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

Thank you sooooo much!!! That was it precisely!!! 😀

Just had the exact same problem. Turning off passcode did not work for me. What worked was to turn off "icloud music library" under the music app on my iPhone.

Thanks for this answer, it worked for me but I also noticed that downloads I do in You Tube and use a converter to MP3 program those songs go directly into my ITunes on my computer but I cannot transfer these songs onto my IPhone unless I right click on the song and select create ACC version which it redoes the song and that version is able to convert to my IPhone then. So if anyone wants to know about direct downloads off of You tube to a converter program you have to convert to ACC version to get the song to work in your IPhone. This is a pain in the *** to do but it works for now until Apple gets their **** together and does something about fixing this issue.

Many thanks from the Mightycat.

This does not work for me seeing as I do not have a mac but I tried it with my pc asus computer and did what you said and still nothing wont sync properly to my IPhone I am ready to go out and buy a MP3 player this is not working at all for me no matter what I do.

Simply go to the music tab on the sync page this is the page that opens when you plug in your device. iPhone iPad ect. When you click on tab it gives you the option to sync I tire library click this tab make sure you backed device up first and it will transfer all your library .

Entire library not I tire sorry for mistake

OMG Thank You! It's such a pain but this technique definitely works 🙂

So i simply unpluged my iphone 6 and let it sync over the wifi and each and everyone of my songs started downloading. i believe the problem is between the hardware (itunes) or computer

I am appalled how not user friendly Itunes/Ipad is - even on this site, one has to circle through endless pages before being able to post anything. I wanted to post my own question, but it was not possible, that's Apple for you! I bought this piece of .... almost two years ago and deeply regretted it. Since then, I'm unable to use Itunes as a library for my songs and transfer them to this device. Itunes recognizes the Ipad, I select the songs (because syncing would of course erase my library, another brilliant failure of the software), but nothing happens. Simply won't transfer over. Furthermore, when I bought a new PC and had to download Itunes again, Itunes no longer recognized the library on Ipod, so I can no longer use this device. And since it's impossible to import the Itunes library from the old PC, that is it, you're s.....d. Thanks Apple! Now I understand why your stocks are failing so miserably on the market (will be dumping them to the garbage soon along with Ipad). You simply don't want to understand what the customers want and need here, but I'll help: 1. customers want user friendly devices 2. customers don't want to be forced to purchase anything from your store 3. customers want to be able to upload/download content between devices with ease. What is this Itunes software anyway? A complete failure! It is NOT working, the internet is FULL of complaints and no resolution from Apple 3. customers want usb ports where with a click of a button content goes back and forth 4. customers want to be able to hear when Skype is ringing, another major failure with this device. Honestly what are you hoping for Apple? And what is this ridiculous auto correct thing? You can't even type, it writes nonsense.

i found a solution guys: check your wifi connection

That worked but it is stupid it won't sync if you want to add 1 song

Thanks tho

I had this problem but then I clicked on my iphone (the little iphone button next to the drop down menu) the clicked on music in the settings section and it says sync all music libraries. Hope this helps. :-)

This problem rears its ugly head every now and then. It is a **** nuisance. Eventually Apple release a new version that fixes it for a while. Obviously they don't know what actually causes it. The answer probably is to buy a new mp3 player that doesn't rely on Itunes.

yes also me, I'm about to throw this Iphone6 and curse it... I can't even transfer my music into it,, seriously apple? how you will satisfy us customers on this? we pay a lot of money and can't even listen to our favorite songs. I will definitely switch to P9.... coz everytime I transfer or add music into my library I always got a problem, it's not a friendly user.

I make playlists that have to be exactly 44:30 and time out exactly with certain times. Sometimes playlists on my iPhone 5c the music app through iTunes go from saying Downloaded at the top to the cloud with the down arrow. I used to be able to fix this by re-syncing with iTunes, but now that does nothing and if I try to do it on my phone by hitting the cloud symbol it comes up that my Apple ID has expired and to go to View Account. I can't find View Account in the music app on my phone, but I did it on my laptop and it is not expired and says it is connected to my phone. So now 3 of my playlists are all messed up and I still have more to make and I get times and play them every day that I work. Please someone tell me how to fix this without deleting anything or calling a number.
