Manual Sync: Identifying songs that are not in my iPod

Guys, a noob question for sure. But all my searches did not yield relevant answer for this one.
My setup is manual sync (iTunes 8, iTouch 2.0). How can I readily identify songs that only in my library but not in my ipod?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Well, my problem is a little different.
I chose manual sync for me to decide what song I want to keep in my iPod. But the issue is when you have a large collection in your library, how can I readily identify if a particular track is already in my ipod or not?

I can see songs that are not on my iPod.

When my iPod touch is not connected to Wifi I can still see all the songs in my "iTunes in the cloud". When I am away from Wifi I want to only see songs I have downloaded on to my iPod touch. When i do not have a internet connection I can still see all the songs. Is it Possable to only see songs that are actually on the iPod touch?
It is really anoying when I go to choose a song to listen to in my car and it is not avaliable because I have not downloaded it to my iPod. I have an 8gb iPod touch and I have to be very choosy which songs go on the iPod because of the size which Im ok with but I don't want to see all my music.

The problem may be that some songs by a particular artist have an album name, while others (the ones that are missing) have a blank album name. Try assigning an ablum name to the ones that are blank. You should then see them on your ipod under the "Artists" selection.

How to view songs that are not in any playlist

I am using iTunes 6.04.
I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
Thanks
Ben

Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
I have an answer.
Run one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
Hope this helps.

How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
Any other creative solutions?
(...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

Maybe one of these will help:
This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

Is there a way to drag a new playlist onto my ipod without creating doubles of all of the songs that are already on my ipod?

i just want to put the playlist on my ipod but it re adds all the songs that are already on my ipod. do i just have to recreate the playlists on my ipod?

Playlists are just files with pointers. If you have a song on multiple playlists that doesn't mean the song is copied twice. Any instance of a song in playlists just points to the single file it syncs over.
If you have not synced in a while however and the song is already on the phone there is a chance it has been a while and with changes made with each iTunes update or iPhone iOS update, they may have changed the logic of the playlists files or how it manages and organizes the file structure, thus it may be needed to update (resync) some of your files. That is just an educated guess.
What I mentioned first still applies, songs are only copied once even if on multiple playlists. Regular syncing helps keep things fresh and up to date and yes at times there are changes to the process that may cause extra sync time to redo some things an updated way.

HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title. Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play. What happen???? How can i get them to play., Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Please let me know how things are going.

ITunes Match on my iPhone shows songs that are not in iTunes on my Mac and PC.

Yes, I know that deleting songs from iTunes does not necessarily mean they are deleted from iTunes Match, too. Not checking the box when deleting songs is definitely not why this is occurring, so hear me out. My Mac hosts my main iTunes library. What I do there, is synched with iTunes Match. In iTunes in Boot Camp, I have no local files, so all that iTunes on Windows shows me, are the songs that are matched with and uploaded to iTunes Match. As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as my main library on my Mac.
It's a different story on my iPhone, though. There are songs that show up on my iPhone that I have deleted on my Mac. Some several times, even. A little while ago, I ripped one of my CDs and had it matched with iTunes Match. I made some changes to the metadeta afterwards, though, so I deleted the songs and added and matched them again. And again, that same day. I did the same things with a single song.
And now I'm stuck with three copies of the album and of the song in iTunes Match. But the weird thing is, that only one of each shows up in iTunes on Windows. That library, again, does not have any local music; it only shows what's in iTunes Match. I have tried disabling iTunes Match on my iPhone, I have deleted all local content on my iPhone, I have deleted the album and the song – the files that are showing up multiple times on my iPhone – from my Mac, updated iTunes Match, re-added the files and updated Match again. Unfortunately, none of this helped.
After deleting the files and updating Match, I saw only two instances of the album and the song in question, instead of three. After re-adding them and updating Match again, there were three of each again. That means that there are two instances of the album and of the song 'stuck' in iTunes Match. And yet they don't show up in iTunes on either OS X or in Windows.
Why is this happening? And, more importantly, how can I fix it? In the grand scheme of things, this is obviously a minor problem, but it's annoying me a lot nonetheless.

Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?

Viewing songs that are NOT on ipod

I have more songs in my library than can fit on my iPod Nano (I'm sure this is the case for most people). What I'd like to know is...is there a way to see which songs from my library are NOT in my iPod?

Create a smart playlist with Match rule;
Playlist is not {iPod playlist}.
Set iPod playlist to whatever playlist(s) you have sync'd to the iPod.

How to identify SQL_PROFILES that are not being used?

In dba_hist_sqlstat table were found 26 Sql_Profiles, some of them are not used.
Questions:
- Is there any way to identify which one are not used?
I tried verifying DBA_SQL_PROFILES but this does not help to much.
- Analyzing one by one, Is the only way to find why they are not used?
Thanks,
Deyanira

Hello;
You should be able to Join the views DBA_USERS and DBA_PROFILES to see whats in use. ( or not in use )
select distinct
profile
from
dba_profiles
where
profile not in ( select profile from dba_users ) On the second question I would ask the DBA.
Best Regards

Dan is correct. I have misread the question. Sorry about that.

Identify Jobs that are not running on their Scheduled date time

I have 29 scheduled jobs that run at different intervals of time. Some run once a day. few others run on hourly basis while others run on Sundays.
I was working on a query that would let me know if a particular job did not run on its scheduled date and time.
SELECT * from all_scheduler_jobs WHERE state <>'DISABLED'; will give me a list of all jobs that I have to monitor and that are not in the disabled state. But how can I verify that the jobs are running at their scheduled date time?
Any help please? I need to create a view of all such jobs and then plan to send an alert so that appropriate action can be taken and it is assured that all important jobs run as per schedule.
Thanks.

Hi,
I can see 2 approaches.
- for jobs that have run but ran very late you should query dba_scheduler_job_run_details and filter by the difference between req_start_date and actual_start_date
- for jobs that should have run but shouldn't, query for DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS jobs that are SCHEDULED where next_run_date is in the past
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

How do I Sync two songs to my ipod with out syncing my entire library and keeping all the song that are curantly on my ipod PLZ HELP SOMEONE

my computer crashed and i lost all of my songs. i got some of them back but i can't get some others back. i have these awsome new songs i want on my ipod but i can't sync becuase that will delete all of the other song that i clould not recover from my i pod. how do i sync the two awsome songs on to my i pod with out syncing anything else and keeping all of the non recoverable songs on my ipod? someone PLZ HELP

Unlikely to be possible.
The iPhone/iPod Touch is designed to only sync to one computer at a time.
What you are attempting to do is sync to a 2nd computer, even though it is likely the exact same computer.
The only option that might be possible is using the manually manage music on this device option.

Adding songs that are not in iTunes folder on hard drive

I'm trying to drag and drop songs from a hard drive onto by 120G ipod classic. I keep many of my MP3s on a separate drive that is dedicated just to music files, but this means they are not in my iTunes Music folder (C:...\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music).
Basically, my problem is that I can drag some songs over but not others. I don't get any sort of error, but when I drag most songs onto the iPod (using iTunes 8.2.1.6) the status at the top will quickly flash "syncing ipod, do not disconnect", but the songs are never added to the pod.
Can anyone help? iTunes is set to Manually manage the songs (as opposed to syncing) since I don't necessarily want them sync'd!
Thanks for any help!

It wasn't clear from your post, are you trying to bypass iTunes entirely and drop songs (native files) directly to the iPod? You can keep songs outside of the iTunes Music Folder, and you can drag songs from your iTunes library to the iPod, but you can't drag a song's native file directly onto the iPod -- you have to add the songs to iTunes first, then add the songs from iTunes to the iPod.
You can still have your music in iTunes but keep the native files organized how you want them outside of the iTunes Music Folder. Just de-select the options "Keep iTunes music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" (see your iTunes Preferences on the Advanced tab).
If I mis-read what you're doing and you really are trying to add to the iPod from iTunes, then the problem might be with the native files. Do they play OK in iTunes? What version are the tags?

Is It poss to see songs that are not in playlist ?

Is there a way of seeing which songs are not in a playlist so it is easier to sort the remaining songs,So I can put all songs in the libary into a playlist
Thanks

Thanks for the reply but that is not quite what I ment proberly my fault for not explianing clear enough.
I will try again
What I want to do is make sure every song in my library is in a playlist.
I can do this manually but means have flick between library and playlists thought there might be a trick on here to do it,without setting up smart playlists. The reason I want to do this is I use my I pod in the car and dont want to be searching for songs while driving.This is why I need to use playlists to make it easy.
Thanks again

Does anyone know how i can get the songs to download as currently it wont let me!!
I have put a screen shot, if this helps?
If anyone has had this problem and can help, thank you!

Hi, edcf.
I have experienced the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders

Check your purchase history and you method of payment to make sure that the item has not been deducted prior to processing these steps.

If the album has been charged, follow the steps in this article to report a problem with this purchase.
