Updating songs in order on the IPOD?

I want to add a song to my Nano, however I want to put it in a certain spot. I want to move the song that is in that spot down and add the new one to that spot. If I add a new song to the list it automatically adds it to the bottom How do you put songs on your IPOD in order?

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.
 Cheers, Tom

It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes. So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes. Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

Are they not played in the order they are listed? Have you checked the Setting to make sure that the Shuffle and Repeat options are turned off?

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Partial songs are copied to the IPod

In my iTunes Library the entire song exists - when the song is synced to the iPod only part of the song is copied. This has happened to quite a few songs (happened during a restore). Does anyone know what causes this and what can be done to fix it?

Certain songs are being reordered in my albums on my iPod Classic when I synch to iTunes. They appear correct in iTunes, but out of order on the iPod. I want to be able to put the songs back in album order. Anyone see this?

This bug also seems to affect songs I have played recently. This is for albums, not self-made playlists.

Hi Thunderflare99,
Are the affected albums consisting of more than one artist per album (eg. a compilation)?
If so then go into iTunes with your iPod plugged in, click on the iPod tab, select the songs in that album, right click, click on 'Get info' and then click on the 'Options' tab. Then, tick the box saying 'Part of a compilation'.
Good Luck,
Stefan

4th Gen iPod: New songs that are added appear in a random order on the iPod

Everything is correct in iTunes. (ripped straight off the CD) Its pretty irritating how it's not the same on the iPod. Anyway know how to fix it?

- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My computer says my songs are loaded on the ipod, but there isn't anything

I got an iPod mini for Christmas. I followed the instructions to get everything set up on the computer (I already had iTunes). When I connect my iPod, it says all of the songs are already downloaded to my iPod and the "updates are complete". When I disconnect my iPod, there aren't any songs there. If I scroll through the settings, it says "0 songs", but when I connect my iPod to iTunes, it says there is 11 hours of songs there (I have the songs uploaded to the computer, but I cannot get them onto my iPod).
I tried to reset my iPod, restore it, reload and update iTunes, everything else that is suggested to fix it. My computer says the songs are on my iPod, but my iPod says there are 0 songs. How do I get the songs loaded?

Strange iPod behavior.

HT1535 I want to load a playlist onto an iPod Shuffle that plays in a specific order. (The ipod is not on the shuffle mode but it keeps changing the desried order. I'm going crazy!

I've created a playlist in iTunes for someone in a specific order. I've bought them an iPod shuffle and have downloaded the playlist onto the iPod. Unfortunately, the iPod shuffle then reorders the paylist and it also plays in another order. The shuffle function is switched off, so I don't elieve it is anything to do with that!
It's driving me crazy! Please help!!!

Which shuffle model do you have? This document shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
Assuming it is the current 4th gen shuffle (or 3rd gen), if you want to play songs from a playlist on the shuffle, in playlist order, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. By default, the shuffle plays songs from the All Songs list. When you set the power switch to play-in-order, the All Songs list plays songs alphabetically.
This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on the shuffle.

If that playlist is selected, and the power switch is set to play-in-order, the shuffle plays the songs in playlist order.

Updating without deleting everything on the ipod

Apologies if this is already written somewhere. I have itunes on two machines, and periodically, would like to add what's been purchased on one computer to what's already on the ipod and has been purchased on the other. But every time, the content that is on the ipod is not augmented by the update, it is totally wiped out, with only the new material remaining from the most recent update.
Thanks for any help with this.

If you're going to get music off of two computers you need to put your iPod on Manual update; connect your iPod to iTunes; go to edit; preferences; iPod; and click on "manually manage songs and playlists." Also you will need to click and drag your music/video to your iPod when on manual update.

Can't add songs unless I restore the iPod. (unable to write to disk)

iPod Shuffle 512
Brand new XL SP2 machine with all windows updates
The only way I can put new songs on my shuffle is if I (1) restore it, & (2) let it automatically fill. If I want specific songs to load I have to delete some of the songs that populated the playlist automatically & hurry up & add the desired songs to the ipods playlist because once it's done uploading it wont accept any more songs. It will give me that "Unable to write to disk" error. In a nutshell, the ipod will only upload during the initial session immediately after restoring.
If I come back the next day or even just 2 minutes later wanting to add an additional song I have to start the process all over.
This happened using the newest version of iTunes as well as an older version (about a year old) that I keep around because I know its stable & one of the updates in between caused my video podcasts to be choppy.
Anything I can do or am I stuck?
I knew I shoulda got a Mac!

In my experince Mac is no better than PC, its all in the user and how much you know. I fix more Macs daily than PCs. Of course all the PC I work on I built myself... lets see you build your own Mac!

Stopping a song to shut down the iPod

OK, so my daughter and I are new to this iPod thing as you'll soon see. We've figured out how to pause a song that is playing, but can't figure out how to stop a song. In order to turn the iPod off, we've been holding the pause button. Eventually the screen goes dark. But when we turn the iPod back on, it starts up where it left off -- with the paused song showing. This is only an issue, because we were wondering whether that causes a drain on the battery. Our iPod was dead as door nail this morning after one day of limited use.

"In order to turn the iPod off, we've been holding the pause button."
That is correct.
"when we turn the iPod back on, it starts up where it left off -- with the paused song showing"
That is correct also. Pressing and holding pause turns the iPod off. When you turn it on again, it resumes from where you left off, unless it's been unused for a period of 36 hours or more, when it reverts to the main menu.
