HT1848 I'm trying to sync my iTunes library to my new iPod Classic.

Most of the songs sync fine, but 70 of them won't. An error message says the computer isn't authorized. It is. I tried to de-authorize it and then re-authorize it, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I am unable to synch music from selected playlists in my iTunes library onto my new iPod Classic, despite meticulously following the User Guide.

    I just purchased an iPod Classic, and after making sure I had the latest ver. of iTunes on my Intel MacMini, printed out the User Guide and carefully began learning how to operate the iPod. My first step was to ensure I had manual control (vs. auto synch) because I want only selected songs and playlists on the iPod, not my whole iTunes Library.
    On pg. 24 of the Guide is the topic "Synching music from selected playlists onto iPod Classic." Just what I wanted. OK, I selected iPod "in the source list" (aside: Shouldn't it be "in the device list?" I dispair of imprecision). This brought up the iPod Summary page, showing I had selected Open iTunes when connected and Manually manage music and videos. Next I clicked on the Music tab.
    This presented me with Synch Music next to an empty check box. Below it, and entirely grayed out was:
    Entire music library (showing a checked box)
    Selected Playlists, artists, albums and genres (next to an unchecked box).
    There's also a third grayed out item: Include music videos that is checked.
    When I selected Synch Music, I got the message: "Are you sure you want to removed existing mlusic, movies and TV shows from the iPod and synch with this iTunes LIbrary?   I selected Cancel because:
    1. The grayed option Entire Music Library is checked, not mly preferred option of Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. .
    2. I can't find anywhere in the User Guide how to "Select the Playlists" I want to synch to my iPod. At present all I have in iTunes is my list of playlists in the left hand side bar.
    OK, my first thought was the checked box in the iPod's Summary window: Manually manage music and videos. So I went there and unchecked it, which immediately brought up an alert  to the effect "Are you sure you want to automatically synch your entire iTunes library, etc. etc...? I quickly cancelled. Thus, I seem to be in a Catch-22 situation. 
    So the questions are:
    How do I resolve the Synch Music issue so I am assured only selected playlists will be sent to my iPod?
    How do I create a list of playlists in my iTunes library to be transferred to my iPod?
    How do I manually move a playlist in my iTunes library to my iPod's lists of playlists?
    Any help much appreciated. Thanks to all.

    For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
    There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware.  The iPod's storage is a mounted volume.  If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
    Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF.  With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk.  Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem.  You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.

    iCloud has nothing to do with your iTunes library sync. iTunes handles that.

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • I am trying to sync my music library to my new iPhone 5C and cannote seem to get the music to sync.  It is in the library but isn't going over to my phone.

    I am trying to sync my music library to my new iPhone 5C and cannot seem to get the music to sync.  It is in the library but isn't going over to my phone.
    I must be doing something wrong during the sync (something checked when it should not bet, etc)  Need some help.  Thanks!!

    Manually manage music is NOT checked.  I backed up all my phone information from my old 3GS phone to my computer, then connected my new phone to sync.  Everything else seems ok but music won't transfer.  It is set to automatically sync when connected.

  • I cannot download my old itunes library to my new ipod - please help!!!!

    Unfortunately in August 2006 someone nicked my Ipod mini - thanks! So my insurance co. replaced it with an ipod nano. I've installed the new software disk that came with my ipod nano and hooked up with the old itunes library to my new ipod nano. Simple huh? Not likely. It says I have too many tunes in my itunes library to download to my new ipod. However the mini and nano are both the same size -4G so why now is it telling my I have too many songs to download to my ipod nano? I have even deselected some from the library but no luck. My old ipod mini was not full to capacity anyway? any ideas?
    It could be that my current pc is not logged to the internet - AOL fault currently being sorted but surely that should not stop me updating my ipod? The tunes are in the library the new 4g ipod (allbeit a nano and not a mini as was) is connected yet the **** thing says I have too many tunes selcted to download WHEN I KNOW I DONT! Help......... please does anyone have a clue where i'm going wrong its driving my nuts!

    Why not?  What happens when  you try?
    Is the content selected to sync?

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

  • I just purchased a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone and I am trying to sync my iTunes library from my Windows laptop.  How can I sync my iTunes library to all devices?

    I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (13 inch with Retina display), an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6 plus.  Before these purchases, I was using a Windows 7 laptop to manage my iTunes library and iTunes purchases.  I am in need of syncing my iTunes library on my iPod classic (160 GB) with all of my new Apple devices.  How can I sync my iTunes library with all of my new devices?

    Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized.  You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Moving my itunes library onto my new ipod

    I get a brand new 30 gig video capable ipod. Honestly I don't care about the video I just want the album covers as I browse my music. I've gone to great lengths to convert my old CD and tape collections to mp3 and even in spite of losing some hard drives over the years still have most of it. I supplemented JUST SOME of my still owned tapes and cd's out of convenience from Limewire and other such sources... but this is a very small part of my collection. SO... My legal library is mixed with all kinds of conversions as tech was available over the years is now in itunes. I buy this brand new spiffy 30 gig video ipod from the apple store yesterday on Michigan Ave.
    I get it home and plug it into my stand by home (little used) imac... (purple if you must know) and proceed to watch itunes sync to it. It finishes and I look at my ipod... nothing in any music category at all... I reset it and do this again... nothing... mind you this is an imac running 10.3.9 and with itunes 7.1.1 Then I go to the support pages here and read some things on the internet that basically say if you didn't buy it from the apple itunes site or rip it with itunes... it won't be recognized by your ipod. Is this really true?
    I can't put my legally purchased original copy of aqualung that I took the time to convert from tape via a convoluted mess of hardware into digital... let alone ultimately mp3 format... on my new nearly 300 dollar ipod???
    My ipod shows in itunes fine and even shows the music (greyed) and the space it is taking etc. in itunes.
    But if you scroll into the menu on the ipod,for music, there is nothing.
    I had a 20 gig old ipod and the drive on it crashed but it didn't have all these rules etc. i'm reading about with it.
    It was great until it died.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I really can't sync my library to my new ipod unless I repurchase all this music?
    Should I take a single box (of many boxes) of my CD's and tapes to Michigan ave. and drop them on the door to illustrate how much music I actually own?
    Why does itunes say I'm sync'd and even show the space it took up on the ipod and yet not allow me to play anything as if I had no music on it?
    HELP!

    Have you tried just resetting your iPod while it is connected to your computer?
    I am assuming your iPod is showing a large amount of data in "Other" and nothing in music?
    The problem may have to do with ID3 tags in your MP3 songs and not in the format of the songs, but you might right click on one in your iTunes, click Get Info and post the results here.
    There is nothing that says if you didn't rip it with iTunes or buy it from iTunes it can't be on the iPod. There are posts here where people have used other converters and the resulting files have bit rates that cause problems for some iPods. And you can't play protected songs from other sources on the iPod with first burning them to CD and then ripping them. Whatever you read on the Internet was not correct, and you probably aren't going to collect from that Nigerian bank either.
    Incidentally, acquiring music from Limewire and "other such sources" would make your statement of "My legal library" not quite true.

  • Transferring music from another itunes account to my new ipod classic

    Hi, first time posting. I have recently got an iPod classic for xmas and have transferred all my music off my laptop onto the device. However I am having issues trying to put another 5000 tracks off another laptop owned by someone else in my household onto it. They have their own itunes account and an ipod touch, initially we hoped I could use the ipod touch to transfer the music files to my itunes and then onto my ipod, however it is apparently clear that without paying for a programme this is not possible. So is there any way to transfer all the tracks by attaching my ipod to their laptop and downloading directly from their itunes.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    PS. I believe I can use a USB stick to transfer from one laptop to another, or simply use his entire cd collection and install one at a time however both these methods for the size of the collection would take a long time which is not ideal as rarely in at the same time.

    No matter how you ask the question, or how many times, the answer will always be no. Itunes content is DRM protected & tied forever to the account that was used to originally purchase it.
