Unable to play all songs on iPod after upgrading to iTunes 6

I recently updated my iPod (4G) to 2.3 and iTunes to 6, and now I can't play my entire library on my iPod, but I can play the entire library on my PC. Any takers? The songs in question have an exclaimation point next to them.

Usually the opposite happens to me it plays in the ipod but usually it means that iTunes can't locate the original location on the file so its like you have to right click on it and show iTunes where it is. I dunno if I helped. Hopefully one of the more accomplished members could help.

  • Smart playlists won't play on video ipod after upgrade to itunes version 7

    Upgraded to ITunes version 7 on Windows XP using Video Ipod with firmware level 1.2. Resynced Ipod after Itunes upgrade. Now when I hit ipod's play button on a smart playlist, nothing happens. If I hit play button from itunes, no problems...
    Is this a known issue with a solution? I was unable to find a solution in the forum. Thank you for any assistance.

    This problem only occurs when podcasts are included in the playlist. Full restoration of IPOD did not resolve problem.
    Contacted Apple support after a 45-minutes hold time; the support staff were not helpful. Won't invest in a support agreement with Apple going forward...

  • Unable to update iPod after upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1.

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1 from 6.x I have been unable to update my iPod. (60Gb with Video). It says on inserting my iPod a new version is available (1.2) from 1.1.2
    I get "The iPod "name" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1417)".
    I have tried the standard things... reset internet connection, restart PC, uninstall and reinstall iTunes...
    Anyone resolved this problem?

  • Can't sync ipod after upgrade of itunes!

    When I upgraded to itunes 7, it took all of the songs off of my ipod, but they are still in my library. When I restored the ipod, I got a message that the library was not copied into my ipod "because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." Anybody have any idea how to fix this?

    try playing one of the songs for a few seconds in iTunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the songs transfer the next time you sync?

  • I can't sync my iPod after upgrading to iTunes 7 - Help!

    I'm running an Intel 20" iMac with all of the latest software updates applied.
    My iPod is a 30GB iPod Photo (4G) running software version 1.2.1.
    I upgraded to iTunes 7 last night. Since then, I can't sync my iPod. Here's what happened/happens...
    I installed iTunes 7. On first run (iPod disconnected) it checked for album art and ran through my library to determine the zero gap playback info. That all happened successfully.
    When I connect my iPod (which is set to auto update), it recognizes it, and show the status page (also shows up in "devices" in left pane) and immediately a small window pops up with the text "Updating library on 'Evan's iPod'". The progress bar gets to somewhere between 30-70% and then hangs.
    I left it running all night and it never finished. My only option was to Force Quit iTunes. Once I did, my iPod was still fine, and had all my music on it, just nothing new.
    I've tried rebooting my computer and iPod, to no avail.
    I would try reformatting my iPod, except that you can now (seemingly) only do that through iTunes (as opposed to a separate updater as in the past). Since iTunes locks up as soon as my iPod is connected, that doesn't help me much...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • Itunes not recognising Ipod after upgrade to Itunes 9

    Hello,
    I upgraded to Itunes 9 as prompted, and now my computer (Windows XP) or Itunes 9 will not recognise my Ipod classic. I have tried uninstalling the USB drivers, uninstalling Itunes 9 and reinstalling Itunes 9 and then Itunes 8. Still not working.
    Could someone please help, as I have been unable to find the answer.
    Thanks!

    Can you do a system restore rollback to a time when the iPod was recognized?

  • Unable to sync with Outlook 2010 Calendar after upgrade to iTune 10.5.1

    Hi,
    I am using iTunes 10.5.0.142 running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and Office 2010 Professional, with iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1.
    After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.1, I was not able to sync with Outlook's Calendar.  However, if I use the option to overwrite all calendar entries from the computer to the iPhone, I was able to get my appointments across.  But added new appointments in Outlook did not appear in the iPhone after syncing. Syncing contacts seem to work OK so far.
    This was very similar to a problem I had when I moved to iTunes 9.2.1 to get iOS 4.0 back in Dec 2010.  This was later resolved in later builds of iTunes 10.0.
    Please look into this and see what are the differences in dealing with calendar syncing between iTunes 10.5.0.142 and your latest iTunes 10.5.1.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Gordon

    I have a solution that seems to fit globally...
    When you download and install Office 2010, you have 3 choices that you may not be aware of: 32-bit, 64-bit, click-to-run.
    32-BIT
    The 32 bit version is your typical office installation. You need to download the installer and let Office integrate with your system, just like every version to this point has done. This works with iTunes.
    64-BIT
    I haven't heard anything good about this version yet. Reports say it won't allow syncing with iTunes and various other plugins. Installation works the same as the 32 bit version.
    CLICK-TO-RUN
    This is a new installation method devised by Microsoft.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office2010/archive/2009/11/06/click-to-run-delivering -office-in-the-21st-century.aspx
    It essentially runs Office as a virtualization on a new Q drive. That means there are no EXE files for iTunes to find. Also, iTunes will not be able to locate a default mail program, even though you have Outlook set as such.
    Download time is hugely faster with C2R and updates are seamless. Kinda big brothery to me. If you want to reinstall office with a full, true version, log into your MSN account with the account you used to purchase the software, click my account, click download next the the product you purchased, then click Advanced Options and select the 32-bit version. You will need to uninstall Office 2010 before attempting a new install.
    Hope this helps.

  • Smart Playlist is not syncing to iPod after upgrade to iTunes 9

    Since upgrading to iTunes 9, one of my smart playlists is no longer syncing to my iPod, however, it syncs fine with my iPhone.
    The conditions for the playlist are:
    Media kind is podcast
    PlayCount is 0
    Any ideas why it's not syncing?

    Quick fix: Make a regular playlist. Drag the contents of the smart playlist into it. Sync the new playlist.
    WIthout seeing the rules for your smart list it is hard to guess what the problem is, but you may get better results if you break it down into more sublists gathered together in a playlist folder.

  • Won't play some songs on ipod but will in itunes

    This is concerning an ipod w/color (4th generation I guess)............
    All of a sudden, some of the songs won't play on the iPod but they will play when I connect the iPod to itunes and the song list comes up. When I try to play the same song just on the ipod itself it skips down to the next song.
    Any ideas?

    i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

  • Keeping songs on ipod after reinstalling new itunes-help!

    I recently wiped all programs off my computer and reinstalled them due to virus issues. However I did not realise that the new itunes program would not recognise the songs on my ipod and wants to write over the songs before allowing me to put new songs on there! I do not have another backup of these songs that are on my ipod- how do I overcome this problem?

    First, set iTunes to manually sync to music instead of automatically doing it:

  • Can't sync iPod after upgrading to iTunes 11

    I had a Windows XP computer with an older version of  iTunes which I synced (by cable) with my iPod Classic (version 2.0).  The XP computer recently crashed and I bought a Windows 8.1 computer on which I installed iTunes 11, and authorized the new computer.  I managed to restore my music to the new computer from backup, but now when I sync, newly purchased tracks are not transferred to the iPod. Also I can't seem to rip from CDs anymore, the "Import" window doesn't open when I put a music CD in the drive.  The tracks in my playlist purchased from iTunes have a "cloud" icon next to them, which I believe means they haven't been redownloaded to my computer but are on the iCloud servers.      I don't understand iTunes 11.  Does iCloud stop devices from syncing by wire?   I don't want iCloud or any new features, I just want my old functions to work!  Help!

    Okay! Thanks! Followed the link to that threat and figured out the problem. I had moved iTunes to a sub-folder in Applications (for grouping together as a stack in the dock, something stacks should have been able to do anyway) and when it installed the new version it didn't check where the old one was, it just dropped the new one in Applications.
    Everyone else who has this problem double check and make sure you don't have two different versions of iTunes: one in the applications folder and another that your dock shortcut directs to.

  • IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

    Hi.
    On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order.  Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen?  I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
    Thanks,
    J.

    You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.
