I can't get three songs onto my 2nd gen shuffle
I can't get 3 songs onto my 2nd generation Shuffle (bought 1 week ago). I can get anything else on with no trouble, just drag and drop, but these 3 songs I can't get on, I drag them over the "iPod" icon and they don't do anything, they just sit there and no little plus sign appears. Any other songs, the little plus sign appears and they get put on no problem.
These 3 songs are from a CD I bought and paid for. Every other song from CDs I own that I've tranferred to iTunes will go onto the Shuffle with no difficulty, but not these three.
To make matters worse, these 3 songs are from the only CD that actually mattered to me - it's a relaxation disk that was the whole reason I bought the shuffle in the first place. I had them on my old iPod that died last month and they went onto it no problem.
Why won't they transfer onto my shuffle?
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.9.
Bingo. Thank you! I encoded them in "Apple lossless" when I originally uploaded. Among other things, the files were huge - I'd never noticed. (It didn't matter on my big old 40 MB, now playing in the Choir Invisible...) - I just changed the settings to convert it to (some other format) when it uploaded to the Shuffle, and everything is now fine.

i have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Hi! I just bought a new laptop and have downloaded itunes and signed in. When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs. How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? Also, will itunes still recognize my ipod on my new computer when I plug it in? I have a Dell with Windows 7 and an ipod nano, I think. Why can't I just plug my ipod in and "sync" it? Will that move my CD music into my library on itunes? Thanks for any help! Soooo confusing!!!
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -

Can I use Bluetooth on my 2nd gen IPod
Yes if you update to you iPod to at least iOS 2 or 3 or so. The 2G can go to iOS 4.2.1. You need iTunes 10 or later on the computer.You indicate you iOS 1.x. That indicates that you have a 1G iPod, That iPod does not have BT.

Old computer is broke, how can I get my songs onto the new computer?
My other computer with Itunes and all my songs was dropped and broke. We were unable to recover any of the songs. I have all the songs on my ipod though. So I downloaded Itunes onto this new computer, and now I am trying to add my recently downloaded songs to the ipod, and it keeps telling me that I need to erase the library and replace it with the new library. I don't want to lose all the songs I have now! What can I do? Is there any way to put all the songs from my ipod into Itunes just by using the ipod??
Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -
after dropping my ipod, i keep getting a message from itunes saying Unable to update ipod, get the latest software - I have done that, to no avail.
The ipod is recognized by the computer, it turns on fine, shows the calendar etc - but has NO songs anymore. It's totally blank under Music.
I haven't tried erasing it with Disk Utility yet.
Is there anything else to try?
Thanks.I hate to do this, but since i have no idea how to start a post, I'm just trailing with an unrelated one (about the alarm.)
I tried hooking up my Ipod to speakers so I could make it do an alarm in the morning. I had no trouble getting a playlist to be the "sound", and I did turn the alarm ON, and I did get the time right.
I tried the alarm with the ipod first on, then off, then plugged in to a charger, then not, and for some reason the sound never seems to play. When I select "Beep" it makes that single soft beep that goes not through the speakers but the ipod itself. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, because I know the playlist works - I've played music from it (and on these speakers.) Any ideas?
Thanks -
Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer.

Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?
I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC. The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library. How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have had to restore my PC to factory settings and didnt back up all of my photos but they are in seperate albums on my iphone 4 how can i get them back onto my pc many thaks johnmall
You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans -
