Stupid sync flaw on iTunes/iPhone (maybe iPod Touch too)
I rip my DVD collection a lot and add the files to iTunes. When a movie has a long name you can't see it full in your iPhone, that's why i usually name each episode of series as Episode 01, Episode 02 (instead of FULL NAME OF THE MOVIE - EPISODE NUMBER)... and so on. Just to make it easier to select them for playing on iPhone.
The problem is that i have several movie series in my iTunes, and all episodes of these series appear sorted *by name* in my iPhone sync window, i.e. i see only a bunch of Episode names sorted by index number, and nothing else to identify which series they belong to, so i can't see which ones i need to check to sync with my iPhone.
It's more of a suggestion for Apple:
*Add ARTIST column to the iPhone sync Movies window in iTunes.*
Exactly - ARTIST, and not Album/Series name (which is more appropriate for Movies) - this is the second field you can see in iPhone, under the Name - put a Series name and its index number into this field.
I can provide screenshots of both iPhone and iTunes for this problem.
Yes, i did. Thanks again. Now i can see Series name in the iTunes sync window.
But still it would be nice to be able to check specific episodes i want to sync (clickable boxes next to each episode), not just Apple's 1-3-5-10 most recent/least recent/watched/unwatched options... Don't you think?
In fact, i don't understand why Apple didn't make a separate iPod/iPhone column in Library where you could check/uncheck files you want/don't want to sync. why does it have to be in iPod/iPhone window. I mean i understand why calendars, contacts, e-mails have to be where they are in iTunes, but since you already have Music, Movies, Podcasts and so on in your Library, what's the point of this visual separation...
sorry if it's not clear enough what i mean. i'm russian.

Can't sync items in iTunes library with iPod Touch
I've purchased items from the iTunes store, but have been able to transfer them to my iPod Touch. Whenever I try I get a message that says that 2 of my items could not sync. How do I get these items onto my iPod Touch?
That's because those items were purchased with other accounts.

i have a ipod nano 5th generation. use to work fine now will not sync. have done the 5rs several times all that got me was no songs on my ipod at all. have latest version of itunes. when run diognostics test on itunes pass all but says no ipod touch found. whay is it saying no touch when its a nano? I will never purchase another ipod only worked until the warnety ended.
Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day! -
my ipod icon appears then disappears in itunes - I can no longer sync....

How do you sync apps from iTunes (PC) to iPod Touch?
I know I go to Devices> -device name + firmware- > Apps > now, I check the box that says sync apps, and add my downloaded apps from iTunes PC and when I click APPLY, I box comes up and says "Are you sure you want to remove ## apps, including (app name) from the (device+ Device name)? This will delete the app and data from the device?
WHAT DO I DOOO- DId you previous sync the iPod to another computer/iTunes library?
- In the App pane are the apps already on the iPod checked to synced to the iPod? If not checked they willbe removed. -
I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod touch. After the sync is done the games I checked to sync are no longer checked and nothing was actually synced. Any ideas?
Are the apps/games compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Do you have restrictions set that prevent installing the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you successfully synced apps from that iTunes library to your computer before? -
I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?
You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.
Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Nothing is copied
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Yes
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes - just once when I first got it
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Yes computer os has been updated, I think
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
Hope this helps - it's a real pain. -

my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
any thoughts anyone??Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
ThanksHi, jodie_0182.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If the above step does not resolve the issue, try all remaining steps in the article.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there. At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes. -
