Can't add songs to my ipod shuffle

my computer reads my ipod but when i try to add songs my itunes freezes then when it unfreezes nothing happened. When i tried to add songs with my sisters computer it will work but not with mine. any ideas?

Try downloading the iPod Reset Utility (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238 or http://support.apple.com/downloads/iPodReset_Utility_1_0_4_forWindows)from Apple and reset the iPod and then try adding the songs by Auto fill.. This works for me...
But only problem is that when ever you need add a song, we need to reset each and every time and then Update the play list and then do the auto fill...
Best of luck...

I can't add songs to my ipod nano 5th gen. Get a sync error (13019)

Today I connected my 5th gen. nano to my windows computer to add some songs to my library. When I connected it I got a pop up saying windows had added my ipod drive to the computer. I dont know why it did this because it was already added; I've had my nano for over a year and have been using it on my computer for too. I went to add songs, and they worked. When I subsequently went to change something in a playlist, I got an error saying my ipod couldn't be synced (13019). I have never had my ipod synced so i dont know why it would say this. Now, when I try to add songs to my ipod, it doesn't work, and I get the same sync error message. I don't know what to do.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

I can't add songs to my ipod mini

i am no longer able to add songs to my ipod mini. when i connect the mini to my laptop (ibook) a message pops up which says that there is not enough room on the ipod for the files and would i like the computer to randomly select music to be added to the ipod. i have checked the manual selection for my ipod and i still can't put music on the ipod but when i went to the apple store they said that it was working fine and they reset it as well so i shouldnt have a problem but i still do plz help.

"a message pops up which says that there is not enough room on the ipod for the files and would i like the computer to randomly select music to be added to the ipod"
Unless I'm missing something really obvious here, you can't put any more music on it because the iPod is full.
"i have checked the manual selection for my ipod and i still can't put music on the ipod"
Manual or automatic, if the iPod is full you can't put any more music on it without deleting songs from the iPod to create some space.

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

Can't add songs to my iPod in iTunes 11

I cannot add individual songs to my iPod in the new iTunes. I tried all of the methods described in the Apple tutorial - none of them actually work. All I can do is auto-fill, which I have absolutely no desire to do. Is anyone else having this problem? Anybody out there find a solution yet?

Assuming you do not already have the left hand sidebar showing, click on View, Show sidebar. Then you will see all your devices libray and playlists. Then you can just drag the song title onto your iPod. Just retried to confirm it works with my iPhone and it does. Then click on your device and sync.
An grey button apears to the right of the song title when you hover over it. Click it and the Add To option appears about 2/3 the way down. Click on that and you can add to a playlist

How can i add songs to my ipod touch???????

apparently apple has done another update, and a whole revamp of the original layout and i can not find ANYTHING any more. updates dont work and it says my 2000 pictures are gone and my 500 songs show as only 1 song.....which is the ONE new song i just added. what the heck did they do????? how can i upload anything?????
I promise you i will NEVER EVER buy anything from apple ever again. This has been my first and final purchase because they seem to make it soooooo overly complicated that i just want to smash the machine to bits and go buy something else.....which is in the very near future. I can get a $50 mp3 touch screen player with 32GB through walmart right now that does EVERYTHING this ipod touch does and if it breaks WHO CARES IT WAS $50!!!! Unlike the $400 i spent on this piece of crap. But the best feature on the cheap walmart one is the ability to use it and understand it!!!
So for now, because i am giving this pos to my son to play with all he wants, how do i get it to add songs?????
Thank you.

I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

Then you can sync whatever content you wish:

I can't add songs on my ipod, its as if it were locked!

I just got a replacement and it won't let me add or delete the exact songs I want on my iPod. the only way it can is by letting iTunes choose my playlist. Whenever I try to drag a song onto my iPod, its as if it were locked & not allowing me to do so. I can't highlight any of the songs either. I already tried the "5R's", reset the warnings, and still nothing! There are no warning signs or anything else letting me know why it won't let me add or delete. Help!

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod

HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes. When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop. How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back

When I try to add songs to my iPod shuffle 1st gen, an error (-50) occurs

Hello. Each time I try to add songs from iTunes to my iPod (1st generation), an error called (-50) occurs and prevents any song from being transferred to the iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes and updated it several times, besides restoring the iPod itself before each new attempt, but the advice about that error always appears again.
Does anyone know any solution to this?
Thank you.

On an XP system, we'd better check the possibilities from the following document:

Nothing should be lost.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.
