HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync. They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone. What do I need to do?

I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I have several ipod nanos. i can sync one, but since i connected the ipad 2 I am getting an error on two of them, it says cannot sync, error 13019. the loaded songs show on the computer (on the ipods), but not when the ipod is plugged off the usb

You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited. See this article for more details.

Suddenly I can't access itunes on my computer. I can on my IPod but not on the computer. I click on the itunes icon and nothing happens.

Suddenly, I can't access the Itunes on my computer. I can on my IPod, but not from my home computer, where my library is stored. ANy suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lost my music in iTunes. . .but not on the iPod or from the HDD

Recently, I installed a separate physical HDD into my PC which will be dedicated to my iTunes/iPod content. When I did this I navigated within iTunes to Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location" and changed the path to the new volume that I had for the dedicated HDD (F:/iTunes/iTunes Music). After a week or so of this seemingly working properly, I then felt safe to delete the iTunes Music folder that I had on my C:/ drive within My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
Today, when I launched iTunes, all the music that I had ripped from my Cd collection plus the few downloads that I purchased were gone from my music library within the application and I got the following message. . .
The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and synching replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
The good news is that all of my data is still on the iPod and the physical HDD. When I got this message and selected <Transfer Purchases> I got back into the application's Music Library the 5 or so songs that I have bought from iTunes. I still do not have the 700 or so songs that I ripped from my CD's in the application Music Library however and I am still getting this message along with an option to "Erase and Sync", which sounds like something thatI do not want to do. The iPod is now intact and disconnected from my PC.
The iTunes folder on my C: drive still has an <iTunes Music Library.xml> file along with an <iTunes Library.itl> file. Could this be causing the confusion?
Also within Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location", the options for <Keep iTunes Music Folder organized> and <Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding To Library> are both unchecked. Things were working fine I guess with it that way but it sounds to me that I should have those checked?
I need some advice it seems. Does anyone know what the heck is happening here?

Music shows up in iTunes but not on the iPod

I'm not sure what to do next. One of the CDs I had on my iPod just disappeared the other night. I thought it might have been my deck in my car, so I unplugged it and then searched on the iPod itself for the CD, and it didn't show up there either. So I came home and I connected the iPod to my computer and in iTunes, I clicked on the iPod, and it said the CD was there. So I unplugged it and checked on my iPod again, and the CD still wasn't showing up. I reconnected it to the computer and checked it AGAIN in iTunes and it still said that the CD was on my iPod. I reset it with the center button and menu, and then I checked it again and on my iPod it wasn't there, but it still showed up in iTunes as being on my iPod. So I deleted them off of the iPod, reburnt the CD, put the files onto the iPod, and in iTunes it said the songs were on the iPod. So I checked it on the actual iPod, and they weren't there! I updated the software and everything and tried it again, but it still didn't fix the problem. It's just one CD I'm having trouble with, everything else works fine, and back when the CD showed up in my iPod it played fine. Any suggestions?

hmmmmm. we'd better quickly check to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting advice on that one, see:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

My ipod won't sync music because it says ipod does not support the music, although it previously downloaded the same music onto the ipod

Newest ipod gen,
My ipod won't sync about 89% of my library because 'it doesn't support the song' but I previously had the songs on my ipod, downloaded from the same computer. Itunes on my computer had issues and I'm now re syncing all music. How do I get my music back on my ipod if Itunes says it can't be synced?
Thanks!

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

I have synced my new ipod but no music is stored on ipod but is when the ipod is connected to itunes

Hi
I have transferred cds to itunes and followed instructions to sync ipod. It went through a long process syncing music to devise then said it was completed however no music is on the ipod even though when the ipod is connected to itunes when you open up the ipod from the menu options on itunes and click on music all of the music is there. When connected it also says used and free space and the used space correlates to the music downloaded.
If you try to re-sync is tries to synch, disconnects and then an error message appears the ipod "Emma's iPod" cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found.
I have tried re-starting it and restoring. I'm now ready to throw the thing out of the window - can anyone help so that I don't waste £200!! I wonder if it is faulty?
Thanks to anyone who is able to reply

I have a new iPod touch and an iPad all my videos work on the iPod, but not on the iPad. What am I doing wrong when I syn with iTunes ?

iPad 2 does not show videos. I just get a black screen when I hit the video app. The videos show as being loaded when connected to iTunes.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Deleting songs on iPod but not on iTunes

thanks in advance to any reply!!!!
originally, i have an iPod Photo 40gb. a few days ago, i bought an iPod Video 60gb. i use one computer, with one user.
i actually have two problems. i hope nothing gets too confusing!!
PROBLEM #1: in the days of my iPod Photo, i had a somewhat frustrating situation. i accidently (long story) deleted all my music files. this left me with songs on iTunes, and on my iPod but not on the computer. i was worried that my iPod would wipe out when i plugged it in, but i found the solution thanks to helpful apple.com! i didnt have to get my original music files back because the songs stayed on my iPod. though there was always an exclamation mark next to the song on iTunes. this meant i couldnt play the song on iTunes because there was no backup file, but i could listen to it on my iPod.
i plugged my new iPod into the same computer onto the same iTunes program. it's uploaded all the songs except the ones with exclamation marks. is there anyway i can get these songs (a total of 192) onto the iPod Video??
PROBLEM #2: i'd like to delete all the songs on the old iPod. Except i dont know how to do this without deleting all the songs on iTunes. i can't delete the songs on iTunes because i still need them for my new iPod. Is there anyway i can delete the songs on the iPod but keep them on iTunes for the new iPod? One last thing, if i manage to find the solution to emptying the old iPod, is it possible to upload it with new songs?? songs that i dont want on my new iPod. or am i asking for too much?
THANKS!!!

You have a couple of options:
1) Change the update option of your old iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists". Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod, you can amend the option there. In manual mode you can delete the songs off the iPod and keep them in iTunes. You can also drag from iTunes the tracks and playlists that you do want: Managing Your Songs Manually
2) You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your old iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop

Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga

Use a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

HT1351 when my iphone 5 is connected, i can't see the content in itunes library. when i have an older ipod plugged in, there is a button to view what's on the ipod but not iphone. how do i see the music stored on iphone 5 in itunes??

When i connect my iphone 5 to cpu, i cant figure out how to see the music held on phone. When I click the "iphone" icon, it pulls up the options (summary, info, music, apps, etc) but when i click music, it just gives sync options. When i plug in an older ipod, there's an option to see what's on the ipod but not with my iphone 5. how do i see the music stored on my iphone in itunes?

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.
