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

Amen my friend! I am so tired of their ****. The ONLY time i can play the music I tricking purchased is the i am on a strong wifi signal. I am out in the sticks, forget it, my library shrinks from around 7000 to about 200! Its wrong!

ok, I was cursing soundly about not being able to transfer music to my ipod too. I put and left on the wifi connection. Suddenly it was processing normally. Now I can't see how having wifi activated makes any difference not being a techie but give it a shot. I'll cross my fingers for you. 🙂

Hi guys. Been having this problem for soon long and Its so annoying. I don't have a total fix but something which may help some of you. I mainly use apple music so theres only a few tracks on my mac that i want on my phone that aren't available such as downloaded mixtape etc. They play fine on my iTunes and sync to my phone only to show as grey and do not play whatsoever, they even crash my phone slightly if it comes on shuffle. So annoying. However if you have iCloud music library turned on you can actually right click the tracks you're having problems with on your computer iTunes library and select 'add to iCloud music library'. It should be second on the list directly underneath 'add to playlist'. There will then be a loading circle show on top right hand corner of iTunes screen as it uploads. Once its finishes it should now show in your music library on your phone as long as you have everything set to sync across devices.

If this DOESNT show as an option iTunes is being a pain in the *ss but its ok theres still a way. You will need to delete the song from your iTunes, it should prompt and say that it will also download from iCloud library. Ok this.

Next locate the actual audio file on your hard drive wherever its been saved, double click, should automatically open and play in iTunes. The add to iCloud music library option should now be there.

This workaround only works one track at a time which is a bummer but if theres certain songs your desperate to be able to listen to on your phone its good enough.

Sorry if I've used wrong computer terms and if this is confusing but i don't know a lot about computers and terminology etc

Hopefully this will help at least one person!

Make sure there's enough storage space on the iPhone.

Tap Settings > General > About

Then swipe down to: Available

BTW, you are clicking the Sync button bottom right side of the window correct?

I have the same problem.

Except when I check on "what on my iphone" tab I can see the tracks but they are shaded out and wont play ?

I have that exact problem as well. Idk what I did wrong to deserve this, but seriously, it's not fun.

Same problem, plenty of space. Started after I updated to 7. Very frustrating.

this helped me. its a HUGE pain to do it this way, but at least i can add music to my ipod now. thanks.

I have exact same problem. Nothing new will transfer to my iPhone 5. Apple please fix this problem. Thanks.

Thanks, it helps. 🙂

Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Follow the steps in this link. It helped a lot.

To access shared libraries use the iTunes Remote app.

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

And, Siri thinks my new music has been transferred to my iPhone. She is looking for it and gets stuck.

I won't be buying any more iTunes until this is corrected.

Same problem here. IPhone 4S iOS 7.0.3. Some of the music that I purchased originally on my phone and listened to many times will even become unavailable too after syncing. Very frustrating!!!
