iTunes sync to iPod Classic got hosed somehow


Recommended Posts

First, there is no 16 GB iPod classic. Do you mean iPod touch? 

 

As the above reply says, sometimes the iPod's database gets messed up. The easiest thing to do is restore the iPod and re-sync. You could try just turning off music syncing, syncing the iPod, then turning it back on, but I've found over the years that it's best to fully restore the device to create a new internal database. 

 

Of course, back it up first in iTunes...

What I used to do when syncing iPods was create a handful of playlists; not to play in order, but to hold what I wanted to put on my devices. So I had, say, a basic collection of jazz, another of rock, another of classical, etc. That way I didn't have to individually choose artists and albums.
