Cannot sync the new songs from IPod after transfer library external HD

A few days ago, I consolidated my library on my external HD to clear a space on my PC (Surface Pro 3). Then, yesterday, I downloaded a new album and even though my iPod shows on ITunes it has not added the new album.

Music sync is unchecked, but I don't want to lose what is now on my IPod to Sync music. I tried to do the thing "Choose library", but when I click on the ITunes Media folder on my external hard drive it opens just the folder. It won't let me set it as my library.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Sound like you may not be having the media on external rather than the entire library. If so the shift Start iTunes, use the option create and make a new iTunes library called iTunes at the root of the drive, move your media folder in the iTunes folder and then add content to the library. See make a library of portable split for some information on the Organization of the library.

  • iTunes sorts only the new songs from the album artist; Cannot select multiple artists

    I had this problem for awhile now.  Whenever I have add a new song to my library, it will sort as a new artist, even if I already have this artist.  For example, I'll add a new Bayside song to my library, and despite the fact that I already have two albums of Bayside, the new song will sort itself separately from him, leaving me with two Baysides.  The only way to fix it is to add the album artist in both the novel and the stuff I already had.  It's incredibly frustrating, especially since iTunes allow me to select several artists both in the artist's view (although I can select several songs and albums - this seems to be a problem only when the view is the sidebar, as in the views of artist, Genre and composer).

    Help with fixing a problem (preferably both, although) it would be appreciated.

    I am currently using iTunes 12.3.2.

    It's a response of turingtest2 to a very similar to your question.  Maybe this will help.

    12 iTunes keeps having the same artist twice in the artist column

    Using the view songs grab all the tracks by an artist of the album given that you are having problems with and then read the information. Tab sort add set Album artist & artist album, X, click OK, and then return to . If you synchronize your content on a non - iOS such as classical iPod device, then you must also make sure artist is constant in the whole album. I propose generally invited and artists featured in the names of individual songs.

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

  • How can I remove the double song from my iPhone titles?

    How can I remove the double song from my iPhone titles?

    Hello josephever,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    To remove the music from your iPhone, you will need to follow the steps below:

    Remove music

    Remove tracks, albums or playlists in the music app delete all music in the settings.

    Remove the application, music, playlists, albums or songs

    1. Find the song, album, or playlist you want to delete.
    2. Tap the Options icon plus on the right side of the screen.
    3. Press DELETE.
    4. When you are prompted, press Delete [purchased or Playlist] to confirm.

    Delete all the music on your device

    1. Go to settings > general > storage and use iCloud > storage management.
    2. Tap music.
    3. Under the music, by sweeping left on all the songs.
    4. Press DELETE.

    If you delete a purchase that you have not saved on your device, the purchase will also hide your purchase history.

    If you are a member of music from Apple or iTunes subscription game, you might see 'Remove my music' instead of delete. Remove the music from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch also removes it from your music library to iCloud. If you delete music on a single device, it also deletes other devices. Learn how delete your music to iCloud library media.

    On an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, if you do not have the music available offline, it is cached by using the available space on the device. The device will delete cache and caching of music, as space is needed by the device.

    Basically if you have an older version of the browser (before May 2011) and try to upgrade to a newer version you must uninstall the old version and install the new version from scratch. The problem is related to a change in the required certificate to sign the application AIR (from Adobe) that has two incompatible versions.

    If you do not have the installed browser and/or have a version reasonably new post please the navigator version and possibly a screenshot of your error. "Gives Me the error" isn't really very useful
