Can't move music from iTunes store onto my poor old iPod (2004)

I have an old click wheel iPod (more than 3yrs old) and I am having trouble moving songs I purchased from iTunes store onto it. they download fine onto my PC (I Know, I know, I'm buying a MacBook soon).
I keep getting an error message saying I cannot move these songs onto my iPod as that machine is not authorised (and this is the only device I have tried so it can't be the more than 5 issue). It this because my iPod it too old?
Help, as I have wasted a lot of money on music I can only listen to on my PC

Any help here?
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

    How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

    If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
    I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • How do I move music from itunes store for an old ipod to a new itouch device

    I just bought a new itouch, and wanted to transfer my music from itunes to new device.  do I just plug in and go or will it be a security issue?

    That's basically what you do...
    Connect the iPod and select it in iTunes.  If the iTunes sidebar is not showing, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Click on it to select it.
    With the iPod selected in iTunes, there is a row of buttons toward the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If the iTunes music library is small and fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  With this setting, everything in the iTunes music library syncs to the iPod.  Whenever you make a change to the iTunes library, such as adding new songs, iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes, the next time it is connected (or when you click the Sync button).  If this works for you, you don't have to read the rest.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  A convenient way to use this setting is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  You can call it "iPod Songs," or whartever you want.  From the iTunes music library, add the songs you want on the iPod, such as those iTunes Store purchases, to that playlist.  Back on the iPod's Music screen, find "iPod Songs" under Playlists, and select (checkmark) it.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, when you want to update the songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or when you click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • HT1329 Move music from iTunes on my iPad to my iPod

    I skuld like to Get my music on iTunes on my iPad to my iPod. Hos can I fix that?

    You need to copy the music from your iPod to an iTunes library on a PC or Mac first as you can not directly sync an iPod to an iPad. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How can I download music from itunes store at a higher bit rate than 128k?

    I have been able to import music from cd's at bit rates higher than 128kbs by clicking into the preferences item under the "edit" drop down menu. however, I have not been able to locate a similar command for itunes music downloads. is it possible to increase the bitrate of music downloads from itunes faster than 128kbps? if so, how?
    gateway   Windows XP   AMD 64

    No, store downloads have always been ONLY 128 kbps. With new deal between EMI & Apple, sometime next month you will be able to download EMI artists only at a higher bitrate without the DRM, for a slightly higher price. For now, though, all downloads are still 128 kbps. Your import settings only affect the CD's you rip your self. Hope this helps.

  • Can I move music from iTunes to iPhone 4S wirelessly? (ios 5)

    I know I could sync my apps but can I transfer my music from ripped cds to my Iphone 4S?

    If you're referring to wi-fi sync with iTunes, yes you can sync music or anything else you'd normally sync using the USB cable. Your iPhone needs to have the wi-fi sync option set (via iTunes, on the device's summary page), it must be on the same network as your iTunes library, de-select the iTunes option preventing auto-sync, and iTunes needs to be up and running of course.
    To manually initiate the wi-fi sync you don't need external power applied to your iPhone (unless your battery is low).  If you want this sync to occur automatically there are additional requirements (external power on the iPhone, and it seems you need the option "Automatically open iTunes when this device is connected" selected).

    I am trying to download music from itunes store. it does not however give me that option on the top of the screen. I can only get apps, books, podcasts and itunes u. No option for movies or music

    In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

    Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
    I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone.  When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do.  I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working.  I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it.  So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

    StoneMountainGirl,
    No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time.  If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

  • How can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

    how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

    Hi,
    Thanks.  I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones.  The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
    Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
    Thanks again.

  • ITunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.

    I have an iPad Mini and iTunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.
    'Manually manage videos' is ticked but then after each sync attempt it goes back to being unticked.
    'Sync only checked songs and videos' is also ticked and remains so.
    When I choose the movies to put on the iPad, it gives me an indication of how much space I have (enough), lets me sync and then goes back to zero.

    thanks jolieteddie, 
    FYI, I searched the side pane here after asking this question.  It seems someone gave an answer that worked for me.  I could not drag and drop a pdf from the desktop into iTunes or the Ipad2 directly for whatever reason.  However in iTunes on the main menu under Files>Add, I could navigate to the desktop and add the pdf that way, then sync Books with the iPad. This worked!
    I've attempted in the past to drag and drop videos, etc into iTunes and the iPad with no success. Somehow it never occurred to me to add them this way. Doh!
    Good tip.

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.
