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

I have something to share. I went through the music synch process numerous times and never saw the music on my iPhone. (See my posts above.)

On my iPhone, I went to Settings>Music>Show All Music, and turned it on. My new music is now available on my iPhone, but it shows up as being in the Cloud.

It did not ever show as "transferring" to my iPhone, although Siri was trying to find it for me.

I'm not sure what this means to me - that it's in the Cloud and on my phone - but at least I can listen to Bob Seger on my iPhone now!

Ah, I went to my music on IPhone 4s, more, shared then had to highlight my library and everything appeared!

Hello, I am writing from France.

I have exactly the same problem: impossible to send my music from my macbookpro to my iphone5. Everything was working before mavericks/itunes 11.1.3 installations. Now on itunes in "on my iphone" tab, songs appear in grey with grey dotted circles on the left.

It's very frustrating and I don't want to try by erasing my music on the iphone before restoring it. Apple must fix that quicly.

Thanks

J'ai exactement le même problème: impossible de synchroniser ma musqiue depuis mon macbookpro vers mon iphone 5. Tout fonctionnait bien avant l'installation de mavericks et de itunes 11.1.3. Maintenant, sur itunes dans l'onglet "sur cet iphone", les chansons apparaissent en gris avec un cercle gris pointillé sur la gauche.

C'est très frustant et je ne veux pas avoir à essayer de supprimer la musique sur l'iphone avant de le restaurer. Apple doit trouver une solution rapidement.

Merci

Has anyone seen this problem: I was able to get my songs to my iphone 5 but on about 25% of the songs, only a portion of the song transferred. I have many songs that show the correct play time but a portion of the song is blank air time...

There doesn't seem to be any pattern. Some songs from a certain artist are fine others have blank time. And the blank time varries from song to song. sometimes as much as 1/2 the song, sometimes as little as 10 seconds.

Any ideas? I'm growing very frustrated with the latest Apple updates.

Same thing happened to me. tedious but sure fix: restore iphone to original settings. ERASE ALL DATA in phone.

yes... i did and when doing the back up you simply sync as usual and it will copy all sogs this time.

I was able to finally find the answer!

If you go to your iPhone/iPad/iPod go to the ACTUAL Music App (not settings).

On the bottom of the app select the "More" button.

Select the "Shared" option (picture of a house with a music note in ti).

Check off the name of the playlist of your iTunes Library and not that of your device. In my case, I had my iPhone checked instead of the name of my iTunes Library. When I selected the iTunes Library, I got all of my songs and got rid of the grey circles!

Hope this helps! Now someone translate in French to help our buddy (finalnichols) from France thats having this issue...

hey funniehuh!

The French buddy is coming back!

Thanks for the tips but i can't find anywhere the "shared" option in the music app of the iphone. Can you send a pic? Is there something to do on the settings app of the iphone or in itunes on the mac?

Thanks

Hey funniehuh!

The "shared" option appeared on the music app of the iphone, then i selected the itunes library and all my songs came back!

Unfortunately it only works when my mac and itunes are on...

Thanks!

funniehuh -

I don't have a "shared" option in the music app. How did finalnicolas find it?

darcyw77: on your iDevice goto your Settings App-> Music

2 questions: is "Show All Music" turned on or off? and Under "Home Sharing" does it show login request or does it have your Apple ID?

I haven't tried this in person because I'm way from my main iTunes Library Computer, but I would assume that by turning off "Home Sharing" then Syncing your iDevice would encourage the device to physically pull the songs/videos that were purchased or downloaded from the computer to your iDevice vs wanting to "Airplay" it when your at home around your main Library.

This could also help finalnichols too. Please check your the "Home Sharing" settings and let me know if this helps!

I won't be able to try myself for 8 hours (after work).

funniehuh,

Show All Music is turned on and Home Sharing shows my Apple ID.

I removed my Apple ID and turned off Show all Music and resynced my iPhone. I still have a lot of missing music.

funniehuh,

I have the same problem as darcyw77. Can't find the "share" button, and it's kind of frustrating...

How can I find it? Or maybe, activate it?

Bonjour,

Je suis du Québec et de tenter de comprendre les conseils en anglais sont un petit défi pour moi... Comment avez-vous réussi à trouver le bouton share? Car je ne le trouve pas non plus...

Merci d'avance!

Bonjour!

L'option "partagé" apparait dans le menu "autre" qui est accessible en bas à droite de l'application musique sur l'iphone.

Mais cette option "partagé" n'apparait que quand tu es connecté en wifi sur le même réseau wifi que ton mac/pc et que itunes est ouvert sur ton mac/pc. Donc cela ne résoud pas notre problème de synchronisation.

J'espère que quelqu'un trouvera une solution ou que Apple se réveillera pour corriger ces bugs sur ios7/itunes11.

I tried everything and nothing worked except for one! Go to your itunes on your computer and you'll see a bunch of options on top that says File Edit View etc. Go to File and go to Home Sharing and turn on your home sharing. Once you turn that on, go to your phone and go to your music app. Go to More and click on Shared and click on *your name's Library.

And it'll transfer your songs on your computer into your phone/ipod/ipad!
