Hi, is it possible to store songs by folder ways in ipod Nano?

when you click on artists, and then select the artist you want, it can ither go straight through all of the chosen artist's albums and songs in cd order, or you can put it on shuffle mode so it can put songs in a random order.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- The try syncing. If you synced last time with this computer you should not a have a problem.

After i purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?

After I purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?

I have the same question. My Itunes is on my laptop, my ipad, and my nano. I just purchased new songs on my ipad. You can see them in the ITunes Library on my ipad and laptop. I plug in my nano and manually press SYNC as it is not doing it automatically. It looks as though it is syncing, but newly downloaded songs do not show up on nano. Help...

Is it possible to read txt files on the new ipod nano? as it was on the 5th gen

is it possible to read txt files on the new ipod nano? as it was on the 5th gen.

We won't know for sure until either the iPod is released and somebody can verify that or when the manual is available online from Apple.

I only have 16bit windows vista on my laptop. Can I use my iPad to download songs from iTunes Store and sync to my new iPod Nano?

I have a 16bit vista laptop which is unreliable and I do not wish to use it to transfer songs to my new iPod Nano. Can I sync downloads from my Apple iPad instead?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

How do I get itunes to sort songs the same way my ipod does, without renaming the songs?

Itunes and my ipod use different algorithms when sorting songs. Here are a few examples:
In itunes, apostrophes come before spaces/other characters ("It's Good to Be King" comes before "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "You're an Original" comes before "You Better You Bet." In my ipod, apostrophes come after spaces/other characters.
In itunes, numerical song titles are sorted by the first number, then the second, and so on (18, 1983, 2112, 25, 3). In my ipod, numerical song titles are sorted in ascending numerical order (3, 18, 25, 1983, 2112).
The order is relevant for two reasons. One, I like the sound of the song flow generated by my ipod's sorting better than the one generated by itunes. Two, I use play count to determine whether or not to keep a song on my playlist (songs that I skip over repeatedly get cut entirely) and the changing song order tends to mess up the play count.
So, other than going in and changing the names of the songs, is there some way to make itunes behave like my ipod?

I deal with the numeric ordering by padding out the sort fields with leading zeros. iTunes used to sort numbers by value but it seems the code for that got removed at some point and hasn't been replaced. You should be able to use sort values to achieve some consistency between the two views of your media.

Can I load songs and photos into an Ipod Nano I have purchased as a gift?

I have purchased an Ipod Nano 2GB as a gift for my 9 year old granddaughter for Xmas.
Before sending it I'd like to load some songs & photos on it, from my own Ipod Library and computer.
I'm concerned that doing this from my computer will only complicate things when they receive the Ipod and then install it on their own computer. The family is not real computer literate and the simpler the better.
What advice does anyone have - best to leave the new Ipod untouched and empty and have the initial install with Itunes/Apple on the computer they will be using? (Windows XP as well)
Thanks very much!

Personally I think it would be best to leave it. To use an iPod on multiple computers it has to be set to manual update. If your granddaughter wanted to update her iPod automatically (which is the simplest way) whatever you put on would get erased as the songs and pictures wouldn't be on her computer. Why not send along an iTunes gift certificate with it so she can buy some songs she'd like? Also, point the family to this web page, there's lots of useful information for new users here: iPod Nano Fast Start: New User's Guide to iPod Nano

Songs Transferred from ITUNES to IPOD NANO don't appear in IPOD NANO

Help. I tried to do something simple: add songs to my ipod nano. Though the songs "appear" in the itunes gui when the ipod symbol is selected, I don't see these songs in my ipod when I eject it.
I have updated itunes (6.0.4.2) and ipod software (1.1.1), and have restored my ipod nano. So with a clean slate, problem still persists. Except now, since I restored my ipod, I have NO songs on it, so it is worthless until I resolve this problem.
I got this ipod nano at Christmas and was able to load it with songs (eventually) back in January. So I have a feeling that a software update is screwing me up.
It is as if the itunes doesn't properly transfer the songs into the ipod, even though it appears to do so in the itunes gui.
Thank you for your help.

MORE INFORMATION:
I tried various ways to transfer songs into the itunes ipod icon: from library, from playlist, even tried transferring playlist. In all situations, the transferred songs appear within the ipod icon as they should, but ipod doesn't show these songs when ejected. It's as if there is a missing "burn ipod" step or something.
I tried installing older itunes software, but it wouldn't let me because I had a new version. I didn't want to uninstall my current version for fear of wiping out my entire library.
I am not ready to take this step yet. I am hoping apple has a fairly simple solution.

How do i transfer only the songs i want to my ipod nano?

I just got an ipod nano today and have installed iTunes and have charged my nano. Now iTunes seems to be putting songs in an iTunes music folder in my 'my music' folder by itself. I dont want every song from 'my music' to be put in the iTunes folder so how do i stop this and copy them there myself? And also on iTunes when i click on Library it comes up with hunderds of songs. Once my albums have copied i only want those and i dont want the other hundereds of single songs i have that are not part of real albums. So how do i make sure only the albums i want are put on the nano? Finally, how do i move music to the nano or does the fact the albums seem to be appearing in an iTunes music folder by themselves mean those are in my ipod?

Hi Richard, you're great to help out, but the checkbox thing is pretty convoluted, in my opinion.
I recommend using smart playlists to sync to iPod.
Creating a Smart Playlist
You can choose to have a playlist automatically created from specific songs in your library using Smart Playlists. You can create a Smart Playlist that includes only certain types of music, songs with high ratings, or songs that match other criteria. For example, you could create a playlist that's no more than 5 gigabytes (GB) in size, and includes only your highest rated jazz songs.
Choose File > New Smart Playlist.
To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure "Match the following condition" is checked, then make your selections from the pop-up menus.
For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
To add additional matching criteria, click the Add button.
To make the playlist a specific duration or size, select "Limit to" and make your selections from the pop-up menus.
To include only songs that have a checkmark beside them in your library (and that match your conditions), select "Match only checked songs."
To have iTunes continually modify your Smart Playlist as songs are added to or removed from your library, make sure "Live updating" is selected.
To create your Smart Playlist, click OK, then name the playlist in the Source list.
Any songs in your library that match the settings you chose are added to the playlist. A Smart Playlist icon has a gear icon on it.

Can't update the songs in a 7th Gen. iPod nano! Help!

Okay, I've been having problems with my 7th Gen iPod nano and I'm getting tired of this. A few days ago, I had a virus in my computer (the iPod wasn't hooked up at the time), and I had to restore everything in my computer. I downloaded iTunes again and when I plugged my iPod in the computer, the songs in my library are updated, but when I unplug the iPod nano, the songs in my playlist show songs that I had previously listened too a few weeks before the virus. But, now every time I plug it in to update the songs, my library on the computer updates, but the songs in the iPod still show the same list of songs from weeks ago. It doesn't show any sign of being updated. Plus, I looked up on the computer to see how to unfreeze the songs, and it tells me to hold the button for a few seconds and wait for the Apple Logo, I do that, but I don't see any Apple Logo. It doesn't seem to restore anything. Is my iPod not working now?
And I know that it's not an iPod nano, but I'm having the same problem with my 5th Generation iPod. I don't know what is going on, but I can't seem to update my 5th Generation iPod either.
Can someone help me with this? I don't know what else to do. I'm wondering if I need to buy new iPods, but I don't really want to spend the money to buy new iPods unless I REALLY need too.
Thanks,
Raven

Yes. My dad did a system restore and wiped everything out, and then reinstalled the computer. What do you mean to check my sync settings? Sorry, but whenever something happens to my ipods, I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do for them. If I can't get the ipods fixed, what's the next option?
Thanks,
Raven.

All songs are erased when connecting Ipod Nano to PC.

It happened a few times now since the last few months, so last momnth I uppdated all softwares and installed the latest Itune. But it happened again last night. All songs got erased as soon as I plugged in my Ipod Nano to update or add new songs. Anyone experience that, what can it be.

Ok not sure what you mean, I did have to restore it It's my daughter's ipod)at work on my computer, added a few songs to see if it works, so it worked, gave it to her and she strted using it at home on the home computer and synched her ipod with Itunes to download her songs, was good for a few weeks and then last week she connected the usb cable to put more songs, that's when she lost everything and Itunes said to use the Ipod updater.... again!!!
So do you mean that I she has to be on manual mode at home, since I initally put some music on my work computer???

Songs won't load into ipod nano from new computer.

Load itunes library from old computer. Installed iTunes& authorized new computer. iTunes recognizes my iPod nano (4th generation), but won't load songs when synchronizing.
Any suggestions on how to fix?

I am having a similar problem. I recent reset my iPod as some songs were just skipping during play (they showed on the screen but after a second would just skip to next song), and have been trying to re-sync with no success. I have over 8,000 songs and when I attempt to update songs iTunes puts about 100 or so songs on then stops and states all songs have been updated. When I select update again it adds another 100 or so. Counting to 8,000 is going to take a while!! Don't know what to do...iTunes 5.0.1.4 9/23/2005 firmware. HELP!

Song won't upload to ipod nano

i uploaded all my songs from itunes onto my nano but it has this screen that keeps popping up saying that one song cannot upload onto the nano. it's not an english song. it's a vietnamese song and the other rest are english. that's the only song that won't go into my nano. can you help me with why it won't transfer? is it because it's not an english song?

I am by no means an expert here, I generally don't have a clue what I'm talking about. However, check the file type/extention (songname.mp3, songname.m4a, songname.m4p, etc) of your song and then look here:
iPod: About compatibe song formats
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61476
If you have a nano (assuming you do since in the "Using your iPod nano" section) and the song is an .m4p file, I am having the exact same problem. I know of a lot of other people with incompatibility issues with .m4p files. If it is an .m4p, I can't help you. I've been hounding Apple and they are not doing anything about the issue. As far as I can tell, the iPod nano canNOT play iTunes files (.m4p).

HT1296 sync new songs on new computer to ipod nano

My old computer "crashed" but I had songs backed up. I purchased a new computer. But all my songs I have purchased will not sync on my ipod nano. Can anyone help?

I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.
