I cannot transfer songs to ipod Classic

I used to do drag and drop to ipod transferring songs, I cannot do it anymore on my new ipod classic. I can use the sync function but after the songs are transferred to my ipod, they are grey out, I cannot even click on them. I can play the songs on ipod alone, any idea? weird? Alex

never mind, got it.
I have to set 'manual'

  • Trying to transfer songs from ipod classic to new ipod touch.  Itunes wont allow device library to load into itunes library?

    My daughter received an ipod classic and loade4d some songs onto it from another itunes acct/computer.  She also now has a new ipod touch and wants to transfer the songs, but I can't get it to share or add to iyunes librabry?

    You need a 3rd party software to copy the iPod data to your PC, iTunes, then sync iTunes to the Touch.

  • Transfer song from IPOD classic to laptop

    My daughter copied a CD to our home computer (Windows). She then loaded the songs onto her IPOD Classic. From there she tried to load them from her IPOD to her personal laptop (Vista). When she highlights the songs and drags them to her library there is a symbol of a black circle with a black line indicating that the operation can not be done. I have looked everywhere on how to fix and this is my last resort.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    you need to enable the ipod for disk use (through itunes) and then drag the actual audio files to the ipod itself (in disks with removable storage in computer). then unplug it from the the home computer and plug it into the laptop. go to disks with removable storage and go to your ipod and put the songs onto the computer and then into itunes. i know that this seems slow and messy but itunes doesnt let you just put songs onto a computer from an ipod so unless you have a network, using the ipod like a usb stick is probably the easiest way to do it

  • Moved from PC to Mac cannot transfer songs to ipod

    I have a 20GB Click Wheel ipod which I have been using on a PC with XP. I have now moved to a Mac G4. I have downloaded itunes 7 and loaded my songs via back up discs on the Mac and sorted my playlists. When I try to synch my ipod no playlists or songs transfer although itunes does find my ipod. My ipod is formatted for Windows but apparently that should not make difference.
    On reading I have seen that anything bigger than 4GB's won't transfer. I have 1,503 tunes in various playlists totalling 6.03GB. If I compress my library as suggested it will not only take forever but I will then have 2 copies of each track plus I am not sure if it will compress it enough to synch.
    I have tried restoreing my ipod to factory settings but get a message saying: 'cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application'.
    Short of buying an new ipod which I cannot afford has anyone any ideas how I can synce my ipod?

    Hope the following helps, otherwise, it can be a bad hard drive
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • Cannot delete songs from iPod Classic - grayed out in playlist

    I'm ready to throw this thing out the window. I already had a shuffle, my daughter had a Nano and got a Classic for Christmas. iTunes seems to have no idea how to keep all this straight. When I plugged her new Classic in, it uploaded all of our songs, and (strangely), she doesn't want my songs. I just want to delete them from her Classic, but the songlist of what she has is all gray. I'm afraid to plug any other devices in because who knows what the **** it'll mess up. If only I could figure out how to contact Support.....

    Create a new playlist.
    Have her put all the music she wants in that playlist.
    Plug in the ipod.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Tick Selected playlists.
    Tick the playlist with her music, then click Apply.
    When she wants to add or delete stuff from her iPod, add/remove it from that playlist, then plug in the iPod.

  • CANNOT TRANSFER SONGS TO IPOD

    I purchased some tracks off the iTunes store, and while they appear and play perfectly well in my iTunes library, I can’t actually transfer them to my iPod. Or rather, I can move them there, but they won't play.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I have the SAME problem. "Updates successful" message followed by missing songs on the iPod and next update attempting to transfer these songs all over again. Tried everything, including "strange iPod behavior" suggestions to no avail. This has started since the January installation of the new iPod Updater.
    Please help.....

  • Cannot transfer songs to iPod from iTunes.

    Please help. I can download songs to my iTunes but the iPod will not update when plugged in. It tells me that it has but when I go to my iPod the songs are not there. I have 3 cds that I have recently downloaded that will not upload to my iPod. Everytime I plug my pod into the computer it tells me that it is updating these 3 albums onto the pod but it doesn't. I tried several times and I got the same thing everytime. Looking at my songs on my iPod from my iTunes it shows these albums are there and play from iTunes but when I try searching from the actual iPod they are not. Oh and everything is updated and I have "Automatically update all songs and playlists" button selected in my ipod options!

  • Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

    If you have all of the songs and videos still in your library I would recommend doing the restore of the iPod.

    Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

    I could use Ipod Classic (30g) controls with connection to Highlander (adapter plug into JBL single CD player), but cannot with new 160g Ipod Classic. What gives?

    Charge it up fully. Toggle the hold switch. Try getting into diagnostics mode again. See Corrupt iPod classic.
