Songs are showing up in my iTunes library, and are on my computer, but don't show up on my iPod nano?

They're in a folder on my computer, show up in playlists and in the library itself. But when I sync, no dice? Help?

Are you positive these tracks/playlists are configured to sync to your iPod Nano? To check, head to your iPod's Music configuration pane in iTunes. To access this pane/tab plug your iPod and select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. Over to the right you should now be under the Summary tab. Locate the Music tab along the top and select.
Here you can configure how and what is synced to your Nano. At the very top, confirm that Sync Music is ticked. Then either select Sync Entire Library or choose to sync selected playlists, artists, genres.
If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.

I can burn CD from itunes library and play CD on computer but when i try

to play CD in my car or truck, it will not play.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you actually selected them to be synced to your device from the iTunes sync settings.

When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

Transferring ITunes library and playlists to new computer?

Hi, have purchased a new computer (Vista) and transferred my wife's ITunes library from the old one (XP) but lost the playlists in the process. I still have the old computer.
Is there a way to redo this so that I can transfer the playlists to the new computer as well? Really hoping there is a way to save her playlists.
Thanks for your help!

See if my reply in this thread makes anything clearer. Ideally you just copy the whole iTunes folder from one machine to the other. If you put the main iTunes library folder into the default location on the new machine, i.e. inside the user's Music folder then fire up iTunes it should work fine.
It only gets complicated if the library files and media folders were/are not in the standard layout. If you had previously copied just the media folder without the library files then these will need to be copied over and put in the correct relationship with the media folder. If the old library/media folders were in a split layout then normalise things on the old machine as described in my post before oopying across.

Transfer iTunes Library and Music to new computer

I know this has probably been asked many times before but can anyone help me transfer my iTunes Library and Music files to my new computer. I just bought a new iMac and need to move things. I had previously moved my Music files to my external hard drive as my old computer hard drive was getting full. So I have my Library on my old computer and my Music files on my external hard drive. I want to transfer both onto my new computer (both on internal hard drive).
How do I do this?

Yes, read the other discussion and what I am saying to do is copy the iTunes folder from the internal drive onto the external drive with the music already stored there.
You should now be able to open the library directly from that location using the linked start up directions from the other thread. If that works, you can then move the drive to another computer and open the library there using the same start up instructions.

I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

I updated my iPad and all the apps I had bought on my iPad did not sync to my computer iTunes library and are no longer on my iPad. How do I get those apps back without buying them again because they were expensive?

Where did all my apps go?

Yeap, it's another of those "undocumented features" from the Apple cult. The same thing happened to me even though I backed up to iTunes before upgrading. I lost everything... apps, music, podcasts and ebooks.
You'll have to reinstall all your missing apps from the app store. But, don't worry. It's free. It remembers that you bought them. You can even look up past purchases to verify what you bought. (I don't know how far you can go back since I only bought my iPad last month.) The pain is that you have to load them individually.
I also had to separately reload all my music, podcasts and ebooks, which I acquired prior to buying my iPad.
It goes to show that the one area in which Apple really beats out Microsoft, is their hype.
Even so, the iPad is great.

Restore iTunes library and playlists to new computer

Hi. I'm buying a new computer and am looking for an easy way to transfer all my music and playlists over from the old computer to the new one. I have the entire iTunes folder backed up onto a different network computer from my current (old) computer. Now the way I understand it, is if I copy the entire iTunes folder from my network computer onto the new computer, it will restore all my library and playlists. Is this right? The only problem is, I will be using different versions of iTunes. This is because I am moving from Windows 2000 to Vista and I can't download the latest version of iTunes to Windows 2000 because it isn't being supported any more.
Will I be able to restore my library and playlists from one version of iTunes to another? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes provided all your music files were in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder, you should be able to copy the iTunes folder to your new PC and have all your playlists etc.
Install iTunes on the new PC first. Then, with iTunes closed and before you add any music, drag the iTunes folder out of the Music folder on the new PC to the desktop.
Then copy the iTunes folder from the backup onto the new PC to replace the one your dragged out.
You need to check the file permissions of the iTunes folder to ensure your account has full control, Vista is fussy about this, and the folder was created under another account.
Once you have done this, start iTunes and it should convert the library to the newer version etc. With any luck you will have your everything back as it was.

Moving iTunes Library and playlists to new computer

This is my situation:
I want to reinstall Windows 7 on my current PC.
I have all of my music stored on my external hard drive and I have been
using this (E:) drive for over 2 years. In iTunes I made sure that my "iTunes Media folder location" was located as E:\...\My Music.
I have a lot of music and also a lot of playlists that I don't want to lose.
Thing is: my "iTunes" folder with content like 'iTunes library.itl' and 'iTunes music library.xml' is somehow located on my C: drive.
This file IS being updated when I change things in my iTunes so it seems to be the right one (plus there is no such map found in E:\...\My Music).
My question:
Is this 'iTunes' folder on my C: drive the right folder to move to my 'fresh PC'? (I am worried because I thought the folder would be on my E: drive)
And if so: how do I make sure that my fresh PC recognizes these same locations and make it work the way it is working now?
(placing the iTunes folder on my E: drive, after installing putting it back on the same location as where it is place now, open iTunes, change 'iTunes Media folder location' to E:\...\My Music again and then...????)
Please help me fixing this without any errors/complications
Best regards

My entire itunes library is store in my computer, but for some reason it has well has the cloud symbol to be download again, why ?

I have all the songs store in my computer and as you can see, for some reason the iCloud symbol is in there for me to download them again. How can I syncronize my icloud with my computer so it stops tell me to download the songs that I already have!!

Glitch. Sign out of the store. Sign in again.

Song Count Different in iTunes Library and iPod

I am perplexed now. iTunes says I have 6643 songs in the library, and it says it is fully synched with my iPod. Yet the iPod thinks it has only 6603 songs on it. I have gone carefully through the library, and every song thinks it is downloaded. When I mount the iPod, and highlight it in the Source column, the library also reports that the iPod has only 6603 songs on it, so it agrees with the iPod. So what are the 40 songs that the library has that won't download onto the iPod?

Solution found. I find this amazing, but the iTunes library and the iPod treat duplicates in different ways. In iTunes, if one accidentally ends up with a duplicate song (for example by ripping the same CD twice, not realizing it was ripped before) the iTunes library shows the song twice (and the underlying mp3 files exists twice in the store). And the number of songs showing in the library includes both copies of the song, the original and the duplicate. If you then synch up the iPod, however, iTunes only loads one copy of the song to the iPod. So in my case it transpired that there were 40 duplicates on my computer, none of which downloaded to the iPod, and that is why the song count was higher in the iTunes library, and why the volume of music in the library showed as 240 MB more than what was in the iPod. Very strange design that iTunes knows enough not to download duplicates, but still shows them in the library. Solution is to go to Edit / Show Duplicates in the iTunes library, but be careful as there will be many false positives.

I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When I try to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library. How do I get back to my original library.

If you do a restore you will lose everything. Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

Songs are showing up in my iTunes library, and are on my computer, but don't show up on my iPod nano?
