ITunes not updating iPod rated songs

I have used iTunes and iPods for several years. I
always use automatic updating. Previously, any
change to a song rating I made on my iPod would be
reflected in my iTunes library after a sync. Since
my most recent iTunes update (7.1.1), I have two
problems. (1) iTunes does not update the ratings
changes made on my iPod and (2) podcasts which I
listen to on my iPod are not marked as "not new" in
iTunes. It appears that Apple has screwed up
something in the sync process in the newest iTunes
version. Is anyone else having this problem?
Having exactly the same problem as your first issue. In the playlist of top-rated tunes they all appear. However my iTunes library has 460 relevant tunes, whereas the same playlist on the iPod has 100 fewer. They are greyed out and can't be changed and aren't played.
Any ideas?

ITunes not seeing iPod Shuffel songs

Hi All
I bought a 2nd gen Shuffel for my girlfriend the other day but ran into plenty of issues.
Firstly, it did not want to be picked up on her PC (W2k with SP4). It kept saying "iPod is corrupted".
Then, I plugged it in my laptop (XP Pro). Restored and updated with latest iPod software. Also copied some music from a CD. Everything was working until the next time I plug it back into my laptop again. iTunes does not see any previously installed music on the ipod.
If I plug it back to my girlfriend's PC (Win2K), once again it say "iPod is corrupted"
Any input on this please???

Itunes not updating ipod

I had a problem with my ipod before where it would not be recognized in itunes. Anyway, went to apple store and clerk restore ipod to factory settings. Now Itunes sees my ipod but still wont update the songs. help.

Well, perhaps I wasn't being clear -- can you select the option to sync the iPod? Or is it grayed out? If you can select it, are you saying it doesn't do anything?
If so, the usual remedy is to use the firmware updater to restore the iPod back to factory conditions and do a complete resync. That ought to fix things.

ITunes Not Updating iPod When It States That It Has

I purchased songs from the iTunes store. I have automated update. Windows and iTunes recognize my iPod. I get the message that my iPod is updated after I plug it in but it's not updated. I can't get my iPod to update even though the message states that it is updating. What am I doing wrong?

Something might get the wrong idea<<</div>
I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that, Jim.

Itunes not seeing Ipod and songs not playing Ipod

I have a couple of issues just wanted to know if anyone has run into. I have a couple of computer one running Vista, the other XP, neither see the ipod in itunes, both see it in Windows. That is the first problem. I have also tried all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of this support website, except re-installing the operating system. The other issue is that the ipod does not play the music that is currently stored on it, it acts like it is going to and then stops the screen turns black and the apple logo appears, any ideas?

Hello betel23,
Have you tried resetting the nano yet? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. I would try these more than once just in case.
Otherwise, try forcing the iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instructions in this Apple support document. It may help your iPod mount as an external drive on your system as well as get it to appear in iTunes.

ITunes not recognizing iPod rating.

I rate things on my iPod touch. I have smart playlists set up so that when I rate things over 3 stars, they get sent to that playlist. That works fine.
However, when I connect my iPod to my Mac, iTunes doesn't recognize the newly updated playlist that I see on my iPod.
Suggestions?

Updated TAGS in iTunes not updating iPod

I'm new to iTunes and iPop and I'm running into a problem. I did my initial sync and when I browsed through the artist, I realized I had some problems with some of the tag data. For instance I had a listing for "The Moody Blues" and one for "Moody Blues, The." I also had some artist where there was a space behind the artist name on some entries that I had to delete. So I went through all the tracks with with problems and corrected them, and everything looks great in Itunes. I then re-synced and it showed a bunch of tracks were re-syncing. But once it finished, the artist listing on the iPod didn't change. So what do I have to do to get those changes to reflect on the iPod? Thanks!

*** is up with itunes not updating my info??

*** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.

Itunes not updating bonjour error

Itunes not updating bonjour error (the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

ITunes updates songs, playlists, etc., but will not update iPod options

When I plug in my iPod (4G, 40GB), everything syncs as it should --songs, playlists, podcasts, etc. The same is true when I manually choose to update the pod. (i.e. from a context menu or somewhere else in the UI) However, I am unable to change any of the options for the iPod. This includes renaming, choosing disk access, etc.
When I attempt to make these changes from the "Preferences" dialog, iTunes will say "Updating iPod," etc. but while the changes appear in iTunes, they are not actually made on the iPod itself.
A similar situation occurs when renaming the iPod. Same as before, iTunes "goes through the motions" but doesn't actually change. The difference is that after the iPod is renamed, it will no longer update until the iPod is ejected and reconnected. iTunes gives an error message saying: "The iPod '[New Name]' cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." The name listed in the iPod's About menu is still the old name.
Info:
iTunes version: 6.0.4.2 (Win)
iPod firmware: 3.1.1
iPod connected via firewire
Gateway 500SE Windows XP Pro XP Pro SP2, P4 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM

iPod freezing up can sometimes indicate a hard drive failure. To determine this, follow these steps:
Press menu + select until the apple logo appears.
With the apple logo still on the screen, press and hold select + rewind. You will soon see a screen that says "IRAM PASS HIT PLAY CONTINUE".
Press play/pause.
Using the forward button, navigate to "HDD SCAN" and select it.
Connect your iPod to the wall adapter.
Allow sufficient time for the scan to complete, it can take a couple of hours. Results such as a "HDD PASS" that appears in seconds or a minute or two, "SCAN NG" or "RD FAIL" indicate the iPod's hard drive is pooched and the unit will have to be replaced.
Freezing during sync can also happen if the ports are not high powered USB 2.0.

Itunes in win 7 not updating ipod or ipad

My itunes, Win 7 Pro is not updating my ipods or Ipad for new tracks/song/files. I have tried to authorize the PC but thats ok. I have shut down and restarted PC. Problem still exists.
any ideas? TIA

Let me rephrase the question--when I want to add a file from my "my music" to a playlist--the file (and there are several) does not move to the playlist. Hence, I cannot update my ipods or ipads.

Unable to sync playlists from iTunes to touch iPod, the songs sync but not the playlists

I use to be able to just plug my iPod into my computer and have it automatically update. The songs are updating from the iTunes to the iPod but the playlists are not for some reason. Someone by accident ended up deleting a playlist off my iPod, and I didnt worry as I thought when I plugged it back into my computer to iTunes it would automatically sync the playlists again, but it didnt. Any help as to what I do from here? Do I wipe everything off the iPod and start again? Thanks

Thanks, good to know that restoring it will not be my best use of time. I hope we dont have to live with it as its easier to manage playlists and make new ones from the iTunes end vs the iPod end. Thanks for your reply.

HT1229 itunes will not update ipod cache for iPhoto 11

My itunes does not update my iphone 4s to the latest pictures loaded onto iphoto 11, no updates available. Any clues as to what is wrong, could Pixelmator be the problem?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
