Can't get songs from library to download to ipod

I just bought a new computer. I copied my song library from the old computer and pasted them in "my library" in itunes on the new computer. Then I downloaded 18 more cd's to my computer. They appeared in one long list. But when I tried to download them to my ipod, the new 18 cd's (and not the songs I had pasted in my library from my old computer)appeared on my ipod. After the download was complete the list in "my library" contained the complete list but I can't get the complete list onto my ipod.

Sounds like what happened was the song files from your old computer didn't copy to your new computer's hard drive. Try moving the files over (via CD's, an external drive, or your iPod)

And then adding the files to your iTunes library.

After that, you should be able to update your iPod without any issue.

  • Can't get songs from library to ipod

    hi
    i just bought an ipod yesterday. I was able to get songs from my cd's to the library. I can't get the songs from the library to my ipod. When i look in the user guide, i see an option button which looks like it should be in the bottom right hand corner. My itunes does not have this button. I even removed programs and downloaded from apple website. What am i doing wrong.

    hi!
    * Sorry for my last post, this is want i want you to search for:
    SYNC/ERASE
    * using the latest iPod Updater and iTunes Correctly:
    1. Run iPod updater, then connect your iPod shuffle
    2. After it recognizes the iPod, run iTunes
    3. The iTunes will not recognize the iPod shuffle.
    4. Close the iPod updater, iTunes will now recognize the iPod shuffle
    5. You could now sync/erase your songs
    * I think the iPod shuffle updater program conflicts with iTunes program:
    Coz, if you just connect your iPod shuffle and let the iTunes run automatically, the iTunes will recognize it while the windows will recognize it for just a sec then disconnects it, that's why you couldn't sync/erase yor songs.
    ** Only tested in iPod shuffle, but i think this will work too if you got the same problems.
    * wait 5-10 sec for each steps (1-3)
    i hope this would help you!..

  • New Mac can't transfer songs from library to iPhone or iPods

    I just bought a new Mac Mini because my iBook died. My iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive. I can see the library in iTunes, but when I try to move them to my iPhone or iPods I get an error message. It states that the new computer must be authorized. I do the authorization process and it tells me that this is computer of 2 of the 5 that I can authorize to play music and it is authorized. But, I can play the songs thru iTunes, but can't transfer them to any other devices.
    The majority of the music in my library wasn't purchased thru iTunes. It is music ripped from purchased CD's to the hard drive and then imported into my library. I have had no problems for the last 5 years with this library on the laptop.
    Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or suggestions on how to solve the problem?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    IS your ipod in Automatic mode or Manual.. Meaning if it is in manual mode you must transfer the songs manually. TO change - With ipod connected go to edit - preferences - ipod from that you ca select whether you wat automatic "yes" or manual

  • For some reason Apple has decided randomly that my debit card doesn't match my bank account. And, I can't get songs from cloud on to my iPod. I'm stationed in Germany with no way to call Apple support from here [Freeking 1800's can't be called from here

    I could not be more frustrated than I am right now with Apple. Abysmal support for Americans overseas

    Since have completely lost control of that Apple ID and neither recovery email nor security questions are working any more, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can't get songs from my iPod into the library on my new mac

    I recently had to get a new hard-drive on my dell laptop, and iTunes was uninstalled from the computer. When I re-installed iTunes, my iPod was not being recognized by the laptop, so none of my songs on my iPod were in the library anymore.
    Now I have a new MacBook, and my iPod is being recognized, but I can't get most of my songs from my iPod into the library in iTunes.
    I'm sure there is an easy solution, but I can't figure it out!
    Any help is much appreciated!!!

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How can I get songs from iPhone into iTunes

    okay so on my old computer (and on my iphone now) i had/have around 1000 songs in my itunes from various websites, around half of these are free downloads of independant artists and things like that, so not purchased in itunes. the other half i did purchase. my old computer broke, so i can't get to any of the non purchased songs, besides from my phone. i transferred all my purchases into my new computers itunes so around 450 of my songs i can access, but the rest are only on my phone. itunes keeps prompting me to erase and sync but that would get rid of all the non purchased songs on my phone so they would basically be lost forever, right? i know they want me to do that to protect against illegal downloads and things like that but this stuff isn't downloaded illegally! is there anything i can do to get my music on this computer or am i basically screwed? also i've tried downloading a few free tracks from various websites (again, legally)... they are showing up in my itunes library but every time i try to drag them onto my phone it doesn't work. my computer is authorized and i've tried everyhting else i can think of... can anyone help? i have windows 8 and my itunes and iOS are both updated fully, if that makes any difference. thanks!

    The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    There is no free, or Apple supported,  way to extract any other music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    Iphone sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

  • How can I get songs (from CDs) on my Nano onto my laptop?  Do I have to rip all the CD's again just becasue I'm using a different computer?

    How can I get all my songs (from CDs) onto my laptop from my Nano?
    Do I have to rip all those CDs again even though they are on the Nano?
    I thought I was allowed to have multiple PCs and use the sync feature.  Yet when I plug in the Nano the message says it will sync to what's on my laptop which are only a few songs I've purchased!!
    I thought Apple was better than that?!  And to think I was going to purchase an iPad!  But if I can't synch my music to other devices, why bother.
    In order to get my music to iCloud via iMatch, I guess I have to rip them all again!  What a pain in the butt...:(

  • Help please!  I can't get songs from icloud onto my laptop.

    Hi, I have had a terrible time with my music and iTunes of late. All of which I am sure is because I have installed and unistalled so many times in the last 3 weeks that
    I have created a huge mess. I can see the songs in itunes - (most have been purchased) but when I try to listen to them, put them in a playlist and try to burn a cd- I get a message stating that they are not on my computer. I have been trying to download songs from the icloud to my laptop and I get a message that states:
    The file name was invalid or too long. Please check that connection to the network is active and try again.
    or
    There were problems downloading some purchase items.
    Before this whole nightmare began I had added "google drive" to my computer and I think that alot of the files are stored there. When I open the music folder the thread goes on and on.and on.. So frustrated. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I fixed my problem - yours might be different, but it might be the same too . . . My problem was similar to what you described. The hardware connected sound was there but the device seemed to not be recognized. Turned out that it was just running very very very very very slowly (thinking that it was an old as hell Iomega Zip dri've)
    The Creative device was using a driver written by Iomega (that was the tip off)
    Once I got rid of the Iomega stuff, it works fine.
    If you have any slower (older?) mass storage dri'ves - you might try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem . . .
    good luck

  • Can't delete songs from library on iTunes9 Windows

    I follow the directions for deleting songs from the library but nothing happens when I press delete button. I highlight the song and press delete but don't get the next option of whether to delete it from the computer or not. Nothing happens. Any tips?

    "Library" is highlighted? I can't highlight "LIBRARY" on my panel on my left side. The first thing I can select is "Music":
    The reason I belabor this point, is that if you're looking at your main collection of music from the iTunes app, hitting the delete button (or right-clicking and select "Delete") should work fine. But if you're working with a smart playlist, you cannot just delete, because presence in the playlist is controlled by rules, not by adding or deleting files from the playlist. If you really want to delete from not only the smart playlist, but the entire iTunes library (and your disk), you can shift-delete and that can delete something in a smart playlist from your entire library.

  • Can't get music from library to iPod

    Ok, I hope someone can help me out a little here. I tried to use my iPod as an external hard drive so that I could migrate my music from old CPU to new CPU. Somehow, I've managed to clear the music from my iPod (but not library). Now, I can't get my music back onto my iPod b/c it says there's insufficient memory.
    Any ideas?

    Try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    This will completely erase the iPod hard drive.

  • How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

    Help!  I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
    M

    I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
    I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

  • How can I get songs from one laptop to another?

    I have all my music from one iTunes, and to put the songs in the iPod and then in the other computer using "transfer purchases" isn't working as it is only transferring apps. That's why I need to get it from one computer to another. Thank you.
