Fully synced iTunes and iPod show different quantity of songs
Here's an odd little one that I hope somebody may be able to help with. iTunes and my 80Gb iPod Classic are fully synced (I've just synced them again to be sure), but while the Music tab on iTunes is showing that I have 2766 songs, on the iPod it only shows that 2740 are there.
I'm wondering where the other 26 songs are on the iPod, when both are fully synced. I must admit I haven't gone through every single song on both of them to try and find where the 'missing' 26 are.
Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue of the iPod counter simply being wrong? Or are there really 26 songs whach have, for some unknown reason, not synced to my iPod?
How many music videos do you have? When I first got my iPod I had this same problem and it turned out that the music videos showed up under the music tab. When I'd check the music count on my iPod it was less by exactly the number of music videos I had. The music videos on the iPod were in the Video section.

ITunes and iPod show different number of songs for same playlist
Alright Apple.
I have been having this problem EVERY time I add new songs to my playlist. My songs sync up, as it shows up in my entire music library, but the playlist is missing songs all of a sudden. Somehow I am able to get out of it sometimes, but I don't know how. I've Googled every thing and I have tried every "IT support" trick in the book including rebooting the ipod and my computer, unplugging and replugging, resyncing, unsyncing and resyncing, and making sure the song is checked, and making sure that music is set to sync in the iPod settings in iTunes. Here's what it looks like:
I have 367 songs in this playlist, but on the iPod, it only shows 360. I can't get it out of this state right now.
I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation with iOS 5.1.1.
The PC I'm syncing with is Windows 7 with SP1
iTunes 10.6.1.7.
It's an ASUS UL30Vt
I also have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation that I was planning to sell, but it doesn't have this problem.How many music videos do you have?

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.

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! -

Error code -69 when trying to sync iTunes and iPod
When syncing to iTunes, I receive error code -69, and will not complete the sync. Please help. Using Windows XP.
Error -69 means the song/s that was selected for syncing is un-usable, there should be an error message that tell you which song is un-usable or corrupted. You have to re-download the song from the source or delete it.
If re-download still does not work, convert it using iTunes to iPod version.
Or select the song ,
click Advanced on the top Menu
Select Create iPod version.
Then sync again
Good Luck! -
Mac and iPhone showing different number of songs
I have iTunes match enabled to the same (and my only) account on several devices. They are all showing different # of songs:
iPhone: 1,331
iPad: 1,328
Mac: 1,315
PC: 1,139
Why? How do I get all the tunes on my Mac and especially PC?
I have synched with the cable to my PC and received no errors.
Help!haha its been 2 years. And no, i didn't figure it out, but i speculate it may have to do how Mac OSX and Windows reads the FAT file system (my tb hdd was FAT formatted so i could use it on both OS) and calculates remaining space.
That may be right, or it may be completely wrong lol

Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

Hello brainiac08
Typically that error occurs because of a backup issue. Check out the article below to resolve it.

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
any help?Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

I updated my iPod and now, two movies, which were purchased in iTunes and have/show both HD and SD versions are no longer syncing to or playing on my iPod.
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod firmware number as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Is there any error message when you try to sync the vidoes?

I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER 6.2GB used came from?Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button. -
All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
