    The music in my iTunes library run together andplay at the same time.

    The "bar" at the bottom does not say anything about all of your songs being on the iPod.  It just shows you how much of its storage capacity is being used, based on what is on the iPod.
    If you see "On This iPod," that means the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible.  This is easier to describe with the sidebar visible, so from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  There is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if (?) your iTunes music library fits on the iPod.  With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the iPod, and new songs get synced automatically.  A 7th gen iPod nano is 16GB, so your iTunes music library would have to be less than 16GB (not counting non-music content on the iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod from the lists below.  If you want newly added songs to sync to the iPod, they must be part of your selection.  For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the iPod.
    When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the iPod's Music screen) sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

    How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • How do I refresh the music in my itunes library?

    How do I refresh the music in my itunes library?  After several days of ripping cd's, merging numerous libraries, and deleting a ton of duplicates, I basically need itunes to start fresh.  Suggestions?

    Well you could just delete everything from iTunes, without deleting the files, and then import the media folder. Or you could delete the iTunes Library.itl file and let iTunes scan your media when it starts up. Or you could use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to Check for dead tracks on startup selected.
    In general it is easier to use iTunes to manage the media folder rather than manipulating things by hand and then getting iTunes to play catch up. I have a script called DeDuper for automatic deduping, see this thread for background

  • My iPhone automatically shuffles all the music in my iTunes library.

    Hi, I have a problme with my iPhone (OS 6.0.1) music app.
    It automatically shuffles all the musics in my iTunes library no matter what I do. In addition, when I push the "forward skip" bottun, the music app will jump to other song, not the next song, as it likes.  This means that my music app cannot play all the albums in my ITunes Library in proper order.
    I want to listen to musics in proper order.  Is there any solution to fix this problem?  Other devices are working properly. 

    Yes.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.

    I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

  • Can I create a radio station using the music in my iTunes library?

    I have iTunes 12 installed on my 2014 MacBook Pro and late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook.  My husband and I share the MacBook and he wants to access my iTunes library because his is empty. 
    A friend told me that the easiest way to do this in iTunes 12 is to create a radio station using my music in my iTunes library.  My iTunes music folder is just over 35GB in size (if that's relevant).  Almost all of the music (>95%) is from my CDs that I've copied into iTunes over the years.
    I would be really grateful if someone could tell me how I go about doing this because I'm afraid that I haven't been able to find any instructions on just how I go about this.
    Cheers

    Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
    I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.

  • I need to get the music from my iTunes library to my iPhone 4, but it won't recognize my phone in iTunes...

    When I plug my iPhone 4 into my laptop, a box pops up that says "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I did so, but after downloading this software, I was told that it needed my MacBook Pro to have Version 10.6.8 or higher to run. My MacBook has Version 10.6.4, and I have no idea what updating it would require. I'd prefer to get my music from iTunes library to my phone without updating. If anyone knows how, please help.
    Otherwise, could someone please tell me how to update my MacBook, how much it would cost, etc.?

    You'll have to update your OS on your Macbook.
    Click on the black Apple logo at the top left of your Mac screen.  Then click on Software Update.

  • HT1386 How do I transfer all the music from an iTunes library on a PC to on another iTunes library on a Mac, with being able to keep both libraries of music?

    A year and a half ago I purchased an iPhone 4s and created a substantial library of music in the iTunes account on my PC. Just recently, I purchased a Macbook Pro w/ Retina  and am just getting around to syncing the newer iTunes library on my iPhone. However, when I did, iTunes deleted all the songs that I had previously on my first iTunes library.
    I still have access to all the other songs on the previous iTunes library, but how can I add both libraries to my iPhone without losing any music?
    I've been searching for about three hours on ways to do this and I've come up with nothing.

  • My iphone 4 is not syncing the music from my itunes library.

    I tried to restore the iphone and everything else has been backed up, but the music is not syncing.
    I have the "automatically sync" option checked, and have unchecked the "manually manage music and videos" option unchecked. (due to prior suggestions.)
    Space is not an issue no is the type of files (all MP3.)
    I need help. I restored my phone in hopes of fixing the problem and now I have NO music. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes. Is there something I'm missing?

    Found the answer. Clicked on my iphone icon > Music > check the box that says sync music.
