Downloading music from iTunes to iPod

I have an iPod with a lot of music loaded on it. I want to delete all that music and download a large library of new music. I've installed iTunes on my computer and it appears to be working, but when I get to the part where I should get instructions to download music, nothing happens. Also, I think I've deleted the music files from my iPod (I think, because nothing plays) but the names/tiles, etc. of songs still show up in the menu. Does anyone know what the problem(s) might be and how to fix them?

First go here and install the latest ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once installed open it by going to start>all programs>ipod>ipod updater 06-28-2006 THEN connect the ipod and hit the "Restore" button this will wipe it clean and update it if needed.
When its done disconnect the ipod then plug it back in and see if its listed in iTUnes

  • Unable to download music from itunes onto ipod

    I recently downloaded some music from itunes and naturally went to transfer the music to my ipod. So i dragged the selected songs onto my ipod icon, it started to copy then it freezes and causes itunes to crash, inturn making me have to reset my computer as i can't close itunes down, even when using task manager.
    -I tried this a couple of times
    -I tried to download tunes on some elses itunes
    -I updated to the latest version of tunes
    -I checked the software on my ipod
    -I resetted my ipod using the middle and menu button
    And still all these alternatives brought the same result. Would anybody please be kind enough to advise me on this as im at a witts end and would just like to know if i have to take it to get serviced or is there something else that i can do or am not doing?
    Thanks

    I've got no fix to give you, but I'm having the same problem, so you're not alone.

  • How to download music from iTunes to iPod Suffle

    just received my new iPod Suffle, now what? it does not come with any type of instructions,what you do to download music fro iTunes,where and how to charge battery,you know all the needed stuff.I connected the iPod to my iMac and nothing happen,while connected re-instal my genious in iTunes adn nothing,the computer did not recognise my iPod,try to get information in what to do in apple support nothing;only one how to charge your battery,what is this why everything has too be so complicated and why Apple does not include instructions. You know now I regret buying this gismo.

    This is the manual for the 4th gen shuffle
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
    which is available through the manuals web page on Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    First, you should download and install the latest version of iTunes, from here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    Information about using iTunes with your shuffle is in Chapter 3 (seems like that should be Chapter 1, but hey, I didn't write the manual ).
    You can come back with any specific questions, if the manual does not answer them...

  • Cannot download musice from ITunes to IPod

    For 3 days now I have been trying to d/l to IPod. Today I restored as a last desperate measure and now one album d/l but when I press play, all it does is skip from one song to another then stops. Never plays music. I recently installed IPod to new computer, updated driver, and Itunes, nothing. Tried to d/l manually and I got a big black circle with a line through it would not transfer. Does anyone have an answer? I have been reading all the questions but nothing that was suggested works. Can anyone help please?

    OMG-i just figured it out!!
    *first of all, i came across this in the itunes store help area-->
    "Why won't some video podcasts play on my iPod?
    Some video podcasts, while playable in iTunes, are encoded in formats that are not compatible with iPods. To convert those videos so that they are iPod-compatible, highlight the video in iTunes, right-click on the selection, and choose "Convert Selection for iPod". iTunes will automatically re-encode the video for playback on iPod. Go to the Movies section of your Library to find and play the converted episodes.
    *i had converted the podcast previously, but i had just continued to try and transfer it from the podcast section rather than going to the movie's section, and dragging it from there. once i did that, it worked!
    hope this helps anyone else out there, as i did come across a few other queries...

  • Can't download music from Itunes to Ipod

    When I try syncing the music I keep getting the following message:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "Logical Disk" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. ITunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder and then try copying this file again."
    I went to the Music folder and looked at the security tab and it looks as though all the access privileges are there. I'm not sure where exactly to go or what to do. Does anyone know how I can attain the necessary access privileges?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Are you on an administrator-priveledges user account on your computer?
    If not, try logging into an admin user, and see if that makes any difference.
    Just a guess, but this might be caused by drive letter confusion on your computer.
    Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the steps here:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive

  • Downloaded music from itunes on the iphone

    recently i downloaded music from itunes strait to my iphone via wi-fi and i am having trouble figuring out how to get that music on the computer without having to re purchase it can someone help me please

    If you automatically sync your music then any music purchased on the iPhone will automatically be loaded onto your computer. If you manually manage music then you need to choose Transfer Purchases from iPod/iPhone from iTunes' File menu while you have the iPhone connected to your computer.

  • I downloaded music from iTunes years ago, and haven't accessed it since. How do I get back into my old account? Thanks

    I downloaded music from iTunes years ago and haven't accessed it since. How do I get back into my account? Thanks.

    If you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, and they are still in your country's store and you haven't moved countries since buying them, then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for redownloading, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If not all show there then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    If they are no longer in the store or you've moved countries then do you have a copy of them anywhere ? If you still have the iPod with them on then you can connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy and sync them to your iPad.

  • Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches

    My computer with iTunes which my itouch was synced to crashed, literally died. I threw it out and had no back-up so lost everything on it (still don't know how to make backup). I bought a new computer, re-downloaded iTunes and my several days worth of music is now gone except for a few songs purchased so I am re-downloading my CDs which is a time consuming pain.
    Here's my problem. My itouch only has one album on it (Chris brown's F.a.m.e.). I finally want to transfer my iTunes music to my itouch in case my computer crashes again and to listen to it there too which I hadn't done in the past. When I synched my itouch to iTunes it says I have to erase everything on my itouch first since I've never synched it to the iTunes on this computer before even though it is under my same exact account. This is do unreasonable and stupid. I have tons of pictures, videos, emails and apps I've been using my 64GB itouch exclusively for. My iTunes account is registered to this itouch and there's no way I want to delete everything on it years worth just to have access to synch to iTunes. Makes no friggin sense to me. I purchased a new itouch so I can download the music onto that. I've already spent hours and hours over a couple weeks every free moment downloading my CDs to iTunes. Before I crack open the new itouch, is it going to let me download my music onto it or only to my old itouch whose content I do not want to erase?? I'm frustrated is an extreme understatement as to how I am feeling. Any suggestions? Can I unregister my old itouch and register the new one to iTunes...WITHOUT having to delete all the music I've already downloaded? Can I download onto both my itouches since everything will be registered to me? Or do I also have to buy another computer, download a second iTunes, register the new itouch or ??

    1. My computer crashed. I smelled smoke, it no longer turned on, nobody was able to retrieve anything on it. It went in the trash with all my data on it - pictures, itunes, documents etc. I had never made a back up.
    2. I purchased a brand new Dell computer. I re-installed iTunes using my same username/password as the itunes I had on my old computer. All the days worth of music (non-purchased) were gone. I was told through a paid call by apple that I have to re-install all the non purchased items (my CDs) but they showed me how to bring over my purchased music.
    3. I spent hours and hours and hours re-installing all my CDs, several days worth of music. I then synched my itouch, and it is telling me that it detected a new computer, that it has to first erase everything on the itouch in order to synch and transfer the music onto it.
    4. I don't want to erease all the content on my itouch - pictures, videos, emails, etc. etc. Have had it for a while and not something I want to do.
    5. I purchased another 64GB itouch so I can synch that one instead.
    6. I haven't removed it from the box yet. My question is "Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches." If I crack open the box and synch the brand new itouch to the itunes on my new computer, registered to my old itouch, will it work? Will it synch and download the music to that device so that I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch - wich is not an option for me. I don't want to delete everything on it. I bought a new itouch so I won't have to delete everything and transfer it onto that. The itunes on my new computer is already registered to my old itouch. Had I known I'd have to delete everything to synch, I would've not used my old username/password, would have created a new one, a new account so I could sync it to my new itouch which I shelled out the money on just so I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch. So my question again - can I synch this second brand new itouch to the itunes on my compouter? I don't want to remove it out of the original packaging and find out the hard way only to then not be able to return it to the store. ANd if I can't and I don't want to delete everything on my old itouch, am I screwed and no longer able to use itunes?

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

    Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.
