Ipod wont register what songs i have listened to?

i've had an ipod nano for a few years now and it work fine up until a few months ago when it froze on me. i was able to reset it and it still works but i have recently noticed that when i connect my ipod to my computer to charge it wont register want songs i have listened to (for example the play count or when it was last played) it's not much of a problem cause i can still listen to it but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Your sync settings may have changed. I have my ipod to NOT automatically sync and it never tells iTunes how many times I have played the song. But because I have my iPhone sync, it tells the computer how many times I listen to the songs.
I do not know if this will help you, but it may point you in the right direction.

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space

Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space. It seems to be deleting tracks which I can then download from iCloud (if there is wifi) but I dont want that

Seems like you have the incorrect sync settings
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Many users think it is easer to sync if Show All is turned off in Settings>iTunes and App Store

My ipod wont charge , what do i do ? it isnt my cord either

my ipod wont charge , what do i do ? it isnt my cord either

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Is there a way for your backup to remember what songs you have downloaded with itunes match

i use itunes match, but i download the songs to my device as i have spotty service where i work and live.
i am upgrading to a larger size iphone and dont want to have to search through itunes match again and select all the songs i want to download again once i get the new phone. is there a way that itunes match will "remember" what song i have downloaded to my device and "re-download" them to the new device?
maybe via a playlist then just download the playlist? this seems like a lenghty way of doing it though.
anyhelp, tips or advice would be greatly appreciate. thanks

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Ipod wont register

hi my ipod wont register
when i get to the page saying ipod software licence agremant and click the checkbox nothing happens why is this?

Hello Neal,
There should be a Continue button in the lower right hand corner of the window you need to continue to continue and complete the registration process. If you are unable to see this button, try adjusting your monitor's resolution.

Itunes radio just scans all of the songs I have listened to

itunes radio just scans all of the songs I have listened to on a radio station instead of playing new songs. It locks up itunes and I have to power off and reboot my ipad. I never had this problem before I downloaded an IOS update recently (7.1.0??) Anyone else experiencing this?? Greg

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old com[puter, to your new one.

How come my ipod wont sync new songs?

my ipod touch wont sync new songs but they appare on itunes when its connected but when i disconect it there not there can some one help me?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

6th gen nano. will not remember which song I was on if paused (sleep) or turned off. Defaults to some random song in list and to shuffle mode. I have to go back to songlist and try to remember what song I was listening to (ridiculous). Any way to fix?

I tried just leaving the player in the paused/sleep mode instead of turning it off (someone said it will stay on the song you were just listening to--but no). Still goes back to nowhere (now playing = random and shuffle). I've read that this is a serious problem with the 6th gen. I don't use or like the shuffle feature. I use a sort list in my songlists to play in the order I want. I just want the player to remember which song I left off on and pick it back up from there when I get back to it. I have a 5th gen nano and 2 classics and they work great at going right back to where you left off. Seems like a no brainer to have it remember which song you were on in a songlist and not go back to a random shuffle (now playing) and hear the same song over. Anyone know any tricks to resolve this?
Thanks
Rob

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

HELP! I have just changed my email address ad now i cant sync my ipod with the new songs I have bought

when I changed my e-mail address and got a new computer so I have downloaded iTunes and it recognizes my iPod but when I have bought 3 new songs it wouldn't let me sync the songs onto my iPod. Have tried clicking 'transfer songs' but it wont work. I don't know what else to do these are really good songs AND I've paid for them and I need them for my work. Please help, thanks for anyone who does, lauren

So basically you are trying to sync your Nano on a new computer/iTunes library? iPods are designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.
To add new content to the iPod, you'll need to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes. However, if you have content on your iPod that needs to be copied to iTunes first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

IPod wont show artist songs w/o album

so ive noticed that when im using my iPod ill select an artist to listen to and some of my artists have album info while others dont (mostly because theyre singles or whatever). The problem is, when i select the artist, it will only show the songs with album iformation, so i cant scroll down to find the other songs w/o an ablum that i want to listen to. The only way ive been able to look for those songs is if i hit the play button while the selector is over the artist name, but then i have to press "next track" a whole bunch to hear the one song i want to listen to at that time. Is there an update that I am missing that fixes this problem?

yeah, this irks me as well. I have like 30 some b-sides by my favorite band and i wanted to just throw them in my ipod without album name so that i could see them below the album titles in the artist part. didnt work, so i just "made up" a b-sides album and put them all in there that way

Ipod wont register what songs i have listened to?
