I had to switch my Ipod to an older model and now it won't load all my ITunes songs. Any advice?

I had to switch to an older Ipod (4th generation nano) since my current IPod was stolen. When I connected to ITunes some of my currently purchased songs are not downloading into the older IPod. ITunes is recognizing the older IPod, but not transferring all songs. Any advice?

Try these steps listed below.
1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
2. Start up iTunes
3. Next, connect your iPod.
4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.

  • Disappointed with IOS7, i had organized my music library as per the Genre and now im unable to hear all the songs of the same genre like in the earlier versions. The options of "all albums" and "all songs" are missing in this version of IOS. Help Please..

    It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
    Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
    the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
    Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
    Then you just select the Genre you want:
    If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
    >Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

    Why will it not let you add them?  What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
    Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer.  There is no reason to add or import anything.

  • I had an automatic update and now photoshop won't load

    Try to uninstall the update, and/or do a system restore to the point in time when everything worked.

  • I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    When you share an iCloud account, any data you sync with the account is merged, and any actions you take on one device (such as deleteing contacts) is synced to all other devices sharing the account.  To avoid this, each person's device(s) should have a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  (You can continue to share your iTunes account; it does not need to have the same ID as the one used for iCloud.)
    To create separate icloud accounts, decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    As for recovering the deleted contacts, you can try restoring her phone from her most recent backup.  This may recover the contacts, however it often doesn't.  Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If she have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that she wants to save she will need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • I had to restore my ipod touch 4g last night, and now my music interace is different. Can I change it back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch 4g last night. After I got it restored, I noticed two things: I now have an app called "passport" and my music interface looks different. It's not drastically different, but I'm not happy with how it looks at all. Is there a way to change it back?

    Your device was updated to iOS6. You will notice many changes. If you like, you can restore it back to iOS 5.1.1.

  • I got my ipod wet, dried it out, and now it won't turn on.

    I didn't get it totally wet, but water seeped into the buttons, and if you held the home button or the lock button long enough water would come out. I dried it out for several days, but now it won't turn on or open itunes when I plug it in. It also had a low battery when I got it wet so now it has no charge. Is there any way to fix this without paying any money?

    Your best bet is to return your iPod to Apple if it's under guarantee. I for one don't believe in guarantee since it's an utter waste, but there's still a chance that they might exchange it for a new one mate. If it's not covered then you've got to pay in order to get it fixed, I'm afraid. :/

  • My iPod suddenly stopped reacting to my charge and the battery icon doesn't come up but it still charges and now it won't connect to my iTunes on my computer, help?!

    I brought an iPod off eBay, second hand a few weeks ago. The first week I had it everything was working fine. Then suddenly when I plugged it in to charge the battery logo didn't appear, so I left it overnight and it still charged but there was still no logo. And now when I plug it in to connect to my iTunes on my computer, it isn't showing up on the left hand side where it should. I have tried restoring the iPod twice and using different cables and no change was made, what should I do?

  • My iPod touch screen got wet and now it won't register any touch.

    I had just gotten out of the ocean and when I went to check my texts, my hair dripped a bunch of water onto my iPod's screen. I wiped it off, but when I tried to scroll through my inbox it didn't register. I was able to get it to turn off, but it took a while to get it to register.

    Place the iPod in a sealed container of uncooked rice for five days or so to dry the iPod. Then try resetting and restoring the iPod.
    One concern is that even if it works for awhile the salt water may cause corrosion of interns and cause the iPod to not work later.

  • Reset ipod back to factory yesterday and now it won't turn on

    I rest ipod touch back to factory yesterday and now it doesn't come on at all

    First thing to try is a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Next would be the troubleshooting in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • I can plug my ipod touch into my computer and it isnt recognized by my computer or itunes. Any help?

    My computer nor my Itunes doesn't recognize my Ipod touch when I plug it in. I have already tried restarting my Ipod and uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes but it hasn't worked. Help please???!?!?!?

    Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Try another cable
    Does it charge?
    Next try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable problem or a computer problem

  • Ipod 160gb cannot ever load all the itunes songs, only 50gb

    ok i have never been able to get the itunes to sync all my songs. i have 9899 songs and all i can ever get to load is 7250, i have the box marked all songs checked and not matter what i cant get all the songs loaded, any ideas?

    I have the same problem but I discovered that Ipod does not duplicate whenever possible. So if two playlists contain exactly the same song, the Ipod will use the one song for both playlists. That why the ipod number is far less than the library number. I was wondering if there were a way to disconnect that feature.

  • I had to send my iphone 4 away for repair and now I cant connect it to my itunes on the computer. Can anyone help please?

    I'm having problems connecting my iphone to itunes. I have the Itunes on my computer but it wont register my phone is connected... Can anyone help please? xx

    If your music was purchased within iTunes, then you should be able to get your purchases restored. If it was music you imported, then you must re-import the CD's. So sorry that you lost it all. Most people never back up their data.... even when they talk the talk but never walk the walk. 3 copies, and rotate them. son, father, and grandfather (Old school stuff but if you have a bad disc, the other saves may be your rescue!)
    Good luck...
