IPod transfer problems Help!

Most of the songs in my library transfer to my 60g Ipod... but random songs just dont show up in my library! and its not just certain artists, some random songs just dont show up on the ipod that are in my itunes library! if you have any help i would really appreciate it!

Are the songs that don't show up purchased from iTunes, from ripped CDs, from Limewire, ?

  • 2nd Generation Ipod Touch Problem- Help please!

    Hello,
    I have a brand new ipod touch 2nd generation and when I start a podcast, only on occassion, the play icon in the top right corner blinks very rapidly and the podcast does not play at all. It as as though the ipod touch is playing and stopping play of the podcast at very high speeds! When I push the home button, and try to get back into my music list, the same problem occurs. When I hit the home button, the arrow for play is still blinking rapidly and then I have to restart my ipod touch. It is very frustrating as I can't play the podcasts that I have enjoyed on my ipod classic!
    Please help me!

    Hi Arran,
    Try Resetting Network Settings on the iPhone, go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.

  • Ipod transfer problems

    I don't know what sort of Ipod I have. It's got a long screen and a circular button at the bottom with menu play rewind and fastforward options. I just reset my IMac back to factory settings. I tried to log into my itunes but it keeps telling me I don't exist, then lets me in only to kick me out again. It tells me I have to sync my ipod for use with this computer but that it'll errase all the data saved to the ipod. I'm currently downloading the new itunes 10 becuause mine keeps freezing the computer. I've had to do three manual shutdowns. All I want is to transfer the digital video copies I have on my ipod to the Mac. How do I do this? If I manually try to download them, it freezes and I have to shut down. Also,  is there a way to make my ipod work with both Mac and Windows if I'm running Itunes on both?

    To extract iPod video to Mac, you need 3rd Party Software, iTunes can't do it, google CopyTrans
    To make iPod accesible to both Mac and Windows, you have to reformat the iPod to FAT32, using either DiskUtility or just connect your iPod to Windows iTunes and it will Reformat it FAT32 filesystem. However all your data, songs, video will be erased during the format.
    Mac and Windows recognised FAT32 hardisk, but Windows don't recognise MAC HFS+ filesystem (journelled)
    Have a nice day!

    Try resetting your iPod:
    Move the hold switch back and forth so that it ends up in the "Off" position (no orange color showing).
    Then, hold the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see an Apple logo on the screen.
    Then release the buttons, and let the iPod start back up... and your iPod should be back up and running.
    Best wishes,

  • IMOVIE08/IPHOTO08 TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!

    IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
    much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

    I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

    Hey lightc,
    If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz

    There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
    You really should be backing up your data on your computer.

  • IPod photo transfer problem

    I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPod to a computer. When I connect the iPod to its home computer, the box to use the iPod as a disk drive and the box to include full size photos are both checked. When I open the iPod drive icon in 'My Computer' there is a folder named Photos, but the only things inside are a file named 'Photo Database' and a folder named 'Thumbs.' Inside the Thumbs folder there are various fairly large '.ithmb' files, but there is no sign of any standard photo formats. Any thoughts on what might be going on or how to get my photos would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    If you are only seeing a folder for Thumbs then it sounds like the the "Include Full Resolution photos" box was unchecked when the photos were added. iTunes has only added "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.

  • Ipod touch itunes help needed.

    I purchased an album of ITunes the other day on my ipod touch and downloaded it. After a couple of hours of listening to it I got a notification for the latest update. After install my latest purchase disappeared from my music. I tried going to the iTunes app and redownloading it but when I clicked on the cload symbol it just said already downloaded. No problem I thought so I loaded iTunes on my Mac and tried to transfer it that way. I get the copying to my ipod come up for the correct amount of songs but it still doesn't show at all on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Btw I can still play the album in iTunes on my mac fine.

  • HT4436 I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same.

    I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

    You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher.  You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes.  Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline.  Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library.  Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
    When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer.  At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier.  Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
    This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".
