Copying music into ipod selection from library

Help! I mistakenly erased all the music on my ipod after we got a new PC, and I reinstalled the newest version of Itunes. I used to be able to copy and paste songs easily from the main library to my ipod selection (I have a HUGE music library so I don't put it all on my 20Gig Ipod). Now this version doesn't seem to want to let me do that. I have plenty of room on the ipod, but when I transferred all my music back over, Itunes seemed to "pick and choose" which songs/albums from my artists to put on the ipod. How do I go in and manually move over the missing music?
Thanks for any advice! I know this used to be easy but maybe I am missing something on this new version of Itunes.

The default is to synchronize automatically. You need
to change it to manual synchronization or to
synchronize only selected playlists if you want to
control what gets in your iPod.
Hey, thanks! I'll try that.

Not able to copy music into ipod

Have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen. Am not able to copy music from the library either manually or thro autofill. The msg flashed is - "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do u want to erase this ipod and sync with this lib". Have deselected the "replace all items ..." in Autofill settings but no respite. Same msg flashed while trying to copy manually. No memory space issue. Any help ???

Tell it yes you want to delete the music and sync the music from this computer. The Shuffle can only be linked to one library.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Is it possible to copy photos into iPod-Touch(4Gen) from PC(Win7) ?
Thks.

No, you use iTunes on either a PC or a Mac as the Apple article says in the link I supplied in my previous post.

I assume that the "syncing" you're talking about is an iPhoto/Mac feature.
Unfortunately, I'm working on a PC(Windows7), and I can't find any of this in my PC iTunes.
Could you confirm ?
Thks in advance

If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
Why not just sync?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Music on iPod disappeared from iTunes library. It stays on iPod even when I sync. Can I get it back in iTunes?

Thank you to anyone who can help me with this. When I got my iPod touch a few months ago, I first imported music from CDs into iTunes. I then created playlists and hooked up my iPod and synched it. My music library and playlists no longer appear in iTunes. When I sync my iPod, the songs and playlists still remain on my iPod. Is there any way to get the songs and playlists to show in iTunes again?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Or, if the media isn't on your computer any longer...
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Can you copy music to an iPhone from a shared library?

My main iTunes library is held on my iMac, but it's location means that it's not that convenient for me to use it as the primary computer to administer my iPhone with. I also have a Macbook Air which I'd like to use to administer the phone, but it's only a 128Gb model so don't want to fill it or waste storage by duplicating my music library.
The Macbook is connected to the iMac's music library using home sharing, but does anyone know that if I set the phone up on the Macbook, would I be able to copy music onto it from the shared library, or am I restricted to that which is on the local Macbook library.
Thanks in advance,

How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
Thanks much.

The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
But there are options for websites with mp3s.
There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

Downloading music into ipod nano

Hi, I'm a new apple user. Can I upload music into iTunes from CDs?

Yes, but not directly. First add the music to library by going to Files > Add to Library, then open the CD folder and make a selection of musics you want to add. Then perform the sync. Make sure the "sync music" in ipod menu is selected before you sync. Cheers!

Can't copy music to ipod ("cannot be updated... unknown error (-50)"

Well, the last month has been pretty much a nightmare with my beloved ipod (60gb with video, and I'm using a Powerbook G4).
My immediate problem is this: after transferring about half of my music onto my ipod (which I'm doing from scratch, because of another issue that will come up later in the post), I got an error message saying "The ipod 'Disco Stu II' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I click ok, and am stuck here. I cannot eject my ipod - when I try to, I am told that "it contains files that are in use by another application" - although I'm not running any other programs (except, currently, Firefox). When I click "ok" to that, the first error message recurs. When I close itunes and move the ipod icon from my desktop to the trash, I get a message saying that the disk is in use and could not be ejected. Relaunching Finder doesn't change this. Reopening itunes, nothing changes. It's possible that if I restart the computer, I'll be able to eject the ipod, but this also seems like it might end up doing more damage.
The larger problem: this type of thing has been happening often recently. A few weeks ago, I was copying music from an external hard drive onto my ipod, when itunes suddenly quit. I don't remember all of the details, but I got a message saying the ipod couldn't be read or written to. I said ok, ejected the ipod, and to my horror found that it was now empty. When I plugged it back in, itunes gave me a single option to restore the ipod. I called AppleCare, who walked me through an alternate version of restoring (unfortunately, I don't remember the details here either). I was then able to put music back on my ipod, and for a few weeks it worked okay. But last night I had my ipod plugged into my laptop's usb for charging, and while my back was turned another error message (I think this was another "cannot be updated"), and again I was stuck with a single "restore" option, so once again, I had no music on my ipod. Which is why I'm trying to refill it now, without much luck.
Other possibly relevent stuff: earlier tonight, while my ipod wasn't connected, itunes caused a kernel panic. I thought (hoped) that this meant my copy of itunes was the problem, so I trashed my copy (as well as my itunes preferences... but are there other things that I should also be trashing?) and downloaded and installed a new version. Apparently this wasn't the solution, since the immediate problem happened after I installed the new version.
Any help appreciated. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to cry, or throw things.
Adam

Update: I restarted the computer and, surprisingly, itunes could read my ipod and was able to transfer music to it. I still received one or two of the "unknown error" messages while transferring the rest of my music (carefully, less than 100 songs at a time). However, I'm still unable to eject my ipod either through itunes or finder. I was only able to do it by restarting again. Knock on wood, the situation seems tolerable now, but I expect to be living in fear that my ipod will stop working for the next few weeks. Any wisdom would be appreciated. thanks!

Problem copying music to iPod after recent update

I had no problems before I updated my iPod software when transferring songs from iTunes to my iPod. Now I get a message "Some of the songs in iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod Because your iPod software is too old."
I need help because what is the point of downloading any music if i cant get it on my iPod ><
Its funny because the software is up to date.
iTunes version6.0.1
iPod 2.2 (and recently did the 2005-10-12 and 2005-11-17 updates)
It says up to date in my software/ipod updater
G4/1G Mac OS X (10.3.9)
G4/1G Mac OS X (10.3.9)
