![]() In order for your songs to get onto your phone, they must be included in one or more of the sections in 4 that you have chosen: so that's either by selecting the artist or genre (neither of which are much good for a compilation album or one with different genres), or the album or a Playlist in which all those songs appear. (Don't worry, I am getting to your missing songs). Just forget all about using Sync Entire Music Library for now (although I will return to it in a later post).īy now, you should have chosen to use "selected lists", which then opens up section 4, the various types of list you can use. So - if you cannot fit all of your Library onto your iPhone, the only practical way of managing this is to use Sync selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. That figure will include a few songs I dislike and a few duplicates, but it's a useful guide. In my case, as you can see, it's 163.71 GB - far more than I can fit onto my 128 GB iPod Touch. ![]() If you do not use the column browser, your whole Library should be selected by default:Īt the bottom of the window is the total size of all the music in your Library. If you have the Column Browser displayed (that's 2, 3 & 4 in the screenshot below), you need to have All selected in each column in order to include everything. You can easily confirm this by using the Songs view ( 1.). Your iTunes Library has more music in it than you can get onto your iPhone. Okay, I think I'm getting this now - well, hopefully. * Please note I'm not suggesting that you use Apple Music in order to fix your issue, I'm asking whether you currently use it. Whatever your reason, there is bound to be a better way to achieve it, but first we need to confirm which method you're using. ![]() Is that what you're doing? It would make your own life more complicated if you are. Your answer that you "mostly" use playlists suggests to me that you're switching between these two methods. To find this view, click on the iPod icon that appears at the top of the iTunes window and then switch from the Device/Settings/Summary pane to the Device/Settings/Music pane ( 1.): That method is either to sync Entire Music Library or to choose which specific lists to sync by using Selected playlist, artists, albums and genres as seen in area 3. ![]() When setting up an iPod, one decides which method to use and then let's iTunes do all the work at each Sync. Regarding the last question (number 4), we need to check how you've set up your iPod to sync, and this refers back to my original question in my previous post. which sync method are you using (see below)?.does the music that's failing to get onto your iPod still play in iTunes?.With that in mind, let's establish a couple of things: I was expecting you to say one or the other, not "mostly".īefore I go any further, I can think of several reasons why your music is not getting onto your iPod, but in order to find out which of those is causing the issue, whether it's more than one of those reasons, or whether it's a totally different reason altogether, we need to check certain settings and rule out certain causes. ![]()
