How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

If the item is in your iTunes library then it is already saved.
With the iPod plugged in then select the items that you want to sync to the iPod. You can sync your entire library to the iPod - space permitting - or just selected content.

I recently download a song with my IPOD Touch 4G. The song appears in my iTunes music library but not on my IPOD. I've tried syncing several times, but I cannot get it to transfer to the IPOD. Any suggestions??

Use 3rd party software like:

Artwork in Itunes music library but not on my Ipod

Only got my Ipod at the weekend so don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I've enabled the option for album artwork and click on get artwork for each album I have transferred into my library. The artwork appears in my library but on my Ipod many of the albums that have the artwork in the library aren't appearing on my Ipod.
Anyone know why this is?

It is possible that you have not selected the option to have your iPod show album artwork. Here is how to check:
Plug your iPod into your computer
Click on you iPod when it appears under DEVICES on the left of the iTunes screen
Your iPod should appear on the screen under a tab named Summary. Click on the tab titled Music
There is a check box on the very bottom of the list on the Music tab called "Display album artwork on your iPod" If this is not checked, then check it.
Then click Apply in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Sync, also in the lower right of the screen
This should fix the problem and upload the album artwork onto your iPod

Songs in my library but not on my ipod?

I've 2,600 songs in my itunes library but only 2,100 or so on my ipod. I've updated the ipod and can actually work out what many of the missing songs are. They were all uploaded from cd to the library and play ok from the library.
I've tried the search function on here which led me to use the 'file' 'get info' option. The songs appear to be in the itunes library ok.
Any thoughts please?

Thanks for the suggestion. The ipod's not full, songs loaded from cd or bought from itunes after the ones which aren't playing are fine.
Both the songs which are fine and the ones sitting in the librarry all seem to be AAC Audio files..this means nothing to me I'm afraid.
Any other thoughts?

How do i save photos in iphoto but not in photo stream

When I take photos with my iphone, it saves a random number to the photo stream. For instance, if I take 5 photos, they all go to the photo stream on my iphone, but on my Mini, one might appear, or more, it is seemingly random. I want to save them all to my hard drive on my Mac mini. Deleting them from photo stream deletes them permanently, from everywhere. Sometimes it saves the random number to an event in iphoto, sometimes not. When it does this, deleting them from the photo stream may or may not delete them from the event. Again, it appears random. I want to save photos, and have access to them, without keeping everything in photo stream. How do I do this?
The problem is that saving seems to be completely random. I have vacation photos that I don't want to lose.

They should all be in the Photo Stream. Sometimes it taks a while for the PS to refresh itself. In your iPhoto library set the Photo Stream preferences to
This will automatically import any photo added to the Photo Stream into your iPhoto Library.
If waiting for a while for the PS to refresh itse'f doesn't show all of the photos taken the try the following:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
Rebooting your iPhone can also help.

How do I delete songs from library but not my ipod

Hi,
Can anyone help me.
I want to delete songs that in my library to increase the memory on my pc, but if I de-select them, they will be deleted from my ipod.
I want to keep all the songs in my ipod but add to them later, how do i do this.
also, i may wish to delete songs later, but again how do i do this if i have deleted my library.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Set iPod to manual update.
But be warned, if something happens to your iPod later, you may risk losing your songs. Better backup your songs first before deleting them from the computer.

I purchased the following items and I can see them in my iTunes library but not on my iPod (Total Confidence HD, v2.0, Seller: Darren Marks|287310150 (4 ) and Confidence Now, v1.0, Seller: Tommy Connolly (4 ) )

I purchased the following from itune and they show in my library (on my computer) under Apps but don't show up in my iPod
1) Total Confidence HD, V2.0
2) Confidence Now, V1.0
Does any one know how to sync the Apps from my iTune library to my iPod?
PS. I have an iPod Classic

Hello amir,
Sorry, but Apps purchased from the App store are not compatible with your iPod classic. Apps are only compatible with an iPod Touch, iPhone, and/or iPad.

My pc crashed. I got it back up and running but my itunes music library is gone. I have the music on my ipod but am afraid to sync new music in case it deletes all my music off my ipod. How do I get the music back onto my library but not delete of ipod?

My pc had crashed several months ago. I got it back up and running, however my itunes library with all the songs I purchased is gone. I still have all songs on my ipod. If I purchase new music from itunes and have it synced to my ipod will I lose all the music on my ipod? Also is there a way that itunes can reinstall my music to my library?

My songs show up in the iTunes library but not on my iPod

I had my songs on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation for and I plugged it in over night. The next day I went to my music on my iPod and it said "No content available. Download songs from iTunes" I went to iTunes on my Dell computer and they are all there. I got most songs back except for ones I recently purchased.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Purchased song that went into my lbrary but not to my ipod

Purchased song that went into my library but not into my ipod shuffle

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

Good day to you and thanks for this prompt response. Are you referring to a music app on an iphone? I have problems with an ipod.
Hope I'm not showing off my ignorance here.

How do I save my iTunes library from my windows pc to my iCloud account?

You can't. iCloud does not apply to music. You will need to subscribe to iTunes Match to get music into the cloud but note that this is not a back up service.
