I can no longer add songs to my Ipod touch

These are the things I have done:
I cleared space, as mine doesn't have a lot of it.
I updated both itunes and Ipod software
I have restarted both my Mac and my Ipod.
I have checked to ensure that "manually add songs" or whatever it says is enabled
The plus sign appears and once it even said "Updating files on 'Aquarius' " but when I checked, there was nothing there.
I don't want to go to the apple store as its a bit of a treck and Im disabled so its not that easy.
Please help, music is the only thing that makes it better and the new GreenDay comes out in a few hours.

I fixed it. Had to do a complete restore. Bleh! But so glad to have my baby back.
Thanks for viewing!

  • Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

    I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

    What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages?  Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
    How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

  • How Can I Play All Songs On My IPod Touch at Same Volume?

    I have an IPod Touch 5th Generation which I bought this year. I also have a 4 year old  Apple IMac desktop with ITunes version  11.0.4(4).
    I have the latest version of OS Mountain Lion.
    I sync songs from ITunes on my IMac desktop to the IPod Touch. Songs play back at different volumes on the IPod Touch.
    I want them all to play at the same volume.
    Almost all of the songs in my ITunes on my IMac were downloaded from many different music websites,
    very few from the Apple Store.
    I also have an IPod Nano 5th Generation which I bought a few years ago. I copied songs from ITunes on my desktop to my IPod Nano.
    But I did not sync them. Just transferred or copied many of the songs from ITunes, without syncing.  The ITunes songs appear to play at equal volume on
    my IPod Nano but not on my IPod Touch. For Settings on my IPod Touch, I set Sound Check to On.
    Regarding ITunes Preferences (ITunes is on my desktop IMac):
    The Sound Enhancer and the Sound Check are both checked, and have been checked for a long time. Therefore all the songs
    on my IPod Touch should all be played at the same volume, shouldn't they, since they were synced from ITunes.
    Doesn't the Sound Check on ITunes control that?
    If they all play on the same volume on my ITunes, shouldn't all songs play on the same volume on my IPod Touch?
    I noticed today the Crossfade in ITunes Preferences on my IMac was not checked. I thought it had been, but maybe I accidentally unchecked it one day.
    I checked it today but was not sure what time to put on it. I put the time in the middle, which is about 6 seconds. Not sure if this is OK.
    I'd like one song to come on just about when the previous song ends. Any suggestions? (There does not seem to be a Crossfade option
    in the ITouch Music Settings). If I use Crossfade in ITunes, will it crossfade when I play the IPod Touch, since it synced the ITunes?
    Also, I have the music setting for EQ on my IPod Touch set to OFF. I assume I don't need this, but please let me know if I do.

    Settings>Music>Sound Check will HELP to normalise the volume of your music but it only averages it out.

  • No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...

    Yesterday, I decided to plug my mom's ipod into my macbook to transfer some songs onto the ipod for her. After transferring songs onto her ipod, using my macbook and itunes, I plugged my ipod back in to sync and delete songs. However, that option is no longer working. My ipod syncs, but I'm not able to delete/add songs, playlists, etc... I tried deauthorizing the laptop and reauthorizing it through itunes, restarting my ipod and laptop, and reinstalling itunes. But, nothing seems to work. Help please!

    Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
    1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
    2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
    3) download and install the above version 605.
    I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • How can i add songs to my ipod touch???????

    apparently apple has done another update, and a whole revamp of the original layout and i can not find ANYTHING any more. updates dont work and it says my 2000 pictures are gone and my 500 songs show as only 1 song.....which is the ONE new song i just added. what the heck did they do????? how can i upload anything?????
    I promise you i will NEVER EVER buy anything from apple ever again. This has been my first and final purchase because they seem to make it soooooo overly complicated that i just want to smash the machine to bits and go buy something else.....which is in the very near future. I can get a $50 mp3 touch screen player with 32GB through walmart right now that does EVERYTHING this ipod touch does and if it breaks WHO CARES IT WAS $50!!!! Unlike the $400 i spent on this piece of crap. But the best feature on the cheap walmart one is the ability to use it and understand it!!!
    So for now, because i am giving this pos to my son to play with all he wants, how do i get it to add songs?????
    Thank you.

    I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

    Then you can sync whatever content you wish:

  • Why Can't I Add Songs To My Ipod From Another Computer Without Erasing The Ones I Already Have?

    I have an "Ipod Touch 4 generation" and I have two computers located in my home. I have authorized both computers for my ipod. Why is that when I go to a computer and authorize it, it will not let me download the songs on that computer, without erasing the ones I have already on my Ipod?

    Hi
    This is because your iPod can only be synced with one computer, not just one iTunes account.

  • Why can't I add photos to my iPod Touch?

    Using iTunes 10.2.2
    iTunes Help instructions "Add photos to iPod, iPhone, and iPad" just downloaded.
    Instructions say "To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”"
    There is no “Include full-resolution photos.” only an "Include videos"
    Instructions say to "Click Apply."  There is no "Apply."
    I check "Sync Photos From" and select the album I want to sync.
    I click on "Sync Photos From" and get the message:
    "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPod “iPod touch”. Would you like iTunes to remove photos previously copied to your iPod?"
    Why don't the instruction match the iTunes screen?
    How can I add my photos to my iPod Touch?

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. For its location:

  • I can't play a song on my iPod touch?

    Well, I transferred a song from iTunes to my iPod touch, and the lettering is grey, I can't select it to play!

    This is because the format of the file may be incorrect, if you downloaded this file as an mp3 from a 3rd party website and synced it to your device this sometimes happens, try downloading a song from the on-device itunes store (normally for a small price) or if you currently have no credit to purchase anything try syncing an mp3 file from windows media player to the ipod. if you don't get any positive results, try contacting apple directly or taking your device into an apple store to get it checked out. hope this helps.

  • TS1702 After installing the latest itunes, I can no longer sync Apps to my ipod touch. I have restored it to original settings and now old apps won't install please help.

    My ipod touch will no longer sync apps since I downloaded the new Itunes. I have restored it to original setting in hopes that would work, but now I have lost all my apps and even old ones will no longer sync. Can anyone help?

    What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

  • Why can't I add videos to my iPod touch 4th gen?

    I have updated my 4th gen iPod touch to the most recent iOS, 6.1.2. I want to put videos in it. I have already converted my videos to the appropriate format and put them in iTunes. But when I drag the icon of the video to the iPod touch icon, it won't work. On the other hand, when I do the same to the iPod classic, it works like a charm. How come I can't add videos to my 4th gen iPod touch? HELP!

    I would try placing the movies in the iTunes movie library and then using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the advanced tab of iTunes.  It is likely that the format is not compatible with the iPod.  There are many variations in the mp4 format and all are not compatible the iPod.

  • Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

    I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

    What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

  • Why can't I play songs on my iPod touch

    I just updated my iPod touch operating system to 5.0.1.
    Now some (almost all) of the song titles are not highlited so I can't touch them to play.
    What can I do?

    - Try a reet. Nothing wil be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  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/delete all the music from the iPod and resync
    - Restore from backup

  • Lightroom 4.4 can no longer import photos from my iPod Touch 5

    I've been importing photos from my iPod via USB without problems for over 6 months. In the last few days, importing from this device slowed down significantly. As of yesterday, the program freezes completely when I try to import (although it had worked earlier - albeit slowly - during that same session.)
    I've tried:
    Restarting the program, computer, and iPod.
    Closing all other programs.
    Removing all other external devices from the computer.
    Uninstalling the computer's USB hubs and restarting.
    Deleting all videos from the iPod's camera roll.
    Reducing the size of the camera roll (down to 650 from about 800).
    Nothing has worked.
    I'm still able to import fine from other sources (an external hard drive & a memory card).
    Weirdly, I plugged in my husband's iPod Touch - which until then had never been used in Lightroom - and it also froze at import, so it seems to be a problem with the type of device rather than the device itself.
    I'm running Windows 8 64-bit with 3.3 GHz Intel processor and 6 GB RAM.

    I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
    I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.
