I can't transfer music to my iPod!

So after upgrading iTunes I kept getting a weird error message. One support page at the Apple website suggeted a series of steps that didn't work, and the final step of creating a new Admin account, and syncing my iPod with an empty music library. I did that, and now I can sync my podcasts no problem, but I can't transfer music to my ipod at all. It won't work if I try to sync the music library (it asks if I want to sync with this library as opposed to the dummy one, and I say I do), and I can't transfer manually - I get a "forbidden" mouse pointer. Any ideas?

Ensure that "sync music" in music upper selection is ticked before you sync. Cheers!

    Can I transfer music from my ipod back to my mac

    If you bought music, videos, etc. using the store on your iPod, iTunes will offer to sync your purchases back to your Mac the next time you sync. There's info about that here.
    If your iPod was synced to another computer previously, and that's how your current music got on your iPod, I think you need to use non-Apple utility software to transfer the content off of your iPod. I don't think we're supposed to talk about those here because the official transfer method as far as Apple is concerned is iTunes. And with iTunes, music is supposed to go in one direction, from the Mac to the iPod, unless you bought it on the iPod. This is to prevent people from using iPods to copy music to everybody else's computer.

    Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

    CD's you can give to them to rip to their own iTunes.  If you do that, legally you are supposed to delete any copies you may have in your posession as you no longer own the content.
    For iTunes purchases, they are permanently tied to the account they were purchased with. 
    You can always gift the content via iTunes to your friend, purchase and give them CD's, or let them buy their own copies.

    Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

  • Can I transfer music from one Ipod touch to a newer generation Ipod touch?

    Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

    - No directly.  You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
    - You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod.  You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
    - You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:

    - The follow discussion discusses third-party programs to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
