ITunes music will play on iTunes but will not play in my iPod

I downloaded music from iTunes. It plays on my computer and shows up on my iPod. However, it will not play. When I attempt to play the iPod says "now playing" skipping all 25 tracks. The music is in the purchased, artist, music, etc. folders.
Any thoughts?

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open up music i purchased on itunes. I started having this problem when I updated my ipod

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
Thanks

I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!

I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store. You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Mp2 files plays in iTunes, but does not transfer to my iPod

Hi, I have been recording digital radio programs using my Cyrus DAB 8.0. The recordings are on a SD card and are in mp2 format. These easily transfer into iTunes, but do not transfer to my iPod. How can I overcome this. I guess I have to convert the mp2 files, but I do not want to lose quality. The files are sampled at 192KHz. Would they play on an Apple TV? Any help and suggestions please?

You can convert your MP2 files into Apple Loseless. Those files are playable on the iPod and also its a uncompressed format. To do that, you'll have to change some preferences. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Import. You can change the conversion format there. To convert the songs, select all the songs that you want to convert. Then option click on the selection. There is the convert to Apple Lossless option. And you can delete the old files if you want to.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod classic latest version not recognized in itunes also downloaded 400 plus songs, can play them in itunes but can not download on to ipod any idears /

latest 6th gen 160 gb ipod not recognized in itunes, have done all the checks, has been confirmed in itunes sync, Also down loaded 470 new songs into itunes,Can play them,but can not down load back into my ipod, any thoughts? Question,

See my answer under "iPod 160GB not recognized". The steps I took to fix this problem include completely uninstalling and then re-installing iTunes 9.0.2, restoring my iPod to factory settings while in disk mode, following the Apple instructions of repairing the permissions (outlined in my other post), and even after all that my iPod "crashes" after syncing more than 300 or so songs. I hope that Apple will come out with a real fix for this problem soon. Best of luck.

MUSIC WILL NOT SHOW UP IN IPOD ON IPHONE4

When I plug my iPhone4 into iTunes, it says the music is synced. But when I unplug it, the iPod in my iPhone says that there is no music. Help please, I've been very frustrated.
It does not automatically sync. Under the "music" tab, I have "sync selected playlists, artists, act".
and when you scroll down, I have all the music I want on my iphone, under "Manually added music".
I click sync and it says it did, and it says the space in my phone is taken up.
but it won't show up when I go to my ipod on my iphone.
suggestions please?

i've had this, sometimes the music files become disaccociated with the music app
plug in your iphone
when it shows up in the sidebar in itunes on your computer, expand using the little triangle, go to the music tab that shows up
delete all files there - this will clear those songs from the iphone (it may indicate it wants to sync once you do this, let it)
once the music is off your iphone, then make sure settings are correct for you to sync music (as if you didn't have any issues) and then sync the phone.
it will put the songs back on the phone, and the music app should recognize them.

I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

HT201272 My music will not go onto my Ipod. It is missing in my stuff on Itunes

Help please. I'm very new to this Ipod stuff and so is my 10 year old. I have sharing on all my computers but when he plugged his Ipod into one of them it deleted all his music. I can not put his music back on his Ipod...
Please and thank you.

There are no error messages and yes the iPod is signed into the account that the music was purchased from but what happens is I sync my iPod and it tells me all my music is on there, but it is not in the library and if you search one of the purchased songs it shows up on the iPod. And everytime I click on the song that comes up after searching it takes me to my library for about 5 seconds then puts me at the home screen

Podcasts show up/play in iTunes but do NOT sync to the iPod - help!

Hi,
I can download and play the strongbad emails podcasts in iTunes. But when I tell itunes to sync it to the iPod, it says 'update' complete, but then no data is actually transferred to the iPod. I read the instructions for how to sync podcasts, and I am doing it exactly right (and my music is syncing fine). It's very weird.
One thing worth noting is that when I go to the 'sync podcasts' screen, and select 'all podcasts', the podcasts are grayed out (as though it isn't recognizing them as podcasts, even though I downloaded them from the apple store). But then if i select them manually, they are black again and I can select them-- however, as I said, when I try to sync them, no data gets transferred. My best guess is that for some reason iTunes is not recognizing them as being able to be sync'd. Can anyone help?

I am having similar problems. My iPod says that the podcasts are on there but when I got to listen there is nothing. Any help will be great!

My music will not sync to my iPod after updating it to IOS6

Okay so earlier this week i got notifed for a new update. I didn't want it so I cancled it. Today I watned to sync new music to my iPod but it comepletely shut down. It started to restore by itself and deleted everything. Luckily I had it back-uped to my computer so it fixed everything BUT my music. I have tried some of the tips that have been given to others on here but none of them work.
I tried "unchecking" the synv music box in the summary and all.
I tired restoring the whole thing.
I tried wifi sync and nothing. Its the same crap.
I turned off the music match and and reset it. Still nothing. This is frustrating me! So much for improving everything. This is crap.
I need help!

I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section.

What happens when you try?
Has it worked before?
How are your syncing? Automatically or manually?

App will not load onto my Ipod Touch (4). How do I get a refund?

I downloaded the App "1000 Exercises". It shows up on Itunes, but does not go onto the Ipod. I tried doing the suggested "deauthorize" the computer routine. It does not work. How do I get my money refunded. Thanks

You can report it as a problem using the procedure here:

Have you synced apps from that computer to your iPod before? Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod?

Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

I recently purchased a new computer and tried to move my itunes music to the new PC, I am not savay on computers, but music will not play on new PC, error (!) will not play and have to locate. Why is this please help.

please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc. Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC. This is very frustrating. Thank you

It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.
