4th Gen iPod: New songs that are added appear in a random order on the iPod

Everything is correct in iTunes. (ripped straight off the CD) Its pretty irritating how it's not the same on the iPod. Anyway know how to fix it?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I-pod wont sync new songs that were added on itunes....

    this has been happening for over a month now where i connect my i-pod to my computer and the computer freezes. I am unable to even click anything on itunes becuase the program is frozen. I then unplug my i-pod from my computer and my computer goes back to normal yet now my i-pod is frozen, i then hold down the play/pause button on my i-pod to restart the i-pod. I then notice that still the songs have not been updated and no matter how many times i do this process over and over again it still doesnt change... how can i fix this so i can put new songs on my i-pod?

    ignore above!
    ive sorted it.
    i coudnt see he 'done' button on the screen i kept getting.
    just had to adjust my screen resolution, so i could see it and its all sorted now.

    my computer crashed so i had to re sinc my music to the i tunes library. now i need to no how to delete music on my i pod classic so i can re sinc my music in the new library, to my ipod classic

    Unless you have iOS 5 or later (which you do not) you have to connect the iPod to your computer and unsync the music.
    Delelete any apps that are on your computer that are also on the iPod, Then transfer them to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • My ipod has songs that are not on my desktop

    I have 4,000+ songs on my iPod.  They were on my desktop.  When I connect my iPod to my desktop, only 200 or so songs show up on my desktop iTunes.  The only option I'm given is to erase the contents on my iPod and sync it with my desktop.  I don't want to do that because I'll lose all of that data.  How can I get the songs on my device to transfer/sync to my desktop?

    To copy your iPod songs from iPod back yo PC you need 3rd party software.

  • I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.

    I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?

  • How can I manage the sequence of photos viewed on the Apple TV via i Tunes Home Share?  The photos in my directory are sequenced, they display in random order in the slide show.

    I am accessing a directory of photos on my network, using Home Share within iTunes.  The photos are displayed in random sequence, which is not helpful for an organized slide show.   Any ideas on sequencing the photos?

    Actually it appears that the sequence is likely by date/time.   Filename is DEFINITELY NOT the sequence.  I am trying to create a slideshow in iPhoto, fool the date problem by changing all dates to today, and sequencing by filename.  A very cumbersome process to an illogical problem, does not make sense to me at all.
    Thanks for trying to help.

  • My iTunes account no longer has everything on my iPod-5th gen. I want to put everything on my iPod on my iTunes on my new laptop without losing new purchases that are on the iTunes account or the old data on the iPod.

  • My library only shows barely half of the songs that are on my ipod. i had to do a recovery on my computer and reinstall itunes. 90% of the songs on my ipod were purchased through itunes. Now i cant load new songs without erasing all the ones on my ipod.

    I downloaded new songs and now it wont let me put them on my ipod unless i erase all of the songs and just put the ones in my library. I think there are something like 140 or less songs in the library and there are almost 300 on my ipod. What gives?

    Hook up your iPod, there should be a selection somewhere that allows you to sync the iTunes purchased content ONLY back into your iTunes from the iPod.
    Non-iTunes purchased content needs a third party utility, look at iLounge or elsewhere for it.
    As always maintan a backup of your content on external medium, cd/dvd/external drive as Apple will not redownload content.
    You bought it, your responsible for it's preservation.

  • Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC?  My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

    Yes.
    You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

  • Is there a way to drag a new playlist onto my ipod without creating doubles of all of the songs that are already on my ipod?

    i just want to put the playlist on my ipod but it re adds all the songs that are already on my ipod. do i just have to recreate the playlists on my ipod?

    Playlists are just files with pointers.  If you have a song on multiple playlists that doesn't mean the song is copied twice.  Any instance of a song in playlists just points to the single file it syncs over. 
    If you have not synced in a while however and the song is already on the phone there is a chance it has been a while and with changes made with each iTunes update or iPhone iOS update, they may have changed the logic of the playlists files or how it manages and organizes the file structure, thus it may be needed to update (resync) some of your files.  That is just an educated guess.
    What I mentioned first still applies, songs are only copied once even if on multiple playlists.  Regular syncing helps keep things fresh and up to date and yes at times there are changes to the process that may cause extra sync time to redo some things an updated way.

  • HT1386 how can i get all my songs that are on my ipod onto my iTunes without losing the ones that weren't purchased on iTunes?

    I got a new laptop and I wanted to put my songs that are on my ipod onto my iTunes without losing the songs that weren't purchased. I have no way of getting onto my old laptop to get the songs if I lose them so I was wondering if there was any other way.

  • IPod nano (4th gen) plays any song for 40 seconds, then stops

    Strange behaviour from my 4th gen iPod nano:
    1. When plugged into Logitech iPod dock, plays any song selected for 40 seconds, then stops. Hit play, it plays for another 40 seconds, then stops again. (Logitech iPod dock works fine with my wife's iPod nano.)
    2. When plugged into the Pioneer car stereo, the car stereo reports that the iPod is in SET UP mode, which it never comes out of. (As above, car stereo has no problem with my wife's iPod.)
    3. iPod nano is detected normally by iTunes and works normally when plugged into desktop computer.
    4. iPod (and iTunes) software is up to date.
    5. Resetting the iPod (Menu + Centre button hold) has no effect on either (1) or (2) above.
    6. Help?

    Update: Restore to factory settings does not solve this problem. I'm really stumped.

    Bare in mind that Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the same music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

    What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
    Thank you

    Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
    Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
    Buy a larger capacity iPod
    Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
    What happens when you try
    What else is on your iPod.
    Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
    In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.
