I have some problems with sync. my Ipod classic 3the generation since I have updated Itunes (Itunes 10).
I have several play lists for my musics. I sorted them in genres.
for example a list for Rap, a list for R&B,...
And I have one list called "Mix", there I choose songs from my different genres and put them there.
But lately Itunes doesn't sync. all the songs from that list (=Mix).
If I have there 100 songs, it only sync. 64 or something.
And all the songs in my other play list aren't there either (= in my Ipod) 😟 .
I hope that someone can help me 🙂
Thanks in advance.
yes, I went thrue all the possible mistakes and surched on different sites.
But still the same problem. I even deleted all my play lists and started new ones.
Even deleted Itunes and installed again but no results 😟
If you want the ipod to have the same playlist order the songs have in itunes, right-click on that playlist and choose "Copy to Play Order". That always works for me.
I don't know why they're not copying, though.
How about the "Convert to 128 kbps option" - is that turned on? Maybe that would force the songs to get copied over. OR give some kind of error message.
If there
anything at all in common with the songs that won't copy?
had the same prob, fixed it:
you will need to find somthing comin with the songs that dont sync.
go to itunes, go to the list of songs in you music libraby. now on the top where it sais name/time/artist... right click it and you will have alot of more opptions. look for the one called : kind.
sort them by kind, and you should see that not all the songs are the same kind. if you have the same problum i had, well just hilight all the songs that dont sync, right click them and select: create mp3 version.
First of all, thanks for trying to help me, kind of you.
I have done what you said but they are all of the same kind, "MPEG audio file"
I have reduced the amount of my songs in the play list "Mix" to 36 songs but in my Ipod I have 35.
I found that one song and there is nothing wrong with it, but I do have the song in my other play list "R&B" and it works perfectly.
And if I increase the amount of my songs in my "Mix" list, I get more songs that it doesn't sync. .
On my PC I would probably rename the Mix playlist to something like "My Mix" and see if it behaved. Just in case ituens has some weird thing about "Mix" being a reserved word in its program.
And if
that didn't work, I'd rebuild it, then see if it syncs.
Good afternnon from rainy Livingston in Scotland people.
I seem to have a similar problem to L Anderson from Belgium.
Two months ago I had to re-format the hard drive on my laptop as there seemed to be a lot of problems. I re-loaded all the software for my laptop, and then downloaded iTunes version 10. I now find that my iPhone (3GS) cannot synch all my music and audiobooks from my phone to iTunes. All iTunes seems to synch is the items that were bought from the iTunes store and the iTunes apps. All the other music that I copied from CD's does not synch: also, I spent a sum of money upgrading my songs from the iTunes store and again, iTunes does not synch them to my iPhone. Also, when I click on Devices in iTunes, my iPhone is recognized, but I cannot see my music or audiobooks.
@ Katrina S.: Yes I have done both of them but still no result 😟
@ Mike Alden & Livi Supporter: I know its weird what I am going to say now but I am happy that you guys have this problem too,
'cus now I know that I am not the only one 🙂
(it gives hope :p)
Hello all.
I'm actually having the same issue. And it drives me nuts!
My System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, 2 GB Ram, Several internal and USB2 external disks.
iTunes info: ver. 10.1.0.54 / 23170 songs in my library / 16504 songs within the 105 playlists I have (and which I usually sync with the ipod)
iPod: Classic 120GB (the first 120 GB version that was released)
I came to realize the existence of the problem recently, when I expanded the playlists within the iPod, and of course when sometime I got to see that some playlists on the ipod had fewer songs than the ones on iTunes.
I tried several things, and before everything else I tried with a different iPod, thinking that my iPod 120GB classic was to blame.
Still my efforts with my iPhone and another 160BG ipod classic reproduced the same or similar results... So after that I concluded that the problems lies at the iTunes app. Here is a list of what I have tried so far, with no clear result and most definitely with no resolution:
- Made sure I have the latest iTunes app.
- Tried other devices, like my iPhone and a second iPod Classic
- For a minute I was thinking that maybe one of my Hard disks were to blame... but in the long term I realized that it has nothing to do with the HDD that the songs not transferring were stored into.
- Tried new cables
- Uninstalled iTunes and in installed it again while keeping my library intact
- Removed everything regarding Apple from my PC + deleting the whole library. Then installed a fresh copy of iTunes and imported the backup of my library. I then realized that my library .xml file backup was missing several dozens of songs! I was lucky I had also kept a .txt backup for each of my playlists!
- So I deleted again my library and I imported every single playlist from the .txt files, one at a time.
- I then tried to see if the issue had anything to do with my P55 Intel mainboard chip. As some of you may know, a few months back it was reported that the Intel P55 mainboard chips had sync issues with Windows 7 (mostly 64 bit). Actually the issues reported said that iTunes would not sync at all... In my case, iTunes trasfers the songs to my iPod, but not all of them...
So I made sure that I had the latest Bios for my mainboard, I also enabled C State at my Bios. Same results...
Some really important notes:
There are songs that sometimes will sync to my iPod and other times they won't ! Strange, huh ?
All my songs are MP3s with the exceptions of a few that are .wav. These few that are .wav never had a problem syncing nor the do now. The problematic songs are some of the .mp3 type.
A lot of the songs in my library (playlists, etc) are VBR mp3s. Some of the songs that are not transfered to my iPod are VBR. Still, this is not a helpful conclusion because other VBR songs sync with no problem at all.
I also saw that some of the songs that cannot be transfered seem to have a specific issue: when I right click on them, on iTunes, the GET INFO panel is grayed out, so I cannot edit it !!! I'm also not able to do other things like "convert ID3 tags", etc. When I try to do this, I get the message: "Could not convert ID3 tags. The song may be write-protected or of the wrong type"
So, I go to my HDD onto the folder I have this song, and I right click on it (on windows explorer) to see the permissions and the attributes. The songs are NOT read-only... and the permissions are exactly the same as of the songs that have no problems being synced by iTunes....
However, what I did for these songs, was that I right clicked on them and chose: "Create MP3 version". So I exchanged the old problematic (for iTunes) version with the new versions (made by iTunes) and the problem seems to be fixed. Now the songs are editable in iTunes and of course they CAN be synced properly to the iPod.
And most important: There are also other songs (that can't be synced) that do not have the above mentioned issues. So I can edit their INFO on iTunes, I can convert the ID3 tags, they are of the proper kind / type (mp3) but they still cannot be synced to my iPod... And this is what bugs me.
Hypothetically, the above mentioned solution (apply "create MP3 version" via iTunes) to all the problematic songs would probably resolve the "won't sync" issue, but as you understand in a library of so many thousands of songs, it is not the most efficient....
This is what I have tried so far.
For me it seems that iTunes has several issues that have to be resolved.
I have a huge library of songs and for years now I have organized it with iTunes.
I listen to my iPod on daily basis and Apple has to provide a solution about this matter. Going through every single song (that won't sync) and creating an "iTunes-preferred" MP3 version of it... (although they already are Mp3s) is not an efficient solution for huge libraries as the one I have.
I myself have not had and I don't know if I'll ever have in the future the time to do this... for each song
