Can't not copy my music in i tunes to my ipod

Got a ipod touch for xmas, everybody told me it was easy to import songs from my computer to ipod, well they lied.  First when i open itunes, got a message saying i needed a new version, so i installed it, now i have 2 versions of i tunes,  and when i connect my ipod and follow the directives, could not even see the 'setting panes' or configure the the sync setting.
A few people tried, but i think they made it worse.  Now i have a brand new ipod, but can't not put my 400 songs in it and picture.  Please help
Also, when i connect my ipod to my computer, it recognize it as a camera.
Thanks for you help

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.
If iTunes does not see the iPod:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
It is normal and expected for the computer to see the iPod as a camera. That is how you download photos from the iPod to the computer.

  • Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC?

    Help! Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC? It was working fine a week ago, did not install or delete anything in this time, the options from the pull down menu are ghosted, ctrl+c ctrl+v doesnt work. I could use paste special from the pull down menu and did.  Paste special worked once, now is ghosted too.

    Try renaming the Configuration folder to Configuration-backup.
    The folder can be found as in http://www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/

  • Was not copied because it cannot be played on this ipod

    I am getting this message when I try to put songs on my ipod.
    I have had the ipod for over a year and have never had any problems until now.
    I bought an album of iTunes Store, burned an audio CD,imported it into iTunes as MP3 and tried to put the mp3 files on my ipod, but I keep getting the message This song was not copied because it cannot be played on this ipod, This has never happened before, any help appreciated. This is the way I have always managed my purchased music, has something changed within iTunes to stop you from doing this??

    I'm having the same problem with files purchased from Apple, burned to CD, then imported as .mp3 files. The problem just started recently. This needs a fix as it is very annoying and makes me want to ditch this IPod.
    The two solutions proposed in this forum will work but...
    Rebuilding the library is very time consuming when you have a library with 30 GB. The other work around of removing files from the library then reimporting them also works, but is very time intensive for multiple files. Is there a way to get word to the folks who can fix this??
    Thanks to those who offered the solutions.

  • "Video was not copied  because it cannot be played on this Ipod"...help!!

    I recently tried syncing a video to my Ipod touch 2nd gen and it displays the message "video was not copied because it cannot be played on this Ipod" in Itunes. I have looked everywhere for an answer and nobody seems to have the same problem. I've tried restoring my Ipod and stuff, nothing seems to work. Can someone help?

    Since upgrading to ios4 I have been having problems with my itouch. Now some pod casts will not download. Some, like BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy, I have been downloading and playing for months without any problem. I now get the message "cannot be played on this ipod". I have not tried downloading through itunes but this doesn't really help me as I like to download podcasts at coffeshops etc as I want to listen to them. I feel that there are serious problems with ios4 that Apple is not addressing. Has anyone come up with a fix as I see others having similar trouble? I have already tried resting the itouch but all I accomplished was losing a lot of data from some of my apps.

  • Where can I find, unplugged / acoustic music in it tunes? There doesn't seem to be very much available.

    Where can I find, unplugged / acoustic music in it tunes? There doesn't seem to be very much available.

    What's available is what the record companies and artists have licensed Apple to sell in your country. There is no genre for "acoustic" or "unplugged", though, so what is there may be a bit tricky to find. You can try doing a Power Search with "unplugged" or "acoustic" in the album title field, but that will of course only find those albums which have those words actually in the title. Otherwise, you may have to look for album titles for acoustic music on some other site and then look for the specific album in the iTunes Store.

  • "TV show can't be copied because it cannot be played in this iPod"Help Me!

    I just purchased Dexter Season 1, episode 1, on iTunes and I am currently trying to sync it to my 1st gen ipod touch. Whenever i click sync tv show, the error message "TV show can't be copied because it cannot be played in this iPod" appears. I've searched the support forums and cannot find a solution. I have tried logging out and back in and I've also switched the episode from HD to SD. Still no luck. Someone please help me, it would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Did you actually download the SD version? You need to download the correct version to iTunes before you can sync it to your touch.

    this also happen with my iPhone 4.. I've used the same laptop for both and same iTunes account x

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I can see music on home sharing, but I can not copy the music from the imac, to macbook?

    I can see and play the music from the imac, on the macbook. However, I want to add the music to the library on the macbook so I can have it even when the macbook is not "in range" for homesharing? How can I copy the shared liabary to the macbook?
    Thank you.

  • Re: Why can I not assign specific music to a slideshow?

    I thought that I had tried everything, until I came across this Thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446667&tstart=0
    It was just the simple-dimple problem and once I followed the lori steps, I "found" the library music.
    So simple. So dumb.
    Thank You Very Much!
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher
    Oh, is there any way to find the default music that comes w/slideshow. I'd like to use it in an iTunes folder together w/another song, as the default tune is too short. I know I have to put them both in the same folder/album, but I can't find that default music?
    Ok, found it. It's called "Acoustic Sunrise.aif" (yeah, I know it's lame but it fits in well with the first part of my slideshow), but I can't get to it. Any advice would be appreciated. Path='/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Jingles

    Bill:
    The default music is located in the iPhoto (application package)/Contents/Resources/Music folder. You open the iPhoto package by Control-clicking on the application and selecting "Show package contents" from the Contextual menu. You can add tracks to that folder is you want a different default song.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • I have a new pc, can i not upload my music from ipod straight onto new pc??

    Please tell me there is a way around this??? I couldnt face uploading all the cds again!!

    Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

    If you iPod is set to automatically update and you plug it into iTunes, a message will pop up telling you that your iPod is linked to another library. It will ask if you want to sync and replace all your music. Make sure you hit NO. If you sync with an empty library, then your iPod will also end up empty, because when it syncs it makes an exact copy of your library.
    Goodluck, hope something works for ya

  • Why can I not listen to music on iTunes using my iphone

    I sync my music to my phone at home then bring my phone to work. When I plug in my phone to my desktop at work, my music doesn't show up in iTunes. This works perfectly on my iPod. I am able to sync music at home and bring my iPod to work and listen to it via iTunes.

    That's not cool. The iPod was able to do that, why would they make the iPhone any different?
    I don't want to sync to two computers though. I'm literally syncing to one computer and just plugging it in to another computer to listen to the music on the phone.

  • Movie was not copied because it cannot be played on this ipod

    I have seen this posted a couple times but no one ever seems to post a solution.
    I bought a couple tv shows from itunes. I try and sync my iPhone4 running ios5, and I get an error that says "**** was not copied to the ipod ** because it cannot be played on this device".
    A couple posts mentions to go to Advanced and "Convert to iphone/ipod" but this option is grayed out and not available?
    Is there anything I can do? Is there a way to find out this is going to happen before buying these?
    Help Please!!

    Or you talking about making sure the movie is SD version?
    Yes.
    Make sure you are trying to load an SD (standard definition) version, not an HD version.

  • "Was not copied...cannot be played on this iPod."

    For some reason I cannot copy some of my songs to my iPod touch for I don't know what reason. The file is not corrupt, the file is there, plays in itunes and its an MP3 format, file isn't to big and I still have 29GB left. Try to transfer it over and it says "...was not copied to the iPod -insert name of ipod here- because it cannot be played on this iPod."
    Can anyone help me here?

    Is it that the software that came with the shuffle in late 2008 can't deal with ALE files?
    That or a hardware limitation.
    If so, is there a place I can upgrade the shuffle software?
    No. Click here and follow the instructions.
