IPod Mini - Playlist is on Itunes but not on my Ipod

Hi, I am a new Ipod user. I have set up an "on-the-go" playlist in Itunes, selected to update my ipod, but don't see the playlist option anywhere on my ipod. Any ideas on how I can find my playlist?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the playlist function turned on on your iPod?

Playlists appear in itunes but not on sync list

I have recently exported my itunes library to a new lap top. Several playlists were lost but I wasn't that fussed. Itunes was newly installed on the laptop. When I plug in my iPhone (4) and select "music" only six playlists are available and five of those are the automatic ones created by itunes (recently updated, recently played etc).
I have got Match. but that caused even more problems and is currently turned off on both devices. I am going away on holiday tomorrow and have no music and am at my wits end. Can anyone advise?
Thank you
Gillie

I feel stupid.
Yes, your answer did work, but it wasn't very satisfying, as I wanted the videos to show up separately from my other movies. Then I realized what I'd been missing.
When your iPod is hooked up to iTunes, there's an option under the "Music" tab that reads "Allow music videos." It was unchecked - once I checked it, everything was fine. Thanks for answering though!

Some songs, which are bought in the iTunes store, will be played iTunes but not on my iPod touch. Has somebody an explanation for that? Thanks,

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

Have you went to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in?

My Ipod touch is recognized by itunes, but not by my computer!

My hard drive recently crashed, and I had to get a new one. I lost all my songs, so I am trying to transfer them to my new harddrive, but windows only recoginzes my ipod touch as a camera, so I can't get to my songs. Help?

There is no disk mode like it used to be with the older ipod models. If you bought your music in iTunes, make sure autosync is disabled, connect to your computer and right click on your ipod in the device list in iTunes.
Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all media and apps bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
Also back up manually, to be able to restore your ipod after the first sync, which will erase your device due to the new iTunes library created on your HD.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, to get the merge prompt while syncing contacts and calendars.

There is 3rd party software out there to copy media you did not buy in iTunes, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My Gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized

My gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized. I have reloaded itunes and other trouble shooting, but no luck

Suggest you try the following two steps starting with the first one. If it doesn't correct the problem perform the second step.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

Album art is showing in itunes but not on my ipod

I have a new 60GB ipod video and am having a problem with album artwork. It shows in all the right windows in itunes but not on the ipod itself.
The problem is affecting random songs (singles and odd album tracks) and is not as a result of any software updates.
I have tried unchecking and rechecking the 'display album art' option in preferences, deleting and reinserting the covers and even deleting and reimporting the affected songs from scratch. So far nothing has worked and I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?
Apple iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) ipod 60GB with video

Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

Problems with artwork displaying in iTunes but not on iPod screen

I have iTunes (7.6) and a 5th gen, 80GB, firmware 1.2.3 iPod.
Not infrequently, I find that a song's artwork is visible in iTunes, but not on the iPod itself. Sometimes the artwork is displayed simply as a black rectangle on the iPod.
The converse situation also sometimes happens - when album info is retrieved from the CDDB, sometimes album artwork is also retrieved - but this is not displayed in the iTunes software, only on the iPod.
And yes, the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox is selected in iTunes.
Does anyone have any more info about this?
Are there any restrictions on image file formats? Maximum size? Type? Interlaced or not?
Last time I asked this question I got zero response
It is an irritating problem, cos there's no way to check what the artwork looks like on the iPod without disconnecting it from my PC :/

OK to drag this thread back on topic:
I think the "sync" thing is irrelevant anyways.
What I tried in the end was viewing my iPod in iTunes,
navigating through to the check box for "display album artwork",
UNcheck it, and click apply.
At this point, iTunes said, with NO confirmation "Are you sure?" dialog, "DELETING ARTWORK ON iPOD" !! :-O I was not pleased
However I then re-selected the "display album artwork" box and clicked Apply. The process took about 10 minutes to complete.
When I then disconnected the iPod, the black squares were gone, and the artwork was NOT deleted (phew!) and was displaying correctly. I was pleased
The amount of "other" megabytes on the display in iTunes for my iPod's contents had shrunk.
I dunno what all this actually did - are the artwork files embedded in the MP4 files on the iPod? Or are they stored seperately and linked to them?
I'm wondering if the "black square" thing is caused by an MP4 having an embedded image, and there also being a conflicting image file elsewhere on the hard drive? But this is just guessing.

A ton of songs disappeared from my iTunes, but not off my iPod. How do I put them back?

A ton of songs disappeared from my iTunes, but not off my iPod. How do I put them back?

Select all the songs you want to be in one album, right click and choose "Get Information", delete the album name, if any, and type the one you want. You can also paste the Artwork in the right bottom box. Then click "Accept".

HT203167 Some of my Itunes playlists have been deleted but not all of them. I never deleted them myself, just one day they didn't appear in my playlist section. How do I recover these playlists?

So recenlty I went to my Itunes library and realized a number of my playlists have been deleted but not all of them. I never deleted them myself just one day they weren't there? How do I recover these?

Do you have a backup you could restore them from?

Voice Memos show up in iTunes but not on iPhone 4

When I plug my iphone into my MBP, I can see all my Voice Memos in the list of things on my device in iTunes. And, I have a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes that appears to be complete.
However, in the Voice Memos app on my phone, I only have one memo, and the playlist doesn't show up at all in my Music app. Based on what I'm seeing in iTunes, the voice memos are there on my phone somewhere, but I can't find them, and I can't figure how to move the playlist from itunes back onto my phone.
I do use iMatch, and it looks like the Voice Memos playlist doesn't sync with iMatch. That may be part of the problem. But, I don't want to lose some of these memos - precious moments from the lives of my children. Help!

Hi Itarbox,
I've been experiencing about the same issue : I had a list of Voices Memos shown in iTunes that didn't appeared on my iPhone 4S. Here is what I did to solve the problem :
I strongly suggest you perform a backup before doing this, just in case.
1st : Get back those "lost" Voices Memos from the backup file
I've downloaded "iBackup Bot for iTunes", open the last backup, select the files I want to get back and "export" them to a local folder. Those are mp4 files that can easily be opened with iTunes or Media Player.
this is the tricky part, which took me about 4-5 hours of painful research, trial and error :
2nd : Get rid of the "erroneous" files that still appear within iTunes, but not on the iPhone
I've downloaded "iExplorer", opened it with my iPhone plugged in (it reads the iPhone database). Then, I right clicked on the folder iPhone > Media > Recordings and deleted the whole folder. The software warns that this move is irreversible, click ok. Now close iExplorer, unplug the iPhone and open iTunes. When iTunes is loaded, plug in the iPhone and sync. The erroneous files are now gone!
Hope this helps!
