IPod has stopped updating

I drag songs/videos or even delete them, and it looks like I changed it. But when I unplug it from the computer nothing changed. My new videos/songs aren't there. I tried to see if the reverse was also true, and removed everything I had on my iPod. Looked empty, reloaded it, everything was back.
Umm...what do I do now?
Edit: it is still displaying the songs I deleted, but they are not playable anymore.
So something is updating
Edit 2: When I delete my iPod songs from iTunes, the amount of space used remains the same. It does not go down. But when I add more songs the amount does go up, but then they're not there when I unplug the iPod, but the smae taken is still taken.
Edit 3: Lol, after 3 hours of trying to get it to work it just started updating again. Oh who knows?

chris -
My ipod is doing something similar. It has stopped syncing with itunes. I added new songs into my itunes and when I plugged in the ipod it acted like it was updating. It even said "update complete". But, when I went to play my new songs, they were not in my ipod. So, I updated my ipod software, updated my itunes, restarted my computer, and reset my ipod. I plugged it up again - and it did the same thing. It acts like it is updating, but the songs do not transfer. What should I do now?

  • ITunes has stopped updating this podcast...

    I'm curious if anyone has a fix for this ACTUAL iTUNES MESSAGE:
    "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast becasue you have not listened to any episode recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
    It seems crazy to me that iTunes would just stop updating my podcasts because I haven't listened in a while. It would be just as ridiculous if Tivo stopped recording TV shows because I haven't watched them in a while. It doesnt mean I dont want to listen/watch in the future.
    APPLE: FIX THIS!

    Apple, count me as another user who wants you to do something different here. I would prefer to simply get a message that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while then not have it being downloaded. Especially now with advanced subscription settings that let us change the subscription on a per-podcast basis, this behavior should be changed. Maybe it's already in the queue?
    Suggested change:
    Just warn with option to stop warning, but always continue to download as per subscription settings.
    I have a number of podcasts that I'm "subscribed to" but I don't listen to as regularly as they are published. However when i'm going to hit the road, I want those episodes there, especially on my ipod. I don't want to have wait for them to all update!
    FYI for others reading this discussion; here is the Documentation:

  • Ipod has stopped putting songs into the recently played list, Any ideas Y?

    My ipod has stopped counting songs and also now wont put any songs into the recently played playlist and its really annoying- Any ideas on how i can sort this out? I've reset the ipod which has done nothing and i have also updated itunes but again to no avail- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Lisa

    I am also having this (or a similar) problem. For years I had an Auto Playlist of Podcasts with "Play Count is Zero"/Live updating rules so they were removed each time I synced my iPod after I listened to them. Recently, the Playlist has stopped updating. That is, the podcasts stay in the playlist because the play counts never update. They show in the podcast library with 0 plays no matter how many times I play them on my iPod.
    I also noticed that none of songs I play have their playcounts updated in the Library after I play them on my iPod. All the syncing seems to be going one way (from the PC to the iPod and not the other way around). I picked a song with a playcount of 1 and it over and over just to test it out and no dice/no update.
    Any clues? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried resetting the iPod.... And the iPod played tunes/casts are also not appearing in the Recently Played list....

  • Ipod has stopped syncing

    Hello
    My ipod has stopped syncing on a windows 7 machine.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  Under devices I can "traansfer purchases from ipod" but am not able to sync. When I run diagnostics from help it finds "no ipod" under device sync test. I ahve tried some of the other suggestions as well such as reinstalling drivers.   I have also reset ipod.  Please help!

    I to have this problem it took many attempts to sync my Ipod. I also think it is a problem with the previouse up date, I recived another yesterday and have yet to try again with the new update installed. I was thinking it was my firewire card, and was going to try the usb cable if it happened again.
    Well it all synced up ok this time via firewire, only 5 new tracks though BUT trying to copy contacts from out look now crashes itunes.

  • My ipod has stopped working since the laptop turned off during synching.it shows no music and wont play games also is slower,constantly resets and freezes itunes when connected to computer.if i switch it off a spinning wheel appears till batt dies.help?

    My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
    My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
    It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
    My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
    The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
    I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
    When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
    does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
    currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
    ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
    Help ASAP needed

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • ITunes stops updating podcasts / iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?

    Hi,
    My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
    However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
    This is not what I intend... and not  what I  told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
    This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
    How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
    Thank you for your ideas!

    Thank you for the response, Roger!
    OK, that's how it is then.
    The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
    Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
    Including the "cron job" setup here:
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
    Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
    If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share...

  • ITunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened . .

    I found an archived article from two years ago: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8453115 and have found subsequent articles talking about outboard solutions that I have tried and do not work. The problem continues to this day. Why doesn't Apple just fix this themselves?
    Exact text of the message, as if it is a mystery: iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.

    Although you may not like the way it's set up, Apple appears to have done this deliberately and therefore does not consider it broken. I suspect that they do it that way to conserve bandwidth.
    Submit your feedback to Apple requesting something different here:

    iTunes is not reading your feed at all because there is a parsing error in Episode 7:

  • Mail rss feed has stopped updating

    my RSS feed in Mail has stopped updating. The last updates were on August 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Same here for a couple of weeks now. Only thing that helps is restarting mail. As seen from all the complaints here, it is a random problem and is continuing for some time now. And i think there will be no help from Apple since they have decided in there wisdom to drop the RSS feeds in the mail app all together from the newer OSX versions. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

  • My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    OK. I will work backwards.
    You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
    Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
    That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Remote App on my iPod has stopped working after 7.0.3 update

    Remote App used to work well, instantly connecting to my iTunes library (V10.5.2 on OS X 10.5.8), but after updating my iPad 4 to 7.0.3 it has stopped connecting.
    I have re-started my Airport router as Apples tech docs suggested, and re-started the machine that the iTunes library is on. Neither has helped. I have also turned sharing on and off in iTunes a few times but nothing allows the iPad to show up under devices as it did previously.
    The iTunes library will share to other computers on the same network running 10.6.8 and 10.8.5.
    Under devices nothing is shown.

    Found the problem. The iPad was connecting to my guest network rather than my main network as it is supposed to.
