Songs are in playlist but won't sync because cannot be found

I had an Ipod 4 for 3 years and didn't had any problems.  But since I've got my Ipod 5, I have problems with syncing my music.  The music folder hasn't change and my libraries either.  When I sinc, Itunes telles me that about half of my songs "could not be found" even though it's not true because the music is right there in the forlder and library.  Anyone can tell me how to fix this?

Cettina70,
If you want to manually add tracks to your iPod, you'll need to set your iPod up to manually manage music and videos by enabling this option from under your iPod's Summary tab.
Otherwise, you'll need to double check your configurations on how your iPod is set up to sync Music from your iTunes library.

  • My alert tones I purchased are on itunes but won't sync back to my iphone.

    I tried to uncheck the alerts and then sync... then re-checked them and sync'd again but that only fixed my ringtone problem. Still cant see my alert tones... it's so frustrating to pay .99 for something and have it disappear... They are on my itunes under ringtones... and also in alerts some of my ringtones werent showing up. This happened once before and I re-purchased the alerts but to have them on itunes tells me... there is a way to get them back to my iphone. Can someone help me... I am usually pretty tech savvy but this is perplexing me.

    Hope you don't mind me crashing your thread but I've ripped a movie and my DVD settings are the same as yours, I followed instructions on the Handbrake website and my picture settings were 320 x 100 and something (it was widescreen) and it still doesn't work. Says it cannot play on my iPod. It's a MP4 format and the H.264 setting as you have too. Don't know what I did wrong. It plays in iTunes and on Quicktime.
    I'm trying to 'convert' it right now in iTunes but not holding my breath

  • Itunes Match Songs are all there but won't play

    I've been using iTunes Match at work pretty regulary and I've notived that, seemingly randomly, I'll open iTunes and all my music will be there... however doub;e-clicking a song or or hitting PLAY does nothing.  No error message; no nothing.  Th ePLAY button is isn't ghosted or anything.
    I've tried goifn Store . Update iTunes Match.  That doesn't work.  The only thing that seems to work is turning match completely off and then back on again.
    Any idea why this would be happening?

    Well the odd thing is that everything works perfectly fine most of the time.  However, 10% of te time, Match enterest his stange state where songs won't play.  Nothing changes in the iCloud Status field.  You can even edit metadata like rating and song-names.  Songs just won't play... nor will they download.
    Based on the above, I don't think it's a corportate firewall issue  (neither does my IT guy).

  • Songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for

    when i plug my iPod in a message pops up and says "songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    i've read what other people have put on this topic and when i click on the music tab under my iPod nothing happens. please help!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

  • Music from Amazon- is in ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod

    I purchased music from Amazon. It downloaded to ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod (Nano 4th gen.) Plays with no problem on my Mac Pro but can't get it downloaded to my IPod. How can I resolve?

    If you right click on the song it will give you an option such as Create AAC version or Create mp3 version.
    To control what option appears  Preferences, general.
    At the bottom right is a button called import settings. This will start another dailog box where you can choose which encoder to use
    Select Mp3 version.
    Go back to your song and create an mp3 version and see if that synces

  • I have deleted certain purchased songs from my iphone, but everytime i sync my phone with my computer it adds them back.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    It sounds like you and your husband are sharing an Apple ID, a version of iTunes on your computer, or both.
    I recommend you share neither your Apple ID nor your version of iTunes.  You can still share music by using Store > Authorize this computer and enter your spouse's information.  But it sounds llike this sharing is the cause of your problem.

  • TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

    My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed.  In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working.  I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

    See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
    This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
    Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting  syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

    When I receive an email request for a meeting, when I open it I get an error message asking if I want to revert to server, try again or ignore. If I choice revert to server it deletes the event, if I choice ignore it accepts it but won't sync with my other devices.

    Interesting suggestion, but it's not clear to me how I would do that if I'm not using an "(at) icloud.com" email address/account. I am having the same problem with changed invitations that come from an organizer who is using Google Apps. My email account is hosted at my ISP - it's not obvious to me how I can use iCloud to access that email account (and therefore the changed invitation). Suggestions?
