Failed upload from itunes to ipod- no explanation

I loaded a bunch of CD’s into itunes and when I went to sync my ipod, it wouldn’t work like it did a few hours earlier. itunes showed the ipod was there and the dialogue box said it was transferring the songs, but after 15 or 20 minutes, I ejected it and the songs were not on there. usually when it’s synching it tells you number 10 out of 100 or whatever song is loading, but it didn’t come up this time. I tried to consolidate my library, thinking that may help, but it said something about the disk not being there or something but had no error number for me to reference. the usb port works. I restored my ipod and reinstalled itunes and rebooted, but nothing helped. Does anyone know what this is about?

  • Cd music uploaded from itunes to ipods

    I am currently uploading my cds to itunes via my computer. I want to be able to import them to multiple ipods( shuffle and nano). Both my ipods and ipad are synced to this same computer. But only the items I purchased from itunes are being uploaded to my ipod shuffle. All songs, including uploaded CDs uploaded to ipad effortlessly.
    Help.

    Yes, you can drag and drop the files to your device, there isnt any reason you cant copy the mp3 files, the files are simply mp3 files and itunes just creates a database file that the iphones and ipod uses, if you plug a iphone in and unhide all files in windows explorer you will see that the mp3 files are on device hidden in folders. There isnt anything special about itunes files other than the DRM files are a little diffrent than windows files but still any mp3 convertor software can modify them..

  • I need help uploading from iTunes to iPod

    I just received the 60GB iPod for Christmas and I love it! I've figured out how to upload video and music and all that...but I don't want to store these giant video files on my computer just so that I can have them on the iPod. But I'm afraid that if I move them to storage on CD that when I update the Ipod will miss them and remove them from my ipod since they aren't on the playlist.
    I have changed it so that the iPod doesn't automatically update each time I connect it to the computer, but my question is this:
    Is there a way to upload just one file at a time to the iPod without it going back and uploading the entire library each time? Or remove/change what's already on the iPod? Does that make any sense?
    Help!

    Go with a better podcast host.  One that is 100% iTunes compliant like Libsyn.
    Here is a tutorial about podcasting:
    http://traffic.libsyn.com/lilith/podcast101_140311c.pdf
    Chapter 7 goes over creating a libsyn account, setting up your RSS feed and uploading your first episode.
    Chapter 10 goes over submitting your RSS feed to iTunes and Stitcher.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

    Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
    I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
    Kind Regards,
    Julias

    I am having a similar problem, and i cant contact ipod 2 ask 4 help - its not explainedo online:
    my ipod will only upload video podcasts, no ordinary videos, except for one. they are all the same format (.MOV quicktime), and my i tunes has them all on it and plays them fine there, its just when i drag and drop or insert my videos onto my ipod any other way theydont get uploaded onto my ipod like everything else does, there seems no way that i can get my own videos onto it. only one video that isnt a podcast has ever uploaded, and its the same format as the others!
    Any ideas or help would be apprichiated ( i cant spell:P)

  • Updating music files from itunes to ipod

    hi,
    i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
    i'm using manually manage my files.
    i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
    but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
    it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
    is this meant to be?
    do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
    thanks for the help

    OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
    First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
    Let's start with that and go from there.

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • Recover deleted songs from iTunes using iPod

    I will preface by saying, I am an idiot, so please phrase your answers like you're talking to a 10 year old. I have a new Mac (my first) and I had iTunes all set up and working correctly until somehow I deleted a folder with half my music in it. It is all on my iPod, however. How do I get it from my iPod back into iTunes? There is some SINCERE gratitude here for anyone who can help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    Change your update setting to manual so that you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article:: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPodAccess Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    PodUtil Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are relatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • App not transferring from itunes to iPod

    Hi,
    I have downloaded app in my computer, since size was more than 500MB.
    Now when i try to update or sync my app from itunes to iPod touch 5th generation, it not working.

    I have disabled restrictions, resetted my ipod and tried to drag and drop.
    Its not working.
    Please help me.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer

  • Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

    I currently have an iPod Touch.  Have downloaded the most current iTunes.  Have the latest software update for the iPod.  For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod.  Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod.  Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail.  I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so.  Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes??  All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
    So how the heck do I do this??  I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this. 

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    Hope this helps.
