Itunes does not update playlists properly on the ipod touh 4g - help??

Hi Guys,
Newbie here. Thanks for the help in advance.
I have an ipod touch 4g with the latest 5.1 OS update and the latest itunes installed 10.6.1.7 on my computer.
I usually make and edit playlists on my computer/itunes and then sync it with the ipod.
Lately what itunes has started doing is that it syncs the songs and other things like i want to but when it comes to playlists it will either sync playlists to the ipod with a couple of songs missing from the original playlists or only a couple of songs or just a playlist with no songs . The playlists look fine on the itunes but not on the ipod. The songs are physically there on the ipod and it syncs them fine but not the playlists. Some playlists are okay other are not. No consistency. Sometimes this and sometimes that.
Has anybody got any ideas why it is likely doing this?? software screwup?? some option that i am not selecting or something??

okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone.  However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices.  The calendar seems to be working.  Any suggestions?

    I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone.  However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices.  The calendar seems to be working.  Any suggestions?

    On the iMac and MacBook open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Contacts, then reselect it then restart the Macs.
    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Contacts off then back on then restart the iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

    My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

    YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
    I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
    HAve written to Transmit for their input.

  • I cleared the cache and my site does not update!  What's the secret?

    I cleared the cache and my site does not update! What's the secret? I created a second website and bought a domain name. You can get to the site by it's mac name or the purchased domain name. I linked the domain name and with my server and it works. The site comes up wither way. BUT, either way, I cannot get my changes to appear. I had realized that my links were not working because I had placed them within the header. So, I moved the links out of the header, republished, and now the new pages (with links in body of website) will not load. Here are the two ways to get to see the site. Both show the old way (links in header). What is up with me not being able to see the changes in either Firefox or Safari?

  • TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

  • My iTunes does not update the album covers properly.

    I have the album covers in the same file location as the MP3 songs, and each album is located in a different file location, but iTunes does not load my album covers automatically. half the time I have to load the album cover from my library manually.
    I have authorised the computer, re-installed iTunes, manually selected all songs and updated album covers in the advace section. Nothing works.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Manual sync to ITunes does not update music

    I have a generation 3 (I think--it looks like the model number is A1318) IPOD Touch running version 4.1 operating system.  I have ITunes version 12.0.1.26. 
    It does not automatically sync.  When I select manual sync, it appears to go through the process and indicates that it has completed the sync, but nothing has changed.  It does not update the IPOD with new songs from my library.
    Any help would be appreciated.  For example are thees operating systems compatible?  If they are what am I doing wrong.
    Thanks

    Try backing up to iTunes and restore from backup

  • TS2529 itunes does not let me restore from the last backup of my recently upgraded to 5.1 iphone

    I recently updated from 4.2.1 to 5.1 and now itunes does not show me the "restore from the backup of..." option. It doesn't even let me restore from any backup. I found the backup in the library and made a backup of it just in case. How can I restore from this backup if Itunes doesn't give me the option?
    Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    go to iTunes/Settings and see if "Apps" is selected in General/Show:
    If yes, your App folder should be listed under "library" in the left window in iTunes again.
    There is no extra App folder listed when you click on your device in the device list.
    German version:
    Im Menü iTunes/Einstellungen/Allgemein nachschauen, ob bei "Anzeigen" die Auswahl "Apps" aktiviert ist. Danach sollte der App Ordner unter dem Punkt "Mediathek" wieder auftauchen.
    Wenn das Telefon in der Geräteliste markiert ist, gibt es den App Ordner nur auf der rechten Seite.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

  • Lync for Mac 2011 does not update Presence properly.

    Hello all,
    I work in a Enterprise environment, we run Active Directory and bind our Macs to the domain. We use Lync for Mac, and I've noticed that on the Mac clients, the user status does not update accordingly. When my users are in a conference call, it shows
    available, etc. It works fine on a Windows machine with that same user.
    If the event is on the Outlook calendar, sometimes it will show them as away during that time period, but it does not seem to update when on the phone/in a meeting, etc.
    Any advice would be appreciated, my user is on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Lync 14.0.8.
    Thank you,
    Michael

    We are seeing the exact same thing at our company.   A hundred or more Macs all with broken presence.
    Its issues like this that have us looking at Jabber now - Cisco doesn't seem to have buggy OS X software like Microsoft.    That will be 40,000+ seats lost due to this and other issues.    Maybe if enough hit MS in their pocketbook
    they will start paying more attention to Macs.. or at least test them before rolling out software.
    Note a few things regarding our setup:
    1. Our Lync is on-prem 2010 and 2013 mix
    2. Our email is in 365
    3. We are using ADFS and FIM for SSO, Dirsync. 
    4. We do not domain join our Macs.  (back when Lion wrecked all our domain joined accounts we stopped with that foolish practice)
    It worked with previous versions of Lync 2011. 
    It works for zero Lync 2011 users.   Lync 2013 on-prem domain joined machines work.   We see the same thing where a Mac users also logged into 2013 on a Windows machine will help update the Lync 2011 client... but its not an acceptable work-around.
      I suspect its having difficulties with the external cert.

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.
