IPod Video/iTunes including unchecked songs

I'm on my second iPod (my other one locks iTunes up whenever I connect it and I've never received an answer as to why or what to do) and I have noticed that songs are are (and were) unchecked in iTunes (such as Holiday songs that I don't want to hear right now but don't want deleted from iTunes) are showing up in my shuffle on the new iPod. I even doubled checked iTunes and they are still unchecked, so they should not be playing, right? My old iPod understood this. Is my new one just dumb or is it me?
Thanks!

Each iPod has it's own settings. Plug in the iPod. Go to it's settings in iTunes, and make sure you check the box that says "only synch checked songs" or whatever it says. Hope that helps.

  • Sync iPod Video- iTunes

    When I connect my iPod Video, iTunes, after trying to sync, says that the iPod can't be found, however the computer still detects it. What's wrong?

    When itunes states that it cannot detect the ipod, is the Do Not Disconnect still on the ipod screen?
    If not, how long does it take itunes to throw this error once the ipod is connected.

  • IPod nano issue with shuffle function--includes unchecked songs

    When I use "shuffle" on my Nano, it is including songs that I have deselected from my music library in iTunes (i.e. songs I don't want loaded to my Nano).
    Anyone know why this is happening? I thought unchecked songs weren't transferred to the device, yet I can play them on it?
    Is this a glitch or known error?
    Thanks for any help you can provide....

    Check the following:
    - Is the iPod full?
    - Is the iPod set to update automatically?
    - Is the iPods update behavior restricted to a certain number of playlists?
    - Rightclick the iPod in the sourcelist, hit update.
    - If nothing else works, try reformatting the iPod with the latest Updater

  • NEW IPOD VIDEO/ ITUNES ISSUES. HELP!!

    OK here is my problem. I recently recieved my IPOD Video. Attempted to sync with PC... everything ok. Then tried to sync w/ ITunes... Big problem apparently I need to format all my songs to a new AAC?? Not even sure what that means. Any suggestions? I called Apple and they said I would have to do this everytime I copied a cd to my ipod. Is that correct? If so, the IPod Video will be sent back. There has to be an easier way. Please help!

    I need to format all my songs to a new AAC
    That's not necessarily true. The don't NEED to be in AAC. They just need to be in a format that the iPod can play.
    There are several formats you can use.
    They are:
    AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF
    What format are your tracks in now?

  • IPod Nano + iPod Video + iTunes ?

    I currently have a 4GB Nano, and want to get the 30GB Video iPod. Is iTunes going to care which one I connect ? I mean, will switching back and forth between the two models cause any problems within iTunes? Thanks!!

    No problem at all. You can easily use multiple iPods with iTunes.

  • Ipod video reboots after every song with Logitech mm50 speakers

    Any idea why my ipod reboots after playing one song. It happens if I choose an album, a playlist or all songs. It doesn't matter if the speakers are fully charged and disconnected from the adaptor or plugged in to the AC. I've tried resetting the iPod many times, ordered a different set of speakers thinking they might have been defective. It doesn't happen when I'm using the headphones. I'm really stumped.

    Logitech replied to my question with a solution that worked, just in case anyone else is having this problem. There's a tiny reset button on the bottom of the mm50s. Take the iPod out with the speakers powered off. Turn the speakers on and hit the reset with a paper clip. They will reset then put the iPod back in and hit the power only once and it should work fine. This also took care of a problem with a staticy, lispy sound they were making.

  • IPod Video - iTunes - iPod Options - Videos - All options grayed out?

    So how do I get this so I can use it? Right now, I can only get videos on my iPod by dragging them onto the iPod (e.g. an iPod only playlist).
    This iPod options tab implies I could sync up using a directory, like with photos.
    Am I missing something?

    I mention Photos only because that works the way I'd expect - I tell it to sync with the "Pictures" directory on my hard drive, and every time I plug in the iPod, all new photos are sent over without me having to do anything. (Although it would be nice if photos handled more than one directory deep when browsing on the iPod, but since it's fast, it's good enough).
    I've got a directory on my hard drive called "Videos-Portable" that I'd like to point to, and have new videos transferred each time I plug in the iPod, preferably with at least one directory deep (like Photos).
    Music I can just copy over as I want it, since that's actually my least use of the iPod. But I'm willing to set music up so that I can get the videos sync'd the way I want (like the way Photos works). I just transferred a couple thousand songs over to the iPod, and given the iTunes question that popped up when I attempted to switch the synch type (and then cancelled), it sounds like it's going to delete all the music I just transferred, but I'm willing to do this once again if it means I get what I want from Videos.
    Makes sense?

  • Problem to showing ilustration album ipod video itunes 7

    Hello, I am an usuary registrered on itunes store,I copy the album ilustrations and paste into the songs of the ipod, but my ipod don´t show it, and when I try to pick in the option of showing album ilustrarion in the ipod options inside itunes 7 it gaves me error -50.
    I´m spanish and i don´t know if you understand me, but i need help with this.

    okay yo tuve el mismo problema con el ipod, cuando tratava de actualizar salia el error -50, es un problema pero hay varias soluciones...Es una falla en la version 1.2 con el itunes 7.
    dos formas
    1.- Bajate el antiguo itunes 6.0.5 y ahi pon otra vez la opcion de mostrar los album art y funciona. (a mi me funciono, y es mas rapido y simple)
    2.-Es mas dificil pero funciona. Tienes que copiar la musica de tu ipod a tu computadora, poner a tu ipod en factory settings y actualizar otra vez el ipod, luego pones otra ves la musica y el album art aparece otra vez(eso funciona si tienes 30GB de espacio libre en el disco duro)

    iTunes is the only way.
    What is the error message? Also, right click the videos and go to convert for iPod.
    Try to transfer then.

  • Ipod and itunes skip over songs

    I just bought the new Metric album and my itunes as well as my Ipod classic are skipping over 2 songs. Do I need to redownload these two songs or this a problem with the software? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

    Yes. I would start by redownloading these tracks if they cannot be played either in iTunes or on your iPod.

  • IPod and iTunes library skip songs bought from iTunes

    I just bought the song "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes and a few other songs from itunes. All my other songs play just fine, but Wanted won't. Everytime I go to play it in my itunes library it says: "This computer is not authorized to play 'Wanted'. Would you like to authorize it?" so I type my username and password and hit the "authorize" button, and it says: "This computer is authorized" so I go to play it again and the same thing happens all over again. Then when I go to play it on my iPod, it skips over it and won't play. Does anyone know what to do? It annoys me that a song a PAYED for won't work.

    Remove the downloaded purchase and then redownload it at no cost via iCloud. This has fixed this authorization issue for a number of users.
