Downloading songs onto IPOD nano

I have a 2nd generation nano and have purchased some songs through I-Tunes. I have a problem with not being able to load two tracks onto the Ipod. If i right click on the song in my playlist, I can "Get info". When I look at the "Get Info" tab, usually the song advises it is a "protected AAC audio file". Howver, the two I am trying to load onto the Ipod, show the message "unavailable". I'm unable to copy these to a disc and reload, and I'm becoming more and more frustrated - please help!!!

If they show as unavailable and don't play in iTunes, then either they've been moved from their original folder, or the downloads are corrupted or incomplete. First, confirm that the tracks are in their correct location in your iTunes Music folder. If they are, you might try just dragging and dropping them back in the iTunes window and see if they'll then locate and play correctly.
If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective download. Did they ever play correctly, or did you just buy these? If they're new, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their Download FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

I'm a newb-how do you get songs onto ipod nano?

i have iTunes, but i don't know how to get songs off iTunes, onto iPod, help!

Firstly, you must put some songs into your iTunes, e.g. rip the song from the CD. Once the song appear on the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and you need to register your iPod with the iTunes, then make a choice whether you would like to do a sync manually or auto.
By the way, seems that you are using window 98, I am not too sure whether it manages to support the iPod Nano, you need minimum XP or 2000

Wi-Fi iTunes Store via iPod touch will not download songs onto iPod

First off, my wi-fi is working generally. I can, for instance, access the internet and the iTunes store via my iPod touch.
However, after "purchasing" music via the wi-fi iTunes store, the iPod briefly displays the animation that the music has been purchased and is sent to the downloading que, but then quickly disappears from that que with no songs downloading at all.
I am signed in properly, I have tried reseting the iPod touch completely, but to no avail.
Suggestions?

Figured it out.
After registering my iPod Touch through iTunes, I did not attempt to download any music directly through iTunes onto my computer. All attempts were through the wi-fi store on my iPod Touch. So, I downloaded The Reminder, by Feist, through my computer and it worked just fine. However, prior to downloading I was put through some legal jargon/user agreement blah blah, that I had to "agree" to to continue. Once I did that, the downloading began. Subsequently I went into the wi-fi iTunes on my iPod Touch, and successfully downloaded a song.
I can only assume that the issue was that I had to first agree to the user agreement document through iTunes on my PC before I could actually download music through the wi-fi/touch version.
Let me know if this helps out.

Is nobody answering because it's too hard of a question?
(sorry, I'm a little impatient right now, I just got my iPod Shuffle for Christmas, and this shouldn't be happening! It's driving me crazy!)

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

Can't download songs onto shuffle

Hi,
got a shuffle a few months ago as a gift, and am just now getting around to setting it up - so of course the 90 day help period is expired. itunes sets up fine, but when I try to download songs onto the shuffle, it give an error message "disk cannot be read from or written to"; then "disk write error". I have deleted and re-installed itunes and ipod, and done the ipod update - no help, still won't work.
Also the shuffle does that green/yellow light blinking thing when I turn it on - because no songs on it?
Please help!!!

You're right about the "I'm empty" signal. As for the rest, start by going through the contents of the iPod Shuffle Support Page, paying particular attention to troubleshooting recommended when " ...disk cannot be read from or written to"; then "disk write error" ......".

HT1363 DOWNLOAD SONGS FROM IPOD TO PC

How to transfer files to pc library?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to download songs from iPod to PC. Hope it helps.

HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
(Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

I am trying to download songs onto my PC it gets to about 85% downloaded and then freezes I have to turn off and restart but then I have been charged for the item but it is not available in my downloads can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?
