When I sync music to iPod how ca I get it to sync in the order I want the playlist verse the radom rder it keeps putting it in?

When syncing music why will it not sync in the order I want the playlist instead of this random way it puts it on the ipod?

this worked for me on my iphone and ipad
make sure that all your software is up to date
turn phone on airplane mode
uncheck all music
sync
this will erase all music on your phone
recheck music you want from your libary
apply

  • HT1692 My Contacts synced once to my iPod, how do I get them to sync again with updates?

    My Outlook Contacts synced to my iPod once (after finally finding out how to so that). Since then it has never synced with Contacts again. It syncs the music just fine. Some instructions I have read mention an "Info Tab" after selecting the device. I have not seen this info tab. So I can't even get past the second step to sync Contacts to my iPod. I have updated the iTunes application once since that time. The screen view was noticeably different after that. A left sidebar was no longer there. Perhaps some of the necessary things to select for syncing Contacts are now hidden.

    It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong.  They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
    If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in.  To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

  • I lost my sync key when my harddrive was wiped, so how do I get a new sync key without deleting my saved data?

    I synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could reupload them if ever my computer got wiped, so I don't have a second device with the sync key on it. I made the mistake of only saving the sync key on the computer. I just got my computer back from the shop and they wiped my operating system without asking. Now I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my sync account requires that I change the sync key and delete all the data saved on the server. How can I get access to my data?

    Sorry, without your Sync Key your data is worthless, it can't be de-crypted, and creating a new Sync Key will wipe it from the Sync server.
    BTW, the Firefox Sync service isn't meant for "backups", it is meant to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices". Any chance you had more than one device setup with that Sync account? If so, you can use the Sync Key from that device.

  • I want my songs to be in a specific order but they transfered to the ipod in a different order. it looks as if they are in alphabetical order by artist. how can I get them in the order I want?

    Hey ellenkk
    The best way to get the songs in the order that you want is to make a playlist and then sync it over. Once the playlist is set, all you have to do is set to sync playlist in the music tab.

  • I need my apps, and music back. How do I get it

    I need my Apps, and music back. How do I get them back? I backed them up with ICloud and skipped the get your stuff process.. I need help. I can't restore my iPad again.. Or I'll forget my internet password.

    Hello Hunter107
    In order to restore from an iCloud backup it will have to erase what is currently on your iPad and then follow the prompts to restore from that back up. In erasing you will be asked for your routers password to access the internet and then downloading your backup. Once that back is back on, you should not have to enter it again.

  • When syncing my ipod, how do I get it to look at external drives for music stored them?  It just tells me it can't find something and gives me no option to tell it where it is located.

    Hi SouthMountainSound,
    It sounds like the tracks may be missing from your iTunes library. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If it cannot be located, this may cause the issue of not being copied to your iPod. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

    I read your entire message, and my mom's iPhone 5 does this exact same thing. When the idiot at the AT&T store transferred her data (well, most of it) to her new phone, he DID NOT use her latest iCloud backup like he should have, but used some features in "Bump" to move things across. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the hassle of restoring it as a new device as Tim suggests. That's just the easy answer. Here's something odd about hers. It seems to do this, when she's using her bluetooth earpiece (a Jawbone Icon), but not when she's got bluetooth disabled on the iPhone 5 and holding down the "Home" button to activate Siri. If she uses her Jawbone bluetooth earpiece to activate Siri, the answer that Siri presents on the phone's screen will only stay on for about five seconds, then dim, then go blank -- and she has to "swipe to unlock" and, of course, the Siri information is gone. Not so if she uses the Home key to activate Siri.

  • Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
    For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
