Ipod no eat the songs

i tune is refusing to down load albums i have paid for and my music is not showing up latest up date of i tune soft ware on my computer what can i do it is eating half of the songs and it not down loading my music all way help confused girlscout leader who need ipod working right

I have the same problem. Just the other day my ipod was working fine. But today it wouldn't update any of the new songs I added. The songs are in readable formats and there is still plenty of space on my ipod. But when my ipod is updating on itunes, it actually shows that each song is being added to my ipod on the computer screen. But when I check my ipod even when it is still connected to my computer the songs aren't there even though through the ipod window on itunes shows that the songs have been added. The number of songs on my ipod in the "about" section doesn't match the total number that itunes says has been updated to my ipod. I really hope somebody can help us out because this is driving me crazy.

Ive restored my Ipod nano and the songs that I've already purchased are now not syncing to my device. How do I get those songs back on the nano?

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

If i got a new iTunes and it doesn't have anysongs on it and my ipod does, will my ipod lose all the songs, apps and etc. i have on it if i sync it with the new itunes?

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

I moved all of my music to my new computer and now my ipod touch stops the song at end of it why and how do i fix it easily

i moved all of my music to my new computer and now the songs stop before the end of them or it skips to the next one on the ipod how can i fix it easily

Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.

All my songs are greyed out on my iPod except for the songs in my itunes library

I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod touch and when I connect to my Macbook Pro and go to itunes it states that there are over 10,000 songs on my ipod, but when I click to play them a little exclamation mark appears before it. (As it does when the source cannot be found.) At the bottom of itunes it still shows a large blue Audio bar stating that I have over 10,000 songs on it somewhere, but I cannot play them. When disconnecting from Itunes the artists and albums are all showing, but as soon as I go into an album all the songs are greyed out. This only just happened yesterday when adding a few extra songs I downloaded to my itunes and dragged and dropped them to my ipod.
Please help me, the data should be on the ipod somewhere, but for some reason I cannot reach it. I do not have a backup, so this is really annoying
Thanks for any help

How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
Help Please!

The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

I first couldn't update my iPod, now all the songs are gone!

Hey guys thanks for the time to help, but heres the story.
Okay, it first said "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." So then i clicked on "Automatically update all songs and playlists" under preferences, and then a popup said "the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error -(36) occured." Okay, so i was struggling with this problem for a long time, i even went to the iPod store and they dont even know.
So then my friend told me to UPDATE my iTunes, so i updated it to iTunes v. 6. NOWWWWW, i plugged in my iPod and then the same thing happens... "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." then all my songs on "admin's iPod" got erased!! So i click automatically update songs again and a NEW pop up comes up saying: "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read or written to." So now, not only can i not update my iPod, but all of the songs r erased.
So the question is... How can i transfer the songs from my "admin's iPod" folder on iTunes back to my iPod!!!!!???

Check these out.

I was syncing my ipod to itunes today and after I ejected it and looked at my ipod all of the songs from it had been deleted. Please help.

So I added some new songs to my Itunes library and plugged in my Ipod in order to add the new songs onto it. After it said sync complete I ejected the Ipod and pressed the music button on it. There were no songs on the Ipod anymore or any playlists. Photos still remained however. I then plugged my Ipod back into the computer and Itunes shows that there are still all of these songs still on the Ipod even though they're not there. What is the problem with my Ipod? Any help would be much appreciated.

More info needed to be of any assistance.
Which model generation of iPod Classic are you using?
Are you using Windows or Mac OS X?
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software version shown in the iTunes summary page?

Artists not appearing on iPod menu when the songs are definitely there?!

I have some artists on my iPod that don't appear on the main menu.
Here is an example. Big Star are on the iPod and I can find their songs through the Songs menu but they don't appear at all as an Artist. I have checked that it is spelled correctly etc.
There are other examples, I assume it is something I have done wrong with the settings.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

I've worked it out. Some of the albums are incorrectly listed as compilations and that edits them out of the main artist menu.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem.

Ipod list all the songs of an album purchased on itunes but will skip some

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode in which case you can ignore the rest of this post. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased. However if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

My Ipod isnt downloading the songs from itunes?

I have my ipod touch 4th gen. plugged into my laptop. I am trying to get the songs from itunes (on my laptop) to my ipod. I am clicking the song and dragging it to my ipod but thats not working. I also tried syncing my whole library of 197 songs but only 22 are going onto my ipod after the complete sync. PLEASE HELP MEE!?! My block party is in an hour and i am in charge of the music and only have 22 songs....

What happens when you try to redownload them directly to the iPod?

When I add songs to my ipod 5th generation the songs don't add, why is that?

I keep adding new songs to my ipod. It seems to work but then I leave my house and the song isn't on my ipod. I've only had this ipod for about 3 weeks. Prior to this ipod, I owned another ipod 5th generation for about a year, but I lost it & I never encountered this problem with that ipod.
the song shows up greyed out when i click my ipod from my itunes like this:
& isn't on my ipod once i disconnect it. It seems to be adding the songs slower or something. Also, sometimes when I attempt to add one single song to my itunes my whole library gets added to my ipod, which is annoying because I delete songs from my ipod, yet they're being added again.
Is this apart of the update? Is there some way to fix this to the old settings because I tend to get music from other people's itunes libraries too, and i don't want their library syncing on my ipod.
