Why won't my songs transfer from itunes to my iphone?

Hi,

I have had the same issue. not being able to add individual songs, unless i did complete restore.

this was on ios6, and ios7.

This is my solution.

Total of 4 Steps

Step 1 - (this portion only needs to be done once.) go to the bottom right in itunes, open settings, drag scroll bar to a few hundred megs, and select box choose items randomly., click ok.

Step 2 - drag the songs you would like to sink up to, into your Music library ( on the left hand collum, Directly over the Music Library .

Step 3 - Choose your library in Autofill forms ( in my case its the default; Music)

Step 4- press Autofill , you will see the syncing icon go from grey to black next to each song.

it worked for me

As for Where your back up's are. I would assume it is in your itunes media folder location. ( that is where mine are)

Ussually in \user\ mydocuments\music\itunes, in there you will find your apps, music, etcs

Note: i deAuthorized all itunes licenses on various computers, . i had six licenses. max licenses allowed by apple is five. I authorized my itunes on my windows8.1 pc. wether this step had any effect or not; i do not know.

Cheers🙂

I'm so relieved that my solution worked for me. These instructions and several others' simply don't make any sense to me.

APPLE, STOP THE MADNESS and FIX THIS.! No one should have to put up with this garbage.

I couldn't agree more! It seems most of us started having issues syncing our music after switching to iOS 7 and the latest version of iTunes, so one or more features in both codes must be the reason we're having so many problems, and so many different solutions to them.

i got mine to work and here is what i did. nothing with shared or whatever.

1 goto "settings" on your iphone

2. "general"

3. "usage"

4. "manage usage"

5. "music"

6. click edit and delete all music. yes EVERYTHING. also make sure that you are not using any of the songs as alarms

7. connect with USB to itunes and resync what you want.

tada

I had the same issue after the latest update. Turns out all I had to do was highlight my songs, right-click, and choose "Create AAC version." This worked for me on imported tracks (not iTunes purchased).

GUYS!

I fixed this by doing the following;

1. Plug you phone/ipod onto your laptop

2. Hard shut down your device (press home and lock button at the same time until apple logo appears)

3. Make sure you dont plug your device out

4. Wait for it to reappear on itunes

5. Your songs should start downloading on themselves

You're welcome 🙂

When you deleted your Itunes did it delete all of your music on it? 🙂

Im have similar issues as each of ya'll but i have 2 itunes on 2 computers and one is mine and the other is my dad's i want radioactive by imagine dragons but it says i have already synced to my itunes. I try syncing my music so i can get music for my iphone 4 and it asks if i want to erase everythng like music etc. Ive tried connecting his phone to my itunes and going to the top left of itunes clicking file and scrolling down to devices then it will show sync your iphone or transfer purchases from my iphone. I tried to transfer his purchases and it just transfers his apps and still didn't work ive tried everything Apple seriously needs to fix this crap.

I figured it out i did what i said in my other post i went to the top left and clicked file and went to devices clicked transfer purchases then i let it sync it all. Then went to sync music.You will have to erase all music in sync, then during my selection of music it synced all of the songs i wanted.

I have the same problem. I did what PyroTrumpet5 did, but when I plugged it back in and resynched the phone, nothing happened. I tried again and again but to no avail. I am running the latest versions of iOS 7, iTunes, with an iPhone 5C on Windows 8. Please help!

Never mind, I got it working again. Only now iTunes has lost some of the songs I purchased, as well as imported songs. The imported ones will be no big deal, just find the CD they were on or re-download them, no biggie. It's the ones I actually purchased from iTunes that I'm going to need to figure out. I want to thank Trevormitchell1212 for helping me with this particular situation.

On the first "tab " when you click on your iPhone from the sidebar, there is an option toward the bottom to manually manage music. click and let the setting update (may require a sync). this solved my problem.

Apple you can get F****d

I signed out of and back into "Settings -> iTunes & App Store" on the phone. I think this fixed it, but cat be sure as I was trying multiple things at once.

I turned on Home Sharing, and that seems to have solved the problem. That or the Sync.
