I can't get songs to load onto ipod nano touch

My brand new iPod Nano will only load 18 songs of the over 100 in my library. I tried synching several times and that didn't work. Then I tried selecting and dragging them to the iPod, which in iTunes looked like it was working, but they are not on my Nano. What's up?

If you have a bunch of pictures or video on your Nano, you might be out of space. Otherwise, it may just be that the music is in the wrong format for your iPod. Try removing it from iTunes and adding it to the library again, making sure to say "yes" to the converting prompt.

How can I get songs (from CDs) on my Nano onto my laptop? Do I have to rip all the CD's again just becasue I'm using a different computer?

How can I get all my songs (from CDs) onto my laptop from my Nano?
Do I have to rip all those CDs again even though they are on the Nano?
I thought I was allowed to have multiple PCs and use the sync feature. Yet when I plug in the Nano the message says it will sync to what's on my laptop which are only a few songs I've purchased!!
I thought Apple was better than that?! And to think I was going to purchase an iPad! But if I can't synch my music to other devices, why bother.
In order to get my music to iCloud via iMatch, I guess I have to rip them all again! What a pain in the butt...:(

Help please! I can't get songs from icloud onto my laptop.

Hi, I have had a terrible time with my music and iTunes of late. All of which I am sure is because I have installed and unistalled so many times in the last 3 weeks that
I have created a huge mess. I can see the songs in itunes - (most have been purchased) but when I try to listen to them, put them in a playlist and try to burn a cd- I get a message stating that they are not on my computer. I have been trying to download songs from the icloud to my laptop and I get a message that states:
The file name was invalid or too long. Please check that connection to the network is active and try again.
or
There were problems downloading some purchase items.
Before this whole nightmare began I had added "google drive" to my computer and I think that alot of the files are stored there. When I open the music folder the thread goes on and on.and on.. So frustrated. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I fixed my problem - yours might be different, but it might be the same too . . . My problem was similar to what you described. The hardware connected sound was there but the device seemed to not be recognized. Turned out that it was just running very very very very very slowly (thinking that it was an old as hell Iomega Zip dri've)
The Creative device was using a driver written by Iomega (that was the tip off)
Once I got rid of the Iomega stuff, it works fine.
If you have any slower (older?) mass storage dri'ves - you might try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem . . .
good luck

Can't get songs from library to ipod

hi
i just bought an ipod yesterday. I was able to get songs from my cd's to the library. I can't get the songs from the library to my ipod. When i look in the user guide, i see an option button which looks like it should be in the bottom right hand corner. My itunes does not have this button. I even removed programs and downloaded from apple website. What am i doing wrong.

hi!
* Sorry for my last post, this is want i want you to search for:
SYNC/ERASE
* using the latest iPod Updater and iTunes Correctly:
1. Run iPod updater, then connect your iPod shuffle
2. After it recognizes the iPod, run iTunes
3. The iTunes will not recognize the iPod shuffle.
4. Close the iPod updater, iTunes will now recognize the iPod shuffle
5. You could now sync/erase your songs
* I think the iPod shuffle updater program conflicts with iTunes program:
Coz, if you just connect your iPod shuffle and let the iTunes run automatically, the iTunes will recognize it while the windows will recognize it for just a sec then disconnects it, that's why you couldn't sync/erase yor songs.
** Only tested in iPod shuffle, but i think this will work too if you got the same problems.
* wait 5-10 sec for each steps (1-3)
i hope this would help you!..

Old computer died - can only get recently purchased music on ipod nano

Hi,
My old laptop packed in suddenly, had no back up, my fault. I downloaded itunes on my new laptop and was happy to see that although cd's I had put on my old computer were gone, I still had music which I had purchased from itunes. However, when plugging my ipod nano in (2nd generation), the only music which it gives me the option of putting on is music which I have recently purchased, using my new laptop.
On looking at a few other forums I thought I should restore my nano and then maybe I could transfer all music, not just the new items, but no. Still only comes up with the 28 songs…even though in my itunes library I have several more. So now I have next to no music as everything got deleted when I restored the nano. I have clicked the “sync music” and “entire music library” to no avail. Still only the recent songs. Please help me. I know I’ll have to put my cds back on (and will back up this time)..but surely I should be able to get the music I have already paid for through itunes?
Any help appreciated, hope this is enough info,
Cheers
KC

Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

Help! I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
M

I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

How can you get songs already on your iPod back into iTunes?

I previously posted this question under a really bad title and got no answers, so here's a quick summary with a more relevant title:
Due to some mistakes I made, I lost most of my music library from my computer (& iTunes), but I still have all the songs on my iPod (which I backed up). The problem is that if I try to sync it with iTunes, iTunes simply tries to ERASE any songs on my iPod that aren't already in iTunes. Even if I set the synchronization to manual, which would stop the erasing, I still don't know how to get the songs back onto my computer. (They are stored in an unusuable form on the iPod.)
Below is the original post with more details. This can't be such an unusual situation - there must be a way to recover songs on your iPod back to your computer...
Note to Apple: I'd love to buy a lot more from the Apple store but I can't use iTunes at all until I resolve this.
I had to get a new computer. (I'm using a PC but I love Macs.) The new computer is running XP Pro and I have a 4th generation iPod (click wheel).
Initially I copied the iPod music directory from the old computer to the new one and launched iTunes. It worked - but 60% of my library was missing, including all but 2 of my purchased songs!
Luckily I still have my entire library on my iPod. So I backed up my iPod, then uninstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes directory from my PC. Then I reinstalled iTunes. Guess what? Somehow it still remembered the previous library (with 60% missing!) And when it saw my iPod attached, it deleted all the songs to match!
Lucky I made that backup - I copied it back to my iPod and things seem fine. But how do I get the songs from my iPod back into iTunes? Especially the ones I purchased from the Apple store. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you kind folks.

Same songs keep loading onto iPod

My library includes a number of albums ripped from CD and a number of albums and individual songs purchased from iTunes.
One particular album, purchased from iTunes, has ten songs. Every second time (not every time) I resync the iPod to the PC, all ten songs on the album get reloaded onto the iPod. This only happens to the songs on this one album.
How can I put a stop to this?

> I don't know if this will help but it should.
Open iTunes and then go to the "View" tab on the top
and then select "Show Duplicate Songs."
Interesting idea, but not a help. It shows everything called "overture" from several sound-track and show-tune CDs, and I have a lot of tracks just called something like "Track 14"; but the songs that I originally posted about did not show up on the list.
Incidentally, after I hooked up the iPod and re-synched, the "show duplicates" option disappeared from the View menu!

I'm a newb-how do you get songs onto ipod nano?

i have iTunes, but i don't know how to get songs off iTunes, onto iPod, help!

Firstly, you must put some songs into your iTunes, e.g. rip the song from the CD. Once the song appear on the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and you need to register your iPod with the iTunes, then make a choice whether you would like to do a sync manually or auto.
By the way, seems that you are using window 98, I am not too sure whether it manages to support the iPod Nano, you need minimum XP or 2000

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.
