CAN'T TRANSFER CDS TO IPOD

When I put a cd in, it comes up in itunes, I imported it and little green checks come up next to each song. Seems successful.. but when I try to drag it onto my ipod (which works fine for Mp3s I already have on my computer) I get an error message saying the songs cannot be played on the ipod. I left-clicked on songs and converted to AAC, which looks to be the same as importing (is it?). I have searched all kinds of forums and cannot find anything about it. Am I simply missing a step?

I figured it out.. you have to go to the library, THEN drag the files.. you can't drag them from the CD even after they've been imported.. simple enough, I just didn't play around with it enough before I posted. Sorry.

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

How can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4

how can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4??

Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content. If you want to transfer the game data as well, perform a backup and restore.

My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop? PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps

Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer

Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer files as it crashed.

For purchased songs you can plug the iPod into you new computer and use the "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" feature in iTunes. For music not purchased from the iTunes store you will need a third party program to help. There are a few of them out there, and they are easy to find on Google.

How can I transfer songs from ipod to itunes

I just found my old ipod and I want to transfer those old songs into my itunes and put it into my other idevices?
,Thank You

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Can't transfer itunes to ipod

I can't transfer any of my musit in iTunes to my ipod anymore. I've tried everything.

You can not sync with another library. You can also do what the other two people said and manage it yourself. But another thing that you can do is use a program called "iPodDisk." It is free and it will allow you to add those songs from your sister's house onto your computer and re-sync it with your computer. You can get iPodDisk at:

Can't transfer playlists to ipod with new iTunes

Hi,
I've just upgraded to iTunes 11.0,0.163 on a Wiundows 7 PC.
Since the upgrade I can't transfer any playlists across to my ipod.
I select my ipod then select "Add To". I then try to drag the playlist over to the ipod (as per the tutorial video) but nothing happens.
I've tried a number of playlists with the same result. All was working fine yesterday prior to the upgrade.

Well now I feel like a complete idiot......
I've just realised that I was trying to drag Albums rather then Playlists.

Can't Transfer App to iPod? iPod must have Installing Applications ON

If you can't transfer iTunes app to iPod or check the iTunes box for "Automatically Install New Apps", make sure your iPod has the setting for "Installing Applications" set to ON. (Settings --> General --> Restrictions --> Installing Applicatons == "ON").
I had wrongly assumed this item setting applied to installation of iPod Apps directly from the Internet, not through the PC. I was wrong. Others might need to know this as well.

The Restrictions applies to both direct download and syncing.

Can't transfer movie to iPod

I got a digital download with a Bluray purchase and (regrettably) decided to download it through itunes. I thought it would then be an easy transfer to my iPod Classic. This was not the case, however. When I try to transfer it, a pop says "'Movie' was not copied to the ipod ('my ipod') because it cannot be played on this ipod."
I've seen some people say that the "Create a new version" has worked for them, but when I go there, all the options are greyed out.
Please, can anyone help?
Thank you!

Hello, LaylaSparrow.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you received a Digital Copy when you purchased a Blu-ray movie and are running into an issue syncing to your iPod Classic. I am curious if you are going straight to the Create an iPod version option or are you selecting the movie and then selecting the Create an iPod version? The attached article below may help walk you through this process.

Can't Transfer Video to iPod

I have an 160 gb iPod Classic (format Windows 8) and cannot transfer video podcasts from iTunes to my iPod. I have verified I have the current version of iTunes and iTunes says my iPod has version 2.0.4 which it says is the current version. I can play video podcasts from "NOVA Science Video Podcast", "Science Channel Video" and "Science Friday Video Podcast" on iTunes but they won't transfer to my iPod Classic. I have noticed the videos create mp4 files on my local hard drive. I have tried the option on iTunes to "Create New Version" and then select "Create iPod or iPhone Version" and the video still won't transfer to my iPod Classic. What should I do to make these podcasts transfer to my iPod Classic?
George

I figured it out. I went to play the video directly from iTunes rather than trying to transfer it to the iPod. I got a message I am not authorized, just like before. But this time it asked me if i want to authorize it. I clicked yes, obviously and voila...successful authorization. Now I can play it on my computer and iPod. Sorry for wasting everyone's time with this.

Can't transfer podcasts to iPod

To my dismay I suddenly find that I can't transfer material from my computer to my iPod nano. I have it set on manual transfer. I haven't changed computers and I have the same iPod, after the latest software update I just can't transfer podcasts from the iTunes list to the iPod by dragging the item to the iPod list in the left column. It shows the + sign but the items don't show up on the iPod. Did the update break iTunes? Anybody know what's wrong here?

It appears as if I've solved the problem, thanks to a reply to another post (sorry I haven't got time to try and find it). It involved going to the iTunes store and downloading the free download (song) of the week. Unfortunately, it also involved giving my credit card number, which I don't like to do. Anyway, after downloading this song my iPod appeared to have all of the podcasts which were previously only in iTunes. I have no idea why this worked, because it didn't in the post I mentioned.

Can't transfer photos to iPod

I have a 60 gig colour display iPod.
On my iBook laptop, iTunes>Preferences>iPod, "Photo" doesn't appear. Therefore I can't transfer Photos to my iPod.
I have iPhoto 4.03 & iTunes 4.9.
On another computer "Photo" DOES come up in iTunes>Preference>iPod
I don't get why it ain't happening.
Thanks

Have you designated a "pictures" folder in your preferences? Have you added pictures to this folder? What happens when you try to add pictures? We're going to need more information about your problem before we can help.
