Updating Music to iPod Failed - Podcasts worked! Why?

I've been having trouble updating the music from my computer onto my ipod. I synced all my music and playlists (along with one podcast) to the ipod via iTunes, and it seemed to have worked sucessfully. At the bottom of the iPod summary tab in iTunes, it showed that I used up 9.22 GB of memory for music and 176.8 MB for one podcast. However, when I eject my ipod to have it for portable use, no songs or playlists show up on my ipod (as if the device was empty!). Yet, the podcast transferred sucessfully. ??? I reconnected my ipod to my computer, and I revisited the ipod summary tab in iTunes, and iTunes no longer read the 9.22 GB as music, but as "other" (marked in orange). Is there some corruption with the music here? Why can't I get my music onto my ipod sucessfully?

I too have experianced the same problem. I have synced music, it shows on the play list in iTunes, but when i eject the iPod it shows music as 0. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes software and restored the iPod on several occasions over the past 3 days. I have run out of ideas, I don't know what else to try - any suggestions?

Draging library music to ipod button- NOT WORKING

Hi, I am updating music manually...which I want to do. When I copy songs from my library to my ipod, by draging to my ipod button, it doesnt go into my itunes library and on to my computer. does anyone know whats wrong?

You can select the exact content that you sync to your iPod every time that you sync if you want to do so.
When the iPod is connected to the computer, launch iTunes and select your iPod under the devices heading on the left side of the iTunes window. Click on the Summary tab and select Syncs On,y Checked Songs and Videos - I can't remember the exact wording but you will see it in the options. Then click on the Music Tab. Select the albums, songs, playlist - Howe evr you arrange your music - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

Wonder if anyone can help me out here... (Updating Music on ipod)

Ever since I bought my iPod, about three weeks ago, I've had a really bad problem:
Each time I try to update my iPod with new music (either manually or automatically), the music in my computer will begin to transfer, but at any given point, the updating will stop (the updating bar on Itunes will become idle and the iPod will disconnect from the computer automatically) and iTunes will crash my PC. The program will not close and my machine wont turn off. I need to do a hard reboot to get everything back in working order. It is extremely anoying and I assume potentially dangerous for my PC since I have to reset it every time it happens.
Here is some general info:
I have a fifth generation 30 gig iPod
My PC is running windows XP
I have the latest iTunes version
anyone?
Thanks.

Everytime I try to start a video (music or TV) iTunes stops working, why?

I want to watch my TV shows on itunes, but whenever I try to start the video, I get the windows message, "itunes has stopped working" and then it closes down. I also tried putting on music videos that have worked before, and they no longer load, just close down. How can I fix this?!

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

Updating Music to Ipod

I don't know what the malfunction is on my ipod but it is driving me crazy. I have a 4 GB ipod nano. I have 633 songs (3.06 GB) in my iTunes library (some downloaded from CD's some puchased from iTunes). I recently updated the software and since then it has gone haywire...it won't update the ipod with the new music I have added to my iTunes library. I have tried everything including restoring the iPod...I just did this and followed all the directions...set it up to automatically download the library and it is downing 570 songs available for download...yet if you click on the iTunes library it shows 633 songs and 3.06 GB...***?

I haven't noticed a pattern but after I restored the ipod last night and reconnected to computer it took over 9 hours for it to "update" when it was finished there was nothing on the ipod. I disconnected and restarted computer (twice). I reconnected again and after a few minutes it said it was updating but this time it said it was updating 11 songs...I have now 647 in my iTunes library.
I can't uninstall and reinstall iTunes as I have no where to back up my music that is on iTunes...So much or Apple being superior to all things PC...
Help!!!

Unable to Upgrade to new itunes-can't update music on ipods

When I try to upgrade my windows32 to the new 10.6 itunes after it runs through the calculations I receive the following message:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.
A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
I have defragged and checked/repaired errors and tried again with the same result.
I am unable to make changes to ipods because it states it needs the upgraded itunes.
Thank you.

I suspect you missed out a step in the transfer process somewhere that was designed to avoid this situation...
The exclamation mark shows if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Ctrl-click on an empty check box will check them all...

Logitech mouse scroll fails to work why?

Using OS X 10.8.4 I find suddenly my Logitech Nano Wireless Mouse is behaving strangely. The most notable being that the scroll wheel no longeer functions properly. I've varied speed and settings in System preferences but all to no avail. Can anybody suggest how to get this function back in workgn order? I have no problems scrolling on the track pad so it seems the fault lies with the wireless mouse. Logitech website shows no driver updates to solve the problem.

The latest Mac software can be obtained from the VX Nano Downloads Page.

See the support page. The questions address some of your exact issues as well if this driver does not resolve the problem. You may need to also 1) clean the mouse, 2) reset the unifying receiver

RED IPOD CHROMATIC 8GB BUTTONS FAIL TO WORK

Okay so, to my recollection:
1.I added a podcast to the iPod
2.I clicked the eject button on itunes after the little circle thing had 3.finished spinning and my ipod disapears from the itunes menu
4.I look at my iPod - it still says "synchronizing - do not disconnect"
5.The buttons on my iPod fail to work
6.I plug my iPod into speaker dock, and am able to use all the buttons including the click wheel to turn up the volume.
7.I take the ipod out - the buttons stop working again.
8.I return to my iPod a day later, and try to plug it into the speakers - now the buttons are either not working altogether or acting up (if I press >> to skip a song, it instead fast forwards the song)
9.I've reset the iPod several times (Menu & Select) and nothing is working
p.s. my computer still recognises the iPod on itunes!
Has anyone else experienced this? Really annoyed..this iPod was brand new at christmas. It is my 2nd ipod, my first one had the 'dreaded white screen'.
Do iPods have built in obsolescence?

I unfortunately have to join the group. This just happened to me 4 hours ago and I have had no luck at getting any reaction out of my laptop or the ipod. Do any of the IT people for Apple or any of the programers not have any suggestions?!

When are they going to bring out an update that makes ipod work properly?

Every version of iTunes I've had has caused my PC to crash. It still isn't able to convert more than 4 WMA files to Mp3 without crashing, today it decided that I can't drag and drop whole folders, I have to do individual songs, and that's after reinstalling an old version of iTunes because the latest updates for iPod and iTunes made my PC crash over and over (around 10 times before I could actually use it and uninstall the update). If I'm listening to iTunes and I open a webpage with quicktime, *Blue screen* + multiple reboots. When will Apple stop messing about and bring out an update that makes iPod/iTunes actually work?

Did it ever occur to you that the problem might be your computer & not every version of iTunes that has been released to date?

I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.
