Music not syncing after iOS 7 update

I updated to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 and less than half of my music is syncing to my phone. Any thoughts? I am already hating this update for more than one reason and this is adding icing to the cake...

iPhone 4, iOS 7

"So I tried everything above, and finally found out what was causing my issue. On your phone go to Music and select More at the bottom. Under the Shared option, make sure your entire music library is selected. My phone only had what I had purchased on my iphone selected, not my entire music library. As soon as i choose Music Library all of my songs magically appeared, without having to sync again."


I notice on my iPhone 5 OS7 after sync the song did not appear so I did the above BUT in my case in Shared I had tick on "XY iPhone" and the other shared was "XY's Library" not ticked. So I clicked on the "XY's Library" and after a minute of wait the tick appear and so the new songs appered without having to sync.


It looks like the sync is working but it just shows certain shared songs only.

I thought I'd fixed it. Spent most of yesterday and today taking the CDs again and adding them to the itunes library and copying them into the IPAD one at a time. Everything was fine until one particular track, that appeared to cause it to lock up on the applying changes step. Looking at music on the ipad showed the now playing was switching rapidly between the last track I had played and the track it was stuck on. I turned it all off and tried again. This time it decided to reload the entire library despite being set for manual magament of the music. Thank goodness I've got all the music backed up on another computer, otherwise its really hard to find out what has gone missing.

hi, ive just tried all what has been said but to no avai... so this is what i did to get it to work

1. connect phone to itunes

2. goto music

3. deselect all artists

4.deselect all albums except one

5. apply again (it should work)

6. now select 5 albums

7. apply again

i done this process until all albums were back on


if it hangs on waiting to be applied deselct the last albums, re sync and do them one at a time

(Sorry for my english) After a couple days fighting for copy some new songs on my iPhone 4s with Manual Synching activated, and after delete and copy two times the thousands of songs that I have on my iPhone, I think that iTunes 11.1 has an issue related with the management of the Smart Playlists. For example, with 6 Smart Playlists that I had on the iPhone, one single sound delays 6:02 minutes to be copied. After delete all the Smart Playlists it takes only a few seconds. If I create a new Smart Playlist with 400 songs, then it need around one minute to copy a single song. If a made a new Smart Playlist with some thousand of songs, already it needs some minutes. This issue also dissappear if you uncheck the Realtime update on your Smart Playlists, but if you pretend to manual update them, the problem reappears and iTunes also needs a long time to update the Playlists.

yep, that worked for me. thanks


i had these issues:


songs added to playlists didn't copy

safari not keeping log on details

apps not storing favourite type data


previously tried:


unticking/ticking

deleting playlists

restored phone from itunes as backup and as new phone

manually managing files

draging folders in

enabled home sharing


reseting from iphone in settings is the only thing that has worked in the last 3 days of trying to fix.
