Ipod suffle doesnt recognize mucic

I just got a new ipod shuffle and it works how it should, mostly. There is a group of song that it just doesnt play. Everytime I put them on the ipod and hit play, it says "please use itunes to sync music"
At first i though it might be the file format, but it is the same as others that the ipod does regonize. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

If you use the "convert to AAC" setting on the iPod's Summary tab, you may get some loss in audio quality on the songs that are converted, because you are converting from one "lossy" format to another one.  For the "good" songs, you should avoid this...
There is a command in iTunes to convert specific MP3 songs to AAC.  You can right-click on the song in the iTunes window to see this command, Create AAC Version.  NOTE:  You can change the settings for the conversion in iTunes preferences, General tab, Import Settings button.

  • Multiple ipods; itunes doesnt recognize one

    Hey everyone. I have had a 4 gen. ipod for quite a while now and I just got a 5 gen. 80 gig ipod as a gift. My problem is when I plug the new ipod in, it shows on my desktop but not in itunes. When I plug it in, it says "The iPod Rob's iPod is in use by another user on this computer," when my older iPod has a completely different name. I have no idea what is going on, I have been looking through the forums for quite a while so I didn't post a duplicate question, but I didn't find any situations like mine. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Rob

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

  • When connecting IPOD to pc it doesnt recognize it said to try again nothing

    I bought my daughters the 7th generation IPOD nanos, when connecting to PC it said it doesnt recognize them, disconnect try again but it still does the same thing. Also we verified accts for yahoo and ITunes they have money in their acct's however when we try to click buy it does nothing any help on this?

    When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart.
    Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
    If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

    my ipod suffle 4th gen doesnt appear on my computor or itunes?

    Hey there micmitzee,
    It sounds like your iPod Shuffle is not being seen in either Windows or in iTunes. I would use the following article to help troubleshoot that named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Here is step one to get you started, but there are additional troubleshooting steps within, if needed:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Laptop doesnt recognize iPod Nano

    I have big problem. That other seems to have also. The computer doesnt recognize the iPod nano. I have a week with it and it worked well for a few days but I think that after upgrading the iTunes it stopped working. Now when I pugged in the USB port it says it has a Massive Storage Devoce like if were a USB Key. Before it used to show an iPod on my computer and on iTunes but now it doesnt. It seems like it assigns a wrong driver to it.
    I tryed to do all the steps, resteing, trying other usb ports, restarting the pc, reinstalling the software (iPod and iTunes) and nothing. I even disable the USB power saving option because Im working with a laptop.
    All these already donde
    1. Reset your iPod.
    2. Retry with a different USB port.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software.
    5. Restore your iPod.

    Do you also have the little charging symbol on the iPod?
    Yes, and it charges well
    Do you have songs on the iPod?
    Yes like 2.85 MB that I syncronized in the first week that worked fin
    Did it ever work?
    Yes for a week

    my  5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do?  it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

    Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
    Try:
    Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
    Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If not successful, try DFU mode.
