Can't put any music on external memory card.

Hello. I've just got this phone and please help me fix this problem.
I can't put any music on my ext sd card. I tried to do this via copy / paste and via media go. Tried rebooting, formatting still not working. Also build in tool for moving music etc to sd card fails.
When I try to transfer music on to sd card by media go the end result is no music recognized by Walkman app and two folders are created. "Music" ( with nothing inside) and "albums" with files named by the names of the albums I've transfered.
I tried deleting .nomedia but after reboot it's there again ( on the sd) in some strangely named folder.
Also after copying the music to the ext sd LOST.DIR folder is filled with some files ( looks like this is my music)
I think that's all information I can give you now. Please ask questions if needed.
Thanks for any kind of help!
Solved!

Hi Ephixi4,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines
Have you tried this with an alternative SD card, as this may simply be that the SD card is not working correctly.

I just got my new iPhone 5 yesterday; after setting it up, I can't put any music from my itunes library on my iPhone

I have Windows 7 on my computer, and my iTunes is the latest version. My new phone has the latest version also. When I go to the Music tab in iTunes under my phone, the only option is Sync voice memos. What the heck? I bought the largest phone so I could have all my music on my phone also. My music library is on an external hard drive but it's on the network and I my phone should have access to it.
I want to get this completed sometime before next year.

You need to use a different Apple ID for iCloud.
Create a new Apple ID https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
On your iPhone enter the new Apple ID in Settings > iCloud > Account.
You can all continue to use the original Apple ID for iTunes and App Store.

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I have an I phone 3g and I downloaded the newest software and I can't get any music to play. I can't change my playlists and the songs I have on the phone just get skipped over. What can I do to correct this?

it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,

I have a new Iphone 5
Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
Also tried manual
TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
Also tried with a new CD
No fault during sync, but no music

Good.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

How can I put my music from iTunes Gallery into my iPod?

I had another iPod which broke, so I exchanged it for another one. On the previous iPod, I had purchased music which were stored on my iTunes gallery. Now, I can't put the music back into my newer iPod. Helpp?

Unfortunately, when I plug it in and press sync, it only syncs the music I bought from the new iPod. Also, I did check the button that says 'Entire music Gallery'.
