Recently played list different on iTunes and iPod touch

So I recently got an iPod touch (8GB) and when I sync it to my iTunes (9.0.2.25) every other playlist downloads fine, except for my "Recently Added" and "top 30 most played" playlists. What I mean is the list of songs in those playlists is fine on iTunes, but on the iPod touch it is a different list of songs under those playlist titles.
Anyone help?

Yeah, it's kind of frustrating. What to do when you start from scratch and the problem still persists?
I've never run into that on a Mac for example. If you reformat and rebuild something it usually handles every situation. Here it's isolated to a couple Smart Playlists, not every Smart Playlist. Unless there's something inherently askew with the OS upgrade and a Most Played & Recently Played list.
I'm going to have to try another User forum to see if it's common or known buggy. I'll keep you posted if I learn anything.

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

After changing airport name its different in itunes and Ipod (Airplay related)

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with an up to date 4th gen Ipod and Itunes.
What I did was move a airport base station from my garage into my kitchen. I renamed this airport to Kitchen in my airport utility. Right now it shows up as kitchen in the utility. If I open Itunes this airport is still named garage. If I go to use remote app in my ipod its garage too. I have resarted all devices, but nothing seems to change this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mac, and all who were kind enough to respond, I'm using the latest version of iTunes and iPod software, re the songs just few I recently added to my itunes library from elsewhere on my pc, no reason why the should not have synched to my ipod the same as the 3,500 or so that have done so already. Re capitalism, I'm all for it, makes the world go round, but not when it starts acting like something else. Think about this one, you buy a product, it malfunctions, you go back to the shop, the sales person says sorry, you cant talk to me but I'll give you the names of other customers who bought that product, contact them and see if they can help. That aint capitalsism, that's a joke and an abuse of market power.

Aperture, iTunes and iPod Touch sync

I know I manage my iPod touch photos via iTunes. I know that I can sync Aperture with my iPod by choosing the Photo's tab after selecting my iPod touch device. I see that Aperture is an option, however when I choose it I get two radio buttons to pick from: "All photos and albums" and "Selected Albums". Problem is, the "Selected albums" is gray and I can not click it. I want to put photos on my iPod touch, however since my Aperture library is much larger then my ipod storage the sync ends up failing.
How do I select the currently grayed out option "Selected albums" so that I can have some photos at my disposal?
I am using a brand new iMac i7 with Aperture 3.0.1 and ipod touch software 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.0.3.

same trouble with same software-versions.

Albums listed differently in iTunes and on iPod

I like the way 7.3 has changed the ways albums are organized. The articles "A" and "The" are ignored in iTunes, and such. I want to know why iTunes lists albums this way, but the iPod still refuses to list my albums the way they are listed in iTunes. Any ideas?

You know what, you're right. Albums are not sorted properly on the iPod. I got mixed up with my previous post; my 4G iPod sorts artists, not albums correctly. iTunes has custom sort fields as of Version 7. You can enable them by adjusting the columns displayed (View -> View Options). "The" and now "A" (as of 7.3) are automatically adjusted by iTunes. These should appear sorted on the iPod but they don't on mine and apparently on your 5.5G iPod either.
I use the custom sort fields mainly to sort artists by Last Name, First Name. That's a bummer that the new iPods don't support these fields yet. I guess I will be waiting for the touchscreen, iPhone-like iPod after all.

Smart playlist order different in iTunes and iPod nano

I recently switched to the fifth gen (5G) nano from the first gen (1G) nano, and noticed a strange thing.
I have a smart playlist called "20 most recently played podcasts" where all podcasts with play count >= 1, and the list is limited to 20 most recently played.
I sort it most recently-played last (=from old to recent) so that I could replay them in the same order I previously listened to.
I never had any problem with this setup with my old 1G nano, but the new 5G nano lists most recently played first, reversal of how I set it up in iTunes.
I have another smart playlist called "New podcasts" in which all podcasts with play cound = 0 are collected, sorted by release date, and it works fine (i.e. no play order mangling).
Has anybody seen this kind of problem? How do I correct it?
My setup:
WinXP Pro SP2
iTunes ver 9.0.1.8
iPod nano 5G ver 1.0.1
Thanks in advance,

iTunes' system requirement says SP2 or later, so I think I'm OK. Besides I use this PC for work, too, and my company policy doesn't allow me to upgrade to SP3 (most post-SP2 individual security patches are applied).
Anyway, thanks for the pointer. I think I'll try disabling live update for the playlist.

Purchased Song numbers different on PC iTunes and iPod Touch

Im having problems with the speaker on my ipod touch and apple support has suggested I reformat my ipod.
I purchase music directly from both by ipod and PC iTunes using the same account.
However when I look at my purchased number of songs from my ipod it says 194.
My iTunes in the PC says 150.
If I reformat my iPod I will lose the extra 44 songs. Is there a way to have these appear in my PC iTunes so I can restore them to my iPod after I format it.
Please advise.

e mac unable to find external hard drives
Posted: Jul 14, 2010 7:04 AM Reply Email
I recently tried to move the contents of a full external drive to a new larger external drive. while doing this I lost around 4000 tunes. So I have been trying to locate them, some found in the strangest places on the main hard drive? Then two nights ago I lost the new hard drive in finder, quickly followed by the old external hard drive. I turned everything off, then on repaired permisions etc. Replugged everything back in, but no Hard drives showing either in finder or disc utility?
A good friend and fellow musician, took the drives away to see if they would work with his macs of differing vintages. They dont appear on any of his machines. When I spoke to him today he told me that his own external hard drive had vanished from his mac. Is something going on? An update from Apple we dont know about? Are any of you experiencing a similar problem. Both these external drives were working perfectly one minute then gone the next!
Even though my i tunes library is gone on one of my drives. I plugged my i pod in and created a new library, it was recognised!
Please help!

'Volume Adjustment' effect is different between iTunes and iPod

I spent weeks using the 'Volume Adjustment' option on hundreds of quieter albums in my library to consistently match the louder volume levels of newer albums of my library. I wanted playback to be even across the board of my entire library. Some needed a small percentage of increase, some needed the maximum. To my ears' content, I played each adjusted album back in iTunes through powered monitors and studio headphones to make sure each album was just right.
To my horror, after I sync my new library to my newly wiped and restored 5th gen. iPod Classic, the 'Volume Adjustment' effect is multiplied and the playback on anything that was adjusted is ridiculously louder than even the originally loudest album I have. I am also using the same headphones with my iPod that I used to adjust the albums in iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
So pretty much my question is, "what the ****?!"
In iTunes, the 'Volume Adjustment' is great, and playback is perfectly even across the board while I am actually playing back in iTunes. Either I need to go back and change each and every album I adjusted to a much lower adjustment and have to deal with quiet playback in iTunes once again or I can get ear-blasted by my iPod during track changes yet still enjoy the even sound levels in iTunes. I playback in iTunes as frequently as I use my iPod.
There is no grey area and I am sad about this :'( Why is there no consistency? Has this been discussed before or does anyone have a solution?
Thanks for your time,

i don't own a classic but you might want to see if you find a +sound check+ setting on it. you may want to enable sound check in iTunes and the iPod.
additionally, you might want to check out iVolume.

Win 8.1 - ITunes and Ipod Touch issues

I am running a new Envy TS notebook with Windows 8.1. I upgraded (1/23/14) to iTunes 11.1.4.62. After installation I encountered the procudure entry point error when attempting to start itunes. Per an Apple discussion group, I did the following:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from c:\Program Files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste intoc:\Program Files (x86) \ iTunes
This enabled iTunes to start but would not recognize my ipod. In Windows explorer, my ipod was listed only as Apple Ipod. I followed the recommendations to upgrade drivers to no avail. Finally I went to the control panel to uninstall the following Apple programs:
Apple Mobile Device Suport
Apple Application Support
iTunes
I then reboted the system and reinstalled iTunes and rebotted the system once again after installation.
Windows explorer now recognized my ipod as well as iTunes. In fact, now when I plug my ipod in a USB port, itunes automatically starts up and performs a sync with the ipod touch. Haven't had that happen for quite some time.

Hi JPM and Mlisowski ,
I-pods are the great mashines , but seem that some of the apple software do some mess in the win registries. They are running in the backround slowing a computer , and some times can do that Your other devices as a DVD reader just disapieres.
By my personaly experience , You can thry to use other (more windows friendly) free software to sincronyse Your i-pod,

ITunes and iPod touch 8gb 3rd generation

I had downloaded some songs to my iPod from iTunes and then something happened when I was syncing the iPod and the computer and now some of the songs are gone off of the music list in my music app on my iPod. I tried to redownload them and it said I had already bought those songs and asked if I wanted to continue. I said no because I have paid for them already and hated to pay for them again if I did. Is there a way to get them back? <edited by host>

Sorry, there is no 8gB, 3rd generation. You have a 2nd gen and it can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1

Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail. Now, I'm totally frustrated. So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone. I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch. My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. My system has the following:
     Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
     Model: m9150f
     Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
     Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
     System type: 32-bit Operating System
Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
     1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
     2.     no device displayed in iTunes
     3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
     4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
     5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
     6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
Thank you.
Chris

Problems with iTunes and iPod Touch

I'm unable to properly install itunes. Here is the process I go through in trying to connect my brand new ipod touch:
Open itunes 7.5, and proceed through installation as normal. Problems occur on the following progress bar:
updating component registration
copying new files
status:
(pauses for about 30s)
status: rolling back action:
(status bar backtracks to 0% and then installation continues)
I select to open iTunes after the installation completes.
I then plug in the ipod touch and get the error message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
Also, a window pops up saying there is a camera connected, and asks if I want to use microsoft office word, microsoft scanner and camera wizard, or photoshop to open "Apple iPod"
I've followed all troubleshooting steps provided on the apple website and am still having the issue. Any thoughts or recommendations? I have a very clean system with hardly any running processes. (my task bar has 3 icons total: trillian, volume control, and itunes)
