When my ipod is hooked up it shows as having the same songs as my library..

i hook up my ipod to my computer and the itunes reads it, and itunes shows me that my ipod and itunes have the same amount of songs, and the same exact songs, which is what i want, but when i unplug my ipod, which i unplug properly, many of my songs are missing. I cant figure out whats wrong.

my ipod while connected to my computer with itunes on, looking into the ipod part of itunes, it shows that i have all the songs that i want, which is all of the songs in my itunes library, but when the ipod is disconnected, some of my songs are missing from my ipod. i dont understand, in itunes they are shown as being on my ipod, but when unplugged i cant find them anywhere.

When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on. While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below). Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

My ipod always cuts off the end of some of my songs when theyre clearly not done... Anyone having the same problem?

My ipod is a 2nd gen ipod touch and i will go to listen a song and my ipod will cut it off when the song isnt done, like right inn the middle of it and just change to the next song. So frustrating anyway to fix it?

mine was doing the same thing at first so I had to convert all my mp3's to ACC files using itunes. I read in the faq that itunes will sometimes not play a file properly if you did not use iTunes to encode it. it's a real pain in the *** but try to convert to ACC and it should solve the problem.

Can you have two separate iPods on iTunes without having the same songs?

My husband and I both have iPods but we don't want to same music on them. Really we would like to have two separate iTunes, so that I don't get his music and he doesn't get mine. Is that possible or do we just have to manually sync them?

My Ipod is playing the same songs all the time!! How do I fix this?

I have a 80gb Ipod classic. In Itunes I set the smart shuffle in Preferences to "less likely". I can't find a similar setting on my Ipod. Every time I play any Playlists on the Ipod using shuffle I always hear some of the same songs. Some playlists have thousands of songs and yet I seem to always hear the same ones. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

You can avoid repeating songs by setting up a playlist in iTunes and have iTunes shuffle that list, or you can create a playlist manually and set up the order. (The latter isn't the fun way to do so.) When you play that playlist on the iPod, turn the shuffle off and just play the list. As long as the playlist isn't lost, there won't be any repeats. This is the best way I can think of, because I have the same desire. (Remember, the list can be lost when you connect the iPod to the computer or even manually resetting it.)
I have about 7,000 songs on mine, and it still repeats and even overplays songs. It's irritating, but I just manually skip those songs.

I am trying to download an app for my ipod touch, but its not showing up in the app store. Its the icess app for controlling a bluetooth helicopter

I recently got my daughter an iCess RC helicopter. It works via bluetooth and can be used with Apple and Android devices. She has a ipod touch, but when trying to do a search for "iCess" in the app store, nothing comes up. It shows up on my PC in the itunes store, but how do I get it on the ipod touch or its apps store?
Also having the same problem when trying to locate the app with my iPad and its app store. I got it installed on one of my android devices via the Google Play store so I know its there & works. Any ideas or suggestion on what is going on here with the iPod and iPad app stores?

The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.

When i listened my music on my ipod nano 4th, It's sound like a used LPwith the distortion. I check my earphone and it's not the problem. I reset my ipod and it's still having the same problem. Does anybobody having a solution ?

From my limited knowledge the iPod Nano has no support for iCloud or wireless transfers- therefore the only means of downloading songs is by hooking it up to the computer by the white cable.

How to fix: Music corrupts when transferred to ipod. This happens with the same songs on multiple ipods and the song plays regularly in itunes...

Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hello there klundie,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
All the best,
Sterling

I have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song. How do I fix this problem?

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?
By the way, this is the iPod Shuffle forum. Since you have an iPod Touch, you should have posted this in the iPod Touch forum.

I downloaded Magzter app button iPad 2 but when I buy magazines it is not getting downloaded but the same is getting downloaded in my iPod. Pl help. Magzter support is unable to help.

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

Good to hear you found the solution.

How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music. Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon. It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.

Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

what is your question/issue here? did the folder have any content in it to begin with? screen shots of what you may be seeing?
if english isn't your native language, write it in what you are most comfortable speaking in to describe your issue.

When my ipod is hooked up it shows as having the same songs as my library..
