Playlist are Syncing different on ipod

Every time I sync my Ipod, the playlist on the Ipod itself do not match up to the way they are on my Itunes. on the Ipod they are in a complete random order but, when I look at the music on my Ipod when it is connected to Itunes it shows that all the playlist match up. This did not start happening until after I downloaded the new software upgrade 3.1.2 anyone know how to help?
I have already tries restoring the Ipod 3 different times which did not help.

Hello Brett,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps this Apple support document can assist you. It says Smart Playlists, but should apply to your regular playlists as well. Worth a shot.

Hi, InsaneCharlie.
Thanks for the question. I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes. If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

Not all my songs in my itunes library are synced to my ipod

Why not all my songs in itunes library are synced to my ipod classic?

Have you set iTunes to Sync all the music to your iPod?
If you have set it up as step 1, did you also select Sync only ticked songs and videos on the Summary pane?
If you chose step 2, are the songs mising form the iPod ticked in your Library? If not, that's why they are not on your iPod.
Alternatively, where are you looking for the songs on your iPod? For example, If you cannot find the artist on the artist menu, have you looked under the album title or the song's title?

Only a few songs in playlist are sync correctly.

I've recently made a purchase of an iMac, and I was synchronizing my iPhone to my new Mac.
However, after synchronizing, I've found that the songs that I have categorized them into various playlists aren't found in the lists.
Those songs are in my phone, under songs, but not under the playlists where I want them to be. I never encountered such problem with my itunes in the previous computer. Please help!

I'm having this exact same issue. I have the latest version of iTunes, and my iPhone 4 is up to date.
I have a playlist on iTunes with over thirty songs in it. I syncned my itunes with my iPhone 4, in order to have that playlist on my phone's iPod. When I check my iPod, however, the playlist is indeed there, but it only contains one song. The rest of the songs that are supposed to be on the playlist are not there. And no matter how many times I sync my phone, nothing changes.
I've tried everything. Manually managing my songs, dragging the playlist into my phone, etc.

My sis and I share the same library for iTunes but when she tries to uncheck my songs and syncs hers, my songs are synced to her iPod still making her delete my songs. What can she do?

So my sis and I share the same iTunes library on the comp, and when ever she wants to sync her music, she unchecks all my songs. But once she unchecked my songs and syncs hers onto her iPod, my songs are there still. We've unchecked all my songs manually but my songs still sync onto her iPod. I want to know what to do because she ends up deleting my songs and when ever I wanna sync my songs, it takes me forever. PLEASE HELP ME GUYS!!

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
Simplest way is to create a New User Account for each of you...
Each user will then have their own iTunes library.

Not all iTunes playlists are syncing on my iPhone

These are not Smart Playlists, just plain vanilla manual playlists. iPhone 5 with latest iOS installed. Windows 7 with latest iTunes installed. I've removed the Music Library entirely from the iPhone, then re-synced with the "Entire Music Library" radio button selected, but still only about half of my 12 or so playlists are showing up on the iPhone. Suggestions?

Is Syncing Different Than iPod?

I have to use playlists to sync my music, were as with my iPod, i could just drag songs/albums straight into the iPod. Is tthis the case for everyone?

Yes.

How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

And what is the wording of the error message?

Which songs are synced to my ipod, please help!

Earlier today i played my ipod and it had all the music on it i liked, this evening i added a few more songs to my itunes while my ipod nano was not connected. When i went to sync them together to add on my new songs, my itunes said something about being synced to another itunes and if i wanted to sync my origonal music, i ticked this box thinking it would still have all the music on i payed for and the songs i downloaded. Instead it came up with lodes of old songs that i deleted ages ago. I was thinking it may of been synced to another itunes a while ago and this has happaned before but i did the right thing then. I just really want the music back I have payed for and cant seem to get them by going to the store menu for some reasoon? please help

Your music will only be where you put it. it should be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

Why aren't some of my songs in my Itunes playlist not syncing to my ipod?

There is no exclamation mark, they all play in itunes, they are all mp3 format, there is room on my ipod, and they are not from different accounts, so what's going on?

No, they're not going onto my ipod at all. In the end i had enough and downloaded different versions from other sites and they worked but i still want to know what is going on because if it happens again with more songs it will be difficult to re-do all of them.

Purchase Playlist wont sync with my ipod

Recently I am syncing my itunes with my ipos and I can not see the purchase folder in my ipod. Help PLEASE!
SONY VIAO Windows XP Pro

You will not see a Purchased playlist the iPod unless you create a new playlist.
The one just below iTunes store does not get transferred over, even if you transfer everything. The songs will get transferred, just not the playlist.

I just upgraded my iTunes to version 11 on Windows 7. I lost all my Playlists. They are still on my iPod touch 1st gen, but not in iTunes. How can I get them back?

I tried importing the iTunes Music Library.xml file, however it just duplicates the default playlists already in iTunes. The playlists are still on my iPod Touch, just not in iTunes 11. Therefore, I cannot manage and organize any songs into the existing playlists. I do not want to have to go through and manually create the playlists again. Any suggestions would really be appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hello.
I found my playlists. They were never removed. It appears that iTunes 11 shows them in a different place. Which is kind of annoying. Even more annoying trying to add purchased songs to the playlists on your iPod.
- Click on the iPod button on the top right of your screen (beside the iTunes Store button)
- Click Playlists along the middle of the top of the iTunes window
There are the playlists from your iPod
Kind of frustrating to add the songs, but the way I did it is:
- Click on the song you want to add to your iPod playlist from your iTunes library
- Click the arrow beside the song and select "Add to Up Next"
- Go to your iPod playlists as per the above instructions
- Click on the list icon in the same bar as the Apple icon on the top of the window (it is to the right of the apple icon)
- Now drag that song to the playlist(s) on your iPod
I am sure there is a much simpiler way....I just dont have time to figure it out right now. If anyone has any simpiler way of doing this, please reply!!

HELP! iPod playlists are always getting f...d up! HELP!

This is a strange problem, infinite thanks to the person who can help me!
Once I updated my iTunes 5 to iTunes 6, on a different computer I have; shortly after that, the problem started:
I can arrange the main-folder AND/OR playlists on my iPod nano HOW I want, every time I disconnect and reconnect the iPod to my computer it's back to a totally confused state. WHY???
The width AND the chosen columns are always changed again, no matter what I do. I even resetted the iPod several times plus I put it back to its "original state" on iTunes 7 that I now have on my PC. Still the same problem. I think it has something to do with the iPod, not iTunes.
PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE as this is a really annoying problem.

Additional information:
In the beginning, with iTunes 6, the problem "only occured" when I created playlists on my iPod. When I had no playlists at all on it, nothing happened. But even when I only put one song in my "On The Go"-playlist, the problem would appear as soon as I connected the iPod to the computer.
NOW with iTunes 7 ans much more options available for the connected iPod, the problem also occures when NO playlists are created on the iPod. :'-(
Funnily, now only the main folder seems to be cursed with this problem. The playlists I created on the iPod with iTunes stay how I wanted them. WEIRD!!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Playlist Syncing question for Ipod Classic

I recently bought a 120 gig Ipod while I have over a 120 gigs of music. I synced it to my library and the usual "there is not enough room, do you want us to select music to put on the ipod" message came up. I put yes and it made me the playlist and synced to my iPod
However, now it won't let me make any other playlists to sync to it, even if I use the songs that are already on the iPod. It only syncs the one playlist that it originally made. I don't even see the recently played, or top 25 played songs/playlists on it.
Anyone know how to make new playlists that I can sync to it?

Instead of syncing to the default playlist created by iTunes, create your own Smart Playlist to limit the contents of your iPod. Something like this:
o Match all criteria
o Kind does not contain video
o Last Played is not in the last 14* days
o Limit to 100GB* selected by Random
*You can change these numbers to suit your preference.
If you sync to this playlist, it will serve as the "master" playlist. If you want additional playlists, you can either create more smart playlists that contain the criteria "Playlist is (playlist name)" where you use the name of the master playlist. You can also create regular playlists, but those may contain content that is outside the master playlist, thus increasing the amount of music you sync to and possibly exceed your iPod's capacity again.
If you go this route, you can auto-sync to just these playlists. The "Last Played" criteria in your master playlist lets you cycle through your library -- as songs are played they are removed from your iPod within 14 days (or however long you prefer).
There is a very helpful guide on this subject located here:

Viewing audio files that are syncing

How do I view a list of the audio files that are syncing to my ipod during the sync process. Until I downloaded 7 I could see the files that were syncing and they had a mark next to them but I have not figured out how to view the files in my music list that are marked for syncing.
Thx
