Can't add songs from itunes to ipod

Hi all. Just got a new computer and transferred everything to do with ipod to it, but now if a download a song on to itunes, when i plug my ipod in, it doesn't update the song to it. Any ideas?
Cheers Gazza

Check your update preferences. Connect your iPod and when it shows in iTunes click on it's icon this will bring up the tabs in the main pane to the right. In the first tab "Summary" check to see if your iPod is set to "manually manage songs and playlists" if it is remove the checkmark and the one against "enable disk use" and click "Apply", your iPod should sync automatically after that.
If it's not set to manual and still won't sync then 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 and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Can't transfer songs from Itunes to Ipod

    I'm trying to move songs from Itunes to my Ipod, and it's not moving them. Instead I'm getting an ! next to the songs. All of these songs used to be on my Ipod and I had to do a hard reset due to software corruption. Now it's not allowing me to add any of my old songs. I've updated both my Itunes and Ipod software. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem,basically i had dragged and dropped the wrong folder into my itunes!This means the songs you've dragged in are essentially the titles but not the actual songs!!! I had to hunt all over to find the right one. Have a look at this link

  • I can't transfer songs from iTunes to iPod

    I had purchased several songs from iTunes and transferred them onto my iPod. One day, they just disappeared from my iPod, even though they're still in my Library. I've tried syncing my iPod manually and automatically, upgrading to new versions of iTunes, etc., but I can't get the songs back on my iPod. I've since imported a few more CDs into iTunes, and I can't transfer those to my iPod either, trying all the same methods. iTunes says that my iPod update is complete, but it's not. Any advice??

  • Can't add songs from iTunes to iMovie

    I'm having a new problem. I have the latest versions of iTunes and iMovie. I've used iMovie before and never encountered this - I can't add any songs to a track. When I try to do this, I get the error: "iMovie song could not be used because the original file could not be located." Please help.

    I know this thread's fairly old, but I tried everything mentioned here and in a few other threads I saw on the web, and finally I found something that worked: It seems iMovie couldn't access the "main" library, but COULD access songs that were a assigned to playlists, when you select the playlist in the music selection pane. So, I made a playlist called "global" and put my entire library into it. I selected that playlist in iMovie, and now it can find every song I have!

  • Can't update songs from itunes to ipod even after it shows ipod updated

    Plz help,Itunes show the songs being transfered to ipod
    but no new songs or playlists can be found in the ipod, this is happening since last 2 days

    Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

    If does not work
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

  • Can you erase songs from iTunes, but keep them on the iPod???

    Hi, I'm a newbie and tried to post this question earlier, but I'm not sure if it worked.
    I'm wondering if there is any way to update your ipod, then take some of the songs on itunes, but still plug your ipod in later and keep those former songs on the ipod even if they're not on itunes. I'm thinking this isnt possible. But I wanted to make sure. I have limited HD space, but a 30GB ipod, so I was considering my options.
    thanks!

    Set the iPod to sync manually; you can then delete songs from iTunes without them being deleted from the iPod automatically. You should keep another copy of the songs if you do this, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

  • Can not transffer some songs from itunes to ipod

    I have down loaded some hindi song from net , I am trying to transfer song from itune to ipod but can not can some one help me?

    Are you using a 1st or second generation shuffle and what format are the songs that won't move? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle:

    Hey Adel Andic,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. If your music is already in iTunes, all you have to do is sync your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac by following these instructions, and you should be able to easily get your music on there:
