Playlist order on iPod not same as iTunes
I have a 80-ish song playlist. I will occasionally go into the list in itunes and re-shuffle it. On subsequent sync's however, the ipod will revert to the old shuffled order which does not match the itunes order. I have tried copying the playlist and renaming it and deleting the old one. But it just did it again. I am stumped. How is it continuing to revert to the order on the ipod that is no longer on itunes? This is not a shuffle/random issue, but a playlist version issue. Thanks.
In iTunes select the playlist name and *Copy to play order* then sync.
Or you can just go set Settings -> Shuffle* to Songs on the iPod and play the playlist.

Ipod not appearing on itunes or mac desktop
Hi! I own a 160g ipod classic. What is happening is I plug it to my macbook pro and it sits there thinking for a long time, after which two dialogue windows appear, one that says the device was ejected incorrectly and then another one that says that the ipod could not be synced because it could not be found. Then the ipod freezes on the do not disconnect screen and I have to reset it in order to get it going again. Can anyone help me?? PLease!! I'm in charge of music for New Year's Eve! Thanks so much!!

Sorry that your iPod isn't recognized. The following articles should help you sort out what is going on and get your iPod working again. I didn't see if you are using OS X or Windows, so I included the articles for each.

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?
You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store. -

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?
You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

It would be best to post your question in the general iTunes forums. This forum is for those administering iTunes U sites, so it's not the best place to ask general iTunes usage questions (which is probably why the original question has gone unanswered).

Why is my iPod not recognized in iTunes?
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

ever since the ios5 update some of my ipod songs come out as duplicate and only on my ipod not on my itunes why is that? how can i fix it?
Hey Ryan, When you looked at Get Info as Illaass instructed did you compare all the info listed in iTunes Get Info on the computer's copy? When you looked at the song(s) that are separated, do they list anything different like a featured artist? Or a different composer / song writer? Sometimes that will trick the the software into thinking it is 2 different albums. Make the info about the album and artist match, then sync to your iPod. The songs should go back where they belong on your iPod. Good luck. Cheers.

IPod not recognised by iTunes & Playlists missing
Part 1;
iTunes no longer recognises my iPod - I've tried a few things to fix this (including removing & reinstalling iTunes) but have had no luck
Part 2;
there are no longer any Playlists on my iPod.
This seems to have happened as a result of an aborted attempt to install the latest iTunes update. The iPod was connected at the time.
So firstly I need to be able to get iTunes to recognise my iPod (the laptop is recognising the iPod).
Then I need to restore my playlists (& play counts etc). The music on my iPod is not the same as the music in iTunes so to sync from there isn't a solution.
The iPod is a three year old 60gb photo. The iPod itself did have around 13,000 files & when I check the properties whilst connected to the laptop these do show, however on the iPod's own 'about' list, only around 7000 are shown.
Any help greatly appreciated.i bought a new iPOD classic and thought i would simply be able to sync my itunes into it. But no - i have been able to manually put on 3000 odd songs but have another 7000 to do - and now my iPOD keeps getting disconnected with an error message saying folder ( or file ) not found and error number either 162 or 172 - can anyone assist ?

Ipod not recognised in itunes or my computer - and no 'devices' option
I am in Windows XP, 'My Computer' doesn't recognise my iPod and neither does itunes. Please can someone help!?!
I have 60Gb colour screen ipod (but not video ipod) and has worked for the last year approx since I had it, always used to update automatically as soon as I plugged iPod into the computer. I had been using an old version of itunes until last night I was finally told that in order to continue to purchase music from itunes I have to download the latest version (itunes 7.02). This downloaded fine but today went to sync my ipod and get the new music/podcasts on my ipod and I can't seem to get itunes to recognise my ipod at all.
I don't have a 'devices' option (just Library, Store, Playlists), no iPod symbol and 'Sync ipod' in 'File' cannot be selected. Can't find ipod in My Computer either. All it does is charge when I plug it in, even though battery is already fully charged!
I have tried restarting computer, plugging in ipod before starting the comp, uninstalling and re-installing itunes, checking in 'run' etcetc
Please help...can't put any of my music on to my ipod
Thx
Rachel
Windows XPJust in case this problem is affecting anyone else - I have since found the following post by 'Thegua' and it has worked so thank you so so so much!!
(I only had to get as far as reinstalling my iPod, didn't have to continue on to doing the 5Rs, and I didn't lose any music) THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!.....
The solution 2 ur problem is the ipod 5R's . u will need 2 reset ur ipod and if possble reinstall de ipod and itunes softwares. but first u will need 2 try reseting ur ipod , it will not delet the songs on ur ipod, it refreshes ur ipod. try that first. move de hold button near de earphone hole. it has a red sign. move that switch back and forth about three times and press de select button (middle ) and the menu button all at de same time , then hold dem both until u see de apple logo appears (apple sign). the release all buttons, ur ipod is reset. if this work then do the 5R's.to know wat de 5R's are go to apple.com and u will see it at de left hand corner of ur screen. it is five steps that will correct any problems u r having with ur ipod. it should correct them. it involve resetting ur ipod, restarting ur computer, reinstalling ur ipod and itunes softwares and runing de updator files, and all that. try it, if that dont work it means u will have 2 send the ipod 4 repairs.

Ipod not recognized by itunes or laptop
i have an ipod touch 4g and i can't get it to be recognized by my sony vaio laptop.
i recently got a new laptop and just finished transferring my itunes library over to it.
i went to sync my ipod, but i had endless problems with my old and new library. long story short, i reset it completely.
on my ipod, i set everything back to their old settings and whatnot, but when i went to sync it, my ipod didnt show up in my computer or itunes.
i restarted, checked for updates, and all that with amds and itunes. i followed every suggestion from apple support, troubleshoot, and ran diagnostics from itunes. the diagnostics still say that there is not an ipod found.
on its own, my ipod functions correctly and recognizes to be charged from my usb port. itunes and windows wont recognize it though
is there anything else i can do? this is really frustrating me.
thanks!- So you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- Does it charge?
- Have you tried another cable?
- Try a known good compuuter.
- Reset the iPod, nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
