Cannot copy purchased itunes to ipod.

I purchased two songs off of the itunes store to my playlist. I cannot copy these itunes to my ipod. I keep getting this message, "Some of the songs in the iTunes music library, including the song... were not copied to the ipod... because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." I only have one computer and have only been working on one and have only had my new ipod hooked up to this one computer. I looked at my itunes account and it says that, "only one machine is authorized to play music purchased with this account." I only purchased this music to listen to on my ipod. I am very confused about why I can't do this and why this isn't as easy as 123. All I want to do is listen to my ipod with music purchased from itunes. Please help!

I have a question along the same lines. I had all my songs on my Dell Inspiron 9100 that crashed bad. I bought a new one, Dell Latitude D420. I did buy a third party software that I was able to load in my new Dell. All the songs show up in the library but I get the same message as not being authorized. I sign in and it says allowe but does not transfer to ipod or allow me to play on my laptop. Any suggestions, Thanks.

  • Cannot copy mp3 files to ipod after 4.3.1 OS update

    I updated my iPod Touch to 4.3.1. Now when I open iTunes and try to copy mp3 files to my iPod the cursor turns into a circle with a line across it indicating I cannot copy the files. I manually sync as I select a few items from my PC library. This method has worked fine for years. Only failed after 4.3.1 update. Any ideas? I have rebooted both PC and iPod several times. No joy.

    Hey PlanB77,
    Here's why I know the problem is Apple and NOT a problem with the aftermarket cables.
    I have a total of (6) aftermarket cables. These cables support several Apple devices (iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and iPad)in different locations. All (6) of these aftermarket cables have worked just fine for many months. After the update to 4.3.1 on my iPod Touch, NONE of these cables work on my iPod Touch, but the original Apple iPod cable works fine. These aftermarket cables still work fine on my other Apple products that have not been updated.
    It is beyond comprehension that all (6) aftermarket cables have failed only on my iPod Touch while working fine on all my other Apple devices. Hence my comment, Apple has become truly pathetic. They now demand your dollars for overpriced cables. As this change to the OS is without a public announcement and after I have purchased cables from other vendors I stand by my conclusion.
    Oh, and Apple wants to charge for support to tell you why their OS 4.3.1 upgrade broke your product. That adds insult to injury.

  • Error message while copying from iTunes to iPod

    My daughter's iPod shuffle (1st gen) was not charging so I updated it to the lastest software (1.1.5). While doing so, iTunes required an upgrade as well (7.5). Both are updated. But it is still not charging. That's my first problem.
    I decided to see if it was a problem with my computer. So I tried using my other daughter's iPod. It was charging and playing music. While I was at it, she wanted to add new songs. For some reason I had difficulties so I updated her iPod software to 1.1.5 as well.
    When I went to put songs on it from iTunes, I get an error message "<song name> was not copied to the iPod "<ipod name>" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    I now have an iPod that has no music on it. (Plus a second iPod that's not charging.) Both iPods are about 15 months old. They are shuffles (1st gen) and we have XP on our computer.
    Can anyone help.

    Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle: iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats
    I don't use a shuffle but it has a function that other iPods don't have, on-the-fly conversion, the option to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". You should check this out, this should save you converting your lossless files in iTunes. You can find details on pages 12 and 13 of the manual: iPod shuffle User Guide
    Quote: "If this option is selected, songs encoded in AIFF or Apple Lossless format are
    converted to 128 kbps when transferred to iPod shuffle (the song files in iTunes aren’t
    affected). Otherwise, iPod shuffle doesn’t play songs encoded in those formats"

  • Cannot connect to itunes from ipod

    I have an oldish ipod 8gb 1.1.5 and never really used it properly.  Now I want to and when I try to connect to itunes from it, I get the message 'cannot connect to itunes store'.  Thought it might be easier through my PC, but the PC doesn't even recognise the ipod.  Please help - I am not very computer literate either, so that probably doesn't help!

    See:

  • Cannot add purchased songs to iPod

    I am about ready to throw my Macbook out the window. I detest the new makeover on iTunes making me feel like a complete idiot that I cannot figure out for the life of me how to transfer one stinking song that I purchased on iTunes to my iPod Touch. I have confirmed the song is in my music library, I have synced my Ipod several times. I appreciate any help on this!

    My problem is similar but broader.  At some point a few months ago, I could no longer listen to any of my purchased music on my iPod Touch.  All of the purchased music remained in my iPod music library (I can still see every song); however, none of my purchased music will play.  When my playlist reaches a purchased song, the iPod stops playing.  I've re-synced my iPod many times and the same thing occurs.  And, I've restored my iPod with the same end result. 
    One other issue that I believe may be related: I'm also noticing that some of my playlists don't show up on my iPod anymore.  All of this seems to have occurred at the same time.  And I still have 22 GB of capacity available so that isn't the issue.  Can anyone offer a solution?  I would really appreciate it. 

  • RealPlayer 16 video file conversion, copying from iTunes to iPod.

    I recently upgraded to RealPlayer 16 and encountered some problems I had not experienced previously with copying converted files to my iPod.  I found that by downloading them in RealPlayer format (.rv), and then selecting iTunes for PC as the output format, I was able to have RealPlayer copy them to my iTunes Library.  When I chose iPod/iPhone as the format, the files contained only audio and a green or black screen.  To copy them to the iPod, you do so my syncing and applying them to your device.  I don't know if anyone else has experienced this particular situation, but if so, I hope this informaton will be helpful.

    is there artwork for every song? like make sure they all have one, for EACH individual song, because mine didnt have all of them and it showed that it did, so i went through every song and made sure it had an artwork in the bottom left hand corner. it took a while, but im pretty sure thats the only way to do it. if this doesnt work, then i'm out of ideas...sorry

  • Some songs do not copy from iTunes to iPod

    This is very frustrating. I have a 5th Generation 60gig iPod. There are about 20,300 songs in my library, none of them from the iTunes store. All legal, all owned by me and I have the CDs to prove it. When I update the iPod all but about 4 or 5 songs copy over. The frustrating thing is there's no way to find out which songs are not copying over to the iPod, so I can't tell if there's a problem with them or what. AppleCare tells me the only way to find out is to visually compare the list on the iPod with the list in iTunes. I have 20,000 songs here and allegedly one of the most powerful computers you can get and I have to compare two nearly identical lists visually?? Oh, by the way I'm running 10.4.6 and the latest version of iTunes and the latest iPod update. This never happened with my 4th Generation iPod. Any thoughts at all of what to do would certainly be appreciated.

    Are you basing the few that don't get sent to your ipod on the file count? Could there be duplicates? I've noticed that there are some of my movies that don't get sent over but I usually get a warning that they aren't in a compatable format.
    There is an option in either file or edit (can't remember exactly where, I'm at work) but you can filter to show all the duplicates. I've noticed that when I drag files over to be copied to my ipod and there are duplicates, it only does one.
    After you find the culprits, another thing would be to export the file to your desktop. Delete it from iTunes then reimport it making sure of the file format.
    just a thought

  • Error 1450 cope purchased itunes to ipod

  • Cannot connect to itunes store ipod touch via router

    I am new to Ipod ownership and so far its been a good experience.
    I have been searching on the web but not been able to find a solution to my problem.
    The issue I have is that recently I cannot download apps from the app store via my home router. I can search the internet etc using it but when I click to install an app I get the message that says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I have tried to use a different wireless router (my mobile phone acting as a hotspot) and do not get the same message.
    I assume therefore that there is some issue between the router (a netgear WGR614) and the ipod. The annoying thing is that I could do it earlier in the week.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Two things to try.  Please reply with what works.
    1: Turn on Airplane mode, then turn it off again.  This resets internet related settings.
    Does it work?
    2:  Changing the DNS in Setting, Wi-Fi, DHCP tab, DNS , replace with 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 8.8.4.4 (Google)
    Does it work?

  • Can't copy purchased songs to ipod since itunes5

    So I just upgraded to itunes 5 the other day, last night I bought an album, and when I went to copy it to my ipod, it wouldn't let me. I can copy non-itms stuff to the ipod, just not anything i bought from the itms. Any ideas?

    Jenni, so you downloaded the latest firmware and installed it? If you're having trouble doing that, all you need to do is locate the update file on your computer and double click to install.

  • Tunes not copying from iTunes to iPod -- frustration

    I have a new iPod, 5th generation 60 gig. I have about 20,000 tunes in my songlist. Four (4) of them will not load into the iPod from iTunes. I have AppleCare on my powerbook, so I called to see what could be done. I was told that I have to manually look through both lists to find which tunes aren't loading. We're talking about 20,000 songs. About 300 pages printed out, single-spaced. Hello? This is exactly the sort of thing computers are for. If there was a way to tell it to compare the lists I'd have my answer in less than a second. It might not be a big deal to the 200 or 300 song user, but I got the big iPod because I want to use it. Anyway, if anyone has any idea of a workaround, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks a ton.
    Powerbook G4, iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Again, there's 20,000 tunes and over 4000 artists, most of them doing several tunes. There has to be an easier way than looking through lists. Everything is up to date. The OS, iTunes, the most recent iPod updater, everything. Every file is AAC. If it couldn't find a file it would, I think, say so. The basic issue is that there seems to be nothing built into iTunes to deal with the possibility of this kind of problem and I cannot for a minute believe that I'm the only person who has had something like this happen. And by the way, every file is a legal copy, owned by me.

  • Songs not copying from iTunes to iPod

    I am running iTunes for Windows, version 11.0.4.  I have an 8GB iPod Nano generation 2, with software version 1.1.3 on it.  I can play songs in my library through iTunes with no problem, and I can play any songs that are on my iPod with no problems when using headphones or plugged into an aux jack on my car stereo.  Here are my issues:
    When I attempt to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod, the message "Copying 1 of #: <song name>" in the display (# being the number of sogs I'm trying to copy.)  The problem is, nothing ever happens.  No progress bar, no going onto song 2, nothing.  It just sits there, and the eject button for the iPod shows the sync icon spinning.  I cannot stop the transfer by clicking the X next to the message, it just continues on, doing nothing.  To stop it, I need to click on the eject button, which does eject the iPod.  When I look on the iPod, the one song it said was copying is there.  I can play it and it works fine.  When I plug the iPod back into my PC, I cannot see the songs on the iPod.  They just don't show up.  Turning the sidebar on, I see the iPod connected, but there is no "Music" option listed under it.  In the new view, I can click on the iPod, select "On This iPod" and I see "Music" as a playlist, but there is nothing listed under it.  When I click Autofill, all it does is sit there for a few minutes, saying that it is autofilling the iPod, but only one song shows up on the iPod.
    To try and fix this issue, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also did a Restore iPod.  Neither worked.  I tried plugging my USB cable into a different port.  The only thing I have not tried is a different USB cable, as I don't have one.  Once I get one I can attempt that, but I doubt that's the issue, as iTunes has no problem seeing my iPod, just transfering songs to it.
    Does anybody have any ideas why this may be happening?  The worst part about this is since I did a restore, I now have NO songs on my iPod (except for the 2 that I did manage to copy onto it.)  Thanks in advance for anybody that can help me out!

    For some reason, hooking the iPod up to my wife's machine (which it worked fine on) seems to have done the trick.  When I reattached it to my machine, it updates fine from iTunes.
    Wish I had tried that first before restoring it. 

  • 10 songs will not copy from iTunes to iPod.

    I have been having a problem when syncing my iPod. At the end of the sync, a dialog box appears, saying 'some of the items in the iTunes library, including "song name", were not be copied to the iPod "iPod name" because they could not be found". In total there are 10 songs that I can not copy to my iPod, they were all purchases off Amazon Music, as I had a voucher for the site at that time. When I initially purchased the songs, they were copied to my iPod without a problem, it is only recently when syncing my iPod that this has occured. If anyone could explain to me how to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful, thank you in advance!

    Hi, zoed0775.
