Want music on iPhone but not iPod.

I have more music in my iTunes library than I have room for.  As a result, I had to uncheck some stuff.  I'd like to put that stuff on my iPhone but not the iPod. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks for any help.

One way to do this is to use Smart Playlists. These playlists can be built using pretty much any criteria you want, but here's an example:
I use this Smart Playlist to keep the music on my iPhone rotating and fresh. When I plug in the iPhone to power every night is syncs with iTunes, updates the play counts then syncs the new music to the playlist.
So when you sync your iPhone sync just your Smart Playlist, not your entire library.

    That is correct. If it is an iPod Classic 5th generation it doesn't connect to the Internet it can't download anything.

  • Purchased music with iphone but not seeing on my macbook

    I purchased a song from iTunes with my iPhone 4 ( Verizon - 4.2.8) but it is not showing up on my MacBookPro. Is it because the iCloud Beta is not active with the Verizon iPhone?!!

    I have  the same issue with a Verizon iPhone 4s. bought a song with it a couple of days ago. Still hasn't shown up on my Macbook Pro running Lion. Automatic downloads is turned on on both devices. I notice that in iTunes on the Mac, under "Stroe" on the left side, my iPad, my wife's iPad and my Apple TV are listed, but the iPhone is not.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's possible that Find my phone is using the cellular network to locate your phone and the wifi network they are both using is unregistered.

  • Itunes recongnizes iphone but not ipod nano 5g

    Running windows xp with avast! security and the newest version of itunes.
    Have tried reinstalling itunes many times, as well as the other tutorials. 
    The message I get is "The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please re-install Itunes to install the required software"
    I just re-installed following the directions to completely remove Itunes and it components, just to get the same message.  My computer does recognize the ipod, even by name.  When running diagnostics, it says that itunes helper is not running, and not device is connected.
    My Iphone is reconized by Itunes, no problem at all.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    maybe the diagnostics will help:

  • Why has battery percentage been enabled for iPad and iPhone, but not iPod Touch?

    iPhones have had the option to enable the battery percentage reading in the top right corner of the screen since they came out, and iPads later got that ability.  Yet throughout their times, updates, and models, iPod Touch users never have had that option.  And that tiny battery icon can be deceiving.  That icon on my iPod Touch 5G looks like I have 50% left, yet I plug it in, and suddenly, its charging just with a red end, meaning 20% or less remaining.  Apple... PLEASE give iPod Touches the option to torn that percentage on at the top right corner of the screen, even if it's only to the nearest 5 percent, although one app I have tells me exact battery percentage, so iPods have that capability, just please put it in the settings!  I like the convenience of that reading at the top, rather than opening an app every time I need a battery reading!  PLEASE Apple, it's time to let us get the percent!  Also, adding a built-in FM Radio receiving antenna for on-the-go FM Radio support wouldn't be a bad idea in the next generation if iPod Touch!

    It can be added but it is inaccurate. Large fluctuation in % battery will be seen with load changes.

  • Music in library but not ipod

    Greetings,
    It seems that my library has songs but they do not show up as albums or artists in my Ipod but they will show up as songs in the Ipod. Is this normal?

    It's likely that the songs/albums in question are marked as Compilations. Highlight each track, go to Get Info, then uncheck the "Part of a compilation" field on the Info tab. If you have complete albums, you can highlight all of the tracks, right click and go to Get Info, go to the Options tab, and set the Part of a compilation field to No.
    The song and album info is downloaded from a central database (Gracenote CDDB); sometimes their information is incorrect.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her owniPod

    I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account .   What's the best way to go?

    You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.

    Are you properly selecting the content to sync in iTunes? I mean you have all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc. checked to sync and all of the content as well?
    Is the iPad signed into the same iTunes account as your PC? You are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account on both devices. On the iPad go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - is that the same ID that your iTunes library is using?
    Lastly, did you ever transfer the purchases from your iPad to the PC? Is all of the content that you have on the iPad in your iTunes library?
    I can't think of any other reasons why the iTunes on the PC as seeing this as a new iPad.

  • If my  ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

    if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

    All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account.  I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
    *I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding.  You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum.  Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

    How to i transfer playlists from my iPhone to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

    iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone.  It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
    Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs.  There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99.  http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
