Ipod sync mode and uploading semantics

first time ipod owner and i can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere..
i uploaded some of my itunes playlists onto my ipod touch.. now let's say i erase and/or add songs onto the playlist on my computer, will this be updated next time i sync my ipod up ?

Hello LesZZZ,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
It depends on you have your iPod set up to sync with your iTunes library, which will either be automatically or manually? If it is set to sync manually, it should auto update itself the next time you sync your iPod.
If you manually manage your iPod (meaning you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled from under the Summary tab, then you will have to remove the playlist and add the new version the next time your iPod is hooked up to iTunes. Manual management requires you to drag items to your iPod and manually remove them as well.

Syncing iphone and uploading music to iMac from phone

We're trying to upload music from an iphone and also sync the iphone to an imac...
We seem to be missing a step in the work flow to make this happen...
We are also syncing this phone to this iMac for the first time.
We also want to make sure we don't lose the music, since it's original.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Are you trying to copy music from your iPhone onto your mac? iTunes will not let you do that, it only lets you move music from your computer to your iPhone - one way - or delete it from your iPhone.
Have you synced the iPhone with any other computer in the past? Your iPhone will be linked to your iTunes account. If you try to link it to another account iTunes will wipe the phone first.

My iPod synced automatically and now I can't play songs on iTunes.

I used to play my songs from my iPod all the time on iTunes. One day, I connected my iPod to my computer to charge it up and it started to sync automatically for no reason and now I can't seem to 'rewind' this and go back to the way things were.
What has happened? I have never synced my songs before (at least I don't think I have) but my songs on my iPod are very light in color and are non-playable on both of my computers now. :o(

B-rock,
Thank you for replying to the issue I am having with my iPod. I think I may have tried to download an update for the iPod on iTunes, but I never completed the download or installed it, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it?? I don't know if I should try to restore it to it's original settings or if that will delete all the songs I have on there. When I uncheck the sync button it deletes everything, so I know I can't do that option.
I don't think my kids have downloaded a newer version of iTunes on this computer and I know I didn't on my laptop, so that rules that possibility out.
It is just the craziest thing. They are there one day, then one a different day, I plug it in to charge and bam, it starts to sync out of the blue, and I have no control over what is happening.
I am not one that is very 'iPod literate' so I have no clue what it means to 'sync' the music, so in a nutshell, I'm not even sure what really happened when my music synced..... I know how to create the playlists, add the music, add the pictures, and do the basic stuff, but when it comes to BIG stuff, my kids know more than I do.... :o/

Why won't my ipod sync music and movies

I have had my ipod classic for a while (bout a year) and it was skipping songs so I decided to restore it....now it won't sync my music or my video's. anyone got any ideas

Have you tried setting your iPod to manually add songs or videos. I found the whole sync thing to be a broken feature that only works when it wants to. With manual you can add any song or video without relying on sync.

I am going bloody mad as three times now I have reloaded my iphone 4 with 30 gigs of music and when I even try and add a new album, it goes into massive sync mode and then looses the lot! I retore to earlier that day and practically nothing.

I have now 3 times added nearly 30 gigs of music onto this **** Iphone 4, then when it decides by itself to sync it goes into a massive re-sync then looses the lot. I restore it and in iTunes It shows that the music is on my phone, but nothing works and then it reverts to about 60megs of music and the **** lot has gone again. I am really getting upset that I can spend 12 hours adding the music back on only for it all to disappear in 12 seconds and wont come back again. I have manage music and videos ticked and all the music is ticked in my library, I have tried un-ticking and re-ticking but it simply does not work. please can anyone help as I am at the point of binning Apple for Samsung as its happening to lots of people I know with nothing coming from Apple on why?
Thanks
Steve

You have fallen for the great Verizon Wireless Lie, most customers don't use over 2Gb and its a better plan, and unlimited is unsustainable yada yada yada.
However your choices were getting new devices for cheap so if you paid full price for your device at $700 each, you would have kept unlimited and paid no $30 upgrade fee. Per line.
Now add up the additional cost of that data usage and it is way over the cost of what paying full price would have cost you.
and being in a contract with an early termination fee it all adds up.
Verizon claims unlimited data is unsustainable, but you can see its sustainable only when you get charged mucho bucks in $10-$15 overages per GB.
Good Luck

How can I make my iPod sync automatically?

When I first got my iPod I chose for it NOT to sync automatically but I should have. I have no idea how to get back to those settings but want to change it so it syncs on it's own. I've read a few topics here and noticed stuff about Summary tabs but the thing is, I have nothing like that on mine, I have no setting options whatsoever. I tried registering my iPod on here to see if that would do something but the thing is, it asked for payment details but I don't want to pay for anything. I don't use the iTunes store to download my music, I transfer it from another downloading software.
So, my question is - how do I make my iPod sync automatically and how do I find these 'settings' that everybody else appears to have?

Connect your iPod to the computer. That will cause

No it doesn't. Instead I have a screen with a picture advertising 3 different iPods.

Sync contacts and calendar

I have a iPod 5th Gen Video and a iPod Touch. When I try to sync contacts and calendar it does not work. I get a message pop up saying "cannot sync calendar. Log out & log back in". I am using Windows Vista and the latest iTunes and Outlook 2003.
Now at work I use Win XP and Outlook 2003 and both iPods sync contacts and calendar from Outlook perfectly. So is this an issue with Vista?
Any help will be appreciated.

Zen Vision M Stuck in Sync Mode after rest

Hi,I'm not sure if the problem's with the Zen or with Vista, but when the Zen's docked it shows the sync screen (all the time, is this normal?) and then when I restart the computer (or put it to 'sleep' and 'wake it up') the zen gets stuck in sync mode, and the reset button must be pushed. I'm guessing this must be a problem with it not recognising that the computer's shutting down and getting confused.Any ideas?Tom

Support told me to reformat, however that gave me the message "Harddisk Problem", so I ended up having to send it in for repair. Hopefully yours will work.

Help: Capturing photos from camera while iPod sync

Big problem...
I started my canon sd600 camera to start capturing 90 pictures from my wife's birthay, but I was also sincronizing my ipod and both libraries are in an external LaCie drive.
Immediately after I turned on camera, the iPod Sync failed and also all pictures within iPhoto dissapeared... they were showing an admiration mark... I could only see the pictures just imported from the camera...
The only way I was able to see all pictures was to quit iPhoto and choose again the library. However, when I did this... there were NO pictures just captured!!!!!
Sadly I selected to delete the pictures in my camera after downloading them... Now I lost 90 pictures...
I believe they have to be somewhere since they were effectively captured... just need help to find them!
Can anyone of you friends help me?

Do a search on Macupdate using 'recover photos' and you'll get a lot of suggestions for Software that will recover the photos from your card.

How to transfer files from my ipod classic to itunes on a new computer? I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.

I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.
now I have a new computer - andI want to transfer those files to my itunes.
BUT I can only transfer music I bought through the Apple store.
That's WRONG!
I spent money on cds - yes I'm old fashioned.
I want to listen to audiobooks on my CD so that's how they were recorded onto itunes and sync'd to my ipod.
Now it's a waste if I press the sync button!
I spent hours downloading cds to itunes on the other computer - which I will be getting rid of soon.
Please help.

Help with used iPod I just got - syncing and uploading a LOT of CD's

Hello All:
So I just brought a used iPOD on Ebay, and i'm totally new to using them. I believe it's the 6th generation classic, 80GB, black. I have two questions.
1) I get the message in itunes that only one library can be synced, do I want to erase the ipod and upload the library thats on my laptop. I assume this is some kind of copyright thing, and that theres no way to save the songs that are on the iPod to the laptop, since they were loaded onto the iPod by the previous owner?
2) I have about fifty CD's here I want to load onto the iPod. In my mind, i'm thinking I want to backup the iPod with all 50 CD's onto an external USB hard drive. I don't really want 80GB of data on the laptop internal hard drive that I use all the time. I poked around with iTunes for about a half-hour, and I can't see how to load CD's onto the iPod without loading the CD's onto the laptop internal hard drive and then syncing the iPod to load the CD's onto it. Forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to load CD's directly from the laptop CD-ROM drive to the iPod without going onto the laptop internal har drive first, and/or can I use iTunes on the laptop with an external USB hard drive and/or then go from the external hard drive to the iPod or from the iPod first to the external hard drive to backup the iPod?
THANK YOU,
Lee Bernhang

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
thanks to my dad. (: lol. hope this helps someone!

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.
