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!!

How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?
In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle. In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window. How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

Hi - I have discovered that some songs have disappeared from my itunes library and Ipod. I have found some of them in trash even though I did not trash them, as they are some of my all time favourite songs. I have now restored these trashed songs to my library/ipod.
However I cannot find some other missing songs in trash - so I have no idea where they could be! It makes me feel very insecure about itunes as a whole. I would prefer music to diamionds - and it disturbs me when music just disappears like that! An explanation/solution would be gratefully received. I wonder whether I can ask Apple to pay for the items that have gone for good!Andrea,
have you tried to update the Ipod? If not try that, but do not restore it. If you still cannot find the songs, there is - I suppose you are using windows - a nifty little program available from Findley Designs (www.findleydesigns.com) that allows you to transfer Music from your Ipod to your PC. Download it and see if it works with one song, if it does it is about USD 14 to buy and helps if you want to transfer songs from your Ipod to your computer. If you have transferred the music to your computer you can restore your Ipod-
Good luck

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.

Deleting podcasts from iTunes library AND iPod?!? HELP.
I have 61 podcasts on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
I didn't want them anymore, so I unsubscribed and deleted the podcasts from iTunes.
I synced to my iPod, assuming that the files would be automatically removed.
But they weren't.
I've tried checking and unchecking "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPod device page.
I've tried checking "Sync all episodes of:.." and then not checking any podcasts.
It's not worked so far. My iTunes is up to date and everything..my iPod charged..
Im wondering HOW do you delete podcasts - or any other music, videos...etc - from your iPod and iTunes?
Please help! Reply soon, I'm in desperate need.
Thanks.You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod. -
TS1474 Lost several albums *completely* from iTunes library AND iPod-HELP
Sooo I had been using my laptop for iTunes purchases, management, etc., and then the thing crashed and has never been revived. I decided to begin using the desktop computer to access iTunes instead, and in the process of syncing a new purchase to my iPod, somehow inadvertently lost several older albums that I had purchased earlier. Now when viewing my library on either iPod or iTunes library on desktop computer, they do not appear to be present. Are they truly gone? All that money spent..poof? Please advise!

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5. -

ITunes 11.1.2 not registering new ID3 v2.4 tags (Deleting music from both library and HDD)
I'm a DJ and therefore have ALOT of editing in my iTunes music library (adding and deleting tracks, commenting, adding tracks to new- and smart playlists etc.).
Music management on the hdd -wise, I frequently use the ID3 tags for deleting tracks from both the music library and my hdd, but since updating iTunes to 11.1.2 i'm having difficulties.
I have this routine for deleting tracks:
Rating tracks due to delete with 0 stars
Going to smart playlist called 'To trash' (filter = 0 stars), select all tracks
Adding/changing genre to 'to trash'
Searching for 'Move to trash' in my HDD music folder
Move all mp3 files to trash, empty trash
iTunes, run Doug Script 'Super Remove Dead Tracks'
After the routine, all tracks I decided to delete, where deleted from both the library and hdd folder.
BUT, now it seems that Finder doesn't find any mp3 files with the ID3 metatag of 'to trash' (Step 4), hence i cannot "smart find" the tracks i want to delete.
Possible cause of the problem: i'm suspecting it to be iTunes not "tagging" properly;
All of my "DJ-tags", such as 'MTV' and 'Mainstream' etc, in comments, tagged before updating to 11.1.2, can be found by these metatags, but it seems like new tags/comments are not "registered" in the ID3 metatags - at least not recognized by Finder.
Note: I know that i can just downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes, but I'm very interested in having my equipment up to date, since I'm using it professionally, and want it to be as stable as possible with my hardware.
Any suggestions?The next question it will ask is if you want to delete from your HD.
Anyways, the topic is (mostly) about iTunes not tagging properly (apparently).
Yes, there are two issues.
ID3 tags.
Your workflow, which is way too much. Use the computer to do the work, not you. No need to pull your engine just to change the oil.
Just checked and the ID3 tags works fine here.
Do this.
System prefs > Spotlight.
Select the Privacy tab and add the drive with your media.
Then remove the drive with your media.
This will force the OS to rebuild the Spotlight index files, which where the metadata for files is stored for searching.
This app you can view the Spotlight metadata of files/folders.

Basically my iPhone 4 asked for my Apple ID and I entered it thinking it was just some check or something and then I've just been scrolling through my music library and there is a whole U2 album there and i have never even heard of U2... i clicked on one of the songs to see what it was and it came up with "This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
I Can't delete the album like I can with my other music from my phone and I don't really want to connect my phone to my laptop incase I have been hacked and it could give the person all access to my phone?
Pde lease help me out, I don't know what's happened:(Do the half billion copies of the album they gave away count as "sales"?
Let's see... An album has to sell 500,000 copies to go gold, 1,000,000 copies to go Platinum, 10,000,000 copies to go diamond... What will they come up with for 500,000,000 copies sold?

Delete from Party Shuffle deleted songs from music library
I deleted about 40 songs from my Party Shuffle list, and for some reason, iTunes deleted the music entirely from my iTunes music library, and from the other playlists the music was on. The "undo" option is no longer available and the music is no longer on the clipboard. Unfortunately I do not remember which tracks were deleted, but some of the tracks that I burned from CD's no longer appear in the "iTunes Music" folder.
If you hold alt when deleting a song, it will delete it from the playlist and from the library.
iTunes moves the files into the trash but iTunes does not empty the trash.
