After updating, not all the music in my library syncs to my iPod Touch - entire albums are missing. What to do?"

After an update of iTunes and the iPod, not all the music in the library syncs to the iPod. Entire "albums" are missing. Any suggestions?

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

Back from where?
Where did it go?
It should all be on your computer and included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Sync it back.

Did home sharing but not all the music came over

I have set up iTunes on the new computer but after doing the home sharing, I realized that not all the music came over. But now the home share button is gone.

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.

My computer crashed and all the music in my library is gone. I have the music in my Nano, can I transfer this into my main library?

My computer crashed and all the music in my library is gone. I only have the music in my nano which I'm trying to move into the library so I can burn cd's. Is there a way to do this? I'm going nuts.
Thank you

Yes. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.

I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.

HT201263 after a factory reset, the apps store is no longer on my ipod touch. how do I restore it?

after a factory reset, the apps store is no longer on my ipod touch. how do I restore it?

- Try using the Search function to find it
- Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen Layout
- Is it hidden by Restrictions>Settings>General>Restrictions?
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device again
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I upgraded my iphone to ios 5, now all the music is gone (despite syncing music w/ computer)

I upgraded my husband's iphone to ios 5 on our mutual PC (Windows Vista). Then all the music content was gone. I called Apple. They said I had to change the apple id on my husband's phone to my apple id- since that is where all the itunes is stored (under my apple ID). I did that, synced specifically music, and still says "No Content" when you press the music tab.
On the computer, it shows that the music is taking up space on the iphone (3-4GB are taken up by music), but still no music on the iphone.
Thank you for any help, this has been very frustrating- since we weren't having any problems until I did this ios 5 upgrade.

Well the problem is nothing happens! I plug my iPhone in and I have it set to sync on sign in to iTunes. I made spne updates to my library by copying a number of CDs I had recently bought and unticked a couple of albums etc When I went in I got all the usual back etc and then it went through the rest of the steps albeit v quickly yet the new stuff wasn't on and the old stuff wasn't taken off. I tried again same thing. I unchecked sync on plugging iPhone in and I got a new message saying that I was using a different library and as I have a new computer and had created a new library I thought this was the problem even though I was using my I store sign in I'd & password anyhow I said yes. So it went through the steps this time a bit slower. However what it did do was delete all the music from my iPhone and did not copy the new music from my computer! Oh deary deary me! Hope anyone can help.

HT1320 my ipod nano 4rd gen doesn't syn all the music fron Itunes library?? very frustation

My Ipod Nano 4th Gen. doesn't synch all the music from my Itunes Library??

Make sure all the songs in i-tunes are checked off (small box to the left of each song in the songs list), and click sync, or apply.

HT1751 Not all the music I have in Itunes is in the Itunes library, how do I make sure all is there to transfer to new computer

I am trying to move my Itunes Library to a different computer. When I put the Itunes library onto the external hard drive it only had a portion of the songs. Alot did not copy over. How do I make sure that all the songs in Itunes are in the Itunes Library stored on my computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

When i sync my ipod, i have notice that not all the music syncs and when i click on the ipod tab, some of the music has a round/two arrows?! How can i sort this out?!

When i sync my ipod, i have noticed on the left hand side, under devices, my ipod, when i click on music, some of the songs are grey, and the others are black. The ones which are grey have a round circle with two arrows in. These are the ones which havent copied onto my ipod. I had no problem before until recently and all of a sudden! Can anyone please help me sort this out so that all my music will transfer onto my ipod, i have been trying for over a week!

Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

HT1495 I use method 3 to sync my iPad to my desktop which is used to sync my iPod nano. After I done all the steps,how will I sync the separate library to my iPad? I don't see any sync option and don't even see my iPad on the device.

My iPad is registered in a different account.im having difficulty installing iTunes on my laptop so when I read that multiple iPod,iPad etc can be sync in one computer,I tried making a separate library on my desktop which have an iTunes already.i used my desktop for my iPod nano. After following the instructions, I don't know how to sync it with my iPad now connected on my desktop.i can't see a button or option to sync. And I don't even see my iPad recognize on the device.pls tell me what am I missing. I already sign in so my desktop will be authorize.

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

After updating, not all the music in my library syncs to my iPod Touch - entire albums are missing. What to do?"
