Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't?

Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't? This is unusual - I wonder if the iPod is working correctly but some setting is wrong. Thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and check that your settings are "Sync Music - All songs and playlists" and not "Sync Music - Selected playlists"

  • I can't sync my Itunes playlists to my Ipod.  Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?    It is the 7th generation Ipod

    I am trying to sync my Itunes playlists to my Ipod 7th generation.  With my older Ipods all I had to do was hook the Ipod up to the computer and it would sync the playlists.  I now have Windows 8 on the computer.  Does that make a difference in how Itunes works?

    You would have to read the directions for your phone to learn how to put music on it.
    Itunes syncs with Apple products.

    So where do you do when apps just seem to stop working, particularly when you paid for an app.  I have now had then happen twice and there seems to be very little customer care from Apple when this occurs.  Just a note to let customers know that an app will no longer work or who to contact would be great. Thanks, Kevin

    That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

    When I hook my ipod up to my mac I used to get the Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted error message. It would then sync all my song to the ipod but when I ejected it, none of the songs would be on the ipod. Now I hook it up and I get the Mac OS X can't repair the disk error message. Then the spinning colored pinwheel pops up and I can't use iTunes. Please HELP!!!!!!

    Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

    How do you know it will not let you?  Are you getting an error message?  What is the error message? 

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.

  • Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

    Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
    I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

    Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
    Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
    You don't like it.
    You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
    Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
    For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
    For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
    For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
    As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
    I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
    (They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

  • How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

    How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • Why can't I click on playlists with the mouse.

    I had asked iTunes to check for song titles. It said that it couldn't find the titles. After freezing and forcing me to restart the program. When iTunes restarted it wouldn't allow me to click on playlists. The only way I could change playlists was by using my arrows. It's still makinig me do that. Why is it doing this?

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • How can I sync over itunes and at the same time sync over icloud?

    Hello,
    I just recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and now run into the following challenge. With the "old" iTunes I was able to sync my Outlook calendar from my company computer over iTunes with my iPhone and my iPad. At the same time I was able to sync my private appointments on my iPhone over iCloud with my iPad. That way my appointments from my company computer appeared in a different color on my mobile devices as my private appointments and everything was fine.
    Now, after updating iTunes, I cannot sync my Outlook calendar from my company computer anymore - iTunes is just telling me I choose to sync my calendar over iCloud and leaves me no option anymore to sync "manually" in addition to the iCloud with iTunes.
    How can I solve the issue? Basically, how can I sync my company appointments with my iPhone without using iCloud on my company computer?

    Hi,
    I have the same issue and I can tell that it really *****. Now I have to manually copy cal items to my icloud calendar to have the business cal items on my iphone.  have looked into codetwo for icloud which is nice for notes, tasks and contacts but it only works for business cal items which I myself have created not for items for which I was invited. Contacted their support but I think it won't help.
    If you have any suggestions how to overcome this problem, I'd be glad if you posted your solution.
    Thx in advance
    iphone 5, iOS 6.0.1, icloud for windows 2.1, windows 7 64bit
