Can't get music onto ipod nano.

Not very good with computers so any help is appreciated. Have one ipod nano connected without any problems. Have just purchased a new one for my other daughter and all the green ticks show when the cd is imported but unable to get it onto the ipod. Any ideas?

Can't get music onto Ipod

I have a previous itunes with music on it and now have a new 8GB nano and want to sync the music onto it but all it does is ask me to register my ipod (which I did) and then asks me to read the whole software license, check the box, save it, and then nothing else happens.....it stays on that screen! If I say cancel then the ipod just disappears from itunes. Help!!!!

You'll find instructions on this page: iTunes window does not display all options

TS1510 Getting Music onto iPod nano

I don't know how to transter the album I purchased at iTunes onto my iPod. When I go to "devices," the option "sync" is not highlighted.
Where can I find understandable instructions on how to do this, or can anyone tell me what to do?? I thought Apple was user friendly, but so far, I'm very frustrated. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

Yes ipod is a selection.

I can't get my 4gig ipod nano to sync or restore settings.

I can't get my 4gig Ipod nano to sync or restore factory settings. My playlist is good and all songs have been checked and work right. I get an error for no disc found when I try to sync up with my songs even when ipod is in disc mode. When I try to restore the settings i get an error 1463 and it won't let me restore. So I am kind of a loss of what to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

They haven't shown up in the refurbished section for a bit so they may be sold out. You probably will need to use eBay, Amazon, etc

How can I get music onto my 2nd gen iPod Touch?

My mum recently gave me her old iPod, a 2nd gen. My sister tried to upgrade it up to iOS 5 but couldn't.
Every time I plug my iPod into charge it pops up in iTunes saying, "This iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest vesion of iTunes."
Alls well saying that, but my problem is I'm running on version 10.4.11 Snow Tiger on a MacBook Pro.
When I go to download the iTunes it states that I need version 10.6.11 Snow Leopard.
My mother and sister both have Snow Leopard and Snow Lion but they will not let me use their iTunes.
What I need to know if there is anyway that I can get music onto my iPod without purchseing songs from the iTunes store.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
inezkazan.

I realized that.
This has been an outstanding problem for many months.
All I would like to know is if I can put music onto it atall..
Thanks.

How do I get music onto my nano ipod

Bought a new nano ipod at Staples yesterday. It has taken me over 6 HOURS to get the darn thing registered. I am seriously ready to return this if things continue in this vein. No support, no manual, no help, no info on how to use this item.
I now have 4 songs in my itunes library - 1 is a free itunes download, and 3 are from my computer, they were in the 'sample music' folder. Not spending another cent until I figure out this thing.
So I sign in to itunes, my ipod syncs and . . . NO MUSIC is on it. I have now spent 2 hours trying to move these songs over, to no avail.
Can someone please point me to step by step instructions for using this item? Yes, I HAVE found the online users manual, which is totally useless in trying to set up an apple ID, an itunes ID, and I've done everything it says to move the songs with no success.
I can't tell you how many times I had to fill in the info for the new account, link to PayPal, and now, every time I do anything it again asks for my email and password. How many times does this go on? There is something seriously wrong with the way this is going.

This is what the online manual says:
By default, iTunes syncs songs on iPod nano automatically when you connect it to your
computer. When iTunes is finished, you can disconnect iPod nano.
Well, I have not changed any default settings, at least not knowingly. And the songs do not move. As for disconnecting, you have EJECT the ipod and THAT took me over 45 minutes to figure out. Seems there is a sidebar which does not show and you have magically know to use control-S to get that sidebar showing.

Can't get music onto iphone

I have a whole library of songs on my itunes library. I got them all on my ipod ok but I cannot get them onto my iphone.
Please help

Have you sync'd your iTunes library with your iPhone? Most of the time music etc. is grayed out for the iPhone/iPod if you have it set to automatically sync. The only time it's not grayed out is if you've checked the option to "manage music manually". That may be why it's not letting you move it over manually. However if you've already sync'd it I don't know why you'd be trying to move stuff over manually anyway.
You can also transfer items you bought on your iphone (like your iBook) to your iTunes library. Just click "File" then click "Transfer items from iPhone".
Good luck!

Getting music onto my nano

If i put connect the ipod nano and then open up itunes should the songs on my playlist go right on? how to i get songs onto it?

Hi There Debra,
It's a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked!
1- Connect your nano and wait for iTunes to open.
2- Go to Edit>Preferences and click on iPod.
3- Select how you want to update the tunes on your nano--automatically or manually
4- If you select auto update for selected playlists, you can select only the playlists you want to use for updating the nano each time.
5- Once you select the playlists, they will be copied onto your nano.
6- When it's finished updating, eject your nano (in iTunes and maybe in Windows, too--not sure because I have a Mac.)
7- Have fun!
Regards,
David

Can't transfer music to iPod nano

How do I download music from portable hard drive to iPod nano. I tried to retrieve my music from iTunes, but its in the portable hard drive and it only shows up thru the cloud. I want to have access all my iTunes while keeping it on portable drive.

Hey Jdog469,
It sounds like the music on your external drive is not yet imported to iTunes:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Import music and video already on your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12493
Once your music is in iTunes, you can then sync the content to your iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Thanks,
Matt M.

Can't get pictures on iPod nano 7th gen

I tried to get photos onto my iPod nano 7, but the tab for photos doesn't show up on iTunes! The device itself has a spot (and shortcut) for getting photos. I tried dragging photos straight from iPhoto, but I get the same response each time- "(Insert random numbers and letters here) was not copied to iPod because it cannot be played on the iPod."
HELP!

Hello adavis5425,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To sync photos to your iPod, follow the instructions in the article below:

Can't get music to iPod

wow.... waste of 300 dollars? Ok, first off, the directions are very misleading. Obviously you don't just plug your iPod in and your comp with itunes syncs it. Because it doesn't. I try to sync my iPod and it gives me -36 error, and doesn't tell me what to do. I can't get a single song onto my ipod from my computer. I just got this stupid thing today also and am VERY frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Search these dicussions...you will find this question has been dealt with probably more often than any other.

Videos converted to MP4: can't get them onto iPod

I have converted videos from YouTube via tubeget.com to a mp4 format using my PC. They appear in the Documents --> Videos folder on the PC, a Windows Media program.
I can see the files in iTunes when I try to add them to iTunes using the “Add file to Library” option under the File menu in iTunes. But when I click on the mp4 file I can’t get it to transfer over to iTunes. That is, when I click on the file via “add to Library”, the file doesn’t appear under Videos in iTunes. And thus, of course, I can’t get the videos into my Videos folder on my iPod Classic.
The iPod is supposed to be a 5th generation. I bought it used from a reputable seller. It readily accepts music videos downloaded from the iTunes store, and it readily accepted a transfer of music files from iTunes to the device.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jay

If you don't see the videos in iTunes, that would be the initial problem, and that part is not related to the iPod.
You can use that Add to Library command from the menu bar, but it's sometimes more "informative" if you do it this way...
First, create a new playlist, so that it appears in the iTunes sidebar. If the iTunes sidebar is not visible along left side of window, from the menu bar under View, select Show Sidebar. If you have a lot of playlists already, you can start its name with an underscore (_) symbol, and it will appear at or near the top. Select that playlist in the sidebar, so that its content list is shown to me right (currently empty).
Then, open a Windows Explorer window that shows the video files. Drag one of the video files from that window, and drop it on the playlist (on the currently empty list). If that video file is compatible with iTunes (iTunes can play it), it gets imported, and it appears on the playlist. It also appears in the iTunes library, under Movies. Using a playlist as the place to "drag it to" just makes it easier to spot. If it works for one, drag the other videos you want to add, to the same playlist. On the playlist, you can edit the names as needed, and add other info such as Artist. Then try adding them to the iPod.
NOTE: You can select multiple files to add at the same time and drag them all at once. You can also select the folder that contains the files to add, and drag that folder to the iTunes window.
If the video file format is somehow not compatible with iTunes, you will not able to drag them to the iTunes window. Well, you can drag them there, but they will not get imported nor appear on the playlist. And that would be the problem to solve first.
Either way, you'll be a step closer to figuring out the cause of this problem.
