Transfering Songs/Plays/Last Played Stats, etc. From iPod to iPod

What's up this has been confusing me. I just got an 80 GB (classic) iPod today, and I wanna put all tha songs, plays, last played stats, etc. from my 30 GB (color/photo) iPod all onto my 80 GB iPod. I plugged both iPods into my desktop computer, and they both opened up in iTunes. I tried dragging tha songs from my 30 gig to my 80 gig, and it's not allowing me. I made it so my 80 GB iPod will manually be updated by me. I was able to transfer a song from my regular iTunes library onto my 80 gig easily. I just want to really be able to transfer every song & song stat from my 30 gig to my 80 gig. I don't wanna re-add all 3,185 songs onto my iTunes library 'cause it'll screw up spins, last played & date added stats. Please someone answer me and tell me if it's possible to do an iPod to iPod transfer!

Aight I just went to Best Buy today and they said you can't do an iPod 2 iPod transfer (unless it's a Zune 2 Zune transfer). I brought up what I found yesterday (about tha iPod 2 iPod thing I found online), and they said that's like tha only way, so whatever. I had my mom pay $40 for tha thing from http://theboysdownunder.com/

My recently transferred songs are not playing in my Iphone.

My recently transferred songs are not playing in my Iphone. Even though the files appear to be there, I simply cannot access them. A small circle with a dot appear on the side of each file. What is happening?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Song track "last played" not updating

I just used my new 3G phone as an iPod today in an effort to become my primary Pod. Unfortunately it appears that the "last played" field is not registering at all. And star ratings appear to not be taking as well. Anyone else noticing this as a glitch, or is anyone else able to confirm they are not having a problem. Any feedback would be welcome. I like to keep track of my listening records for smart playlist use. Thanks.

I have done some testing and have found the logic that appears to be used for updating playcounts. All my playcounts now update with the 3G iPhone running 2.0 software (5A347). I did have an issue and in iTunes I did a full restore of my iPhone and that loaded a newer version of the firmware to my iPhone. Not sure if that matters for this.
First the logic of playcount syncing as I have come to understand it. If you have a smart playlist that will cause a track to fall out once it is played and the track was only copied to the iPhone because it is part of that smart playlist, it will not sync the playcount correctly.
Now for the simple fix to this issue. Create or alter the Recently Played playlist so it holds tracks that were played within the last X days. You want to set X to the longest time you plan to go without syncing your iPhone with iTunes but not too much longer, as it will decrease the available space for you to store auido you want on your iPhone. I set mine to 5 days. What this does is make the track relevant to the iPhone once it falls out of the initial smart playlist. If the track is 'relevant' then the playcount is synced correctly. Additionally, to minimize what is picked up in the iPhone Recently Played playlist you may want to set it to audio only if you do not want to track playcounts for video files or podcast only if you only care about updating playcounts on podcasts.
Hope this helps clear things up.

How do I get version 11 to update "Plays" & "Last Play?"

Upgraded iTunes to 11.0 and the system no longer automatically updates the "Last Play" date or "Plays" number. Any solutions?

I had the same problem. From the following thread, if you turn off the crossfade, that solves the issue. Seems to be working for me, although it's silly you have to turn off a feature to get that to work.

How do I transfer my music, photos etc from my old iPod touch to my new iPod touch?

How do I transfer all data, including music, photos etc from my 4th generation iPod touch to my new 5th generation iPod touch?

I use an app called Retro.
It allows me to transfer between iDevices and also my computer,
all wirelessly of course. Check it out, you might like it.

Hi we have 2 ipod touchesone purchased oct 2010 and the 2nd July 2011 . We only have one library one itunes - all the songs etc from the earlier ipod have disappeared and only the lastes one appears . How do get the 2 libaries

hi how do I have 2 different libaries in ITunes for 2 ipod touches when we open i tunes it will show either Jessica - Ipod or Paul i-pod depending on which one is plugged in but the libary only shows songs from Paul which is the most recent bought on the 28.7.11 . Even when Jessica is plugged in the deivce says Jessica but only Paul's libary shows up !

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

Transferring songs that i added to itunes from my CD collection

A similar question was asked yesterday, but the answers posted didn't answer my question...
I am sharing my music library with my mom by puttings songs on her ipod from my music library...I then want her to able to tranfer them into her itunes....I authorized her computer and was able to transfer purchased songs, but was not able to transfer the songs that I put on her ipod that came from my CD collection (that are in my library). Can someone tell me how to do this?

For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Incorrect matching of "Plays/Last Played" when syncing

When I sync, sometimes the tunes played in the shuffle are incorrectly matched with a different tune in iTunes. It appears that when this happens, it is true of all tunes on the iPod. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?

I've had a similar thing, and it has happened since I updated iTunes to version 8. ***** to be me.
Previously, the little blue circle showing if a podcast was played or not played button showed next to podcasts on my Shuffle in the same way that it shows on podcasts in my library. The Shuffle also kept track of the date that the podcasts were played, and I think it was accurate in that.
Now it doesn't keep track of what's been played and what hasn't. I'm now worse off than I was before. I'd like to revert to a previous version of iTunes to get the functionality back.

'Last Played' date does not sync from ipod to itunes

Hi, I've looked through the forums and can't find an answer to this, but apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere.
I'm using itunes 7 with Windows XP and a 20gb 3rd gen ipod. I have a number of smart playlists which are based on the date songs were last played, but recently this hasn't been updated from ipod to itunes. It used to - I'm not sure if the problem has been since I updated to itunes 7 or not, but it might be. Weirdly, the play count - IS updated, so itunes knows that I played the song on my ipod, it just doesn't know when!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
David

Music will not resume at song last played

Since iOS8.3 update, my music, when stopped, will not resume on what song was last played when I start to listen again. This was not an issue before the update. Can anyone help me please? The only way I can make this work is if I do not close out the Music app. Like I said this was not an issue before and I do not want to leave the Music App/Icon open all the time. I'm not real technicaly talented so any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Below is general assistance.
Ensure the volume level in iTunes is not muted and or is up to a proper level to hear music. You can test if sound works at all in iTunes by going to iTunes Store and going to the movies area and playing a trailer or listening to song samples.

Last Played in Smart Playlists

In version 11, when a track has been played inside a Smart Playlist, the Last Played does not update. This has broken my Smart Playlists!! I have groups of them inside playlist folders, set to pick one song from a certain category based on when the song was last played. When a song plays, the Live Updating feature should recognize that it just did, delete that song, and pick another from the same category. THIS DOES NOT WORK when Last Played DOES NOT UPDATE!!

Good idea. Post it on this page so the Apple people will see it: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents etc. from my Macbook Pro, but now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents, photos etc. from my Macbook Pro. Everything seemed fine until I opened iPhoto and now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How did you move your iPhoto Library from the old Mac to your new one?
Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Does "restore from the back up of" transfer ALL data (pictures,songs,apps) from the old ipod?

I have recently got a new ipod touch 4th generation from my apple warranty and I am currently setting my new ipod up through itunes. I have come across the stage where it say "Restore from the backup of (my old ipods name)" and was wondering whether this would transfer all the data (pictures, songs, apps etc) from my old ipod to my new ipod? Thank-you

Just for clarification, the apps themselves, music and photos synced to the iPod have to be on your computer to be preent on your iPod after restoring from backup. The backup does not contain those items, then are always synced from the computer,

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
