Will not synch all my music from itunes library]

i have close to 5000 songs but it stops at 705. it says it cant find my folder & tells me to check if wi fi connection on!! what do i do to get all my songsback on my ipod

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Will not transfer songs to iPod from iTunes Library

I'm using an iPod mini (without video) and trying to sync with music on my Windows 2000 desktop. I've ripped music from my CD's and added them into the iTunes library. I'm saving my library on a network space. I plug in my iPod and auto-sync. The iPod appears to be syncing, but does not actually add any music. All the songs have checkmarks next to them, so that's not the problem. I've also tried to manually manage the music and drag the music to the iPod and the same thing happens. It's synced up the playlists I've created, but there isn't any music actually transferred to the iPod.
Any suggestions?

I updated the software on my iPod Shuffle and now it does not recognize any of my songs from the iTunes Library that were previously easily available. All the songs, except two recently added cd's, have an exclamation mark next to them. When researching, it says the files are no longer found ... I have to physically inport each song all over again in order for iTunes to recognize them ... what a pain that will be ... not very happy. I should not have updated the software and avoided all the hassle with re-importing my music. also not sure how to remove all of the exclamation marked music in my iTunes library. Not sure if this is the same issue you experienced??

Because of a PC problem I have lost all my music from iTunes Library. All my music is still on my Nano (1st generation). How can I safely transfer my music into my library, I don't want to risk losing it.

Because of a PC problem, I have lost the entire contents of my iTunes Library. I still have all my music on my Nano (1st generation). Is there a way of safely transferring my music from my Nano into iTunes Library. I would hate to lose it all.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

New ipad air 2. Itunes on Mac (snow leopard). New ipad will only synch music from restored from my old ipad 2. Won't synch all other music from itunes.

Just purchased new ipad air 2. When I performed system restore from the backup from my old ipad 2, the music that was on my old ipad transferred to my new ipad. But I can't synch the rest of the music I have in my itunes on my mac (snow leopard. itunes 11.4). Suggestions?

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

I'm setting up my new iPhone and already have an iTunes account. It's asking me if I would like to set up as a new iPhone, or Restore from the backup of my iTouch. If i set up as a new iPhone will that delete all my music from my previous iTunes account

It will not do anything at all to your computer.

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car audio radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. There is a specific way to save the music into folders and name them. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW.

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. So it plays certain folders, then it skips folders. in certain folders it skips tracks. apparently there is a specific way to save the music into folders onto the USB with regard to naming the tracks and folders.. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW. Can anyone please help.

It is a stick, Cruzer Blade 16gig.
In the manual it says the following about the USB storage device:
1. Playable folder hierarchy is up to 8 tiers
2. Playable folders up to 500
3. Playable files up to 15 000
Under sequence of audio files it says that the user cannot assign folder numbers and specify playback sequences with this unit. It also gives an example of a hierarchy:
01 - folder
Under that is 02 which is also a folder
Under that are compressed audio files 01 to 05: folder number
Under that there is another folder same concept as above - I have attached that part of the manual in this response.
I named my folder - Folder 001 Artists name and then in that folder I added the tracks as:
001 Song title
002 song title
It played the 1st song in the folder and skipped to the next folder, I can't even locate the other tracks.
On another folder I saved 31 songs but only 29 played so I am not sure whether there is a limit.
All I need is an example of how to number and name everything.

My ipod will not let me manually enter music from itunes library to ipod

my ipod will not let me manually enter music from itunes library to ipod - when i click and drag it, i get the red circle with the red line.

i have tried signing out and signing in, closing and reopening itunes & shutting down my computer.

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

IPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones

Problem: iPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones. Contacts synch fine. Was no problem in the past until...
Sorry for the length. Trying to give all info I can.
Summary: Had to get motherboard fixed under factory warranty which included new hard drive, and reinstall everything on an HP DV7 laptop. So this is a clean installation of everything on the laptop (Win7). Configuring iTunes and Outlook 2010 for two iPhone 4S users (myself and wife) was my last step. Re-established each user account to iTunes. Calendar synch problem popped up on one of two iPhones that did not exist before.
Prior history: all synchs worked great prior to the clean install and I never had a problem.
Config: Windows 7, two iPhone 4S, Week Calendar apps on both. All software up-to-date on iPhones and Win7 (fanatic about that). Had OL2010 PST datafile backups and simply used them for the OL re-installs. OL2010 makes that easy. Each user has their own Win7 login to keep our stuff separate. Of course, OL has Calendar as part of its install.
Week Calendar apps on both are configured with same calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Verified each iPhone Calendars app, Calendar button: From My PC listing has all these checked: All From My PC, Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work; Other: Birthdays.
Difference: In using iTunes to synch, iTunes said the iPhone account was different from the OL account and asked to merge or replace. Apparently this is normal for iTunes on a new install (since basically it is) synching to prior synched stuff.
iTunes settings for both: Connect iPhone for each user and checked INFO settings for Contacts and Calendars.I used “selected calendars” and verified. Each user has all four calendars checked.
NOTE: Prior to each users first synch below, neither user had anything in OL2010 Calendar. Can't blame on recurring events problems in OL. ALL the events are on the iPhones and are being synched TO the PC to populate OL2010 Calendars.
Additional Note: Contacts was already loaded into OL from my backups so synching has no problem.
User 1 iPhone: Success 1st try.
In iTunes, selected “merge info” instead of replace.
Results: User 1 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 including the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). 4 calendars showed up. No problems at all. Wonderful! expected behavoir.
User 2 iPhone: Still failing to synch.
In iTunes, selected “replace” instead of merge info. Apple’s dialog is incredibly confusing and non-explicit on what copies to what and what it does.
Results: User 2 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 for Contacts. DID NOT synch the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Only calendar that shows up in OL is Calendar and it doesn’t contain any data. iTunes has no errors and the synch status bar indicates everything went fine.
Tried: I deleted the PST files and copied the backup files back to OL to start over. ITUNES no longer gives me the merge info versus replace option. I’ve synched multiple times but the calendar data will not synch.
Not Tried: Creating the same remaining named calendars (Home, My Birthdays, Work) in OL and trying again.
ALL suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
I now have one very ****** off wife.

HT5610 how to sync all my music from itunes

I there a way to sync all my music from iTunes on my different computers including my work computer? I have all the computers authorized but when I buy a new somg and download it, it does not show up on my work computer when I start iTunes.

Hello mchughes,
Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are wanting your iTunes Store purchases to automatically appear on all your authorized devices. Automatic Downloads is a feature that can be turned on or off in the preferences of iTunes on a computer, and in the Settings of an iOS device. This article will help you get that turned on:
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
Also if you have tv shows or movies you buy and want to see on all the devices but not necessarily download them you can configure iTunes to show your iTunes purchases for streaming or downloading when you want with this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12468
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.
