Song appear in iTunes, BUT not on my ipod Touch. Why does this keep happening?

This is about the 4th time that i've had this issue. My songs/playlists appear in iTunes when I connect my iPod Touch, BUT the songs don't show on my iPod.
Any suggestion on how to fix this or why it keeps happening?

There's a special iTunes forum where you'd get a lot of readers who specialize in iTunes issues.

  • My songs appear in itunes but not on my ipod

    About 10 of my songs that have been on my ipod for quite sometime stopped showing up on my ipod. the songs are on itunes and play through itunes but no matter how many times I update my ipod the songs won't show up on my ipod. But if i put the songs in a playlist they then appear on my ipod only in the playlist not in the regular music/artist files. I have even tried to delete the songs and put them back n and it still doesn't work. If someone could help that would be great I am getting very frustrated!

    Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

  • The message that comes up says that the server can not be found ...why does this keep happening?

    I continually get the message that the
    'server can not be found at this address. Check to make sure that the address is typed properly etc. etc.'
    When I try to use Internet Explorer with the same info there is no such message. Why

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Some songs, which are bought in the iTunes store, will be played iTunes but not on my iPod touch. Has somebody an explanation for that? Thanks,

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
    Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

  • Song shows up in playlist on iTunes, but not on the iPod Touch

    So I bought a song from iTunes on my iPod Touch, and so it shows up on the "Purchased" playlist, and I can listen to it. So, I sync up to my PC (or my wife's MacBook Pro, doesn't matter) and using iTunes, I add the song to a playlist of my current favorites. I then sync the iPod. In iTunes, it shows the song as part of the playlist, and shows that there are 24 songs in it. But when I unhook the iPod and look at that exact same playlist, the new song does not show up, and it says that there are 23 songs in the playlist.
    I have already tried deleting the playlist, creating a whole new one, and I can put any song I want in there, except for this one. ??? Anyone heard of this before?

    If the song is in iTunes, and it is in a playlist that you auto-sync your Touch to, then the only things that might cause this problem are:
    1- Is this new song un-checked in iTunes? If your Touch is set to sync only checked items that would prevent it from syncing. If that's the case, just enable the checkmark next to the new song and re-sync.
    2- Is this playlist a smart playlist that is forced to be limited in size? If so, there is a bug with the 3.1.x OS such that smart playlists that are limited in size will have different contents (and sorted differently) when you compare the playlist on iTunes vs. on the Touch. The solution in this case is to disable Live Updating in the smart playlist definition, then the two versions of the playlist will agree.
    3- Is the new song tagged as "Skip when Shuffling"? If so, and if your Touch is in shuffle mode, then the song count in the playlist will not include songs that are designated to be skipped.
    See if any of those three things are what is going on. If not, then perhaps you need to reset or restore your Touch, but I doubt that.

  • Whenever I click on a song in my itunes library an exclamation point appears and I am no longer able to play this song or video why does this keep happening and what can I do to fix it?

    Whenever I click on a song or video in my library and I try to play it, and exclamation point immediately pops up and it tells me that my song or video's origional file cannot be located. It has happened to over 100 of my songs and I would like to know what is happening and what I can do to fix it. Let me know. Thanks!

    The usual explanation for this is that:
    1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
    2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
    If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.

  • Ipod touch 4g detected in itunes but not showing the ipod touch control panel

    i just setup my ipod touch 4g on ios 5.0.1. It's detected in itunes on the devices side bar but when i click it just a white screen stating "ipod" comes on the itunes window. help ! i cannot sync anything onto it

    Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
    If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
    If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

  • Every time I open my iTunes - my library is gone. Why does this keep happening?

    Hey guys,
    The folder with all my music in it is located on my desktop. I've had it like this for years now with never a problem.
    Up until the most recent update, my library is gone everytime I open my iTunes.
    Thankfully I saved my playlists to text documents, but it is becoming an enormous bother now to keep re-adding them.
    I've searched the forums to no avail - anyone have any advice for me?
    Much Appreciated,
    Andrew

    Just want to share my fix for this...... Don't know that computer you are dealing with but if sony, here it is
    WOW! Thanks to all who directed me to Sony for this issue. I have downloaded the update http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2715 (which by the way would not run for the first few times stating it was an update for Vista even though I chose the Windows 7 OS and the page showed was for 7.) I have rebooted about 4 times so far and everything is still in iTunes. Oh thank you all.... BTW I had my computer in with the Sony Backstage guys for a tune up a few months ago and I explained this issue to them. They had no idea and recommended I go over to the Apple store in the Mall. I would think they should be versed on various software related issues which can create trouble for users of their products just as they are versed in the nuts and bolts of how to save this, and move that, and make backup disks, and read my email. : ) Keeping my fingers crossed.
    All this technology conflict.... Can't we all just get along???

  • I plugged in my itouch and itunes says there's an error and tells me to restore to factory mode.WHY does this keep happening to me?

    Okay so before my itouch was jailbroken then all of a sudden it deleted all my songs and when I plugged it back into the computer itunes didn't recognize it so I had to restore it to factory settings deleting my 20+ apps . After I did that I jailbroke it again since the hardware was basically brand new, then while it was syncing i transfered a song and it interfered with the sync and deleted everything so I upgraded it once again. Now I have't jailbroken it and it the same thing has happened TWICE. Everything is fine and I plug it in and my computer recognizes it cause its charging but Itunes says there's and error and it simply doesn't recognize it and makes me restore it to factory settings DELETING everything. Now I'm scared to buy apps because if this happens again it deleted everything thousands of songs I have to put back manually etc. What is wrong with my itouch? Is it the itouch or the itunes because my itouch is no longer jailbroken and working fine. I took it to the apple store and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because it was working fine on their computer. -_- HELP?!!! I'M tired of this happening.

  • TS3988 I've made sure that all my devises have the same username & password & the ICloud was working then all of a sudden, it doesn't.  Why does this keep happening.  I had my IT guy here to make sure it all worked & it did, but 1 week later it stopped?

    Was my question submitted?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I've seen it mentioned that the password should contain at least 8 alpha and numerical characters and that at least one should be a capital letter. Have you tried that.

  • TS4148 My iphone 4 has been updated to the newest version, but i constantly tells me that there is no SIM card installed. why does this keep happening?

    I have restarted my phone numereous times (because there's nothing else you can do to an iPhone) and every time it turns back on it'll have bars for a little while and then say " No SIM installed"  or it'll go straight to "No SIM".  Why is this happeneing and how can i fix it?

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your local Carrier may have rendered the software unable to be updated or
    officially unlocked.

  • ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

    I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

    If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.
