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 podcasts to iPod nano

I've read several similar problems of being unable to transfer podcasts from iTunes to an iPod nano, but none of them seems to help. I've tried the 5 R's (reset, retry, restart, reinstall and restore) with no success. The latest versions of the iTunes and iPod software have been installed. I've tried all 3 options for transferring podcasts to the iPod (update all automatically, update selected automatically and update manually), and none of them work. The only problem I've noticed is that when I try to set it to manual update and press OK, I get an error message saying (I can't remember the exact words) that it can't be done because I don't have sufficient privileges, but I'm using the Administrator account and besides, the next time I look at Options the correct selection has been made - but the drag and drop method doesn't work in this mode. Is there anything I haven't tried? Is there something wrong with the iPod?

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

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.

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.

Since downloading newest itunes I can't transfer podcasts from desktop to ipod. ***??

I got the newest itunes version and since then when I download a podcast to my desktop I can't transfer it to my ipod. I used to drag it over with no problem. Now I just get the circle with a line. Can't open on itunes, can't put it in music library. ***??

Are you using automatic syncing to load the iPod? Or do you load the iPod manually (by dragging items to the iPod in iTunes)?
Automatic syncing is the more convenient way to do it. To sync automatically, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Podcasts tab. This is where you tell iTunes how you want podcasts synced to your iPod. You can get pretty specific, down to the level of individual podcast episodes. You should also set up the Music tab, to tell iTunes how you want your music library synced to your iPod. When you click Apply, your iPod will load ("sync") based on how you set up those tabs. Going forward, any changes that you make to your iTunes library (that related to those tabs) will sync automatically, when you connect the iPod or click the Sync button.
If you want to load the iPod manually, on the Summary tab, you need to check the checkbox that says Manually manage music (and Apply the change). If it's currently not checked, the iPod is set for automatic syncing, so you cannot drag items to the iPod in iTunes to load them.

How can I transfer podcasts from my iPod to my iTunes library?

I have what I believe are called "phantom podcasts" - there are 1022 podcasts on my iPod from KEXP Song of the Day. For some reason, these 1022 podcasts do not show up anywhere in my iTunes library, nor on my computer. I'd like to transfer them from my iPod to my MacBook so I can listen to them and delete whichever ones I dislike. This is taking up way too much space on my iPod.
I've tried creating a Smart Playlist per an online suggestion to no avail. They're nowhere to be found, except on my iPod.
Thanks.

Hello Lo-fiChick,
The KEXP Song of the Day podcast can be located and subscribed to in iTunes on your computer via the following link. Once subscribed, the podcasts can be downloaded to your computer and removed from your iPod.
KEXP Song of the Day
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kexp-song-of-the-day/id121393815?mt=2
To ease the process of downloading such a large number of episodes, you can adjust the podcast settings once subscribed to 'Keep: All Episodes' and 'Download: All Episodes.'

Why can't I manually transfer podcasts onto ipod?

I have an ipod classic, and I'm trying to move selected podcasts onto it by clicking and dragging.
It looks like it should work, but nothing goes onto my ipod. If I add the podcasts to a playlist and then add the playlist, then I can get the podcasts to move onto the ipod, but does anyone know why I can't do it the normal way?
I don't want to sync all my episodes as then I'll lose most of them because they're from another computer that died.

This seems very similar (if not identical) to my issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725691&tstart=0
Has Apple removed the ability to manually select and delete individual Podcasts on your iPod via iTunes? And if so, why on earth would they do that? It can't be a "feature" can it?
I don't want to have to delete Podcast episodes from my harddrive/iTunes library simply to delete them from my iPod; I maintain a large library of Podcasts, and I like to manually move them to the iPod when I feel like listening to them in the car or whatever, and deleting them later (from the iPod only, not from iTunes).
I'm about ready to downgrade back to iTunes 6...

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.

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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

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 files to iPod Shuffle since latest iTunes update

AFAIK, the only way to add a file such as a song or podcast to my ipod shuffle is to right-click the file and scroll down to 'Add to Playlist' and then there should be an icon for the ipod shuffle there among the playlists. But since the lates update, even though it is connected, the icon does not appear, and so I have no way to add specific tracks to my ipod shuffle.
Anyone know what to do?

I tried another way but it didn't work. I tried to autofill from a playlist, but I got a message saying that autofill didn't work because no files in the playlist can be transferred to the ipod.
Now I'm going to try restoring it to the factory settings. This is really annoying.

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.
