No songs show up in Owner's iPod when i remove them from the Music folder..

every time i transfer music to my Shuffle, and then remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they will show up in Owner's iPod every time i connect my Shuffle. i don't get it. the capacity is right, and i know there are songs on the Shuffle, but there's no way to maintain the playlist of songs (for example, remove a few songs and keep the others) because none of them show up in Owner's Ipod...
i also had another problem, that i was able to fix, with my wireless keyboard and mouse. whenever i removed the Shuffle from the USB connector, the lights on my keyboard and mouse remote would go out, and my keyboard and mouse would disconnect. also, the screen would turn gray, and i would have to hold the power butten down on the PC to get it to shut down. i changed the USB port i was using for the Shuffle, and that seemed to fix it, but i think that it's wierd that i moved my iPod Mini to that USB port and it doesn't do that when i remove it. anyway, i changed USB ports, and it works fine now, but i don't think it's a problem on my end because my iPod Mini works fine in that port. i think it's a software bug with the Shuffle...

Songs get deleted on ipod when i delete them from the library

This is really annoying, I don't know if its the new iTunes or my new ipod shuffle. But what happens is when i delete a song from iTunes, Those songs are deleted from my ipod when i sync it to the library. I use windows. Now i'm afraid to sync my old ipod (gen 4) to the new itunes cause i'm afriad the same thing will happen and thousands of songs will be deleted off my ipod.

Forget that post ... the KB article referred to doesn't apply to Shuffles.
The Shuffle simply works differently. It doesn't have any exact equivalent to the normal 'sync' mode (it uses Autofill instead) and, essentially, is always operating in a reduced version of Manual Mode as experienced on other iPods.
The Shuffle will also be tied to only one single iTunes library at a time, and you can absolutely expect that deleting a track from the Library will also delete it from the Shuffle's playlist (in exactly the same way that deleting a track from your Library also deletes it from all other playlists .... no difference at all).
The only direct way to prevent that from happening is to set things up so that the Shuffle won't launch iTunes as soon as it's plugged in.

I want to keep songs on my main iTunes but remove them from the Cloud to make more room in the Cloud for new stuff. HOW?

Are these purchased songs from iTunes? If so they do not count against your cloud storage.

What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
Best,
Faisal

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?

My ipod touch shows that it is sync'ing but as i look into the music folder of my ipod4 it shows no update. help anyone?

i was able to restart my ipod several times because of this problem but it doesn't really show any update in its music playlist.

Are you checking the items you want synced to the iPod?
Have yu tried resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: 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.

My wife's Apple ID is shown as belonging to a family sharing group, but we can't determine what is the id of the owner. How can she remove herself from the group?

my wife's apple ID is shown as belonging to another family sharing group. We can' t figure out the Apple ID of the 'owner' of the group. Is there any way to remove oneself from a family sharing group when you are not the owner? Or how can we find the log in id (Apple ID) of the owner?

i partially solved the problem, however still need some help. My wife has made purchases under two different Apple ids. I tried t re-set her iPad with her main ID but it is apparently part of a family. I re-set her iPad iCloud using her secondary ID. The sharing of iTunes shows her main apple ID. The settings iTunes is also set to her main Apple id. I sent an invite from her iPad icloud family sharing to her main Apple ID, but when I attempted to consent to join it says she is already a member. So I am guessing this is because in the family set up under her secondary ID that her main id is the iTunes account that is shared. My question is could I change the iTunes shared under her name as owner to her secondary account, then invite her main account to join as a distinct member? I am nervous about doing this for two reasons 1. There is a warning when changing the shared iTunes account that says you can't join another group for 90 days. 2. I may still get the message that her main account is still a member of the group even though it doesn't show up, and then not able to revert back.
if you follow this can someone offer some help,
thanks
note. This whole problem when we had to change a Apple id when we changed Internet service providers.

ICloud - I want to have songs on my Mac and remove them from the cloud. How do I do this?

My iTunes match account has the maximum (25,000?) songs in it. It was created before I had the 25.168 songs that I now have in my iTunes local library.
I'd like to add songs to some playlists, but I cannot because "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library."
How can I add these songs to my iCloud music library? Do I have to remove songs from iCloud before I upload new ones? If so, how do I do that without deleting the songs from my local machine?
I have plenty of songs that I don't need to exist on iCloud, but I still want them on my local machine.
Thanks

Okay then...
...no help. Thanks anyway.

Hi Truenliving,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Since you have an iPod Classic (and not a Mini), you may want to post this message in the iPod Classic section : http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=204
Someone there may be able to help you better
A quick search of the Forum reveals this post, with a similar problem (and it seems, a solution... But depending on how old your iPod Classic is, it may still be repairable under warrantee) :

Can I manually add videos to my iPod and remove them from my Powerbook?

Greetings,
First of all, I wish everyone a merry christmas and a good new year.
I love my new iPod 5G, and have been copying plenty of videos. Sadly this has resulted in the depletion of hard disk space on my Powerbook. I was wondering if I could manually update the videos like you can do so with songs so that the videos remain on the iPod and not on the Powerbook.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Thank you and happy holidays to you also.
First, burn the movies to data disk as a means to back up all of your movies, music, etc. Then transfer them to the iPod & you can delete them from the PB. Make sure you go into your Preferences and set the iPod to "manually manage songs & playlists" first so that when you next sync you won't accidently delete the iPod contents.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Can i set any song in the music folder as a ringtone? how?

i am a new iphone 4s user and i want to set a song from the music folder as a ringtone and i don't know how.. do you have any idea?

First create a ringtone from your song in iTunes, then sync it to your phone. See

Songs showing up twice on my iPod

Hello everyone. I am an organization junkie, and just jumped to the iPod from Zune. I can say already, I like the iPod itself better, but iTunes is really p*ssing me off.
I just did a sync to my computer, and then noticed some of the songs I synced have been added 2 times or more.
Example:
In iTunes, I have an album from Chimaira. When I did the origian sync, I went into the iPod and noticed some of the details where not typed in right. So I went back into iTunes and fixed them. Now with the Zune software, anytime I change any meta tag details on an album or song, the software would automaticaly fix them in the Zune player as well. I am assuming this is not the case with the iPod if you have it set to sync manualy.
So in iTunes, I re-dragged and dropped the album to the iPod in hopes to update just the detsails of the album/songs, and now instead of 11 tracks, I have 22 with each song showing up in the album twice.
This is going on for several of my albums in the iPod. How do I fix it so it shows the song only once, and if there is a song or 2 on my iPod that I want to take off of it, how do I delete from the iPod but leave it in the itunes? In the Zune setup, I could goto the player section in the software and select what songs I wanted to delete from JUST the player. But with iTunes, I am confused as how to do it.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello Rockwood610,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

Exactly. This will only happen when you have the iPod set up to sync automatically with your iTunes library. Otherwise, as you have already discovered, you will have to delete the originals from your iPod and then drag each freshly updated track back to your iPod.
how do I delete from the iPod but leave it in the itunes?
See this Apple support document for detailed instructions on how to delete content from your iPod when you have it set to sync manually.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, 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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.
