I cannot transfer music to a new Ipod I receive

I cannot transfer music from my itunes to my ipod

If you want to use automatic syncing, which is the best way to load content on an iPod, here's how to do it.
Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Next to Summary, find and click on the Music.  This screen is the Music tab where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music.  If your entire music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then...
Below that, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, your selection syncs to the iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod, when you connect it (or click the Sync button).
Here's one easy way to set it up.  In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  From your main iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with the songs you want on the iPod.  On the iPod's Music tab, select ONLY that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists).  When you click Apply, those songs sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that iPod Songs playlist (add and/or remove songs) in iTunes and connect your iPod.
To load other types of content, such as podcasts and audiobooks, set up the other "tabs."

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • Cannot transfer music to 7th generation Ipod

    So I got the latest Itunes version 11 and I've got a Ipod nano 7th generation. On Itunes they recognize my device but I cannot transfer any songs to my ipod and I cannot play the songs I have on the ipod on iTunes. Can someone help me out?
    I've read the forums here and I have tried the view show sidebar option and it does show my Ipod but I cannot drag any songs to it on my macbook pro.
    I've put music on it before from my pc but now I want to transfer music from my mac to my Ipod

    Ok to play the songs on your ipod through itunes I select the idevice in the left hand window and expand it to show my music . Then double click on a song and it plays.
    If i want to be able to delete songs and search my iDevice I have to enable Manage Music Manually in the options section of the device summary page

  • Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod Shuffle

    Still having difficulty getting my head around how this iTunes stuff works.  I logged into iTunes and redeemed a $15 gift card by entering the code on the back.  I saw the $15 balance added to my account.  I proceeded to buy two songs, but now cannot get them onto the iPod Shuffle device.  I'm using a new Windows 8 PC and the iPod does not appear as a device within in iTunes.  So I remove the Shuffle from the USB port and take it to the older Windows 7 PC, plug it in, and now it shows up in iTunes on that machine.  However, when the two new songs I purchased don't show up in the Library there so when I try to Sync with the Shuffle, no new songs come over.
    On the Windows 8 PC, I see the two new songs along with three earlier purchased songs in the Library.  However, only the three earlier songs display the "Download from iCloud" icon next to them.  I'm guessing this means that the two new purchased songs only reside locally on the Windows 8 PC (where the purchase was initiated) and therefore cannot yet be seen from the Windows 7 PC.  If this is the case, how do I get the two new songs into iCloud so that I can transfer them to the Shuffle from the Windows 7 PC?  Or better yet, is there a way to get iTunes to see the Shuffle through Windows 8 so I can just transfer it from there?
    This is all far too confusing than it needs to be.  For a company that touts its "It Just Works" slogan, this experience is extremely disappointing.

    After some period of time, I eventually was able to see the newly purchased songs in the Library from the Windows 7 PC (not sure if there is typically such a delay).  I then finally figured out that I needed to click the "Download from iCloud" icons to manually initiate the download of the two new songs to the iTunes repository on that PC.  At this point, I found that re-running Sync finally completed the transfer of the songs to the iPod Shuffle.
    Still curious about why the device isn't detected on the Windows 8 PC, though.  But apparently it's a common issue as I get a lot of hits on this when I Google it.

  • Cannot delete music from my new iPod nano

    I have just bought an iPod nano 4GB and when I first got it I copied over almost a full 4GB of music to it. I have now ripped a lot of my cds in itunes and have about 20GB of music so I cannot copy the entire library, therefore I would like to copy everything over manually. I have set this option in the iPod preferences but it doesnt seem to do much. I cannot delete any of the music from the iPod. In iTunes, I go to my iPod and select a tune and press delete, then it prompts me about deleting it from the list. I press Yes and it says "do not disconnect" but then when I go to the iPod, the tune is still there. I even tried deleting all of the tunes at once but nothing.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Allan

    I have managed to solve the problem. It appears that the file structure on the iPod had been corrupted so I used the iPod utility to erase the disk and install factory settings again. All seems to work fine now...

    Hi: I got my ipod in 2011 and synced it to my old computer. The music that Is on it is from imported cd, so I cannot transfer purchases to my new computer. I also want to keep the settings, favourites, folders, and information that is on my ipod. How do i sync it to new computer? Please Help.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

    I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Ipod, i can see my Ipod, and I tried to drag and drop but it wont work

    Make sure the "Sync Music Tab" is checked.  If it isn't, when you check it, it will prompt you that you can only sync to one iTunes library at a time.  The iPod will have to be erased to sync with the new library.

    You need to transfer the music from your old iPod to your iTunes library first before it can be synced to the new one.

    You can't without putting it on iTunes first, which is done by using the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu.

    if you bought from Apple see this
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes.  Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

  • ? after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc, cannot transfer music files to iphone 4s

    after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc windows 7, i cannot transfer music from pc to iphone 4s

    When I try to "drag and drop" a song, it just does not allow me to do it (circle with line thru it). I should also mention that I just changed PC's as well.  I tsnsferred all of the music files from the hdd of the old to the new. After reading some of the other posts, I think this might have more to do with the problem than the switch to itunes 10.6.3?

  • How do I transfer music off of my ipod 30gb into my library?

    How do I transfer music off of my ipod 30gb into my library?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection (Yamipod has already been mentioned above), you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
