Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using aac at 128kbps for a 4 minute song. Any variation of this will mean a difference in the number of songs you are able to store.
I would try restoring the iPod and reloading the songs.

  • HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer.  is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios?  I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

  • How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs ....

    Me and my mother just got iPods for christmas and hers was a U2 ipod and mine was a 30gb ipod. I have downloaded some songs and have imported some cds but my mother doesn't want those songs on her ipod. How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs don't go on mine.Do i need to create another itunes?

    The computer can tell the difference between your two iPods. When you first plugged each one in, you named them and the computer recognizes each one as a separate disk.
    Now, when you plug in your iPod, and you are looking in iTunes at your iPod contents, you will see four buttons in the bottom right corner of iTunes - the first one is to display iPod options. Click on this, and under the music tab, select "Automatically update selected playlists only". Then, you scroll through your playlists and select only those you want to be transferred to your iPod. Your mother can do the same thing. Now you can each make your own playlists from the same music library, and only those songs you want to go onto your iPod will transfer when you plug it in. You can make the same selections for all the other options too (video, podcats. photos, etc), so that you only have to have what you want on each iPod.
    I have two iPods, a new 5g video iPod and an ancient 1g iPod, and have no problems syncing each of them with different playlists and options.

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

  • In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

    i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

    It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
    I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
    Thanks for the help, King

  • Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from ITunes?

    Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from I Tunes?

    Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

  • When playing Ipod and a song ends,it will either freeze up or continue to the next song without updating on the screen

    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Transferring frrom iTunes to a new ipod and deleting songs on the old

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum. My Ipod nano is almost full, so I wish to delete the playlists/ songs on it and give it to another family member, but without deleting anything in iTunes. Them I want to transfer everything in my existing iTunes onto a new, bigger ipod. What's the workflow for doing that safely?
    Thanks.
    Nano   Windows XP  

    1 - Hand them them iPod and say, "Happy iPod to
    you!".
    2 - Plug in the new iPod, watch it load, unplug it
    and think, "Happy iPod to me" and use it.
    It really is that simple.
    Thanks.

  • IPod Touch and transfering songs and podcasts

    I just got the ipod touch yesterday and i went to put some songs on but it's different. You have to click the iPod and then select certain playlists. Is there anyway to just drag the song onto you ipod without having to make a playlist? And also I have a podcast that i want to download but i don't want all 151 of them so how do I put in just a couple? thanks.

    Try going into your iPod in iTunes and in the SUMMARY section click on MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC AND VIDEOS. It should then let you drag individual songs and podcasts etc to your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod mini transfering songs to vista

    My daughters computer hard drive failed. We were able to get alot of files from the hard drive except for songs downloaded from CD to itunes. Also all of her songs (both purchased from itunes and CDs are on her ipod.
    We bought a new vista computer.
    How can we get the CD songs to itunes from the ipod?
    Thanks

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Itunes seeing wrong capacity of ipod and no songs

    I have a 40gig Ipod and when i connect to my computer at work, which has itunes ver 7, it sees my ipod as having 110 gig capacity and is unable to see any songs. Does anyone have a solution? Many thanks

    I have a 40gig Ipod and when i connect to my computer at work, which has itunes ver 7, it sees my ipod as having 110 gig capacity and is unable to see any songs.
    with those symptoms, it's also worth checking on the possibility from the following troubleshooting document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Stolen Ipods and transfering library onto new one

    My ipod 30gb was stolen, I still have the library on my pc, I have bought the same model, before I instal it is there some way I can save the 250+ albums in my old library so that they can be transfered onto my new ipod.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Sorry to hear about your iPod being stolen. That's
    awful.
    Just hook up the new iPod and your iTunes library
    will sync to it.
    There's nothing special you need to do.
    Hi! I have a similar issue with a new ipod and an old library, but mu ipod is not automatically updating. Even when I click the "update Tiffany's ipod" option from itunes...it just doesn't update! My ipod remains totally empty even theough I'm looking at my library on the computer screen.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to fix: Music corrupts when transferred to ipod. This happens with the same songs on multiple ipods and the song plays regularly in itunes...

    Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Hello there klundie,
    I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
    You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    To convert a song's file format:
    Open iTunes Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
    From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
    Create MP3 version
    Create AAC version
    Create AIFF version
    Create WAV version
    Create Apple Lossless version
    If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
    The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Older model iPod mini transfers songs really slow

    I connected an older edition of the mini to my pc and it gave an error that said that it could not be written on or read by the computer. afterwards the songs on the ipod were lost. it did not ask me to format or anything. after this i actually did run a restore and tried to load new songs on it only to find that the songs are transferred at an extremely slow rate. Like 1 every 30-40 seconds. I formatted it again to no avail. and the software is up to date.
