Itunes shows library different than on Touch

What's showing as on my IPod Touch 5th gen. is different than what's actually on the device and available for me to play.
I know, you won't believe me, but ITunes shows a whole different list of songs than what I see when I browse the device. It's like 2290 items according to iTunes, (good!), compared with 127 songs I can see on the device (bad!). Coincidentally, those 100 or so are all ones I've purchased from Apple.
The truth is that I've had persistent, massive problems with this thing over its life, which I've occasionally railed about here. Long story.
Question is, how do I get these two in sync again? - with all the tracks I've put on it, painstakingly, over hours and days. I suppose this could easily be for the ITouch forum, but I'm arbitrarily posting here because it occurs after hooking the device up to iTunes.
Thanks for any info.

In an ideal world all of your media content is on your system drive, listed in iTunes and organized in a portable layout. You then have a complete clone of the iTunes folder as a backup. If your system drive is too small to hold everything then putting the entire library on an external drive with a backup on a second drive also works. If you want access to some content on the laptop when travelling without having to take the external then it is possible to split the library up and store some content locally and not others, but that requires more effort to get right.
I'm still not clear what has gone wrong on your system, but some third party tools (e.g. Sony VIAO media manager and some antivirus packages) can interfere with the way the iTunes updates its database files leading to the concessional corruption. iTunes also expects all media content to stay in the same place so any manual manipulation of the media folders can lead to trouble.

My FaceTime shows one user ID, my iTunes shows a different one. How can I get everything on one?

You want to keep the iTunes ID since that is the one that you make purchases with. That should be your primary Apple ID email address.
Go to. Settings>FaceTime>Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with the iTunes/Apple ID email address.

Safari shows colors different than other browsers and GoLive

Does anyone know why Safari shows colors differently than Firefox, Explorer and Opera, Mozilla and Golive?
For example if I use "websafe" colors in photoshop with 2.2 gamma and sRGBie...2.1 and save, then import into Go Live with the working space the same, North America Web/ Internet, the colors are typically darker, although occasionally they are the same.
I have tried embedded profiles and non embeded.
The difference only happens when I view the page in Safari. By the way I use a mac, GoLive CS2
This is a constant frustration. I have created several tests but have found no satisfactory results. I am in the process of creating a website for teachers who use powerbooks and safari. And this color change really restricts creative possibilities. If the same page is viewed in Firefox it looks like it does in GoLive.
Thanks for any help,
Kevin

>> When no profile is in use.. Safari will assume sRGB becaus this is the web standart profile...
True on Windows Safari and other Windows browsers.
Safari on Mac and other Mac browsers 'assumes, assigns, applies' the Mac's default monitor profile to untagged color.
This is easy to proof here in the sRGB rollover:
http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
If Mac Safari 'assumed' sRGB on untagged files, then the sRGB rollover will have zero change.
+++++
>> converting to sRGB before saving for the web ensure god color in all browseres, and JPG and PNG can be savde with color profile
Except in Mac browsers that have 1.8 monitor gamma profiled.
The Mac-specific problem with trying to match tagged graphics on matched-color background in Safari is:
1) The color background is untagged and will Assume default Monior RGB.
2) The tagged graphic will be Converted to Monitor RGB.
In other words, if you fill a page with 4bb93c and place a tagged sRGB image, filled with 4bb93c, the two colors won't match up in color-managed Mac web browsers like Mac Safari...however, if you untag the sRGB file, it will disappear on the page, but it will be off color depending how close Monitor RGB is to sRGB profile in Mac browsers.
Windows, on the other hand is a different beast, it Assigns sRGB to untagged color, so tagged/untagged sRGB will be good in all Windows browsers.
At least that is what I have seen here on my Windows Vista Business box.

Is the iPad iTunes app quite different than the regular PC

I'm new to iPad. I went to check out iTunes app on iPad, and it is so limited what you can do. Very different than regular PC. Is there something I am missing?

It depends on what you want to see/manage - you can tap on your id at at the bottom of, for example, the Music tab in the iTunes app (or via Settings > iTunes & App Stores) and you can view/manage your id, address and payment info.

Why does my iTunes show more photos than I really do on my device?

I only have 493 photos on my device but my iTunes shows that I have 644 and a lot of memory is used because of that? Any reason why this happens and how I might be able to delete the extra photos?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

Itunes shows less memory than on my Ipod

I just purchased an Ipod picture/video 30gb, I have loaded 3376 songs into Itunes and Ipod so far, no pic's or videos, which comes out to 12.13gb. One day I received a "corrupt file" message in the bottom of my computer related to my Ipod. Itunes and Ipod still run ok, but now my Ipod indicates it only has about 4.6gb of memory remaining from Itunes. I checked memory on my Ipod and it is accurate stating 12.13gb have been used. Why is Itunes indicating that I only have 4.6gb remaining on my Ipod, is there a way to fix this?
dell 4500s Windows XP

Please clarify.
How do you get the audio from a TV show if the show doesn't appear on the iPod? Is it that the show really is there but that the video doesn't appear? If that's the case, check your TV Out setting.

1 Itunes match library, different accounts on iOS devices.

My wife and I have all our music in one itunes library, that's been uploaded to itunes match, under my apple ID.
However, we use our own app store/itunes accounts as well as our own icloud accounts on our iOS devices.
Is there any way I can have the itunes imatch work on my wife's iphone?
I was hoping that if I entered my account under Settings>music>home sharing, itunes match would use that account, but it doesn't seem to...

Same problem here. I dont find all songs back on my iphone although i have activated all required items in itunes and on the iphone.
I got a rather big library (16k songs), not everything matched BUT for example i only see Artist starting with "A"... all the other ones are not on my iphone.. very strange.
- Same story under my songs.
- All my playlist on the other hand are shown..
So it would be nice to find out what to do about this...

AME Exported Videos show transparency differently than when viewed in Premiere Pro!

This is kind of hard to explain but basically AME does not seem to treat 99% opaque as 99%...instead the exported file looks more like 90-95% opaque. If you have 2 clips (contrasting clips are easier to notice) on top of each other in Premiere and the top clip is at 99% opaque and the clip beneath it is at 100%, in Premiere you can hardly see the bottom clip, if at all. At 99%, that's how it should be. Just barely peeking through the top clip...
BUT...
If you export that clip using AME, the resulting clip will look completely different and it looks more like you had the top clip set at 90-95%. The lower clip is MUCH more visible. There is not "barely peeking through" like you see on Premiere. It appears that AME does not handle transparency well. For example if you cross dissolve two clips. It looks fine in Premiere but export it out to Bluray/DVD, etc. and all of a sudden, sometimes the beginnings and ends of the clip abruptly clip on or off as they fade into the clip. Again, it's like they go from 5% to 95% but miss out on the subtle start of 1-5% and the subtle ending of 95-99%.
There is a thread about this in the Premiere section but I figured I'd toss it here since it seems Premiere handles/shows the transparency perfectly, but the issue arises when it's exported. To really define the point see the following clip that another user posted in that thread I just mentioned. Notice how the cross dissolves abruptly start and end sometimes. I noticed this in my exported videos too because I use LOTS of cross dissolves. It's easier to notice on more contrasted clips, but I think this illustrates the issue really well.
https://vimeo.com/14536285
Again, I just edited a project that had 2 clips stacked on top of each other and I accidentally had the top clip at 99%. I didn't even notice it in Premiere. You really cannot see the bottom layer peeking through...well, barely. But it's really subtle which makes sense because the top layer is at 99%. But on my exported Bluray/DVD...holy cow, it's VERY noticable! Almost as if the top clip were at 90%, not 99 (no exaggeration).
I don't see a BUG Report for Adobe Media Encoder so I submitted a bug report in Premiere Pro.
Can any one (staff preferably) address this issue please?

Thanks for the response Todd. Is there a way to get around this GPU vs. CPU thing you mentioned? If not, is there a way to export from Premiere (to DVD/Bluray/Vimeo H.264) without using Adobe Media Encoder or export somehow so that dissolves and opacity changes are handled the same way that Premiere handles them so that the exported video doesn't look suddenly different? (I'm on a 2011 iMac with 16gb RAM and the AMD Radeon 6970M Graphics Processor) Basically, am I screwed and there's no current way having these issues with transparency that I mentioned above?
Here, by the way, is the thread I mentioned that has to do with cross dissolves. I figured it was just an issue with that specific transition until I just now did this export with a 99% opaque clip on top of another clip and the resulting export looks more like an 85-90% opaque clip.

My Skype number shows up different than what I pur...

my friends can call me with the number i purchased but when I call them its a different number????

661CALLER-My SKYPE# callerID changed twice to 661+7different digits, when calling my spouse. It said Palmdale area on his cell with the accompanying#. I asked where he was when I called, he was next to a particular store both times on separate days. I am not from California which is the area code 661 Palmdale area-so possibly a SKYPE friend calling you-unknowingly being assigned a different #, because of a different LOCATION on your part or possibly theirs. I was told they patch in #'s typically a California area code another ex. 559. He answered the calls even with the odd area code & answered in a hesitant voice, then told me it said Palmdale when I called-fyi-my location was consistent for a year laptop on kitchen table-he was traveling to costco store both times when happened-Call was normal just different caller ID both times.

HELP - Emergence - iTunes shows a different country (UK)

Hey, I was searching for any artist and realized that my iTunes said sign in, the point is I'm in the USA and the Itunes is opening up in the UK. What gives? Have I been hacked and what do I do next? Thanks for your help.

So, I've over reacted?
Thank you Niel. Now that I've made a fool out of myself, I'll slither away. :lol:

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?
