Itunes to ipod song organzing

ok well lets see if i can explain this and still make sense...
i have the Sweat album by Nelly, but i also have some songs by him that are not on that album, ok so when i listen to my ipod and i go to the Nelly category i only see all the songs from Sweat, nothing more and in order to see any other songs by him i have to go to the SONGS category at the beginning and scroll to my desired song, esh i hate it, anyone know how i can fix this?
oh and i have the 30gig 5G

well for each of the 'other' tracks, you could call the album the same as the track.
You've just gotta think about the way that best suits yourself. iTunes does make organization a bit tricky at times!!!

Load new computer's itunes with ipod songs

I want to load iTunes from my ipod onto a different computer than was used to originally create the ipod playlist. Is this a problem?

The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

ITunes and iPod song counts not matching

I have just done a restore on my iPod Classic 160Gb, after recently reformatting and re-installing everything on my Mac Pro. Everything works fine, no problems.
However, if I check in my iTunes Library, it says I have 41153 songs,
in the iPod panel of iTunes it says I have 41427 songs, and
on the iPod display itself it says there are 41085 songs on the iPod.
I have sent iTunes to sync all music, and cannot understand why all three figures are not the same, especially the last two which are supposedly measuring the same thing. With a library this size it is almost impossible to find out which songs are not on the iPod or are being counted more than once.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Hey there,
There are a couple of things to check.
1. Make sure that if you have your iPod set to sync all checked songs and videos that each song in your iTunes library has a check mark next to it. To make sure, hold down the control key and click on one of the check marks next to a song. This may remove all of them, so you might have to do this twice to check all of the songs.
2. Make sure that you have no duplicates in your library because duplicates will not sync over to your iPod. To check this, head to the File drop down menu and choose "Show Duplicates."
3. Are there any error messages that appear when you are syncing the songs over to your iPod? If so, that may explain the difference in numbers. The error message may range from a missing file that iTunes could not locate or the song could not be copied over because it cannot be played on this iPod, and more.
Work through each of these and see if that helps.

Itunes deleted ipod songs

Due to a virus, my computer guy erased my hard drive, saving all the i-tunes songs in the library, in a folder. After he cleaned the hard drive, I re-installed itunes onto the computer. When my daughter plugged in her ipod, the itunes DELETED all her songs on her ipod. Her library is in a folder from the computer guy's backup. How do I get the songs back to her Ipod?????

Opemn iTunes.
Drag the files on the backup disc onto iTunes, then plug in the iPod.

ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
I use iTunes 11.0.
I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
(I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
Thank you for the help in advance.

I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:

How do I put all my iPod songs into my iTunes library?

I got my iPod in October, and at the time I didn't own a computer. I used my dad's computer to put songs from my CDs onto my iPod.
Today I finally bought my own laptop, a Mac iBook. I'm trying to load all my iPod songs into my iTunes, but I can't figure out how.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Colleen,
The transfer of music is designed to be one way by default - from iTunes to iPod. However, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection but I would recommend Senuti, I have used it myself and it's very user friendly.

When connected to iTunes, my iPod 6th generation shows all the songs and playlists in it but with exclamation points. When disconnected, it is empty.

Hi there!
I bought an iPod touch 6th generation about a year ago and it was working perfectly until now. On Tuesday, I updated -manually- like six songs to my iPod and it appeared like it worked but when I disconnected it the songs weren't on my iPod. Since then I tried the same twice and it wasn't until today that I looked for the songs on the iPod while it was connected to iTunes. The songs were there, but they appeared as if the iPod was still trying to copy them, I deleted them and copy them again and it finally worked.
The problem was when I unplugged the iPod and open my music there... all my songs were missing except for those six ones I copy minutes before. I connected it back to iTunes and everything was right were it was supposed to be but my iPod still had the most recent songs. When I try to play the songs appearing on the iPod music on iTunes, an exclamation point appears beside them.
I read it is because it can't find where the music came from but I haven't found a way to let the iPod know the songs are still there. I would really appreciate your help because I don't want to lose my music and playlists.

The ! means the actual music files can't be found.
If the ! is in iTunes on the computer the redownload/reimport the songs.
If on the iPod:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Purchased songs not showing up in iTunes or iPod

I have purchased many songs from iTunes, both on my computer and on my iPhone over the past year or so. However, only some of them are showing up in iTunes and iPod. I have receipts still from iTunes stating that I paid and purchased them and they were even in my library and on my iPod for some time but I went to listen to a couple of songs yesterday and couldn't find them anywhere; both browsing for the song and the artist. I went to my computer to see if they where there to re-sync but they were not in my library either. I'm not sure what happened to them as I haven't done anyting different. I tried restarting my iPhone and, closing and reopening iPod and even rebooting the computer, still nothing. I have red some threads stating that you should change the language to French, did that, still nothing. I'm not sure what the issue is but I have proof that I paid for the songs but they are no longer around. I'm very frustrated! Any help would be great.
I've also been experiencing issues with updating the software. Sometimes I get a timed out error which is odd since I have an internet connection with no issues. It gets all the way to the end and won't complete. I try two or three times and give up and then the next day I may try again and it will work without issues. I have the iPhone 4 and have software update 4.3.2 but have not successfully done the 4.3.3 yet as I keep getting the update error and it's driving me insane!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Stephanie

on the computers itunes click on the iTunes Store.
then click Purchased under quick links on the right.
you can then select Not In My Library and download anything you're missing from there.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.
