Why are only some of my songs showing up on my ipod?

My itunes says that I have 3264 songs on my Ipod but when i unplug it my ipod is only showing that I have 457 songs. I have tried resyncing my ipod but that doesn;t seem to do anything. I don't have my autofill settings on choose songs randomly so I don't know what is going on? it is also really random about which songs it has and which ones it doesn't so it is not like some albums are appearing and others are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello samanthaflora
If you see a cloud option, then you have the option of Show All Music turned on. If you go to Settings > Music and look for that option, you can turn it off to not show any of your purchased history to show up in the Music App. Try that and then sync the music again to see if it still shows up as double.  If it is, then could you take a screen shot and add it to the reply so that way we can see what you are describing to better assist you.

    Why on earth does it do this? Why not just give access to all the fields?
    Aperture is so great at letting me attach metadata to my images, but it seems so limited in allowing you to get it back...

  • Why did only some of my photos show u on my photo stream ever since I had to restore it?

    I had to go to apple to fix something on my iPad today. They had to restore my iPad. I finally got back home so I can start redownloading apps and stuff, but on my photo stream only a small portion of my pictures showed up and no more are loading. Why are my pictures showing up!!!!

    If you load your last backup after restoring then everything comes back (as long as the photos are still part of your Photo Stream).  I happened to restore my iPhone 5 last night to clear up Other and everything in Photo Stream and all my streamed albums came back just as they were before restoring.
    Now, if you're referring to not loading a backup after restoring, then you will lose Camera Roll and possibly streamed albums, but I'm pretty sure that your main Photo Stream will always come back if you sign back into your iCloud account (perhaps not though ... and maybe this is what you're referring to?)

  • Why won't some of my songs show up on playlists?

    I recently decided to reorganize my playlists. I put as many songs as I wanted in the playlists on iTunes, but when I synced my iPod, only about a third of the songs show up in the playlists on my iPod. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!

    Hi James -- I really have not used the @me.com, nor the @icloud.com (those were set up for me by Apple). The ones that go to my HP are the gmail.com and the aol.com ones. Interesting that, when my HP is shut down, THEN the emails come to my iPad3 and iPhone5. Maybe I need to take everything into Apple and have them look at my settings?

  • IOS6: Why are only 5 tones out of 9 syncing to my iPod Touch

    - Do the unsyncing ones play in iTunes on the computer?
    - Did the unsyncing ones come from the same source ans the syncing ones?

  • Why do only some of my photos show up in apps like instagram

    When I try to post a picture on instagram and some other apps, its says I have about 100 photos in the "all photos" folder, when really I have 2 thousand. The pictures that are showing up are about half my most recent photos, then a lot of totally random pictures from the past. Does this have something to do with the camera roll? In instagram when i look at all the folders available, there's only a few and there are less photos in them. Why can't i access all of them?! It was fine about a week ago. I don't know what changed.

    Hi. This sounds like a refresh issue. Can you try the following. Navigate within PS Touch one level up to the "Local Photos" - see attached scrrenshot. After that try to access your photos form the Camera Roll again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why is only some of my music showing?

    Okay, so I think I have cloud, but I did not pay for anything so I am not sure. Anyways, a while back I downloaded everything I ever bought, and had it all on here. Now, only four or five albums are showing, and I have bought like atleast 300 songs in the past, and tons of videos and apps, and none of it is showing. I click Check for Available Downloads and it says all have been downloaded for this apple ID. How can I recover all my music!?

    Hey livelaughlove23,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like iTunes in the Cloud purchases have either been hidden, or you are no longer signed into your Apple ID on the computer. You can check the iTunes Store preferences:

    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.

  • HT201365 Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

    Why are only 3 of my devices  appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

    I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple.  To quote:  "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
    Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]"  (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.")  However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID."  Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords.  Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible.  I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
    So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round.  From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone 5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check marks for each of the songs that were not successfully synced.

    Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check mark in iTunes for the songs that are not properly syncing.

    I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
    I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
    Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?

  • Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

    Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

    Hello Karelyn,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

    Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
    I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?

    Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

  • After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
    Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
    After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
    After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
    Perfection!
