IPod only gets half of the songs from new albums...

I have an iPod classic, purchased in 2008. I am running into an issue where when I add new albums to iTunes (not from the iTunes store or from an actual CD), only about half of the songs will make it on to the iPod when I sync. The songs all show up and work on iTunes, and my iPod is set up to add the entire library, but some of the songs just don't make it on there. The iPod isn't anywhere near capacity. I've tried adding them to specific playlists and although they show up fine on iTunes, they are just completely missing from the playlist on the actual iPod. Everything is up to date, software wise, so I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. Thank you!

Error correction may be the problem; it was for me. See if it is checked and if it is uncheck it. You will find it under File>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. I hope this solves your problem.

Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

HT1660 How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because they feature guest artists

How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because 2 of the songs feature guest artists in my itunes library?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

HT201272 I pre-ordered an album, but only 2 of the songs from that album are showing up to download. What do I need to do to get the rest of the album that I already bought?

Not sure what is going on here. I pre-ordered an album. One of the songs was available for instant download so I have that in my library now. I received an email saying that the rest of the album is available for download. When I go into my purchased songs as instructed, it only shows 2 other songs from that album. Not sure what I need to do.

Hi libby2350,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Depending on your settings, the songs may already have been downloaded to your iTunes library.
The article below will explain how the Pre-orders process works.
If you still cannot find this music on your computer, the iTunes Store Support team will be happy to help you with your order.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloadsto begin downloading your pre-order.
I hope this information helps ...
Have a great day!

Can't download all the songs from an album

Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?
I downloaded an album on my iPhone one morning (Brits 2014 - 62 tracks), I have managed to get it into itunes on my laptop and also transferred the songs onto my iPad and iPod - for some reason (unbeknown to be) I am unable to get the complete album onto my PC at work. Only about half of the 62 tracks have come across...
I have checked for available downloads, but it says everything is up to date
Does anyone have any ideas on how to sort this please?

Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download them (what you can re-download where is shown on this page). If you are in one of those countries then try deleting the entries for the songs from your computer's iTunes library (you don't have to delete the actual songs, just the iTunes entries) and then see if you can re-download them - I think that if iTunes sees an entry for something in your library then it assumes that you already have it and that there is therefore no need to re-download it.
If you are in a country where music can't be re-downloaded then you could try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

IPod Photo - Only transfers half of the images from iPhoto

I have a 30Gb iPod Photo running v1.2 connected to the firewire port of my Powerbook G4 (OS 10.3.9). iTunes is running v4.9. I have tried to transfer my portfolio pictures (1033 total - all jpegs) from iPhoto (where images are all viewable) into iPod and I'm only getting 670 of them. No matter what I try I only get 670 and no more. I have 18Gb of available storage space on the iPod. Any ideas???

I have the same issue. I have somewhere around 2,000 modified (i.e. edited) images and only around 20 of those got picked up in the import and appear in stacks with their originals.
Curiously, if rather than importing the iPhoto library I import a specific event all the original and modified images are properly imported and stacked.
I suspect the issue comes from a corrupted iPhoto library but I've tried rebuilding the library and the result is the same.
At this point, I guess the manual solution would be to import events separately, the obvious downside is that none of the faces info will transfer over. Hopefully there is a real solution out there.

In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

Hello!
I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this!
Thank you

Exactly!
This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

Playlist on ipod doesn't add all the songs from itunes playlist.

I made a playlist on itunes and then synced my ipod and not all the songs are on the playlist. They're on my ipod just not on the playlist. I don't have iTunes Match and I've tried pretty much everything. I bought all the songs either with CDs or through itunes. It's annoying all the songs are on my itunes playlist and then they're not all on my ipod playlist. I have 1000+ songs on my playlist and I hate having to find what songs are missing. Is there a way to fix this. I even reset my ipod and did it again and it still dose it. Regardless if it's on manual of not. :( someone please help me fix this. I have the iPod touch 5th gen

Ok, I deleted the two files and upon startup iTunes did run that search wizard for music files. However, it only found 4 songs that are located on local harddisks, and did not (as far as I could see on the network status) even try to search on the network harddisk.
One more thing though, that I forgot to mention before. I tried to solve this situation by installing an earlier version of iTunes... 4.6 i think, but when I tried to run the program it told me something like "Cannot read the file iTunes library.itl since it was created by a later version of iTunes". Where can i find that file, and should i remove it and try to add the songs with iTunes 4.6 instead?
(Thanks so much for all your help!)

IPod only gets half of the songs from new albums...
