Can't copy all songs to ipod

Recently downloaded an album and tried copying it to my ipod and only half the songs copy? I've tried removing all songs and readding them and they still won't copy. In the itunes library under my ipod its saying they're all on there but when i use my ipod out of itunes they don't show up?

So you can sync apps and other media to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes/items checked to sync?
Could you sync music from this iTunes library before?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?

Can't copy all songs from an imported CD

I have an OLD 15gb iPod. I bought a new CD and successfully imported all the songs into iTunes (V.7). I then selected all songs and dragged them to my iPod. However, only some of the songs copied. I cannot even drag some of them one-by-one to my iPod from iTunes.
I cannot figure out why I can't copy all the songs.
Any help would be appreciated.

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody

Not copying all songs to ipod

I just recently got a new video ipod, and when I tried to upload all the songs from itunes onto it, most of them did not copy. What's the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

It might of loaded the whole iTunes database but not all songs, so all the other times you sync, iTunes thinks iPod already has the songs maybe.
Try running the latest updater on it and restoring it. Restore wipes the iPod clean and then u use iTUnes to load it back up. the latest iPod updater is version 03-23-2006 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

Can't copy some songs onto ipod

Some of my songs won't copy onto my ipod nano for some reason, even though I have the new version and enough space on my ipod, and the files are all fine. I can't figure out why some songs are unable to be imported...(no warning sign, I only find out when I can't find the song I want on my ipod)
The only way I can get the songs onto my ipod is to put them in a playlist and then load the playlist into my ipod. Only then are the songs imported into the ipod.
Does anyone know what the problem is, or how I can make itunes copy ALL my music into my ipod without creating a separate playlist? This only started happening recently, everything worked fine before!
Thanks!

Same problem. Some of my playlists wont import either. HELP

Can't see *all* songs in iPod

I just transferred several songs from my iTunes library to my iPod. And when my iPod is connected to iTunes, all of those songs appear at Devices > my iPod > Music. HOWEVER, when using my iPod, not all songs are visible.
Can anyone help?

Hello Anthony,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Where are you searching for these songs at? From under the Songs list on your iPod or elsewhere? Have you doubled check to make sure they are not marked as "Part of a compilation" from under the Info tab of its *Get Info* window in iTunes?
You aren't getting any error messages while syncing are you? Have you tried removing all your music from the iPod and starting from scratch to see if that does any good?

Can't copy purchased songs to ipod since itunes5

So I just upgraded to itunes 5 the other day, last night I bought an album, and when I went to copy it to my ipod, it wouldn't let me. I can copy non-itms stuff to the ipod, just not anything i bought from the itms. Any ideas?

Jenni, so you downloaded the latest firmware and installed it? If you're having trouble doing that, all you need to do is locate the update file on your computer and double click to install.

Can't copy downloded songs from ipod to itunes

I have and ipod touch with about 600 songs on it, mostly from itunes but last week my laptop got a virus which deleted everything. I've downloaded itunes again and plugged my ipod in and it asks me if i want to transfer the songs i purchased on my ipod to itunes so i click yes but nothing happens. none of the songs transfer so i don't want to sync my ipod incase i lose them all off there. and when i try to download them again it says i need to pay or copythem from my ipod which it wont let me do. does anyone know what i can do?

Firstly make sure that you can access your ipod as a removable storage media. Once you have access enable in your windows explorer the option to view hidden folders. The itunes music folder of your ipod will be there somewhere. However the structure of the folders on the ipod are different to your itunes music folder on your pc.
You will see a lot of folders with names such as F00, F01, F02 an so on. In each folder there are scattered tracks all mixed up. I suppose as a way of copy protection. Copy them into your itunes folder. When you import them into the itunes library they should show as normal but if you want to back them up into folders with meaningful names it will be a long process.

Can't add certain songs to ipod

I just copied a brand new CD into itunes. When I tried to copy the songs to my brand new ipod nano, I got a messgae that said that it can't copy the songs to ipod because ipod can't play those songs. I've looked everywhere in the help sections, manuals, etc. but can't find a solution (or even a topic) dealing with this problem. The file format that I am trying to copy to ipod is MPEG-4 Audio File. Other songs in that same format copied onto my ipod and play just fine. Any suggestions?

It's not one of those Sony CDs with protection on is it?

Itunes can't copy some songs to my ipod

So I keep getting a warning from itunes that it can't copy 3 songs from my library to my ipod. This is what the error says word for word.
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because one or more errors occurred." It than lists the 3 songs that weren't transfered. The weird thing is that they songs were originally on my ipod but since I lowered the bitrate of all my songs, now they can't be on my ipod. It's weird because I've never had this issue until I changed the bitrate. And the songs that are giving me troubles are songs from different albums and different means of getting them. One was from a CD, the other from digital download and the other was from iTunes it's self. So... their good songs and I miss listening to them. What do I do?

Hello the_atm
If the songs are having issues syncing to your iPod, see if you can create a new version of the songs in either MP3 or AAC format and then sync it across again. You said one of the songs was a purchase from iTunes, try deleting the songs and then download it again if it will not convert.

How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.
