Album Shuffle on iPod Touch

I have been a dedicated user of the iPod Classic. One of my favourite features is the album shuffle. I just load up the iPod and let it go.
I recently upgraded my sound dock which has bluetooth. So, I traded in my iPod Classic for an iPod Touch, a lot less memory but with bluetooth. I have been trying to get it to do the album shuffle but it appears that this feature is no longer available. Any suggestions?

See chapter 8 of the following for shuffle function of the iPd touch

How do I delete an album from my iPod touch 5

I have an album on my iPod touch 5 that I can not get rid of, it does not appear in my library and was a free bee down loaded last Christmas. It's Michael bubble , a holiday gift for you. Does anyone know how I can delete it, I have also taken all music off the ipod only to be left with this one album .

Without knowing the details of how the album got on the iPod:
If the album was synced to the iPod you either have to:
- unsync via iTunes
- or use a thricp[ary computer program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.
Are you saying there is no delete/trashcan option when you view them?

How do I delete albums from my Ipod touch

hi really dim question I expect but my husband loaded loads of albums on my ipod touch that I really don't want - how can I delete single albums to free up memory for the ones I do want.

You can either delete them from your iTunes library and the next time you sync, the content will be deleted from your iPod. Or you can choose to manually manage your music (the option to do that is on the iPod preference when you plug your iPod in the computer). If you do manually manage, you can click on the triangle next to the iPod icon in iTunes, after you plug it in. Go to the library of your iPod and find the songs and delete them. This option is god if you don't want to delete the songs from your iTunes and only from the iPod.

Syncing Ipod Shuffle and Ipod Touch.

I have both Ipod Shuffle and Ipod Touch. I only want certain songs on the Shuffle. How do I "weed out" the rest of the songs?

One at a time ... in other words NOT simultaneously.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Nothing is copied
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Yes
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes - just once when I first got it
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Yes computer os has been updated, I think
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
Hope this helps - it's a real pain.

I bought a song and an album on my iPod touch last night..

So last night I bought a song and an album on my iPod touch and when I synced it to my computer none of the songs transferred to my PC and now the songs are gone from my iPod touch. The only thing left is the audiobooklet. So how can I get the songs back?? And the songs aren't showing up as purchased on my iPod touch.
If this makes any sense PLEASE help me (:

Look in your purchase history to see if it shows as purchased. If not, then just purchase again.
If it does show as purchased then try:
In itunes click Store>Check for Available Downloads and see if it shows up.
If not, try attaching the ipod and, in itunes, click File>Transfer Purchases.
If these do not work, the go to purchase history and click "Report a Problem".

HT1386 I have one album on my IPod Touch that does not show up on ITunes.

I am trying to download my music to the libraries on my computer. I noticed that one of my albums is not showing on ITunes but is showing up on my IPod.

No problem. Glad to have helped.
Not sure as to why it happened. I just know this has been happening to a few users lately. It may be with how you have your iPod touch configured to sync Podcasts. So you may want to double check these settings as well as mess around with them a bit to figure out if that is the cause. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure on this one. Sorry I cannot be of much help here.

Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

Hi there,
I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
Any ideas?

That happens sometimes
Try:
- 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 all music and resync
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Album Art on iPod touch gone

On my W7 PC I moved my Music foder to a different drive. From C to D using a W7 tool to do the move. Everything is perfect in my iTunes, the music plays and all the info and Album Art covers are OK.
However, on my iPod touch, although the music is all there and plays correctly, the Cover Flow just shows the Note icon. No album art. I tried all kinds of syncing but it does not show up.
Please help.
Thanks

No, the backup should only cover stuff like the data & settings related to your apps. The apps themselves and any media remain in the iTunes library. After restoring the iPod it should be possible to restore the device from the backup and have all the settings and data come back. I've done a full restore once on my iPhone and that went OK but there's always a risk that you'll have to go back to an "as new" setup. Once the device is restored the media library will be rebuilt from scratch which should repair any issues you currently have with the artwork cache.

Album art on iPod Touch

Help! I've downloaded Album art for every song on my iPod Touch - although the album art matches each song correctly in my iTunes library on my desktop, about 1/3 of the songs have the incorrect album art on my iPod. For example, a song by Chicago that has Chicago album art on my iTunes library, displays album art for Flo Rida when that Chicago song is playing on my iPod. Some songs have the correct album art, but others do not. I've tried to delete the album art, re-download it and then reload the song to my iPod, but it doesn't always work. Any suggestions?

Fixed my problem with the artwork. I just went to amazon.com and searched for the albums where the artwork was getting mixed up on my iPod Touch. I would right click on the album artwork on amazon.com and select copy. Then I would select all the songs from that album in my iTunes and right click to get info for all the album tracks. Then just paste the album artwork. It took two syncs (for some reason), but at least now all my album artwork is right in both my iTunes library and iPod Touch. Easy to do, but time consuming. One downside, some images on amazon.com aren't the highest quality. In those cases I would do a google search of the album name and click the images tab to find the best quality images. Then use the same copy and paste technique.

Why do only some tracks from some albums sync to iPod touch?

I'm having problems syncing music to my new-ish ipod touch. The strange thing is, it quite often only syncs half albums- so an album will be listed as being on my ipod but only half or less of the songs on the album will be there.
Anyone else had the problem of only half an album being synced? I've left it connected for a long time to give it time to sync and I know the files are the correct format. I've also restored the settings a couple of times but it still happens. My computer is a Macbook Pro. So perplexing!!!

The same place most people download iTunes, directly from Apple.

Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

How do I delete copies of the same albums off my iPod Touch 2g?

I recently put music on my iPod touch and I noticed that there was multiple
(4 copies) of one album. There was also a few that had 2 copies. I only put 1 copy of
each. When I go to iTunes it shows only 1 set of songs from a particular album. But on my iPod it's
a different story. 4 copies of said album shows up. Why does it do that, and how can I get rid
of all the unnecessary copies? It's annoying to look at.

Is it really 4 complete copies of the same album? Or, is it 4 separate pieces of the same album, each with different songs?
If you have 4 complete albums on the Touch, are you manually managing its contents? If so, connect to iTunes and delete the extra copies. I don't remember if the Touch is affected by this, but if you manually load an album onto your iPod, then make tag changes to that album in iTunes and drag it over again, you'll get a 2nd copy.
If you have 4 incomplete albums, it is likely due to a difference in tag values that should be consistent (e.g. album name). If this is what's going on, check the album to make sure that all songs have the same Artist, Album Artist, Album, and the values for # of songs and # of disks. Any variations in these fields will be seen as different albums by your iPod. If the album has multiple artists, then set the Album Artist of all songs on the album to "Various Artists" and tag all songs as "Part of a Compilation".
