Need help - Songs do not transfer from ITunes to IPod

I recently upgraded to ITunes 7.2 and although I have acquired new songs in ITunes when I connect my IPod it quickly says IPod update is complete but my new songs do not show up on the IPod.
I'd rather not start from scratch by doing a restore or some other similar procedure.
Can anyone offer assistance here? Thanks!

Are you basing the few that don't get sent to your ipod on the file count? Could there be duplicates? I've noticed that there are some of my movies that don't get sent over but I usually get a warning that they aren't in a compatable format.
There is an option in either file or edit (can't remember exactly where, I'm at work) but you can filter to show all the duplicates. I've noticed that when I drag files over to be copied to my ipod and there are duplicates, it only does one.
After you find the culprits, another thing would be to export the file to your desktop. Delete it from iTunes then reimport it making sure of the file format.

  • Some songs do not copy from iTunes to iPod

    This is very frustrating. I have a 5th Generation 60gig iPod. There are about 20,300 songs in my library, none of them from the iTunes store. All legal, all owned by me and I have the CDs to prove it. When I update the iPod all but about 4 or 5 songs copy over. The frustrating thing is there's no way to find out which songs are not copying over to the iPod, so I can't tell if there's a problem with them or what. AppleCare tells me the only way to find out is to visually compare the list on the iPod with the list in iTunes. I have 20,000 songs here and allegedly one of the most powerful computers you can get and I have to compare two nearly identical lists visually?? Oh, by the way I'm running 10.4.6 and the latest version of iTunes and the latest iPod update. This never happened with my 4th Generation iPod. Any thoughts at all of what to do would certainly be appreciated.

  • All songs selected will not transfer from iTunes to iPod

    Previously my iTunes transferred accurately to my iPod. My most recent additions to my library are a couple of audio books. Now, one of my music CDs will not transfer to my iPod and only the first 6 chapters of one of my books will transfer. The rest of the book won't transfer. I've tried unchecking items then updating iPod. Then re-checking the items and attempting to transfer. These items still won't transfer.

    Locate these tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose Get Info from the menu.  When the window comes up, head over to Info tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "part of a compilation."  Then if necessary sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    You can see how your iPod is cnofigured to sync your music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes.

  • HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

    I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

    Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

  • 10 songs will not copy from iTunes to iPod.

    I have been having a problem when syncing my iPod. At the end of the sync, a dialog box appears, saying 'some of the items in the iTunes library, including "song name", were not be copied to the iPod "iPod name" because they could not be found". In total there are 10 songs that I can not copy to my iPod, they were all purchases off Amazon Music, as I had a voucher for the site at that time. When I initially purchased the songs, they were copied to my iPod without a problem, it is only recently when syncing my iPod that this has occured. If anyone could explain to me how to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful, thank you in advance!

    Hi, zoed0775.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If an exclamation mark next to iTunes media in your library means that either the media is missing from the computer or iTunes is not directed to where the media is located.  Here is an article that will help you locate the missing media.  I have also included a list of icons in iTunes 11 as it will direct you to the best course of action.

    If the media that is missing has been purchased from the iTunes Store, you can delete the problematic media and download it again free by following the steps below.

  • HT1386 can not sync my ipod to itunes.   itunes recognises my device and i was able to transfer books from my ipod to itunes but it will not transfer from itunes to ipod.  the sync option is not hilighted..What do i do now?

    My ipod will not sync fom library to ipod.  The sync option is not hilighted.  What do I do now?

    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?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • I have one song that will not transfer from iTunes to iPod Touch

    I have one song that at one time was on my iPod. I have since bought another version of the song and since then the newer purchase of the song is on the iPod but the first one I bought is in iTunes but is not on my iPod any longer. I have tried to transfer it several times but it just won't transfer to my iPod. What could be the problem?

    I read a post about something like this. I forget the details, but my advice is to rename the original song's track Name to something like "song (original)" and see if it will sync.
    You can always change it back if this doesn't work.

  • Some purchased songs are not transferring from itunes to ipod even others from the same album did.

    Originally the songs were only partially downloaded. After completing the downloads to itunes it was suggested to de authorize the computer and then authorize the computer. Still unable to transfer to classic ipod. Even tried resetting ipod.
    Any suggestions?

    yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

  • Some music will not transfer from itunes to ipod

    I noticed the other day that one album consisting of 5 songs that's in ITunes is not on my IPod Nano.. These are the only songs that I'm aware of.The songs play on Itunes, the box next to the songs is checked and syncing does nothing. They were on there at one time.
    Thanks,

  • New song downloads not transterring from itunes to ipod

    when i download music to itunes it is not transferring to my ipod when i sync.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from under it's Music configuration tab in iTunes? Or do you manually manage the iPod's contents by dragging and dropping songs onto your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.

  • New computer - songs will not transfer from IPOD

    Ok....I know that this is probably a common issue but I have a new computer running iTunes 7 and Windows Vista. I cannot seem to transfer my existing music files from my IPOD to my iTunes 7.0. I have attempted to drag and drop, use Consolidate Library, etc. I am not automatically syncing music because I do not want to lose my entire library of music on IPOD. Can someone help?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance also it won't transfer playlists. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated that will let you transfer individual tracks then there are a number of third party utilities that will do what you want. You can use these to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, check for Vista compatibility as they may not all have been updated yet. Some of these are free and some are commercial but generally they are not very expensive. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • How do I transfer all of my songs from Iphone to itunes as lost everything, some songs are not bought from itunes and have been from borrowed CD's but I really want them in itunes library?

    Hello, Please help as I tunes havent got back to me yet!!
    A couple of months ago, I lost all of my music/itunes etc as my computer needed a complete restore. When it re-installed itunes there was no songs on it at all and would only let me transfer the purchases made on my iphone from itunes back onto my library. The problem I have is that I want to upgrade my phone to the iphone4 but dont want to lose all of the songs on my iphone, some are downloaded from the itunes, most are from CD's that I still own but there are some great songs that I have put on from borrowed CD's or another download company i.e. hmv music downloads and those are the songs it will not let me transfer into the library on my computer so when I get the new phone, I could just sync and they will all be there.
    Please help as I do not want to lose any of my songs
    Thank you

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.
