Certain songs won't download

I'm new to this and currently trying to download songs I have in Itunes - on certain songs it gives me a message stating "Some of the songs in Itunes music library, including (song I'm trying to download), were not copied to the Ipod...because they cannot be played on this Ipod." Of course, these are the songs I want most of all - what is this about?

I'm having the same problem. I have been able to load many cds, but suddenly I can't download any, and always get the same message: "Some of the songs on this cd were not downloaded because they cannot be played on this iPod." What's wrong?

  • Certain songs won't download from iCloud to ipad.

    When I try to download certain songs from the iCloud that I've previously purchased they start downloading for a second and then stop. Why would this be?

  • HT1911 I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect).  I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.

  • I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • HT1725 I bought an album and one of the songs won't download. It says that the file may be corrupt and to 'check available downloads' from the store menu.

  • Certain purchased songs won't download to ipod??

    I've had this problem for quite a while. I plug the ipod in and it never downloads the certain songs. I have tried unchecking them and connecting the ipod then checking them back and connecting it again and it will say that it's copying the songs but they're still not on my ipod. Every once in a while it will say ERROR: one or more songs could not be downloaded to ipod touch. They will download to my ipod shuffle but not my ipod touch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    First step: when you get that Error message in iTunes, there's a disclosure triangle that expands the dialog box and explains exactly why each song failed to sync. What does it say?

  • Certain songs won't transfer to iPod

    Ok, this is bugging the crap outta me.
    A few days ago, my iPod Classic kinda went on the fritz. For some reason, the sound became all distorted. So I tried restoring it. That didn't fix the problem. In fact, it made things worse, because after I restored it, it wouldn't update properly. Certain songs wouldn't go, and a message would pop up that said "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I assumed there was something wrong with my iPod, because there had already been something wrong with it. Which there was, and now it's like dead completely.
    Anyway, that's not the extremely troubling part, because I had to get that iPod fixed anyway.
    The really troubling part is that my dad gave me his old 4GB iPod Nano (3rd generation) to use because he just bought a new iPod Classic. So I try to put my music on this one, and guess what... same thing happens. I erase and restore it, and when I try to put my music on it, there's certain songs that won't go, and that message pops up. No matter how many times I try to put it on, it's just those certain songs that won't go. And I cannot find ANY connection between the songs that lets me know what the problem is. The files are connected just fine, the songs seem completely random... I can't find any common thing between them... bitrate, encoding, length... nothing. And there's nothing distinguishing most of them from the songs that transfer just fine. They're all MP3s. They all play just fine in iTunes, but won't transfer to the iPod.
    I'm getting the feeling there's some kind of bug with iTunes 8, because that's the only thing I can think of that changed recently that might be causing this.
    Anybody have any answers? I'm desperate.

    I've been having the same problem recently- after we downloaded Itunes 8, around the same time we got the new Leopard software, most songs won't sync to my Ipod 3rd gen. And, of course, most of those songs are my favorites.
    Have you gotten the answer to this??

  • Certain songs won't import to iTunes

    Hi all,
    I recently purchased the most recent 13" MacBook Pro which seems to be running fine, except I am having trouble with iTunes. When I download songs and drag them into iTunes, they either go in then I get a pop-up window saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" or they don't go in and I get this same pop-up window, and then another pop-up window saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (13001). These are all normal mp3 files so I have no clue why certain files won't save properly.
    Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access.
    *the important part is to apply to enclosed items* !
    These are all normal mp3 files
    iTunes can be a bit picky which MP3s it accepts. run the problem files by _*MP3 Validator*_, then try again to add them to your library.

  • IPod touch won't update,certain songs won't sync...I'm even trying to restore my iPod and that won't even work. Help!

    So I have an iPod 4th generation. I've been having problems downloading certain songs...I download my songs from youtube converter and all my other songs I have synced just fine. But there are about 10 songs that won't download,yes I have tried to convert them to AAC or whatever that is,and it seems like that won't work either. I thought maybe it isn't working because I haven't updated my iPod from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3,I try updating and it tells me Error,this ipod could not be updated error 3194...I ask around for questions as to why that isn't working and they tell me to restore. I try to restore on my computer and I get ANOTHER message saying This iPod cannot be restored error 3194.
    Yes I've reinstalled iTunes and everything else.
    Yes I've tried restoring and updating for a different computer but on the other computer it couldn't detect my iPod...
    I'm having sooo many problems...help! I really do like my iPod touch but it seems to have a lot of problems

  • ITunes "canceling sync," certain songs won't sync to iPhone 4

    Despite not making any hardware or software changes, I find myself not being able to sync certain songs to my iPhone 4. The sync process goes through all the steps as usual, and then on the last step, syncing music, after a few songs copy it says "Canceling sync." There is no pop-up error, so I just have to notice when "Canceling sync" shows up for a couple seconds to know that not everything copied that I wanted to.
    My music library is on an external hard drive, as it has been for quite a while. The songs that don't sync to the iPhone are from a variety of sources: iTunes purchases, non-iTunes purchases, GarageBand tracks, CD rips. They all play on iTunes. They can be synced to and play on my iPods (a Shuffle and a Classic). I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, resetting the iPhone, ejecting and reconnecting the external hard drive, resetting the computer. Same problem every time.
    The missing songs do show up on the iPhone, but they're in grey and can't be played. Most of them used to be on the iPhone and played with no problem. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    I had one music that was not syncing to my iPad. The artwork was a picture of me and my daugther (we recorded the music together on a studio).
    I can only sync this music after deleting the artwork!
    Maybe the artwork file you used for these songs could be the problem. Try change or deleting the artwork of these songs.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards.

  • Song won't download because the "File seems to be corrupt". Now what?

    I purchased a song through iTunes and am trying to download it on my PC.  The song tries to download 4 TIMES, then displays an ERROR MESSAGE that THE SONG COULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED.  THE FILE SEEMS TO BE CORRUPT.  RETURN TO THE "CHECK FOR AVAILABLE DOWNLOADS" IN THE STORE MENU.  I have done this several times.  NO CHANGE, ALWAYS THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE.  What do I do next.  I either want the song to correctly download or get a refund for the purchase.  Please Help.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    The loops won't don't download as well as certain instruments.  Any help?

    This is the WMP plugin: np-mswmp , so you have it.
    You may be missing a codec to play that content or some extension or security software is blocking that content.

  • A certain album won't download to my iPod

    I buy physical copies of albums and download them to my iTunes then sync the ones i like to my iPod (touch. the older version (if that mattered)) but a certain album (the new One Direction Four album) i even made a playlist to put the  album in a sync it individually but the the playlist folder synced all the songs didn't. also when i have my ipod plugged into my computer and click to see all the songs that are in it, i scroll down to look for the songs and they're all faded and there's a little dashed circle before the little check-mark. i can't click on it either.
    sorry this is so long i just like to specific. please help me!

    Never mind! The situation fixed itself somehow. Must've been a glitch or something.

  • Some songs won't download or play from iCloud

    So I recently subscribed to iTunes Match to convert about 700 old songs from Protected AAC 128kbps to the DRM free 256. Anyway most of it went over just fine (besides iTunes crashing 20 times while uploading to Match), I converted almost all my old songs to new "Matched" versions, but about 45 songs got stuck and are "grayed out". I can't download or play them. Here is an example:
    [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/jumpinstocktoyotas/itunesissue.jpg[/IMG]
    Rest of the album downloaded fine but that song is stuck. Almost every album that I "matched" has at least one song like this.
    Please help! I am getting very tired of all the issues with my apple products. These stuck songs, album artwork disapearing, play counts reseting, albums not grouping together properly, iTunes crashing while uploading to Match, my iPod touch crashing while listening to music... About to drop apple all together.
    PC is Windows 8 64bit, iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
    Thank you.

    Think I found a clue, I backed up all my DRM protected files before I started incase something like this happened. For some reason the songs that won't match are showing as purchased by my brother, but I know this isn't possible. Look at the link to the pic below, The first track (on top) is showing purchased by my brother, but the entire rest of the album is shwowing purchsed by me. So I'm supposed to believe that he bought one song on the exact same day at the exact same time as I bought the rest of the album? Something is off here...
    http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh541/two250/itunesissue2_zps8ef2ead3.jpg
    Many albums are doing this, showing one song being bought a different account as the rest of the album, even though time a date purchsed lines up exactly...
