Having trouble moving songs

I purchased my macbook and 30 G ipod together. I put all of my music from my old computer on my ipod, before I did a system restore. I have since sold that older computer and am now wanting to put my music from my ipod onto my mac...is there any way to do this?? If anyone knows I would very much appreciate the help!

Then mark the post as answered please.

  • Having trouble moving songs from iPhone Music section to a playlist in 10.6.1

    I'm able to import songs from my computer to my iTunes just fine.  However, it seems that with version 10.6 of iTunes I can't drag a song from my iTunes Music section on my iPhone 4S to a playlist.  The song will highlight in the Music section but drag & drop are not working.  I don't recall having this problem in version 10.5 of iTunes.  Anybody else have this issue?  Is there a fix or do I have to wait for version 10.7?  Thanks for the assistance.

    Thank you for that. It all looks like it should work except for step 12:
    From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library. A message appears that says: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Music folder. This cannot be undone."
    There is no button that says consolidate library. Not even on the example picture they have.

  • I have PC with Windows 7 and iPad. My music in iTunes on PC is available under Music on iPad but having trouble moving music to i-Cloud. I suceed in moving the music to iCloud on PC but when I look at iPad music still on device and not in iCloud. Help?

    I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
    I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
    I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
    Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
    Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • Im having trouble downloading songs purchased in Itunes to my nano. Help!

    Im having trouble downloading songs from ITunes to my Nano. Help please

    What happens when you try to sync songs to your Nano?  Are you getting any error messages?  Does the iPod appear under Devices in iTunes?
    What options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?

    I have the same problem, but discovered I can 'gift' itunes. I can't update my itunes version because my operating system doesn't support it and I can't update my operating system because my laptop is too old. 2008. have rebooted,  retried, done all I can think of... still not working. Waiting for I support to respond.

  • I am having trouble with songs that will not play completely through.

    I am having trouble with songs that will not finish playback. The songs play about 75% of the way and then stop mid-song. This is true for my PC and songs transferred to my iPod. I have redownloaded (and repaid) for one song to see if that helps, which it did. But that can become expensive as I am starting to find an increasing amount of songs that are haaving this problem.

    Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen).

    I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen). Is it a problem that it is in the "Home Videos" section? I go into the "Home Videos" sections and drag the video that I want so that the bar comes up, move it over to the device and let go. All that happens is it flashes a few times and then nothing. No error or anything.

  • I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

    I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

    Make sure your device iOS is updated:

  • Having trouble moving show to Ipod Classic

    For some reason, I'm having trouble moving a purchased TV Show (Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog) to my Ipod. Everything else has transferred fine, but this just stays in Itunes and wont go anywhere. There's more than plenty of room available, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?

    Hey, I had the same problem too, so I changed to option to sync all episodes instead. All 3 episodes are up, but they can't play on my iPod (iPod classic 5th gen 30gb). When I click on an episode to play it goes into the movie screen like any other movie but the screen just remains black for more than a few minutes. Anything I do to get it going just brings me back to the list of episode pages.
    I've tried removing the show and re-syncing my iPod but to no avail. Can anyone help?!! I really want to watch Dr. Horrible!

  • Having trouble moving iTunes music onto iPhone 5

    Hey guys,
    I'm going to try my best to clarify everything so please bare with me.
    Windows 7 (64-bit)
    iTunes (11.3)
    iPhone 5 64GB (iOS 7.1.2)
    - All are up to date as of now
    - There is enough storage for my 4,462 songs I want to add
    Yesterday, I finally transferred all of my music from my library on my computer to this one (and downloaded some new songs).
    I wanted to put all of my iTunes music from my computer onto to my iPhone via USB cable. I wanted to delete all music from my iPhone to clean the slate then add the new music to make sure everything is new (no duplicates, wrong songs, etc.) I have done this a few times before.
    So I plugged in my iPhone and checked manually manage music (as I usually do), then highlighted all of my songs on my iPhone and deleted them. Then they disappeared from the phone's music list and showed that I had gained all that space back (this is all normal).
    So I highlighted all of the music on my iTunes (4,462 songs) and dragged them into the iPhone music area.
    It then began copying the songs over, so I left it there to copy overnight because all of those songs would take a while to transfer.
    Today I woke up and checked to see if it was done and I saw that most songs did not copy and instead were grayed out with the dotted circles next to them.
    It said "Copying 1 of 382 --> Song name" but hasn't made any progress since then.
    So I deleted the grayed out songs from the list but couldn't delete the ones that were trying to copy.
    I tried cancelling the copying process but it was stuck at that same "1 of 382" for 30 minutes.
    So I ejected my iPhone but it said "Syncing iPhone" or something like that. I left it like that for 10 minutes and it didn't do anything so I unplugged my phone from my computer and did a hard restart on the phone. In the meantime iTunes said something like "Failed, the device was disconnected."
    I restarted my computer and opened iTunes again and connected my phone again. I plugged in my phone and tried syncing all of the music instead and it did basically the same thing and then said there wasn't enough room to transfer items.
    I didn't understand because when I clicked on my iPhone device it didn't show any music. But then I looked at the storage bar and it showed that music was taking up about 30GB (about the amount of music that I wanted to transfer originally) on my iPhone.
    So now I'm trying to delete the music off of my iPhone but it doesn't show the songs on it in iTunes.
    I tried deleting all the music through the options in my phone (it let me do it) but it didn't delete any music (even after hard restarting my phone).
    So now I'm not able to transfer music to my phone...
         1. Because it says there is not enough room
         2. I'm having trouble with the songs that won't transfer via syncing or manually managing items because of the stupid
    I've tried so many things, read so many threads online but nothing is working, and I definitely don't want to restore my iPhone...
         1. Many people said they've tried that and many other things but nothing worked
         2. I don't want to have to bother with that whole process and am worried about losing something(s) in the backup process.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I'd much appreciate it them.

    I haven't, I've been using the same account since I first got an iPod. Although...I just noticed that all the songs that did transfer are songs I bought from iTunes. None of the songs I imported from CDs got transferred. What's the deal?

  • Having trouble moving music onto iPhone

    So I've been seeing a lot of people having trouble with syncing music and whatever else onto their phone. However, I have not found the solution and I have the same problem. My biggest issue right now I'm am just trying to sync one song that I downloaded for free from an artists website and it won't even recognize that I dragged and dropped the song. Everything is updated and I reset the sync history. I just can not figure out why it won't transfer over that one song.

    Hi Pman4,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your most recently imported songs don't sync to your iPhone, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

  • Having trouble moving iTunes collection from old computer to new

    I just made the switch from PC to Mac, and with the Macbook I got a new iPod (5th gen Classic 160GB). On my old PC I'm not having trouble syncing my new iPod with iTunes and getting all 1200+ files onto the iPod. The trouble starts when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes on my new Macbook; it says there are 26 files that can't be transferred to iTunes from the iPod because this computer isn't authorized, but I authorized this computer and it continues to say the same thing. Also, even with those 26 files not making it over, somehow only 257 of the 1200+ files on the iPod are making it to iTunes.
    tl;dr Most of the files on my new iPod aren't transferring to iTunes on my new Macbook. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP??

    I haven't, I've been using the same account since I first got an iPod. Although...I just noticed that all the songs that did transfer are songs I bought from iTunes. None of the songs I imported from CDs got transferred. What's the deal?
