Please help, I moved my music from library 2my ipod, and it's not there...

I've uploaded my music onto my library, which including converting music to a compatible format, and moved it to my ipod in iTunes. In the list everything is there. However, once I disconnect my ipod and switch it on, only 4-5 songs appear. Yet I've moved about 80 songs onto it.
Can someone help me? I have so much music that I want to put on my 30gig ipod, but if I can't get it to work, I'm considering to return it. (Which is sad cause it was a 21st Bday pressie.)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thankyou.

If you don't want a bunch of sub-folders all you need to do is create a new Compilation and call it - mp3's or what ever - select all the tunes that you want in that Compilation from the main iTunes window - CMD-I and Compilation =Yes. All those tune will now be in on folder located in the Compilations folder of iTunes. For this to work you also need to select the 'keep' option.

  • I need help regarding moving my music from pc to PalmPre+ and my amazon account. . .

    Recently I had to have my Palm Pre+ replaced w/warranty. I'd backed up my stuff onto my pc. When I tried to drag & drop my music to my replacement palm, instead of it saying, 'copy to music', like it usually says, it had a circle with a line through it on some of the songs. On other songs, it seemed like the files were dragging & dropping, but when I unsynced my palm, the music wasn't on my palm. I know I was doing it correctly cuz I've done it many times before, w/out any problems. Finally, after about an hour of trying to get the music files onto my phone w/no success, I gave up.
    The next day, I remembered that I'd also saved my ringtones in a separate folder. Some of the ringtones had been some of my songs, set as ringtones. I wondered if I'd be able to drag & drop the music files from that file onto my Palm, so I tried it. Oddly enough, when I checked to see if they'd made it onto my Palm, they had! The only problem is, I'd only used about 13 of my 40 or so songs as ringtones, and those are the only ones I've been able to move to my Palm.
    I'm thinking it may have something to do w/the fact that, since changing to this new Palm, I'm also unable to download anymore music. I keep getting a message that there's no account & creditcard associated w/my my phone. The last time that happened, I just removed the creditcard account and readded it and it was fine. That was w/the old Palm though. This time, it's not letting me do it and I have no clue why. I sure hope someone can help me w/these problems. Thanks,  Renee

    Are you upgrading from an existing iPhone? Back up old phone, then restore new phone with the cable. I had to do this a number of time to get all my purchases across.

  • Can't get music from library to iPod

    Ok, I hope someone can help me out a little here. I tried to use my iPod as an external hard drive so that I could migrate my music from old CPU to new CPU. Somehow, I've managed to clear the music from my iPod (but not library). Now, I can't get my music back onto my iPod b/c it says there's insufficient memory.
    Any ideas?

    Try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    This will completely erase the iPod hard drive.

  • HELP New user, importing Music from library ( WMA )

    I am a new user to Itunes ( bit late i know ).
    I need to move my music ( my music folder ) into itunes.
    I have over 40Gb of music. If i import music folder through Itunes using the file > Import folder menu, i am lead to belive that firstly all my music will need to be converted to Mp3. this is not a problem althouigh i am sure it will take a long time.
    My main worry is that when converting the music into itunes the origional my music folder will stay where it is therefore doubling up my music to over 80Gb and therefore will not fit on my hard drives.
    i tried to cut and paste my music files into the itunes music folder within my music although it doesnt appear in my library???
    Any help appreciated!!!!
    Many thanks.

    Moving files into the iTunes library doesn't comvert them to MP3.
    iTunes can only use unprotected WMA files. If you are trying to add protected WMA songs, they won't go into the iTunes library.
    You can leave all the music files where they are. iTunes will only copy them to the iTunes folder if you have that option checked.

  • HT1719 Hi I'm unable to synchronize music from library to ipod - no music displayed on ipos

    Hi
    I have downloaded CDs to my library, which were showing on my Ipod.  I then went on to download some a new CD which synchronized, but then didn't show up on the Ipod and deleted all the first albums downloaded - therefore no music on the ipad whatsoever, but the original music is still in the library.  Can someone please help!

  • Can't transfer purchased music from library to IPod mini

    I have a two year old IPod mini that I haven't used in awhile. We recently had a computer crash and reinstalled the operating system with Windows XP Pro. I no longer have the original CD that came with my IPod when it was purchased. I have been able to download music to my library, however, when I plug my IPod into the computer, I get the message that my IPod sync is complete, and it is ok to disconnect. The problem is that I can't get the music from the library onto my IPod. What am I doing wrong?

    I checked to see what form of software I had for my IPod, it turns out I have the updated version of the IPod software as well as the newest version of I Tunes. I opened my library and plugged my IPod in and hit the sync button, after 5 seconds or so it told me sync was complete, ok to disconnect IPod. I still have no music on the IPod and no idea what the problem could be.

    Make sure that you have set iTunes to "manage songs manually" - otherwise, all synchronization is automatic and you cannot drag songs to the iPod.
    Of course, the automatic synchronization works fine if that is what you want/need (that is what I use, works fine)

  • Please Help: Unable To Transfer Songs from Itunes To Ipod

    I've been plagued with problems every since Thursday when I was attempting to put new songs on my iPod. I got the dreaded sad face with the go to apple support site link. I've did the 5 R's but still no luck. I even reformatted it cause at one point in time I got a pop up telling me that the drive needed to be formatted. Well after doing this and updating it finally appeared to be operating correctly. I was able to load roughly three cd's on it before it went screwy again. I've ended up with the monochrome apple display and then the stupid disk mode do not disconnect one too. I've finally gotten it as of this morning to show up normal but now as soon as I connect my iPod to iTunes I get this pop up error
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/Mike5150/6a28448b.jpg
    Then if I attempt to load any songs it appears to try it but then it hangs up and I get this message.

    Any ideals as to what is wrong with this stupid piece of censored;) I'm at my wits end and you have no ideal how bad I wanna stomp this little white box!!

    Well since your getting the "Sad ipod" face, you may have to sent it in for repair. That said, the "iTUnesDB is corrupt" message is covered here along with ways to have windows format the ipod (Link Below)
    Now if you do have to format the ipod with windows, when windows is done YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT WITH THE IPOD UPDATER BEFORE LOADING IT WITH ITUNES!!!!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    If you put the ipod in "Disk Mode" like the instructions say, and you can't get it to show in windows, you will have to disable the "iPodservice.exe" in task manager, format with windows THEN RESTART THE PC so the ipodservice is running again and you can restore it with the ipod updater

  • I tried updating my new iphone with my music from my old ipod and lost all of my phone contacts, picture etc. and now my phone looks like my ipod did. How do I get it back???

    I lost all of my information from my phone....I didn't back up before plugging in

    If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
    Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.

  • Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

    Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

    There is no need to transfer anything.
    Update the device via iTunes or Over the Air... no content on the device should be affected.
    If the device is used as designed and regularly backed up to iCloud or iTunes on the computer, should anything go wrong it can be restored.
