Missing songs after syncing

i updated my ipod touch 4gen with the version 4.3.3 and it synced my ipod before it started but now 5 of my songs are missing. any help?

1) Are the songs still in your iTunes library?  2) Did you purchase the songs via iTunes?
If the answer to 1 is yes, just add them back the same way you add any new music to your iPod.
If the answer to 2 is yes, go into iTunes look at the top right of the screen and select "purchased".  You can re-download the songs from there.

  • Missing songs after sync

    After syncing some songs are not on my iphone. They are in my iTunes library and with my phone plugged in it shows that the songs are on the phone but they are not visible in my playlist. Any suggestions?

    Did you do a search by Song title? Should be in there.

  • Silence in songs after sync

    Hi
    Sometimes I have some bad songs after sync on my ipod touch , these songs have silence of 10s in the middle and then after all is correct
    If I listen the song on my library ITUNES it's correct ( no silence ) and if I transfer again the song after delete it it's also correct
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I see this problem too, as have others here on the Discussion Forums.
    There have been other posts about this and as far as I can tell, it's a bug. I've never seen a fix for this.
    Please tell Apple and hopefully if enough people do so, they'll address it in a future iPod/iTunes update.

  • Can iPod nano playback on same song after sync?

    Hello,
    Everytime when I add new music to my playlist on my ipod nano, I disconnect and go back to continue to play same song on where i left off, it randomly goes to a new song after syncing?! I always keep my playlist on shuffle, could that be the problem?   It does not happen to my podcasts, which continue on where i left off whenever I sync. I'm confused, please help

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

  • Duplicate songs after sync on itunes

    Hello, recently I synchronized my Iphone and itunes said that i have 7 GB of music, but after sync the music capacity bar have rise up to 11 GB. I opened music and i saw that many songs is duplicated... i trying to sync many times but problem is still there... I try to add music manually but it doesnt work... Any ideas to solve this problem?

    I just fixed this this morning in the following way:
    Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > delete all music
    Launch iTunes > uncheck off Music Sync
    Sync phone
    If that doesn't work, try synching a few times and you should see all your music disappear. 
    Check Music sync again and re-sync your phone. 
    (I also turned my phone off after I first removed the music, just in case.  Not sure if that does anything, but you never know)

  • IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

    After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
    The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
    This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
    I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

    I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
    On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen has no songs/incomplete songs after Syncing?

    So I recieved an iPod Touch for my birthday:
    After syncing the music into my iPod manually, the music is shown to be in my iPod on iTunes, but when I go on my iPod and push on the Music Ap, it says there's no music. When the music did sometimes show up on my iPod it was incomplete and most of the song was cut off. I also cannot restore my iPod it becomes frozen and I have to continue it on another computer.
    I can sync apps, etc on to my iPod but not music. I've looked at countless threads where people had this problem, many remained unsolved, I tried what was told where the problem was fixed (playing the music from my iPod on iTunes, then resyncing, etc), still not fixed.
    On the other hand if I use my sister's computer and sync her music, it works?
    My sister cannot get music off my computer on to her iPod either, so I'm pretty sure it's not my iPod.
    I honestly do not want to put all my songs on to a relatives computer just to put songs on my iPod it's too much of a hassle (it works, it's just too much work), I do not want to do that everytime I want more music. I want to sync music on my computer.
    Is there a solid solution to this problem?
    I apologize for the complain, but I am extremely frustrated.
    Things I've tried:
    -Reinstalling iTunes, restoring the iPod, resyncing, replaying music on iTunes off iPod, updating iPod, updating iTunes, checking Sync Music box, manually adding music.
    I also have Windows 7 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance to those who can help!

    Try resetting the iPod.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Finally, restore to factoery defaults/new iPod.

  • Problem with "missing" songs after migrating from Win PC to Macbook

    Hello,
    I'm trying to move my daughter's iTunes library from her old Win PC to her new Macbook Pro. I mostly got it right, but there are roughly 100 songs which do not play because they cannot be found. I can click through each and "find" them for iTunes, such that they will work, but is there a way to do this globally at once?
    I suspect it has something to do with "Consolidate Library", but I can't quite seem to make that work. How can I tell the Mac to search out ALL missing songs and reconnect them (or even move the files all to the iTunes folder)?
    I think I should have done a “Consolidate” on the old machine first, but is there a way to salvage this without starting completely from scratch?

  • Missing tags after syncing (TV Shows)

    I have some TV Shows that have their tags filled out correctly for iTunes (e.g., Season Number and Episode Number), but those tags won't display on my Apple TV even after syncing. I've tried filling out every field I can on the video files, to no avail. And even more frustrating? It's not a consistent problem. If I try to stream them from iTunes instead of accessing them on the Apple TV itself, all the tags are correct. (Plus this problem seems to affect only about half my TV Shows.) And yes, I've inspected the tags for all the episode files of this show and they're consistent. What's going on?

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, are you positve you have properly configured and setup your iPod to sync TV Shows, from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes?
    I would also check their media type in iTunes. To do this, locate the TV shows in iTunes, right ->click on them and choose "get info" from the Menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. There should be a drop down menu next to "Media Type". Make sure it is set to "Tv Show".
    If not either of those, do you receive any error messages while syncing these TV shows over to your iPod. Let me know. Would love to help.

  • Lost purchased songs after sync.

    I just synced my ipod touch to iTunes on my computer to update my playlists and my library. I haven't been on iTunes on my computer for almost a year, due to before my computer has had constant problems after installing iTunes, and I would then have to uninstall the program. Recently I've wanted to update my playlists on my iPod and update my library, so I downloaded iTunes, signed in, authorized the computer, and synced like I did before, which was awhile ago. My iPods battery was low when I first synced, so I left it hooked up to my computer and went to do other things while it charged. Now I'm back, and my iPod is a complete disaster. *_Now I cannot find about 100 songs that were on my iPod before I even hooked it up to the computer in my iTunes library, on my computer, or even on my iPod, along with random songs' cover art now messed up!_* I've been looking through all of Apple's support solutions and have not found anything that could help me. The songs that are missing I've purchased within the past 2 months. *_If it helps, 6 or 7 songs that I've purchased in the last week though are still on my iPod and in my iTunes library, with their cover art also messed up._* I don't really understand how my iPod could have everything fine before syncing, then have around 100$ at the least of songs completely missing and nowhere to be found, along with the cover art messed up! Please if anybody can help me I would greatly appreciate. Thank you.

    When you sync your iPod for the first time (at least with a new iTunes on the computer, you should stick around and customize your ipod options. Does the songs you purshed show up in iTunes. To fix the album artwork problem see if the songs with the bad album artwork has the right album name. If so goto the menu bar: store>get album artwork.What does it look like? Also if the iPod artwork is messed up after that just reset after you sync.

  • Album art does not match songs after syncing iPhone on new iTunes

    Hi,
    I recently updated my iTunes to version 11.1.12.  After doing so, I soon realized that the album art for my songs does not transfer to my iPhone correctly.  On iTunes the album art for each song is matched correctly, but when I sync it to my phone, my phone displays artwork for other songs.  So when I have song 1 and song 2, the album art for song 1 is tagged with song 2 on my iPhone...i'm very frustrated and have tried everything but a hard reset which i'm REALLY hoping I don't have to do.
    HELP HELP HELP!!

    I've had this same problem a couple times. First time I didn't have a clue as to cause but fixed it by unsyncing all music (removing it from phone) and resyncing it back on. This latest time the miss matched artwork occurred on albums I bought on my iPad and then sync'd to my computer and then to my iPhone. Artwork is fine on the iPad and computer (iTunes 10.0.1.22 on XP machine). Artwork shows as other albums for only new purchased albums from iPad. I haven't had time to do the unsyncing and resyncing but will do it this soon and report in to verify that it worked (or didn't). I'm hoping the artwork the iTunes couldn't find, and I did from various places on the net, will be there when I resync the music.

  • Ipod missing songs after update

    I never should have done this but when I updated my itunes recently and left auto-sync on. Plugged my ipod in, itunes takes the next 6 hours trying to update my ipod with 40 gigs of music. It was able to do it, and it shows all songs as being imported successfully when i look at my ipod library plugged in to itunes. However, when I unplug my ipod and use it, I only see one song from each album. Some albums are complete but very few. Also, now I can't restore my ipod when connected to itunes to try to reload all of my music. Any ideas?

    All of my songs show up on my computer library and are all playable. I've tried restoring to factory settings and even after doing so, I encounter the same problem.
    Update though: when I plug my ipod into my car, it can play all of the songs though I can't see them when scrolling through the ipod library. It seems like they're "hidden".
    I never get any errors, just can't see about half of my library.

  • Missing ringtone after sync with iTunes

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iPhone 5 and I transfered all data from my old iPhone 3GS except for one ring tone which is missing now on both phones after the sync with iTunes! I can't find it anywhere in my iTunes, nor on my old iPhone 3GS which is weird...
    I can't see it in my iTunes in my Purchased items. It's like Apple just deleted it entirely.
    I found similar problem in topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811069?start=0&tstart=0 where Apple deleted a ringtone which was no longer affiliated with iTunes Store. This can't be the right way to deal with all the content people paid for in past ?
    The ringtone is still available in iTunes. It's Royksopp - Happy Up Here.
    I paid for this ringtone and I wish to have it back.
    Please advice

    Have you tried closing the GoodReader app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with GoodReader 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the GoodReader app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPod stuck on same starting shuffle song after sync

    I have the iPhone 3G with the latest 2.2.1 firmware but this is a recurring problem. After each sync, I notice that when I play music, it always starts with the same song every time (it's on shuffle mode always). If I remember correctly, it didn't work like that before but somewhere along the firmware upgrades, something changed and now this is the default (and annoying) behavior. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

    don't have a workaround - but its a me too
