Sorting the Sync Music tab for Ihone Ipod etc

Does anyone know if there is a way to sort the various boxes on the sync Music tab for the connected device, by what is checked?
For example I might have certain artists or albums checked because I want them on my device, but then when I want to change the music up I would like to deselect all and start again. With some 1300 artists and 2300 albums scrolling through all of them is time consuming so was wondering if they could be sorted by what is checked in the artist/album/genre boxes

I have exactly the same problem. Someone help please!!

  • Selected option within sync music tab not working

    Whilst syncing my iPhone4 and within the sync music tab, I use 'selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'. The problem is that the info where you select within the categories is not up to date with my actually library and checking or unchecking does nothing to what is synced. I have ‘sync only checked songs’ selected in summary and have completed a full reinstall of iTunes.

    Hello AriW1,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, as of iTunes 9 the option has been removed. I would submit feedback to Apple on this. I have already.
    You can probably do it under iTunes or the iPod classic

  • How can i delete the sync musics in my ipod?

    how can i delete the sync musics in my ipod..well in fact i already changed my settings..i already use manual choosing of musics and videos..how can i delete the sync music?? beacause i really dont like the sync musics, pls help me...

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

  • Where do I find the Sync Music when I am ready to add music on to my ipod

    Hello
    I cannot seem to find where to click the Sync Music when I am ready to add my music on to my ipod.
    Thanks

    Hello, welcome to the Discussions.
    Connect one of your iPods to your computer.
    In iTunes, go to "Edit -> preferences -> iPod -> Music".
    Select the "Automatically update selected playlists" option for your iPod.
    Name and create a playlist for this iPod that you would like to sync music to.
    Choose that playlist for that iPod in iTunes Preferences.
    Now, eject this iPod, and connect the other one. Set it for "Automatically update selected playlists", like the instructions above.
    Here's the original article that explains how to manage multiple iPods: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    I hope this solves the question for you!

  • Cannot resize some columns in the music folder for my ipod

    It seems I cannot resize some of the columns I'm displaying in the music folder for my iPod... such as:
    Album, Grouping, Kind
    But I can resize the other columns...
    I've tried moving the column around, doesn't seem to help
    I can resize all columns in my Music folder for the PC.
    Any ideas?!?

    ok...
    If I remove the column from my view... and then re-add the column, it all works fine.
    Is this a bug?

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • I am missing the iTunes Store Tabs for Music, Movies, and TV Shows.  How do I add them?

    I am missing the iTunes Store Tabs for Music, Movies, and TV shows.  How do I add them?
    It is very strange especially not having the Music Tab.  I desperately want to download music...
    Please help, anyone please, thank you.

    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.

  • My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

  • I can't delete songs from my library unless I'm in the bulk "music" tab. This will cost me hours of time to sort through. Help!

    I used to be able to delete songs from my library from any playlist by holding ALT and pressing BACKSPACE. Now, this only works in the bulk "Music" tab which lists every single item in my entire playlist. I have about 300 items in my playlist that need to be deleted (They are remnants of deleted files and no longer point to an existing file location). I have a smart playlist that collects all these items, and in the past I would periodically just delete the contents of that list from the whole library. Now I can't do that. I thought of trying to modify all the items under a common album title so I could find the whole group in the "Music" tab and delete them there, but iTunes won't let me modify them because they don't have a valid file path. (That's exactly the reason I'm trying to delete them! AARGH!)
    The only alternative I can think of is to look up every single item individually and manually delete them one by one, which would amount to a few hours of wasted time. I'm so frustrated. I don't understand why each progressive installment of iTunes does away with features that were helpful and useful when they existed. I feel like Apple hates me.Can anyone help me?

    Use Shift+Delete to remove items from a playlist and the library at the same time.

  • How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?

    How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?  When I plug in y IPOD classic, I get a msg asking me to erase the IPOD.  What I'd like to do is make the laptop my "home base" vs. my desktop.  I have had no success when using icons from ITUNES. 

    You need to move the iTunes library from your home computer to your new laptop first.  From there you'll be able to continue syncing your iPod as before.  This iTunes support article covers the different methods available for moving your iTunes library from one PC to another.

  • I have unchecked the "Sync Music" option in iTunes, and so I assumed that meant there would zero songs synced to my iPhone. Howver, there are still 223 random songs on my phone. How do I actually remove all the songs?

    As you can see, in this photo I have the "Sync Music" button unchecked and yet when I sync my phone (in the hopes that I will be getting rid of all the songs) there are still 223 songs left on my phone, taking up space that I need.
    How do I truly get rid of these songs, or is this just a weird glitch? I would have assumed that by unchecking "Sync Music" that meant there would be no more MUSIC left on my phone, but that is not the case.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello amyb3213,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If I understand your post correctly, you are wondering why you still have songs on your iPhone even though you have disabled music syncing in iTunes.  After disabling syncing, did you press sync to then apply those sync settings?  Are the songs on your iPhone ones that you have downloaded from iTunes in the Cloud?
    You can manually delete songs from your iPhone by following the steps below.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • Imported songs show in "recently added" but not in  the general "music" tab

    I imported two Amy Winehouse albums to iTunes, adding to one of her albums I already had. When I order my list in iTunes by "artist", I only see one Amy Winehouse album, which I added long ago. The only way I can see the new albums I imported is to look under "recently added". If I look in the iTunes folder, under music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music/Amy Winehouse all 3 albums appear.
    How do I get the new albums to appear in the general "music" tab without having to look in "recently added"? Thanks...  chas

    Go to the top of this page, click "Support", then type back up itunes" ore similar in the search bar. I believe that the support site is down for the moment but it will be back.
    or.. You can drag the entire itunes folder to your backup drive/disk.
    or..From itunes File>Library>Backup to disk

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.
