Updating Track Info on iPod 160 When Manual Syncing

So I bought the 160 model this past weekend. Come to read there are so many issues with it but I'm gonna try to stick it out for an update.
Anyway, question regarding manual syncing. I have over 3000 tracks on iTunes that I am going thru, cataloging and changing their names. Digitizing all my vinyl. A lot easier to walk into a party and DJ with 2 folder size cd wallets instead of the usual 10 crates of records. Anyway, I want to know, if I am managing my music manually on my iPod, if I change the name of a track on iTunes, do I have to add it again to my ipod and delete the original version or will it recognize the change somehow and update the existing track?

if you have "manually manage my ipod" option checked, everytime you change anything to your tracks in itunes library, you have to drag and drop them back on your ipod, it will not update ipod cos you have it manually set ... it will also keep the original track on your ipod and create a new duplicate one .... what i do is go thru each track make all the changes i need and then clean my ipod totally then transfer back the tracks in library back on ipod.

  • How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • TS4062 When manually syncing music from my mac to my iPod touch, when I delete tunes from my manual list and hit apply, these songs remain on my iPod?

    When manually syncing music from my Mac to my ipod, if I delete from my list and hit apply, the songs are remaining on my ipod? It just started doing this.

    You need to select the songs on the iPod (in iTunes) and hit Delete.
    Since you are Manually managing, Apply doesn't do anything to Music on the iPod.

    Something has changed on my iPod. When I sync it now it scrambles music between playlists. So, I will be listening to my jazz playlist when suddenly holiday music from another playlist is there. When I go to iTunes, however, the playlist is as it should be--jazz in the jazz playlist, holiday music in the holiday music playlist. I have two iPods--one is syncing properly while the older one is not. Any thoughts?

    You are currently managing your music manually. You can either sync or manage the music manually, not both. If you want to sync, all the music currently on your phone will be erased and replaced with whatever you decide to sync to it.

  • Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
    Thanks

  • I've downloaded an audiobook from my local public library and have already listened to it.  It still shows up on my IPod, but when I sync with iTunes, I can't find it our delete it.  Please advise?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Problem with ipod nano when i sync my contacts and calendr

    I have two problem with my ipod nano when i sync my contacts and calendars.
    For the calendars I use the thunderbird Mozilla calendar (that I export in .vcs) but the problem is that the appointment appear in my ipod with a different time: 18:00 on Mozilla become 16:00 in Ipod... Note that both (ipod and Mozilla Calendar) are configured with time zone in Paris.
    For the Contact I have all in Thunderbird contact. The problem is that his software can't export the contact in vcard format (only in csv). Do you know a free software to convert my contact from Thunderbird to vcard format ?
    Thanks in advance.

    On the phone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the account you want and scroll down to the settings for Contacts.  You can change display and sort order there.

  • IPod not updating track info

    My third generation iPod isn't updating my track info (ie if I play a track on my ipod, the play count and last played doesn't get updated- on the ipod itself or when i synch with my mac.) Any ideas?

    Thanks so much for the response!
    Yes, I'm sure it's on auto update.
    As for where I am checking that the ipod isn't updating..well, the recently played smartplaylist isn't updating when viewed on the ipod (it does change when synched with itunes, but never displays any songs played on the ipod). Also, if I'm correct when i plug my ipod into the computer and look in the ipod library I should see that any track played on my ipod reflects that it was changed then. It simply doesn't.

  • Sync Play count between iPod & iTunes when manually update selected

    Hello,
    I use manual updating on iTunes simply because I have so much music, it wont fit onto my iPod, so I manually select the songs I want on.
    I have been reading and find that doing this stops the iPod and iTunes from updating the Play count and Last played. Doesnt this sound a bit daft?
    People have played suggestions such as creating certain playlists that are automatically synced with the iPod, but my songs are all in playlists.
    Is there any addon or way that you can get the iPod and iTunes to automatically sync that part so it updates? Without turning on automatic syncing?
    Thanks

    Playcounts only sync if you are syncing. They don't if you're manually managing your music. Sorry.

  • Updating song info from iPod to iTunes Library

    I've got an iPod Video 60GB. I manually control the content on my iPod and iTunes. I listen to my iPod at work all the time and rarely listen to music on my computer. How do I get iTunes to update my Library with the play count, song rating, and last played data from my iPod?

    To move your library see this migrate iTunes library post.
    If it is only the media on the external drive see Make a split library portable.
    You should make your edits in iTunes, and backup the library against problems.
    Automatic syncing is generally easier, but if you edit in iTunes and then drag & drop updated files to the device, the updated files should replace the originals. Dragging songs the other way is not supported.
    If you want to try extracting the updated tracks from your device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Updating track info  in itunes using applescript

    Hi Ive created a playlist of tracks that have been edited outside of iTunes, but the changes are not shown in iTunes until I select getInfo for the file using iTunes. I need to tell itunes to update the info for each track in the playlist, I tried using the command update and it doesnt give an error , but doesnt seem to do anything either - I cant find a suitable command in the itunes dictionary.
    tell application "iTunes"
    set new_playlist to (make user playlist with properties {name:"Files Updated:1/8/08 9:36 PM"})
    add (file "Macintosh HD:Users:paul:track7.mp3") to new_playlist
    add (file "Macintosh HD:Users:paul:track8.mp3") to new_playlist
    repeat with nexttrack in new_playlist
    update nexttrack
    end repeat end tell
    thanks Paul

    The command required is refresh not update

  • HT1535 When manually syncing, iPhone gets stuck on "preparing to update files"

      When attempting to add songs via manual sync, ITunes indicates "preparing to update files" and becomes stuck on this.

    Somebody on twitter mentioned temporarily turning off their passcode before syncing and that seemed to help.

  • Why cant i get any songs to go on my ipod touch when I sync it?

    I have synced my ipod several times in the past. It is only 5 months old. I have owned several ipod and an ipad in the past and never had this problem before. I synced it tonight to add a few songs. I have "sync only checked songs" clicked. I finished to sync and checked the ipod and there were many songs missing. I tried a few more times and still could not get all of the songs on there. I then tried restoring the ipod. I synced it after the restore and there were no songs, videos, apps, or anything on the ipod. I have since restored and synced it several times with no success. There is NOTHING on the ipod. It shows it syncing, it shows ech song going on there and each video and when the sync completes, there is nothing on hte ipod. I have used all 4 usb ports and 3 different cables just incase it was a problem with one of those. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone else had this problem? oh, and this happened right after I updated to 4.3.3

    I have exactly the same problem and am extremely frustrated.  I have reset it, restored it rebooted the computer and stil nothing at all.  This is a very recent problem as I have synced it only a few weeks ago with no problem.

Is it possible to se a "screen dump" of the dialog box? My e-mail adress iss [email protected] Thanks! Best regards Magne
