Help - My 30 GB Ipod only downloads 342 songs...

I have about 490 in my itunes Library, but everytime I go to update my Ipod it downloads 342 songs and then gets "stuck" on 343 and then starts making a grinding noise and freezes up. So then I have to go through the restore process only for it to happen again....and again....and again....and always gets stuck on song 343. I have tried every possible way to download the songs including manually and even by individual song, switching orders that I upload them, etc. But no matter what, #343 freezes it up.
Suggestions please. Thank you in advance.

Okay, then let's try a reinstall of iTunes.
(Although you may have downloaded iTunesSetup.exe again onto your computer, it's not the same if you didn't remove iTunes+QuickTime off your computer using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility first. So try proceeding onto a full reinstall of iTunes here):
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

I hv both us and india itunes account.....and my ipod only download frm indian store nd i live in US.......Why???plz help

The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance. - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE" (This reads the same for the Apple Store terms of use for pretty much any country.)

Help. My 120GB Ipod only stores 113GB and my music collection is 118GB.

This is frustrating.
My music collection is 118GB but will not all for on my 120GB iPOD! he iPod only stores 113GB. Where is the other 7GB, album covers?
I find it impossible to cull some music! When I try I find myself wanting an album that has been culled!
Are there any ways to get my music collection onto my iPOD?

A 120Gb (decimal) iPod comes in at about 113Gb (binary) when your computer reports the space on it. Hard drive manufacturers nearly always use the SI meaning of Giga, 10 to the power of 9, whereas computer software tends to use 1024 (2 to the power of 10) for Kb, 1024 x 1024 for Mb etc. The larger the drive the more obvious the discrepancy between the two representations of the same munber.
113Gb (binary) = 113 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 121,332,826,112 ≈ 120Gb (decimal)
Your collection will grow... Sooner or later it will be bigger than your device & you will have have to decide what to leave out. In the meantime you might find the *Convert higher bitrate songs to 128k AAC* feature helps out a bit.

My Ipod isnt downloading the songs from itunes?

I have my ipod touch 4th gen. plugged into my laptop. I am trying to get the songs from itunes (on my laptop) to my ipod. I am clicking the song and dragging it to my ipod but thats not working. I also tried syncing my whole library of 197 songs but only 22 are going onto my ipod after the complete sync. PLEASE HELP MEE!?! My block party is in an hour and i am in charge of the music and only have 22 songs....

What happens when you try to redownload them directly to the iPod?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1535 i cannot get to a screen that says library and my IPOD only shows 1 song when there are many more. My IPOD does not show upas a adevisw under my, or any other name really ready to toss it out the door.

I can't get my IPOD NANO to update my libreary onthe new itunes webset. It will no recognize my older musis, it shows noting to selece onthe right side of sreen to select musid, shows nolibrary, mostly shows nothing. Really frustrating. any help would be appreciated

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

My iPod only plays one song at a time

I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
So far, so good.
The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any advice gratefully received.

Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

Why can I only download one song every 90 days?

Everytime I try to download a song from my purchased it says one song every 90 days!

Hello, bridgeted.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your computer has been associated with another Apple ID in the past 90 days. Here is some information regarding this process.
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maxium of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

My iPod only downloads the first minute or so of podcasts

When I try to download podcasts directly to my iPod, it stops downloading early so I only get the first minute or so of each podcast. I don't leave my wifi network or turn off my iPod while they're downloading, and an error message never pops up, it just acts as if the download was complete. Is there anything I can do?

I've been having this same problem since I installed version 8.1 of iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING to no avail, oh wait, things got worse. At first it was only songs I had downloaded since installing version 8 but now songs I rip from my CDs are skipping as well.
The only songs I have on my iPod are from iTunes or my own CDs.
I've tried the 5Rs more times than I can count now, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime multiple times, I've recreated my iTunes library multiple times, I've tried setting Gapless to yes for all songs, I've tried setting Gapless to no for all songs, nothing worked.
I was beginning to think it was my iPod's hard drive but it's not. I have an older version of iTunes on my laptop (8.0.2.20) so I loaded the same songs that were skipping when sync'd from ver 8.1. They don't skip when sync'd from the older version of iTunes.
Either something is wrong w/ 8.1.1.10 and my 5g iPod and 2g Nano or something happened during the install and I haven't been able to completely wipe iTunes and Quicktime before reinstalling them.
ps: I forgot to add that the songs play fine in iTunes and when I play them from the iPod through iTunes.

I cant delete music from my iphone since downloading iOS 7 i have tried synching it and making sure that i only download checked songs bt still wont get rid of them..can anyone help?

After downloading ios7 i cant delete msuic from my iphone can anyone help?

Hello Amanda,
I wonder if you are seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases. The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud. You can hide these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone. You can find more information about hiding purchases here:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
If the songs do not display a cloud icon next to them, try deleting them directly from the iPhone using these steps:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.

Ipod only syncing first song off most selected to sync albums

My ipod touch fourth generation is only syncing the first song off most of the albums I've selected to sync. A few completely random albums appear in full. I have tried a few approaches thinking maybe the problem had to do with itunes not knowing it's target folder. I deleted all my songs, kept the files, then reloaded all the songs in. This did nothing. Itunes will play the albums in their entirety on my computer, so the files work and are there. And also, when I'm syncing, I can see that the songs are set to eventually sync within the ipod, the tracks appear but they are greyed out. For some reason they just never sync.
I tried manually selecting albums, as opposed to artists, to sync and that didn't work either. On top of this, I have a smart playlist set to sync as well, and still the first song problem persists.
Needless to say, this is frustrating as ****. Any help would be much appreciated

It took me over a week, and multiple calls to Apple Care, and three Genious Bar appointments, and a replaced iPod to find a workaround for this odd problem. What I finally found to work is set it to manual managment of music, and delete everything. Then, add your songs in small bunches. I have put upwards of 750 on at once and it still worked properly.
As for the source of the problem, it is still anyone's guess.
I hope this works for you too. I wonder if it has something to do with a large music library.

My ipod only holds 200 songs when it should hold 2000

Everytime I try to put all my music from my itunes library onto my ipod, it says there isn't enough free space. I looked at how much free space I have compared to how many songs I have. Only 349 MB has audio, Other takes up 2.54 GB. Does anyone know what the OTHER could possibly be? I didn't put any pictures or anything on my ipod. I'm just really confused and i would really appreciate it if anyone can help me. Thank you!

You can try adding the music manually. This article tells you how:

In manual mode, you'll have to manually eject your iPod.
