Ipod's playlist wont change

I try to move around my songs on itunes to however i like but then i eject ipod and disconnect from my computer yet the songs are in the same order as when they were in itunes. How do you make the changes stick?

I ended up fixing the problem by going back to version 8.0.2 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL735), but it was a somewhat of a pain.
I did read something on another post that in version 8.1.1, after you organize the playlist on the 2nd gen view, you can right click on the device (left column) and click "Copy to Play Order". I'm not sure why it would be called that or why you'd have to go through the extra step. I am still too gun shy to go from a working version (8.0.2) to a broken one then back again.

  • My playlists wont play in order on ipod playlist. why?

    My playlists wont play on my touch in the same order as they show on the touch playlist scheme.Why? & ive gone onto ituned & clicked on orderofplay!

    With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
    Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore its Audiobooks options and use my own playlists for access.

    To get reid of the Restrictions passcoe you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  You should do that anyway since the apps and music (if any) on the iPod do not belong to you.  They did not transfer with the purchase of the iPod hardware.

  • The year on my ipod wont change back to 2012 it keeps going back 2513 help!

    Hi my ipod 2nd gen time is messed up. The date and month is fine but the year has changed to 2513 and it wont change back to 2012 it just changes back straight away please help! what can I do?

    If you head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time is it set to Automatic?  Head to Settings -> General -> International -> Calendars and make it is set to Gregorian.
    It might not hurt to reset the iPod as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist.  However, the song is stored on the iPod once.  What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

  • Ipod screen says 'connected' and wont change.

    I connected my ipod to my computer and then pulled it out without ejecting it. Now the screen wont change from the 'connected' screen. I cant turn it off and pressing any buttons wont help.
    i've restarted my computer but whenever i connect it again it says USB Device Not Recognised.
    what do i do?

    Hello Chudo,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried a simple reset of the iPod? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off a few times, then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You may want to try this a couple of times if no luck on the first.
    Another possibility is to try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and see if that helps.

  • My ipod has a blank white screen and wont change no matter what i press or try.. what should i do?

    my ipod has a blank white screen and wont change no matter what i press or try.. what do i need to do?

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    If still problem  that indicates a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

    So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

    It might be one of two things.
    I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
    Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
    Or i might be misunderstanding.
    You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

  • Ipod Service error, Wont go away

    ive tried everything.
    I did every step on that document that tells you how to fix it, i restarted, turned off all system services (other than MS ones), but nothing will work, i keep getting ipod service error.
    I've removed/reinstalled itunes/ipod about 20 times, did a system restore, but nothing.
    When I plug ipod in it says do not disconnect and that wont change either. I'm really stuck
    Is there anything else i could try???
    I just dont understand.
    Thanks

    nope, still no luck, i turned off the service, restarted, same thing.
    What could possibly be wrong, it worked before!!
    all i did was upgrade to the new itunes, downloaded the new updater and now nothing will run right

    My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?
