Sudden Volume Increase. Only On SOME Songs?

Well, I usually just tick the "Shuffle Songs" and go about my work...but I come across a song once in a while i will come across a song that will blow my ear drums out, even if the volume is way below half, lol.
I figured this has to be something to do with the bitrate, correct?
It only happens on SOME of my songs. Never happened with a vid.
Anyone ever had this issue???

I have experienced the same.
However when I tried SoundCheck all my songs became too quiet, even when the volume was turned up high.
A couple of things that I don't understand (OK a load of things, 'coz I'm stupid
How does SoundCheck determine its baseline volume?
Why do some tracks sound so much louder? e.g. I have some tracks that due to the EU limit will not go louder than a set point, however other songs DO go much louder?!
Do I have to further adjust the quiet ones in iTunes by turning up the Volume Adjustment setting?
In my experience that means that the iPod just caps the volume earlier in the dial when I turn the volume up!

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

Ipod Mini will only play some songs

My ipod mini has 43 songs. It will only play some of my songs. The other songs won't even play a single second. I've had some success with restoring via the ipod updater but it keeps coming back. Help?

I've already written to Apple, several times. They sent an auto-reply expressing sympathy that I couldn't find where I had downloaded my iTunes, and directing me to the correct folder...not exactly a helpful answer.
I'm using whatever software came with the blue mini last August when I bought it. I can't be positive, but it seems that the only iPod software updates since then have been related to the shuffle, the nano, ot the new iPod (video), or a system bugs (Tiger) which I don't have yet.
What would have made iTunes stop recognizing the system and the iTunes version associated with the music I bought? What prevents iTunes, at some future point, from suddenly not recognizing my right to play music I paid for and/or insisting that I upgrade something which had been working just fine--until I went online?
Don't get me wrong--I've had Apples for almost 20 years. I have been a fervent supporter of Apples, have referred many people to Macs over the years, and have no intention of using Windows....Maybe that kind of loyalty is what gives the impression that I'll put up with whatever happens, unfair or not. A more accurate interpretation, however, would be that I'll just keep one Mac offline all the time so I can choose what software to upgrade, and when.
But this is an iPod forum...and I digress...
Thank you for your attempt to get to the bottom of this.

HT1386 new ipad only syncs some songs

Some songs sync some dont. They all appear on iPad but only some songs will play. Help!!

When you synced the iPad did you make sure that the songs were selected ro sync.
With the iPad connected to your computer and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Click on the Music Tab in iTunes on the right. Look to make sure that all of your albums, playlists, artist have been selected to sync. If not, select them and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Music heading is checked as well.

my pc computer crashed so I bought a new one and autorized it. Downloaded itunes, synced my ipad and it only copied some of my sngs and no apps. How can I download my ipad to my new computer

You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661&#11646661 .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability.

Music App on iPad Only Showing SOME Songs...

...yet ALL songs appear to be ON THE IPAD when viewed in iTunes on my MacBook with the iPad connected to my MacBook
So here's my issue and Googling for days has only produced a bunch of theories and random guesses at a solution but no real solution. Here we go: With my iPad 2 (ver. 5.1.1) connected to my MacBook, I drag a handful of MP3s (audiobook tracks) onto my iPad. Using iTunes on my MacBook, I create some Playlists on the iPAd for these new tracks.
Then, I press the Sync button in iTunes to ensure that what I have just done on the iPad in iTunes on my MacBook actually syncronizes with the iPad. Everything looks good. With the iPad still connected, in iTunes I can see the handful of new tracks I just dragged over onto the iPad and they actually appear in the correct Smart Playlist I made.
However...
When I disconnect the iPad from the MacBook, then open up the Music app on the iPad, I cannot see my new MP3 tracks anywhre on the iPad and the new Playlist is empty.
Now, keep in mind that SOME tracks transfer and are visible in Music. However, it is not 100% consistent and it fails more often than it is successful.
I have tried deleting the tracks and the Playlists from the iPad entirely then dragging them back onto the iPad (via iTunes) and while the tracks actually show that they are in fact on my iPad (via MacBook iTunes) while the iPad is connected to my MacBook, when I disconnect the iPad from MacBook/iTunes, I am unable to find the tracks on my iPad via the Music app. They don't show up in Music, Audiobooks. They don't even show up by author or genre. It's as if they aren't even on my iPad. Yet, when I reconnect the iPad back to the MacBook and view the contents via the iTunes on my MacBook, viola! There they are on my iPad.
I have successfully used this method to add MP3s to my iPad and occasionally, the tracks actually do show up in my Music app on the iPad. However, success is intermitent and uncertain...and rare.
I am NOT using iTunes Match so that option is turned OFF in my iPad Settings. I have tried turning it on to see if it would make a difference and I onl get a dialog box that tells me that I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match.
I have updated my iPad IOS to the latest. Have powered off completely then powered back on.
Still....nothing works.
Thanks so much for your input. I'm perplexed beyond belief by this random and frustrating issue.
C'mon gurus and expert users. What do you recommend?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

ITunes does only play some songs...?!

Hey,
I have the following problem:
My iTunes 8 just changed "over night". Yesterday I could play and listen to every Song in my library. But these days I can only play a few songs out of my library!
The most songs are just not playing. To be sure I tried the VLC player to play the songs, iTunes coulndt play. And VLC coulnd play them too.
So why can I only play just these few songs?
And interesting fact I discovered: The songs iTunes cant play have no information about wether its "stereo" or not also if it has an "ID3 Tag" or wether its Layer 3 or some other.
I thank you very much for help!
greeting,
Richard

delete the song from the library and redownload the song again
if you are unsure how to redownload the song, follow these steps
download previosly purchase content
hope this helps:)

Ipod classic only shuffling some songs in playlist

i have 655 songs in a playlist but ipod only shuffles 165 of the songs. i've set ipod to shuffle under settings and then once the playlist is highlighted i hit play. only 165 songs are listed and only 165 will shuffle. if i turn off the shuffle feature ipod will play all 655 songs by album, but i'd like the ipod to skip around and not play the albums sequentially. any ideas?

Check the songs in your library. Under *File/Get Info/Options* is a tick-box called *Skip when shuffling.* Is there a tick in the box? If so, turn it off.
Check this for one song. If that is the problem, you can then highlight all the songs in the playlist and go to the *File/Get Info/Options* (iTunes will ask if you wish to edit multiple entries - yes, you do!). When editing multiple items, for some reason the *Skip when shuffling* tick-box will also have a drop-down menu box. Even if it says No, (which it did when I tested this) select Yes, _then change it back_ to No and click OK.
Sync your iPod and try the playlist again. When you play the first song in the playlist (on shuffle) does the display now say 1 of 655? It should.

How do I only put some songs from itunes onto my iphone?

I put all my music into my itunes (1700 songs) but only want to put 900 songs on my iphone. I have selected 'manually manage music' and 'sync only checked songs'. 'sync entire music library' is not selected, but itunes still put my whole library on my phone..?

I've had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4 ever since updating to iOS 7.1! Went through all the steps you did plus I also erased all the music off my phone and started over (per another suggestion in another forum.) Same result - all music loads. Grrrr. I really don't want to listen to Christmas music in April!

Home Sharing only transfers some songs, asks to reauhorize for others....

I have the latest iTunes installed on both computers. When trying to use the Home Share, it transferred only 250 of the 350 songs from the main computer's library. I can see all 350 songs in the Home Share section. If I try to play or import one of the 100 songs that didn't transfer it tells me to authorize the computer. The computer is already authorized.
When I enter in my username and password it tells me the computer is already authorized and still won't bring any of those songs over. I'm stumped on how to get the last 100 songs shared on my other computer.
Any help appreciated

Go to one of the songs that isn't transferring (from the machine on which it resides), right-click, pull up "Get info" screen, check info on "summary" section. Does it list a "purchased by" and an "account name"? Is this the same Apple ID for which the two machines have been registered?

HT1349 When I download music (from both Itunes and my own c.d.'s) and then play them back, the volume is different on some songs. Is there some way to regulate the volume so that it is the same for all?

Can anyone help me with the above question? I like to make up cd's of all time favorite songs, but the volume changes too much. Is there anything I can do in order to get even sound? Thanks.

That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

HT1451 Hi All, I have 2 users on my desktop, 1 i-tunes account and log-in but both users have different music contents i.e. one has the full iTunes library and the other only has some songs. How do i get both users to have the same music content?

I Have 2 users on my computer and both access i-tunes using same password etc. however 1 library has the full content of music but the other one has only partial playlists. How do I get both users to have the same full library?

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

Ipod only updated SOME songs...

I listened to about 70 songs, and my Ipod updated something like half of them in Itunes. Why would this be?

Do you have any songs in your library unchecked? The iPod has an option which you'll find in the Summary tab that when set means that it doesn't update unchecked songs: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs

Apple TV only imports some songs

I believe the songs Apple Tv imports are the songs I bought from itunes. The ones I importeed from my cds are not importing. The songs that I bought from itunes have a cloud symbol next to them. The songs that do not have the cloud next to them are not importing to Apple Tv. What do I need to do to get my other songs on Apple Tv?

Yes this is all referring to the Apple TV. That option would be within the settings app (so that is still the wrong place),you need to go to the main menu. Then you need to go to the icon that says computers, it is right next to the music app.
Note: Your computer must be on and running iTunes for your library to show up.
