Itunes in order, but ipod not

I have an album in my itunes library with 20 songs in it. I placed them all in the order i like and selected 1 of 20, 2 of 20 and so forth! But when i sync my ipod, all the tracks are all mixed up. Is there a way to have them in the order i have in itunes on my ipod, instead of all mixed up?

No, they're not. I just checked again. They're completely mixed. For instance it starts with three songs from Artist A, then there's a handful from Artist E, then a couple from Artist N, then a couple from Artist A again! Two more from Artist S, then another handful from Artist N. Followed by another from Artist E.
I've gone through the whole thing making sure there are no spaces in the info that I may have missed that could cause them to seperate, and there were none.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not. 2nd gen nano

My wife has a 2nd gen nano that will not sync. Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not, you can scroll through the menus and use it like it was not connected. When I first connect it, the do not disconnect sign appears then after a few seconds the main menu. She has used it for 2 years and it worked fine until today.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3. iTunes sorts them by month/day/year. How can I fix that?

The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

the best way would be to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.

that tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, not where the content currently is.

Playlist order on iPod not same as iTunes

I have a 80-ish song playlist. I will occasionally go into the list in itunes and re-shuffle it. On subsequent sync's however, the ipod will revert to the old shuffled order which does not match the itunes order. I have tried copying the playlist and renaming it and deleting the old one. But it just did it again. I am stumped. How is it continuing to revert to the order on the ipod that is no longer on itunes? This is not a shuffle/random issue, but a playlist version issue. Thanks.

In iTunes select the playlist name and *Copy to play order* then sync.
Or you can just go set Settings -> Shuffle* to Songs on the iPod and play the playlist.

Need to restore but iPod not recognized in iTunes

I have the black iPod Classic 80GB for over two years and now it's getting some problems:
First, after it synced it would automatically eject, then go into "ejected charging mode" if I left it plugged in. I thought nothing of this, really.
Second, when plugged in the iPod screen goes to the one where it says, "Connected: Eject before disconnecting," but does not appear in my iTunes or in My Computer under my iPod's name and its drive.
I unplugged and rebooted my iPod since it froze, then plugged it back in, but it just did some cycle of the "Connected", "Ejecting", and "OK to disconnect" screens, but it never disconnected, but instead went back to "Connected", then repeats.
Now I plugged it in again and iTunes says it can't play the files on it, so I have to restore it. Problem is, it doesn't show up in my iTunes at all! However, it shows up in My Computer.
Help please?

If you're under warranty, exchange it! I did this today after appt at store, delted all apps and reloaded, with the same result. Technician informed me that Classics (I have 120GB) have a firmware issue that cannot be updated externally, so they exchange them with a new one.

My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected. The audio output is also affected. You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside. So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer. It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one. You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again. If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

ITunes pops up but does not recognize IPOD

I have a 40g IPOD and I've just installed the new Itunes 5 on my computer. Like most people I've had nothing but trouble so far. When I plug in my IPOD Itunes comes up but my IPOD doesn't show up. Any ideas whats wrong?

Please only post your topic once.

Itunes shows ordered tracks, ipod is mixed 101,201,301,102,202 etc.

I have a 120 GB classic. I like downloading audiobooks, but since I can't use the audiobook section of the ipod without having downloaded them from itunes, I use the music section... I have gone through all the trouble to name all my tracks by cd# along with track #..... cd 1 track 1 is called 101, cd 2 track 12 is called 212... This should keep things in order, but for what ever reason, the tracks order themselves as such...101,201,301,401,102,202,302,402,103..etc. That is not how they are set up in itunes, only on the ipod. When I first got this ipod this did'nt happen, since then I have gotten a new computer.. All my info has alway been on external hard drives, rather than storing the actually info in itunes.
I have searched through the forums, and tried as many things as I can.. Thanks for any help

Purchased Pages 09 yesterday. It shows up in my iTunes purchase history, but is not in my App Store list of purchased apps. It was purchased and downloaded to my 13 macbook. I want to install it on my iMac, but can't do so until I see it in App Store.

I purchased Pages 09 through the App Store on June 22 from my Macbook. It downloaded and installed, but is not in my list of AppStore purchases. I need it to show up in my App Store purchase history, so that I may download and install to my iMac where I do more of my work when at home. THe app does not show up in App Store purchase history on either machine, however it does show up as purchased under my iTunes account. Yes, I could probably just copy the application from one machine to the other, but if it doesn't show up as an App Store purchase I won't receive any product updates.
Should I refute the credit card charge through my credit card company to get Apple to fix the issue?

(2) That option partially works, but is not acceptable in the long term.
(3) I do indeed now have the application on both machines. If I look for the Pages 09 application in the App Store application, it shows up as installed. However, it does not show up in my purchase history! This is critical as far as I'm concerned because I will not see security updates or feature updates unless it shows up as purchased from the App Store. In fact, I'm hoping that I'll get a free upgrade to Pages 11 (if it comes out soon) based on how recent I've made the purchase of Pages 09.
(1) good news
(2) I can't decide for you. Remember that I am an end user like you.
(3) (a) I never saw security update applied to an iWork application.
(b) for the update, as the app if flagged as installed you will get the update if Apple deliver an ultimate one (update 9.0.6)
(c) don't dream. Apple never did that. What they do is to deliver a free upgrade to buyers of a machine when the corresponding order was delivered after the product announcement (example : Lion if you order a mac to morrow)
Pages '11 (maybe it will be Pages '12) will not be an update but an upgrade and in such case, we must pay.
I got the described behavior for the app named "The Unarchiver" and, applying what I described, the app behave now as it must do.
