Transferring Problems W/ 30 GB New Ipod

So I'm not exactly sure how to describe this but this is what happens and I wanna know why and how I can change this.
I went on my ipod the other day to say search for a Method Man song I have on my itunes. I have about 5959 songs on my itunes and it covers about 27.45 gb's of my 30 gb ipod. This particular song I did not put in the album title to the song and I found that when i went to look for the song on my ipod only the songs that were there were the ones with album titles. So basically I can't get to any of the songs on my ipod unless they have an album title. Why is this? How can i change it?
And can anyone give me an approximation of how many songs I can still fit on my ipod if 27.23 gb's are takin up with 5959 songs if my ipod is a 30gb?

How many times need you ask this question? : )

What battery life are you getting? Is it short when you are using the iPod? When it is sleeping?

Problem with my 32GB new iPod Touch storage

HHi, I have recently bought a new 32GB iPod Touch. I have configured it and synced it the first time to iTunes and everything worked well. During my second synch and while iTunes was copying new songs to my iPod something went wrong and the sync was interrupted. Since then, each time I plug my iPod to sync it with iTunes, the space manager shows me that I have 19.9 GB of data categorized as Others which is the untrue and I'm unable to put new data. I was unable to solve this problem and need your ****.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Can anyone help me out please?

Even though the diagnostics aren't showing errors for it, I think it's probably still worth checking on your USB drivers, as per the following document:

Transferring frrom iTunes to a new ipod and deleting songs on the old

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. My Ipod nano is almost full, so I wish to delete the playlists/ songs on it and give it to another family member, but without deleting anything in iTunes. Them I want to transfer everything in my existing iTunes onto a new, bigger ipod. What's the workflow for doing that safely?
Thanks.
Nano Windows XP

1 - Hand them them iPod and say, "Happy iPod to
you!".
2 - Plug in the new iPod, watch it load, unplug it
and think, "Happy iPod to me" and use it.
It really is that simple.
Thanks.
How do I delete playlists from the original ipod without deleting them from itunes (so that they are unchanged and ready to synch. with the new one)?

thanks,

First things first do you have the menu bar on? Second, have you tried plugging the usb into a different port? ALSO once device is seen in itunes, go to the summary tab & click manage music manually. You should still be able to click & drag.

ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

OK here's my other problem:
I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays. The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30. It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

Moving contents from old iPod to new iPod

I would like to shift all the contents on my old 30g iPod over to the new 160g I just bought. I haven't kept everything on my iTunes library, so is there a really simple way to do this without losing things? Any help would be appreciated.

The songs from the old iPod will have to be moved to iTunes, then transferred from there to the new iPod.
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.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES. There is a bar with buttons toward the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist. Click Apply.
Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library. The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

Syncing a second new iPod nano.

I am having problems syncing a second new iPod nano. iTunes is set to sync entire library 1100 songs but when it syncs it only adds 18 songs. Any suggestions

You'll be fine. You can sync them both.

Clicked restore instead new ipod in itunes

I purchased a new ipod touch and while setting it up in Itunes clicked restore instead of new. Now its not transferring the files onto the new ipod properly. and just stalls. I also had to update the Itunes in order for it recognize the new device.

And whasy is your question?
Try closing iTunes, force close if necessary, disconnect the iPod, and rebppt the co puter.
Then try again. If necessary to allow the restore,
- Reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Plave the iPod in Recovery Mode
At what step (Description) did it freeze?

Major problems with transferring songs to new iPod touch 5th gen

Hi, I'm in need of help.
I just bought a new iPod touch 5th generation today and I naturally wanted to transfer some songs to it today via iTunes. I have an old MacBook aluminium with os x 10.5.8 and I have not been able to update any of my programs lately due to the fact that my os does not support them. When I plugged in my iPod to my computer, iTunes immediately opened and said that I had to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because my iPod is not compatible with the current version. I tried doing so but failed since my os is not compatible with the new program. This is obviously just a vicious circle, since as I said, I have to buy the latest os x to update any of my programs. And since my computer is 5 years old I do not feel the need to do that, because I will soon buy a new one (in about a year).
So now I really need help. How do I transfer music to my iPod without using iTunes? I've tried googling it and I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are just 30 day trials and that won't work for me since I update my iPod daily. I've also tried putting music on dropbox but my iPod won't download music files from there, and sending music through Bluetooth won't work either. For a moment I though iCloud might work but I don't have that on my computer nor can I download it. Right now the situation seems hopeless, is the only way of solving this by upgrading my old computer or wait until I buy a new one? I feel like there must be some sort of way, but I can't come up with anything else.
Please help me, thank you

I know of no way except to upgrade the computer/purchases newer computer that will handle iTunes 10.7 or later.
If you have a Power PC processor (vice an Intel processor) you need a Mac with an Intel processor.If you computer has an Intel processor just purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade disk About $30
