Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

I currently have an iPod Touch. Have downloaded the most current iTunes. Have the latest software update for the iPod. For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod. Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod. Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail. I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so. Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes?? All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
So how the heck do I do this?? I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this.

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Can't get my music from iTunes to iPod

Hi, I've never had any problems with my iPod until now. Each time I connect the USB cable into any of 6 ports the music will not transfer automatically from iTunes to the iPod. I can see no fault with the cable as it will actually charge the iPod but just not transfer the songs. Any help on this matter would be really, really appreciated

In case your iPod isn't recognized by iTunes take a look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711 as well as at http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes. Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access. It will not load media onto the device.
Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.

Can't sync new album from itunes to ipod

have recently downloaded new coldplay album from itunes but ipod will not pick it up during syncing, however will pick up recent podcasts??? any suggestions please!!!!

Your computer may not be authorised. Try playing a track from the album from itunes. If you are not authorised, it should prompt you for your password. Once authorised it should transfer to the iPod.

I can't get my music from itunes to my ipod

I have been trying to sync my ipod to itunes to get my music and it doesn't do it. I am new to IPODs so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't sync an iPod using Windows Media Player. You need to add the songs to your iTunes library first, and then sync those songs to the iPod.
This document provides more information (Add to Library section)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347
NOTE: The WMA files (the file type used by Window Media Player) need to be unprotected (no DRM). They are converted to a format supported by iTunes while adding to the iTunes library. This WMA conversion feature only works in the Windows version of iTunes (Mac users cannot do it).
I believe you can drag and drop the WMA files, or the folder containing the WMA files, onto the iTunes window. The original WMA files are not changed. iTunes creates its own converted files at the location it stores all the iTunes media files.

Getting new music from iTunes library to iPod?

For the past week or so, my iPod hasn't been syncing correctly to my iTunes. I have too many songs on my iTunes to fit my iPod Touch (4th Gen.), so i uncheck the ones I don't want. However, the new songs that I've added from that's in my Recently Added playlist on my iTunes won't add onto my iPod. I've tried taking all of the music off my iPod and putting it back on, but it's like the iPod won't respond at all. Nothing changes when I change settings and new music, or even TV shows, can come on or off it. Idk what to do at this point. Help?

Can't get the music from Itunes Store to my Ipod

I have just downloaded a couple of songs from Itunes, without any problems. But a problem occurs when i try to get it from my libery to my Ipod, it tells me that i didn't got kopied to my ipod because i do not have permission to play the subject on my computer.
How come ? And how do i fix it ?
It says "Explicit" in front of the songs i just downloaded can this have something to do with the fact that i can't get it to my Ipod ??

Did you actually authorize your purchases by playing them for a few seconds on your computer prior to downloading to your iPod? "Explicit" has nothing to do with this issue. A song is flagged that way because of bad language or possibly being sexually explicit.

Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

Home Share - can't get some songs from iTunes onto iPod

I have an old PC I had originally downloaded iTunes on. I have a new laptop with iTunes as well. I used Home Share and everything is great - both libraries show on both computers. The problem is that I have one song and one video that I have purchased from iTunes on my new laptop and I'm unable to load either onto my 160GB iPod. I'm using Windows Vista on the laptop and XP on the PC. Since both items show in both libraries, why can't I get either synced onto the iPod? I've tried syncing from both the PC and the laptop with no success. Anyone else have this particular problem?

How can I get album artwork from itunes to ipod with manual music managemen

I have chosen to manage music manually since there are four ipods that use the same computer in my home. I recently upgaded to itunes 7 and got my album art updated but can't figure out how to get it to the ipod without syncing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!

Well there is a setting to "manage music manually" so that the sync doesn't happen automatically. That way my wife doesn't have to get the stuff I put on the system, etc. I have to drag and drop new stuff onto my iPod after I rip it into iTunes.
I'd give in and allow the autosync but I have a number of CD's that for some reason iTunes can't "find" even though they're already on the iPod. itunes tells me that if I do the sync the iPod will be erased and rewritten and I'm worried about losing those tunes.
Thanks for the post! Greetings, Copenhagen.

I can't get my music from iTunes to my iPad2.

Can anyone help? The satus bar at the bottom of iTunes shoes music is there but when I try to sync no music is transfered to my iPad. I have tried a restore and this didn't help. Any advice?

Prior to IOS 5, the iPad was not a standalone device. It needed to be synced to iTunes. Now you can use it without a need for that. However, music cannot be transferred via the connection kit. If you have purchased songs you can load them from icloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
For unpurchased you will need iTunes to sync or iTunes match to put them in the cloud.
For the other question, are you receiving an error when you connect via USB?

Can't transfer certain music from iTunes to Ipod.

Hi there. I downloaded a live performance to iTunes from a website. The music won't transfer to my iPod. All of the songs have the "radio" icon next to them. I right clicked them and there is no option to change them to AAC format. The songs are saved on my hard drive, but just the URL. Can't burn them to a CD either. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time!

There's an app called WireTap Pro:
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/
It records any and all audio on the Mac, including radio programs in iTunes. You can even pick the file format (mp3, AIFF, WAV, etc.) It's not a quick solution, but it'll get the job done.
Hope this helps.
