Hi rowanfr,
If you are having issues syncing some of your songs from iTunes, possibly because of formatting, you may find the following articles helpful:

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle or changes in the moving waveform graph with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- 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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I tunes could not contact the ipod software update server

Hello all, I am running a Dell laptop running windows 7 professional with mobile broadband. I have the latest i Tunes software installed. I have a ipod touch that I am trying to update the software but keep getting the same error. i tunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet.
I have seen many potential solutions and have tried them all. What can I do to remedy this situation?

Thank you Illaass
None of the suggestions in your link fixed my problem. HOWEVER, I did find something that did! I used the network diagnostic tool in i Tunes. It was not recongizing the internet connection. It offered some solutions, which include the ones at the link you provided plus a few more. The fix seemed to be to de-select the option "check for server certificate revocation*" in internet options -> advanced -> scroll down to the "Security" section, 5th item in the list. I am not a computer guy and I'm not sure why this worked, but it was a suggestion from i Tunes network diagnostics. Hope this helps someone else.

Audio books not appearing in iPod list

I have an 80gb 5g.
I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

IOS 4.3 Home Sharing: "Shared" Not Appearing In iPod

I just updated to 4.3 today and enabled Home Sharing on my computer immediately afterwards. The account showed "On, no users connected" under iTunes preferences on the computer, and iTunes was open and running the entire time I attempted the following:
When the update finished on the phone, I found the Home Sharing section under Settings > iPod, and I entered the appropriate username and password for the Home Sharing account (correctly, I might add - I've fat-fingered many passwords in the past, so I took extra care this time). After connecting my iPhone to my home wifi network (the same one as the computer in question), I opened the iPod app and went to "More," but the "Shared" option did not appear at all. I hard-reset my phone to no success, so I then restored my phone to factory settings through iTunes and attempted to just connect to wifi and enter the AppleID and password for Home Sharing, but it still will not populate the "Shared" option. I am now very confused.
Help?

I was having the same problem as this but got it working now thanks to this suggestion. Because I had previously (over a year ago) copied my itunes library when I got a new hard drive, I had to recreate my itunes library.
Home sharing is working fine now, but it does seem to have got rid of any changes to the ID3 tags I'd made. For instance some artist info I'd changed to match the album artist has reverted, and some TV shows were labelled as movies, so I changed them, but now they're back in the movies section.
JUST HAD A LOOK AROUND ITUNES AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE SCREWED A LOT OF THINGS UP. Lost all my apps, ringtones, etc. and when I go to my iphone in itunes nothing's syncing and if I mark the checkboxes for it to sync, the bar at the bottom seems to suggest it's going to delete pretty much everything. Time to see if I can restore it as it was. Home sharing isn't worth this much hassle...

Ok, so I've now got my iTunes library back (by dragging the file I'd trashed when following the advice above back to the iTunes directory) and everything seems to be syncing properly, and once again home sharing isn't working.
It looks like the problem is with the library ID, but the only way to fix it screws up a whole lot more.

Please help! Artist names not appearing in ipod after syncing!

Hey there everyone, I really really need some help with this problem that I have now had for 2 months. I have this problem on 3 different ipods so I know it is not a problem with the ipod, it is with itunes.
My itunes library is in perfect order and set up how I want it to be when in my ipod, e.g, every song has the artist, album and song name in the correct places in the 'get info' tab, and appears in the correct places in the itunes library.
However, when I synchronise my ipod with itunes, the artist tab in the ipod consistently says 'no artists'. However, the songs are in the songs tab and albums in the albums tab, but it doesn't register the artists. Because of this I can't search for the artists I want.
I have spoken to apple numerous times and they haven't been able to tell me what is wrong with it. I'm at my wits end with this and so greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
Things I have tried so far include, changing ipods, selecting all as part of a compilation, deleting the music from itunes and then putting back into itunes. None of this has worked.
Please help
Thanks

*When I rip CD's onto iTunes and then upload them onto my iPod some of them DON'T APPEAR ON THE 'ARTIST' section of my iPod Nano.*
There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

Artists DO NOT Appear on iPod Directory

This is kind of annoying: Some of the artists do not appear on my iPod's "Artist" directory, so I have to look under "Albums" to find the artist that way. Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

I have a red X in a circle which sometimes changes to the apple logo but nothing else happens after i try every suggestion; Windows nor itunes does not recognise the ipod; what do you suggest?

You could possibly try a restore from itunes or from the ipod itself, otherwise go get it looked at/replaced, that sounds like a software issue.

Podcast episode does not appear in iPod app on iPhone

My podcast feed "A Thoughtful Faith" has two episodes. Both of them download without trouble on the desktop version of iTunes, but on the iPhone after episode 1 downloads it still shows that it is available and not "Downloaded," and will not show up in iPod app. My listeners are reporting a similar problem.

LInking directly to their file is obviously the sensible thing to do. It looks as if the problem lies wieth the athoughtfulfaith.org server.
There is a test suggested in this thread to check for byte-range request ability, consisting of pasting this into Terminal:
curl -I -r 200-300 http://athoughtfulfaith.org/podcast/AThoughtfulFaith-001-GregPrince.mp3
The results, according to that thread, would seem to suggest that the server does handle them:

I don't know how reliable this test is. It may be that the problem is something different, particularly as the file appears to download complete and then disappears. I can only suggest trying hosting the file on another server, or asking the people who run your server whether they can suggest anything.
As to your other question, the PubDate for the Classic episode is indeed 2 September but the URL is definitely the mormonstories.org one. In order to look at the feed, control-click or right-click on the URL:
http://athoughtfulfaith.org/podcast/atf-rss.xml
and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent. Open the file in TextEdit or any text editor to read it: search for <enclosure to find the tag containing the media file URL.

Some manually artwork does not appear on ipod classic

I spent 5 hours yesterday searching for and adding cover art to my itunes albums. When I synched it to my ipod classic some of the art shows and some does not. I tried turning off the ipod and resetting it but no luck.
any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded or downloaded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from the first track to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists for the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them simply create a Smart Playlist with the rule *Has Artwork is False*. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize a smallish image you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably a good minimum size. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600 which is probably a good maximum.
If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Control-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I've created a script for Windows users that can replicate art from any track found to have art into any other tracks from the same album (stored in the same folder) which you can find at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache *(Pre iTunes 9 only)*, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again. *Post iTunes 9*, the only option is a full restore of the iPod.

"VIDEO NOT APPEARING ON IPOD" my solution

OKAY...this was the same thing that happened to me and I figured out the problem...it might be the same for you all...when you plug your iPod into the usb and the iPod Updater screen appears through your iTunes account, go to the "TV Shows" tab at the top. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "Sync ALL videos." It turns out that the videos that weren't appearing on my iPod were the ones that had been watched at least once. I had the "Sync ALL UNWATCHED" option selected, there for all of the episodes that were viewed on my computer were not synced onto my iPod. HOPE THIS HELPS!

My video appears on the list of TV shows on my ipod. But when I play it, nothing comes up. I tried synce and stuff. All that did was delete all my songs.
