HT204406 more songs in icloud than on my mac

I do have 50 more songs in icloud than on my mac. How can I find out which one?

This might mean that there are songs that you purchases and downloaded from iTunes, then deleted from your Mac.
Try this:
View --> Show Music Not On This Computer
Look for songs that are grayed out - those are songs that you purchased via iTunes but subsequently deleted from your computer.
Good luck!

More songs on computer than ipod

I just synched my ipod classic with itunes, and although the new songs came over, there are more on my computer than on my ipod. Everything I have done so far is from my personal CD library, all legal. I have 5077 songs on the ipod but 5108 in itunes on the computer.
How can I determine what is missing on the ipod?

Hey there,
Have you made sure all the songs are checked in iTunes? To make sure they are, press Ctrl and then click on one of the boxes next to the songs. This might and probably remove them all, so just repeat the process to have them all checked.
After that, resync your iPod to iTunes. While it it syncing make sure to check if any errors coming up about certain songs not being able to copy over. If there are more than one, it will provide the entire list. Just click the plus mark in the bottom corner of the dialog box that came up. Hope this helps. Let me know.

HT204406 Downloading songs from Icloud

Hi,
Trying to transfer purchases from Icloud onto my computor to then transfer onto my Ipod but am having trouble with a few songs. They worked on my old Iphone 4s but now in Icloud 3 songs just skip straight away and another one plays for 2 seconds and then skips as well. Not sure what to do here??

There is no guarantee that any song will always be available for download.
This is one of the many reasons that it is so important to keep everything on your computer and always keep a backup copy of your computer.
If you believe that there is an error, then contact iTunes support.

More songs on ipod than in iTunes library?

I'm sure this has been answered before but having searched the forum I cannot find an answer.
Is there an easy way of establishing the extra tracks?
Thanks

I always kept my entire library on my iPod but recently swapped computers. I still don't understand why the iPod should have more tracks though!?!
Can anyone explain?

More songs on phone than computer

Hello,
I have about 500 songs on my iPhone that aren't on my computer. If I activate iTunes Match, will this allow me to upload the extra songs from my phone to the Cloud so I can listen to them on my other devices? Or will iTunes match replace the content on my phone with the songs stored from my computer only? I don't want to lose these songs!
Thank you.

iTunes Match does not scan the music library on an iOS device. Those songs will be removed from the device when iTM is enabled.

My iphone has more songs and playlists than my computer, why aren't they the same

Why won't all songs and playlists from iphone sync with computer?

Charles,
I get a message that i have purchased songs on my iPhone that I should transfer to my playlist before I upgrade the software. Do you know how to do this?

How to have more songs on iPod than on laptop?

My iBook has 27GB, my iPod 40GB. I want to keep basically all music on the iPod and as little as possible on the laptop. E.g., import my CD's into Itunes, dump into iPod, and delete from iTunes thereafter. How can I do this?
I selected "manually manage music" in the summary tab for the iPod, but that just made it crash, and when I deleted files from Itunes, it still deleted them from the iPod. How does one, in fact, manually manage music on this thing? Oh, it's a white ipod 40GB, bout 2 years old.

Manually manage is want you want. Sync selected playlist mode might work also.
What crashed, iTunes, computer, or iPod?

Are Intel based Macs more prone to Viruses than PPC based Macs?

I do not now, nor have I ever run A-V software. Nor have I ever had an issue with any kind of viruses, malware, spyware etc. However, I read an article in our local newspaper recently that even Macs, particularly Intel based Macs, are vulnerable to viruses. So, as a newcomer to the world of Intel Macs, the question suddenly takes on new significance and urgency. I do plan to run Windows on my MBP (as soon as I get the computer and set it up), and will likely use an emulator like VirtualBox. I have run VPC on my Pismo for years, and viruses have never been an issue, albeit I used Windows only for short periods at a time. So, is this a legitimate concern? What specific measures do I need to take, if it is, indeed, a concern?

As TD states, your Windows installation running as a virtual machine is as vulnerable as any Windows PC. If you won't be accessing email, and limit your web browsing, you'll be somewhat safer - but, I'd definitely recommend running AV software even so. There is quite a bit of malware/spyware that will install itself upon visiting some websites, and it can be easier than you think to run into one of those sites (for example, accidentally leaving out a 'p' when typing apple.com into a browser address bar redirects you to another site - 2sale.com; that one seems innocuous, but that's not always the case).
Note that VMware comes with a free 12-month subscription to McAfee VirusScan® Plus, so for the time being there's no need to purchase additional AV software, just make sure you keep McAfee running and up to date.
On the up side, if your virtual machine does become infected, the problems will remain confined to the virtual machine. Should you need to, you can roll back to a previous snapshot, or, if you set it up as a virtual disk virtual machine (i.e. VWware is not accessing a Boot Camp partition, but rather the virtual machine is stored as a file in the Mac OS), then the virtual machine is backed up along with your other files as part of your routine backup strategy.

Recently purchased new Mac Book Pro. Synced iPod touch with it for first time, only purchased songs transferred, non purchased were erased. iPod was backed up to iCloud. Is there a way to see songs in iCloud and download to Mac Book?

Help with iTunes

Purchases cannot be transferred to a new Apple ID.
You can stop receiving their info by signing out of iCloud.

ITunes Match indicates more songs than Library

Updating iTunes Match says "2821 songs are now available in iCloud", however, my library says 2820. This occurs w/ 3 separate computers (Win7 desktop and laptop, and a MacBook Air running OS X Lion) all synced to the same iTunes Match account. I know it's only a variance of 1 track, but has anyone else run into something similar? Any way to manage just the music in iCloud?

iTunes Match if only matched with a single library can only contain upto the number of Songs in that single library - clearly if it has access to more than one library it is soon going to contain more Songs than any individual library.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space? Thanks

I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. Will unclick some songs but one at a time is taking forever. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space needed on iPod? Thanks

Why not try syncing a smart playlist that updates automatically every time you sync your iPod?
Try something like this:
1. Pull down File > New Smart Playlist;
2. Playlist IS Music; click the plus button;
3. Last Played IS NOT in the last 90 days;
4. Select the option to Limit to xxx items selected by Random and click OK.
Name the playlist that is created something distinctive then sync you iPod with that. It will automatically update based on the last played dates of a tune and you'll always have fresh content on your iPod. Modify the playlist as needed to make it give you the results you want.
Regards,
Michael

I haven't been on itunes in a very long time. I had a lot more songs than are there now. What can I do about it, or is there a way to access the missing songs?

I haven't been on itunes in a very long time. I had a lot more songs than there are listed there now. What can I do about it, or is there something I can do to get the missing songs back?

forget about it, I actually figured it out.

My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold.

My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold. What is the best way for me to choose what actually goes on the ipod?

Or, when you are synching choose the songs you want on the IPod by checking them in the library, then tell it to only synch checked items.
To be honest, the 'smart playlist' is probably a simpler way though. Go to playlists, click 'create new smart playlist' and choose your parameters from there. As you add new music to the library the playlist will update itself.

My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?

It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well
