All songs synced when selected playlists, artists and genres is used
For some reason when I check check "selected playlists, artists and genres" and uncheck the artists I do not want on the iphone they are not removed.
Reading the forums it was indicated that songs that are part of a playlist will not be removed so I deleted all the playlists and the songs/artists are still on the iphone.
I then removed all songs and added them back in but they are still there.
I even disabled genius and the artists/songs are still there.
I know I can manually manage the music but unchecking the artists would be very unwieldy.
The main summary screen is set to open itunes when this iphone is connected and nothing else and the music tab does not have the automatically fill free space with songs checked.
Just installed iTunes 10 in the hopes that this would resolve the issue but to no avail.
Help please I just want to sync my phone and leave off artists I uncheck (multiple albums and compilations)

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation. -
I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?
Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox -
ITunes playlist songs disappear when selected to play
iTunes playlist songs disappear when selected to play - ie double-clicked, or clicked once and then play selected. The song doesn't play although there is a brief 'flash' of something at the top of the screen where you would normally see the song details mwhile playing.
The song is not deleted from the library but is still missing from the playlist when iTunes is restarted.Ron Kozinski wrote:
I just recently upgraded to iTunes 9 and have found that some songs (18 of 750) will no longer play. I get a couple different error messages, one saying iTunes cannot find the URL for the song and another saying iTunes cannot find the file for the song. I hate to pay for these songs again since I already purchased them from the iTunes store, but I don not know what other options are available. Has anyone had this problem and if so, is there a way to fix these songs?
Usually that occurs when the file, or one of its containing folders, is moved, renamed, or deleted. If you remember doing one of those things, see if you can put it back the way it was. Otherwise, search on your hard drive for the song file, and re-add it to your library. -
HT1386 How can I sync only selected playlists from my library in iTunes to iPhone?
Option to sync only selected playlists is grayed out in iTunes for my iPhone. How can I make it so I don't have to sync my entire library?
know this might sound silly
but make sure that
1) sync music is checked
2) you have playlist with songs in them
3) your songs have some sort of sorting form on them (artist, genre, album, etc.)
also try
rebooting pc and device and reconnecting
if all else fails, redownload itunes -
Multiple Artists and Genres per Song
I listen to lots of electronic music, and I'm a professional DJ.
Electronic music is a very diverse and complex music category, and have lots of genres and sub-genres. Electronic music producers usually try to transpose genre boundaries, and they usually produce songs contained in two or more equally important genres. For instance, a track can be contained in the genres "house" and "techno", or "disco", "techno" and "acid".
Also, it's really very common that electronic music artists collaborate with each other. Songs produced in collaboration do not belong to one single artist, but to two or more. In this case, it's not correct to say that one is the main artist, and the others are second artists (collaborators, composers remixes, or whatever) - they all detain the same equal authorship status over the composed track.
The problem with iTunes is that it supports one single genre, and one single artist per song. Sure, there's the album artist, but, again, that doesn't apply to albums where multiple artists participate with equal importance. And using "V.A." or "Various Artists" in the song artist or album artist fields is ugly and useless - it doesn't say anything relevant.
I know that Smart Playlists and Grouping features can help alleviate this deficiency, but they don't solve them at all. They're not elegant and complete solutions. If you browse the iTunes library, you will still see tracks as having only one genre and one artist, which is very frustrating.
What I ask is really easy to implement. In fact, it wouldn't require to alter the existing ID3 and tag scheme. Just split artists and genres using a colon or semicolon character. For instance, in the "Artist" tag, iTunes can store the following:
"Christian Smith; Mark Broom; Renato Cohen"
and then, in the browser, iTunes could display "Christian Smith", "Mark Broom" and "Renato Cohen" as three distinct artists.
The same could be used for the "Genre" tag:
"Techno; House; Progressive"
could be see, in the browser, as three different genres: "Techno", "House" and "Progressive".
I've made an extensive web research, and I know that this deficiency doesn't annoy only me, but lots of other users. And it's a pretty old request too - dated from 2003.
Please, Apple, implement this feature. My huge electronic music collection really needs to be categorized into multiple artists and multiple genres.
Thank you.Well said comment...
The solution to this problem overall is simple.
If I pull out my Ipod, and go to the section to browse by artist, then all artists would be listed individually in the list if they are separated in a song by the '&' symbol. In the main music list in itunes, this would not result in multiple copies of the file.
The same situation would apply in the genre browser. If there is a tag with "POP & Chinese" then the song would appear if I was searching in pop OR Chinese. It would not show a Genre called "POP & Chinese" in the genre browser. It would show POP and Chinese SEPARATELY in the list!!!
This is not a issue of some programming esoterica nor does it require some super genius to figure out.
Wake up Apple programmers....
Even smartlists are broken in the ipad/ipod and don't work the same way as they do in itunes. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT A5X chip that you can't fix this problem? I make a smartlist for the genre section at least and this allows me to accomplish what I stated above with genres by using the smartlists instead of the genre browser.
The artist browser and genre browser are worthless to me... since MANY of my songs have multi-artist and multi-genre separated by '&' and the stupid browser lists all the permutations instead of delimiting the genres and artists.
My genre list looks sorta like this:
Pop & chinese & instrumental
Pop & japanese
Pop & Soundtrack & Anime & Japanese
Pop & score & anime
Pop & chinese & vocal
Pop & electronica
What a mess... but I can't categorize my stuff any other way without making it hard to decide which place to put a song. Does a chinese soundtrack pop song get filed under chinese? or pop? or soundtrack? I SHOULD be able to find the song regardless of which sub-genre I look under in the genre browser.
This is basically simple. The people that understand this are basically right and Apple is WRONG on this... no matter what detractors on this thread say. The devices and software could easily be tweaked to dramatically improve the user experience but Apple is poor at getting involved in discussion forums like this to allow us to help them fix these issues. Some of the product developers on the app store are far more receptive to suggestions than Apple is. They are not getting enough of the advantages of crowd sourcing.
I would fly out to Cupertino and correct MANY UI mistakes/errors for them if they will have me out there...
I'll hold my breath and wait for a message to have me come out there. There are still a lot of things about OSX and iOS that can be made simpler too. still FAR too much extraneous junk and poor implementation of cloud capabilities.
Why on earth does itunes have a "get info" menu dropdown to get into track data? Why is the track data separated into 7 submenus separated by tabs? The whole data entry situation in itunes is way too complex. It's downright painful.
Why are there no 24bit audio files yet for premium prices? Are the people at apple doing too much LSD? WHAT IS GOING ON? You have to be disabled not to hear the difference between great recordings and that 256kbps garbage the peddle. come to my house on the 107db sensitivity speakers with a Class A amplifier and tell me you can't tell the difference and I will have your hearing checked.
hopefully the itunes department will contact someone on this thread to provide a list of the mistakes in itunes/ipod software so the problems can all be fixed.
An AUDIOPHILE needs to take over itunes and fix this nonsense STAT. It's simply embarassing at this point. Where are my 24 bit files on my 1000gb ipod? WHY IS THERE NO AUDIOPHILE IPOD? They can use there 100 billion cash hoard and make a GOOD home distribution system beyond "airplay/airport".
Why is mediocrity being considered at Apple when they do so many other things great? Considering I own half a million dollars in stock, believe me I do appreciate the company at large. I am only ranting about the treatment of audiophiles and the complete dumbing down of the music experience to mass garbage when we live in the 21st century. What we see is important (retina display) but what we hear is not?
/rant off...
Apple feel free to contact me and I can tell you how to develop the BEST product for music ever implemented... I don't need compensation... I want products that I WANT to buy!!!! -
I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
What I should do now?Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new". -

There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it. -

ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync
Hi,
I've been having this problem for many many years.
I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod. I have my iPod set to sync the entire library. All songs in the library are checked for sync as well. I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue. As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them. Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync? Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible? Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates. I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results. I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results. I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results. I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings. All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats. I don't use playlists at all.
If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know. I don't want to have to check every single file.
Thanks!Dougout78 wrote:

So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose! -
Shuffle songs when selecting playlist by genre
When I choose to listen to songs by "genre" on my iPhone, the new OS seems to not allow me to shuffle all sings within that genre, only songs within an artist or album. Am I missing something?
I know how to play songs shuffled within a playlist
using iTunes... but when I select playlist on my
iPod the songs are not shuffled. How do I shuffle
songs within a playlist when playing them on the
iPod??
Thanks.
Dell C400 Laptop
Windows XP 60G Video iPod
Under the Settings menu, select Shuffle. Try setting the shuffle to to "Songs" rather than "Albums". That's what worked for me. Also works to shuffle songs from your entire library under Music/Songs. If you have it set to album, it will shuffle the albums but not the songs within the album. Hope this helps! -

Getting rid of iTunes Radio. How do I navigate back to my own music library? The tool bar at the bottom disappears.
Open the Music app.
Tap More on the bottom menu
Tap Edit (upper right)
Drag the icon on or off the lower tool bar to select the functions you want on it.
At step #2, you can also simply select the view you wish to use.
To navigate back to a view that shows the menu (for example, when you are playing a song), tap the < icon (upper left). -
