Q: i-tunes won't sync CD loaded songs to iPhone

I have an i-phone with the latest OS. I have a HP computer with more than the minimum specs to support i-tunes. A windows 10 update failed causing a reload of windows 10. I-tunes was erased, but the downloaded music remained on the hard drive. I reloaded i-tunes with the latest iteration and made sure the songs were on the app. The CD music will not sync to the i-phone. How can I get the apps to cooperate?

iPhone 6s

    It is possible that the system rebuild has left security permissions in an inconsistent state. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows. Otherwise the following steps should help with erratic syncing behaviour. They assume that all of the content you want on the device is in your library ready for restoring. If it isn't see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device first. I would also recommend you copy everything out of the camera roll if you haven't already.

     

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restore as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup you made earlier.

     

    Use an encrypted backup if you want to preserve passwords, wi-fi settings, web history and health data where appropriate.

    The security settings are correct. There is no way to change the object referred to in your link. Reviewing the other link suggests that I can reload the 75 CDs or buy third party software.

    From your description it appears that the iPhone sees the computer as a new computer.

    To sync with such a "new" computer you have to backup to the "new"computer and restore from the backup and sync.

    If there are non-iTunes purchases on the phone like music from the CDs that are not in your iTunes library on the "new" computer then you need a third-party computer app to copy them to your computer before you restore the iPhone. I use the free iFunBox

    I'm tying to cover the bases for you, and anyone else who thinks your question covers their circumstances. If your iPhone has the same set of media files that are listed in the library then you don't necessarily the need assistance of third party software. If it had more then you might. If you were able to connect to the old iTunes library then your library should the show ratings, play counts and playlists it did previously. If not then there are a couple of free scripts that I've written mentioned towards the end of the recovery article that can grab that data for you. As given I'd advise you to take the opportunity to copy off the content of the camera roll even though it should be restored when you restore the device, just in case something goes wrong. Finally the three steps given will associate the device with a new library or fix up any stalled transfers, as well as cleaning out any other cruft that might have built up on the device.
