My itunes wont let me sync music onto my ipod touch, even though i have a ton of music on my touch already

My itunes is currently empty with no music in the library when i try and add music by dragging and dropping. (which used to work) i try and sync but it dont copy onto my touch. Any ideas?
I have tried restoring the ipod and also re-downloading itunes.

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • ITunes wont let me download albums onto my ipod touch- only individual songs - help!

    Ive tried switching it on and off and downloading 2 songs to see if that would help but it hasnt worked.
    The box that I would touch to buy (the one with the price of the album) doesnt do anything when I touch it and doesnt have a little '+' symbol in the top left of the price box like songs in the song list below has. Its driving me crazy!

  • ITunes wont let me sync music on to my iPod Touch

    I open my iTunes and it works fine, but when i connect my iPod (Touch) a message appears saying "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It gives me a choice to "Send Error Report" or "Dont Send".
    Ive tried both but nothing happens. It just closes down iTunes.
    I havent been able to sync any music or videos etc. to my iPod for at least a month now.
    Ive tried uninstalling iTunes, and re-installing it but the same problem happens again and again.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried dozens of times to sync it within the past 2 days and it won't work. It's really frustrating. Help....Please....anyone???

  • My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone

    My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone or take music off. Everytime I go to sync it it says I dont have enough space but I clearly have more than enough space left. I also am trying to take music off of my iphone so I can put new music on but everytime this box pops up and I really dont know what to do.

    I think you have misunderstood the message you see.
    The message states that you need an additional 1.93GB as well as the 3.93GB shown in the capacity bar. So it requires a total of 5.86GB.
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    Click on the OK button (in that message) and then deselect the media that you wish to remove. Once you have un-ticked the Playlists, or albums or whatever, click on the Sync button again to allow iTunes to Sync. It will then remove the un-ticked items, leaving space to add the 5.86GB that you are trying to add. If you continue to see the same message, but with a smaller additional amount required, then you have not deselected enough items.
    Check how much space is being used by the "Other" category (shown in the capacity bar). While there will always be a small amount of Other on an iPod, anything over 1GB is probably not correct. Usually, a Sync will sort this out. If it doesn't then you may have to perform a Restore procedure, but I suggest you use that only as a last resort.

  • HT1386 i am trying to sync songs onto my ipod touch when i have no songs at the moment but my itunes is telling me i have 544 songs which i dont. how do i solve this?

    i am trying to sync songs onto my ipod but itunes is telling me i have no more memory because i have 544 songs when i have no contex in my music. how do i solve this?

    Assuming the songs play in iTunes
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT4235 Bought an ipod but it will not sync with itunes.  Diagnostics passes everything but the sync test says "no ipod found" even though the computer shows it and itunes shows it but is still doesn't sync.

    I purchased an ipod shuffle (5th generation I think).  It is recognized by the computer and recognized by itunes but will not sync with itunes.  Ran diagnostics and all passed but when it got to the sync test, it says "ipod touch, iphone, or ipad found".  When I put on earphones, it tells me to sync with itunes.  But it will not.  What a person to do?

  • Itunes wont let me sync new games

    When i try to sync the games I just bought(song summoner) i get a message saying that if I do it will replace all games on my ipod with the games in my library, but the problem is my ipod video came with several simple games(Brick, Parachute, Music Guiz, and solitaire) preloaded on it, will it delete these games if I ok the sync or will they be ok, and if they will get deleted is there anyway get my new games onto my ipod without losing the preloaded ones?
    Thanks for your help!

    If you mean the built in games( and I think you do), they can't be deleted. If you mean games that someone else put on your iPod before you bought it, they would be deleted.

  • Itunes not letting me sync music which I've downloaded from CDs. Only taking music purchased on iTunes. WHAT IS GOING ON? Help

    iTunes is not syncing new music from CDs that I've downloaded only syncs music purchased from iTunes. Is this on purpose? Or another flaw with updates? Anyone have suggestions or fixes?

    I'm having the exact same problem, a total pain in the a$$. I tried restarting my computer and my iPhone to no avail. I have a MacBook pro and iPhone 4S and both are totally up to date software-wise. I would really like to listen to my music though.....
