HT1420 how come only certain songs are authorized on my computer but it wont allow me to authroize others?

some of the songs on my itunes libarary are saying they are "unorthized" therefore I cant play them, it tells me that I can only authorize five computers but when i try to find and delete other devices that are authroized it says that my computer is the only one.

You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

HT1420 How to view which computers are authorized in iTunes store?

How do I check the iTunes store to see which of my computers are authorized? I have just sold one of my computers and forgot to deauthorize it. Actually, I am not sure it was even authorized. Before I contact the buyer and ask if they will meet so I can deauth, how can I check the iTunes store to confirm that it is or is not authorized?

You can't yourself; you can only check the number of authorized computers and deduct the number of machines you know are authorized.

HT1420 How to see what computers are authorized in iTunes

How do you see what computers are authorized on your itunes account. It says I have 5 and cannot add 1.

There is no list available from your end. If you can't individually deauthorize any of them, use the Deauthorize All function.

I updated to iOS 5.0 and now only certain songs are playing on my iPod

I have a few songs on my iPod that aren't playing, you touch the song, and then the iPod freezes and crashes and will bring you to one of 3 places: the lock screen (slide to unlock), back to my playlists menu, or to my first page of Apps. It just started happening with the iOS 5 update. At first I figured, "probably some corruption while updating, no biggie I'll just restore." (note that all of my songs work on my MacBook Pro), but after restoring and then checking a song that I knew for sure wasn't working before it still isn't working.
Notes: It won't work in any of my playlists OR in the preset, "songs", "artists", "albums", etc. lists.

Firefox 4 was bad but Firefox 5 is awful !!
It's slow to start, hangs, everything seems to take forever to do and i've never had so many page errors ... which i think is due to the time it takes to get things to load.
Firefox 3 was great, why have we been landed with this millstone around our ankles ??
I have another laptop still running the old FF and it's positively rapid compared to FF5.
If things dont improve SOON i'll be going elsewhere for a browser. Just can't be doing with this, just makes everything so slow and unstable.
Come on Mozilla - get it sorted !!

How to view which accounts are authorized on a computer

My question is not how to authorize or deauthorize my account on a computer. My question is how to find out which account(s) you have authorized on one specific computer.
I share my iTunes Library with my family so we have had six or eight iTunes accounts over the years. We are moving to a new computer and we can't remember which accounts are authorized for our music library.
If we could find out the usernames, we would know the passwords. Any way to see which accounts you have authorized on a computer?

It's simply there because you may either de-authorized it or all computers from that computer. It is not an indication that the computer is not de-authorized if, in fact, you have de-authorized it.

I know the songs are still on my Ipod, but they wont appear.

i know that i have my songs loaded on my ipod, because there is only 8 gigs left out of 19 some-odd gigs, but none of the playlists nor the songs show up on the ipod or itunes. my photos are still on, ive installed the ipod updater and new version of itunes, but the songs still wont appear. i dont want to have to delete everything off my ipod because i have songs from other computers on my ipod that i wouldnt be able to get back. any suggestions on what to do?
ps. ive tried this on both a mac and pc. the problem occurred after i loaded my ipod onto a mac, it would play the songs off the ipod, but when i dissconnected the ipod none of the songs appeared.
using both mac and pc Mac OS X (10.4.1)

You can try to restore your iPod... But before you do that you should get a 3rd party program like Yamipod to copy everything off of your iPod onto your computer so you wont have to worry about losing music/videos again!

Only certain songs are uploading to my phone

When I sync my phone to my iTunes, only a portion of my library is showing up on the iPod.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't really work.
Once I unselect any tracks in the "smart playlist" they also unselect in my the "main" itunes. Which means when I go to listen to these tracks on my Mac, they won't play in the "main" itunes automatically without manually clicking on each one of them (those that have been unselected) and obviously vice versa for listening to music on the "smart playlist".
Does that make any sense?
I feel that I don't have full control over how I'm interacting with my music. It would seem, to do this, I need a seperate player for listening to music on my Mac, and itunes for syncing music back and forth on my iphone.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I select only certain songs from itunes library to upload to my iphone?

Trying to free up some memory and my whole itunes library is loaded on my phone. Is there a way to select only certain songs to sync with my phone?

When your iphone is connected to iTunes, go to the phone section, go to options and then select "Sync only checked songs and videos". Then go to yotur iTunes music library, and check only the songs you want. If you are viewing the library in the "songs" option the check boxes are next to the songs. If you are viewing from the "album" view, you have to right-click each song and select check.

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library. Ipad and old nano sync fine. How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

**1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
iTunes:
Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
**2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
*3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
Connect old nano to computer.
Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions.
