Cross Check Library With iPod?

Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to cross check your iPod library with your iTunes library. The reason I am asking this question is because I go to my friend's house and get music off of their computers, and now when I look at my iPod, it has 3976 songs. However, my iTunes library only has 3967 songs. I wanted to be able to do a quick check of what songs are not in my iTunes library.
Thanks for all your help.
PS - No, syncing would not fix my problem for having the same on my ipod as that would erase all my songs on my ipod. Thanks.

I figured it out. If you've been on manual management on the previous version, when you download 7.2 you have to reactivate your manual management on the options list or your Ipod does not connect with iTunes. As simple as that.

Replacing iTunes library with iPod library?

replacing iTunes library with iPod library?
Can anyone tell me how I can replace my entire iTunes music library with my iPod music?

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iPodRip Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only

If your library is currently empty and your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. For the duration of the transfer change your update setting to manual so you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
Whichever of these transfer methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

any help would be much appreciated.

Doesn't sync my library with iPod... Help me please or I'll dye...

Hi, please please help me if you can. I was working all the summer and I've bought iPod nano for my money and... Firt it worked well and everything was going well but.. From Friday I cannot sync my iPod with library. I tried restore it, but it didn't help at all. Actually, the problem is, that if I download some file from internet and then I want to put it into my iPod, I can't. It doesn't sync it, without any error messege (it doesn't show any error messege). It syncs unly "official" CD's. For example, my boyfriend has sent me a song he sang for me, but I can't have it on my iPod. You can see my English is horrible, I've got the iPod in UK so I don't know how I will resolve this. I am just a woman, and this is complicated technical problem, so it's extremelly stressfull situation for me. Heeelp please!!!

Ok, so, basically... You have to have songs in your PC when you are syncing. Never ever upload the song to iTunes and then delete it because f*ing iTunes will not sync it to your iPod. That's it.

Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

With 7.0.2 can't sync library with iPod

Upgraded to 7.0.2 and during installation got a message that a corrupted Ipod had been detected. Can't figure that--all was well until upgrade. I can transfer to my library but I can't sync library to my iPod (it's all white). I've reinstalled 7.2 and restored several times but no luck. The restoration transfers new stuff but I can't do it by click & drag. Seems 7.2 is causing problems for many....any help?

Can't sync items in iTunes library with iPod Touch

I've purchased items from the iTunes store, but have been able to transfer them to my iPod Touch. Whenever I try I get a message that says that 2 of my items could not sync. How do I get these items onto my iPod Touch?

That's because those items were purchased with other accounts.

Weird problems with ipod classic 80gb, hdd's gone?

Hi, hope u could help me.
Excuse my not fluent english, I'm not british/american so I will try to make myself as clear as possible. Thanks
First of all, got iPod classic 80gb, systems Vista/XP, was trying to cope with this problem on both computers, but ran out of ideas, so decided to make a topic on Apple forum.
Few days ago my iPod was working fine, then I put some stuff on it (put them in 'Notes', using iPod as a pendrive) and weird things started to happen. Maybe it has something to do with it, don't know, but will try to write as many details as possible.
When I connect my iPod to the computer (i tried on 3 computers), every time my Windows doesn't recognize an iPod (computer sees something has been connected, but doesn't see what). So if I go to 'Computer' I even do not see an iPod disc.
I can't open iTunes when iPod is connected, but once I disconnect my iPod, iTunes opens immediately. If I open iTunes before connecting an iPod, iTunes works fine but it can't see an iPod as well. (I used an option with checking connection with iPod but it sees nothing unfortunetely).
Later, when I want to disconnect my iPod using 'safe remove hardware' it doesn't work, just hangs.. so I have to unplug my iPod and once I do it, it immediately appears 'USB xxxxx now can be disconnect safely' (something like that, very similiar to the iTunes case).
When I disconnect my iPod, it just hangs showing 'Connected, do not disconnect', sth like that, so I got to restart it and then works fine.
My iPod works fine without connecting to the computer, everything is just fine.
Any ideas? Already tried to reset settings on iPod and tried to re-install iTunes, but I guess problems lays somewhere beetween iPod and computer which doesn't see my iPod.. Also I tried to re-install USB slots/drivers, didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Robert.

When I had Windows XP on a Lenovo, I also had a U2 20Gb iPod...The problem was, believe it or not, the battery! I took it to ipodrepair in Toronto, and they said there was some servo or switch that was blown. It couldn't charge properly and when it was connected to the computer, it went into limbo - not able to charge, not able to load the ipod.
So, check with repair if you can...It may be the battery, even on a new one!
Good Luck!

My Top Rated songs, when I synch my iP4S - comes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong?

When synching, itcomes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong? This happens every time so I click them and it sorts them (boring with 200 odd). How can I prevent this?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Sharing more than one iTunes library with one iPod

Hi.
I've tho Mac connected together. I've two different libraries, one for ech one. Well, I'd like to charge my iPod with songs from the two libraries. How can I proceed? I've tried to share the libraries, I can listen to the tracks but no way to transfer to the iPod.
Thanks in advence for your help.
Regards

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one library or computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

I have 1 itunes library with an iphone and ipod linked to it. My daughter bought a ipod touch. Can we download music from my library into her library. We want to keep them separate due to I do not want all her games in my phone

I have 1 itunes library with a phone and ipod linked to it. My daughter just got a touch. She would like to have some of my music downloaded into her touch. How can I do that without having her linked to my library?

Sync all the devices to the same computer.
If you do not want her apps, then simply do not select them to sync to your device.
Each device will only sync what you select to sync.
lllass gave you a great link for several options.
