Can't see the updated song

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my 5th Gen Ipod 30G.
the problem is ..I Can't see the some updated songs on my Ipod.
I can see the songs are already in my Ipod through the Itune's songlist(also under IPOD menu when It syncs.). but for some reason.. I dont see them in the Ipod.
for example, I have three mp3s of "2pac"..on my itune list, but I only see one song.

Updating songs maunally

I have set my itunes to not update songs every time i plug my ipod in: i do it by hand. I just put a cd into my computer. Now, it is in my library folder, but i want to get it into my ipod where it said My Name's Ipod.
I drag it in, and it wont work. I even drag the whole "folder" into Alexa's Ipod, and that wont work

Just to be sure everything is set up correctly, check your update preferences. Connect the iPod and when it appears in the source list go to iTunes>Preferences>iPod> Music tab and make sure the "manually manage songs and playlists" radio button is checked.

Updating songs goes to hard drive?

When I manually try to update songs, itunes creates a file on my server hard drive and doesn't seem to recognize the ipod, although I was able to run the ipod updater. Am I doing something stupid?

You probably have a drive letter conflict in Windows.
iTunes thinks your network drive is your iPod.
You should do into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > COmputer Management > Disk Management and change the drive letter of your iPod to something unique. It's currently trying to use the same drive letter as another drive.

HT1849 After I delete songs manually from my iPhone 5s, when I try to pick a song, it will not chose that song but some song above it. How far up depends on how many I've deleted. How can I stop this so I can pick the correct song the first time?

After deleting songs manually from my phone, (say, I have a song on there twice and only want one or I realize I don't want a song on my iPhone) when I try to manually pick a song in the music app on my phone, the song that plays will be one that is a number of songs above the one I chose. If I delete a number of songs, it may be four or five songs above the one I want to play. It continues after I sync it in iTunes. How do I stop this? Thanks, Gregg

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

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.

HELP!!! itunes wont update songs to ipod

basically as the topic says im having trouble with itunes and my ipod Video , the problem is that i connect my ipod to my computer ,itunes recognizes my ipod and says its updating songs but it doesnt and after a minute or so it says "Itunes has encountered an error" and closes down.
Any idea on how to solve this problem ??
any help will be appreciated
Windows XP

okay, we'd better try enlisting some additional technical help then.
we'll get a crash log from itunes, and send it to so someone who can interpret crash logs. (it may take a few days before you get a response.)
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using, the version number of your ipod updater, the software version on your ipod, and the model of ipod you're getting the crash with:
iPod: How to find software version
Identifying different iPod models
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

Itouch 4th Generation won't update songs when i edit them through devices

Whenever i update songs on itunes from devices they wont update on the ipod itself just on the library list under devices and it will stay the same on the ipod as before i edited so i have to erase them edit them on itunes library and them drag them again into ipod i wanna be able to edit them withouth having to edit info in library and have to drag them also when i put an album artwork the same way the picture wont be on the ipod and it will skip the song as soon as it start i just got the ipod yesterday brand new?

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

Everytime i need to add a song in my i phone,it always ask for earse and sync option,i need to avoid that a add songs manually.

Updating UI Manually

Hi,
Is there a way to update UI manually?
For example, I have a function which updates UI and execute some logic.
After the UI update, it will execute some logic that will take a long time and update of UI has to be wait until the execution of logic is finished.
Is there a way to update UI manually befor even the logic is even executed?
It seems that thread can be used in here.
But Is there a way to solve this by not using thread?
Also, using if thread can be used, what is the best practice?
Thanks!

Insert this line between the UI update and the logic.
CFRunLoopRunInMode (CFRunLoopCopyCurrentMode(CFRunLoopGetCurrent()), 0, FALSE);

Any suggestion and comment or advise please on this issue?
I'd recommend you take the advice given by Mende1 to you on this question last year:

Why I can't I do a songs sort which are marked by !'s (apostrophes) on the left side of list indicating the song does not exist in my music border, instead of scrolling through 1000's of song manually?? Seems stupid, no?

Why I can't I do a songs sort which are marked by !'s (apostrophes) on the left side indicating the song does not exist in my music border, instead of scrolling through 1000's of song manually?? Seems stupid, no? And these !'s appear only when you try to play that song and it says "unable to locate".

Use Shift+Delete to remove items from a playlist and the library at the same time.

No 10.4.7 update via Software Update nor manually for MBP

Via Software Update, I have applied the 10.4.7 update to a variety of machines, but, for some reason I have yet to determine, my MBP will a) not "find" the updated via Software Update to date and b) upon downloading both the intel Combo and Delta updaters manually, the installer returns this error:
"You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have rebooted, cleared caches, repaired permissions, ran DFA, etc. I removed some items from the Login Items area of my account in the Accounts pref pane. I have removed a launchd User Agent I created with Lingon. Each subsequent attempt check to Software Update says, "no new software" and each attempt to install manually results in the aforementioned error.
On this particular MBP, I have 2 partitions; my primary, large, daily use partition and a smaller, "rescue" partition with a functional OS on it. Running the manual installer allows me to select (and, sucessfully update) the "rescue" partition (which I did do). I booted from the "rescue" partition and, when selecting my primary partition during a manual update via the Combo or Delta installers, get the same error as mentioned earlier. So, booting from an entirely different "drive", I get the same error.
I also downloaded the combo version of the 10.4.6 installer thinking I may have a busted component somewhere preventing the recognition of this laptop as an elligible candidate for 10.4.7. It returns the same, exact error I get trying to manually apply the 10.4.7 Combo/Delta updates.
During my installation attempts, the drive has had upwards of 14GB free. I did apply the MBP 15" firmware update that was released a while back.
The Quicktime 7.1.2 update was recognized as available via Software Update and I installed it with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Core Duo 2.0GHz/2GB

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

Updating Song Attributes for Multiple Users Sharing a Media Folder

I have 2 users on the same iMac, each with their own library but sharing the same media folder. If one user updates song attribute information (example - adding the song year), how does the other user update his library with those attribute changes? I tried to do File-->Add to library which is the way one user adds songs to his library that the other user added, but that didn't work. If I play the song, it updates the information. If I select File-->Get Info for a single song, it updates the information, but if I select multiple songs it does NOT update the information.

Got into the same issue today; I selected all the songs and updated the ratings. That helped to sync with the latest attributes. If you care about your song ratings.. then this might not help you.
