Playlists missing songs on 2G 4gb nano

Just got my new 2G 4gb blue nano today. I already have a 5G iPod and everything on iTunes autosyncs to it.
I have manual sync set to the nano and have picked some playlists to transfer over to it.
The playlists and songs are there, but I have one playlist: Recently Added, that has one song in it.
When I connect the nano and expand the view and click on the playlist, all of the songs show up under the playlist.
But on the nano itself, only one song shows up under the playlist.
Any others having this issue?

I have identified what the issue is with the playlist.
The playlist is called Recently Added.
The criteria I have for this playlist (I believe it is created by deafult under iTunes) is:
Date Added
is in the last
60 days
I also have other options to exclude podcastgs, tv shows, movies and radio (which I have a few radio shows I download to my iPod).
I changed the criteria to be:
Date Added
is after
8/5/06
The list of songs is now there on the nano.
So it appears that the operand "is in the last" is causing the problem. Not sure why it's broken on the new nano but works on my other iPods, but obviously something is not working.
I did not test all of the operands for Date Added, but the few I tried worked without any issues.

  • Skipping songs and only letting me put 300 songs onto my 4GB nano

    On my 2nd generation nano ipod, it will play a couple songs and then skip a lot. Certain songs will skip and certain songs will play. any suggestions?
    My other problem is it will only let me hold about 300 songs on my 4GB nano. Right now i have 326 songs and it says " 2.12 GB required, 47.58 MB remaining" I'v had his ipod for about 2 years.

    While I think the first may be related to the second, I will pass on it.
    The song count can vary widely depending on the format and quality of encoding. What are your songs encoded as, and what bitrate/quality are you using?
    Are all your songs encoded the same? Easy way to check that is to enable the "kind" column (right click on the column headings) in your main iTunes display then sort by that column. Quality/bitrate can be seen using the "bit rate" one.

  • IOS 7 problems finding songs, playlist missing songs

    I had a playlist that included several songs from a particular artist but since upgrading from iOS 6.1.3 I can only see one of the tracks remaining. The other songs appear to be removed and searching for missing songs/parent album/artist does not produce any results at all.
    The songs are still on the iPhone and I can navigate to them, but only as follows:
    Play the one surviving track from this artist/album still in my playlist.
    Switch to 'now playing' to select other tracks on the album, including the missing playlist items that Music Search can't find.
    It seems like an indexing problem. I'll try removing all the music and resyncing from iTunes and reply with the results. Maybe this will help someone else...
    Running iOS 7.0.2 on iPhone 5 64GB. Problem has been present since iOS 7.0.0
    Music ~= 20-30GB on iPhone.

    Third update (sync takes hours so I can only do this once a day...)
    iTunes 11.1.1 did not help.
    I deleted all music on the device from Settings > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete (which, incidentally, took two attempts before it actually deleted it).
    Then I performed a clean sync of my selected playlists again (about 5800 songs)
    The sync completed but the iphone was still missing over 1500 songs.
    I tried another sync immediately. The process stayed on 'waiting to apply changes' for about 15 minutes, then completed. A few more songs were sync'd but it was still missing 1400+ songs.
    The playlist with missing songs was still missing some tracks, but different ones this time. To test if the playlist was the problem I deleted all music from the iPhone again and sync'd just two playlists, including the problematic one. It sync'd all tracks on both playlists, so it doens't appear to be the playlist that is breaking the sync.
    I will try one last attempt by restoring the phone as a new device then syncing all my playlists before reapplying the backup data. If that still doesn't work then there is clearly a problem with the sync process that previously worked fine on earlier versions of iOS / iTunes.

  • Song Capacity for 4gb Nano

    I am currently thinking of purchasing the 4gb Nano. It states a 1000 song capacity, does anyone know, if you do not use it for photos, will it store more songs?

    Try not to think in terms of song quantity. It's merely an estimate.
    There is no limit on the number of songs it can hold. You are limited by the available space on the iPod Nano. Apple estimates the 1000 song capacity based on all of your tracks being 128kbps AAC files of about 4 minutes each.
    If your tracks are encoded at a lower bitrate, or are typically shorter than 4 minutes each... then you'll fit more songs.
    If they are encoded at a higher bitrate, and are typically longer than 4 minutes each... you'll fit less songs.
    Photos and music share the same available space on the iPod. If you don't use photos, you'll have more space for songs. If you do use photos, you'll have less space for songs.

  • Skipping Songs in a 4GB Nano

    Merry Christmas,
    I've spent the morning trying to figure out why my son's new iPod won't play all the songs he just loaded. Of 75, about 25 played. I went through the five Rs, then did the following:
    1. Created a new playlist in iTunes for the songs he wanted on the iPod.
    2. Synced the iPod to this playlist only.
    3. Dragged songs to the playlist one at a time, starting with songs purchased through iTunes.
    4. Checked the iPod after every five songs to ensure play.
    He's now able to listen to the songs from iTunes, but once I add songs imported from a CD, the iPod starts skipping the songs purchased from iTunes. Very odd. Could this be a permission issue? A file type issue?
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

  • Recently played playlist missing songs

    Running iTunes 12.0.1 on a macbook pro running Yosemite, syncing manually to an iPhone 6 with iOS 6, Music Match turned on.
    When I listen to music on the iPhone, then sync, not all the songs I listened to show up in the Recently Played playlist on the mac. It might show one song, but not the songs played after it. The list is correct on the iPhone. While I have Match turned on, all the songs at issue are on the devices, not in the cloud.

  • Playlists, songs not displaying on nano

    I am unable to see any new playlist or song in my iPod nano.
    I just purchased a 4GB black nano, installed iTunes 5.01.
    To try it out, I purchased 1 album and 3 individual songs. iTunes created a playlist called "Purchased". All songs were downloaded and put into this playlist.
    I have tried both option setting to auto and manual updates. I can see my iPod and everything as it should be from iTunes but when I browse the iPod nothing shows up.
    I have restored factory settings and tried again.. Still nothing shows up despite I can see it in iTunes.

    Hah! I figured it out. I had a virtual drive mapped to d: (from the subst command in my startup). I removed the mapped drive and all was well.
    I had a hint that this was the problem from another thread.
    I wish it could have at least given me an error message that would have given me a clue..
    Anyhow, problem solved and everything is working great!

  • I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there.  What could be happening?  What am I doing wrong?

    I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists.  Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist.  I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it.  I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.

  • Missing songs from playlists after moving to a new mac

    Bought a new imac 5k. On my old Mac (Pro) I saved the library.xml file in order to save all my playlists (about 70), rather than save each individual playlist file (which would have taken too long.)
    Moved the library.xml file to my imac, "added to playlist", and it brought over all my old playlists. Cool, right?
    Nope. Many of them are missing songs now. I wrote down how many songs wee in each playlist on the Mac Pro before cleaning it out, and the same new playlist on my imac has a wrong/smaller song count.
    Now, I have to try and figure out which ones I'm missing? Ugh. Why didn't ALL of the the sings on each playlist transfer over? Any idea how to fix this? Running Yosemite 10.10.1.

    You can't install Adobe applications by copying from a backup.
    Start by cleaning out all the CS apps using Adobe Cleaner Tool:

  • Can I use my nano to add missing songs to iTunes?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I've been trying to transfer my iTunes library from my old PC to my new Mac. I was having a lot of trouble with it, so I got in touch with Apple Support, who were very helpful, but nothing worked. In the process, any songs in my iTunes library that I hadn't downloaded from the iTunes store went missing. I haven't been able to find them, and neither could Apple Support. I still have everything on my iPod nano. Can I use that to add the missing songs to my iTunes library on my Mac?

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder. You would have to try really, really hard for this method not to work.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Playlist of songs missing artwork

    Not sure how to word this correctly, but is there anyway of making a playlist of songs that have missing artwork?  I don't want a program that will find them and automatically add it from amazon or iTunes, but would just like a list of what songs are missing the artwork, then be able to put it in on my own.  I know there is a program that used to do this - but new computer and forgot what the program was called... Any help would be greatly appreciated - [email protected]

    Well, I am not sure if there's a way to only view the songs that are on your ipod inside iTunes but, I know that if you bought them on the iPod that iTunes creates a playlist of only songs that you bought on that device. Another thing you can do, is command click on each song that you want to add to a play list and it will drag all the selected songs into that play list, then, what you can do is, go to File, Library, Export Play List, and select the play list that has only the songs you want. It should give you a .xml file, which you can then store on an external hard drive. Later, if you need to add that play list, you can go to File, Library, Import Play List, and select the play list you made. Hope that helps.
    Ps. Command clicking on files, allows you to select more than one at a time. And Shift click allows you to select all the files under or above a certain file, up to a certain point. Like if you have, files 1-5, you can Shift click on file 1 and file 5 and it will select files 1-5 for you.

  • Missing songs, missing videos, and missing playlist

    Now that I updated itunes seems like I'm missing videos. Before the update I was and still am missing songs and playlist. This includes songs I had put in with cd's.
    I don't dare try to sync my phone or ipad. My phone has all the music on there from when itunes wasn't broke.I just have to deal with changing the Christmas music right away.  I thought maybe the update would help. Silly me.
    Does anyone know if there is something that can be done for this problem

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and ask them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • 4gb nano will only accept 285 songs

    My daughter was helping me set up and download songs from my itunes library on my computer to my new 4gb nano. The screen says 285 songs from my computer are over 5 gigs. What's the scoop? New nano and just downloaded software. Should hold up to 1,000 +/-. Is there a way to scroll through the library to check the file size on each song? How do I solve this problem?
    thank you, new iPod user

    it also depends what format you copy the songs into iTunes. If they're copied in Lossless format(specifically Apple Lossless) they take up like 15 to 35Mb per song!!. I had same problem with same iPod Nano 4G and tht was the problem. the best format is MPeg audio files.
