iPod Mini: Playlists not downloading

When you plug in your iPod, go to the iPod's music settings (at the top of the iPod screen, assuming you have iTunes 7).

What are the settings? Make sure it is set to Automatically Update All Songs, or set it to Automatically Update only Checked Playlists (then check the correct playlists).

If that doesn't help, Restore the iPod.

Post back with results and I hope this helps!

This was really helpful. The only thing I wasn't doing was clicking the "Apply" button at the bottom of the page! My problem was that new music I had purchased wasn't loading onto my iPod on the new computer that I had bought. It synced with my newly designated "authorized computer" but wiped out all old cd's i had loaded on it myself. All of my purchased music was there though.

So now I just have to put all of my cd's onto the new computer.

Not necessarily.

I updated itunes and restored my ipod when i could not get any new music (either ripped or downloaded from itunes) on my ipod. now i have nothing. none of my music transferred. any ideas?

You could try a data recovery program, but don't get your hopes up. I'm not an expert in that area, so you'll have to find a better source or more info on that.

I hope this helps!

I restored my itunes, and now all my songs on my ipod mini are gone. They are still on my my computer, they just wont download to my ipod.

I can't get any of my newly purchased songs to transfer to my ipod after updrading to itunes 7. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks!

I am having a problem with my iPod mini. My iPod has the capacity to hold up to 6GB of music. However, now, when I try to sync my iPod and update it with new songs I get the prompt "The iPod "Rebecca's iPod" cannot be snyced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library." I don't understand what I can do to make all my songs fit because according to the library, I only have 576 songs which totals to 2.71 GB of memory. Why is this prompt proclaiming that I don't have enough memory?
