Need help re-arranging tracks in iTunes Library and on iPod nano

Hi. I'm currenty ripping my father-in-laws 60 disc set of the complete audio Bible onto to his iPod nano for him. All was going well for discs 1 through 22. All the CD info (track names, album title, etc) had been found for all discs, and as I ripped the CD's in the proper order, the tracks were holding they're proper order in my iTunes Library and on the ipod nano as I updated it occasionally. When I ripped disc 23 (I Chronicles 19 through II Chronicles 10) onto my computer, I didnt notice that iTunes was unable to retrieve the CD info for that disc, so it ripped all the tracks as "Track 1," "Track 2," etc. It wasnt untill after I finished ripping discs 24 through 29 that I noticed the error. I re-named all the tracks following the proper spelling, capatalization, etc as all the other discs had used, and updated the artist, album, and genre fields exactly as the other discs, assuming that as soon as I did that iTunes would properly arrange the tracks between I Chronicles 18 and II Chronicles 11 in my iTunes Library. Instead it stuck all my newly renamed tracks before Genesis 1, the first track. I updated the nano hoping they would arrange properly on it, but it didnt. I Chronicles 19 through II Chronicles 10 come before Genesis 1. I've been playing around in iTunes trying to figure out how to rearrange tracks in my Library, but havent been able to figure out how. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may need to set the track number, and sort by that, since these are not in alphabetical order.
Right click where it says Name in iTunes (on top of the song list). Put a check mark next to/click Track Number. See if the other songs have track numbers. They may be sorted by that. If so, you'd have to add track numbers to all those other tracks, and then sort by that (right click a song, go to get info, click the info tab, and add the track number).
If it's not track number, try and find out what they are being sorted by.

  • Its been ages since I last did this, how do i download from my itunes library to my ipod nano

    Its been ages since i last did this how do i download from my itunes library to my ipod nano?

    Do you mean put your iTunes Library on your iPod nano?
    If so, then just plug the device in and sync it.
         1. Plug device into computer
         2. Open iTunes and select your nano in the upper right-hand corner
         3. At the bottom of the window that popped up click sync.

  • How do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
    If it's the latter...
    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
    For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab.  You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right.  Look for the Music tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device.  If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove).  Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • Discrepancy between iTunes library and synced iPod song list

    I am sure there must be a really simple answer to this, but heck if I know.
    My iTunes library on my PC has 1614 songs, yet despite my iPod being sync'd, my song list shows only 1588 songs.
    So, 25 tracks have not loaded - why is this? Surely there should be exactly the same number of tracks in my song list?
    H E L P - its driving me mad.

    I have a 24 track difference between my itunes library and my song list in my synced ipod. Really bugging me as I don't know why - have ensured all songs are checked, but still no answer. Where are the missing 24 songs?
    Surely someone out there must know the answer - HELP!

  • Need help have lost my entire itunes library

    Hi, i put my ipod on charge through my usb, my music is on my ipod, but my computer is telling me that the ipod is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library, i have only synced with this one computer please help!!!

    Hello ashme1985,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I don't know why your iPod is doing exactly, but I do know that if the music on your iPod is no longer in your iTunes library, you'll need to copy it back over to it. I say this because your only solution now is to *Erase and Sync* as it says.
    See this article for instructions on how to copy the music back over to your Windows machine.

  • Need help managing two iphones, two iTunes accounts, and one music library

    We have digitized all our music and it's successfully set up on an external hard drive. This is all great for me, as my iphone is synced to my iTunes account, so everything is set.
    Problem is my husband set up his own iTunes account with his iphone and now he wants to access the music on our home computer/iTunes account.
    So what we have is:
    USER A =
    computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A)
    iTunes account A
    iphone A (synced with iTunes account A)
    USER B =
    iTunes account B
    iphone B (synced with iTunes account B)
    iTunes account B = very few music files + lots of Aps
    What we want is for USER B to be able to access the computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A), but retain his Aps that he's purchased for his iphone.
    I hope this is clear. Can someone tell us the best way to accomplish getting USER B access to our home music collection?
    Thanks!

    My problem is similar, except for 3 different devices: IPod Nano, Old style Shuffle, and Iphone 3Gs.
    To answer one post as to "why" different accounts... 1 pre-teen user; wife/husband have (maybe) a 10 song overlap in the library, and I have tons of apps.
    Ok, all I want to do is play the same stuff on my home computer as on my work computer. There are 3 I-tunes accounts on my home computer (mine is one). My apps/movies and music don't show up on this computer, even though it has been authorized. I have synced the phone, but no changes, even after adjusting the prefs. Oh, and this is a side note, my Outlook calendars are not playing well together either. My home Outlook is "stand alone" while my work calendar is accessed by others all the time and both appts and email are "pushed" to my phone. (This is not a big deal, however)
    All I want is to be able to use my home computer to get MY movies and songs onto my I-phone (from the home computer)-- and download new stuff, that once I put on my phone will transfer to my work computer when I plug sync my phone and work computer together.
    Honestly, I don't need my wife's stuff or my kid's stuff, nor do I need for them to have my stuff. I don't care if we do share, I just don't want to chew up the memory on my phone with "Kidz Bop Vol 1-99", etc.
    My work computer is my primary for my Itunes. If you are still with me, please help. Thanks!

I can get any one (like album) but then I canot get tracks in order ie it will do all the 1's and then all the two's etc... I just want it to be simple

  • Need Help!  I lost entire itunes library after copying "My Music" folder to an external hard drive.

    I was recently hire by one of my sisters friends to set up a new computer and to repair wireless router.  The client asked me to copy music files from their old computer to an external hard drive so that they could be transfered to the new computer. So I connected the external hard drive to the old computer and copyed the entire "My Music" folder to it.  I never deleted files from the old computer. I did however uninstall a few applications at the clients request such as Microsoft Office and Kodak EasyShare which have nothing to do with itunes.  I got a call from the client a few hours later stating that their entire itunes music library is no longer there.  I do not have much experince with itunes this just doesnt make any sense to me.  I am sure the music is there but itunes is not pulling it up.   Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?
    Thanks so much

  • What is iCloud?! I am trying to delete songs in my Itunes library and I follow the instructions and instead of deleting the song, it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!?! I don't even know what iCloud is?

    I need help deleting songs from my Itunes library. When I follow the instructions it ends up asking me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!? I don't even know what iCloud is!!!

    It's the online version of the song you are deleting from your library, if you hide it you won't see it any more.

  • Since the new software update I am no longer able to syn my itunes playlist to my ipod nano.  Everything that has been put online since Nov 2014 is not helping, any suggestions?

    iTunes latest update has now stopped my ability to sync a specified playlist from my iTunes library to my ipod nano.
    All suggestions on line since Novemeber 2014 have not seemed similar to my nano - it is 16gb and very old, not sure what generation.
    The screen on this one is long an rectangle and not a touch screen.  A round disk that you run your thumb around has e menu, forward, backward and play/stop button, hope this helps you know which one I am referring to.
    Also any iTunes help for my device so far has not addressed and update and how to now use my device.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

  • How to move iTune library and iPod from old XP PC to new Vista PC

    I am upgrading from an XP PC to a new Vista PC and would like to know where I can find instructions on what I should do to transfer my iTunes library and my iPod to the new computer. Thanks for any help.

    I purchased Copy/Tran and, as you described, it was awesome in transferring all 2538 songs to the new computer.
    The only problem remaining is that even though it transferred all songs including the 83 that I had purchased from iTunes, when I synced my iPod with the new computer's iTune library, I got a message saying it could not put the purchased songs on the iPod because they were "not authorized".
    Any suggestions on what to do about that?

  • Song Count Different in iTunes Library and iPod

    I am perplexed now. iTunes says I have 6643 songs in the library, and it says it is fully synched with my iPod. Yet the iPod thinks it has only 6603 songs on it. I have gone carefully through the library, and every song thinks it is downloaded. When I mount the iPod, and highlight it in the Source column, the library also reports that the iPod has only 6603 songs on it, so it agrees with the iPod. So what are the 40 songs that the library has that won't download onto the iPod?

    Solution found. I find this amazing, but the iTunes library and the iPod treat duplicates in different ways. In iTunes, if one accidentally ends up with a duplicate song (for example by ripping the same CD twice, not realizing it was ripped before) the iTunes library shows the song twice (and the underlying mp3 files exists twice in the store). And the number of songs showing in the library includes both copies of the song, the original and the duplicate. If you then synch up the iPod, however, iTunes only loads one copy of the song to the iPod. So in my case it transpired that there were 40 duplicates on my computer, none of which downloaded to the iPod, and that is why the song count was higher in the iTunes library, and why the volume of music in the library showed as 240 MB more than what was in the iPod. Very strange design that iTunes knows enough not to download duplicates, but still shows them in the library. Solution is to go to Edit / Show Duplicates in the iTunes library, but be careful as there will be many false positives.

  • Itunes hangs when connecting ipod nano 5g

    I have iTunes 9 and a ipod nano 5g. When I connect the ipod to my mac, ITunes just hangs.
    OSX recognizes the ipod, so I think the cable and usb port are just working fine.
    I already did a rebuild of the itunes lib.
    Anybody an idea how to resolve the problem?
