Cannot transfer songs from PC to Ipod

So far have removed and reinstalled itunes on PC reset Ipod to factory settings but when trying to sync to pod I can get backups done and apps done but as soon as 1st song tries to sync the sync freezes and pc just freezes on very 1st song.
Tried it on another PC and thats the same, its only recently that this has happened and can play all songs via PC but just cannot transfer/sync them to ipod.
Using XP Pro and have latest software on itunes.
Help please!!

Sounds like you've done all the logical first things. The only thing that comes to my mind - is it the same first song? Perhaps it's seen as malformed in someway. If so, you could try to remove that song from the sync? Sorry if that's a lame response. Maybe someone has something better.

  • Cannot copy songs from library to ipod - says need to run updater but ipod

    Cannot copy songs from library to ipod- says the software is too old and updater needs to be rund. However, the updater has been run and says the ipod is up to date. I have already run the restore so the ipod is empty.

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    So, transfer of any songs added (or removal of any songs deleted from iTunes) should take place automatically every time you connect the iPod to iTunes.

    I called the help number and the lady said she would have to charge me $29 to do so, but that there are other ways that are free that someone may be able to help me with.

    Since downloading a new version of itunes I cannot transfer music from my computer to my ipod

    Same here but not sure if it is for the same reason. I have trouble downloading the file and hence, it is not on my computer but in "the cloud" and it seems like that is the reason that it cannot transfer the file.

    Click on the iPod name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.

  • I cannot transfer songs from itunes to iphone

    when i try to transfer songs from my itunes to iphone 4 they are greyed out and do not play.. and cannot see it in iphone

    Go into itunes on the iPhone, select the purchased menu, then select "not on this iPhone".  If you then re-download anything that shows up and re-sync to itunes it should be all fixed.  This worked for me anyway.

  • Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod Shuffle

    Still having difficulty getting my head around how this iTunes stuff works.  I logged into iTunes and redeemed a $15 gift card by entering the code on the back.  I saw the $15 balance added to my account.  I proceeded to buy two songs, but now cannot get them onto the iPod Shuffle device.  I'm using a new Windows 8 PC and the iPod does not appear as a device within in iTunes.  So I remove the Shuffle from the USB port and take it to the older Windows 7 PC, plug it in, and now it shows up in iTunes on that machine.  However, when the two new songs I purchased don't show up in the Library there so when I try to Sync with the Shuffle, no new songs come over.
    On the Windows 8 PC, I see the two new songs along with three earlier purchased songs in the Library.  However, only the three earlier songs display the "Download from iCloud" icon next to them.  I'm guessing this means that the two new purchased songs only reside locally on the Windows 8 PC (where the purchase was initiated) and therefore cannot yet be seen from the Windows 7 PC.  If this is the case, how do I get the two new songs into iCloud so that I can transfer them to the Shuffle from the Windows 7 PC?  Or better yet, is there a way to get iTunes to see the Shuffle through Windows 8 so I can just transfer it from there?
    This is all far too confusing than it needs to be.  For a company that touts its "It Just Works" slogan, this experience is extremely disappointing.

    After some period of time, I eventually was able to see the newly purchased songs in the Library from the Windows 7 PC (not sure if there is typically such a delay).  I then finally figured out that I needed to click the "Download from iCloud" icons to manually initiate the download of the two new songs to the iTunes repository on that PC.  At this point, I found that re-running Sync finally completed the transfer of the songs to the iPod Shuffle.
    Still curious about why the device isn't detected on the Windows 8 PC, though.  But apparently it's a common issue as I get a lot of hits on this when I Google it.

  • 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!

  • How do I transfer songs from my old ipod touch to the new ipod nano?

    I just got the new Ipod nano and I want to get the music i already have to transfer from my old ipod touch to the new nano, how can I do this?

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • 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??

  • Transfer songs from Mac to iPod, then transfer songs from PC to same iPod?

    I would like to know if it is possible, and how to transfer some songs from my Mac (Power PC G4) to my iPod (iPod 20GB with color display), and THEN transfer some more songs from my husband's computer (Windows PC) to the SAME iPod WITHOUT ERRASING the ones I already transfered from the Mac.
    Is this possible? do I need a special sodftware for this? can I find this software free anywhere?
    Please help, thank you!

    As pointed out by Mitch, the key here is you want to format the iPod (via the Restore command when plugged into the Windows iTunes) for Windows and both machines can read the iPod. Next set the iPod for manual syncing. You can now plug it into either computer and manually add stuff to the iPod or delete items off of it...

  • Transfer songs from computer to iPod

    Hey,
    I know alot of users like myself have lost their music files from their computer but still have them on their iPod. Unfortuantly, alot of these questions have not been answered because it is impossible to transfer songs to iPod to computer with iTunes only. But, that does not mean it is absolutly impossible to recover the data. There is a software out called Pod Rescue, that can help with this problem.
    Just sharing the luck!

  • 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
