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
I feel like I have tried everying but I know there must be something I am missing! I rebooted my phone, deleted all my backups in itunes, removed all the music from my phone by unchecking songs and then trying to add them (in this case only 1 playlist stayed on the phone), tried manually moving the songs from itunes into my iphone by dragging them.... I can't even remember what else I did. Do you think if I went into the apple store they would help me?
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.
I'm hearing a sound from my laptop indicating I've received some sort of message, but I have no clue where it's coming from and that's the only kind of response I get everytime I sync. I've checked everything. Any idea as to where it's coming from?
Same exact problem here! I hope apple gets this fixed soon! I dont know what else to do, i have tried everything. I have plenty of space and they are showing under "on this phone" but are light grey with circles next to them and never transfer over.
I had exactly the same problem.
I fixed it by doing a complete factory restore (from the summary tab in itunes) and then restored my data and music from the last back up.
After this the tracks that was light grey with the circles next to them came across normally
I am having this same problem, it is so frustrating and only began happening after the most recent iphone update. I hope Apple get back to us with a fix or something soon, i'm not happy at all, we shouldn't have to resort to restoring factory settings every time there is a problem!
Same problem, plenty of space. Started after I updated to 7. Very frustrating.
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!!!
I think I figured it out... It worked for me! Its kind of annoying but you have to turn off passcode lock on your phone. Then delete all your music from phone. Then go to "Music" on "(Your name) iPhone" Then click "Sync music" then check off either "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists... ext."
Hope this helps:P Hopefully they fix this problem soon so we don't have to use loop holes!
this helped me. its a HUGE pain to do it this way, but at least i can add music to my ipod now. thanks.
This did NOT work for me. I hate the new passcode so I shut it off as soon as I found out I could. Most of my music is still on my phone but nothing new will transfer. Same problem as everyone else -- iPhone 5, IOS7 and iTunes 11.2. I don't know where the issue is but get it fixed please. Apps transfer perfectly. Apple, you need to be watching these posts because I'm about ready to chuck my phone in the river!! I have music I need for concert practices and having to drag my laptop everywhere is getting really old!
I have exact same problem. Nothing new will transfer to my iPhone 5. Apple please fix this problem. Thanks.
Thanks, it helps. 🙂
Why won't my songs transfer from itunes to my iphone?
