I see songs in my ipod in itunes but some disappear when I disconnect it.

I have over 1500 songs on my ipod. Recently I have noticed that although some songs I have already added are seen as if they were already in my ipod on iTunes, some songs can't be found when I try to find them in my ipod when it is not connected to my computer. I mean how come I can see 3 songs of
one artist on iTunes when I go to "David's ipod"s song list but only one when my ipod is not connected? it is crazy!
Note: Yes all the songs are under the same artists, no spelling mistakes.

Do they ALL have album names?

  • Why can't i see songs on my iPod in iTunes when connected

    I have several songs on my iPod touch that I'd like to delete, but when i plug it into my computer and open iTunes, the songs are not displayed as being on the iPod.  How do I make them visible to delete them?

    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.
    - Delete all music and resync. Note this is only for lter iOS versions
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Songs appear on iPod in iTunes, but after disconnected, pod is empty

    HELP HELP HELP
    I'm having a very strange issue. I copy songs from my iBook to my iPod, and they appear on the pod in iTunes, but when I disconnect the iPod, the pod says there are no songs on it.
    I've tried EVERYTHING!! I reformatted the iBook, restored the iPod, tried different USB port, set up a different user, etc...
    The strange thing is, when I use the iPod on my G4 Tower (exact same operating system as the iBook), the songs transfer fine. And when I use an older 3G iPod on the iBook, the songs transfer over fine. It's like the iPod and the iBook just don't get along!!

    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod touch has all of my music still on it.  Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

    My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod still has all of my music still on it. 
    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Is it possible to import songs from your ipod to itunes?

    Somehow, my itunes got screwed up on my pc. So, I am missing about 100 songs. The songs are all on my ipod because I haven't synced them in a while. Is it possible to import the songs from my ipod into itunes? If so, how do I do it?
    To make matters more complicated, my itunes now says that the ipod is synced to a different itunes, so if I sync them up, the songs on the ipod will be replaced by the songs on itunes (causing me to lose those 100 songs). Can anyone please help me?

    If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • Songs wiped from ipod and itunes, can i get them back?

    songs wiped from ipod and itunes, can i get them back?

    If they were imported from CDs, and you had no other backup of them on your system or another drive, you'll need to reimport them from CDs again.
    For music purchased from the iTunes, you can redownload each track at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more details.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • HT1920 The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists.  Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's.  Is there a way to access the itunes account?

    The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists.  Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's.  Is there a way to access the itunes account?

    Only downloads from iTunes will be tied to that iTunes account, unless you subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded the other songs from your computer to it. If you can't remember the account's password then you could try seeing if you can get reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If that doesn't work then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    When you've got access to the account you can update the primary email address on it to be one that you still have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
    If you don't have the music that wasn't downloaded from iTunes on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How do you (or can you) play songs from your ipod on itunes?

    Im trying to play my the songs on my iPod with itunes that I just installed on my friends laptop. The problem is, the place where it says Charles's (me) Laptop, the songs are all grayed out and I cant select any of them.

    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Check out the links below and make the change on your own computer before you connect it to the second one:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    Some additional info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • I have multiple itunes accounts and had to do a restore.  I can only see songs from one of the itunes accounts on my new iphone.

    My old iphone died on me so I had to purchase a new one.  A guy at the Apple store helped me with a restore via iCloud.  I have two itunes accounts, one for US and another for oversea itunes.  I only see songs I purchased in US itunes on my new iphone, which is my iCloud account ID as well.  How do I have the songs I purchased in another foreign itunes to also appear on my new phone? 

    Are those songs in the iTunes library on the computer the device is normally synced with?  If so, sync them to the device.
