Can't add music to my ipod

I just restored my ipod because it kept freezing and now it won't let me add music, i have tried syncing my ipod and i have tried dragging the music but it won't let me, what should i do?

Do a manual Reset on IPOD--by selecting
Menu and Center simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do several times before it okay again>
Then:
Goto setup under options page and check; manually manage music and movies;
Then goto Sync under Music page and select > All Music>
See if conditions has changed;>
If still failures>
Do the 5 R's.

    Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought on iTunes?

    Yes. Import it into the iTunes library, convert it if needed, and sync the iPod with that iTunes library.
    iTunes will not import or convert protected WMA or WMV content.

    Open iTunes on your computer and select "Add to Library."  Then sync it to your iPad.

  • No matter what I've tried, I can't add music to my iPod. help?

    The computer I usually use to add music to my iPod is broken, so I was trying to use a different computer in our household. When I plug in my iPod touch, it acknowledges that it is plugged in and everything. Then when I try to put music onto it, it goes through the motions of adding music, but when I look at the music section of my iPod, there is no music, and on the computer screen it says that it's on the iPod, but instead of having the names in black the song names are all in gray.
         I've also paid for the iTunes Match service, but when I enable it and look at the music section on my iPod, it never loads the music. It just comes up with an empty loading bar that never fills. I do have music in the Cloud, but it doesn't come up.
    I've tried backing up to the new computer and syncing to it, but it still doesn't add music.
         If anyone can help, I'll name my first born child after you.

    I had the same problem.  It was because I had maxed out my iPod's capacity.  Once I deleted some things off my iPod to free up space I was able to drag my songs onto my iPod without any problem.  Good luck.  Hope this solves your problem.

  • HT1495 Can I add music from one iPod to another without losing music on the first ipod

    Looking for a way to add music from one iPod to another iPod without losing music on the first iPod ... Please help

    iPods are not backups or data transfer tools.
    Move the music from the computer where it exists to the computer where you want it.
    Then sync the music to the iPod.

  • I can only add music to my iPod manually

    I just restored my iPod because I got myself locked out. I have a 5th gen iPod touch with the latest software, the latest version of iTunes, and I have "Manually manage music and videos" unchecked. But when I click "Sync," it goes through the process but doesn't synchronize my music. I can still manually add songs to my iPod. It's like it's stuck on manual. Can I fix this?

    Have you looked on the Device/Music pane and made sure that Sync Music is ticked (checked)? Until Sync Music is turned on, then a Sync will not put music onto your iPod.

  • HELP!!! I can't add music to my Ipod!! :(

    I have an iPod touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.6) and i have been trying to add music to it since yesterday. I have connected the iPod to my PC (Running on Windows 8.1) and when i try to add the music via iTunes (iOS 12.1.2) i get a box pop up saying "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod "Nics iPod touch" because no songs in your iTunes library can be played on this iPod".
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, Restoring the iPod through iTunes, Setting the iPod to manually add music, changed the "convert higher bit rate songs to..." I've also checked the music format against what can be put on the iPod..... nothing is working. It also hasn't asked me to trust my computer which i always get when i plug my iPhone in?
    Anyone any ideas as i'm losing the will to live!!!! :/
    I should also point out that the music is showing on the iPod on iTunes but its all grayed out and has a dotted circle to the left of the music?

  • Can't add music to my ipod? help

    i have tried restarting it, and putting it into a playlist, and a lot of other stuff. can anyone help?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

    I have 3 cloud backups and 1 iTunes backup available.

  • Can I import music from my ipod onto a new computer without old comp.?

    I have lost all my music and the itunes application from my computer and it was not backed up. The music is on my ipod classic but I'm worried I will not be able to add more onto it without the original itunes folder containing my music files. Won't it wipe over the stored tunes on the ipod if I sync the new itunes program containing only the new music I want to add?.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer. Hope this helps.
