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

When I plug in my phone into my computer and try to sync my playlists on iTunes to my iPhone, the sync completes but the songs will not transfer. I even tried deleting the existing playlists from my iPhone and I couldn't even do that. I have literally tried everything that I know. Any suggestions?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

That will not help iTunes will Will not recognize any idevice let alone support it.A 2007 Mac mini is outdated Apple is forcing us to buy a newer computer at 10.6.8 it can,t be updated.Why own a iPhone if you can,t back it up and add music from your own music Library that you imported from thousands of songs and spent the time to do it . Apple is becoming too controlling .

I know this all too well. I recently downloaded one of twenty one pilots old albums and my favorite song in there is air catcher. For some weird reason it disappeared from my phone one day, so I tried to put it back on. Every time I tried it wouldn't show up. I deleted the album and put it back on my phone. Every song was on there except for that one song.


I have plenty of storage and have pressed sync dozens of times and I'm pretty fed up. If my phone can take the whole album, then it has plenty of room to take one more song.
