  • How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?

    Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks

    iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
    I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

  • Was the Smart Playlist podcast order bug on iPod nano fixed in iTunes 11

    iTunes 9 broke the order in which Smart Playlists play podcasts in on the Nano.  See "Smart Playlist order not respected on ipod nano after upgrade to iTunes 9" (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2154509).  Has this been fixed in iTunes 11?

  • Smart Playlist Song Order Problem on iPod Nano 6th G

    recently i got an iPod Nano 6th G after years of using my iPod Classic 5.5G, and so far it has been a bliss actually if it wasnt for one small thing
    i have a somewhat large collection of music that i have - with a few exceptions - put in one big smart playlist with the rules provided in the pic to fit my needs
    on my old iPod Classic when i sync it i find it in the ipod in the same ordered that shows on my iTunes, but with my iPod Nano that is no longer the case.... even the the same playlist in my iPod have the songs in the exact order as it is in my library on iTunes, once i unblug it the play list on iPod becomes arranged alphabetically by artist and obviousely that is my problem
    so if anyone could guid me to correct it or even the cause of it i'ld be very thankful

    Can someone point me to a forum somewhere where I can get help with this? I'm obviously posting to the wrong place. Thanks!

    Hello yogawithlezie,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    You will need to first move your music from your iPod to your computer and then sync to the new iPod.

  • HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

    When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message advising some songs could not be found. Why is this, when the songs are in my playlist.

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • How can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    how can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

  • Is it possible to download just one playlist onto my husbands new ipod nano

    Is it possible to download just one playlist onto my husbands new ipod nano (16gb) from my Macbook pro version 10.6.8.  and is so how?

    Hello sylviafromkendal,
    With an iPod, you are able to sync music from multiple iTunes libraries to the device.  If the iPod is configured to manually manage the content, then please follow the directions in the first article below.  If that is not the case, then you will need to enable the manually manage music and videos option is turned on.

  • Can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod nano without a laptop?

    I do not seem to be able to transfer music between Apple products. Both my iPad and my iPod nano have a lightening fitting but there do not seem to be any lightening to lightening cables around in order to transfer from my iPad to my iPod? I'm downloading music to my iPad from iTunes, yet I am unable to put these on my iPod which, as a dance teacher, is extremely frustrating. I've tried switching on the Bluetooth on both products to see if this works and it does not. I do not currently have a laptop, so please can someone advise as to whether I can actually share the music that I've paid for between my devices? I really hope so.

    You cannot transfer music directly between your iPad and iPod nano.
    To do what you want you need a computer.
    When you have one, sync both devices to the same iTunes running on that computer. This will also backup both your devices which you should do regularly anyway.
