Won't play all of itunes music and won't sync books at all

Am having all kinds of problems after updating to the newest software on 3gs.  All of my music shows up on the phone, but only a few songs will play.  Books will not show up at all.  Tried resyncing both music and books and it will not.  Syncs contacts, etc but not those media items.  All the correct boxes, etc are checked in itunes.  When doing an actual sync it only takes seconds where as before with all of my music it took quite a long time.

I could not agree more.  EVERY TIME I use iTunes Match on my Apple TV it cuts off the last 30 seconds of at least 3 out of every 10 songs.  These are songs I bought on iTunes not uploaded from a CD.  There is zero reason this should be happening with a perfect internet connection.  There is no good excuse.  Please fix this Apple!

    Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
    Thank you!

    Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

    i had to get my laptop cleaned and all my itunes music and movies are gone how do i get them back?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    My toshiba laptop that had all my itunes music along with everything else was stolen. Is there a way to get it back or is it gone forever?

    You can re-download all purchased iTunes content, except ringtones, for free:

    That is, if still available in the iTunes store.

    Upgraded to Windows 7
    You did make a current backup of everything before you upgraded, correct?

    No.

  • How to back up all my iTunes music and playlists on a external hard drive

    How do you back up your iTunes music & playlists to an external hard-drive (in this case a W.D.Elements)
    My Computer is an I Mac 27 inch, Late 2013 OSX  Version 10.10 Upgraded to "Yosmite" on the 26th October 2014
    Thanking you in anticipation of your help.
    Vince Cygan

    Thank you Niel,
    My 21,574 music tracks are populating the external hard-drive as I reply. I'm assuming my playlists will accompany them. My playlists start with music from 1914 to the present, each year is divided into 4 month periods so I know almost exactly when each record was released or from 1952 onwards when it entered the charts.
    According to the progress line the procedure should take 2 hrs 20 mins approx.
    Thank you once again Niel

  • I have an iphone 3 and outlook 2010. I cleaned up all my outlook contacts and tried to sync but not all of the existing contacts on my phone show up in outlook. Is there a way to sync all numbers on iphone to oulook so I can clean them up from my desktop?

    I have an Iphone 3 and use Outlook 2010. I just recently tried to sync with my desktop using Itunes and once they were synced I cleaned up alot of the contacts using outlook but when I tried to sync them not all the information from outlook made it to my iphone. Additionally, there are a lot of contacts in my iphone that are not showing up in outlook. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!

  • ITunes Music and Playlists Partially Syncing with 1st Gen ATV

    Anyone have this issue? My 1st gen ATV does not have all the music I've loaded in iTunes and my playlists are only partially synchronized. I've reformatted the ATV and reloaded iTunes 10 - same result.

    I'd like to update this post. Nothing from iTunes will sync with my new iPhone 4s. The only item that transferred to the phone was a ebook, but it, of course, ended up in the iBook App. I have tried rebooting both the computer and the phone, checking preferences and settings. I am baffled - and frustrated. When I first posted, when the iPhone was connected to the computer, and I went to "Music" to select playlists or genre or whatever, "Audiobooks" showed up under genre. Now Audiobooks doesn't show up anywhere. Please help. What am I not doing or doing wrong?

  • Itunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play. I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    Have had no previous problems with iTunes but for past two weeks my I tunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play.
    I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    I'm having the same incredibly frustrating problem. I have 50-60 GBs of music and now literally ALL OF A SUDDEN most of my mp3s won't play in iTunes. Of the songs that do play, many of them sound garbled (almost as if you were listening to them underwater). As others have noted, the songs do in fact play properly in other media players (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc).
    I feel like I've tried just about everything but I can't seem to fix the problem. Nor have I been able to find any viable solutions after hours of scouring the internet. Here is a list of the steps I've taken so far, in chronological order:
    1. Closed/re-opened iTunes
    2. Re-booted computer
    3. Uninstalled/re-installed iTunes
    4. Tried deleting songs from iTunes library and then re-adding them, but after dropping files into the library they don't show up at all, iTunes refuses to import them
    5. Downgraded from iTunes 8 to iTunes 7
    None of these things have helped at all and I am amazed that even after completely uninstalling iTunes 8 and then installing version 7 I'm still experiencing the same problem. And, on top of things, I've found that iTunes 7 is not recognizing the ID3 tags for many of the songs it does import.
    My apologies for the length of this post. I just want to be specific and provide as much info as I can so that maybe we can find a solution to this thing.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks! 

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

  • Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

    i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

  • Itunes erased all music and now wont sync

    I was syncing a song to my iPhone like I always did, and then when I checked my iPhone, the song was all distorted with no vocals. When I played it on iTunes, the song was fine. So then I tried to sync it again, and the song wouldn't show up on the device. So then I tried syncing again and iTunes erased ALL my music. Everything's gone yet it says it's there. I checked on the memory space and it shows the same amount of GB left it had when I had all the songs in. But they won't show up on the Music app. Now every time I try to sync, it starts transferring purchases which took 30 minutes for 40 apps and now only says that it's transferring 18 apps.
    Wth is happening with iTunes and my device? How can I fix this? It's really annoying

    Mine did the same thing!!! I lost all of my music and my playlists and nothing shows up on my phone. It's getting really annoying and I wish someone would explain what the heck is going on.
