IPod Library in iTunes different from iPod Library on actual device

Sorry for the cryptic header - I can't seem to get iTunes to match with the iPod. When you connect your iPod to your computer and open up iTunes, you can check your iPod's music library by clicking the Music tab under the icon for your iPod. My problem is that when I disconnect the iPod from the computer, certain songs that iTunes said were in my iPod's library don't show up when I look for them with the iPod. Any ideas?

When you connect the iPod, you should see your Summary page... it has a picture of the iPod, next to its name, serial number, software version, capacity, and format. Down towards the bottom of this page is a section entitled Options. Below this there is an option that says "manually manage music and videos." Is this option selected?
If so, iTunes is expecting you to manually click and drag songs to the iPod. If you'd rather iTunes & iPod match, you can uncheck this option, as well as the one that says "enable disk use" and then click Apply. This should make the two match.
If this option is not selected, check to make sure the songs that are not transferring to the iPod play in iTunes.

How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing apps with my devices?

I want to be able to sync music to my iPad and iPod but I do not want to store their apps on my computer. Since iCloud remembers which apps I own, this is (in my mind) unnecessary. How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing my apps? This did not use to be a problem because in iTuens 10 it was an option. Now it seems that it isn't.

Well, in fact the application stopped opening automatically for no reason that is clear to me. For about 5 days after I updated the software it opened automatically when I plugged in or unplugged my phone. Then it suddenly stopped. All I did between the last automatic open and the time that it ceased was, in the options window, uncheck the "manually manage music and videos" option and then check it again without clicking "apply" and also checking "sync only checked songs and videos" and unchecking again without clicking apply.
I can't really recall now, but I thought that I played around with those settings and no matter what, I never saw the Option for Automatically Sync when Connected in iTunes.
I can think of no reason why this would halt the automatic opening but it has definitely stopped. Yet I still don't have the option listed in the options window to "prevent itunes from opening automatically when device is connected."
This is all very strange to me but I can think of nothing to pursue it further.
I can't think of any reason why it would trigger that behavior and of the other 170+ views that this discussion has received, I suppose that nobody else had anything to offer either.
I can't think of anything else to pursue it further either and as long as it is working the way that you want it to work now, I can't think of any need to pursue it further.

Problems with installing new itune, different from the problems described.

Ok, so this morning when I was trying to access itunes, it said "error, send error report" or something like that. I retried it several times, but it would not work. So I uninstalled it and installed the new version. Then, I when I was trying to download it, it said something is wrong with my "Windows Installer Package"...and it just skips installing itunes... Please help me, thank you.

instead of running the install on line, download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive, and run the install from there.
if you still get the message then, could you post back with the precise text of the message?

Downloaded itunes apps from one account onto multiple devices - HELP!

Hi guys,
I have an iPhone and an iPod, both registered on my same apple ID. My boyfriend uses my iPOD, and often downloads apps directly onto the iPOD. I would like a list of all my downloaded and bought apps so i can download them all onto my iPhone as well, without having to sync the iPOD to my iTunes to transfer purchases. Where can I see my purchase history on iTunes, so I can go through and re-download apps?
Thanks so much

Log into your iTunes account in iTunes (click on your ID in the upper right hand corner of the iTunes Window). You can then click on the View Purchases button.

How do I redeem iTunes card from Australian store front

My friend sent me two iTunes card numbers from Australia to USA. When I tried to redeem them a message popped saying I must redeem from Australian store front. What does this mean and how do I redeem the cards???

Actually no I am not by wording of that it simply means one MUST spend the funds where it was purchased or IN Territory of purchase / country of origin. my friend APPLE / iTunes are very smart people by the way. one you must have credit / debit card as well as phone number that is actually number. But the key to what I am saying is this if you change your address and number and so on, and you enter the card number TAKE A WILD GUESS WHERE You HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY:). YES U R RIGHT AUSTRALIA And Yes YOU ARE WRONG as well as other two. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO Move THERE TO SPEND THE MONEY THERE. LAW IS MERELY WORDS THAT ARE COMPOSED TO EXPRESS THE LAWS. WELL THERE ARE ALWAYS LEAGAL LOOP HOLES IN THOSE LAWS. POINT?? ITUNES IS WORLD WIDE AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE PURCHASE IS WORLD WIDE. MEANING YES I CAN LEAVE THE COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA AMD STilL SPEND EVERY DIME OF THE CURRENCY IN A ITUNE STORE GOVERNED BY AUSTRALIA which pays their taxes to do business in that country. THE POINT TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THERE OR THAT WHICH You POSTED MEANS THAT CARD CAN GO TO SPACE AMD IF YIU HAVE IPOD IPHONE OR THE IPAD AMD LOG K TO ITUNES ON 15679515MARS YIU WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE AUSTRALIAN ITUNES STORE. IF YOU WENT TO A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY WHERE NO MAN HAS BODLY Gone BEFORE lol AND YOu ARE ABLE TO Receive EARTH WIFI YOU WILL SPEND THAT MONEY With THE AUSTRALIA. HAHA DO YOU THINK THAT WEALTHY MULTI MILLIONAIRE IS ON A BUSINESS FLIGHT AND HE HAS ITUNES CARD FROM TIMBUKTU DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK HE/SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPEND IT LOL COME ON MAN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE POSTING. THOSE WORDS SIMPLY PUT ONLY MEANS THIS (the card was purchased in this or that country so you have to spend currency with that country. The second thing and more important THAN LEAVING AND PERSON WHO SAYS ( oh no I have to fly back to Australia at four lol to spend this million on my iTunes card)lol wow smart guy OK SERIOUSLY LMAO. OK THE MAJOR POINT IN THAT RULE IS (((DO NOT ATTEMT TO HACK OR SPEND IN JAPAN OR AMERICAS AND SO ON))))). LOL WOW STUDY THE LAWS MY FRIEND. ALSO APPLE ISNt MULTI BILLION corporation for not being able to solve that one with ease. Any ways as I sit in my Seattle home ( north of) I have 2 things my fifty bucks from friend on account and two a very expensive Australian iTunes Store list & until I spend every dime to the last penny is spent. And if there is a balance unable to make purchase it will get put into a Australian account or will in some way get spent that country by law as written. so genius the money never leaves the country lol. And no laws are violated from Australian iTunes agreement.
Like I said do your research before you post incorrect info. ONE !!!YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FLY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO SPEND MONEY WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY. AN AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT ATTEMPT IN ANYWAY SHAPE FORM OR FASION TO SPEND THAT MONEY OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN STORE YOU CAN GO TO Any OF THE NINE OR TEN PLANETS AND USE IT. BOOM. IN YO FACE HAHA. Oh there are lots of cricket apps. Lol I mean lots like wow lots also the prices for books are almost double and the apps USA would pay 4.99 are like 7-9.99. So any other remarks about this issue to me is pointless why???!!because I have my money two my Apple ID is or app /iTunes store is connected to Australia so therefore as long as I do not attempt in any way to spend it else where no laws will be violated. If you think I'm wrong my friend give them a call and study the agreement or research more deeply. No hard feelings but make sure you are correct when saying I am wrong that I know to be true.

HT1473 I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my computer. My current Itunes library is listing the songs, but cannot find them when I try to put them on to my iphone.

I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer. My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.

In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

I have the latest version of Itunes downloaded and installed to my computer. I have a music library already created for my replaced Ipod Nano. I've just purchased a new Nano. When I try to access the Itunes store from the Itunes program, it gets hung u

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, but it still gets hung up when trying to access the Itunes Store from the Itunes program.
I've been unable to register the new Nano or sync it with my library.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Why are the albums in the device Sync Music window different from the albums in the itunes library? Can't sync albums onto my phone properly. (All software is the latest release.)

When you select your device to sync music the album list is broken up into artists rather than the albums. The itunes library presents the artists and albums correctly (properly grouped particularly the complilation albums, but also the ones with artists and guests) but the sync aspect does not. It completely screws things up. A good product let down by obviously sloppy programming. Is there a fix? Or do I just change phones and avoid the hassle.

Maybe the phone does things different from iPod Touch. Tracks are listed to gether by album for me when looking at albums list.

I have an older ipod 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account. It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music. How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

Hello Analogue guy living in wireless world,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPod.
I recommend trying to sync your music again using iTunes. When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked. From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
I recommend reviewing the full article here:

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

TS1538 In iTunes 11 I can't find a device list nor my ipod to the left of music library screen, where is the device list situated?

After installing update to iTunes 11, I can not find the devices list nor my ipod on the left side of the music library screen. I also can't find the devices button. Devices is an option under 'File' but it only allows 'transfer purchases to ipod'. Where is the device list located in iTunes 11?

I`m having exactly the same problem!! Updated Friday to the new Itunes 11, which i have to say looks cool but isn`t overly user friendly, and my Iphone 5 is not being recognised. Ran diagnostic tests and i`m getting a red dot next to iphone, ipod etc stating not connected even though it was! I`ve spent all weekend trying to fix the problem and have gone through clearing the temp folder and the device manager, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but nothing!

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
