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.

  • On my MacBookPro the program iTunes comes up and my iPad sync's up and I get the message that a PDF file is not found

    A lot of times I create PDF files for my electronic designs and present them to my customers. A files under "Book" has been deleted from my computer, but still shows up as a book listed.  When I use my iBook on my iPad, the book is not there which is great, but the book (or PDF file) is still listed. When sync occurs each time the iPad sync's up a dialogue box is created stating two songs are not there and the BOOK is not found. So I highlight the book with the check box next to it and how do I remove the contents of the library for "BOOKS"?

  • When syncing iPod I get an error that says items can't be found

    More specifically, the error message says "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they could not be found." Then it gives a list of certain songs in my library that couldn't be synced. Anyone else get this error? Any known way to fix it?

    I do not have the folder finder exclamation point of any other question mark or other finder ability.  Now what?  I was having an issue with my computer and my internal drive was so full  i could not import more photos to edit them.  I moved my catalogue and its contents to an external drive but the problem i was noticing is that it appears i have way more then one catalogue and lightroom instances spread across several drives, so i consolidated all these files into that external drive and now lightroom is unable to find its components to do crop or any changes to newly imported photos.  I wanted to just wipe out LR and reinstall from my previous downloaded product but now i can't find my that install executable and i also cannot read my perpetual license, and even though i did register this product with Adobe it does not show it in my account.  ARGH!!!

  • My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

    My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
    I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?

    It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
    If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
    If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
    Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well

  • When I use Sync My Itunes I always get the message that Itunes is busy and to try again later.  I'm trying to sync my Touch so I don't get the index is full message.  Help.

    I'm trying to use "Sync My Itunes" to use my Ipod Touch in my 2011 Ford Escape.  I keep getting an index is full and all songs may not play message.  When I use the "Sync My Itunes" I always get the message that Itunes is busy and to try again later.  How do I get this to work?  I can't reset my Ipod without losing all my 4,000+ tunes.  Help!

    The "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" solution did not work for me, but this did:
    In your iTunes library, make sure the "iCloud Download" column is showing (looks like a little cloud icon). Check for any songs that have a light gray cloud icon. Do whatever you need to do to make this icon disappear for that song (get iTunes to make sure it's downloaded onto your machine, or delete the song). Run Sync My iTunes again and it should finish.
    Notes:
    - Plugging in your iPhone/iPod might cause these songs to get copied back into your library, and you'll have to do this again. 
    - I didn't start having this problem until I bought Match
    How I discovered this:
    I noticed that it stopped every time at song #1242 in my library, so I ran "Sync My iTunes (Debug)" to see which song it stopped on. Then I went back to my library, found the song, and noticed it had the light gray cloud icon. It also had a local copy of the song already. I think iTunes gets confused sometimes and forgets that it downloaded a song from your cloud library, then tries to download it again even though it's already on your computer. Then it realizes the file's already there, and doesn't download it. However, it leaves it in your library flagged as an incomplete download. Sync My iTunes triggers iTunes to attempt download, which then makes it look like iTunes is busy. My theory at least...

  • I cannot sync my Iphone 6 . I keep getting a message that says "1 Item failed to sync. Please see ITunes for more info"

    I recently got an IPhone 6+ a few weeks ago. The 128 GB version. So far, I've loved it. I love the screen size, I love being able to put as much music and movies on it as I can. At least theoretically.
    For whatever reason, I cannot sync and put music and movies on my phone. No matter what I do, what settings I change, or how many times I Google it, I keep getting a message that says
    "1(Or just) Items failed to sync. Please see Itunes for more information"
    Every time I try to sync my phone, I get this message. I have a library of 1300 songs and entire seasons of shows that play just fine through Itunes but for whatever reason will not sync to my phone. It doesn't matter if the songs were ripped or bought from Itunes, I cannot get more than a handful of songs onto my phone anymore.
    Has anyone had this problem recently? Most Google searches only found information from 2011-12. And again, every "fix" I've found from Googling has not fixed this problem.
    What's the point in a 128 GB Iphone if I can't put anything on it?
    Thank you for your advice and direction.

    Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
    I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
    I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
    Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
    I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
    Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

  • Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

    as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from ipad back to my computer but I keep getting a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased. It also says the ipad was synced to a different library.

    My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from my ipad to my computer but get a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased and is synced to a different library. All the music purchased from itunes synced but I need to get the music that was not purchased on itunes. How do I do this?

    You don't.  the ipad is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    If so, not good.
    You may be able to purchase  a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

    When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

    This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
    "OK - this is how it works:
    In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
    Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
    Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
    At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
    If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
    Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud!  (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
    Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
    After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After  you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
    Restoring from a backup can take some time.  The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data.  If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while.  The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad.  When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
    If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
    THANK YOU edgar999!!!!
