Songs in library won't load onto ipod

My ipod shows 4013 songs, but on line I have 8013. I am not very tech sophisticated. Is there any easy way for me to fix this?
thanks!

Would that be everyone who has a 5th Generation iPod?

Or everyone in this thread?

Go to the topic lists and notice the number of green stars.

Find one of the songs in iTunes that is not loading on the iPod, right click on it, then left click Get Info. Copy the information displayed and paste it in a response.

i guess i just dont know how to use the site. I took the ipod back to Best Buy. I purchased a 4 year contract on it and after i get it back from Apple this time, if it screws up they give me a new one...or i will pay the difference and get an 80 gig ipod!

It was very strange that the ipod would selectively not accept some tracks and accept others from the same "album". When i got it back a month ago, from being fixed, when i loaded the 5500+tracks, only 4900+/- tracks ended up in the ipod.

Thanks for your help.

where were the tracks from that didn't load and in what format?

Hi, its pretty easy. From itunes, click on yr devices, which is the name of your ipod. Once you click on it, you will see "options" near the bottom of your screen. There are check boxes which allow the computer to syn automatically with your ipod. 🙂

Just got my ipod back from Best
Buy. Apple replaced the battery. This was in response to my not being able to download SOME tracks and not others. I will see what happens and get back to you. I think the format is MP3, but regardless, up until this time, everything in my Library, in Musicmatch Jukebox, loaded fine.
In the 3.5 years that i have owned the ipod, i have never had this problem. I will definitly get back and let yo know what has happened.

Thanks again

hi guys
I have an iPod Photo (30GB). I recently updated iTunes to the latest version, and now my iPod doesn't show up on iTunes. I did the 5 R's AND redownloaded iTunes, but iTunes still doesn't transfer music into my iPod and my iPod doesn't show up on iTunes. I've had this problem for nearly 2 weeks now. Please help me.

It would have been better to put this in as a new post rather than tagging on to a long post that really is not related to your problem.

If your iPod doesn't show up on iTunes then it isn't going to be able to transfer music. Make sure you are using a rear port on your computer and disconnect anything else from the USB chain other than your keyboard and mouse.

Can Windows see your iPod? Check in Device Manager. Please read and complete the steps in the following: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136

Even if there are not new drivers available, follow the steps to reload your USB drivers.

Oops, sorry. Anyway my computer recognises the iPod. It shows up in "My Computer". Whenever I plug in my iPod, the iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" and remains that way without anything happening. Is there something wrong with the iPod itself?

No, it is set to manually manage music rather than autosync. In your system tray you can select to eject it.

Did you reload your USB drivers as described in the post?

Also, be sure you have the latest versions of iTunes (7.1.1) and Quicktime (7.1.5). If your iPod is viewable in My Computer, right click on it and change the drive letter to M. You might also reformat it (FAT32) but be aware this will erase all your music. After reformatting if iTunes sees it, Restore your iPod.

I Have a U2 Edition Ipod & I Have Tried About Everything That I Have Read Here... Nothing Load My New Songs... Its Only About 20 New Ones And It Says "Do Not Disconnect"... Manually Doin Doesnt Work, I Tried Findin The Troubleshoot Thing And Nothin... The Mp Format Is Fine... I Tried The R's... Everything Is Updated..I Mean Nothing Plz Help!

In Windows reformat your iPod (FAT32) and then do a Restore in iTunes.

I have a similar problem. Most of my songs load onto my iPod Nano but I get a message that "Some of the items in the ITunes library were not copied because they could not be found." It lists 20 songs that I have had for years. Those songs do appear in my library and play on my PC. Some were ripped from my CDs, others purchased from iTunes. Nothing has changed on my PC and I keep the iPod up to date with new software when available. Can anybody help?
