How do I get my iPods to stop syncing songs only in my playlist on my iPod 4th generation and iPod 5th generation ????

about a year ago i got a replacement ipod for my 4th gen itouch and for some reason some songs were only showing up in the playlists and not  under artist. and last year i got the ipod 5th gen and the same thing happened and i tired everything and nothing has worked so far.Extremely frustrating. so my  question is how can i fix this problem???
*I did a hard reset
*downloaded the new itunes
* unsynced and resynced the music
* i have "Manually manage music and videos" under the "Summary" in intunes
*i tired pressing the home and power button at the same time and nothing

Hi altsoax2010,
If you are not seeing some of your songs listed by artist, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How do I get my Shuffle to stop syncing???

    When I plug in my shuffle, it automatically syncs with Itunes. I don't want it to do that - I want to choose which songs go on the shuffle, and I want to keep some off. All the directions in the Help section refer to tabs I don't have on my Itunes, like "Summary" and "Music." How do I get my shuffle to stop syncing with itunes??

    iTunes actually performs a consistency check between the shuffle's contents and iTunes library... tracks not in the library are deletde from the shuffle. NO tracks are automatically added. YOu do that by selecting "autofill" and a target source... OR drag and drop music from the iTunes library ("Music")
    Have you actually ever read the manual?
    It's available here:

  • How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

    The ipod dock on my Ilive  it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

    You can arrange online service here.

    If it's busted, you get a replacement.

  • HT203433 how do I get my ipod to recognize audiobooks as books and not music

    how do I get my ipod to recognize audiobooks as books and not music

    Well it was only one Slot Machine app that was working but that is not working either now.  I have to ask my son about the firewall port blocking, but I don't think so, or if it does that's not the problem as the iPod worked fine the first day and then it stopped all of a sudden.  Most of the apps I have on the phone are companions to the online game about farming and fighting and building towns.  The rest are slot machines. 
    Thanks for replying, appriciate any help.

    That is precisely what my mid-2010 MacBoook Pro 13 was doing before the drive finally died after an Apple Genius rebooted it a dozen or so times. I have since read about the exact same thing happening to others, including a writer for The Atlantic magazine who had never had an issue with a Mac before. Do a back-up ASAP to make sure you don't lose anything and see about replacing the HDD. It is only about $140 for a new drive. The real issue is if you lose your data, too. So, make sure you do that back-up!

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

  • How do I get my Photo Stream to sync with my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5 after it has stopped working?

    My photo stream has always synced just fine between my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5. However, just a month or so ago it stopped automatically syncing. I turned it off and on in the iPhone settings in two places, deleted all the photos manually, signed out of iCloud on my PC and even uninstalled iCloud on my PC. Now it appears to be partially working. If I add or delete photos from my Photo Stream on my iPhone, the changes are reflected on my PC. However, if I delete photos or add photos to my Photo Stream folder on my PC, the changes are not reflected on my iPhone. I can delete all the pictures out from my Photo Stream on my PC but they are all still there in my Photo Stream on my iPhone. How do I get the two devices to sync properly again?

    Hello snoopy016,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or

    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.
