HT1296 I have tried to transfer some songs to my ipod. I can see them in light Grey. But i cannot play  them when i click on them

I have tried to transfer music to my ipod. I can see the song in light Grey letters. When i click on them they won't play. What do i need to do to be able to play these songs?

The songs do play OK in iTunes, right?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resyc
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:       
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have purchase some song on my macbook on my iphone and on my ipad but i cannot see them on all devices. Do i have to buy them again for each device?

    I have purchase some songs on my ipad but i cannot find them on my mac and on my iphone. Do i need to purchase them again for every device. I am using only one account on all devices.
    Thanks for helping me.

    Check the location of your iTunes library in the preferences, and navigate to that folder.  The contents will vary depending on how onld teh library is etc, but there should be a folder for applications.  If you do not see it, navigate to the App Store within iTunes and download a free app.   Then go look again.  Copy your old apps from the CD into this location.  You will need to ensure that whatever iTunes ID was used to purchase them originally is authorised in the new iTunes library.

  • I can't transfer some songs to my ipod from itunes

    I subscribe to itunes match. When highlighting certain songs in itunes where a cloud symbol has appeared next to them, I get the following message: "the song................could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" If I press the locate button it takes me to a windows file search screen (giving me no clues as what to do next), but if I cancel it finds the song and an arrow appears at the base of the cloud symbol next to it. If I click the symbol now it eventually disappears and the problem seems resolved. ie it plays when highlighted and can be dragged and dropped onto my ipod. On other songs the cloud symbol appears next to them but with an exclamation mark in it and "Error" in the icloud status column (Whereas "matched" appears next to the others). I get the same message as before and if I cancel the song is found. The difference is that when I now click on the cloud symbol, I get the message "The item was not added to the iCloud as an error occurred", the exclamation mark reappears, "error" remains in the icloud status column and the song will not drag onto my ipod. I can't find a way round this.
    I manually manage my music and am preparing to revert to syncing my ipod . I have many playlists in itunes and looking through them there is a scattering of these cloud symbols throughout against random songs. The clear symbols I can alter as above (though it will take ages) but I don't think I will be able to sync the ones with the - ! - mark in the cloud symbol next to them. I have in excess of 10,000 songs - 99.9% from my cd collection.
    This is very frustrating especially as these songs I have manually stored on my computer from my cds but iTunes match appears to be denying me access to a significant amount of them. Any help would be appreciated.

  • In finder, I have periodically a "shared" PC showing up. I have Java, I think someone is trying to access my computer but i cannot find anything when I click on the shared item, just a PC with numbers.

    hp3cd92ba6f70c. I have tried removing it from finder from the previuos discussions instuctions  but cannot. I have two mac laptops, Ipad and two iphones that connect wifi. Not a PC in the house., Ideas? do they have access to my computer? Has someone broken through to my wifi?

    When you turn on your Mac is will search for any computers that it's possible to connect to. You can't connect with any of them unless you and other computer user set up a sharing network.
    It's like looking through a window. You can see someone on the other side but can't communicate with them unless you open the window and shout at them.

  • Purchased a movie on my iPhone throught iTunes? I can see it on my computer but I cannot get it to my iPad. I have been looking at all the setting on my computer, iPad and iPhone and I still can't view it on my iPad. How can I view it on my iPad?

    I purchased a movie on my iPhone through iTunes. I can see it on my pc and I shared all my media. I am unable to watch it or download it to my iPad. I am using the same email account for all devices for home sharing. I am not sure what the issue is with this and I have check and rechecked many settings many times. How can I view a movie I purchased on iTunes on one device, on all my other devices?

    If it's a rental film (not a purchased film) that you downloaded on your phone then you can't move it to your computer's iTunes - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Trying to fix my rss feed for resubmitting, I can see cover art and subscribe but don't see my episodes.

    I've submitted my RSS feed and it came back with an error. I was able to fix the problem and can now see my cover art and subscribe to my podcast, but the episode is not there for me to listen to. My feed comes back ok on the feed testers. So I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
    Here is my feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/TsCfT
    Im not the most tech savvy person and it took a lot for me to get it to where its at now. Any help would be great full thanks.

    There is no file at the address you give for your feed, probably you've mistyped it.
    You've fallen over a bug in the automated part of the submissions process whereby you are told a feed has already been submitted even if it was subsequently rejected or removed. I'm afraid the workaround is indeed to change the title (the name of your podcast) slightly - you can change it back once accepted provided doing so does not change the feed URL. If you can change the feed filename, and hence its URL, this is also a good idea, as is changing the URL in the 'link' tag (this can easily be changed back afterwards).

    First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.

    1)  From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
