How do I copy music from itunes to a USB stick?  I can't click and drag - it bounces back

How do I copy music from my computer to a USB stick?  It won't let me click and drag - it bounces back.

If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

    Are you using Finder to try and transfer, or are you using iTunes?
    Using Finder should yield no "Decoder" error.

    how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

    You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
    - sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
    - use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
    - download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

    How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

    hi,
    it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
    Windows 7:
    \username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP:
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Music/iTunes/
    In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

  • HT1473 How do you move music from itunes on a windows computer to an iPhone 5,  Music from my existing collection?

    How do you move music from itunes in a XP computer to an iPhone 5?

    You copy the content of your iTunes Library to the iPhone by connecting to the iPhone to your computer, using the USB lead that came wiht the phone, and allowing iTunes and the iPhone to Sync with one another.
    This will leave the content in your iTunes Library. An iPhone (or iPod) is not desinged to be the only location for your music (or other content). The idea is that the iPhone (or iPod) has a copy of the Library.

    You can copy iTunes purchased music from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
    To copy back non-iTunes music (e.g. music copied from CDs and synced to the phone) you will need a third-party program on your computer - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • HT1689 How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad

    How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad (music that I downloaded from iTunes)

    You don't, directly. You can either sync your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and then sync the music to your iPad, or you can download the tracks again using your iPad.
