Playlist on ipod different from computer after disconnecting

Hi! This just starting happening once I upgraded to Itunes 9. I sync my ipod and iphone and the playlists (mostly just my top 25 most played) are the same UNTIL I disconnect them from the computer. Then they're magically different. HELP!

Frequently a restore is required for your problem:
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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
Hope this helps...

No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...

Yesterday, I decided to plug my mom's ipod into my macbook to transfer some songs onto the ipod for her. After transferring songs onto her ipod, using my macbook and itunes, I plugged my ipod back in to sync and delete songs. However, that option is no longer working. My ipod syncs, but I'm not able to delete/add songs, playlists, etc... I tried deauthorizing the laptop and reauthorizing it through itunes, restarting my ipod and laptop, and reinstalling itunes. But, nothing seems to work. Help please!

Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
3) download and install the above version 605.
I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
Your mileage may vary.

Ipod dissapearing from itunes after long time connected?

I am not sure on the time it takes.. or if there is a set time... but my ipod dissappears from my Itunes list (i have to unplug/replug to get it to resynch)
Its still seen in windows as connected via USB.
Its the latest 7.0.70 itunes and 1.2 for my 5th gen gen 1 ipod

Just a quick update. (and possible quick fix) I checked "enable disk use" on both of my ipods. I then enjected my nano and hooked it back up and my 5.5G iPod did remain on the source list as did the Nano. I suspect if I did the same thing but only ejecting the 5.5G iPod that the Nano would also remain connected. I just did this, so I don't know if this quick fix will help keep your iPod connected to the source list or not. I'll post back later if one of my iPods drops off the source list again. I have a sneaky suspician disk use won't allow the iPod to drop off the source list.

Background color differs from computer to computer

1. I have a page where users can enter some data, some of the fields have back ground color YELLOW on SOME computers (same browser version IE 7...) ,I never seen it on my desktop and some others but I see it on few others.
2. some of the text looked BOLD on some computers.
What could be the reason?
3. some of the buttons seems to be diff than other, Image vs HTML buttons , I saw the threads talk about "rebooting display server". what is display server. I reboot apache but nothing changes. what is display server?

Display server is X.11 server, different from Apache, ask your DBA for bouncing this

Trouble disconnecting Ipod from computer after updating/charging

Just bought a 5th gen and I started to have this problem. The first few times after it updated, the window on my Ipod showed the battery being/finished charged, and allowed my to disconnect. Now after updating, it just keeps showing "Do not disconnect" and will not allow me to unhook. (I have to go to USB icon on tool bar and dissconnect that way, even though it still shows do not disco on the Ipod window.)
Is there something wrong, and will I create a problem on my Ipod discoing the way I do?
Thanks
Jim

it recognizes my ipod but when i click the sync button nothing happens and my ipod is still missing the songs that i just bought from my computer
try playing one of the purchased songs for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the purchases transfer to the ipod when you sync?

Smart playlists songs different from computer to iphone

Hi, I can't seem to get my smart playlists to match from phone to computer. I wan't to get the top 25 played list on my iphone, but the list is no where near correct but it is right on the desktop computer. I would love to listen to the 25 most played songs on my iphone. Please help!

Off the top of my head, I can only think that you do not have the same musics on the iPod that you have on the computer.
Is your iPod full? Because if it is, what may be happening is that you do not have your computer's the top played songs in your iPod, and it falls back to the iPod's available Top played songs.
Make sure that you select the musics you want to sync. I think you can sync playlists? (not sure, but if you can, sync your top played playlists, and whatever else, and then choose the option to fill the ipod with the remaining available space)

Can I transfer music from my Ipod to my computer after computer crash?

We had problems with our computer and had to run recovery on it. Everything that was stored in the computer is gone, including all the music we downloaded to ITunes from old CDs. All the music is still stored in my IPod touch. Is there any way I can transfer the music FROM the IPod back to my ITunes library?

Welcome to the discussion,
Make sure your newly installed computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there to do what you want, but not supported by Apple, so you'll have to do this on your own risk. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Playlist order sorts differently from music library and ipod

When I resort a playlist in iTunes and transfer it to my iPod I notice the songs take on a different order. Any one know how to get the desired playlist order to "stick" so it's preserved on the iPod?

If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

Ipod works on computer, not disconnected.

iTunes was not allowing me to add songs to my dearest ipod, "Charlie". Later my computer wouldn't recognize Charlie at all. I tried restarting my computer, I tried a different firewire, and I tried rebooting my ipod. When I went to ipod software, it said there was an ipod attached, but not mounted on the desktop. I chose to restore factory settings. When I disconnected my ipod the memory was erased and the software was working fine. I reattached it and added some songs. And then, when I disconnected it, it went straight to the apple logo and then the folder icon with an exclamation point.
My computer is still recognizing the ipod and allowing me to add and play songs from it while attached. However when disconnected all i get is the folder.
Any suggestions before I send my ipod for service? Does anyone think it's silly to pay $250 for an expired warranty ipod to be serviced/ replaced when you can basically buy a new one for that price?
Help!

"Any suggestions before I send my ipod for service? Does anyone think it's silly to pay $250 for an expired warranty ipod to be serviced/ replaced when you can basically buy a new one for that price?"
Before you send it away, have you tried a repair of the iPod hard drive via the first aid tab using disk utility? Then a restore using the iPod updater.
Yes, that is silly to pay that price when there are 3rd party repair options that are cheaper.
The fact that it works ok on the computer may suggest a bad battery, which if so, will be considerable cheaper to fix.

IPod 80 GB stuck after disconnecting

I just bought two iPod's 80 GB for my daughters.
The first one I synchronised flawlessly with my iTunes library, although it took 12 hours with the USB-connection to load the some 9,000 songs.
The second one started the synchronisation process, when I saw that I had mistyped my daughter's name. I tried to correct it, but to no avail. So I made the stupid and fatal mistake: Remembering that it took 12 hours to load, I disconnected the iPod while loading, assuming that I could restart it easily.
Now the iPod is not recognised by the computer, let alone iTunes.
When connected to the USB bus it has two alternate states:
1. unlit grey display, showing the Apple logo.
a soft clicking sound reminding of a disk starting up is heard
After a couple of minutes the second states appears for some minutes
2. unlit grey display with a large battery icon showing about 1/4/ charge
This goes on and on.
Reset, restart, reinstall, nothing works.
I appreciate all help.
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iTunes 7.0.2

Try putting the iPod in disk mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Then connect it to iTunes, and restore it once it is recognized. If it's not recognized by iTunes but appears on the desktop, go into Disk Utility and erase the drive, then try again.

Ipod won't work after disconnecting improperly

My husband shut down the computer while the Ipod Nano was still connected -- it wasn't ejected properly. Now...when I plug the Nano in to the computer, it alternately flashes the Apple logo and then the low battery icon over and over. I've tried:
1. Rebooting it by toggling on/off the hold button and then pressing Menu and Select at the same time. Nothing.
2. Recharging it in the car. (The Nano did work in the car!) When I went to turn it on after I removed it from the car, it went back to the flashing apple/low-battery icons.
3. I re-installed Ipod and updater software. Nothing changed.
So...what should I try next?

Try this then...

Songs appear on iPod in iTunes, but after disconnected, pod is empty

HELP HELP HELP
I'm having a very strange issue. I copy songs from my iBook to my iPod, and they appear on the pod in iTunes, but when I disconnect the iPod, the pod says there are no songs on it.
I've tried EVERYTHING!! I reformatted the iBook, restored the iPod, tried different USB port, set up a different user, etc...
The strange thing is, when I use the iPod on my G4 Tower (exact same operating system as the iBook), the songs transfer fine. And when I use an older 3G iPod on the iBook, the songs transfer over fine. It's like the iPod and the iBook just don't get along!!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

My MacBook recently crashed. :(
I had my iPod Touch 2G synced to it. I know how to sync my iPod to the new computer and keep iTunes Purchased content but what I don't know is how to sync it and not lose any songs, pictures etc. that were not downloaded from iTunes. Can someone please help?
Thanks in Advance!

P.S. I do have a backup of my iTunes library because we were able to save my data from the old Mac but it was not fully up-to-date because I had begun to download most of my things over the air without ever plugging in to iTunes.

Make sure your newly set up MacBook is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
