I cannot get music from my library to my ipod classic. It syncs but not transferring music

I bought a new laptop and authorized my new computer to share my laptop. I have a bunch of music in mu library that is not transferring to my ipod classic. The ipod will sync but not everything is transferring. So frustrating. I am trying to copy and paste, not working. I am selecting song and select "add to Phone" and that is not working. How can I move these items

Or how do I change the 5 devices. Some are not used anymore

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
Help Please!

The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

How do I get Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic?

Hi All...
I'm attempting to do something I've never done before which is transfer Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic (160GB). I tried for a couple of hours last night but I could find out how to download the Podcasts and then tranfer them to the iPod. The Podcasts I'm downloading come in at about 112 podcasts - They're are many but they are each rather small. I can't figure out how to make this work. I'd like to just download and transfer selected podcasts as for some reason when I try to find the podcasts I need others show up in the list too.
Thanks in advance!

This might work.

Have new computer- cannot move song from itunes library to the ipod

How do I move songs from the itunes library to the ipod? Have tried dragging & dropping it will not
work. Song is downloaded onto itunes library, but will not go onto ipod

So how exactly are you wanting to or trying to add content to your iPod? Manually or via automatic syncing? Do you have content stored in your iTunes library that you can play? Any error messages when you try to add or sync content to it?
What didn't work? Need A LOT more detail here in order to assist you.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Unable to sync playlists from iTunes to touch iPod, the songs sync but not the playlists

I use to be able to just plug my iPod into my computer and have it automatically update. The songs are updating from the iTunes to the iPod but the playlists are not for some reason. Someone by accident ended up deleting a playlist off my iPod, and I didnt worry as I thought when I plugged it back into my computer to iTunes it would automatically sync the playlists again, but it didnt. Any help as to what I do from here? Do I wipe everything off the iPod and start again? Thanks

Thanks, good to know that restoring it will not be my best use of time. I hope we dont have to live with it as its easier to manage playlists and make new ones from the iTunes end vs the iPod end. Thanks for your reply.

Cannot get apps from itunes library

apps will not load and after many minutes my ipod shuts down

Thanks Dave. I'm getting increasingly frustrated because twice I got some way with a sync of apps and then got error messages. One was that the iPad had 'disconnected', which I just don't follow. And despite at least 20 or so apps apparently getting synced (i.e. seen in the 'progress bar at the top'), oly a couple are now displayed:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/iTunesErrors-03.jpg
I closed the error message and tried the Sync button again, and that apparently started a backup. That's been going for 15 mins or so, and I'm a bit worried because the connected iPad was displaying a message 'Not charging'. So if the backup continues for hours it may well exhaust the battery.
Reckon I'll sleep on it and get back on the case in the morning, including trying your suggestion.

TS2621 Cannot send emails from my iPad hotmail account. I can receive but not send. I get message"unable to send email"

This just started out of the blue today. I get a message saying email cannot be sent.

I have done everything in the link TechMastr suggested. I can not send a hotmail message from any of my I-devices. I thought it might be just my accounts, but tried my husband's device as well. This includes things not connected to wi-fi and on 3G. Could it be hotmail? It is so frustrating.

How do I get songs from my library to my ipod?

Ok, so I was on itunes and I put a cd in the computer to import it on my computer. But I do not know how to then get the songs on my ipod.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
On the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add iTunes to iTunes and follow the instructions
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

My ipods syncing but not transfering music off my computer to my ipod?

Right iv recently got a new cpmputer! Iv signed in on this itunes but everytime it syncs it wont put my neew music onto my ipod, iv tried to do it loads! do i restore it or is there any other help you can give me? Ohh and theres a space in my captivity that says 'other' and its yellow! dunno how to get rid of it! HELP ME PLEASE!

- You can only sync an iPod with one iTunes library. Your new computer is a different iTunes library.
- Assuming that all yur media (apps, music etc) are in the iTunes library of the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.

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.

Dell? Windows XP ?????

James, you are going to have to be a lot more specific as to what's going on when you try to sync your music to your iPod before anyone has a clue on how to start to help you. Please include what kind of iPod you have, what version of iTunes you're using, any error messages or error codes that are happening. The more information you post, the better chance you have of getting some help.
