iTunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone.

How did you do that if your problem only regards non-purchased music?

I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.

I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

I had the same problem but I figured out a way to fix it. For me, the songs were still on my computer but wouldn't sync to my phone. To solve this, I went on my iphone and opened music. Then, go on "more"- "shared"- and lastly make sure under where it says your iphones name, your library is checked. After I did that it worked. Hope this helped!

WOW! I have been trying to resolve this for HOURSSSSSSS. Thanks you x1000!!

unbelievable. You are my hero! I have been frustrated all day and your solution was the magic bullet!

Where's the share (on music) button...? i can't seem to find it, nor can i get my music.. HELP PLEASE..

Thanks

You are my hero! That works like a charm. Thank you!

I found only one issue with this solution- when you turn off home sharing or disconnect your device from your PC, the Library option disappears. Are there any other solutions that you may know of? Please reply ASAP.

While your phone is connected to your computer open you itunes library and click file>home sharing>turn on (it would not let me turn on home sharing from my phone itself)

Then on your phone go into settings>music>at the bottom "home sharing" sign in with your apple ID.

Check to see if the "shared" option showed up under "more" in your music on your phone...bit of a process but worked for me!

THANKYOU SO MUCH!!

I BEEN LIVING WITHOUT MUSIC IN MY PHONE FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS NOW 😟

AND NOW. THEY'RE ALL BACK IN LESS THAN A SECOND 😀

i tried this and it worked at first, but then when i left my house or had no wifi i was back to my original problem with all the greyed out songs 😕

Yup, unfortuntely I'm having the same problem. I can only listen to all of my music when both my computer and iPhone are connected to wi-fi and the 'home sharing' is on. Otherwise I can only listen to my purchased music. It is terribly frustrating and I've spen hours upon hours trying to figure this crap out :-/

I'm just gonna make an appoitment at the Apple store this week and let the 'genuises' there figure it out for me.

crap... so it only work when there's wifi....?

owh god this ain't gonna work for me when school starts.

I won't be home for abt the whole day.. and i can't listen to them on public transport.......

omg this is ****... please share your solution if you ever get one from them ><

It's funny how the sync works with my old iPod touch that I haven't touch for about a year.

I have an iPod touch (the old version) But I sort of abandon it when I got my new iPhone.

I didn't update the software on my ipod for almost a year now and i guess that is the reason why the syncing is still working.

This problem is ridiculous. We don't even know if it is an accident or it's just apple's new technique of business involve trying to make syncing music difficult so people are forced to buy their music legally from itunes.

RIGHT. HERE'S ONE SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME.

I downloaded and installed a management software called "itools".

Just search 'itools download' on google, download then install it.

After you open both 'itunes' and 'itools', connect your device then start import the music you want in the music section.

I did the transfering from there and it worked for me. Quick and simple 😀

Hope this helps. 🙂
