HT2527 Music won't sync to ipod

I have purchased some new music on itunes on my computer with windows 8. Wehn I try to sync my ipod the music won't transfer to the ipod. Any thoughts?

You can only automatically sync all media to one computer/iTunes library. You can sync music and videos from any iTunes library/computer if you use the manual method included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you wan to make this your one syncing computer/iTunes library:

    After I updated to iTunes 9.0.3.15 I tried to sync my iPod Touch. All went well until this error message popped up; "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "headstrong", were not copied to the iPod "Sam's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." ok so I go and authorize it type in my PW and Apple ID correctly and get this error message!; "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please Try Again later."
    I run diagnostics and this is what I got and pass all the tests except for the CD in the drive, could anyone please help? It won't allow me to sync any apps to my iTouch and half of my purchased music.

    Are you on a Mac? I found this [Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2433]
    This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
    may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
    This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
    Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
    Hope that helps.

  • Music Won't Sync to Ipod Touch 3rd gen

    I bought a song called "No Surrender" By skillet today. It played as it should until I synced it later today.
    After I synced it, I couldn't play it on my ipod anymore.

    What does i couldn't play it anymore mean?
    Does it just doesnt do anything when you select the song?
    Does it give an error playing the song`?

  • HT1351 some of my newly purchased music won't sync

    Some of my newly purchased music won't sync, even though I converted it to the proper format.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store does not need to be converted before being used on iPods.  Music from most other sources, such as Amazon, is in MP3 format and does not need to be converted.  So, can you explain "even though I converted it to the proper format"?

  • Music won't sync in ios 8.1

    iTunes impossible to sync - My itunes music won't sync. I have tried it all, resetting, deleting the library and reloading, turning on and off all the possible related buttons on iphone and itunes and still mosto of the music is still with a doted circle on the left that keeps the song grayed and although I hit SYNC nothing happens. Then,  there are songs on the iPhone 6 that are not on the iTunes library. How can that be possible?

    According to http://robservatory.com/a-nasty-little-itunesios-bug-may-be-causing-media-sync-i ssues/, this is an iTunes/iOS bug that has to do with duplicates (or what iTunes thinks are duplicates) in your library.  Rob gives a fix for the problem in the post, but it involves deleting the "duplicates".  If you're like me and don't want to delete them because they aren't really duplicates, hopefully the fix will come soon.

  • IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

    I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

    What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
    Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
    Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

  • My music won't sync from computer to ipod

    My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

    Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
    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 resync
    - 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.

  • Music won't sync on 2nd Generation Ipod Touch

    My husband recently accidently reset his Ipod touch and lost all of his music. When attempting to sync the Ipod with his library, only his photos were transferred to the Ipod. I checked the settings on Itunes and on the Ipod and I don't see anything amiss. Any suggestions?

    Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account of that of the music on the computer? To sign in on the iPod go to Settings>Store and sign in.

  • ITunes 7.0.2 wiped everything, won't sync w/iPod

    I just updated to iTunes 7.0.2 and when I started up for the 1st time there were no songs or playlists to be found. It was like I had started from scratch.
    I managed to find my music files and "Add to Library", but now iTunes won't sync to my iPod. There is an error message that says my iPod is synched to another iTunes library - the one that disappeared after the update. I want to sync so that all my playlists will be restored.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get my iPod to be recognized by this new version of Itunes?

    which generation ipod are you using? and also pls update your os to 10.4.8, itunes 7.0.2 works well with updated version.
