Ipod music not sorting

A few weeks ago, I opened the music app on my i-pod (fifth generation), and none of the music was sorted. A few songs were by name, and the rest showed up in the # column. I already turned off sort by album artist. Any other suggestions?

Try:
- 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/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
  - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    THat is working correctly.
    The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.
    isnt it supposed to transfer to my library once I disconnect?
    It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.

  • Ipod touch not sorting track by TSOT

    Hi everyone,
    I'm experiencing a problem with my iPod touch.
    I have some Japanese music in mp3 quite well tagged. Uploading it on my iPod with Japanese locale I have a proper sorting for artist based on TSOP tags, but I found no ways to let it work whit the sorting of the title of the tracks (with the TSOT tag). In other words artists are properly divided in the kana sections, but for the tracks, all the ones that are written in kanjis are under the 123 section.
    How should I do?

    So the Apple Mobile Device serviced is installed and running on your system? You tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software? 
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Simply responding yes doesn't do much to help.  We need as much detail as we can get in order to help you troubleshoot this issue. Otherwise, we are just pulling at straws.

  • IPod music not supported

    my new iPod Hi-Fi seems not support my old version iPod click wheel, what's wrong? iTunes related?

    From its Wikepedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Hi-Fi
    iPod compatibility: Only some iPod models can use the iPod Hi-Fi dock. The stereo comes with adapters for third generation (20 GB, 40 GB, U2 special edition), fourth generation (20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB) and fifth generation (30 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB) iPods, and the first and second generations of the iPod nano. The iPod shuffle does not have a dock connector, and so can only connect to the audio-in port and cannot be recharged by the stereo.[6] So, with the exception of the iPod shuffle, the iPod Hi-Fi can be used only with iPods that do not feature Firewire charging.

  • Ipod music not accessible in itunes

    So I recently received a new ipod due to issues with my last. Now when I plug my new ipod into my computer, I can't access the music in itunes.... for example to change names of songs or whatever! I am assuming this is because it is a guest ipod and it doesn't have the right serial number blah blah...is this right to assume? How can I change this? I just downloaded itunes again but it's doing the same thing. Do I have to find my old itunes install disk and fix it that way? I have no idea where the disk is...but any hints would be helpful.
    Cheers.

    You mean you can't access the music on your iPod through iTunes?
    Select your iPod under devices. On the main summary page, there are 4 options at the bottom. Check the "manually manage songs and videos" option. This should give you access to the songs on your iPod.

  • Music not sorted corrected/not alphabetical

    My iphone continues to insert songs at seemingly random places into the songs list. Everything is correctly ordered in itunes but when I manually put them onto my iphone it just tosses them in under an incorrect letter. For example the song Fire Aura is in the E section under Epilogue and above Estremoz. Any one know how to fix this problem?

    Have you seen this?
    I don't see some of my songs when browsing by Artist on my iPod

  • How to solve the problem: ipod doesn't  sort tracks by track number

    After lots of attempts, I think I've found the solution that solves this problem (is it a BUG of the ipod software last update?).
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
    ===================
    For some albums, ipod seams to be not able to sort songs by track number, no matter how you order the tracks through itunes.
    This problem normally appears in albums that are NOT of the same artist (ex: soundtracks).
    Once you upload on ipod (for ex.) your soundtrack, it can happen, when you browse the ipod in the following way:
    (from the main menu): music -> albums -> <name of the album> -> <tracks list>
    that the tracks list IN THE ipod appears NOT sorted by track number.
    SOLUTION
    ========
    This problem is due to a particular tag, "album artist": try to DELETE what is written in this tag for each song that doesn't appear in the correct order.
    For those that are not aware about itunes:
    1) open itunes when your ipod is connected to the pc
    2) select a song ON THE IPOD that you notice is not in the right position
    3) right click the mouse on it and the select "get info": a popup appears
    4) select the "info" tag on this popup
    5) delete what is written in the text area named "album artist"
    6) click "ok"
    TEST AND REMARK
    ================
    Another suggestion, useful to test the result of this action through itunes.
    It seams that ipod software makes a specific sequence of queries: when you select a specific album on your ipod, first it groups songs by album name (it seams a nonsense, because the songs that belong to the same album have, of course, the same album name), then by "album artist" and only at the end by track number.
    So, if you delete the content of the tag "album artist", automatically ipod should sort all songs by track number.
    Therefore, try to make this test: in itunes, in the ipod section, click on the colum "album" in order to sort your album by album name.
    If the songs appear in the right order (that is, sorted by tracks), your should have solved the problem.
    Hope that this will help the ones who have this problem.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discusions.
    Is the album marked up as an audiobook by any chance?

  • My album artwork is showing up in my itunes library but not in itunes under ipod:music. help

    When I'm in itunes my album artwork shows up in my library. But if  i'm in itunes under my ipod:music it will not let me sort by Album, only Album by Artist, and absoluetly no artwork is there.help!

    Even if you somehow lost the iTunes app and your OS, unless you reformatted the hard drive to restore, your song files (the iTunes data) may still be there.  Look in your user home folder Music folder, for a folder called iTunes, and then iTunes Media.  If you see that folder, your song files may be in there.  If the hard drive was reformatted, obviously, nothing from before will be there.
    For your question, iTunes syncing is generally one way, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod, by design.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once your iPod's song files are on the computer's drive, you can add them to your current empty iTunes library.

  • Ipod smart playlist not sorting right.

    I'm not sure if this is because of the iOS 7 update but before the update. I was able to sort my music by Date Added and start my music from newer music I would download. After the iOS 7 update my playlist on the ipod sorts by Date Added but starts from older music and I have to scroll all the way down to the new stuff. If this would be address in a new update that would be awesome!

    Thanks. I didn't see the drop down menu to pick "unplayed Podcasts" from. It should do the same thing as the Smart Playlist I created. I did get some of the Podcasts in the Smart Playlist uploaded to my iPod, just not all of them. Now that I look at the ones that were uploaded, it appears that the ones that were uploaded were ones that I had downloaded directly from websites and not ones that were downloaded via iTunes Music Store (subscritions). So it appears that iTunes has a way of identifying them as Podcastats other than the Genre. OK it is done now and it still missed some Podcasts that were in the Smart list. It looks like it may have only picked the ones that I have subscribed to via Music Store (makes sense). This is a PAIN. Why not just let us use Smart Playlists for Podcasts?? Why can't we just use podcasts just like any other "track/song"? Just identify them by Genre.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

    The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me.

    Then you're doing something wrong.  Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
    Did you check the purchase history?

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    Hello Fanzaria,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  It sounds like you are trying to transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to iTunes on your computer, but you are repeatedly getting an authorization prompt. 
    Is it possible that some of these songs were purchased with an Apple ID you may have been using at another time?  You mentioned that you don’t see these purchases under your past purchases in the iTunes Store.  I recommend checking to see if they are hidden under your current Apple ID using the steps in the section titled “To unhide your purchases” in the following article:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    If you are not seeing all the songs you expect to see after checking for hidden purchases, I recommend searching for an older Apple ID that you may have used.  Use the steps in this article to find your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    If you find an alternate Apple ID that you used, authorize iTunes with that Apple ID:
    Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    I also recommend reviewing the following article for the issue you are experiencing.  I recommend reviewing the full article but specifically the section to Remove the SC Info folder:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

    you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere.  Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.
