My 'Most Played' playlist will not Sync with Itunes

Hello,
I have created a 40 most played playlist on my iPod touch and on my ITunes. My iTunes shows my 40 most played songs fine, however my IPod shows some random collection of 40 songs, which are not my most played.
Could anyone tell me why the 2 playlists won't sync, and how to fix it? Thank you!

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

  • Shuffle Will not sync with iTunes

    My shuffle will not sync with iTunes.  It says it has sync'd, but when I try to play my songs, it gives me a message that I need to sync with iTunes.  It even says in iTunes that my playlist is on my shuffle.  Help? 

    Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
    Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
    You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
    use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
    Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
    I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
    I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
    P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

  • My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

    I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
    Here's some other option for Windows users.
    First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • HT1414 My Nano will not sync with iTunes.

    Nano will not sync with iTunes.  I get an error to retry or to reinstall.  I've tried most of the troubleshooting suggestions on the website.  I have not reinstalled.  My iPhone and iPad both sync with no issues.  The computer recognizes the Nano.  Is reinstalling my only option?  This started when I tried to update my devices with new music.  I noticed the error the next morning before my run and my Nano all the sudden had no music.  Went to re-sync and I received the error.

    It could be a number of issues, such as the soddering that connects the 30-pin adapter that then connects to your computer could have come loose. However that is unlikely unless you have dropped your device a lot. But for anyone to be of more assistance you will need to provide more information. Such as: does the divice still show up in iTunes? If not then you may have to put it into DUF mode, or you could bring it in to your nearest apple store and see how much help they can be. Caution: once in DUF mode you should be able to restore the device to its orginal settings and the newest software, but you will have to re-sync your libary, redo all of your selections ect. unless you have a local backup on your coumputer which you should be able to acess by [option]-click the restore button and selecting the latest backup, (at least I believe its [option]-click).
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    What happens when you try?
    Does anything sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.
