I bought two songs off itunes and they wont sync onto my ipod touch but they did sync onto my ipod classic. I have tried all troubleshooting ideas to get the songs to sync on my ipod toch but nothing works. :(

I bought some songs off of itunes and the songs synced onto my ipod CLASSIC but they didnt sync into my ipod TOUCH. I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing my laptop, updating softwares but nothing works. Anyone know why this is happening?!?!?!

Hi,
The songs need to be in the playlist(s) that go onto the ipod touch.
Plug the ipod touch into the computer and go to the music section of it from the devices menu. From here make sure that the playlist(s) that go on to this ipod are the ones that have the new songs.
Once this is done, click sync/apply.
I hope this helps.

No Artist, No Album in iTunes, but they are always present on iPod?

Hello,
Can't seem to find the answer in the archives - would be grateful for any help.
I organise all content by Genre and optionally by Composer, that is all.
The Artist and Album content of the Info box is completely blank. I do not even have the Artist and Album columns displayed in iTunes.
However after sync'ing the iPod, the Artist and Album fields are always on the iPod even though the content is blank.
This means, every time I select a new Genre I have to do a double click-thru to get to actual content of the Genre (Artists -> All -> Click -> Albums -> All -> Click -> finally... I am there.
I wonder why iTunes insists on inserting the Artist and Album fields on the iPod, even though the content is completely blank? ..and the columns are not even displayed in iTunes?
The double click-thru every time I need to change a Genre is irritating and impedes use of the iPod.
If anyone has any clues I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Philip

Chris,
Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry to be so late following up - there is a reason. In the meantime I have been trying to research the documents in more detail..
The iPod cannot display the info unless it is in the ID3 tags.
It doesn't matter if the columns are displayed or not in iTunes.
The problem may be the other way around. My problem is that the iPod always displays Artists and Albums, even though the ID3 tags are completely empty and these classifications are irrelevant to the content of my iPod. This causes me to have click through these irrelevant fields every time I select a new Genre.. time wasting and very frustrating..
If you have no info in these boxes, iTunes will put them in Unknown Artist, Unknown Album.
That's exactly what's happening but I'd dearly like to have categorised folders. I'm beginning to realise that iTunes may use the Artist and Album tags as a means of creating subfolders. In one of the documents it says:
"As a music manager, iTunes creates a folder for each artist in the iTunes Music folder and subfolders of each artist's albums that contain the individual song files"
But surely they can't force the use Artist and Album tags where these classifications are completely irrelevant? Just one example of many: I have a self-made 90-minute recording called "Nightingales in the Luberon". Now exactly what Artist and what Album does that belong under? The only reasonable classification I can see is under my "Nature" Genre.
Same with my Classical Genre - none of those recordings have any "Artist" or "Album". They all have a Composer ID3 tag, but apparently that doesn't help me at all in organising them according to folders?
Why not simply go to Music -> Songs?
Well, I think that's pretty much what I've been to do, except I need more organisation, so instead of just Music -> Songs I have been trying to do Music -> Genres. The problem is the iPod insists on plugging in the Artist and Album fields, after the Genres.
Or create a playlist which contains only one genre, then Music -> Playlist?
You can go into iPod Settings -> *Main menu* and put these on the iPod main menu so you don't even have to go to Music then another selection.
Thank you for the ideas. But at the moment I already have Genres at the very top level menu. But after going into a specific Genre, selecting it, I still have to click through the (irrelevant) Artist and Album tags.
I think what I am really asking for is the ability to specify which metadata tags are used to organise content, and sub-folders on disk. So far I have not been able to find anything in the documents.
The top-level tag should be Genre, with in some cases, a sub-level tag of either Composer, Author, or Publisher, depending on the type of Genre. I would like iTunes to create named hierarchical folders for each of these tags.
I have so many disparate types of recording that I think the only sensible type of classification is by Genre, for example: Classical, Country&Western, Factual, French (audio tuition), Nature (my own recordings), Old Times, Relaxation (audio), Self-Improvement (audio).
I think that Apple does not help by making much of the documentation obscure and non-intuitive.. I was searching for documents about 'Organising the iTunes Library' - a big topic surely. But I could find nothing. In the end I found part of the answers I was looking for in a bizarrely named document called "Bring in the Noise". Now what on earth does that mean??
Thanks a lot for your help..

I've deleted podcasts from my iTunes, but they are still on my iPod

I wanted to delete podcasts from my iPod, so I unchecked the box while I was syncing. The podcasts were still on my iPod, so I deleted them from my iTunes completely. They are still on my iPod, and I can't figure out how to delete them. Help, please!!

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How you delete content from your iPod depends on whether you have it set up to sync manually or automatically with your iTunes library.
Either way, I would check out this Apple support document for help on how to delete content from your iPod. [Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1855]
If still no luck, you can always opt to restore the iPod. This will delete all the content from your iPod and set it back to its original default settings.

Please help-cant add apps from ipod can buy them but they dont install

i have a ipod touch, but i cant get apps on my ipod if i buy them on there, i can pay for them but it wont install them. If plug it in to the comp they will normally go on, but i used to be able to get them straight from the ipod??

I would try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next reset network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
- Next would be to restore the iPod. However, I would wait on that since maybe Apple is having a server problem.

I bought songs on iTunes but they dont show up on my library. Why?

What happens when you try to sync them? Error message?
Are you following the instructions here? Which method of syncing are you using?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Have you successfully synced music from that iTunes library before?

Can see Audiobooks in iTunes but they are not on the iPod

Things were fine but then I tried to download a few songs from Freegal and everything got wiped out--music and audiobooks. I can see them when I plug the iPod into the computer under my iPod file but it won't let me drag and drop the chapters into the ipod. What's my solution to get those audiobooks, at least, back into the iPod. They are OverDrive books by the way and they have already expired in OverDrive.

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive.

Hi I Havent Buy Any App From Itunes But They have Charge me Rs 50 4 Times

Hi I Havent Buy Any App From Itunes But They have Charge me Rs 50 4 Times

You've checked the purchase history on your account by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option - that should include a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it which you can click on to see a list of your purchases.
If nothing shows there and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days, though I believe that it's Rs 60, not 50) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

I have downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they no longer sync with my iPod touch. They play on the computer but won't sync

I downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they wont sync withe my itouch. It used to work but won't anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
I'll call apple in the morning.
