my music will not sync

More info needed. What are your settings in iTunes for your device. Do you have manual or auto syncing selected. Have you selected any songs to sync, etc.,

Same problem!

I flagged ebooks, snoozes and music to be synced automatically.

After sync, only apps are synced and not ebooks, snoozed and ebooks.

I've win 7: that's the problem or what?

Please help!

Same problem here: no syncing of music to my iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1, most recent version of iTunes. I already restored my iphone. Still syncing is not working.

I have an iPhone 4 and have backed it up before updating to the new version iOS 5.0.1, my apps have gone bac on the phone and my photos and videos never went off but all my music i have purchased on my phone and computer are not on my phone. I have over 500 songs that have gone off my phone and i am really angry because everyone is saying to sync the iphone again, unplug it and plug it back in but THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!! I have gone onto my itunes app and gone to purchased and all the music is showing there but saying the music i bought on my phone is already there when CLEARLY IT'S NOT!! The only songs that it is letting me re-download are the songs off my iTouch which i don't want on my phone. I just need someone to let me know if they are having or had the same problem and can please let me know what steps to take. Many Thanks. 🙂

half of my music and all my apps sync.still not pleased. any ideas?😕

I am not able to sync all mu music. part of it syncs to my iphone 4 but part of it is greyed out on the phone. I was using auto sync but changed to manual and selected all. i have backed up, synced, unplugged nand tried again with same result. the songs that are greyed out have not moved on my computer and i have never had a problem with them before.any suggestions?

i have scheduled an appt with my local apple store genius bar as they seem terribly baffled by what we have experienced. i will post feedback from whatever they have suggested or mentioned i need to do

Same problem here, not sure how to fix??

Stupid Itunes crap is so complicated. You have to be Einstein to figure it out!

I cannot sync my iPad to my computer. Some music is on my computer and some is on iPad. I just want all of my music on both devices. Why is this so complicated?

Ok everyone, I was in the same boat and after reading your posts and other sites, I came up with this process.

1. Deselect all sync to music. You will need to double check that all artist, albums and any manual music selects are unchecked and removed (Note: manual portion is near the bottom of the page.
2. Deselect and insure all books and audio books are removed.
3. Drop the firewall (One person I read about said this fixed it for him, not sure though)
4. Sync the phone to insure all has been removed from the phone (Photos are ok, do not worry about them).
5. Eject the phone, count to 20, then plug it in again. Check the phone to insure all the music is still not on the phone.
6. Restore the phone (When it asks you about to establish the phone with your (iphone name) or as a new phone, select your iphone name.
7. After the phone has been restored, eject it, count to 20 and plug it in again. Double check that all music is still not on the phone.
8. Run one sync (with no music selected) and see if any music went on the phone. (There should be no music on the phone still)
9. Eject the phone, count to 20 then plug it back in.
10. Now go to the music section and select your music. As you select, in the upper right hand corner of the page is a counter that counts the number of songs you have selected, watch that number.
11. Click the sync button and watch at the top of the itunes page at the status bar. the number after the of word should match what you have selected. If it has then you music will synce with the phone.

12 After confirming this, get your firewall back up.

Now you are right, it is a **** of a procedure but it worked for me. I do not know at this point what process was not needed (firewall, removing of the books, etc) All I can tell you is that this process worked for me. Going forward I am not sure of the process for other elements as well (movies, newly created playlists, etc). I would advise input from all who try this because it seems to me that Apple has missed some serious QA testing in regards to their latest phone.

I have tried many alternatives given, but your actually work. After many hours of looking and trying, William your way of doing it is cumbersome but works.

Pls Apple fix the bug.

it worked!!!!!!! 🙂

I think that this problem should be solved as soon as possible.😠
