Hi Ronni, Sorry this took so long. It turned out that once I unchecked “only sync checked files” in the iPhone screen in iTunes on the Mac everything was fine. I had not realised that in iTunes on the Mac some files were checked and others not checked. To sync music I check the individual artists I want in the iPhone info screen in iTunes on the Mac, so only the selected files will sync. So that works fine now.
Now I have an issue with Music on my wife’s iPhone 5. To begin with her file selections were the same as for my iPhone 6s. However yesterday she decided she wanted to add some artists and delete some artists. So we plugged her iPhone into the Mac and made the selection changes. When her phone was then synced with the Mac, the additional artists were added to her Music. But the artists we deleted remained in Music on her phone. I had to go through them on her phone deleting each individual one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated please so I can stop a repeat of this ? > On 18 May 2016, at 3:44 PM, Ronni Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> On 18 May 2016, at 1:26 PM, Stephen Chape <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Sorry folks, >> I forgot to mention that I sync my iPhone with my iMac via USB (for music >> and videos). >> Also I have since discovered that I had not “checked” some of those files in >> iTunes. >> I had previously chosen to only sync “checked” files. >> >> However some files still do not sync, even though I have chosen to sync >> those artists. >> >>> Begin forwarded message: >>> >>> From: Stephen Chape <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> >>> Subject: Music on iPhone >>> Date: 17 May 2016 at 6:07:29 PM AWST >>> To: WAMUG Mailing List <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> >>> >>> Hi folks, >>> >>> I have been wondering why some of my music does not appear on my iPhone >>> when I sync with my iMac ? >>> Just realised that only Purchased AAC Audio Files will sync. >>> >>> Files such as AAC Audio and MPEG Audio do NOT sync. >>> Some of these (I don’t know which) I have imported to iTunes from my CD’s. >>> >>> Does this mean that music I have purchased on CD’s and then imported to >>> iTunes I can never play on my iPhone ? > > Hi Stephen, > > What format & compression are the music tracks that you are unable to sync? > Are they AAC or MP3 or ? > Do you have enough space on your iPhone to hold all the music you have > selected to sync? > > If you ripped your CDs as WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless files, which take up a > lot of space, you may want to change to AAC or MP3 files. > > Double check if the songs on your iTunes library have same folder location as > before. > Sometimes iTunes does not indicate which songs it cannot find until you > select them. > Songs in your library that iTunes can't locate, won't be synced to your > iPhone. > > Cheers, > Ronni > > 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) > 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz > 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM > 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage > > El Capitan OS X 10.11.4 >>> >>> Regards, >>> Stephen Chape >>> > > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Settings & Unsubscribe - > <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug> Regards, Stephen Chape
