Songs shuffled between computer and ipod?

Why do the songs get shuffled around when they are transferred fron the pc to the ipod. I have something that is 298 tracks long and it needs to be in order and my ipod shuffles them all around when I move them from the pc. Are any of the other programs out there that are alterenatives to itunes any good and won't cause this to happen? Thanks.

if you wnat to sync your music to your ipod the only option is using itunes. are you trying to keep it in artist order or alphabetical order? Becasue you can create a playlist and have the exact order of the songs that you want to keep together remain that way within the playlist.

  • No connection between computer and Ipod.. Very strange

    Hi,
    (i'm typing this message for a friend of mine)
    A couple of days ago I bought a new Ipod video 30 Gb.
    I installed Itunes on my laptop and sync. it with my Ipod.
    I also uploaded some songs.
    Now I installed Itunes on my computer and tried to sync it with my Ipod. but for some kind of strange reason my Itunes cannot find my Ipod.
    when I looked in Explorer I can see that my Ipod is connected but it will not appaer in Itunes.
    I connected an other Ipod (Ipod Video 60GB) and that one appaers in Itunes.
    We contacted the local Apple store where I bought it, but they told us to format and reinstall the computer.
    is there maby some other way to solve this.

  • Can no longer purchase itunes songs on original computer and ipod but...

    Hello,
    Originally, I had a iPod nano with video..do not have generation at hand..and used it at iTunes with no issues for music and podcasts.
    My purchases and downloads worked fine via my authorized computer.  Mid to late summer, I received an iPod touch as gift and
    want to use the iPod touch for video, apps, podcasts and ibooks while keeping the older iPod nano for music only.
    At present time, the iPod touch seems to work fine at wi fi hotspots for purchases and downloads of video, apps, podcasts, and
    ibooks and magazines.  However, I can't seem to use my authorized computer to purchase songs..but I can listen to previews
    and download free podcasts on it.
    Please advise as to how to fix this situation....
    Thanking in advance,

    I am having trouble downloading itunes to my ipod.  The ipod makes a connection but does not show anything.

    Apple specifically did not enable ipod to computer transfer so as to prevent people from getting music from friends (which in the majority of cases is illegal).

  • HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

    I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".  Could you please help?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Nope.  Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
    Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes.  In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased  and download the purchased songs for free.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

    Please do not post the entire messages log as it takes up unnecessarily a lot of space.  It seems that there is a corrupt/nonfunctional file called

    Go to your hard drive, enter library, go into users, and go into launch agents and delete the thing above.  Empty the trash and restart.

  • I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there.

    I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there. How can i fix it? I have backed up and restored my ipod touch 4th gen several times.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • If my computer and ipod were stolen how do I get back the music I have already purchased?

    I purchased a new computer and ipod but can't retrieve any of my old music. If I try to go to the itunes store and click on the items I have already purchased it says "are you sure you want to purchase this again."

    You only get one download.
    Unless you are int the U.S, then you can use icloud beta.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.
