also:
can't search for FLAC files
can't sort in any way, title, album, artist, genre, nothing...
can't play an artist albums in order, only all the tracks alphabetically
can't queue an artist or album at the end of the current playlist
(this are all i remember right now. there are more, which i do not remember right now)
in short, this thing is less functional than a 15 year old winamp.

Ipod Touch shows more "music" after sync than is on Ipod

Hi,
I received an Ipod Touch for Christmas last year, it's been updated to iOS 5.0.1 but no farther. Since December, the Ipod is showing that I have (currently) 1.4G more music tracks than are really there, but only after I hit the "Sync" button in Itunes. The "Music" bar goes from 47.6G to 49G, and usually will not drop back down after the sync is over, and the amount of "lost" data has increased over time. The Ipod itself says I have 47.6G of music on the device, not 49G. I manually drag and drop my tracks, I do not use automatic sync.Today I right clicked on the Ipod through Itunes, hit "Backup", and after doing the back up it showed 1.4G missing from the Ipod. Could the backup be corrupted?
I can't figure out where this "ghost" data is going. I have downloaded podcasts directly onto the Ipod, I have cancelled syncs due to the "greying out" of tracks, I have deleted tracks off the Ipod through the Ipod - I don't know if any or all of that is cauing the problem.
I hesitate to do a "restore from backup" as all the "music" on the Ipod are audiobooks, which I keep in the "Music" section of the firmware. I have read that the restore *may* return all my tracks to the Ipod, or it *may not*. As it's a 64G Ipod, that's a lot of audiobooks I will have to find on backup and reformat if the tracks don't return. Also, as I have no idea WHY it's happening, I have no idea how to prevent it from happeneing again. The idea of having to do a biannual reformatting of the Ipod to reclaim lost gig fills me with distaste.
I have not called Apple as I have no idea if I used my free call or not, I don't have "Apple Care", and I haven't taken it to the "Genius Bar". I just thought maybe someone here has had a similar issue or maybe knows what's going on with the Ipod.
Thanks for your time!

the laptop is about 6 years old and runs a wobbly windows XP pro on 1,5 GB RAM (transfer speed is 0,5 GB/hr, not really an option) and the main PC runs Vista 64 4GB RAM.
Same version of the same antivirus program, both are set to scan ipod only on demand. Exchange of drive letter did not make any difference.
Neither port change or exchange of cable did make any difference until the latest itunes update everything worked fine (no other updates made around that time).
After a complete deinstall and reinstall of an older version of iTunes - no change.
Complete format of ipod and "let itunes find ipod to restore" - no change.
Checked all involved drives and media - no errors - no change.
Restore Pod on laptop and move over to main PC - no change.
I'm getting rather frustrated as I simply cannot figure out what is the problem.
The most bugging part is I use mostly audiobooks (audible format) so Songbird is not an option either as very few other programs have aa/aax plugins (which is the only reason I'm using iTunes). Last time I used the pod, I simply wanted to sync the library, no errors, no hiccups, eject and ... no audiobooks, no music, but 111 GB of other.

I can't put more music into my iPod touch 4gen

Do you have a question?
Why can't you pur more music on the ipod?
Perhaps if you were to explain you issue, then someone could help.

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!

When I connect my iPod to my computer the AutoPlay window opens up and it doesn't give me the option of choosing iTunes. I want to add more music but all it gives me the option to do it put pictures my computer.

Hi, for some reason I can't add more music to my iPod and it doesn't give me the choice of choosing iTunes to show my iPod. I want to add more music but all it gives me the option to do it put pictures my computer. I really need help and I have no clue what to do. Please help me

Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

It should still be compatible. Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps? Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager. See this article for details.

So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Try:
- 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>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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do I put more music onto my iPhone 4?

Hi, I'm not very good at technical things, so I've got an iPhone 4 and I put my music on itunes and sync'd it to my phone, since then I havent tried to add more music or anything until now I just tried to put a new album on it and all these other albums that are on my icloud or something keeps going onto my itunes and I dont want them on my phone I only want to put one album on my phone but when i go to sync it itunes tries to sync everything.
How do I just put one album from my itunes onto my phone?
Thanks

Hi kbin22,
Once your iPhone is connected, open iTunes. You should click on your iPhone in the iTunes window, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Instead of syncing your entire music library, it sounds like you would want to choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". You'll then be able to check various boxes for what content you would like to have synced.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My phone keeps saying I am running low on storage space. Over half of the contents in it is in the "other" category. what does that include? I wish to have more music

I have a 16GB iphone but am an avid music lover. I own tons of music. I have iMatch and iCloud. As of right now my phone says I only use about half of the storage space on it in audio. Very litle is used for apps or pictures. I have another half of the storage space in a category called "Other". What is in that category? I would really like to add more music however my storage keeps stating I am almost full and need to manage. I would delete things if I thought it would make more room but it seems to take very little room off when I remove apps and pictures and does not really affect the other category. Someone please help describe what is in that category and how I can change add more room. Thank you!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.
