2gig Ipod won't upload new songs

Accidentally washed Nano the other day. Everything works besides Syncing and Uploading new songs. Any ideas would help. Computer/Itunes won't recognize Nano during initial startup. Itunes works 100%.
L.T.

How long did you let it dry? If it wasn't 5-7 days it still may have some moisture in it and if you attempted to charge it there may have been some battery/logic board damage.

HELP! iPod won't load new songs on my iTunes

My iPod has been having bizarre issues. It has been really screwed up since around August 13th, and it seems to work all right right now when I am merely playing it except that it sometimes skips over random songs. However, whenever I plug it into my computer, iTunes says that my iPod is being updated, but when it is finished and I unplug my iPod, there are no new songs. My ipod has 1090ish songs on it, and my iTunes has about 1157. I am really confused. Also, when I plug in my iPod to be updated, a tiny alert message comes up on my screen that says, "iTunes.exe - corrupt file
the file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes`Temp File is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
Anyone know what that means and/or what I can do? Do I have to send my iPod in to get fixed?
20GB 4th generation iPod Windows XP

I have the same error message
"iTunes.exe - corrupt file
the file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes`Temp File is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
itunes deleted all my songs even though i have it set to manual and now I can't upload any songs to my ipod. furthermore it says i have 21.6 GB available out of the 27.8 GB capacity, yet i have no songs or movies or anything on it. If you figure out how to fix this problem please let me know.

My Ipod won't download new songs??

We didn't get a cd with our ipod that we got from EBAY, but when I go to Itunes, it recognizes the ipod that we have, serial number and all.
My problem, when I try to update after buying a new song, it says--- Itunes cannot trasnfer song because you are not autorized by this computer--
Can anyone help??

ITunes Match won't upload new songs.

iTunes Match gets stuck "sending information to iTunes" when I add new songs to my library.

I just started having this issue on Sunday 7-27-14. I've successfully Updated my iTunes Match with several new albums over the last several days and then all of a sudden yesterday iTunes Match is stuck on Step 2: Matching your music with songs in the ITunes Store. All of my music and my main iTunes library are on my iMac desktop. Although I don't think this matters the music I'm having the issue with is the Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare. It has 12 songs. One song, #3, D is for Dangerous matched and is in my library. It can be accessed/downloaded from my other devices running my iTunes Match. (iPhone 5 and Macbook Air). The other 11 songs are stuck in the Waiting iCloud Status when viewing them in my songs list on the iMac. What is weird is that the other 11 songs do show on my iPhone and Macbook but they can not be played/downloaded. They are there but are faded out with no download symbol next to them (except for #3). See photos. In the middle photo you will see that 9544 of 9555 songs have been checked. It is the 11 songs from the Arctic Monkeys album that are hung up and stuck. ??????????
Additional update: Before posting this I deleted all 12 songs from my library and from iCloud, then Updated iTunes Match successfully (there were no changes) and then added the 12 songs back into my library. When I Updated iTunes Match again it gets hung up on the 11 songs. #3 was a success again.

thank u

Your post isn't clear.
What does "i reset my account" mean? What account?
"couldn't retrieve it". What is "it"?
What method are you using to transfer songs to the iPod, and what happens when you try?
The more info you give, the better we can help.

My ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

IPod Nano won't accept new songs

When I try to add new songs to my iPod Nano in iTunes it LOOKS like they get added. I can see them on the iPod, both at the top-level and in whatever playlist I put them in, and I can even PLAY them from the iPod in iTunes.
But once I disconnect the iPod from the PC they're gone from the iPod - they're not in Songs or in any playlist. The only sign that I did anything is that Info shows the amount free space decremented by the size of the songs. So they're taking up space on the iPod but they're not visible.
If I reconnect the iPod to iTunes it doesn't show them either (and it fixes the available space discrepancy, too).
FWIW I currently have 291MB of free space, and 314 songs on my 2GB iPod Nano, PC is Win XP.
Thanks in advance!

> I'm sorry that there doesnt seem to be a better
solution unless the post above applies :)
Reloading the the songs seems like reloading the whole OS on a PC just because one DLL or Registry entry is bad or replacing a car engine because of a blown head gasket.
Right now I have an Ipod with lots of songs on it that plays just fine. It just won't accept new songs. What if I dump everything to my PC, blow-everything-away, and try to reload it and it won't load ANY SONGS? I'm 4000 miles from home, so then I'm really stuck, with no tunes! From an engineering standpoint this approach just doesn't make sense to me. This is my first Apple product - are they all like this (i.e., if something acts up start over from scratch)?
When I have my iPod connectd to my PC I can see all kinds of system files in iPod_Control\Device. Aren't there any diagnostics we can run on those to simply solve the problem?

Cant upload new songs in iTunes from new computer onto iPhone 3gs

How do I upload new songs in my new iTunes from my mac to my iphone 3gs WITHOUT deleting or replacing all the old songs? My old computer crashed and I have no way of accessing those old songs but I dont want to loose all 509 songs. some were burnt from CDs i no longer have some were purchased through iTunes etc...help please! i really like my old music and just want to update it.

By 'rebooted' do you mean that you only rebooted it, or that you reinstalled its software ?
If rebooted then aare the songs still on your computer, just not in iTunes - by default your iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then File > Add To Library in iTunes should let you add it back.
If not then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases (including apps, films etc) back from your phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
For non-iTunes purchases (and for purchases if need be) there are some programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then add them to iTunes via File > Add To Library
If iTunes thinks that you are trying to sync the phone to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

Ipod won't sync certain songs after update to 5.1.1

I updated my ipod touch to version 5.1.1. This included the addition of icloud to my system. Since I have updated it, my ipod won't add certain songs from my itunes. It's really weird how it just randomly selected songs to download. I have songs in itunes that I purchased, as well as songs I imported from CD's. Every song shows up on my ipod song list, however most are "gray" and won't allow me to select them to play. (like they are not downloaded or something). I have retored my ipod three times to see if that will allow all the songs to play on my ipod and it won't work. Everytime I try to sync my ipod the fist song that tries to sync says "The file wasn't synced to the ipod because it cannot be read or written"......I have tried removing multiple songs and still get this message for every song. I did figure out that you can open the itunes store through the ipod and select "purchased". You can then view songs that "aren't on the ipod" and manually download each individual song to the ipod, however, not only is this a pain in the *** and going to take forever since I have 1000+ songs and tv shows, but this still won't get all my own music added from CD's to my ipod. HELP! Any tips or solutions!! ( Also, I am a Mac user if that makes a difference)

After over TWO HOURS on the phone with apple support I still had no solution. There were several songs that would freeze up my itunes, then I got the message "blah blah song" couldn't be transfered to the ipod because the file was unable to be read or written. The tech and I came up with the solution to just delete every song that came up on. In the end, I had to individually add EVERY SINGLE SONG to my ipod one at a time. If an error popped up I just deleted that song and made a note of it. I had no issues with the songs I imported from CD's, only the songs purchased off itunes. The tech never could figure out why. We rebooted, wiped clean, reset, anything...you name it we tried. We even moved everything to another computer to see if it was a computer issue, then we wiped my husband's ipod touch to see if it was a hardware issue on my ipod. NOTHING. This finally worked even though it took all day. Everything seems okay now, we will see the next time I add songs. I did lose ALL my photos and videos taken with the ipod. :/ That really ***** because I have a 1 year old who's entire first year was on that stupid thing. What a waste of a day.

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.
