Can't sync mp3's to ipod

I downloaded some mp3's and I was only able to put a couple of them onto my ipod touch 5g (with ios7). It doesn't work to just drag and put it in the ipod. And if I tried to sync it but it's stuck on step 5 and doesn't ever finish.

Two other things to check.
1. You will need to turn your iPod Touch on and choose Settings and then General and then Restrictions. Make sure that the restrictions for the App-Installation are not activated.
2. Are there any apps on the iPod at present at all? If Yes then how many pages of Apps do you have? Are the new Apps that you are trying to install compatible with the OS version that is currently on your iPod Touch?

  • How to sync mp3 files to ipod when music stored in lossless

    I would like to be able to convert my music collection, 300 GB in lossless, to mp3 to put on my 160 GB ipod. Can this be done and maintain the original file on my mac?

    Create MP3 copies of the Apple Lossless songs in iTunes, and transfer only the MP3s to the iPod. You can't convert on the fly when syncing to an iPod other than the iPod shuffle, and the iPod shuffle method produces AACs.

  • Can't transfer mp3 files to ipod

    Hi folks,
    two months ago I left the WIndows world and migrate to MacOS purchasing an iMAC (MacOS 10.6).
    It's simply perfect!
    However, I am an addicted user of Windows based recording software that enables you to record radio broadcasts.
    Well, I simply implemented VMWare Fusion with a WIndows XP guest system. The recording of radio programmes works fine and I am able to transfer the mp3 data from the Windows XP guest to MacOS host.
    iTunes can play these mp3 files but I am not able to transfer these files to my ipod!?
    I know this is a rather unusual scenario.
    But is there anybody who can give me a clue what to do??
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    Best regards from Germany to the rest of the Mac world

    Hi Diane,
    thanks for your reply.
    In fact, your question put me on right path.
    I used to transfer files to my ipod by syncing a special playlist. However, my ipod was configured in such a way that it only allows podcasts to be transferred. Well, as soon as I allowed music files (i.e. mp3 files) to be transferred, my problem was solved.
    Thanks for your support & Greetings from the Rhine area in Germany to the famous music city

  • I can't sync playlists from my iPod 5th gen to my iTunes library on new laptop

    I have a new laptop and have managed to move all my music to it and install iTunes and all the albums are correct and present, but it was a bit complicated. I'm not sure if we missed a step in moving everything via a larger hard drive, but my playlists were not transferred and even though my iTunes recognises my iPod 5th gen it won't actually sync. I have run the diagnostic test, it says it's all fine. It won't sync new purchases and I can't copy playlists from my iPod back into the iTunes library. I have 15 playlists and I don't want to do it all over again. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I did find that if I bought new songs from iTunes that I could transfer them to playlists on my iPod, but otherwise when I connect the iPod, under settings (on the left under the device icon) if I select music, it brings up the tick box for sync music. If I try to tick that box, it asks if I am sure if I want to remove existing music and sync with this iTunes library.

  • HT201745 There is no support in the website of apple ( a famous company for namesake) for resolving the problems arising out of latest version of itunes.   I find no button for sync in the new window of itunes then how can I sync music to my ipod classic.

    Sir,
                   On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently.  But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version).  My ipod serial No.is  8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel.  I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system.  How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod.  Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod.  What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.

    Hello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • I can't sync photos to my Ipod Classic...help?

    I've just got a new Ipod Classic and I can sync songs and Podcasts OK, but I can't sync any photos. The "sync" symbol looks active when I'm sending the photos over, but when I check my Ipod later...nothing at all!!! It's driving me nuts...suggestions anyone?

    I had the same Problem, very frustrating until you realize what it was. My simple fix was!
    On your IPOD go to

    Photos (probably set to off)
    Turn ON

  • New version of iTunes can't sync or see my iPod Touch

    I have been using my iPod Touch with iTunes for a few years (PC Windows) then I updated my computer and got the latest version of iTunes. Now, I can't add or delete songs to my iPod Touch. When I try to sync the iPod Touch, songs I've added to the iTunes library don't get added to the iPod Touch. Similar problem with trying to delete songs. I can't even seem to delete them from the I created a new Apple ID and authorised my new computer. My iPod Touch however doesn't appear as a device in iTunes. What do I need to do to get my iPod Touch communicating with this new version of iTunes?

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Can't Sync "All Contacts" with iPod Touch 2nd Generation

    I have an older 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) and a 2011 MacAir running Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) and the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).  The Contacts application on the MacAir is syncing the "All on my Mac" group (84 contacts) with my iPod, rather than syncing with "All Contacts" (100 contacts).  Is there a way to change this?  I never setup the "All on my Mac" group so I don't know how that group got defined.  I assumed it appeared as part of the Mountain Lion (or Lion) upgrades, but I'm not sure.   I realize that iTunes provides the option of syncing with "All" or "Selected Groups"  I have selected "All" but am still only getting the contacts from the "All on my Mac" group rather than "All Contacts."
    P.S. Since the 2nd Gen iPod Touch cannot run iOS5 I can only sync through USB cable...no iCloud.

    For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

  • Can I sync this version of iPod to the iCloud so my music is synced to my iPad?

    Can I sync my iPod Nano (6th version) to the iCloud so I can share my music with my iPad?

    Your proof is your receipt.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    An unhandled win32 exception occured in iTunes.exe [4740]. JIT debugging this exception failed with the following error : No installed debugger has JIT debugging enabled. In Visual Studio, JIT debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time.
    Check the documention index for 'JIT debugging, errors' for more information...
    I tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes...no luck.
    I tried to rename the file : vsjitdebugger.exe to see if it helps (found that by googling), it stops the error popup but iTunes was still crashing at the same place...
    I'm lost...
    Can someone help please?

    I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio.
