Number of Songs on iPod does not match iTunes

I am showing 2110 songs in iTunes, but only 2093 on my iPod. What would cause this? All songs are checked to sync & the sync settings are set to all songs and playlists. Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem and asked a similar question earlier today. totally toastin replied:

  • Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for movies, TV Shows Nd some songs

    Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for Movies, TV Shows and some songs & Albums. Is this issue resolved? If so what was or is the fix. I have not been successful in locating that.  I found posts stretching back into late 2010.

    most of these items were downloaded from eihter iTunes or in the case of movies, imported into the app and then loading them to TV Series or Movies as appropriate. They were all fine until about two days ago when I did a sync. Then the artwork went haywire. I tried manualy removing and replacing the artwork in iTunes with the correct jpg's. and then re-sync. iTunes shows everything OK, but the iPad is the one with it all messed up.

  • Artwork does not match iTunes artwork

    After two months of no issues, I have found at least 50 songs on my iPod where the artwork does not match iTunes. What's more, the incorrect artwork is the same on all the songs affected. I have reset, deleted that offending artwork, and tried manually inputting the correct artwork, but the incorrect artwork remains. Any suggestions?

    Try this (message copied from a previous thread):
    unfortunately this is a annoying bug in itunes, and the only way to override this is to do this:
    make sure you have all the songs you want to upload to the ipod in you library then delete all the songs from the ipod, turn on manual update click enable artwork to turn it off, click ok and let itunes delete the artwork on your ipod.
    after it has done this go back to ipod options and enable auto update and enable artwork, and press ok, just let itunes update all your songs again, when it has finished eject ipod and check songs, all the songs you put artwork for should have it now, and the bad thing about this is you will have to do this every time you update the ipod, i am angry about this myself and wish itunes would sort this annoying bug out.

  • # of songs actually on iphone does not match itunes count

    I have synced and re-synced my new iphone.  When connected to itunes, itunes claims there are 3829 songs on the phone.  I look at the phone and there are only 529.  What gives.   And how in all that is holy do I resolve this?

    You just have to go thru the steps and do the math. How many videos does it report on the ipod, and how many videos do you have listed in iTUnes?
    goto edit>preferences>ipod tab and go thru each sub tab to see how you have the ipod set to update Music,video,podcast
    THeres a trick you can do in creating a "Unchecked" smart playlist for unchecked songs in iTUnes.
    creat one smart playlist and match the following rule
    Artist does not contain 123456
    UNCHECK limit to
    Check BOTH Live updating and Match only checked songs and name this smart playlist "Checked"
    Create another smart playlist and match the following rule
    Playlist is not checked
    UNCHECK match only checked songs and limit to
    CHECK Live updating

  • Using Genius with Songs on iPod but not in iTunes

    Of all the music on my iPod, only about a third of it is also on my computer in iTunes. As far as I can tell, Genius only works with the music that is in iTunes. If I try to make a playlist with any song that is not in iTunes, then it can't do it.
    Does anyone know if there is anyway to update Genius directly on the iPod, rather than just with iTunes?

    can u get genius on an updated ipod or just the second generation?

    I have a 4th gen 20gb ipod. I have some podcasts on my ipod, but not on my itunes. I'm running out of memory and i don't want them!! I can't see how to delete them off if they aren't on itunes.

  • Ipod Mini not matching Itunes library

    For some reason my Itunes library is not matching my ipod mini. More songs are on the mini. Is there a way to synch my library with my mini so I don't lose the songs from the mini?

    If you have songs that are on your mini but not in the main library of iTunes you will have to use some third party software to copy those songs off the iPod and put them on your PC and in iTunes. go here

  • Deleting songs on iPod but not on iTunes

    thanks in advance to any reply!!!!
    originally, i have an iPod Photo 40gb. a few days ago, i bought an iPod Video 60gb. i use one computer, with one user.
    i actually have two problems. i hope nothing gets too confusing!!
    PROBLEM #1: in the days of my iPod Photo, i had a somewhat frustrating situation. i accidently (long story) deleted all my music files. this left me with songs on iTunes, and on my iPod but not on the computer. i was worried that my iPod would wipe out when i plugged it in, but i found the solution thanks to helpful apple.com! i didnt have to get my original music files back because the songs stayed on my iPod. though there was always an exclamation mark next to the song on iTunes. this meant i couldnt play the song on iTunes because there was no backup file, but i could listen to it on my iPod.
    i plugged my new iPod into the same computer onto the same iTunes program. it's uploaded all the songs except the ones with exclamation marks. is there anyway i can get these songs (a total of 192) onto the iPod Video??
    PROBLEM #2: i'd like to delete all the songs on the old iPod. Except i dont know how to do this without deleting all the songs on iTunes. i can't delete the songs on iTunes because i still need them for my new iPod. Is there anyway i can delete the songs on the iPod but keep them on iTunes for the new iPod? One last thing, if i manage to find the solution to emptying the old iPod, is it possible to upload it with new songs?? songs that i dont want on my new iPod. or am i asking for too much?
    THANKS!!!

    You have a couple of options:
    1) Change the update option of your old iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists". Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod, you can amend the option there. In manual mode you can delete the songs off the iPod and keep them in iTunes. You can also drag from iTunes the tracks and playlists that you do want: Managing Your Songs Manually
    2) You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your old iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Iphone available space does not match itunes available space

    On my iphone it shows I have 5.8 GB, but when I connect to itunes and sync, itunes shows 6.8 GB. Why would I have a delta?

    If you have deleted files from your Mac in the past.....these files will usually stay on the Time Capsule for some period of time.  Could be months or many months.
    But, at some unknown point in time....Time Machine will delete those files from the backups to clear space. When it does that, you would think that the sparsebundle would then show more available space on the drive....but it does not do that.
    Sparsebundle files are curious items......they "grow" as files are added, but they do not appear to shrink when files are deleted.
    For example....The sparsebundle file might have grown to 100 GB.  But Time Machine deleted 5 GB. The sparsebundle file will continue to show as 100 GB until the space that was gained when the files were deleted fills back up to 100 GB. At that point, the sparsebundle file will start to "grow" again.
    This is very likely what is happening on your Time Capsule at this time. 
    If you have been checking your backups by going into Time Machine and everything appears to be normal, then I would not be concerned.
    It is possible to "shrink" the sparsebundle file and have it display the actual space that is being used.  But, you have to use Terminal commands to do this.
    We can give you the commands to "compact" the sparsebundle if you want them....but unless you are an experienced Mac programmer, I would stay away. The Terminal is a very scary place.

  • Artwork on iPod does not match artwork in iTunes

    Hello all,
    Lately I have noticed that the artwork for the songs on my iPod are way off from what the artwork is for the same song in iTunes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I have done a reset of the iPod to factory settings and then resynched the iPod but it still is showing the same problem after I added some songs to iTunes and did another synchronization.
    Any ideas?
    Ed

    I had this problem for a while then I realised that it was because I was syncing music from 2 PC's. When I synced from my home PC all the artwork would be ok but then when I added another album from my work PC all the covers got scrambled. I believe its because I needed certain folders from my home PC on the other one. Dont know if this will help but thats what happened to me.

  • Songs in Ipod but not in itunes library. no option to back up so i can restore. Will someone please help me?

    Ok, see, i was dowloading some songs off of http://www.youtube-mp3.org. I dragged the songs into my itunes library, but when i looked, they weren't in there. so i looked at my ipod and the songs i downloaded were on it! i dont know how either! i tried to back up my downloaded songs so i could restore it to see if that would help, but there wasn't an option for me to back up my ipod when i right clicked on it. i looked atsome of the other forums about the "AppData" solution. it said to delete the corrupted file if there was one, but i dont know what to look for. can someone please help me? this is driving me crazy.

  • Apple ID/password does not match ITunes Apple ID/password

    I just received an Apple Touch IPOD and can purchase downloads from my computer using my Apple ID/Password that I created; BUT am not able to download anything from the actual touch IPOD (keep getting message stating my ITunes password was incorrect)Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    Hi all,
    I know this is an old post, but having had the exact same issue and failing to find anything of value out there, I figured I would share what I did to fix this.
    On your iPhone, go to "Settings" and scroll down to the "Stores" app. Select it. Once in, the Apple ID that is shown to you will be the one that shows when you try to download new apps or update old ones. Assuming you are here because you changed your iTunes ID and the change is not reflected on your iPhone, you simply need to then "Sign Out", and sign back in again using your new ID.
    Back in the AppStore in your iPhone, the new ID should now show, and all you need to do is validate your password to get going.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Touch serial number does not match invoice (rebate problem)

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased and received a MacBook Pro and iPod Touch online, taking advantage of the rebate program. I was just filling out the rebate form when I noticed that the serial number on my iPod's UPC sticker does not exactly match the serial number on the invoice. By that I mean there are three letters in the serial number that does not match. I checked with Apple's service support coverage online and found that the serial number which is on the invoice is recognized and the one on the UPC sticker is not. I was just about to send in my rebate coupon, and I am wondering if this would affect my rebate claim?
    I'll most likely call Apple tomorrow, but just wanted to see if anyone here has any idea.

    HI thanks for replying and the information and contact number. I really appreciate it!
    Sorry, I forgot to include those details. The MacBook was purchased online directly through the Apple Store on 12/20/07. The AppleCare was purchased directly from the Apple Store online on 12/19/08. I usually buy it direct from Apple because of horror stories I had heard about resellers when I bought my first Mac (G4 MDD). I had purchased the G4 MDD years ago and had an issue with it during the first year and called Apple and they informed me that I could buy AppleCare during the first year warranty. The individual I spoke with indicated I did not have to activate it before the first year anniversary, but that I just had to purchase it before the 1 year warranty expired. Before purchasing my wife's Applecare I checked to ensure that was still the case. From the information on the Apple site, it is my understanding that it is still the case. I know I cut it close, but I thought I had bought it later than the 20th. One night I pulled out the invoice and found it was ordered on the 20th so I ordered it that night (19th)!!
