IPod has songs that wont go away!!

Hello there, my white ipod touch 4g 32gb has several songs that wont go away, even when synced with a different playlist.
also the iPod had greyed out songs in its library and duplicated songs.
PLEASE HELP!

If you relaunch the finder the phantom iPod folder should disappear.
You can do this by holding down the option key and right-clicking the finder icon in the dock, or by ctrl-option left-clicking the finder icon in the dock, and selecting "Relaunch" from the pop-up menu.

My ipod has songs that are not on my desktop

I have 4,000+ songs on my iPod. They were on my desktop. When I connect my iPod to my desktop, only 200 or so songs show up on my desktop iTunes. The only option I'm given is to erase the contents on my iPod and sync it with my desktop. I don't want to do that because I'll lose all of that data. How can I get the songs on my device to transfer/sync to my desktop?

To copy your iPod songs from iPod back yo PC you need 3rd party software.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

I have a classic iPod with songs that were put on it from a different computer. If I plug it up to my computer, will it keep the songs that were originally on it from the previous computer AND allow me to put new songs on it from my computer?

No. Your iPod is designed to sync with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, the contents currently on the iPod will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. So you'll want to copy what is currently on the iPod over to your new iTunes library first before syncing it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

When i plug in my ipod to itunes it shows an advertsment that wont go away

i plug in my ipod touch into the computer and when i click on MY IPOD it show an advertisment for an iphone application. when i click NOT NOW the advertisement wont go away. it stays on itunes not allowing me to sync or do anything on itunes with it. this is not a problem on my ipad 2 but just the ipod touch 3rd gen. please help.
P.S. no i cannot restore it because i wl loose all of my songs since they are not in my itunes library yet.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Itunes has songs that won't sync with my Ipod??

As of recently and for no reason, when I plug my Ipod into the computer it won't sync up songs anymore. Although here is the odd thing: I recently purchased 4 albums, they have stayed on my recently purchased area of my Ipod, yet all of the other songs I have purchased prior to that are not coming up on my Ipod yet they are on my Itunes.....What do I do??? I have like 300 songs that I would like to listen too, especially since I paid for them THANK YOU!

Correct.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Sometimes I find songs I didn't download on my ipod, or songs that I did download are replaced with different music

OK, so I've noticed sometimes when I sync my iPod with iTunes, that sometimes I'll have my iPod on shuffle and I'll end up with either:
A) Songs that I KNOW I didn't download, for example today there was a song titled "Marvins Room" a la the song by Drake, but what was playing wasn't even remotely close to Marvin's Room, and it had some cheap looking album art on it, that I KNOW I did not download.
OR
B) Songs that I DID purchase and/or download and I KNOW were the correct songs when I purchased them, have been replaced with some music I've never heard of before, for example I had "New Moon" by Brandy and one day it played something else entirely, but still had all the original song info. This has happened on more than one occasion and with different songs, and I've had to go delete the song and re-purchase and/or DL it.
Also, sometimes some of the music on iTunes isn't correct. Like recently, the availabe version of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" is less than 2 minutes long, so you don't even get the whole song although you pay for a whole song. Or, some music is completely incorrect (see B above).
Anybody else run into these issues, and/or have any clue why this happens and how best to prevent it? Please and thanks in advance.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Songs that wont play

I have two songs that I noticed that just stopped playing out of the blue. They were orginally purchased on Amazon a few weeks ago but they have been playing fine until yesterday. I tried to sync them again and restarting my ipod but none of that works. Any suggestions?

Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
If yes:
- 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.

Does anyone have an idea as to how they got there?
I am on a wireless password protected home network with my macbook pro. My other laptop and imac's itune libraries are mine.

Problem solved! Kids downloaded a torrent that had 1,000 songs.

Old ipod songs that wont play on itunes

I transferred some old ipod songs onto my itunes. When I try to play I get this message: "This computer is not authorized to play "song name" Would you like to authorize it"
When I enter my password it says: " This computer is already authorized" but it still wont play my songs? Can anyone help me?

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. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For 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>Music 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.
