Is this possible to do with my ipod touch on itunes?
Hello there,
In work, myself and some colleagues do a "no skip friday" - we shuffle the entire playlist and are not allowed to skip tracks until the end of the day. A little silly, yes, but it means we keep rediscovering songs we never knew we owned.
My question is - I aim to make this a little more random. I'd like to randomly fill my ipod on friday morning with songs from my library, then when I come home, put the original songs back on my ipod. I think that, if I created a playlist with my current ipod library on it, synced it with my pc, then did autofill (although this advice came from an owner of an ipod shuffle, I'm not sure if this is available to the touch) - and when I'm done with the randomness, I can put the old playlist back on?
Hope this makes sense...
+if I created a playlist with my current ipod library on it, synced it with my pc+,
This is the step I'm not too sure about. Since I don't have an iTouch. I have a nano, and when I plug it in, the music tab has a checkbox to automatically fill free space. So, I could check that for the Friday experiment and then uncheck it when I was done, and not bother making some kind of playlist htat has what is already getting synced to the nano.

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost
It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes
I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.
What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?
Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Neither the macbook nor ipod touch are new, and I'm using the cable provided with the ipod touch as normal and so was just hoping someone could explain what might be causing this? thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions, tried all those but no luck until I tried another cable. Also found another thread on here with a similar complaint that suggested cleaning the cable/ipod connection which I've now done which seems to have done the trick-thanks again! -

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???
How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!) And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
