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

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?

do you get any kind of message? Did you burn or buy the CD?

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,

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Old laptop died, can't get music off iPod

So I tried to follow the instructions for backing up my iPod, but I couldn't get it to work.
My old laptop died, but my iPod is fine. I want to transfer my songs from my iPod to the new laptop. My purchased music moved over just fine, but I can't get my CDs (which were ripped as mp3s) over to the new laptop. I'm using Windows, and when I mount the iPod as a hard drive, I only see the following folders:
Calendars
Contacts
Notes
iPod_Control (hidden)
Under iPod_Control, I have Accessories, Artwork, Device, iTunes, and Music subfolders.... the Music subfolder doesn't have any of the file names... any idea on how to quickly fix this? Thanks!

Can't drag music onto iPod?

Using a Mac for the first time (its been up & running for a while but I've just come home from eight months away so my first opportunity to use it, loving it!)...
Problem is that I can't drag music/audiobooks etc onto my ipod.
iTunes is definitely recognising my ipod and "Manually manage music" is checked but nothing happens when I try to drag music onto it.
Is there something I have to do because this is the first time I've hooked this ipod onto this computer? I can't imagine so because in Sydney I used internet cafes all the time and never ever had a problem adding music to my ipod.
I'm driving north for Christmas today & would really like to be able to listen to the new audiobook I've just downloaded. Help, please!

g'day and welcome to discussions !
instead of trying to drag & drop, sync playlists and audiobooks to your iPod.
browse through the various tabs for music, videos, etc. and put a "tick" in the box next to items you want on your Pod, then hit sync. see this KB http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
any help ?

Cannot get music onto Ipod(1.2)

well i got a new ipod on warranty and updated it to version 1.2 and Itunes to version 7... anyway... it wont let me manually put music onto the ipod! i drag the music and it says updating while the songs go though.. and i can see the memory used going down... once its finished the used goes back to what it was before!! what the ****! its doing the same on my bro's ipod as well.. he jsut installed to version 2 as well!! can anybody help?

and i can see the memory used going down... once its finished the used goes back to what it was before!!
if that's happening to both ipods on the same computer, we'd better check on the possibility from this document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

How can I get music onto my phone if it isn't an automatic option to download via the cloud?

I bought music today on my laptop, and it popped up on my phone to transfer.. Which I did with most of it... Unfortunately one of the albums never downloaded, though it is on laptop! It shows up in my itunes when I am on my laptop. It also shows that I have purchased it in the itunes app, but is not in my music selction with the cloud symbol next to the album for me to transfer it onto my phone. I have nooo clue if this is making sense, but I'd appreciate some help I have rebooted both devices to no avail.

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..

Getting music onto ipod from two different itunes libraries

I have 2 different computers with different music on each. I have downloaded itunes onto both. I have downloaded music from one computer onto ipod. When plugging ipod into second computer it says that I have to delete content of ipod to allow me to sync with the second itunes library.
Is there a way around this?
I have 'authorized' both computers to my itunes account.

Thanks very much!
My issue is that I have stupidly dropped my first laptop and broken the screen so it is unusable.
The music currently on my ipod is from this first laptop so I dont really want to wipe it in order to put music on from the second laptop (and hence now my only itunes store).
Is there a way to take the music currently on my ipod off somehow and store it somewhere, eg on my new computer, so that I dont lose it when I 'wipe it to sync with my new itunes store'?
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the help

HT5622 I can't get music onto my iPhone or my iPod. A message says that an internal error has occurred when I try to sync it. Anyone think they can help?

Is there a problem with my computer or my itunes account?

Do you see a number associated with the error?
What does it say is syncing in the little window at the top of iTunes?
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and then try syncing less content to identify what is causing the problem.

Computer virus killed my computer -- can i get music off ipod?

i got a virus on my computer so when it was fixed, everything was erased. i didn't have time to change my ipod to manual update. i have about 20gb of songs on my ipod now and don't have the money to replace it all. is there any way i can get the music from my ipod onto my computer?

Shellie,
I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Can't get photos onto iPod. Everything else is OK.

When I try syncing photos from iTunes to my iPod I get the "The disk could not be read from or written to." error message. Everything else gets synced (music, video, podcasts).
I tried reseting my iPod, rebooting Windows, the software was just installed when I got the iPod so it should be fresh.
Any ideas?

Hello . I have the exact same problem . After playing with reset - reinstall and speaking to apple directly for over 2hrs. I have found that there is no simple solution . It must be an Xp problem . Customer support suggested that the problem may be remedied if I create a new Xp user and reinstall to that user . It did not work . However - if you want to get pictures on your ipod and you can get videos on your ipod then do as follows - use microsoft movie maker - free with Xp - to make a slideshow of your photos . Then convert the .avi slideshow into ipod format . Put the video slideshow on your ipod and enjoy . You can pause during the slideshow to show people individual pictures . Just a note I can now no longer get podcasts on my 30g video ipod . Starting to wish I kept my hassle free , itunes free flash usb mp3 player .

Game download - can't get it onto ipod using Mac

I recently downloaded a game for my Ipod from a website but cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod because the instructions are for a windows computer and I have a mac. the instructions ask me to go to my ipod drive so that i can drag the file in. I cannot figure out where it is. Itunes opens automatically but I assume you can access the ipod in another way so e.g. you can use it like a flash drive to transfer files that aren't music or video. Does anyone know how I can access the ipod in any way that isn't through i tunes. Thanks.
