Getting New Songs to Download Onto My iPod from iTunes

Ok, my computer crashed and I had to download iTunes onto my new one. On my old computer, whenever I added new cds into my iTunes library, all I had to do was plug my iPod into the computer and they would automatically download onto my iPod. On my new computer they aren't and I'm not sure how to get them on there. Any suggestions?

I plug in my iPod and nothing happens when it normally would update automatically. My friend told me to try pressing the "sync" button under the file menu but that doesnt do anything either. It says "Updating iPod. Do not diconnect" at the top, but it doesnt update anything. I had all my syuff set up on another computer that crashed. I installed iTunes on my new computer and nothing has been the same since. I was able to put all the music off my iPod into the iTunes library thanks to someone on this board. But any new cds or songs I buy won't transfer from the library onto the iPod. Its very frustrating. Basically, I plug in my iPod and NOTHING happens. Thats the problem.

I can't get the songs i purchased onto my iPod

i just spent close to $20 on songs from iTunes. I plugged my iPod up to transfer the songs and they wont go through to my iPod. I just checked my library, recently added, and purchased songs. They're all gone. I checked earlier and they were there, but now they're not. I paid for the songs, but didn't get them!!! What should i do?

Go to the advence menu, then click on something like Search bought items... (I have a french version of iTunes... dunno in english). The search engine will tell you if your download are still there. Second, search your computerfo the song title you've lost. And : you know now that you should make a CD/DVD Backup of you're bought items...

I can't get my podcasts to download on my ipod? What am I doing wrong?

I can't get my podcasts to download on my ipod?

Hey wingrider97,
Are you trying to download the Podcasts on iTunes, and then sync them over to your iPod? Or are you attempting to download them directly to your iPod using the Podcast app? Depending on your answer, one of the following documents might help:

Once a song is downloaded onto my ipod (4th gen.) how can I delete it when I no longer want it?

Once a song has been downloaded onto my ipod nano 4th generation, is there anyway to remove it, deleting it from my ipod?

Yes.
How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab. You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to the Summary tab over to the right. Look for the Music tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device. If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove). Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

I can't copy purchased songs from iTunes onto my iPod on my new computer.

I have an HP Pavilion zd7000 notebook computer. It's used. It was given to me by a family member. I put my iPod software onto it. I can purchase songs from iTunes, and I can connect my iPod and play the music. However, when I tried to put a purchased song from iTunes onto my iPod, I was told that I wasn't allowed. Is there some sort of security thing I don't know about?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
For details, see this Apple article:
About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
I hope this helps you,

Home Share - can't get some songs from iTunes onto iPod

I have an old PC I had originally downloaded iTunes on. I have a new laptop with iTunes as well. I used Home Share and everything is great - both libraries show on both computers. The problem is that I have one song and one video that I have purchased from iTunes on my new laptop and I'm unable to load either onto my 160GB iPod. I'm using Windows Vista on the laptop and XP on the PC. Since both items show in both libraries, why can't I get either synced onto the iPod? I've tried syncing from both the PC and the laptop with no success. Anyone else have this particular problem?

Bump...

Can't get purchased songs from iTunes onto shuffle

Hi, Can someone help me. I purchased songs recently and now I can't get them onto device. Here is is the error message
<<<the iPod Lauren cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.>>>>
What can I do?
Thanks.

In iTunes, try the Store menu - use the Authorize Computer option.
Or you might have reached a limit on authorized devices (I think the limit is 5). I get pretty close with cell phones, nav system and shuffle on same iTunes account.

Can I get my songs from my windows formatted Ipod to my Itunes for mac??

I just recently switched over to mac and I'm having a bit of trouble getting started. I have all my songs and pictures on my Ipod formatted to windows and I was wondering if it was possible to get those songs and pics on my new macbook??

what about my pics??
That part I don't know. I have never used my iPod for pictures.
If you click on your iPod in the Finder, does a Pictures folder show up? If so, you could just drag it over.

Had to reset. can't get my apps (games) back onto my ipod

I had to reset my ipod touch bc some of my music wouldn't play. I was able to download my music from itunes again, but can't get my apps (games ) to download from itunes.

Reset or you mean restore/update? In tunes, right-click the device on the left of the itunes window and select resore purchased apps.
Btw, apps purchased with different apple-id will not be restored to the unit, unless you know the password and use that apple-id during synching with itunes.

HT202213 Can't get music from shared library onto my iPod?

I have managed to set up home sharing, and I can see the shared library when I'm in my iTunes account, but I cannot transfer stuff from that library to my iPod. I'm using a PC, the library I'm sharing is on a Mac, and I'm trying to get music onto an iPod Nano. Any help?

More on this issue. So I see songs in my Music library, but when I try to move them over to either my created playlist on the device or under the playlist it show the circle with the line through it, not allowing me to move it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

HT1473 How do I get the songs from itunes onto my ipod?

How do I get the songs I just purchased from itunes on to my ipod?

,I am trying to add a new CD that I imported to iTunes to my iPhone 5s. I have tried all these steps in the tutorial link above. Nothing has added the CD. I used to never have problems with this, but with this phone and the iOs updates, it's now so difficult.
any more suggestions? TY!

Can't get certain songs to update correctly.

Apologies if this has been discussed previously; I searched but didn't come up with anything.
I got my iPod for Christmas, and have been happily using it since. Through the ipod, I've discovered that the majority of my mp3 collection's id3 tags are incorrect, so I've been editing them manually. It's a tedious task, so I do 30 or so, sync my ipod, and call it a day.
The last set of songs I updated and synced is where I'm running into problems. On one CD's worth of songs, I've got a song that is correctly listed in itunes as song 5 of 15, but on ipod, it keeps showing up as the first on the list. The second problem is that, on this CD and another CD that I fixed the tags for on the same day, the album artwork is only showing on about half the songs.
First I tried removing just the affected song(s) and then adding it back to the itunes library and re-syncing the ipod, and when that didn't work, I tried the 5 R's... still nothing. Has anyone had similar problems, or have any suggestions for me?

Seems I've answered my own question.
The song that kept coming up out of order - was because it had the Album Artist and Composer fields filled in, while on the rest of those songs, those 2 fields were blank.
The album artwork - iTunes couldn't find the cover art, so I'd downloaded it manually and added it to the first song in the list. Seems you have to add it to every song, or else it'll show up in iTunes but not iPod.
Thanks to everybody who read this and thought about answering =)

I lost all my songs in ITunes due to virus. How can I back up what I downloaded onto my IPOD. Already transferred purchases.

I lost all songs in ITunes due to virus. How can I back up from my IPOD what I previously downloaded from CD's . I have already transferred my purchases.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
