Manual management selected, albums dragged on, but no music on ipod.

I have a new ipod, and have selected to manage music manually. I have selected the albums I want on it, and have dragged them to the device shown in itunes. When I click on "music" under the device name, all the songs appear, with checked boxes. Yet when I disconnect the ipod, no music is on it. How do I get the music from the list on itunes out of the computer and onto the ipod?

I don't drag, but since I can't fit all my music on my Nano, I have it sync only checked songs. I'm not sure if you're doing one or the other, or some combination of both, but you might try hitting the Sync button that shows when you click on the iPod that appears in iTunes (in the list on the left, under music, movies, podcasts, etc.).

Cannot drag and drop purchased music onto ipod

Any help please, Win XP and latest Ipod and I tunes Software
I have had Ipod for a couple of years now and now I can't seem to copy my purchased music onto my Ipod any more.
The Ipod has always been set to manual mode as I have rubbish in my library I don't wish my Ipod to suffer from.
I can copy old music from my library ok and can still import CD's and they copy ok but purchased music is a no no.
I can burn purchased music to CD and then re-burn to get around the problem.
I Look at the purchased music file on PC and it tells me that the file is locked but cannot find a way to unlock it.
Any Ideas???? Cant see any problem with permissions on files etc, etc... and still hapening after itunes and Ipod upgrade.
Many thanks if anyone can help

Thanks for the reply but I had already updated Ipod to latest before posting but still had the problem.
For all other people concerned I have now managed to fix the issue.
Windows XP users try the following.
1: Connect Ipod as usuall
2: Right click on my computer and Click on "Manage"
3: Expand the Storage tree and click on disk Management, (you can also find this in your control panel) you will see your Ipod along with all of your other fixed drives.
4: Right click on your Ipod and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
5: Click on "Change" and assign a higher letter than what it currently is. E.G (T Drive)
Click continue if you get any warnings that programs might not work etc, etc.
6: From here to make things simple shutdown your PC and reconnect your Ipod as you normally would and this fixed my problem.
It looked like there was another device using the same letter as the Ipod (Memory Card perhaps) and so setting the Ipod to somthing different seemed to fix it.
Hope the advice helps others and thanks to all the discussions that pointed me in the same and right direction.

How to delete itunes songs but keep music on ipod when connected

This may sound like a strange request but can I delete all my music off itunes but keep the songs on my ipod shuffle when I connect it to itunes to load on new music?
I use sony sonicstage as my main music holding library as I have a sony large storage mp3 player but use my shuffle as a exercise music player.
Many thanks

*can I delete all my music off itunes but keep the songs on my ipod shuffle when I connect it to itunes to load on new music?*
No you can't. The shuffle doesn't have the same full manual management setting that other iPods have, you have to have the songs in iTunes or they'll be removed from the iPod.

IOS7 - why can't I select album from artist list in music app

I like listening to an album (often on repeat) and sometimes I only want to listen to one of the albums by an artist.
With the iOS7 music player, I can't seem to do this. There doesn't seem to be an option for listening to an album on repeat (unless maybe making a separate playlist or browsing by album only).
I find browsing my library by artist the easiest then narrowing down by album, but when I do this, the album will not be able to be selected from the artist. It simply starts on the album I want and then plays everything by that artist.
This is a major pain... why isn't there either a "Repeat All - Album" or the old option of selecting an album from within a particular artist's repertoire ?
Any help is appreciated if I'm missing something here...other than features that used to exist....

Hi benhirashima,
I think I could repro this issue in my side using the VS2015 CTP6.

2.38GB used but no music in ipod

So my itunes says i used 2.38Gb but i have no music in it because i took all of my music out of my itunes & now that my ipod is plugged in it says that i used that much space with no music in it. how can this be??

You could also use a software called WhatSize (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21149). It will show you everything inside any folder in your computer or even network. It shows sizes, hidden folders and files.
It's been very useful for me.
Hope it helps.

IPod Touch won't charge or connect, but plays music in iPod sound system.

Thats about it. I plug my touch into my PC and it doesn't connect, yet my speakers still play music from it. I've tried another cable from my old iPod and I tried restarting the touch. What is wrong?

I just restarted my PC and it still won't connect. Now I'm nervous.

What's the dif "sync only checked songs and videos"&"manually manage music

Can someone please explain the difference between "sync only checked songs and videos" and "manually manage music and videos"
It probably makes sense to someone that uses many iTunes features but I just download podcasts and music.

Okay , I had "*Manually Managed*" checked in the summery and had restored the iPod to get rid of some videos that wouldn't go away. When I went to Music and checked *Sync Music* Selected Playlists, etc. it appears that the *Manually Manage* box in the Summery un-checked itself.
Interesting,
So just to clarify ; When *Manually Managed* is checked you can only drag things into the device from your library (outside the device), using the Music tab within the device will negate this ?

Trouble Manually Managing iPod

After upgrade to Leopard from Tiger, trying to manually manage iPod 30GB. I have tried either "sync only checked songs" "Manually manage" or both, but unchecked items remain on iPod. Also, I am trying to sync my wife's 1GB Shuffle either in her account with Shared music or in my account with a separate library. Songs I put in my Drop Box do not appear in iTunes under her account or in her Drop Box. When I use my account but a new library, I add music to her Library from mine, but songs will only go to Shuffle when I check Autofill.
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks!

After searching through more help files, I tried a few more things; 30GB: checked Sync only checked songs & Manually Manage. Shuffle: Manually Manage was not a choice, but the help file instructed me to drag the songs we wanted from the library to the Shuffle.
I hope I can recreate what I did, because these steps seemed to work.

Itunes not giving "manually manage songs" option despite following instruc

I have an ipod shuffle. I am trying to place songs on my ipod from a computer at work (Mac G5) instead of my home computer (Windows XP). Despite following the instructions to set itunes to manually manage my songs, it never lets me get far enough to set the ipod to manually manage in the first place. When inserting the ipod into a usb a window pops up stating my ipod is "synced with another library and if I want to erase and sync" (duh). At this point, according to the instructions on apple.com I am to "Click the iPod button in the lower right corner of the iTunes window." However there IS NO ipod button in the bottom right corner to click in itunes. Also, In the pop up window asking wether I want to sync it gives me two buttons: 1. cancel or 2. erase and sync. If I hit "cancel" the ipod never shows up in itunes at all, so I can't select it and change to manual. I don't want to click "erase" for obvious reasons. As long as this pop up window is open I can't do anything in itunes unless I choose one of the two. And when I hold down my option and apple keys to try and bypass this pop up and set ipod to manual (also as per apple instructions) nothing happens. No pop up, no ipod in menu on the right in itunes and no ipod button in the lower right. It's as if ipod doesn't exist. Using itunes 7 and software has been updated. Ipod works just fine at home on the pc(windows XP). I can't be the only one having this problem.

There is no manual mode on a Shuffle. You can't load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod Shuffle like you can with other iPods: iPod Shuffle FAQ

Whilst it's possible you may get a response here, you would stand a much better chance if you re-post in the iPod shuffle forum.

Ipod Touch update to iOS5 - Manual Manage Media

Hi,
I currently manage all my music manually on my IPOD Touch.
My IPOD Touch is requesting that I update the operating system to iOS5. However a warning message is displayed explaining that once update is complete all media on my IPOD will be deleted. To preserve this content I must undertake the update on a computer that is sync'd to my IPOD.
I do not have a copmputer is not sync'd to any computer. I work on a shared computer.
Am I able to update the operating system, continue to manually manage my media, and not lose my music?
Thank You

As the message says, you will lose the mediaon the iPod after the update unless the media is in the iTunes library on the computer. Media is not included in the backup that iTunes make as the fist stage of the update. You can transfer most items to a computer and then do the update and sync the stuff back. If in the USa you can also redownload moste iTunes purchases via iCloud.

TS4062 When manually syncing music from my mac to my iPod touch, when I delete tunes from my manual list and hit apply, these songs remain on my iPod?

When manually syncing music from my Mac to my ipod, if I delete from my list and hit apply, the songs are remaining on my ipod? It just started doing this.

You need to select the songs on the iPod (in iTunes) and hit Delete.
Since you are Manually managing, Apply doesn't do anything to Music on the iPod.

Manual management selected, albums dragged on, but no music on ipod.
