How do i update selected songs on my ipod?

This is a little hard to phrase, but anyways, so my ipod has limited space and therefore i only have selected songs (manually manage). But sometimes i update the song information on itunes (such as lyrics) but then when i connect my ipod those songs do not sync and get the new information.
i dont want to delete everything and sync my ipod again cause of my old songs didnt get transfered to the new itunes library.
so how would i update songs?

All you do is go into iTunes, click file 'add folder to library' and find the folder where all you're downloaded songs go to.
Not that hard to figure out..

    how do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

    Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
    To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
    Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
    Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes.

  • How do I delete a song from my ipod?

    how do I delete a song from my ipod?

    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I get the songs on my ipod to a new installation of ITunes

    I keep Itunes on my corporate PC and I just received a new PC after the old one crashed. I installed ITunes and connected my IPod Nano and was saw a window that indicated my Ipod was linked to a different library and I would like to change. It would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes. How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    Thanks!

    t would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes.
    \Correct.
    It is in sync with your previous computer.
    How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    The correct answer to your question is to plug in the iPod and select yes.
    It will sync your iPod with your new library which contains nothing.
    Sync between iPod and iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
    The question you really want to ask is, “how do I get the songs off my iPod onto my computer?”
    Go to www.yamipod.com.
    This will allow you to get everything of the iPod and into iTunes.

  • How do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    how do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    Fix the library, then syncing should fix the device.

  • How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    You need to use an App like Ringtone Maker or Ringtone Wizard Pro for that.
    Or, what I do is to make my own ringtones with music I have in my computer and then sync them to my iPhone following this steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    Click the "Options" tab.
    Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    Click "OK."
    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Hope this was helpful

  • How do I update Album artwork onto my ipod.....

    How do I update Album artwork onto my ipod after i have found the artwork and added it to my itunes?
    i tried to just plug in my ipod and sync. it but that didnt work.

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4th generation

    How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4tg generation? I didn,t get any instuctions with mine.

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    In order to remove songs from an iPod you must plug it into the computer it was originally synchronizing with and de-select the songs you no longer wish to have on the iPod. If you no longer have access to that computer then I would plug it into your current computer and restore the iPod. This will remove all the songs from the device but you will be able to just move the songs you wish to store on the device back over.

    How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.

    You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device.  To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch.  So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.
