Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

I just bought a 7G nano. All of my songs are in the cloud. My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos. I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced. The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod. The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC. Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I can't load songs onto my iPod nano after updating to the latest iTunes!

It just won't let me drag and drop songs like I used to be able to and when I go into the other option it tries to syc the whole library and delete what I've already got on it and I don't want to do that.

Hi thomas-paton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the most recent iTunes update. If you are having issues dragging individual files to your iPod nano when connected in iTunes, you may want to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is selected, as outlined in the following article:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading.

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading. Each download takes over a minute and I have 2000 songs! How can I just listen to my music again without downloading each and every song??? BTW, I purchased the iPhone 5S hoping that this issue would be solved with more memory - it's not. At this point I just want to remove the whole cloud-thing from my phone and go back to only having the songs on one device, no download required except the original iTunes purchase. How do I do this???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds as though you misunderstood the purpose of iTunes Match. You still need to have the content on the device to play it.
However it's effectively no different than before in that you keep your most played content on your phone but are able to download stuff you rarely play should you ever wish to.
There's no value whatsoever in iTunes Match unless your library doesn't fit on your phone.

How do I listen to a song from the cloud without downloading it to phone?

When I hit play it downloads to my Iphone. I don't want to store locally only on cloud?

iCloud doesn't work that way. The "streaming" isn't streaming; the media is downloaded to your device and you can begin listening before the download is complete. You can always delete the songs from your device after you've finished listening; doing so will delete them from your local device only, not from iCloud or iTunes Match.

Can't load songs onto new Ipod

Can someone please help me. I had to return my Ipod and get a new one due to it being faulty. Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs. Any idea on how to get this done?

hi Sherry!
Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs.
does the synch seem to go perfectly successfully, but some songs just don't transfer? if so, try the advice given here:
Scott Patrie, "iTunes won't transfer purchased music to iPod", 07:24pm Oct 7, 2004 CDT
but if you're getting an error message, or your connection seems to quit after a while, please describe the situation in a bit more detail. (include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Can you play a movie from the cloud without downloading?

I previsouly was able to stream movies and tv shows from the cloud without downloading. Is this still possible with the new IOS?

You should be able to. I don't have any IOs devises with me at the moment, but try this.
From your IOS device go to iTunes/Purchased. Look for shows that are not downloaded and you should be able to stream them.

HT1473 I have an audio mp3 (it's a lecture, not copyrighted). It's in my itunes now but I can't get it onto my iPod nano. I have a mac.

I have gotten an mp3 of a lecture into my itunes but can't get it onto my ipod nano. I'm on a mac. How do I do this?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod Touch!

whenever i go onto iTunes and try to put songs onto my iPod using the click and drag method i get this message - 'the iPod "George's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to'. What can i do? Please, anyone, even a guess will do...
By the way i have the latest version of iTunes and the latest system thing on my Touch.

I have seen this article listed on many requests for help. I have tried these fixes but the iTouch will get about 200 songs into the sync and then will give the same message. I have successfully synced the iTouch to my laptop (Vista system)but that is not the primary computer for the touch. Are there any other ideas/solutions?

I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod

Hey, I have 697 songs currently on my library, when I connect my iPod to the computer it says it's retrieving less songs than that, say 200 for example, which it doesn't do anyway. It just sits there not putting any songs onto my iPod and then comes up with a message that it doesn't work. Please someone help this is getting very annoying!

How about the problems in iTunes 5? Are they better now?
hello Mr Bond!
apologies for the late reply ... during the early weeks of the 5.0x launches, my email went down and i wasn't getting any notification of replies to my posts. at that stage, i was pretty much trapped in "Installations & Upgrades" so i couldn't get out to my other favorite forums to check for replies to any of my posts ... i'm currently working through a backlog of 500 unanswered email notifications, saw your post, and decided to take the opportunity to have a chat.
update from our last communications. traffic levels are certainly down in Installations and Upgrades. our primary concerns over there at the moment are probably the nastier versions of the QuickTime 1402, and the newer variations on "the software required for communicating ..." and "Ipod Service Error". I'm taking this (in a perverse way) as a good sign. these were rarer sorts of errors at the height of the madness. so when the discussions are being dominated by the rarer sorts of errors, it suggests we've got a good handle on the other 5.0.x installation problems.
the "general mood" of the forum is still a little more bitter than in the 4.9 days. but it has improved considerably over the past couple of weeks. (however, giving helpful and descriptive titles to posts and threads still seems to be a lost art over there ... i'm not entirely sure why.)
i am hoping that i shall
b not
exceed your tally of posts any time soon. i actually find it a little disturbing that i have passed both Buegie and StarDeb recently. back in my early days of posting, i used to wonder "how on earth does anyone accumulate 4000 posts?" ...

How do I get my purchases from the cloud to download to my ipod touch?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I can't load my newly bought songs onto my Ipod nano.

I just bought them friday. I have over 250 songs in my library and now the only thing that shows is the new 18 songs as a playlist. I can't contact support because I don;t know the serial number of my Ipod Nano. Where is the number?

go to file update your ipod and all the songs should go on the ipod unless theirs something wrong with yhe cord

Can't Download Songs Onto New Ipod Nano

I have had Itunes on my computer for 1-2 years and use it with my Ipod Shuffle & my brother's Ipod Mini & have no problems. I just bought an Ipod Nano & am having trouble with it. The instruction manual I received with it does not help me @ all. I received one CD with it & ran the only setup file from the CD that I could fine & it acted like it installed ok.
I updated Itunes today to the latest version.
When I plug the nano up to my computer using the USB cable, it shows on the ipod screen that it is connected, and a box pops up on my computer that asks me what I want to do, but it does not give me an option to open Itunes.
When I open Itunes manually (with the nano connected), it shows no recognition of the nano.
I tried to drag songs directly to the nano file (under the "E" drive) & the computer showed the songs downloaded under the file, but the nano still showed no songs on it.
Any Suggestions???!! I'm lost..Thanks so much!!

hi...convert your cd songs the format itunes for ipod is using..it should do the trick...mp3's are also supported aside from m4a.

Loading songs onto same iPod, different computers

Can you load your iPod from different computers (iTunes installed on both)? When I tried to load some new stuff from a different location, it says it's linked to another iTunes library, do I want to replace what's on the iPod with the new library (something like that). Will this wipe out all my current songs on my ipod?

Yes it will.
Sadly you can't change the settings inside iTunes until the iPod is connected... the default setting is to automatically update the connected iPod with the computer's music library.
However, it is possible to do, although a little unconventional and would probably not be something apple would recommend...I have done it several times with no effect to the iPod.
Connect it to your computer
As soon as iTunes recognises it, change the settings so that you manually update iPod, then...
manually disconnect your iPod without ejecting it
Wait for a few moments and...
Bob is your uncle!
Reconnect and manually update at your own leisure keeping your old tunes
