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

When putting some songs onto ipod from itunes i get a errore message

when trying to putt some songs onto ipod from itunes i get error messages. how do i get those songs onto my ipod?

Open iTunes
If you don't have a menu bar hit CTRL+B
Store
Authorize this computer

My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

Hi Sonnova,
Do you happen to have more than one Apple ID? If you've authorised your computer using the one you're signed into then the most likely cause is that the iTunes purchases were made on another Apple ID.
To check you bought them on the Apple ID you're signed into, you can go into iTunes, click on Store and View My Account. From there you should have a Purchase History option where you can check the songs were bought on that account.
If you have another Apple ID then try to sign into that one (sign out of current one and into new one under Store in iTunes), then Transfer Purchases again and you should have no issues.
Hope this helps.

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.

Help! Please I can't copy any songs onto my ipod from itunes.

Hi, My ipod syncs Ok, but won't copy songs onto my ipod from itunes. I've tried downloading the latest software, but getting nowhere. Any advice would be greatly appreiciated.

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

Can't copy some songs from old to new iphone

I have some songs on my old Iphone that are listed on my computers itunes, but aren't actually on my computer (they have a small exclaimation mark by them). I can't get these particular songs onto my new iphone. I get a message that could not transfer because the original file could not be found.

Of course you cannot get them onto the phone, as you stated, they are not on the computer.
It is impossible for iTunes to sync content to an iDevice that does not actually exist on the computer.
Restore the missing files from the backup of your computer. You do have a backup of your important data, correct?

Can't copy some songs to phone

There are some songs that simply will not copy to the phone. Some are from CD's that have been imported and some are from iTunes downloads. I haven't been able to find a common denominator yet. Any idea what the problem is?

Yeah i originally had this problem too, I beleive the songs are too large for the Rokr, I think it has some kind of limitation so you CAN fit 100 songs on it. i went into the options on Itunes for the Rokr, (Right click phone Icon in itunes and go to options), and I checked, convert files during transfer to blah blah, what ever it was I dont remember, It was the only check box that looked like that, this way I belive it reduces the size and changed the file type to fit on the Rokr, i have had to further problems with songs.
Booyah.

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 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.

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago. Rest of playlist was ACC too. P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

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

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 get any songs onto ipod

after dropping my ipod, i keep getting a message from itunes saying Unable to update ipod, get the latest software - I have done that, to no avail.
The ipod is recognized by the computer, it turns on fine, shows the calendar etc - but has NO songs anymore. It's totally blank under Music.
I haven't tried erasing it with Disk Utility yet.
Is there anything else to try?
Thanks.

I hate to do this, but since i have no idea how to start a post, I'm just trailing with an unrelated one (about the alarm.)
I tried hooking up my Ipod to speakers so I could make it do an alarm in the morning. I had no trouble getting a playlist to be the "sound", and I did turn the alarm ON, and I did get the time right.
I tried the alarm with the ipod first on, then off, then plugged in to a charger, then not, and for some reason the sound never seems to play. When I select "Beep" it makes that single soft beep that goes not through the speakers but the ipod itself. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, because I know the playlist works - I've played music from it (and on these speakers.) Any ideas?
Thanks

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?
