ITunes recognizes all Iron Maiden songs but IPod only 3

Hi there!
I have this issue with many artist in my IPod, i.e. Iron Maiden.
ITunes sees all the songs of every artist. They all have the same name (no extra spaces, etc). But IPod only finds couple of them when playing.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance.
Rock!

Suddenly it acts as if nothing is stored upon it, but when I plug it in my computer and use iTunes, here I am not alone able to see all my files I can also play them back from here!
hmmmm. with those symptoms, it might be worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting information on that possibility, see the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Why does iTunes no longer sync all of my songs? It only syncs 125/600, despite plenty of room on my iPod Touch

    Why does iTunes no longer sync all of my songs? It only syncs 125/600, despite plenty of room on my iPod Touch.

    Yes I've done a reset but it made no difference.

  • My itunes allows me to download songs but is having difficulty identifying my new Ipod nano. It is not working efficiently enough to power my netflicks through apple tv. Can you help?

    My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • Itunes plays songs, but ipod doesn't

    I am having a huge problem with my ipod! This is since I uploaded my songs to my computer and back to my ipod using eph pod. All of my songs seem to be on the ipod in formats that are okay, ie mp3 or m4p, but most of them are skipped by the ipod when I try to play them. All except for the mp3 files. I can't sync or anything like that, because i don't keep my music library on my computer, I backed it up to CDs. But when I plug my ipod into my computer, itunes plays ALL of the songs just fine. What should I do!!!!!
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    I'm just going to give you a quick how to... so here it goes.
    1. Back up all your songs into a folder on your computer.
    2. Install iTunes 7 www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and all relevant updates.
    3. Once that is done, use the backup/format install tool inside iTunes 7, comes up when you connect the iPod.
    4. Then add items to your library again, and transfer them to the iPod.
    Basically reformatting the iPod shoudl work. Make sure the the songs definatly play in iTunes and dont skip. You could find that the iPod has disk errors.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time.  How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

    I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
    This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
    1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
         Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
    2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
    3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
    4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
    5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
    6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
    Hope this helps!

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • HT1351 I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??

    I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??   I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic??  How do you change the video format?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • I have just set up Itunes match on my new iMac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live. Am I missing something?

    Hi
    I have just set up itunes match on my new imac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live - I can't access albums or songs. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I do not understand your problem. iTunes Match does not change the way iTunes looks. When match process is complete, the match screen tells you how much music you have in the cloud.
    Across the top of screen you have options to select songs, albums, artist, composers etc.
    Suggest that from main menu, select view>show sidebar.

  • While deleting an album, I hit select all, instead of deleting just that album the entire genre was deleted. I was able to get back all the purchased songs , but none of the cds that were in my collection. Any way to get those songs back?

    Assume you were in itunes?  Also assuming windows?  Two paths I can think of.....
    1) Normally anything deleted from itunes goes to recycle bin.  If you did not pick remove from computer probably still in itunes music directory.  Just add back.  Note to speed things up you can use add directory.
    2) Use restore previous version of music directory.  To be safe I'd back up current directory, do a restore, then swap back original directory and use restored directory off line.
    I do not know of nice solution, I like to hack my way through.

  • I have over 600 songs, but will only sync 200 to ipod please help

    I have over 600 songs, but will only sync 200 to ipod please help

    Hey jt14,
    Thanks for the question. I found an article that goes over several reasons why your songs in iTunes might not be copying to your iPod:
    Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1420
    If none of those solutions apply, I would run through the recommended syncing steps outlined in the following article, and check and see if you're following the manual or automatic syncing process:

  • How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

    How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

    As in purchased it 4 minutes ago, or 4 years ago?  The new versions of iTunes are always very reliable at having songs show up in the main library display window when an item is added.  Does your song appear in Recently Added?  Have you checked your media folders to see if the song is actually on your computer but it is just iTunes that is having conniptions?
    You can browse the forums here for suggestions by others.  There isn't one single simple resolution:

  • I have downloaded a song but it only plays the first 15 seconds... help?

    I have downloaded a song but it only plays the first 15 seconds. My internet connection was fine so the download completed. I followed advice and checked 'Get Info' on the song- the start and finish times are correct. What is the problem? Where can I get a refund?
    Thanks

    Update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 and see if it rectifies the issue.

  • Re GIFTING.  I tried to buy a song but it only let me gift it so I gifted it to myself.  I cannot figure out how to redeem it so I can actually add it to my library and hear the song.

    I just tried to buy a song but it only let me gift it so I gifted it to myself.  It was sent to my email.  How to I redeem it so I can hear it and add it to my library?  What happened to just buying a song?
    MJ2633

    You purchase a track by clicking on the price. If you saw a "gift this song" option, you probably clicked on the arrow next to the price.
    As to redeeming, did the gift email not contain instructions?
