while I don't know the cause, it seems the solution was to simply rewrite the mp3 to get it to play nice in iTunes.

Why won't itunes match all songs in library

While enabling iTunes Match, it has only downloaded some of my iTunes library for Home Sharing

Thank you both for your responses. I keep receivng the same error message. I tried to paste a screenshot into this response, but was unable to do so.
The error message reads:
12462 of 14271 songs checked.
iTunes has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again.
I have rebooted, signed out of iTunes Match, and then in again. When I sort library by iCloud status, I can see different iCloud symbols, including an iCloud symbol with an exclamation point within it, an iCloud symbol with a slash through it, or a symbol with nothing in it, etc. When I hold the cursor over the symbol, it either reads "Error", "Ineligible", or "Waiting". Or, in other songs, there is no symbol.
Let me try to follow your instructions above, and see if I can resolve some of the songs that weren't able to be downloaded. Thank you.
