IPod Not Automatically Adding New Songs When First Plugged In

For some time now, my iPod Nano (currently running iTunes 12.0.1.26) will not automatically add new songs when its first plugged into my MacBook Pro. I have to click the Sync button in the lower right hand corner of iTunes and then it will. I could swear it would automatically add new songs to the Nano but now it doesnt...
Sync Music is checked, Entire Music Library is checked.
Is this one of those new added features of new versions of iTunes? (sarcasm)
Thank you.
Scott

Nevermind...my fault.
The setting for preventing auto synching in Preferences, Device Preferences was checked.
Sorry.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • Does ipod nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in to the computer?

    When I bring new music into my itunes library the song is checked.  will the nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in again?  Or do I have to start over?  I hit sync again but not sure whether I have to do that every time I charge it.

    Depends on how you have your iPod set up to Sync.  For example if your iPod is configured to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure each new track you add to iTunes has a tick mark next to it.  The next time you sync your iPod (assuming it set up to automatically sync), the new tracks will be added.

Please post any help for me... thank you... I am pretty frustrated right now.

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

    I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. This did not happen on my old PC. Suggestions? Thanks!

    The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store.  You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • Ipod not automatically synching

    My apologies im not sure if this should appear in the ITUnes or IPOD forum.....
    For some reason i can no longer get my ipod to automatically synch to itunes when plugged in.
    - On  itunes when the ipod is plugged I only have ticked "Open itunes when ipod is connected"  and "enable disc use".
    "Manually manage" remains unticked.
    - Whwn ipod not plugged in , under Music i have set "synch entire library" & uner (individual) Podcasts i have "check every day" & "download all".
    However....when ipod is plugged in i still have to manualy press synch.when ipod not plugged in i still have to press the clockwise arrow symbol to check/download new podcasts.
    Clearly i am being dumb here but any help wpould be greatly appreciate !
    thankd

    There is a setting in iTunes preferences that may be relevant to the first issue (not syncing automatically).  In iTunes preferences Devices tab, there is a checkbox for Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.  If that is checked, the iPod connects without the initial sync.
    The podcast download issue is probably unrelated to the iPod syncing issue.  Every day means once per day.  So if the check for the day already took place, it won't happen again until the next day.  If you want it to check more often, you can change that setting to Every hour.

  • IPod touch automatically added playlist

    Has anyone ever experienced the iPod touch automatically adding or duplicating playlist, if so what would cause this

    As far as I know, the touch will only reconnect to networks it has been connected to before - ie the ones you have told it to connect to. Having said that, a number of people are too lazy or unlearned to change the name of their network from default set by the manufacturer - like linksys. Open networks, default names, once you connect to one the touch might just connect to the others.
    You can, in fact, forget these networks. When connected, tap Settings > WiFi > then the blue > next to the network name. Tap Forget this Network.
    If you really want to get rid of all of these, probably a Restore as New would be your best bet. That will reset everything and the touch will not connect to a network unless you tell it to.

  • 10.0.01 ver. doesn't sign-in automatically i look up password manager, it seems it saves usernames and passwords, when i visit websites i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time.

    10.0.01 version doesn't sign-in automatically... i look up password manager, it seems to it saves usernames and passwords, when i try to visit that website i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time... it happened after mozilla updated itself... please help about it.. (i dont have problems like this in Opera browser)
    mozilla fills user name when i click but after that it asks for main password (whats the purpose of remembering passwords if it will ask for main password)
    by the way main password for password manager is of course useful but it şs useful whenever i want to use it not all the time i open mozilla .
    and not all the time i open a website or forum which i often use...
    there were no problems before it updated itself...
    please tell me the solution

    my problem is not related with using main password or not...
    in former versions of firefox i was automatically signed in to websites without any click... it wasnt asking me to sign-in (because my usernames and passwords were remembered-and saved in password manager)
    in this version they are remembered again but i have to write first 2-3 letters of my username and it remembers my username then it remembers password...
    for example when i clicked twitter.com my account and my homepage as automatically opened, but in this version when i click twitter.com it opens the sign-in page and i write first 2 letters of my user name it remembers name and password and then i signin
    (difference i was at where i want to sign in with one click--- but in new version 1click for webpage-1 click for clicking to username are-1-2 letter writing to find my user name-1 click to remember password-1 click to sign in) an addition: also if i am using main password i am entering main password and click to sign-in
    This can be little problem to u, but it is really annoying problem, 9-10 clicks more for each webpage which i wanted mozilla to remember my usernames and passwords... it also asks main password if i am using...
    if i want to visit 5-6 different websites it means 70-80 clicks more and 50-60 letters typing according to your main password .. (in opera and mozillas former versions it is just 5-6 clicks)
    so main problem is the cookies were remembered in all the sessions but after it updated to v.10.0.1 expiry date of cookies of same websites that i visit are just for one session... it is not related with the websites and their servers that i visit because if so how can Opera remembers all the time...

  • Bridge Does Not Automatically Bring Up Photoshop When the Photo is Double-Clicked

    I have just purchased CS4 with Bridge for my new MacIntosh.  In Bridge for the PC, when I double click a photo it automatically brings up Photoshop.  On the Mac version, it gives me an error message saying that part of the application is not loaded.  I completely uninstalled the program, and reloaded the application and still get the same message.  So in Bridge on the Mac, to get around this, I right click the picture and go to "Open With" and there are two entries:  "Open with CS4 (default)" and "Open with CS4."  This works if I pick either option.  My Windows version only has "Open with CS4 (default)" as the option.
    I called Adobe support (in India?) with no solution.
    I really like the double click option rather that using the pop-out menu choice.  What is wrong with the Mac install, and how can I fix this issue?

    Thank you for your help.  I updated the software and it "healed" itself.

    This might mean that you have either 2 installs of CS4 (one on an other
    disk?) or you did not use the the default application folder on root level
    but have it installed in the user account application folder. Could you
    check this?

  • HELP! iPod won't load new songs on my iTunes

    My iPod has been having bizarre issues. It has been really screwed up since around August 13th, and it seems to work all right right now when I am merely playing it except that it sometimes skips over random songs. However, whenever I plug it into my computer, iTunes says that my iPod is being updated, but when it is finished and I unplug my iPod, there are no new songs. My ipod has 1090ish songs on it, and my iTunes has about 1157. I am really confused. Also, when I plug in my iPod to be updated, a tiny alert message comes up on my screen that says, "iTunes.exe - corrupt file
    the file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes`Temp File is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
    Anyone know what that means and/or what I can do? Do I have to send my iPod in to get fixed?

    I have the same error message
    "iTunes.exe - corrupt file
    the file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes`Temp File is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
    itunes deleted all my songs even though i have it set to manual and now I can't upload any songs to my ipod. furthermore it says i have 21.6 GB available out of the 27.8 GB capacity, yet i have no songs or movies or anything on it. If you figure out how to fix this problem please let me know.
