Help... mini wont update my songs

Hi,
I bought my mini about 3 months ago, and starting about 1 week ago it will not update any of my songs that i have imported! i have all the updates, and everything, I reloaded the i-pod disc that came with it to see if that would help, it doesn't. I was wondering how I could make it upload again?
Amanda

Amanda,
Try to update your iPod using the iPod Updater sofware, DO NOT click Restore..
Also, how about placing a check ONLY next to the new songs you want to transfer to your iPod and then letting your iPod sync automatically?

IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

Help ipod wont update songs!!!

my ipod and itunes are updated and i tried to update my ipod with newly downloaded songs from i tunes. it says do not disconnect and the little ipod thing comes up in itunes and updates the 158 songsor w/e. then i go to play them on my ipod but they arent there! they r inthe ipod file in itunes but not actually on my ipod! what do i do! ive spent hours on this helpppp.

I have been experiencing the same issues with my Ipod. A week ago my Ipod started to act up. I reset my Ipod and it showed the unhappy face icon. I plugged it into my computer and by the morning it was fixed. Today, however, I tried to update the songs on my Ipod. After updating Itunes said my ipod contained 2993 songs. I disconnected my Ipod an checked the settings:About and it said 2909 songs. I understand how frustrating this is and I wanted you to know that your not alone in this endevor. I also tried the above solutions but none succeed to solve the problem. Hopefully a solution will be brought to our attention soon.

Hi,
I suggest backing up your data via Nokia Suite, then perform soft reset by pressing *#7780# followed by your security code. Then retry your software update by following the instructions below.
If you use a PC, Nokia Suite can check your phone’s current software version and download new versions when they become available, using your PC’s internet connection.
Nokia Suite also helps you to back up your contacts and photos, synchronise your calendar and update other applications such as Maps.
To update your phone’s software using Nokia Suite on your PC:
On your PC, open Nokia Suite and connect your phone
In Nokia Suite, select Tools > Software updates.
From the list of available updates, choose what you’d like to install.
It’s free to download and use Nokia Suite. It runs on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
Note: If you’re a Mac user, you need to update your software from your device as Nokia Suite is not available for Mac OS.
Hope this helps,
Thanks Whizzkid

Help mini wont play songs

This is a new ipod mini i have and it will not play songs although the music is on there. Its not that sound doesnt work, i look at the ipod and the time doesnt change = doesnt play. Can someone please help me

I am not dissing your post but you are expecting to get an immediate answer, when there are hundreds of people here who are in the same position you are. I don't see them posting every 2 hours.
Look who's talking about lecturing, the one who told me to back off when I was trying to help you. I'm not helping nobody with that attitude. You wait for someone to show up and help you so guess what?? You are going to wait even longer now!!

Ipod mini wont play downloaded songs

My ipod mini is not playing any or should i say ALL of the songs that I have bought from Itunes. It started acting up after I down loaded the new version of Itunes. Can't seem to get any help from Apple...I need to know what is wrong and how I can fix it. I mean not one song that I have purchased from the time I bought my ipod mini 3 months ago to today. HELP!!!!

Try burning the music to a CD, then ripping it back into iTunes and loading the ripped version to your iPod. A friend of mine had the same problem.

IPod mini wont play iTunes songs

I have recently downloaded 15 songs from iTunes. My iPod mini won't play them on it, but they will play will play on my computer. When I try to listen to them on the iPod it just skips over them and goes to the next song.

I've seen more posts about skipping
b purchased music
on the iPod, but there does not seem to be a universal solution yet.
Keep an eye on this Discussion
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@@.688f1365
to see if someone comes up with a fix.
You've updated now and that was non-destructive. Alas, it didn't work.
Before you try restoring (completely wipes your iPod clean), you should try Resetting. You might loose some information, but it's worth a try.
Read this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61018
In the bottom half you will find links to resetting and restoring.
Try resetting a few times. If that's not successful, it's up to you trying to restore or wait until there's a fix that works.
I can say it's not a general problem. I upgraded to iT5 (and 5.0.1), purchased music, transferred it to my 1st gen. iPod and everything works flawless.

Play Count Wont Update For Songs Under 11 Seconds Long

Hello,
I have downloaded iTunes 11 and have found that it does not seem to record a play count for songs (audio-book) that are under 11 seconds in length. Is there a way to amend this so that it does record a play count for these? I am playing songs directly from iTunes.
Chris

Hi Steven -- thanks, your fix works for me too. I hadn't even known about iTunes' File > Create New Version.
An alternate symptom: If I played the song and manually clicked near the end, it *would* update correctly. But if I played it through completely w/o skipping, it wouldn't update the play-count.
For any others:
I wanted to preserve the date-imported-into-library and play-count of the new version, so:
- File > Create New Version
- Looking at the new entry I saw, via File > Get Info > Summary > Where, that the new entry pointed to a (new) file which a " 1" added to the filename.
- I quit iTunes
- manually deleted the original/bad copy in the Finder,
- renamed the newer/good copy (deleting the appened '2').
- I re-started iTunes, and found the song.
[At this point: There were still two copies of the song in my play-list (as expected), but it was NOT the case that one was shown as 'file not locatable'; both were pointing to the single, correct .mp3, and both entries the original date-imported and play-count ( ! ) -- a bit of smart library clean-up being done by iTunes under the hood.]
- While viewing the full Songs list in iTunes (not a playlist) I deleted the version I didn't want (being sure to select 'keep file' rather than 'move to trash'), and it worked fine.
> (This doesn't explain why the play count updated fine for a year, though ...)
>
Totally guessing, but: perhaps the mp3 file is not quite in the standard/proper format. An old version of iTunes handled it correctly anyway, but a 2013-Nov-ish update to iTunes suddenly relies on the file being in the correct format?
I'm assuming the mp3 file has a header stating its song-time, which is different from the data that's *actually* provided. Redundant info can increase efficiency, but it opens the door to inconsistent data, which leads to bugs. Fortunately, this is a relatively minor one....

IPod Nano wont update songs!!!

Okay, when I plug my ipod nano into the USB port and my itunes pop up, the stage where my ipod would usually update itself is replaced with a popup window that says: Songs on "iPod Nano" cannot be updated because of all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
Yes, I have no playlists right now, for some reason in the past I deleted them all. But this problem has erased all the songs and things I have on my ipod and since it wont update my songs I cant seem to put them back in (this includes the burned ones and ones bought from the music store). I am totally confused on what to do, someone PLEASE help!!

I am experiencing, for the first time, a VERY similar issue; except I have MANY playlists, and, up until now, I have been able to selectively manage them on my iPod (2Gb iPod, 60Gb of music). Now, all of a sudden, I get the error that is quoted above, although I have already restored iPod twice, reinstalled iTunes once, as well as selected manual sync, and they all "crap-out" about 1/3 of the way thru the synch-job. Never before have I had any similar problems with my product. Please help.

Ipod mini not updating in itunes on emac

my mini wont update on my emac in itunes, we have the latest updates for both ipod and emac itunes etc.....
first it says that the ipod is connected with another lib and if i want to have the ipod use my library (which is the only lib it has ever been updated with)..
then it gets ready to copy and says that the "disk cannot be written to or read from"...
please help i have tried re setting my ipod and the computer and i dont know what else to do!!

See if anything here helps: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
Failing that try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have everything backed up. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

Ipod wont backup and wont update plzz help

my ipod wont back up so it wont update, im on 3.1.3. wy wont it backup?

I am having the same issue. When I plug in my ipod touch, it never gets past the backing up process, so I can't do anything.
My old pc broke so I am using a newer one. I downloaded itunes and authorized the computer so that it will work with my touch. I never had any problems on my old computer. Rign now I am running on windows vista, my touch is 2nd Gen, 8GB.
I updated to the newer version of itunes, but I can't update my touch with the new software.
I have been having these issues for months now. I am only trying to move over like 48 songs and remove some apps.
Any help would be awesome.
