Can you sync music from windows windows media

I synced music from windows media player onto my ipod nano. Windows media says it's all downloded but none of the songs show up on my ipod. Why is that? Can you not sync music from windows media player even though windows media player lets you?

Hi,
You probably have your nano's disk-use enabled. This enables you to use your iPod as an external disk. Windows Media Player does sync music, but it only transfer it to the iPod as normal data file you put into it, which iPod Nano will not show the songs in the player, but if you access the iPod from My Computer, you might able to see the files.
Meanwhile, iPod only read and understands files that synced into it by using iTunes. The songs are renamed and put into the iPod filesystem hiddenly. If the above information contains errors, please correct me.
Regards,
Siau.

    This is the most basic feature of the ipod.  You should really read the manual.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • Can you sync music from one iPod to another?

    Both are the same model of iPods, but they came from two different computers. They have different libraries. I was wondering if you could transfer songs from one iPod to the other iPod. None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library. The songs are from seperate computers.
    I have a PC, in case that hepls any.

    No it isn't possible to transfer music from one iPod directly to another. The music needs to be in an iTunes library in order to transfer it to an iPod.
    You said the songs came from two different computers and they have different libraries. Then you said +"None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library."+ which seems to contradict what you said originally.
    Care to elaborate?

  • Can you sync music from ipod to a computer

    My hard drive on my apple computer failed and was replaced. My music library is gone but I have it all on my ipod touch. Can I sync the ipod music to my Apple computer.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new hard drive.
    The music sync is one way -computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can't sync music from Windows PC to iPad Retina

    I've a newly purchased iPad Retina. Unfortunately I can't sync music from my Windows PC to iPad. I tried with the best practice, muisc appears with a cloud circle at the left most column in the device shown in the iTune. I'm puzzled as I'm an user of iPod and have never faced such problem earlier.

    The cloud symbol means your music is in the cloud-not on the PC.

  • Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

  • Can you import music from an itunes from one computer to another?

    can you import music from itunes on one computer to another?

    There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:

  • Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

  • Can you download music from your Mac to your Samsung GS3?

    Hello out here...
    Just wanted to know can you download music from a Mac to the GS3?

    If you are using iTunes (an assumption on my part because you are using a Mac) transferring music becomes more difficult.  If the music doesn't have iTunes typical DRM protection, you should be able to drag and drop songs to a music folder on your phone after plugging into your computer.  If everything is exclusively in iTunes, there is also an app in the Play Store called Double Twist that I've heard works really well (never used it personally) and even has a wireless sync mode.

    CAn you download music from your Ipad to your IPod?.

    Not directly no. If they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you might be able to re-download them directly on your iPad - or if you have iTunes Match then you should be able to.  Otherwise you will need to sync via your computer's iTunes
