Manage songs on iPod photo

I purchased a song from itunes which turned out to be corrupted. By the time I realised this I had already synced it to my ipod. I managed to download it again to my ipad and by deleting it from itunes and syncing with the ipad I managed to get the uncorrupted version back into itunes on my mac. Unfortunately when I sync again with the ipod photo itunes doesn't update the corrupted song on the ipod. I would like to manually delete the song from my ipod (and then resync from the mac) but with this version of itunes I don't seem to have access to individual songs or in fact to any content on the ipod, even though in the Summary the "manually manage songs" box is ticked. Any suggestions?

thank you very much for the suggestion. I had forgotten about this option. However after I located the file there was no way of deleting the song from the ipod. Instead I have found a work around, in case anyone else has the same problem: in itunes under ipod when it is connected check the option synchronise checked songs only. then uncheck the song you want to delete, sync the ipod. then go back and recheck the affected song and sync again. It worked for me: the corrupted song has been replaced by the healthy one from itunes.

  • Managing songs on IPod touch

    Hello - I have an 8GB Ipod touch and it is full. I need to delete songs from it. I have checked the songs in my ITunes library that I want to sync, but until I can delete songs off the Ipod it will remain full. On a similar note, I'd like the sync to always include checked songs and delete unchecked songs. Is that possible? Thanks.

    Yes. Check the box that say, sync only checked music.

  • My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view?

    My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view these files? They are now show as ITHMB files!

    Those photos taken or bumped photos should bi in the iPod's Camera Roll album
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Note however, that the the backup that had the photos may have been overwritten by a subsequent backup that did hot have the photos on the iPod.See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Have you looked on the computer? Maybe they were imported to the computer and then deleted from the iPod. Since the photos were not synced to the iPod they are not in the iPod Photo Cache folder .

  • IPod Nano appears on my list of iTunes devices. Summary tab shows 928 manually managed songs; music tab however shows nothing. Where did the songs go?

    I recently undated software all around, reloaded windows 8 and upgraded to windows 8.1.  My iPod Nano (1.0.4) appears on my list of iTunes (11.1.3) devices. The summary tab for my iPod shows 928 manually managed songs (2 of 8 GBs still empty).  However, when I click on the music tab immediately to the right of the summary tab, iTunes no longer shows my songs, playlists or audio books.  Instead iTunes invites me to "sync" my iPod and kiss my contents goodbye. Why won't the songs appear in iTunes anymore?  My iPod still plays the songs and they appear on the tiny iPod screen.   iTunes however won't show them. iTunes still allows me to drag and drop new music and books into my iPod but iTunes won't let me see the particulars.  I want to delete some audio books I've finished but iTunes won't let me to them.  What gives?

    Thanks iPodmaven for showing me how to check the arrow to the right of the device image and convert it into a inverted triangle.  Problem solved!  Thanks

  • IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

    I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
    I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
    Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • 60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

    I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync what you  want

  • Updating and iPod that has preferences set for "manually manage songs..."

    I have my iPod set with "manually manage songs and playlists" so that
    (a) it won't try to update every time I connect it; and
    (b) so that I can see all of the songs from my iTunes application, as I don't store my music library on my laptop computer.
    But sometimes I do want to do a full sync of the iPod to my music library. I'm not sure how to do that. If I select "update ipod", it says "iPod update complete", but doesn't really do anything.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Hi, Michael, and thanks for your help.
    I realize I can change the options to "automatically update..."
    But the whole point of my inquiry was to find out whether there's a way to NOT have that preference set, as I
    (a) don't want the iPod updating every time I plug it in; and
    (b) want to be able to see its songs on other computers when I'm not seeking to update it.
    What I want is a command that I can initiate that will say "act as though the automatically-update preferences were on and do a full update just this once".
    I suppose I can go in and turn the preference on, do the update, then turn the update off, but it seems like lots of steps. I might have thought that there would be a control+click command that would accomplish this all in one click.

  • Ipod photo skipping songs

    have been having a problem with my 30GB ipod photo for a couple of weeks.
    basically, when i turn it on, and play a track, more often than not it will show that it is playing the track, and after about 5 seconds it will skip to the next track, without actually playing anything. it carries on doing this to the end of the album and then goes back to the main menu.
    weirdly, i have found that a gentle tap has on occasion fixed this.
    any ideas anyone? or am i screwed?

    Any chance you're using Apple Lossless? People here have reported this problem when using this format. If this isn't it you may try doing a Restore (you'll have to reload all your music).

    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

  • New Hard Drive- How to upload from iPod Photo without access to old drive

    Needed to purchase/install a new hard drive after Windows corruption on my old pc. My iPod Photo is completely backed up with my entire library/playlists, etc. Old music files were copied to my new hard drive but the iTunes application needs to be reloaded. I am hoping there is a way to sync my iPod with the new version of iTunes on my new hard drive and have the iPod used as a backup drive. Everything I read about this suggests I need access to my old hard drive to change settings on the iPod before I will be able to upload to the new software from the iPod. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible so that I can retain all of my playlists, etc the way they are? Thanks so much.

  • IPod Photo 60GB + iTunes 7.0.2 = Misery

    Well, what a miserable day here. I have three iPods, a nano, a 4th Gen 60 GB Photo, and a 1st Gen Shuffle. None of them will synch properly with the Intel iMac. I have the symptoms reported by others - inside iTunes, the iPods cannot be updated or restored, when synched, iTunes complains that some songs are too old and cannot be copied. (Any song purchased from ITMS). Incorrect version numbers are reported by the iTunes iPod summary panel.
    By using my iBook, and I can confirm that each of the iPods are fine, the cables are fine, and are able to operate properly. Whatever the problem, its clearly inside the software on the iMac - something likely deep in the bowels of iTunes.
    Since my iBook has a 20 GB drive, and I've got about 60 GB of music, just using the iBook until this gets sorted out isn't a reasonable option. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, zapping the kext extension, reinstalling the Combo updater, and various other resets, restores, check disks, and so on, without success.
    My question is, where do I go from here? There appears to be no public recognition of the problem, nor a properly sanctioned way to revert to iTunes 6. Has anyone else managed for force restore and synch on a Mac where the original symptoms were as described above?
    I would appreciate gratefully any suggestions on what to do next.
    Thanks!

    Solution: Archive and Install
    Last night I posted a note describing the problems I encountered as a result of iTunes 7.0.2 essentially wiping out my iPods, then failing to restore them properly. I recovered the iPods using a second computer, but while the iMac could see them, it refused to move any of the protected AAC files onto the iPod.
    The solution was that troubleshooting good for what ails you cure, Archive and Install with preserve users on.
    First, I disconnected all the iPods.
    Then I used the original install DVD to perform archive and install. I turned off a bunch of stuff I didn't need, focusing on the core OS files.
    On reboot, I ran the 10.4.8 Combo update which I had downloaded earlier.
    On the next reboot, Software Update installed Java, QuickTime, and X11 updates.
    On the next reboot, I launched iTunes. Everything appeared to work normally. The authorizations were intact.
    I installed the Shuffle, which was recognized at once. I used Erase and Sync to pair it with the iMac. I repeated the same process with the iPod Photo.
    My guess about the original problem is that iTunes 7 exposed a longstanding problem which was caused when I used Migration Assistant to move the contents of my previous G5 iMac to Intel.
    Alls well that ends well. I'm posting this note in the hope that it will help someone else in the same situation.

  • My hard drive crashed - can I transfer songs from iPod back into iTunes?

    My computer's hardrive crashed and I had to replace the entire hardrive. (Grrrrrr!) I lost the folder that contained all of my music. I re-downloaded iTunes onto my computer with the new hard drive but now my library is empty. All my songs are still in my iPod...
    Is it possible to do a "reverse" transfer. In other words, put the songs from my iPod back into my iTunes. If so - HOW?
    I'm afraid to hook up my iPod to my computer because I don't want the automatic upgrade to start and then my iPod will be empty too.

    As iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. When you connect you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Ipod photo connecting to windows and mac

    awhile ago my sister got an 40GB ipod photo and we formatted it to windows. she left and stayed with somebody else for awhile that had a mac and was able to connect the ipod to it without reformatting it. this guy said that if she connected it to a windows pc that it would delete everything on her ipod. i want to get all of the songs off of it but i don't want to delete them all by accident. the ipod says it's still formatted to windows but i don't know how it worked with a mac. does anybody have any idea what's going on?

    Just make sure you dont swop between both without making sure it set to manual update and not likned to the new computers itunes library. Otherwise it will wipe off all the old songs . There is plenty of third party software that will allow you to manage songs OFF the ipod.
