Can't send music to iPod Touch from iTunes?

hi all, this has been bothering me for a few weeks now and i can't figure it out.
i've been trying to send mp3s to my iPod Touch and i just can't get it done. i'm running the newest iTunes with a fully updated iPod Touch 4th gen. it's connected via the Apple supplied cable into my Mac Mini.
can i just paste mp3's onto the iPod Touch like i can in Windows with a standard mp3 player? iTunes just seems to make things really complicated for me.
i'd appreciate any help.
thanks a lot!

i've had to download an App called 'air play it' just to listen to my mp3s while im in the living room because i can't send mp3s to my iPod Touch.
'air play it' only acts as a streamer though so i can't copy songs from my Mac to the iPod Touch.
thanks

Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes.

Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes. iTunes recognizes the iPod. I've gone to File>Devices>Sync and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. It shows that it is downloading, but once complete and I go back to check, still not there in either case.
Also, I updated my Windows XP laptop with the new iTunes 11, all the music is there from before and even added a couple more CDs (thought it was all on the laptop). I turn the laptop off, come back next day, music is all gone and is now found in iCloud. I didn't want it to be transferred to iCloud, but I must have missed a checked box or something. Any idea on how to un-iCloud all of that music that should still be on my laptop? Otherwise, how do I Home Share from iCloud (Windows XP) to iTunes on Windows 7?
As for Home Sharing, it's hit or miss. I found where you are to hit the Alt button to access Home Sharing on my Windows 7 laptop, it worked 1 time and now I can't find the Home Sharing in the Playlist Section or Music, nothing. Really?!?! Come on Apple, can't you do better than that! I'm getting really frustrated here! It seems I can only Home Share to my Windows XP laptop, but not vice versa - XP to Windows 7. Really?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how I could possibly get this all to work? Btw, isn't iCloud suppose to automatically download to your iPod anyway? Well, it doesn't.
Frustrated!

Do they play in iTunes?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Try unsyncing and resyning

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
"Syncing Photos from a Mac
To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
* If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
* If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
* If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
Hope this helps!

Can't Sync Music to iPod Touch

I am having issues syncing or adding music to my iPod Touch. So here's what happened... I was adding new music to the iPod. I select an album and drag & drop it onto my iPod Touch in iTunes to sync the music onto my iPod. While it's syncing that album I drag and dropped another album to be synced. Once I did this all syncing ended. Afterwards I can't sync anything at all onto my iPod Touch.
I've restarted my iPod by holding the power button and home button at the same time. I've turned the device off by holding the sleep button in until it gives me the option to turn the device off. I've restarted iTunes too. The only thing that temporarily helped was updating to iOS 7.1.2, but afterwards the same issues persisted.
Specs
iOS 7.1.2
iTunes 11.2.2.3
iPod Touch 5th Generation
32 GB

hi there. thanks for responding. my answers underlined
What happens when you try to sync? it looks like it's working, but maybe it's just syncing from ipod TO imac not the other way round, not sure.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
yes i think so. the imac is new to us, and previously i THINK the ipod was sync'd to our pc
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
no
Do the songs play in iTunes?
yes
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
yes
does that narrow anything down ??
thanks again

Can not watch movie downloaded to Ipod touch from Itunes

Hi,
I am very frustrated; have talked to Apple 3 times now. I have purchased movies from Itunes and synced them to my Ipod. When I look at the movie photo in the display it reads "Invalid" and when I tap the movie picture the message says Movie can not be viewed. I loaded a SD movie. I have the updated Itunes 9 and I recently installed Itunes again. Can anyone help me??? I purchased the unit in July of 09 (16G). I have "Erased all content and settings" hoping that would help. I am able to purchase and sync Apps and music from Itunes to the unit but can not do movies. I am not able to play the purchased movie on my computer either...just a blank, black screen. Can anyone help? thanks,

Can't add music to ipod touch even though computer and itunes recognize it

I have an ipod touch 4th generation that has suddenly stopped allowing me to add any music to it. It worked absolutely great with no problems for about a year and suddenly when I load it up on itunes I can't add any music to it at all. if I try and drag any music from my computer on to it, I get this no icon as you can see
Same if I try and add music from my itunes library.
I've done pretty much everything I can think of to try and fix this, I've completely wiped itunes from my computer and re-installed, I've made sure that my ipods ios is up to date, I've reset my ipod, I've completely erased my ipod and restored it to factory settings. I have an old backup but it fails every time I try and restore it, saying that the backup session failed. I've tried resetting the lockdown folder as recommended but when I delete it, itunes can't connect to my ipod, so I ended up restoring the lockdown folder back to where it was from my trash can. I've made sure all my drivers are up to date and my computer is AMD so i know its not an intel chipset/ipod issue. I've turned off my antivirus and computer security programs and that made no difference at all.
These problems are the same when tried on another computer and I'm sure I've done other things as well but I'm drawing a blank trying to think them up.
I have an old ipod mini that has absolutely no problems at all using the same itunes and computer so I'm pretty sure this issue is located just on this ipod. I bought it used on amazon so the warranty and service coverage have already expired, so I kinda have to figure out how to fix it myself..
Anybody help at all with this would be greatly appreciated

I don't see how it could be windows causing the issue since my other ipod works fine with this installation of windows on this computer and I don't at the moment have anyway to back up what I have on my computer in order to re-install windows, but maybe if nobody else has another solution I'll look into it. Thank you for your help and suggestions

My question last time didn't get answered. Can I send in my iPod touch for a new one if I have a two year warranty?

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging, when I plug in my charger I've always used. It's an apple product and a message pops up saying "This accessory may not be supported" The charger isn't the problem because my mom used her iPhone with my charger and her phone charges fine with it. For Christmas, I got a portable charger and I used it the day after Christmas for a little bit and it worked, but then 20 minutes later my brother wanted to use it. So I let him use it. Then I went to go use my normal charger instead and when I plugged it in that message popped up. It's been like this sense the day after Christmas and the only way it charges is right before I swipe right to turn my iPod all the way off I plug my charger in real fast before the message can pop up. I've tried resetting my iPod, cleaning out the area it charges, and few other things. I've also tried getting help from people that work with technology at some stores. They all told me I had to contact Apple Support Communities. I'm trying to contact you guys, but last time I did it didn't solve my problem. I really want to get an answer to be able to fix it or have it replaced. I'm 13 and saved all my money on my own to get the iPod have. It took me a long time to save and I really don't it to be broken and not be able to get it replaced. Someone please help my resolve this.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time

HT1238 can't transfer music to ipod touch

Since reinstalling windows on my pc, i can't add / remove music from my sons ipod touch..

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. the iPod sees you rebuilt computer as a new computer/library.. Thus, follow these instructions

Music on iPod disappeared from iTunes library. It stays on iPod even when I sync. Can I get it back in iTunes?

Thank you to anyone who can help me with this. When I got my iPod touch a few months ago, I first imported music from CDs into iTunes. I then created playlists and hooked up my iPod and synched it. My music library and playlists no longer appear in iTunes. When I sync my iPod, the songs and playlists still remain on my iPod. Is there any way to get the songs and playlists to show in iTunes again?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Or, if the media isn't on your computer any longer...
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How to add music to my iPod Touch from iTunes 11?????

I can't seem to drag and drop music files from my iTunes to my ipod touch generation 5 by using the drag and drop method.
How can I add songs,If I can't use the drag and drop method?
Nothing seems to work.
How should I fix this problem?????!
I am going to travel soon,I need to add new songs before my departure.
Please help me ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

Step 1: Click on the Ipod button in the top right corner. (Make sure Ipod/AnyAppleDevice is connected)
Step 2: In the top right corner again there should be a blue button that says "Done" and then right underneath that there should be something that says "Add to..." click on that.
Step 3: After you click on that it should look something like this (picture below). So from here is where you can add music to your ipod/itouch/ipad/AnyAppleDevice. Also in the top left corner where it says "Music", you can click on that and change the types of media (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts/Apps) to add to your device.
I hope I answered your question with this.

Putting music on iPod Touch from a computer other than the main one

Is it possible to put music from my mac on to my friend's iPod touch without ruining her contacts and/or deleting the music she already has on there. Also, she uses a PC to sync her iPod normally. Should this be a problem?
Also, can I not put on my photos, contacts and iCal events?

You can view and listen to your music library from another computer with Home Sharing turned on. To turn on Home Sharing in iTunes, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing for both computers. This is for iTunes 11. If you are running an older iTunes, go to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.

TS2755 cant send messages to ipod touch from ipad

I am trying to send my daughter messages through the ipad, but the send button only slightly lights up blue, and wont let me send. I can send anything from my iphone.......and I will receive her messages on both.

does your daughter have the latest iOS on her iPod touch and is she connected to the internet?
The iPad and iPod touch can only send iMessages (blue) when connected to the internet, your mobile phone will usually always have a connection due to have a 3G connection.
If your iPad is the WiFi only model then it needs to be connected to the WiFi network as does the iPod Touch to send and receive.
The 3G versions will need to have the 3G turned on to send standard texts.
The iPhone will fall back to sending standard text messages if it has no internet connection, but again it needs the receiver to have an internet connection too.
