Unable to sync playlists from iTunes to touch iPod, the songs sync but not the playlists

I use to be able to just plug my iPod into my computer and have it automatically update.  The songs are updating from the iTunes to the iPod but the playlists are not for some reason.  Someone by accident ended up deleting a playlist off my iPod, and I didnt worry as I thought when I plugged it back into my computer to iTunes it would automatically sync the playlists again, but it didnt.  Any help as to what I do from here? Do I wipe everything off the iPod and start again?  Thanks

Thanks, good to know that restoring it will not be my best use of time.  I hope we dont have to live with it as its easier to manage playlists and make new ones from the iTunes end vs the iPod end.  Thanks for your reply.

    I recently bought a few new songs from iTunes and they transfer to my iPhone, but not into the Playlists I dragged them into

    Do the problem songs play in iTunes on the computer?
    Is Settings>iTunes and App Store signed into the account that purchased them?
    Can yo redownlod them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Do they show up in the Purchased list?
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing/loading those songs?

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

  • Unable to transfer purchases from itunes back to ipod

    I am unable to deauthorize my old computer as it was a work computer and I am no longer with that company. I authorized my new comp and transfered my purchases to the new itunes. However, when I try to sync the information from itunes back to my ipod classic I get a warning message:
    "Some of the items in the itunes Library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer" I have 118 items unable to be retransfered. HELP!
    How do I sync songs/movies from limewire to my ipod?

    have you tried to deauthorize your old computer...because you should be able to by going to store, clicking deauthorize computer,and then putting in the account info from the old computer.
    um..find one of the songs that can't be transfered. does it play in itunes? if not, jut reauthorize it with whatever account it's from.
    are the songs from limewire in your itunes library??

  • HT201272 I am missing parts of songs downloaded from itunes.they are in my purchased section but not in the artists folder.they play for the first part but do not complete the track

    For the last few downloads the albums have been incomplete.most of the tracks are ok, but two or three tracks start ok but do not finish ,stopping after an short part and then going on to the next track. the songs are complete when i check them in the purchased section, but are incomplete in the album folder.

    Thank you, I read that lengthy procedure before I asked the question.
    I have no way of following all of those steps successfully since I am about butterfingered a sthe last dinosaur and will make every  mistake in the world and get frustrated with  something that SHOULD be simple.
    I have the three disk autobook showing in iTunes library as one title , I had to  enter the dat amyself since it was not listed on the internet data base, All entries for all tracks match and I have indicated  the disk number  as  one, two or three of three as indicated.
    Yet when I sync the iTunes to the iPod I am being presented with each individual track listed in the Audiobook Menu.
    I am using the latest version of iTunes and a iPod Classic 160G-- that I purchased three days ago purposefully for the converting of the audiobooks to a portable device since the Library of Congress  ( NLS BARD ) books are formatted differently and the player is bulky.
    Does anybody hav eany other ideas?
    Does anybody have an e-mail address for Apple,  preferably iTunes folks?
    This is a handicap accessability problem since my wife cannot see and depends on these audio books.
    Obviously I will try that link to that Chapter and Verse site and see what I can do.
    Thank you for your quick response

  • How do i transfer songs from itunes to my ipod

    I tried to transfer a song that i bought from the itunes library to my ipod but a message always pops up that says i am not authorized to play it on my computer. what does this mean and how do i put the song on my ipod?

    You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

  • I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod but after the sync is finished the games are not on my ipod and on itunes they are no longer selected. any ideas?

    I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod touch. After the sync is done the games I checked to sync are no longer checked and nothing was actually synced. Any ideas?

    Are the apps/games compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
    Do you have restrictions set that prevent installing the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you successfully synced apps from that iTunes library to your computer before?

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes.  Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes.  Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • I can't load tv shows from iTunes onto my iPod touch.  I can't purchase video (tv shows) on the phone, either.  Anyone know anything about that?

    I can't sync tv shows from iTunes to my iPod Touch (4th gen).  I can't purchase tv shows on the iPod, either.  Anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
    If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
    For details, see this Apple article:
    About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
    I hope this helps you,

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
