Cd music uploaded from itunes to ipods

I am currently uploading my cds to itunes via my computer. I want to be able to import them to multiple ipods( shuffle and nano). Both my ipods and ipad are synced to this same computer. But only the items I purchased from itunes are being uploaded to my ipod shuffle. All songs, including uploaded CDs uploaded to ipad effortlessly.
Help.

Yes, you can drag and drop the files to your device, there isnt any reason you cant copy the mp3 files, the files are simply mp3 files and itunes just creates a database file that the iphones and ipod uses, if you plug a iphone in and unhide all files in windows explorer you will see that the mp3 files are on device hidden in folders. There isnt anything special about itunes files other than the DRM files are a little diffrent than windows files but still any mp3 convertor software can modify them..

Updating music files from itunes to ipod

hi,
i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
i'm using manually manage my files.
i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
is this meant to be?
do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
thanks for the help

OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
Let's start with that and go from there.

I need help uploading from iTunes to iPod

I just received the 60GB iPod for Christmas and I love it! I've figured out how to upload video and music and all that...but I don't want to store these giant video files on my computer just so that I can have them on the iPod. But I'm afraid that if I move them to storage on CD that when I update the Ipod will miss them and remove them from my ipod since they aren't on the playlist.
I have changed it so that the iPod doesn't automatically update each time I connect it to the computer, but my question is this:
Is there a way to upload just one file at a time to the iPod without it going back and uploading the entire library each time? Or remove/change what's already on the iPod? Does that make any sense?
Help!

Go with a better podcast host. One that is 100% iTunes compliant like Libsyn.
Here is a tutorial about podcasting:

Chapter 7 goes over creating a libsyn account, setting up your RSS feed and uploading your first episode.
Chapter 10 goes over submitting your RSS feed to iTunes and Stitcher.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Failed upload from itunes to ipod- no explanation

I loaded a bunch of CD’s into itunes and when I went to sync my ipod, it wouldn’t work like it did a few hours earlier. itunes showed the ipod was there and the dialogue box said it was transferring the songs, but after 15 or 20 minutes, I ejected it and the songs were not on there. usually when it’s synching it tells you number 10 out of 100 or whatever song is loading, but it didn’t come up this time. I tried to consolidate my library, thinking that may help, but it said something about the disk not being there or something but had no error number for me to reference. the usb port works. I restored my ipod and reinstalled itunes and rebooted, but nothing helped. Does anyone know what this is about?

Since you are running Windows 2000, you most likely have a pretty old version of Windows Media Player. Easiest thing for you to do would be to puchase a USB Card Reader that supports Micro SD cards, and simply drag and drop your music to the /AUDIO folder on the card. Put the card back into your phone and you're done!

Upgraded to ios 6 and my music wont transfer from iTunes to iPod

I upgraded to ios6 and plugged it into my laptop. I had all of my 4000 songs on iPod before I plugged it into iTunes. I had no problem before and it synced just fine. I had all my music on the iPod Touch. It synced my movies and apps, but won't sync my music. What gives?

Ok so I fixed my problem. It actually, for some weird reason, only loaded one song onto my iPod when I initially synced to iTunes. I was thinking it loaded all of my Apps and Movies FIRST and didn't load my music until last and didn't have enough room (?), (My 64GB iPod was pretty close to full as it was), I suspect, so I told iTunes which movies and apps to NOT load this time (unchecked the ones I didn't want- you don't lose them BTW, just won't load to iPod) and made room for my music.
At least iTunes still had all my music but the iTunes to iPod wouldn't download all my music. So in the screen in iTunes on the tab for music, I told it to erase my library on my iPod, (which was only one song anyway), and then told it to upload my library again and everything was fine.
I think your problem was it didn't complete the software upgrade because the download to your iPod got cut off from WI-FI. Did you upload all of your music to iCloud? Maybe that is the root of your problem. I too tried out the iMatch and didn't like it because I had to have internet connection all the time to be able to listen to my music. I was able to revert back to the original at least. (A waste of $25). I'm sure you still have your music library on your computer in your default music folder: (C:\Users\Andre\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music). So don't worry, it should still be there. The trick now is getting all your music back onto the iPod.
Good luck. Wish I could help you more.

I did an update and only only the music purchased from itunes store is there all the cds I burned to it are gone. Tried syncing ipod but it says it will wipe all content. How do I get all my music back. gone from over 6000 songs to 250?

Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

I currently have an iPod Touch. Have downloaded the most current iTunes. Have the latest software update for the iPod. For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod. Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod. Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail. I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so. Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes?? All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
So how the heck do I do this?? I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this.

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

I purchased lots of music yesterday from itunes and now i can't export to ipod because files are not found

I just purchased lots of music yesterday from itunes and amazon but now can't load onto ipod because files are not found.

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music.
Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.
60GB iPod with click wheel Windows XP Pro

Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod
