  • Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

    Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

    Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.

  • Why does my IPod not appear in Compter or Device Manager or ITunes using Windows 7?

    My 5th generation IPod does not appear on ITunes.  Likewise, it does not appear in my OS Windows 7 in the folder:  Computer nor does it appear in the window:  Device Manager.  Is this because Windows 7 does not recognize the IPod?  I've had my new computer (1TB, Win. 7, etc) for several months which replaced an older computer with OS Win. XP.  The IPod worked fine on XP and I suspect Win. 7 is the issue here?  Correct?  Windows 7 doesn't recognize several devices and feel like it's planned obsolescence!  What is the alternative here if it's Win 7?  I have no plans/interest to buy a new IPod, btw!

    Hello Gary,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was no longer recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps to assist with getting iTunes to recognize your iPod on a Windows computer:

  • Why does my iPod not prompt me for password but my iPhone does?

    They both have iOS 6.1. All my apps are up to date. Then, after a couple days go by, a new update shows up on both devices. I go to iPod Touch (4) to update and no password is required. Then, minutes later, I go to iPhone (4) to update the same app, and it asks me for my password. How come iPod never asks for my password, but my iPhone always does?
    Note: I do not use iCloud to update all my devices at the same time. I prefer to do update them myself, one at a time. I am just wondering why one device asks me for password while the other does not.
    Thank you for your time!

    If you have the original ipod touch, then you can purchase 3.1:

  • Why does my iPod not recognise my passcode on restrictions passcode page

    The passcode for my iPod is no longer recognised when I try to open the restrictions page in the Settings app. How can one device have 2 passcodes ? Do I have to wipe the device and start again ? How do I know it will not happen again /

    There is the normal Lock Screen passcode and there is a Restrictions passcode. They are each different. We don't know your passcode nor does Apple. If you forget the passcode:
    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    A
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • Why does my ipod not hold the battery charge

    my ipod has to be plugged in to come on and most of the time it wont come on it will just bring on the apple start up logo and then shut back off it keeps repeating this action

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 Why does my iPod not registered as connected to iTunes all of the sudden?

    So I got a new iPod touch (4th generation) for Christmas this year, and have had no trouble thus far syncing my music and other things to it, but recently, when I plug my device into my computer, iTunes does not register that it is plugged in, but my computer does....I have run out of option, and have even restored my iPod completely, hoping that would help, but nothing has worked and now I have lost everything on my iPod alltogether. I have grown frustrated and need assistance with this as soon as possible.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Why does my ipod not show up under my mac devices?

    When I go under devices on the finder list my ipod does not show up. I have restarted my mac and reconnected the ipod to both usb ports and it still doesn't show up . It does however show up under itunes, which doesn't help as I want to manually sync music from ipod to mac? unless there is another way of syncing music to itunes without having my exsisting music in itunes mix with the music on the ipod ?

    That is normal. the iPod does not appear in Finder.
    The only way to sync music is via iTunes.
