Itunes store songs not automatically transfered to ipod

Does anyone know why my 5th generation ipod does not automatically transfer songs purchased in itunes to the ipod?

make sure your computer is authorized to play the music.
Click on advanced at the top of itunes and choose authorize computer.
Then sync your ipod again.

  • Songs that I recently added to my iTunes (not purchased from iTunes store) will not sync with my iPod touch 4th generation. How can I fix this?

    I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music.  I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
    Setup via wifi?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Items that I brought from the itunes store will not sync to my ipod, and I can't download them on my ipod.  What do I do?

    I used to be able to download the items from the itunes store on my ipod, but that isn't an option anymore. I'm not sure how to get the items on my ipod.

    Because you can set Restrictions on age/content and one song might be age restricted.
    What happens when you try to redownload directly to the iPod by
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Albums in iTunes Store but not matching

    Hi,
    I stumped up my £21.99 last night and sent iTunes Match off to do it's thing. I'm on pretty crummy ADSL connection so the resulting upload (some 5,000 'items' from an iTunes library of 6,500 songs!) will no doubt take a while.
    Howevre, I've noticed a HUGE amount of songs for which there is no iCloud/iTunes Match icon. My Library does contain the odd obscurity, but really not that many - and if a track is obscure/incompatible wiht Match then there would be an icon there, albeit the cloud with the line through it (which incidently is often toitally unjustified... AAC file created on a Mac above the min kbs, but that's another thread).
    I've done a bit of chekcing an most of he songs/albums that have no iTunes Match/iCloud icon are songs and albulms that are available in the iTunes Store. Most of them I've ripped myslef from purchased CDs (above the min kbs). I thought the idea of Match was that it would recognise songs it (iTunes) sells and will match them?
    At the moment far too many of my songs are simply being ignored by the Matching process. There's also many instances where there might be one song on an album that has no icon, and simialrly there are some albums where all except one song has an icon.
    Thought/ideas/tips?
    Thanks

    Firstly, you need to turn on the iTunes Status column in the iTunes browser. That will tell you how the song is actually being identified. Pull down View > View Options, select "icloud status" and click the OK button. Once a song is successfully processed it will have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded." Which leads me to...
    Secondly, once a track in your iTunes library is successfully processed it will not have a cloud icon in the "iCloud Download" column. There will only be something in that column if the song has not yet been processed by iTM (it is "waiting), there is some sort of error, or the original track has been deleted from the library and it is availble for download from the cloud.
    Thirdly, just because a song is available in the iTunes store does not automatically mean it will be "matched." There have been a lot of discussions about this on the forum. Please do a search and you'll be able to read them.

  • Movie in iTunes Store but not Apple TV Store

    I really wanted to watch Where the Trail Ends on my new Apple TV unfortunately it was not listed however on my iMac iTunes Store it was there. I purchased it and watched it ony my iMac, the Apple TV now creates Genius recommendations on this movie but it still does not have it listed, what can I do? I obviously use the same credentials for both iTunes and Apple TV.
    Also, any reason why I can't watch the movies I bought on my iMac on my Apple TV? I am going through the Swiss store.
    Thanks for any help!

  • I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

    never mind.  i think it just makes you review the information -- it looks like you have to click through everything.

  • Why is the payment for e.g. a song in the itunes store proceeding not at once but after indefinite time?

    Why is the payment for e.g. a song in the itunes store proceeding not at once but after indefinite time?

    If you are using your account's balance then the price of the song should be deducted from it immediately, if you are using a credit card then it may take a day or two for it to appear on your card's statement

  • The itunes store will not load.  There are no errors, it just loads halfway, stops.  My intethen rnet is working fine.  I can't download any new songs.

    My itunes store will not load.  There are no error messages.  It loads half way, then stops.  My internet is working fine.  I can't download any songs.

    There are at least 20 threads pertaining to this problem (some from last year, one I saw was from 2006). I suggest anyone who visits this thread redirect to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3223139?start=0&tstart=0. It has the two most popular solutions and anyone with ongoing issues can discuss and/or form an unruly mob there.

  • Is requesting songs on itunes store really helpful? is the itunes team serious about adding music that is already available in different itunes stores but not in the US?

    Dear iTunes Support Team, I have recently started purchasing albums from the iTunes store and I am planning to buy even more in the near future. However, the U.S. iTunes store only offers a few German Artists/Albums. I'm happy that you are expanding the iTunes store with songs from all over the world and I'm happy that you are offering a few yet more and more German songs. I would highly appreciate it, if you could add Artists like Shindy, Bushido, Sido with their albums (NWA, NWA 2.0, FBGM, AMYF, Sonny Black) to your U.S. Store. I don't live in Germany anymore and therefore don't have German credit cards to switch over to the Getman iTunes store. You have some Bushido Albums available in the U.S. store available for purchase but I specifically am interestsed in his other albums. Also, the artists I mentioned above are only available in the German iTunes store and not available in the U.S iTunes store yet. Please kindly respond back to me. I would be more than happy to hear about a possible solution from your side. Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for your help! Yes, they are available but in the German iTunes Store only. Some older songs are available even in the US iTunes Store, but not the new songs from those German artists mentioned above.
    I cannot provide a German billing/paying info because I live in California. I would like to switch over to the German iTunes store to buy the albums available there, however, I do have a German iTunes Card but you still need to provide a valid card (visa,master card etc) to purchase songs from the German iTunes Store (I wish the German iTunes gift card itself  would be enough, this would make everything easy for many people).
    Please help me out and do I need to create a new Apple ID associated ONLY with the German iTunes Store?
    Thanks,
    shindymagjeder

  • HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer."  My computer is authorized

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer."

  • One of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod

    i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.

    Hello mobyash,
    Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod.  See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.
