Help, please.. ITunes will not copy all my music to IPod

I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano and I'm having some trouble. I somehow accidentally (apparently I'm a moron) restored my iPod so that everything was erased. I have my library backed up on disc, but all my songs are still showing in the ITunes Library. I have 575 songs. When I sync my iPod to ITunes, it gives me an error message saying "Some songs could not be copied because it is not authorized for this computer (100 problems)", something along those lines. After that, it will only copy 340 songs from my ITunes library to my iPod.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can get all my music transferred back to my iPod?

Have you authorized your computer to the iTunes Store account under which those tracks were purchased? You can either play one of the tracks (or additional tracks if any were purchased through a different iTunes Store account) or use the Authorize command under the Store menu in iTunes.

Itunes will not load all songs onto my IPOD or start Itunes when connected

I have a new 80GB Ipod. Two problems I have noticed.
1. Itunes has 1609 songs. My IPOD only shows 1603. I have made sure all the boxes on the left colume of Itunes are all checked. Am I doing something wrong.
2. Just this past week when I connect my IPOD to my computer (PC -windows XP) it does not start Itunes. I do have that option checked. It connects fine when I open Itunes on the computer after the IPOD is connected or if I already have Itunes open then connect the IPOD.

Just try this on that one song first....the first one it stopped on.
Take it out of the itunes library list. If it asks about putting it in the recycle bin, say NO.
Then add it back into the itunes library. Will it sync now?

Itunes will not syc with one of my ipods?

iTunes will not syc with one of my ipods?

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.

TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

PLEASE HELP! Itunes will NOT open

I've seen many posts with people saying their itunes will not open and gives an error message that says it has encountered a problem and has to close. Mine started doing this a couple days ago, and I believe it might have been after I updated either itunes or downloaded a Windows update.
I have tried probably everything and nothing is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime (together and seperately). I've messed with msconfig, I've even tried reinstalling itunes from the cd that came with my ipod.
Someone please help!

hi Rachel!
At the moment I do not have quicktime installed. After messing with it so much, I gave up. But the message it was giving me was the same message itunes was giving me, saying it has encountered a problem and needed to close.
that would be the current problem. itunes won't run if you don't have QT on your system. (it will give you an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message if you try to launch it under those circumstances.)
so let's try a standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if the install goes through fine, check some things for us.
does Quicktime launch fine, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say?
if your QT is launching fine, do you still get the "itunes has ..." message?
love, b

ITunes will not copy certain songs to my iPhone - I'm "not authorized for it on this computer"

Hi. I get an error when I try to transfer certain songs from my computer to my iPhone. I get the following error, "(song name) was not copied to iPhone "____" because you are not authorized for it on this computer." For the particular songs for which this error comes up, I purchased them many years ago. I had them on my PC and transferred them to my iPhone just fine. I recently got rid of the PC and bought a Mac Mini (yay!) and copied my files over to the new computer. Then, I connected my iPhone to the Mini and synced it. Then, I noticed that there were some songs on my phone that I didn't want on it so I unchecked them in the Library on the Mini and chose the "sync only checked songs" option and synced again. Nothing changed. So, then I did an Autofill thinking that would make the selected songs on my Mini and matched the songs I wanted on my iPhone. That's when I noticed the songs missing on my iPhone (songs that I had selected on my Mini and wanted on the iPhone). I've never really been able to figure out how to work iTunes so I'm sure I've done something wrong. I can't decifer the error message so your help would be greatly appreciated. (I've authorized the Mini.)
Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
I've a very similar & the same problem but for me this has been happening ever since iTunes 7.1.5, so not exclusively since 7.2 was launched
In addition to the same problem you're having, iTunes will not sync any of my converted DVD movies and several video podcasts giving me the same error message you mentioned. If it try to play these video's out side of iTunes with QuickTime, I get 'Error -36: An I/O Error' warning and thats it, but I can play with any other media player including the dreaded Windows Media Player! If I copy these files on to a separate HHD, Flash Stick or on to another PC (i.e. so they’re played from not in the iTunes folder in my documents) they all work fine and oddly also with QuickTime, so I'm happy the files are not corrupt. I'm afraid to attempt to play any remaining video's that I managed to sync sometime before this problem in iTunes because when I do, its then that I can never use it again and it gets removed from my iPod!
I can't find anything on this problem anywhere, and I don't know where to go to get help from Apple not that I’m sure they’d be too helpful?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Jaime

Itunes will not update all music onto my ipod

I'm using 5th Gen iPod w/ latest software and itunes with latest software (as of 8/5/09)
I had to restore my ipod the other day, so it began the process of copying all my music library back to my ipod. it attempted to copy a certain song for about 10 seconds, then stopped and indicated that the sync was complete. In reality, it did not copy that song, and it stopped there. I changed my ipod settings so that it would only copy checked songs. I unchecked the particular song, and tried again. It copied another 100 songs or so, but then stopped on another. These songs play fine on my computer, so i don't believe they are corrupted.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this is, and what i can do to fix it?

Just try this on that one song first....the first one it stopped on.
Take it out of the itunes library list. If it asks about putting it in the recycle bin, say NO.
Then add it back into the itunes library. Will it sync now?

Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!

Itunes will not load all photos

Suddenly, my Ipad 3 will not load all of the photos that are in a folder onto the iPad into an album. I have a folder of 58 images and iTunes recognizes that. When I sync to add the images, itunes loads only 53 of them. I have repeatedly attempted to sync and it keeps loading the 53 images. I took the 5 images from the folder and put them in a new folder and Itunes will not load them. These images are JPEG's and are not any larger of a file than the ones that did load. I have even restored my Ipad and it still only will load the 53 images.
I had this same problem the other day where out of 96 images, it would only load 76. I have plenty of HD space available. I am at my wits end. All software is up to date now and still same issues so not sure what the problem is. I've deleted the iPod Cache folders, have a fresh install of ITunes and still no luck. HELP!

You removed the cache from iPhoto - correct?

HT1199 Newer version of iTunes will not open. My music is gone. How can I get the older version back?

My "newer version" of itunes will not open. How can I either get it to open or get the older version which worked fine?

Restore the backup before you installed.
If you didn't make a backup, at very minimum make sure your Music library isn't compromised by locating the folder you selected the music to be in (usually in Users -> yourname -> Music) and make sure there are several MB of data there by clicking once on the folder, and selecting Get Info from the File menu in the Finder.
If you can't find it, try to locate parts of track names with Find Any File.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
then determine which parent file of the .mp3 or .mpa files you have contains all of the music files by getting info under each previous folder in the folder tree.
Once you determine which folder contains all your music, back it up using the Finder, or backup the entire hard drive using cloning software at least to two different drives or two complete copies on DVDs:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
You'll then want to erase and install 10.6 from the system installer you used to put 10.6 on your Mac, and run the combo 10.6.8 updater and apply the necessary security updates:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
Then you can install older versions of iTunes for the Mac from here, once you determine which version is compatible with 10.6.8 that you liked before by first checking which version is compatible with what you need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
Once you know that, if you can't find it with Google, let us know and maybe one of us can help. Lastly reload your music in your music folder, and your other applications.

Help, please.. ITunes will not copy all my music to IPod
