Have new computer- cannot move song from itunes library to the ipod

How do I move songs from the itunes library to the ipod?  Have tried dragging & dropping it will not
work.  Song is downloaded onto itunes library, but will not go onto ipod

So how exactly are you wanting to or trying to add content to your iPod?  Manually or via automatic syncing?  Do you have content stored in your iTunes library that you can play? Any error messages when you try to add or sync content to it?
What didn't work? Need A LOT more detail here in order to assist you.

  • I cannot move songs from my library to my iphone

    I cannot move songs from my library (CD's that I own) on my laptop to my iphone

    They are not moved, they are synced.
    What if anything happens when trying to sync content to the device?
    Is it actually selected to sync or are you trying to manually manage content on the device?

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

  • Cannot move songs from 'Purchased' playlist on my iPod (touch 8gb)

    Soooooo I've purchased a handful of songs on my ipod touch and I cannot move them back to iTunes or to another playlist.
    They are all listed in the Purchased playlist from the device.
    Only one shows in the Purchased on [device] under Store in iTunes.
    Also, they show up under the playlist in iTunes I moved them to but not on my iPod.
    I've updated my iTunes software and my iPod, as well, without progress.
    I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there is a larger issue at hand.
    Thanks for reading

    Are the chapters of the podcasts separated as individual files or are they a part of a single large file?

  • Cannot drag songs from itune library to Iphone

    Ok I am having a problem  I cannot drag any of my music on my  itunes library onto my iphone. I have looked online at everyones  comments and what they tell you to do and nothing works and plus when  you click the things they tell you to click on it says its going to  delete everything on your iphone and i hit cancel can some please help  me!

    You will have to check the manually manage music box.
    Changing from syncing to manually managing will indeed erase the current content.
    Why not just sync the music?

  • Cannot Move Apps from Itunes Library to my touch

    Have a touch with software version 1.1.5. I have downloaded apps and they currently reside in a folder in my Itunes library. However, there is no Apps tab under my "device" and I cannot get the apps to synch to my IPOD Touch. They are only on my PC. I have updated my software but cannot get the Apps from the library to the device. Any help?

    Apps are only available on ios 2 or later.

  • I am trying to drag songs from iTunes library to my iPod and I keep getting red circle like it's telling me it's not possible. Help please.

    I'm trying to help a friend who has a PC. She bought some songs, put them in her library and then tried to drag them to her iPod, but she keeps getting the red "NO' circle. Why is this happening? I thought all she had to do was drag the song to her iPod?

    Hi there,
    It sound like she may have automatic syncing enabled. I would recommend reviewing the process for syncing media with iTunes.

  • How do i transfer songs from my library to my ipod in the new itunes window

    Tee ipod used to show up in the left column, and you could just drag songs from your library to the ipod. Now the ipod icon is in the top right hand corner. And I cant drop and drag songs.

    Go to the view menu and turn on show sidebar. It will look more like it did before.

  • I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song). I need a solution.

    I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library (38.33 GB) only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song or 63.80 GB). I did not have this problem until syncing my library with the new Macbook Pro. I need a solution (a solution IS NOT sifting through my iTunes song by song and deleting the duplicates).

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • I cannot synch. songs from itunes to ipad 2 (have authorised computer). Also cannot tranfer apps from ipad to Mac despite authorising the computer. Any advice? Thanks.

    I cannot synch songs from itunes on my Mac to my ipad 2. It worked the first time, but stripped them off on a subsequent synch and I cannot get it to work again. It synchs apps but not music. Also, despite authorising my computer, synching strips off apps. purchased on the ipad (i.e., it will not transfer them to the Mac). All very mystifying. Any help gratefully received (I have tried everything on the troubleshooting page of the ipad guide).
    Many thanks

    Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
    If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
    It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.

    The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
    You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

  • My daughter and I each have iTunes libraries on the same computer, how can I move some songs from one library to the other?

    My daughter and I each have iTunes libraries on the same computer, how can songs from one library be moved to the other?

    So, if she purchased a song from iTunes in her library, I will also have to purchase the same song to add to my library?

  • I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  I no longer have access to the old computer.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
    You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

    If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

    Hey lightc,
    If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

    I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

    Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc.  If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.
