My songs dont appear in order on my ipod touch

I bought the 32gig touch yesterday and I love it! But I notice when I transfer a playlist (in song order) it shows up just fine but when you click on the album icon it has the song order disarranged..song 3, song2, song 4, song 5 etc..I clicked on shuffle a couple of times to see if that was it but it wasn't. In my itunes it again is in the right order.
How do I fix this?

Are you copying over the iTunes Library.itl file and other supporting files in the iTunes folder, as well as the media folder iTunes Media? See Make a split library portable for some background.

TS5181 iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch, Why?

iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch. How can I fix this?

Ok, I have resolved this issue myself. I contacted Apple support but they had no clue.
The resolution is this, bring Siri up and say "radio". Radio comes up and you touch "now playing". Believe it or not the radio icon appears and remains.
I hope that helps other folk.

How do i authorize songs so they can go on my ipod touch?

how do i authorize songs so they can go on my ipod touch?

Songs do not get authorized. You need to authorize the the computer via iTunes for the accounts that purchased the songs.
Also the iPod has to be signed into that account. To sign the iPod in go to Settings>Store and sign out/in to the necessary accounts.

Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

i pre-ordered the new ipod touch last month on the 18th, and i've been hearing peoples statuses have change to ready for shipment i believe? i checked my status and its still saying its processing my item, when can i expect to receive it? i also seen it said it will be shipped from oct 24-26th. does it take longer for it to ship if you have it engraved? and also if and when it is delivered to my house and nobody is home to sign for it what would i have to do? (would i have to go to pick it up if i miss the delivery?)

Songs dont appear under the artist name on the ipod....

When i put a song on itunes, it appears under the artist and the song name but when i look for it on my iPod under the artist name, it doesnt show up. Where is the song?

I went to that link but it doesnt seem to help. In itunes I have made sure that the song title, album and artist name are already in there with the correct spelling etc. In itunes all the info is there. When I look for the artist in my ipod it doesn't show up. I can find the album and the individual songs but the artist is not there.
Also...Songs in my itunes have all been organized and did the "get info" thing but some of the same artist appear several times on my ipod. I made sure everything is spelled correctly and the same for the same artist name, I have done resets and restore on the ipod, I deleted all the music out of itunes and then reinstalled it but I am still having the problem with certain artists...not all of them just randomly some. And it is continuing to happen with some new mp3s I am adding. What is going on with that???
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have only had my ipod 3 weeks!!! If there is something wrong with it I want to return it and get a new one or is it user error?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

How can I get my audiobooks in order on my iPod touch?

I have an iPod touch (4th gen) and recently downloaded a series of audiobooks from iTunes (Doug Bradley's Spinechillers). There are thirteen books in the series, and I'm not able to make them display in order on my iPod. I've edited their info in iTunes so that they display in order (see picture); I've edited Artist/Album Artist so that information is all the same. In theory, should they not be displaying this way on my iPod? I've deleted and re-synced them after all the changes, but on my iPod they still appear out of order. Can I change this? In the long run, not a huge deal, but I prefer just selecting the next audiobook instead of scrolling through the whole collection. I'm running version 11.2.2.3 on a Dell (Windows 7).

How are they being displayed on the iPod?
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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Purchased Song numbers different on PC iTunes and iPod Touch

Im having problems with the speaker on my ipod touch and apple support has suggested I reformat my ipod.
I purchase music directly from both by ipod and PC iTunes using the same account.
However when I look at my purchased number of songs from my ipod it says 194.
My iTunes in the PC says 150.
If I reformat my iPod I will lose the extra 44 songs. Is there a way to have these appear in my PC iTunes so I can restore them to my iPod after I format it.
Please advise.

e mac unable to find external hard drives
Posted: Jul 14, 2010 7:04 AM Reply Email
I recently tried to move the contents of a full external drive to a new larger external drive. while doing this I lost around 4000 tunes. So I have been trying to locate them, some found in the strangest places on the main hard drive? Then two nights ago I lost the new hard drive in finder, quickly followed by the old external hard drive. I turned everything off, then on repaired permisions etc. Replugged everything back in, but no Hard drives showing either in finder or disc utility?
A good friend and fellow musician, took the drives away to see if they would work with his macs of differing vintages. They dont appear on any of his machines. When I spoke to him today he told me that his own external hard drive had vanished from his mac. Is something going on? An update from Apple we dont know about? Are any of you experiencing a similar problem. Both these external drives were working perfectly one minute then gone the next!
Even though my i tunes library is gone on one of my drives. I plugged my i pod in and created a new library, it was recognised!
Please help!

The alphabetical order in my Ipod Touch is not followed

Hi, I just bought a new Ipod Touch 32Go because my old 8Go wasn't working anymore. And the problem with the new one is that it doesn't follow the alphabetical order of the songs or the artists name. For example, when I'm looking for a track starting with a W, I've got to look in the X or the V. to find it. etc... The problem is not that the songs are not well named because the problem was not there with my old Ipod. help.
Thanks for your help.

I've found out by myself. I've tried everything, turn it off then on again. Re sync everything many times. Tried to go in the preferences. But the only thing that worked was to reset everything. Put the Ipod back to 0 and start all over again. I may have lost every data that I've been setting for the past days but at least now I can find the music I'm looking for in the correct alphabetical order
Have yourself a good day.

The add to button doesn't appear on itunes with my ipod touch 4th gen.

I cannot add any songs to my ipod touch 4th generation because an add to button does not appear on itunes in the "on my ipod" section. If i plug my sister's newer ipod in it works, it does not make sense. i have re installed itunes four times now. I don't know what else to do. This means i can no longer add any songs to my ipod from my computer the only way to get songs is by purchasing them from the itunes store. HELP. PLEASE. This has been occurring for a while now.

Hi katelyn6794!
You may want to try setting up your iPod to sync content manually using the information in this article:

HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

When I try to play a song with the music app on my iPod Touch, some songs freeze at the beginning and my iPod touch becomes unresponsive to anything for up to twenty seconds. Help?

Hi all I'm new here.
My issue goes something like this. When I use the standard music app to play some of my music (MOST from Beatport) on about half of the songs, my iPod will freeze and become unresponsive for up to a half minute. After that, it normally brings me back to the playlist song selection that I was looking at previously. I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation that is running iOS 6.1.2. I have only three playlists, but all of the three have over 500+ unique songs on them. (I normally don't keep duplicates of songs on my iPod) I started to have this problem when I upated my old iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6.0.0. Ever since I got that update, half of my songs have not and will not play.
I have tried numerous times to reset my iPod (4th and 5th) and I even re-installed everything without using a backup.
Any help as to what will fix my problem?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
