Ipod only updated SOME songs...

I listened to about 70 songs, and my Ipod updated something like half of them in Itunes. Why would this be?

Do you have any songs in your library unchecked? The iPod has an option which you'll find in the Summary tab that when set means that it doesn't update unchecked songs: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!

    i have itunes 7.0.2 which i assume is the same thing as 7.0 and whenever i plug in my ipod, click on the ipod icon, and go to summary tab, the only options i get are "sync music: All songs or playlists" or "sync music: selected playlists." there's no option for "only sync checked items." it's very frusterating. could you please give me very direct instructions on how to get only checked music onto my ipod? thanksss.

  • Only Update Checked Songs ??? What does this mean?

    Hi, I was looking at my iPod preferences, and see the option "Only Update Checked Songs" What does this mean exactly? Has anyone figured it out yet?
    I searched the iTunes help file and it just listed stuff about Podcasts.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    OK, my daughter and me both have iPods and only 1 computer to update them, I don't like alot of her music, I was hoping for a way to keep the automatically update setting on my iPod - so when new music was added to my library it would automatically copy those songs to my iPod, but if I didn't like them I could uncheck the songs and after the next update those songs wouldn't be on my iPod anymore.
    When we became a two iPod family, I did use the manual update on my iPod for awhile but it became a pain to remember which songs I just added to the library and copy those songs to my iPod.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

  • I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

    i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

    What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
    Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

  • HT4623 How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not a iso 7 or 8?

    How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not an ios 7 or 8?

    Because iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor. Your device doesn't have either of those.

  • Ipod Mini will only play some songs

    My ipod mini has 43 songs. It will only play some of my songs. The other songs won't even play a single second. I've had some success with restoring via the ipod updater but it keeps coming back. Help?

    I've already written to Apple, several times. They sent an auto-reply expressing sympathy that I couldn't find where I had downloaded my iTunes, and directing me to the correct folder...not exactly a helpful answer.
    I'm using whatever software came with the blue mini last August when I bought it. I can't be positive, but it seems that the only iPod software updates since then have been related to the shuffle, the nano, ot the new iPod (video), or a system bugs (Tiger) which I don't have yet.
    What would have made iTunes stop recognizing the system and the iTunes version associated with the music I bought? What prevents iTunes, at some future point, from suddenly not recognizing my right to play music I paid for and/or insisting that I upgrade something which had been working just fine--until I went online?
    Don't get me wrong--I've had Apples for almost 20 years. I have been a fervent supporter of Apples, have referred many people to Macs over the years, and have no intention of using Windows....Maybe that kind of loyalty is what gives the impression that I'll put up with whatever happens, unfair or not. A more accurate interpretation, however, would be that I'll just keep one Mac offline all the time so I can choose what software to upgrade, and when.
    But this is an iPod forum...and I digress...
    Thank you for your attempt to get to the bottom of this.

  • My itunes library has everything by artist name, yet when i sync my ipod to it, some songs are only visible in the song menu but not the artist menu, how do i fix this problem so that evry song is visible under the artist menu in my ipod

    I bought an ipod classic and got it 2day. I have over 18000 songs on my itunes and all the songs have all the correct info. I tried syncing my ipod today and all of the songs have gone onto my ipod.
    However my problem is that quite a few songs are not in the artist menu and only in the songs menu on the ipod, even though evry bit of information for the song is correct.
    I would like all my songs under the artist menu on my ipod as searching through the song menu is ridiculously time consuming.
    Can anyone fix my problem?

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • Ipod classic only shuffling some songs in playlist

    i have 655 songs in a playlist but ipod only shuffles 165 of the songs. i've set ipod to shuffle under settings and then once the playlist is highlighted i hit play. only 165 songs are listed and only 165 will shuffle. if i turn off the shuffle feature ipod will play all 655 songs by album, but i'd like the ipod to skip around and not play the albums sequentially. any ideas?

    Check the songs in your library. Under *File/Get Info/Options* is a tick-box called *Skip when shuffling.* Is there a tick in the box? If so, turn it off.
    Check this for one song. If that is the problem, you can then highlight all the songs in the playlist and go to the *File/Get Info/Options* (iTunes will ask if you wish to edit multiple entries - yes, you do!). When editing multiple items, for some reason the *Skip when shuffling* tick-box will also have a drop-down menu box. Even if it says No, (which it did when I tested this) select Yes, _then change it back_ to No and click OK.
    Sync your iPod and try the playlist again. When you play the first song in the playlist (on shuffle) does the display now say 1 of 655? It should.

  • Help - My 30 GB Ipod only downloads 342 songs...

    I have about 490 in my itunes Library, but everytime I go to update my Ipod it downloads 342 songs and then gets "stuck" on 343 and then starts making a grinding noise and freezes up. So then I have to go through the restore process only for it to happen again....and again....and again....and always gets stuck on song 343. I have tried every possible way to download the songs including manually and even by individual song, switching orders that I upload them, etc. But no matter what, #343 freezes it up.
    Suggestions please. Thank you in advance.

    Okay, then let's try a reinstall of iTunes.
    (Although you may have downloaded iTunesSetup.exe again onto your computer, it's not the same if you didn't remove iTunes+QuickTime off your computer using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility first. So try proceeding onto a full reinstall of iTunes here):
    Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
    Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
    Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    After you've done that, restart your computer.
    Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Now, restart your computer once more.
    After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

  • Ipod doesnt play some songs

    now whenever i play my ipod and select a song to play it just skips onto another song even though it used to play it fine the other day. it even skips songs belonging to a whole album and i have not changed any settings or anything! help pls!

    I don't know if my problem/solution will help in your case, but yesterday I purchased an album on itunes, and although it downloaded and played on itunes just fine, when it sync'd to my 60GB ipod, only some of the songs played. I tried restoring the ipod, but that did not solve the problem. So, while waiting to hear back from tech support, I decided to delete the entire album from both the music listing and the purchased music listing AFTER burning a CD (and making sure it was a good burn). I did a sync to make sure the listing was removed from the ipod, then imported the newly burned CD, did another sync, and voila! all the songs on the album now play without any skipping. Hopefully this will work with your problem (unless you're experiencing skipping on all your albums)
    Good luck!

  • Ipod stops during some songs

    When I play some songs, like about 5 or 6 songs, they stop in the middle of the song,and move on to the next. Is there something I can do about this problem?
    please help!

    Well, as anyone would say, you should first update your iPod to the latest software ( now 2.0.2 ). Also you should consider re-downloading those songs.
    Hope this helps,

  • IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

    The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

    I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
    Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
    With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

  • BMW iPod Touch interface: some songs start mid way but not all.

    Hi, I upgraded from an iPod Classic to an iPod touch 4th generration and since doing so some (not all) songs will start at various points in the song when connected to my BMW iPod interface cable, eg 3:20 into a song, then another one may start 10 secs into a song etc. Some songs start at the begininning. This never happened with the Classic.
    Any ideas please ?

    The classic most likely it was working using and over version of the itunes software, the new iPod you have is using a newer version  of the aple software, there are 2 solutions, downgrade the software on the new device
    or see if there is any update for the iPod interface in your vehicle, some can be remove out of the vehicle and
    plug into a computer using a usb cable
