I can't put songs in my ipod

i can't put songs in my ipod
the song are already mp3

Are you getting any error messages? How is your iPod set to update? If you are trying to drag songs to it make sure it's in manual update mode and not set automatically update.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod Touch!

    whenever i go onto iTunes and try to put songs onto my iPod using the click and drag method i get this message - 'the iPod "George's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to'. What can i do? Please, anyone, even a guess will do...
    By the way i have the latest version of iTunes and the latest system thing on my Touch.

    I have seen this article listed on many requests for help. I have tried these fixes but the iTouch will get about 200 songs into the sync and then will give the same message. I have successfully synced the iTouch to my laptop (Vista system)but that is not the primary computer for the touch. Are there any other ideas/solutions?

  • How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

    I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
    If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
    Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

  • I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod

    Hey, I have 697 songs currently on my library, when I connect my iPod to the computer it says it's retrieving less songs than that, say 200 for example, which it doesn't do anyway. It just sits there not putting any songs onto my iPod and then comes up with a message that it doesn't work. Please someone help this is getting very annoying!

    How about the problems in iTunes 5? Are they better now?
    hello Mr Bond!
    apologies for the late reply ... during the early weeks of the 5.0x launches, my email went down and i wasn't getting any notification of replies to my posts. at that stage, i was pretty much trapped in "Installations & Upgrades" so i couldn't get out to my other favorite forums to check for replies to any of my posts ... i'm currently working through a backlog of 500 unanswered email notifications, saw your post, and decided to take the opportunity to have a chat.
    update from our last communications. traffic levels are certainly down in Installations and Upgrades. our primary concerns over there at the moment are probably the nastier versions of the QuickTime 1402, and the newer variations on "the software required for communicating ..." and "Ipod Service Error". I'm taking this (in a perverse way) as a good sign. these were rarer sorts of errors at the height of the madness. so when the discussions are being dominated by the rarer sorts of errors, it suggests we've got a good handle on the other 5.0.x installation problems.
    the "general mood" of the forum is still a little more bitter than in the 4.9 days. but it has improved considerably over the past couple of weeks. (however, giving helpful and descriptive titles to posts and threads still seems to be a lost art over there ... i'm not entirely sure why.)
    i am hoping that i shall
    b not
    exceed your tally of posts any time soon. i actually find it a little disturbing that i have passed both Buegie and StarDeb recently. back in my early days of posting, i used to wonder "how on earth does anyone accumulate 4000 posts?" ...
    love, b

  • I can't put songs on my iPod mini

    When i plug my iPod mini into the computer an error bubble pops up in the bottom right corner of my screen saying that the destination of the file is invalid. I have tried everything and have tried putting the songs on my iPod multiple times and i'm not getting anywhere. The songs i have bought from the music store have not been used 5 times yet and there are 397 mbs left on my ipod, so it is not a memory problem. Please help!

    You are following the steps as listed here?

  • I can't put songs on my iPod Nano.

    I get these messages:
    http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/423/ipoduo0.jpg
    And a frequent, "The required folder can not be found." (or something along the lines of that)
    Help!

    First, backup your library.
    Then, that sounds like a problem that StarDeb55 pointed out to me, documented at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300554
    ...where you would basically use the Restore function of the updater to wipe the iPod clean and restore it to out-of-the-box settings.
    There was also a pretty good general troubleshooting doc here...http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 Cheers!

  • How can I put songs on my ipod into my itunhes library?

    Help... I got a message saying "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I got that when I tried to open itunes after i installed a burning software. I am going to have to reinstall itunes, but I don't want to loose all my album art and play count and playlists. How can I save all this??

    Don't Worry, as long as your music is consolidated in your library, then your information (ie alb. art lyrics blah) will be saved! Just don't delete your music in your iTunes folder!

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

  • I can't add songs to my ipod mini

    i am no longer able to add songs to my ipod mini. when i connect the mini to my laptop (ibook) a message pops up which says that there is not enough room on the ipod for the files and would i like the computer to randomly select music to be added to the ipod. i have checked the manual selection for my ipod and i still can't put music on the ipod but when i went to the apple store they said that it was working fine and they reset it as well so i shouldnt have a problem but i still do plz help.

    "a message pops up which says that there is not enough room on the ipod for the files and would i like the computer to randomly select music to be added to the ipod"
    Unless I'm missing something really obvious here, you can't put any more music on it because the iPod is full.
    "i have checked the manual selection for my ipod and i still can't put music on the ipod"
    Manual or automatic, if the iPod is full you can't put any more music on it without deleting songs from the iPod to create some space.

  • Putting songs on an iPod Shuffle 4 from a different computer?

    We purchased an iPod Shuffle Gen 4 for our dad for Christmas. I used my iTunes account and Macbook to put songs onto the iPod, then mailed it to Dad. Now we want to add songs to the shuffle from my sister's iTunes account and Macbook because she lives near Dad, while I'm in another state. How can we do this and keep the original songs on the iPod? We are fine with having to switch over the control of this iPod to my sister's iTunes account and Macbook since she will be doing all the updates. Thank you!

    hey, how do you do that? using one library for 2 ipods. When you do that, usually the ipod will earse the music it had before in order to upload the music from itunes. can you email me how you do it at [email protected] ? Thanks.

  • Putting songs onto my iPod, but when I go to play them, they aren't there.

    Recently I've been having problems putting songs onto my iPod Touch. I'll put the songs onto my iPod through iTunes, and it shows that they are on my iPod and everything is legit, but when I leave and go to play them on my iPod, the songs aren't there and nowhere to be found. When I plug my iPod back into iTunes and view all of my music, it shows that the songs are on my iPod, however, when I double-click them, and exclamation mark pops up beside the name and they don't play. This doesn't happen with every song I put on, just select ones, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.
