Updating changes to Itunes Library to ipod?

I just finished syncing up my new 160. After reviewing the library on my ipod, I wanted to make some changes to how certain artists & songs were filed (mispelled some artists, changed some compilation settings...). Is there a way to have the music on my ipod automatically reflect the changes I made in my itunes library?

*Is there a way to have the music on my ipod automatically reflect the changes I made in my itunes library?*
If your iPod is set to update and sync automatically it will pick up the changes next time you connect. You can also sync it yourself when it's connected, right click on the iPod icon in iTunes and choose Sync from the menu that appears.

  • My ipod touch is not getting recognised after the update in my itunes library. the library is updated. and it shows the connect to itunes sign.

    my ipod touch is not getting recognised after the update in my itunes library. i have updated my library as well. but it shows the connect to itunes sign on my ipod.

    If it happened after updating iTunes on the computer see:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    If after updating the iOS on your iPod:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Replacing iTunes library with iPod library?

    replacing iTunes library with iPod library?
    Can anyone tell me how I can replace my entire iTunes music library with my iPod music?

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    If your library is currently empty and your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. For the duration of the transfer change your update setting to manual so you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
    Whichever of these transfer methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

    How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

    Sorry I'm so late responding; I've been away.

    The error means that your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update process.

  • TS1702 To transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV:

    iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV

    It sounds as though you are doing something wrong or at least that something is going wrong. Are you saying that content synced to your Apple tv disappears every time you unplug it and requires resyncing again. Do you have to set it up again or does the content just disappear.

  • Unable to add certain files to iTunes Library or iPod

    For some reason, whenever I try to add some files with an .avi format to my iTunes Library or iPod just won't let me. I've tried the add file/folder option and it simply doesn't work. It does absolutely nothing. It won't let me drag/drop to the Library, only iPod. But when I try drag/dropping it to the iPod (as I've succesfully been able to do in the past with other files)I get an:
    "[File Name].avi" was not coppied to the iPod "[iPod Name]" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    sorry all. i restarted iTunes after i downloaded and installed QT and everything started working. total retardedness on my end

  • Have my iTunes library on iPod ...

    Have my iTunes library on iPod so purchased iTunes Match to hear music on iPad also. Now iPad is asking me to transfer from iPod to iPad... confused???

    iTunes Match does not scan an iOS device's library. The service only scans an iTunes library. To use iTunes Match effectively all your music must be in an iTunes library so it can be scanned, matched, uploaded and mirroed in the cloud. Music that is not in an iTunes library will be removed from an iOS device.
    It is not possible to transfer music from one iOS device to another, iTunes must be used for syncing.
    Tell us in detail what you are trying to accomplish. iTunes Match may not be the best tool for the job.

  • How/can I update itunes library from ipod

    I had a previous version of iTunes on a work PC, which I had copied my entire CD collection onto. I have since moved companies and hence lost the laptop. I(maybe stupidly) assumed that I could update the iTunes library from the iPod.
    Having searched the support pages, the only way that I can tell to do this was to export the library in the first place, which I did not do. Also iTunes seems to want to delete everything from my iPod everytime I try to do anything?!?
    I really want to avoid spending every evening for another week downloading all the albums again, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks
    Mark

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
    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 (as previously mentioned) is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • My itunes library and ipod playlist disappeared?

    i'm not sure what happened, but i intentionally deleted a bunch of mp3 files from my library (about 75% of my music folder) after uploading them to my 30 gig new generation Ipod. I believe that after this action, my Itunes library disappeared - including my Ipod playlist (the playlist i defaulted my Ipod to sync with). Now, whenever i open up Itunes, there's no music in my library or anything. I still have my 10 gigs of music on my Ipod that i had uploaded prior to this, however, i want to add more songs onto my Ipod. The problem and question here is, i'm afraid that when i sync my Ipod with a new playlist, will all of the songs on my Ipod be erased?
    i had the idea of downloading IpodRip to retrieve the songs from my Ipod to my computer, then just starting from scratch and adding all the songs at one time, however, IpodRip would only open with errors and not retrieve my songs.
    i hope someone understands this situation - i have a difficult time explaining it in type without sounding confusing. i'm not very feature-savvy with Itunes or my Ipod.

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
