Do out of order iTunes 11 tracks sync to iPod?

The upgrade to iTunes 11 caused various albums to show out of order track listsings in expanded view. We haven't re-synced our iPod to iTunes since the update for fear that this mis-ordering will be brought over to the iPod.
Will the new track ordering move to the iPod on sync?
Is there any way to force the old ordering?
We've looked at a lot of solutions on line, none have helped, they're for previous versions. We see a correlation between the albums we ripped from CD and the ones that are mis-ordered.
All help appreciated!!

I just reformatted the files to MP3 and it took care the problem.

My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!

Can I use a friend's computer to log in to my iTunes and sync my iPod without messing up their iTunes account?

The laptop I previously used to sync my iPod will no longer turn on. Is it possible to use a friend's computer and go on my iTunes and sync my iPod? She already has an iTunes account, so will it mess up her music and data?

Hello xNikkixx,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have the option to manually manage your content, you will be able to add content from multiple iTunes Libraries.

It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not. 2nd gen nano

My wife has a 2nd gen nano that will not sync. Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not, you can scroll through the menus and use it like it was not connected. When I first connect it, the do not disconnect sign appears then after a few seconds the main menu. She has used it for 2 years and it worked fine until today.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

Artists out of order when I sync.

Everytime I sync my iPod Touch 3g it messes with the sort order of the artists in my music (ex: some "G" artists will be in the "H" section, and so on). The only way I've been able to fix this is by restoring the iPod to factory settings. I don't want to do this everytime I sync to iTunes. Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

"Playlists no longer exsist" message in iTunes when syncing my iPod Mini

Whenever I plug my mini into my itunes the error message: "songs cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
I've tried restoring and reinstalling the software but it doesn't seem to be working. What's going on?

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Mini. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Doublechecking. Have you tried the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

Why do i have to erase my misic pics an games just for itune to sync my ipod

why do i have to erase all my stuff off my ipod to use a different computer just for itunes to sync? an is there a way i can save everything so i dont lose it all?

This isn't a podcasting question: the best place to ask would be in the iTunes Forum for Mac or the iTunes Forum for Windows as appropriate.

My Windows XP computer becomes extremely slow when I try using iTunes. It cannot connect to iTunes Store. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but nothing changes. I cannot use iTunes or sync my iPod anymore. Please help.

I cannot use iTunes anymore. My computer becomes extremely slow or just freezes. I notice the problem started after I updated iTunes to a new version. I have tried uninstalling iTunes completely from my computer and installing it back, but problem continues. We iTunes launches, it tries to connect to iTunes store, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that either. I can't sync my iPod or play back my music, please help.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Keeping my itunes playlist order after I sync to iPod Nano 7th Gen

So I created a playlist but I am having trouble keeping the order of songs after I sync. I have tried rating them as well but as soon as I sync, Alphabetical order is what I get. Any thoughts?

In iTunes, go to your playlist. On the playlist, click on its column header row at the far left end, above the column with sequential numbers below. That sorts the playlist by playlist order, and you can change the song order by dragging songs around on the list. You may have done this already.
If you sync this playlist to the iPod, it should appear in that order on the iPod.
If it does not, you may not be looking at the playlist on the iPod. If you select the list of All Songs on the iPod, it will be in alphabetical order. Even if you only have one playlist synced to the iPod, the All Songs list is not the playlist. If you select the playlist on the iPod, it should be in playlist order.

Can you check/uncheck multiple songs in iTunes for syncing to iPod?

In a previous reply to this question, the answer given was that you can use Command apple key to uncheck or check groups of iTunes songs for syncing.
Actually this does not work.
Apple Commmand only gives you the possibility to check or uncheck the ENTIRE list of iTunes.. unless I am completely mad.
There must be a way to select say 5 songs from an album and check/uncheck them all at the same time. So that you can make a fresh selection of songs each time you sync to an iPhone or iPod
I simply cannot believe that iTunes is so dumb that this option is not available...
ie what one needs to be able to do is highlight x number of songs at a time and then check or uncheck them as you go through the iTunes list to make a fresh syncing selection
I hope this can be answered
best

Once you have all of the selected items, RIGHT CLICK (or alt click whatever) one of those highlighted items and select either CHECK or UNCHECK SELECTION.
This is EXACTLY the point at which I get stuck - what is the actual key command for Right Click - it is not Alt Click or any combination, and looking for his in the iTunes help does not yield a result.
Please give me that actual key stroke combination to effect this last operation: I have always been able to select multiple tracks in the way you describe with Shift - but how to actually CHECK and UNCHECK a selection.. once the tracks are selected
Would much appreciate the answer to this

ITunes not syncing with iPod Touch 5th gen

Yesterday I purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation, and have it linked to my MacBook Pro using iTunes 12. I am running OSX 10.9.5, and cannot figure out why it is syncing all the songs I have stored in my cloud, when the "sync only selected songs" box is checked. On my ipod screen I can see all of the songs I've ever purchased, with the cloud and arrow.
Does anyone know how to keep these songs from appearing if they are not checked as "to be synced" on iTunes?
Thank you!

Yes.
