Purchased albums- do not sync in order

My purchased albums do NOT sync in the playlist order of the album. Shuffle is NOT on.
Now I am getting messages that my software is too old, click on the tab on my nano. WHAT TAB?
Gateway crap desktop Windows XP Intel Pentium III, over 512mb RAM

In iTunes, on the screen that comes up when you plug in your nano, there is an Update button. Does it say that the iPod needs to be updated or does it need updating?
If it needs an update, update it.
Also, how are you viewing the albums? That may be affecting what order you are seeing them in. Go to Music>Albums>then find the albums. does that help?
If not, try a Restore. (right next to the Update button).
Also, the iPod nano Forums may help you more in the future.
I hope this helps and post back!

Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone. Any ideas on resolving this?

Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone. Any ideas to resolve this issue?

Similar issue:
I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
In case it of any use here are the tracks:
Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

Ive restored my Ipod nano and the songs that I've already purchased are now not syncing to my device. How do I get those songs back on the nano?

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

After updating to Yosemite, some tracks on purchased albums will not play.

Hi klivak,
If you are having difficulties with playing certain tracks purchased from the iTunes Store in iTunes, I would suggest deleting those songs and then downloading them again. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have the new iPhone 4s. I'm using cloud. I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over? Please help. Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Album artwork not syncing

Ever since the new iTunes and Yosemite I find most of my album art is missing on my iPhone 5S. It's all in iTunes and looks just fine. It's mostly missing on my iPhone. I've tried removing my music library from the iPhone and then re-syncing it from scratch. Still hasn't worked. I thought maybe some one here might have an answer.
Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.1.2
Thanks!
Steve

These instructions will have to be modified if you've moved the iTunes folder from its usual location.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/Cache
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a subfolder named "Cache" selected. Quit iTunes if it's running. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Relaunch the application and re-download all album artwork.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Apps purchased on itunes not syncing with iphone

I recently purchased some apps from the App Store using iTunes but when I synced it with my iPhone it didn't work. This is the first time it's happened. All the other times I purchased apps through my macbook, they synced perfectly once I connected my iPhone, except for the ones I downloaded last night. I tried downloading them straight from the App Store in my iPhone, and when asked "You already purchased this, would you like to download it again for free?" I clicked Ok, but still nothing happened. Now I have five apps missing which I paid for and haven't even used.
Any suggestions as to what else I should try?

Similar problem. Apps downloaded to iTunes do not sync to my iPhone (Edge/2.0) despite clicking "Sync" in iTunes. The icons do not appear on the iPhone. My account shows the apps ordered in the receipt, but they only remain on my Mac.
Workaround: I had to download the apps directly (wirelessly) to the iPhone. I did not restart the iPhone.
Expected behaviour: the apps should appear on the iPhone after syncing with iTunes.

Photos not syncing in order

The photos I want loaded to my ipod are not syncing in the same order they are in the file on my computer. I have tried renaming them in the order I want them and as far as I can tell they aren't loading based on file size, or the date they were created either. Can anyone tell me how to get my pictures to load to my Ipod in the same order I have them in on my computer?

I have just read the article.
"If you are using iPhoto for Mac OS X, your photos automatically sort on your device in the same order they are sorted in iPhoto or Aperture. Changes made to the sorting of your pictures in your iPhoto or Aperture albums and events will be reflected on the device after syncing."
Well I am using OS X on my MacBook and the photos from iPhoto do not sync on my iPad in the correct event order.
Where do we go from here?

Pre - photo albums do not sync correctly!

Hi all,
Total newbie - and also a newbie to Palm. Having moved from iphone to pre, and remaining a mac user, i'm becoming a little stressed at how the simple things just dont seem to be working!!!!
I've downgraded my itunes so i can sync photos to my pre from iphoto. The problem i have is the order in which photos appear in the albums syncd to the phone.
iphoto orders photos within an album by file name - which of course means that the photos within an album are also chronologically in order too. However, when these albums are syncd to my pre, all photos within each album are in reverse order!!!!!
How can i fix this????????
Post relates to: None

Sorry, but I'm puzzled by "I can't find the folders that have the original files by using the finder." If they are missing from the Finder then iPhoto won't find them and neither will the Apple TV.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you have much more serious problems than inability to see pictures, such as disk directory damage or a failing hard drive. I hope I'm wrong.
Have you looked in Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2008? Don't change anything in there, but you should find your most recent pix and can open them with Preview. If you see any with a name like "party" as opposed to "party.jpg" that is what I mean by a filename problem. Depending on where you imported them from, this can happen.
WARNING: Do not change anything in those folders; it will ruin your iPhoto database. For details on that, best to check in with the folks in the iPhoto forum.

Apps purchased on iOS not syncing back to iTunes

Hi,
I am have been having this problem. Whatever apps I purchase or update on my iOS devices, they do not sync back to iTunes. There is no error message. They just don't sync back. On a quick search, I have seen that some other people have faced the same issue but I haven't seen any solution so far.
Here is what I am using -
iTunes 11 on Mac OS X 10.8.2, iPhone 4S with iOS 6, iPad 3 with iOS 5.

Here is how to transfer apps from iphone to iTunes.
Step 1:
First, you need to “Sign In” with Apple ID that you’ve used when downloading the applications from your iPhone. For this, go to “Store” menu entry in iTunes, and choose “Sign in” option.
Step 2:
Now, you will need to authorize your computer unless iTunes won’t let you transfer your iPhone applications.
Step 3:
Right click on the name of your iPhone in the left hand explorer bar of iTunes and select “Transfer Purchases” option. If you use multiple accounts to buy apps on your iPhone, then you will have to repeat these first two steps with each iTunes account.
Step 4.
You can use iPhone Transfer to transfer app from iPhone to iTunes.

Why wont my purchased TV Shows not sync?

Hi there,
i have set up my Apple TV to sync all my unseen TV Shows and some music and some photos.
After syncing actually it has synced some old videos which i have manually put into iTunes, but it will not sync my purchased "daily show" episodes, though i have 5 unseen episodes.
There is plenty of space left in the (otherwise too small) 40 GB Apple TV, but i really dont see why it wont sync the daily show.
of course i have checke "synced" etc....

Did this get resolved? I am having the same problem. 4 ATV's hooked to one Mac Pro, will not copy the purchased TV shows to the ATV hard drive. Does the number ATV's on the local network count towards authorized computers for the iTunes account?

Photos album names not syncing with iPhone

I'm having trouble with the new Photos application. I've renamed several of my album names on the app, but in iTunes the changes are not being recognized and thus not syncing to my iPhone either.
Separately, several albums have "x" number of photos in them, but when I sync that album to my phone less than "x" photos actually flow into the album. It's frustrating.
I have rebooted everything (phone, computer, etc.) and I'm running the latest version of all software, so those basic fixes will not work here. Any ideas?!? Thanks in advance for your help...
