CANT transfer new music to iPod!

I cannot transfer my music from the computer to the iPod! I have downloaded the new 7.o version. The computer tells me that my computer "is not authorized to play these songs." BUT, I already have tons of other songs that HAVE transferred, so this doesnt make sense. HELP!!!! I've basically been working on this all day!
Thank you.

The computer tells me that my computer "is not authorized to play these songs."
try playing the songs for a few seconds in itunes. are you asked to authorise them? if so, do they transfer after doing that?

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8. Itunes is now on the new computer. New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod. (It is an older ipod I have had for years). I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update. I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again. The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer. Maybe that fixed it. I will let you know after it is finished. Thanks for the help!

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

HT201263 After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back

After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?

After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?

Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music from Ipod to new Computer?

Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

How do I sync my two iPhones to my iTunes account? One is my old 3GS I am using as an iPod, and I want to transfer new music on my 5 to the 3GS.

When I got my new phone, I did the initial sync to my existing iTunes profile. Now I'm afraid to sync the old phone (so I can get new music on it). Is there a way to sync two phones on the same iTunes account? Do I need to change the name of the old phone? And how do I do that if that's what I need to do? I've had the old phone in airplane mode since I got the new one because I'm afraid it will sync to the cloud and mess up my new phone.
Help! Thanks!!

Itunes won't let me transfer new music to my iPhone 4S

I recently had an issue with Filevault and unfortunately had to have my Macbook Pro wiped clean. I have yet to transfer all of my old files from my external hard drive back on to my computer, but since then have downloaded some new music. I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4S with my computer in order to transfer music on to my phone through iTunes for the past few days and it just won't let me. I have tried troubleshooting using a few websites, and have made sure that allowing iTunes to automatically sync when I plug in my iPhone through a USB port is checked. I really would like to put new music on my phone. Please help!

Hi there elliephantttt!
Sometimes the most reliable way to sync your phone with your computer will be through a manual sync. You can set up your computer to manage your phone this way by following the steps in this article:

IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
Anybody know how I can fix this please?
Kind regards

Cant add new music after ios 5.0 update to iPhone4

Ill add music like i have been doing and the songs that i try to add just sit in the list grey like they would when you would first try to upload, but they never upload or even start to. All my old music still plays as far as i know, but i just cant add any new music. Is there something i need to set up in summary or something?

Hi there PrincessF,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
