Digitized music not transferring from iTunes to iPod

I've been transferring and digitizing all my old cassettes onto my computer. It works great and plays fine in iTunes, but it won't load onto the iPod. It's in mp3 format like all the other music on my iPod. Any ideas or suggestions as to what to do to get it to work?

I am having the same problem, but I just got a new 4th generation 20GB because my old one died. So I tried transferring my library onto the new iPod and it won't transfer any of the songs that I bought on iTunes. The error message says that my software is too old, but I just updated it numerous times. What is going on!?!?

Purchased Music NOT transferring from ITunes to IPod

AArgh. I have an older version of IPod (non-clickwheel) with the latest vesion of IPod Software (2.2) installed AND ITunes 6.0 AND I've repaired permissions, restarted, all the common troubleshooting actions taken place.
My Purchased from ITunes music is not transferring at all to my Ipod. At one point even though I had the latest software I would get a message saying my Ipod Software was out of date , but that's not true.

Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod

I just bought a 60GB iPod and set it up with my iTunes that I was formerly using with an iPod mini. I intalled all of the updates for iPod and iTunes and it says everything is transferred but it does not show up on my actual iPod. it takes a long time for the iPod to be recognized and keeps prompting me to register it when it finally is recognized. Getting frustrated here.

yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod puzzle

I update my iPod fairly regularly (mostly for podcasts) and I've noticed recently that a small number of songs aren't being transferred to my iPod when I sync it.
I converted one song that wasn't transferring from an mp3 format to an aac but still no joy. The songs play fine in iTunes and I've tried a manual update in just transferring the one song but that hasn't worked either.
Any ideas anyone?

The songs that are not appearing on your ipod, are they from artists that you have multiple songs? If so, I believe I might know the problem. There is a bug, and I will explain it the simplest way I know how to.
Let's say that I have 3 songs by Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", and "Moby Dick". Now, if I gave "Black Dog" a album title, and I left the other two blank, on your ipod it will skip the album select screen and go straight to "Black Dog", preventing you from selecting the other two. This will also happen if you have 2 songs (let's say "Whole Lotta Love" and "Moby Dick") labeled with the same album title, while your other songs are unlabeled.
To fix this problem, you must either give another song from the specific artist a different album title from the other labeled ones. Then the ipod will go to the album select screen, and allow you to select "All" which will display all of your labeled and unlabeled songs.
I hope this helps.

Album art added by myself not transferring from iTunes to iPod

Hi. I just synced my library to my new iPod and everything is working fine except for some album art issues. The album art that is added by right-clicking in iTunes and choosing 'Get Album Artwork' copies across fine, it's the album art I've added myself that doesn't copy over (where album art would be displayed I just see a large blue musical note.)
I don't know much about iPods, this is my first one, so following the advice of a friend I've restored the iPod then re-synched it and that hasn't fixed it.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sometimes you have to make sure that each individual song has the artwork attached to it, rather than the album as a whole. Try that on one album to see if it works. In iTunes, right click on a few songs (one at a time) in the albums that are giving you trouble and verify that the artwork is attached to them.
Also, I've noticed on the new Nanos that you sometimes have to first delete a troublesome album from the Nano, then replace it--unlike earlier iPods (or it might be earlier versions of iTunes) which would actually update that information when you sync.

Some purchased songs are not transferring from itunes to ipod even others from the same album did.

Originally the songs were only partially downloaded. After completing the downloads to itunes it was suggested to de authorize the computer and then authorize the computer. Still unable to transfer to classic ipod. Even tried resetting ipod.
Any suggestions?

Album art not transfering from iTunes to iPod

Manually managing my ipod. When copying songs over to the iPod, only about half of the album art that is in my iTunes shows up on the iPod. I deleted all of the music from my 160 and copied it over again to see if it would fix the problem but nothing changed. Some album art comes over, some does not.

Are you auto-syncing the iPod? If so, when you add artwork to songs in your library the songs should be replaced by iTunes on your next sync. If not, you can force a new copy on your iPod by (a) set your iPod to sync only checked items, (b) un-checking the problem items, (c) re-sync your iPod, (d) re-check the problem items, and (e) re-sync again. But this process should not be necessary if you're on auto-sync -- any tag changes should automatically trigger a replacement of the updated song on your iPod.
If you're manually managing your iPod, if you update songs in your library the updates will not automatically transfer to your iPod. To do that, you should delete the songs from your iPod which have been updated with artwork in iTunes, then add the updated copies from iTunes back to your iPod.

Apps not transferring from iTunes to iPod

I tried to find a thread about this but couldn't so here goes:
I just bought an iPhone and have found a bunch of apps that i downloaded on my computer's iTunes.
But when I sync my iPhone the apps are not transferred onto the phone. I tried downloading some of them directly from the phone and a message telling me that I already downloaded this app shows up, I can then get it again, but the idea was that I would find them on my mac, and then transfer them to the phone.
There is no error message during syncing, the apps just don't show up.

Are you sure that they aren't on another page of your homescreen?
Page 21 iphone manual:
"Du kan oprette op til ni skærme. Antallet af prikker over Dock viser, hvor mange
skærme du har, og hvilken skærm der vises.
Skifte til en anden hjemmeskærm: Svirp til venstre eller højre, eller tryk til venstre
eller højre for rækken af prikker. "

Songs not transfering from itunes to ipod

I use limewire to downlod music, there is a limewire folder on my itunes source tab, but when I connect my ipod, it only transfers what is in the other folders. Do I have to change a setting or something? I see all of the songs there, just can't get them on the ipod.

Amanda,

Song not transferring from itunes to ipod shuffle?

New songs not syncing to Ipod shuffle. Getting message on 1 of the 2 songs -"cannot transfer to IPOD because an unknown error occurred.

Does the song play properly when you play it in iTunes (on your computer)?
Was this a download from the iTunes Store? If not, do a Get Info (in iTunes) on the song. On the Summary tab of the Info window, what does it say for Kind and Bit Rate?

Some music not syncing from iTunes to iPod Touch

I downloaded music from two different artists recently. I created playlists for both. I changed the number ordering on the playlists a bit. And now I no longer have those artist's music on my iPod. I have tried:
* Restoring original settings
* Double checked the file types on the music
* Manually added the music back on to the iPod, then synced
* Adding ALL of the music library onto my iPod (hoping those artists will be added too)
Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

Just a stab:
The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
Thanks ... Ken

HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!

The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.
