How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

  • How do i put the song from the hard drive back in the new itunes library?

    I had a laptop with music in the itunes library. I put the music from there in a hard drive. I bought a new laptop. How do i put the songs  from the hard drive back into the itunes library on my new laptop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How to recover deleted songs from iTunes hard drive (not iPod)

    I have a Western Digital hard drive that I use to play all of my mp3 files. Tonight I was creating a playlist by dragging and dropping songs. Although I thought I was editing the playlist, it turns out that I accidently deleted a song from my library ("MUSIC").
    Now anytime that I delete something from the external hard drive, it ends up in the recycling bin on my desktop. But that does not seem to be the case with songs that I delete from the "MUSIC" library on my hard drive.
    I'm confused. When I accidently deleted this song, where did it go? The folder containing the mp3 file is gone, it is no longer in iTunes and it never appeared in the Recycling Bin. In the past whenever I've accidently deleted a song, I simply went to the Recycling Bin and clicked on "Restore File".
    Does anyone know where to find the missing file(s) and how to restore them to my 'MUSIC' folder in iTunes?
    Note that this has nothing to do with my iPod, but rather the external hard drive associated with my PC.
    Thanking everyone in advance who can help!

    How I wish it were that simple.
    My Recycling Bin is empty, which is what is perplexing. Just to see if this function was working properly I deleted a song from the LIBRARY and guess what? It appeared in the Recycling Bin.
    Its a mystery what has happened to these songs.
    This has happened on several occassions. I waited years for a few rare songs to come out in digital because only vinyl copies existed. When Apple finally reached a licensing agreement to sell these songs, I downloaded them and created a playlist. Somehow the playlist disappeared including all of the songs from the library. I didn't think anything of it because I thought that I could simply go to iTunes, select PURCHASED songs and add them. To my suprise iTunes does not have a history of my purchase.
    Finally, after much trouble back and forth with Apple customer support they sent me a link for two of the most recent songs that I downloaded, but the ones that I downloaded a year or more in the past.
    The whole entire scenario has left me scratching my head.

  • How do I copy GB songs to external hard drive?

    Why can´t I drag GB documents to either desktop or to external hard drive? I remember succeding in deleting songs before, so I must have been able to drag and drop documents at some point, but now I don´t seem to find the right method. Please help!

    Organize the library from within iTunes, right-click any song, locate it in the Windows Explorer, navigate up to the iTunes folder, and drag it to the external drive.

  • Songs from External Hard Drive to iPod without iTunes

    So I have only a quarter or so of my songs in my iTunes library, but I have a large enough iPod where all of my songs can easily fit on it. I want to upload new songs and albums to my iPod, but without deleting all the thousands of songs that are on it, but not on my iTunes library, if that makes sense at all.
    Is there any possible way to do this? I was fiddling around with my smaller iPod to see if I dragged the folder onto the iPod whether that would work, but so far as I could tell it didn't.
    Anyone have any suggestions? or Help? Or at least a definite answer that it just can't be done?

    You can't add playable songs to an iPod except through iTunes. Dragging songs from Finder to the iPod simply adds the audio files as it would to an ordinary flash drive, it'll store them but not play them.

    How do I copy a song from my itunes library to my wifes phone? We share one pc and have seperate itunes accounts.  Her phone is authorzed on the computer as well as mine.  How can i get a song from my library to her phone/

    Drag the songs from the iTunes library or iTunes Music folder to the device in the Finder. If it doesn't show up there or that doesn't work, check the device's documentation.

    You don't.  You sync your devices with itunes.

  • ITunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. I had to re-rip them. How can I stop this from happening?

    iTunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. How can I prevent this from happening if I try it again?

    iTunes Match can in no way be considered a backup service, this is due to the inexact nature of the 'matching process' (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112, for more detail).
    Loss of files from a Disk is certainly possible through media failure.  However, the extent of iTunes Match capacity is solely to influence the content of the cloud.  Perhaps there was a coincident, or pre-existing, failure of the disk which was simply exposed by the iTunes Match interrogation of the disk content.
    There are certainly other services which depending upon your goal may work well.  For example, Google Play with gBeats IOS App works very well.  My use of Match is to synchronise across several computers and to drive Apple TV and an IOS device - other IOS devices still use sync for specific music and are complimented by gBeats for access to the full library when local mobile signal strength is high.
    The strong advice to always start with a secure backup remains but if your primary concern is iTunes Match interfering with physical disk content you can relax - it simply does not have this ability.  (Apology to Sherlock, further investigation required).

  • My hard drive crashed and i lost all my rippped cd songs from the hard drive. Luckily they are all in icloud but how do i get ripped music from icloud to redownload back to the PC all in one go???

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • HT1727 i copied itune music from old hard drive to memory disk the copied onto new hard drive into itunes and music wont play unless removalbe disk is inserted

    i copied itune music from old hard drive to memory disk the copied onto new hard drive into itunes and music wont play unless removalbe disk is inserted

    Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
    Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?

    A Espinoza,
    The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities.  So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
    However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

    I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape.  I thought it would be  better to take it off if I could

  • Moving songs from external hard drive to Itunes library

    I have a bunch of songs on an external hard drive, but my itunes library is on my pc.....I tried to add some of these songs to my library (i played the songs and they were automatically added to the library)....but when i inplugged the external hard drive from my pc and tried to play the songs from the library, it would not let me play them.....an error message came up that stated that the library could not find the device from which the songs came from....why is this?....is there another way to add these songs from the hard drive????

    why is this?
    The Windows version of iTunes doesn't copy content to the iTunes Music folder when importing from another hard disk by default. Connect the drive and choose Consolidate Library from th Library section of the File menu.

  • How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

    How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive?  Will my machine run faster?

    If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
    To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
    Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.
