Help! No longer able to add songs to Ipod.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I did not know where to turn for help. I have been trying to add new songs to my ipod for the last several weeks without success. I can add them to the library. I am able to drag them from the library to my ipod icon and the playlist I want to put them in. It shows up as updating. However, when I unplug the Ipod it is not there at all. I have tried this multiple times.
I saw a similar question on this forum, dated a little while back but no solution. Please help. My ipod was a gift loaded with thousands of songs that i do not have stored so i do not want to have to restore the ipod if avoidable.
Thanks.

I can think of a few reasons as to why this is happening.
If you have recently switched computers which you update your iPod with, it might just be that the new computer is not compatible with your iPod.
The most probable reason I could think of is that you are not pressing the eject button before you remove the iPod, thus the newly added data would be removed.
If you cannot find a solution to this and you are going to reset your iPod, then use the program YamiPod (http://www.yamipod.com) which takes all the songs off your iPod and puts them onto your computer; you can then add them back once you have reformatted,

  • New iPod touch, no longer able to add songs via iTunes

    Have a new iPod touch, less than a week old. 3.1.2 OS and 9.0.2 iTunes on an iMac.
    Was loading songs manually, walked away for a little while, left the iPod connected, now I cannot add songs.
    I've restored the iPod, still unable to drop songs onto it from iTunes. I set it to sync checked songs, will not load that way either.
    It will load apps, I reloaded the apps, but songs will not go on it. Drive isn't full, after the restore I loaded apps, about 4 gigs worth, and tried songs but nada, zip, zilch.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Oddness...
    Tried adding songs numerous ways, nothing. Walk away for a bit, come back, now I can add songs.
    iPod gremlins? Taking it back tomorrow to see if they have any ideas...

  • No longer able to add songs from computer

    On Friday I was able to successfully import songs from another location on my computer. Yesterday I went to import some more - after updating iTunes to the latest version. NO go - nothing happened. I've tried using the add folder option, the add file option and just dropping the file on my iTunes window. Nothing works. I completely uninstalled iTunes - to the point that I now have to rebuild all my playlists etc - and installed an older version. And still I am unable to add any songs. I had to burn them to a CD and then import that.
    I am running Windows XP pro SP3 on a pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM and like I said...until I updated it was working fine.
    Has anyone else had this problem? And if so have you found a resolution to it?
    THANKS in advance for any help!

    I just ran into this problem. Have you resolved it?
    I noticed this week while running iTunes 9.2 on Windows 7 that I was missing a significant portion of my MP3 music from the library, music that I originally ripped and imported way back with iTunes 4.6. Somewhere my music got dumped from the iTunes library. Dragging the files/folders does nothing (iTunes does not add the music nor give any notification that it could not). Adding the music through menus has the same problem. The MP3 files play fine through Quicktime and Windows Media Player.
    I found that if I removed ALL the ID3 tags with a 3rd-party application iTunes could then add the file.
    How do I fix this?

  • Not able to add songs to ipod

    ever since i updated my ipod i am not able to get my songs back onto my ipod

    The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

  • When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

  • No longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbar, Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" started when I updated to Firefox 6.0

    Since updating to Firefox 6.0 I am no longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbarl. I receive the following Java Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function." When I hit the OK button in the error message it opens up "Add a Bookmark" and when I attempt to add the bookmark there I get this error message: "A problem occured while trying to save the bookmark. Please try again later."
    Is this a comparability issue that you are not aware of? Below are the versions of Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar that I currently have installed:
    Firefox: 6.0.02
    Yahoo Toolbar: 2.4.0.20110815110908
    Windows XP, Service Pack 3
    I am having this issue on my laptop and desktop. Since I use both computers the Yahoo toolbar has been great for having my bookmarks available on both computers at the same time but no I don't have that feature. I'm told that Google's toolbar also doesn't work either.
    Do you guys do any testing or Quality Assurance testing before releasing these versions?

    Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
    Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
    * "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
    * Do a Google Search no problem
    * It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

  • No longer able to add ringtones to itunes 10.6 and up

    I am no longer able to add ringtones into tones. I make the ringtones via itunes but it won't let me add it to the "tones" tab. The file is proper .m4r extension but when I try to add it, it gives me the circle with the line across the middle that doesn't let me add it to the tones tab. Is anyone else having this trouble? and if so how can I fix it?

    Try Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  • I am no longer able to change songs using my headphones

    After updating to iOS 6.0 on my iphone 4S I am no longer able to change songs using the headphone controls and when i double click on the home button it no longer allows me to turn my music on and off without unlocking the screen and going into the music app on the phone.
    Any ideas why this is?  Is it a known bug?

    Start by opening Disk Utility, from Applications > Utilities, then select the internal storage MacIntosh HD, and then Repair Permissions.  You should see some printer libraries noted as having the wrong permissions, that may be part of the problem.
    Be sure you have the latest printer/scanner drivers installed by going to the Canon site and download the latest available.
    You can also try using the Mac OS X built-in scanning software by going to Applications > Image Capture and see if that handles the scanning for you - works great with my Epson scanner.

  • Can not add songs to ipod

    I have a 30 gig Ipod video, and have been manually dragging songs from my library to put on it. Recently, I have not been able to add songs. When I drag songs to it, nothing happens. No error message, nothing. Also, when I try to play songs on my computer from my Ipod, I get the exclamation point to the left of song name. The songs and videos already on the Ipod play fine when not connected to the computer. I would like to avoid having to restore if all possible.

    simple question
    (i'm sure that you have tried this) but is the ipod full (space wise) do you have any extra space on your ipod.

  • I am not able to add my product ipod in my apple ID

    Why can't you add your product?  What happens?  Error messages?  Are you sure you are entering the correct serial #?
    As for your other question, it sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch, which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1.  See this article to help you identify your iPod's generation.
