Can't transfer songs from Itunes to Ipod

I'm trying to move songs from Itunes to my Ipod, and it's not moving them. Instead I'm getting an ! next to the songs. All of these songs used to be on my Ipod and I had to do a hard reset due to software corruption. Now it's not allowing me to add any of my old songs. I've updated both my Itunes and Ipod software. Any ideas?

I had the same problem,basically i had dragged and dropped the wrong folder into my itunes!This means the songs you've dragged in are essentially the titles but not the actual songs!!! I had to hunt all over to find the right one. Have a look at this link

  • I can't transfer songs from iTunes to iPod

    I had purchased several songs from iTunes and transferred them onto my iPod. One day, they just disappeared from my iPod, even though they're still in my Library. I've tried syncing my iPod manually and automatically, upgrading to new versions of iTunes, etc., but I can't get the songs back on my iPod. I've since imported a few more CDs into iTunes, and I can't transfer those to my iPod either, trying all the same methods. iTunes says that my iPod update is complete, but it's not. Any advice??

  • Can't Transfer ANYTHING from ITunes to IPod

    just in the last week or so i've been unable to transfer anything from itunes to my ipod. this includes podcasts and purchased music. i have no idea what the problem is. the other night i left the two to sync for at least 10 hours and when i checked it the next morning it was barely halfway through the first import. i also try to eject my ipod and my comp freezes and im forced to turn off my comp and restart my frozen ipod. (it stays in the 'do not disconnect' stage) i am running itunes 6, but this problem just started recently. i havent been able to update my ipod or load any new podcasts in forever, please help!!

    Okay, now I'm really unhappy. Since my last post a few days ago, I bit the bullet (really, I just needed the excuse) and bought a brand new 60 GB 5G video ipod. Connects via USB (annoying, but at least we are on completely different set of ports from the firewire), and guess what? THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR! All 8+ GB of my purchased music (and videos) does not transfer. The same error message about the iPod software being too old. This is truly ridiculous.
    My machine checks out okay with Diskwarrior, I've run Applejack repeatedly to fix permissions, clear the caches, check preference files, etc., cleared the pram, and have reset the machine via open firmware. I'm exasperated to say the least. I've even de- and re-authorized the computer for the music store.
    Now to add some complexity to this mess, my subscribed podcasts DO transfer over. Is this a DRM issue? Something about iTunes is wonky here. I'll keep poking around, but I'm having a very hard time with this being acknowledged as a problem. For many people, including me, this has been going on for several months.

  • How can I transfer songs from my old Ipod to my new one?

    I just bought a new ipod video from apple and I would like to transfer all of my songs from my old 3rd generation ipod to my new one, how can I do this?

    Download iRip, the program will detect your iPod then select "recover". If you have a firewire connection this will be fast. If you have a new iPod then you'll wait a little longer for your music to be ripped. When everything's recovered you eject the old iPod and connect the new one, drag'n drop, voilá. Don't forget to get rid of your music once you are sure it's installed -and maybe backuped in a external hard drive- so your computer memory won't be affected.
    I use mac, I'm noticing that you are windows, if this don't work, google "rip ipod" and you'll find something there. Hope it works!

  • Unable to transfer songs from itunes to iPod

    After a long time trying to get this iPod to function again,I am now unable to transfer some songs on to the iPod.When I attempt to drag and drop a song ,it doesnt want to know.Currently also,the iPod is not recognised by the desktop.Well!!!...It does when I connect it,then it dis appears.

    Well since your getting the "Sad ipod" face, you may have to sent it in for repair. That said, the "iTUnesDB is corrupt" message is covered here along with ways to have windows format the ipod (Link Below)
    Now if you do have to format the ipod with windows, when windows is done YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT WITH THE IPOD UPDATER BEFORE LOADING IT WITH ITUNES!!!!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    If you put the ipod in "Disk Mode" like the instructions say, and you can't get it to show in windows, you will have to disable the "iPodservice.exe" in task manager, format with windows THEN RESTART THE PC so the ipodservice is running again and you can restore it with the ipod updater

  • Can't update songs from itunes to ipod even after it shows ipod updated

    Plz help,Itunes show the songs being transfered to ipod
    but no new songs or playlists can be found in the ipod, this is happening since last 2 days

    Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If does not work
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC

  • Why won't a U2 CD I own transfer songs from iTunes onto iPod?

    New iPod user, first CD I tried to upload happened to be a U2 children's instrumental CD and iTunes says the songs won't play on my iPod. I converted them to AAC to try and fix it but that didn't do it. Is this only b/c it's U2 or symptom of something else?
    Thanks!
    Drew

    It is because U2 hates you!
    No wait, that's not it. Ok have you tried a second or third CD? Let's try that first, import a few CDs and see what happens, especially some old ones before CD copy protection schemes were tried. If ALL the stuff still doesn't go into the iPod, then it must be something up with iTunes, the iPod, or your setup. If the other ones go in and just not U2, then U2 really does hate you, err, ummm, I mean, there must be something about that one particular CD.

  • Please Help: Unable To Transfer Songs from Itunes To Ipod

    I've been plagued with problems every since Thursday when I was attempting to put new songs on my iPod. I got the dreaded sad face with the go to apple support site link. I've did the 5 R's but still no luck. I even reformatted it cause at one point in time I got a pop up telling me that the drive needed to be formatted. Well after doing this and updating it finally appeared to be operating correctly. I was able to load roughly three cd's on it before it went screwy again. I've ended up with the monochrome apple display and then the stupid disk mode do not disconnect one too. I've finally gotten it as of this morning to show up normal but now as soon as I connect my iPod to iTunes I get this pop up error
