HT1351 Only want to see sync songs/artists/albums on iPod touch (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it?

I only want to see on iPod touch songs/artists/albums manually selected for sync (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it? Not sync titles appear in grey colour...

So if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to sync only certain songs, artists, and albums correct? If so you can configure this set up from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes as described in the Syncing Automatically section in the Apple support document you linked in at the top of the page. Note that you cannot select only certain songs, but you can set it up to sync selected Artists, Genres, and Albums.
If the tab and its configurations are grayed out, it is likely because your iPod is set up for manual management, meaning the manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

Is their a way of transfering certain songs, not the whole library?

i've created a new playlist on my itunes comp because other people in the house already have their own playlists for their own ipods. how do i tranfer just the songs i want and not the whole library? cheers

At the very bottom of the link posted above, there is a short sentence that indicates you can transfer 'Selected Playlists'.
With the iPod attached and seen within iTunes, go to Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab and select the updating method to be playlists.
This will allow you to choose which playlist(s) you want to auto-sync with your iPod.
This is one of the easiest ways to have two or more iPods syncing with iTunes and containing different music.

I want all of my music in the main library of iTunes, how do I do this?

Select the Music source, switch to Songs view, press CTRL+A to select all files, right-click, click on Consolidate Files. Any files that were stored outside the iTunes Media folder will be copied into it. You need to manually delete the originals. Or use my script ConsolidateByMoving to move files into the media folder without leaving duplicates behind.

I ONLY want my music to transfer to my new iPod touch

I just bought an iPod touch 5 gen and I have my iPod touch 4 gen backed up to iCloud. I only want to transfer my music to my new iPod. I don't want my apps pictures etc transferred, how do i do this? I also didn't buy my music, so does that matter?

iCloud backup only include iTunes purchases.
Also. the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included any synced media like apps and music.
The only way is to sync non-iTunes purchased music from your iTunes library.

How do I transfer songs from my old ipod touch to the new ipod nano?

I just got the new Ipod nano and I want to get the music i already have to transfer from my old ipod touch to the new nano, how can I do this?

If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

I have tried importing / exporting my playlist from itunes; dragging songs from itunes to my ipod icon in the right corner; nothing is working. I want to put songs back on my ipod touch version 6.1.5 from itunes version 11.1.3.8; any one have any ideas

This is very fustrating I have tried a few different things I have seen on-line and nothing is working. My itunes is version 11.1.3.8 and my ipod touch is ios version 6.1.5. Since last Christmas I have a playlist called Christmas songs and I would like to move the songs back onto my ipod. Before I could drag the songs from under the songs list over to the right and a list including my ipod would show. It still does but when I do it now the songs do not show up in my ipod. I would appreciate any ideas to get this to work again.

Verify you have the right boxex checked to sync
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have duplicate songs displaying on my Ipod but not in my library.

I have an Ipod Touch, Itunes 10.5.33. I have duplicate songs showing up on my Touch, however, there are no duplicate songs in my library on my pc. as best as I can tell at this point, these duplicate songs on my Touch are purchased songs and I have only purchased them once. any ideas as to how to get rid of the duplicate entries on my Ipod?

I had this problem too. You just have to plug in your iPod to your computer. On the summary, there is a box that says "Manually manage music and videos". Uncheck that box. You now can add and remove music to your iPod without iTunes forcing anything. This also means that checks next to songs in your iTunes Library mean nothying while you are in that mode for that device (if this pressures you, you can re-check that box later). ANYWAY! So once you uncheck that box and click "Apply" in the lower right corner, you then open the drop down menu on your iPod's name on the sidebar and click music. This is a list of all of the music on your device. You now simply delete all of the doubles (this won't delete the songs from your iTunes Library. Your iPod will sync every time you delete a song. Once completed and you see no doubles on the list, you have the option to re-check the box with the automatic downloads (if you want) and your doubles will be GONE GONE GONE!
Thank you for choosing Apple.

Downloaded songs show on two ipods but not the third in home share

I've downloaded a song and it shows up on two devices, but not on the third. Does anyone know why this might happen and how to move it to the third device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing that comes to mind, is that on the third device, you do not have the option at settings> music> automatic downloads checked.

None of them worked. Im wondering if its my IPod touch. Can someone please help me? I have been looking for a solution but still no luck :(

Looks like a hardware failure, you'll have to get it serviced by visiting an Apple Store or by contacting Apple:

Help: songs skip on my iPod touch 2

First, I'm sure it's just the problem of the iPod touch, not the audio files, because they all play normally not only on the iTunes software, but also on my iPod nano 3 as well.
So here's the exact problem:
For all my audio files compressed by Nero AAC codec, the last few seconds, bar none, will be skipped when played on my iPod touch 2.
However, there seems to be a fixed pattern for such skipping: if the song's length is 1 minute, the last 1 second will be skipped; if it's a 2-minute-long song, then the last 2 seconds will be skipped, then you can do the math yourself.
I'm not sure about the exact seconds, but that's the way it works.
Since most songs will leave a few seconds of "space" in the end, such skips are usually harmless. But for a continuouse work that's divided into several tracks, or some concert work that weighs as much as 20~30 minutes (which means the last 20~30 seconds will be omitted), your enjoyment can be severely impaired.
Here's something else worth mentioning: all the mp3 files compressed by lame or iTunes, and AAC songs bought from iTunes Store have no such problem on my iPod touch, which only affects AAC files encoded by Nero AAC codec, CBR & VBR alike.
My iPod touch's software version is 2.2.1 (they don't fix the problem since 2.1, when I bought the iPod)
Is there a way to fix the problem, or at least, will somebody tell me that I'm not alone on this?
Thank you!

Have you tried converting them using iTunes itself? If you want to keep them as AAC files, first, open iTunes Preferences and then open Import Options. Select AAC from the drop down menu and select OK. Then, select the tracks you want to convert, right click and select "convert to AAC". Once they've converted, delete the original files then sync the new tracks to your iPod. If the skipping continues, maybe do what I said above but convert them to MP3 instead.
Hopefully it's just an encoding issue, and that re-encoding will solve it.

How to transfer SELECTED songs from macbook pro to iPhone 4 without synchronizing the whole library ?

Is there a way to only show some music from itunes match? my wife doesnt want to see every song we have, only the ones she likes

Is there a way to hide songs/albumbs in itunes match only on certain devices?
for example, I have a huge collection of songs, and my wife only wants to see 'her stuff' on her iphone.
or am i going to have to create another account just for her, and either rebuy or manualy store the songs on her phone?

Hi
You can only use one Apple id for your iTunes match.
At present there is no way to hide selected songs.
Whilst all the music will show on you wife's iphone, she could create playlist(s) on your computer to include only her songs.
