Can not add songs to ipod

I have a 30 gig Ipod video, and have been manually dragging songs from my library to put on it. Recently, I have not been able to add songs. When I drag songs to it, nothing happens. No error message, nothing. Also, when I try to play songs on my computer from my Ipod, I get the exclamation point to the left of song name. The songs and videos already on the Ipod play fine when not connected to the computer. I would like to avoid having to restore if all possible.

simple question
(i'm sure that you have tried this) but is the ipod full (space wise) do you have any extra space on your ipod.

Can not add songs to ipod--says not space when there should be

I have deleted many, many songs from my ipod but when I try to add just one song, I get the message that there is not enough space for the file. Also, the space available is not going down when I delete songs. Help!! Do I need to delete everything and start over?? Many thanks for any help.

Are you deleting actual songs and not just deleting playlists?
Deleting playlists (which are links to the songs) will not free up space on an iPod.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Ipod synched to only one library at a time - can not add songs?

I initially loaded my shuffle with songs on a friends computer. Now I want to add more songs to it but if I plug it into a different computer in itunes I get an error message that says my ipod is synced with another library, it can only be synced with one so my only option is to delete my ipod and sync with the new library? (my friends computer crashed months ago so there is no option of getting those songs or going back to that computer to change my settings) I do not want to delete my ipod and start over. Is this specific to the shuffle because I know people who have plugged ipods into other friend's computers to add songs? Has anyone else had this problem and do you know how to fix it? Thanks!

It's specific to the shuffle and is supposed to prevent (easy) theft of music.
Advising you how to circumvent this is actually against the terms of use of this forum...HOWEVER (from the very fine "iPod shuffle Features Guide:")
Important:
Once you’ve synced iPod shuffle with the iTunes library on a computer, a
message appears whenever you connect iPod shuffle to another computer, asking if
you want to sync with the iTunes library on the new computer. Click Cancel if you want
to keep the current music content on iPod shuffle. Or, click Transfer Purchases to keep
the contents on iPod shuffle and copy the purchased songs on it to the iTunes library
on the new computer. See iTunes Help for more information.

Can't add songs to iPod Touch after updating to v2.0

I just updated my iPod Touch to v2.0 and now I cannot load any songs onto it. When I drag songs or playlists over the Touch in the iTunes Devices list they just bounce off. Everything else seems to be acting properly. Contacts, Photos, etc. sync/update just fine.
I had this problem before after updating to Leopard. I can't find the thread I used then. It walked you through a process of deleting some file in the User>>Library folder before reinstalling iTunes. Unfortunately I don't remember which file(s) need to be tossed.
Anybody know the sequence or have a link to the earlier thread?
Thanks...
John

An update...
Having nothing left to lose, I trashed iTunes and reinstalled it. Now I can at least sync Playlists. I'm not sure why I can't drag songs onto the iPod touch.
Still waiting for help on that one...

Can't add songs to iPod mini - Please help

I am running iTunes 6 on Windows XP and my iPod mini is updated with the latest software. I connect it to my computer and it appears in iTunes without any problems. I add songs to it from my library and they appear to transfer without any problems. But when I do, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears in my system tray. It is an itunes.exe - Corrupt File message. When I unplug my iPod, the songs that I added no longer appear in my song list.
I have 2 iPods that I use on this computer and the other one works perfectly. So my question is 2-fold. 1, how do I fix this? And 2, why did it happen so that I can prevent it in the future?

hi Amy!
here's a good place to start with that error message:
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
but if more advanced treatments are required, Da Gopha's excellent compendium may be useful:

(Da Gopha's compendium might go some way towards answering your second question, but it's a fairly involved issue.)

ITunes will not add songs to ipod

Please Help!! My iTunes recognizes my iPod and tries to update it, but an error message appears that reads "---ipod cannot be updated,the disk could not be read from or written to." It also deleted all the songs from my ipod. I don't know what to do. I have the iPod video and everything worked fine the last time I plugged it in the computer.

Can't add songs to ipod touch...Please help?

Okay. I downloaded some new songs to my computer. I added them to my ipod without any problems. Then I went to add them to my sister's ipod. The first 5 songs went on just fine, but when I tried to add the next few songs, I said something along the lines of "Unable to sync, unknow error" and then a 4 or 5 digit number. It only said it once and the message doesn't pop up again when I try again so I have no idea what the numbers were.
Now whenever I drag songs to the ipod, the ipod is highlighted and the box with the plus sign shows, as if it is going to work. But when I release the song, nothing happens. It doesn't sync the song, there's no error message, nothing.
I'm really reluctant to do a restore or anything similar because our music is spread out over about three different computers, and several months ago I had a virus on my computer so some of my music isn't on ANY computer.
I've already tried restarting both the ipod and the computer, and I tried plugging the ipod in

- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also reboot the computer.
- Then try again and remember the complete error message
Could this have been the error number:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

Can not add a second gmail account to my ipod touch.

I can not add the smart lists to ipod

I can not add the smart lists to ipod, itunes If (when clicking the lists are empty) but notas add to the ipod touch are not added automatically.

Experiencing exactly the same error. The error only occurs on the clustered gateway. Non-clustered gateways work fine. I followed Kristian's whitepaper exactly except that I didn't use a service template to create the gateway cluster. All NICs are connected
to the proper switches. There are no relevant events/errors on the hosts or the gateway cluster nodes.
Troubleshooting steps taken so far...
1. reboot everything
2. deleted the network service from VMM and re-added
3. Verified that HNV is working on the host cluster by disabling "host dedicated to gateway" and moving an NVGRE VM to the cluster.
4. Verified all other networks are working properly on the host cluster.
5. Deleted and re-added all NICs in the gateway cluster.
6. Verified that the gateway can be configured using Powershell on the host and remote.
Now I'm going to create another clustered gateway and another non-clustered gateway to reproduce the problem.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
