HT1296 How do you sync music from your library on your mac to your iPod?

This is my first ipod that I have ever had.  I got my mac about 6 months ago and downloaded music onto my itunes on my mac along with syncing cds that I had and putting them on my itunes library.  I just can't seem to find a way to transfer my music that I have from my library onto my ipod.

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

  • HT1351 How do you sync music from pc to ipad

    How do you sync music from pc to ipad pc saying 10.7 version and asking ipad to update itunes but saying no update available

    If you are trying to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad and they are in your computer's iTunes library (if not then you should be able to add ibooks, PDFs and digital-rights-free epbs via File > Add To Library), then you should be able to sync them via the Books tab in a similar way to how you are using the Photos and Music tabs to sync those items. Is that not working, and if not does your computer's iTunes give the impression that they are copying over ?

  • How do you sync music from my iphone to my new macbook?

    I have just purchased a new macbook pro and I was wondering whether there was anyway to transfer music from my iphone to my macbook?
    My previous itunes was on a dell computer so I'm not sure whether I'll have to transfer music from this computer to my macbook. Hopefully there's an easier and quicker way using my iphone!
    Thanks

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

  • HT4527 how do you move music from one library to a new library

    I need to move my music from one itues library to a new library. How do I do this without having to re download all my music CDs?

    Open old library.
    Drag files from iTunes window to a folder on desktop then delete from iTunes.
    Open the new library.
    File > Add file/folder to library and select file/folders you want to move.
    May I ask why you are creating a new library?

  • How do you transfer music from iTunes library to iPad

    I have over 200 songs in my music library, but every time I drag the songs into my iPad library and sync, it still doesn't show up in my music app,on my iPad.

    If you sync your iTunes with your iPad, it deletes all of the music on the iPad.  There is a prompt window that advises the user of this.
    So if you want to drag music to your iPad manually, then do so, but do not sync after performing this task.

  • How do you transfer music from my library to my Ipod playlists?

    When I try to clig and drag music from my Itunes music library to my Ipod playlists, I get a RED circle with a cross thru it.  It doesn't allow me to add any of my music to any playlists.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hello, nwseattle. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The most likely cause for this issue would be that the option for Manually manage music and videos is not enabled.  I would recommend making sure this preference is selected and attempt to drag media to your iPod again.

  • HT1296 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another with different itunes accounts?

    I have a friend who has a first generation ipod that was synced with another itunes account.  He no longer has access to it and forgot login and password.  I bought him another ipod touch 4th generation.  I opened up a new itunes account for him.  He has 470 songs on the old ipod that we want to put on the new ipod touch.  How do we do it with two different itunes.  We wish to use the new account.  Thanks for any help

    Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:

    Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

  • HT1386 how do you sync music to a new computer ?

    How do you sync music from my iPhone 4 to a new computer ?

    Take a look here:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141  I think this is what you need.  I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone to sync with it again...without losing the apps.  This page from OSXdaily is also useful:  http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/  I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone...  It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything.   Hope this helps.

  • How do you sync music into your library from another file

    how do you sync music into your library from another file?  After moving all my music into a new location, is there a quicker way to upload the music into the library rather than adding file by file?

    Hi MonicaJani,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can also add folders of media as described here:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Cheers,
