Imported CD Songs Only Appear In iTunes, Not On iPod Nano

Hi,
I bought my first iPod Nano, downloaded the iTunes software, and tried to import 2 songs from a cd. I have 2 issues which I need help with:
1. These 2 songs imported perfectly into iTunes, just as the manual described. But these 2 songs don't appear in my iPod. Please offer help with how to import these 2 songs into my iPod instead of just having them appear on iTunes.
2. Many additional songs (about 30?) somehow appeared on iTunes and were supposedly imported into my iPod. I unchecked each song and now these songs are off of iTunes. Why did these songs appear on iTunes in the first place? None of these 30+ songs are on the cd from which I unsuccessfully tried to import the 2 songs mentioned in question 1.
Thanks for any help which anyone can provide!

Was your iPod connected to the computer already before you tried to import the two songs? If so thats why the songs didn't show up because the songs will only appear onto the iPod if you connect it to the computer after adding the songs. Plus the 30 songs that you said that showed up that weren't on the cd are most likely songs that you have saved on your computer with windows media player.

  • My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

    My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP.   Thanks

    Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
    Hope this helps!

  • Help!  Itunes not recognizing Ipod Nano.  Have tried several things already.

    Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano (6th generation).  When I plug it in to the computer, nothing happens (except it charges).  I have tried several of the recommendations (reinstalling itunes, resetting ipod, etc. etc.)  I have Windows 7 on my computer with the latest version of Itunes.  Interestingly, when I plug my Ipod into my other computer (which still has an older version of Itunes), it syncs right up and is recognized.
    What can I do to get Itunes to simply recognize my Ipod?  I am beyond frustrated.

  • A little different - Computer & Itunes not seeing IPOD Nano

    I will try to make this as brief as possible... This is very frustrating.
    Just got a nano - Am trying to install on my computer... Have installed a mini & a shuffle already with no problem.
    The Nano is not being seen as an ipod. It is showing as an "Apple Ipod USB Device" and I get messages about not being able to update File J whenever I plug my ipod into my computer.
    Neither my computer or my itunes is recognizing it. It worked once... and I was able to use the ipod updater one time to update my nano.. Now, when I try to use the updater to restore, it just tells me to plug my ipod in. It is already plugged in??!!!
    I have tried apples recommended 5 steps, reset, used a different USB, restarted & updated the programs, uninstalled & reinstalled itunes & ipod (big pain), the only step I can't do is Restore.
    I have 2 questions...
    Is there a way to restore my ipod without the updater, or is there some other way for me to get my computer to recognize the new ipod. Still, if I plug in my mini, the computer & Itunes picks it right up, just not the nano...
    What am I doing wrong. I don't have a laptop & I don't have "firewire"... and i have tried turning off all my antivirus stuff..>???
    I am so frustrated, any help is welcome!!!

    Thank you, and all the others, for supplying information on work arounds that may help all of us Nano owners to fix this significant problem. However, after spending more hours than I would like dealing with this issue, I would like to raise a couple of points. Hopefully, Apple will respond.
    1) An owner should not be forced to reformat his iPod's hard drive when carefully following Apple's procedure for making software updates. Testing of the updater program to see if it worked correctly on the popular Nano series should have revealed that it would erase all the iPod's content and cause the device to become unusable?
    2) What course should Nano owners follow in the future regarding iPod upgrades? Should we just ignore upgrade notifications or attempt the installation of the new software hoping that this time we will not be forced to re-initialize our iPods and reload our content?
    This issue needs to be addressed. The iPod has been designed and marketed to be a very user friendly consumer product. This is one of the primary reasons it has become so successful. Updating it should not cause it to be turned into a complex device requiring the advice of computer technicians.
    Thanks for reading these thoughts.

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found."  CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

    Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
    "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found." 
    CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

    I have the same problem.  I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'.  I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in.  I have seen no fix for this problem.

  • I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

    Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
    "AirPort Express" isn't an option.
    Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

  • After syncing my music to iPhone my music only appears in iTunes as purchased rather than my music

    After syncing my music to iPhone my music only appears in iTunes as purchased rather than my music

    In my iTunes I have my music organized into playlists. Before when I synced my iPod to iTunes it exactly duplicated the music / playlists exactly as they appear in my iTunes. Now I have more music than my iPod can hold at once, so I've unchecked some songs within various playlists. The problem is that after I sync my iPod, it has all the checked songs, but they're no longer organized in the playlists. Can something be done to fix this?
    Delete some of your songs off of the iPod Nano to make more room.

  • It only appeared "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Pls try again later"

    I can't change the country. It only appeared "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Pls try again later".

    You can change the country to browse but for purchasing your debit or credit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    It means your phone is in recovery mode and you will need to restore it:

  • I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    Yes, you can!(:
    STEP 1: Open iTunes
    STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
    STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
    STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
    NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
    NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
    NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
    Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

  • MacBook/iTunes not 'seeing' iPod

    I haven't updated my iPod for a while, certainly not since the last couple of iTunes updates. However, today I opened iTunes, connected my iPod nano and it is not being seen by my MacBook.
    I've tried closing and reopening iTunes whilst keeping the iPod connected and I rebooted the MacBook with the iPod connected. It still doesn't see it.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Thanks for responding.
    I've solved the problem by simply resetting my iPod.

  • ITunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other.

    iTunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other. Is the port faulty? Windows 7 PC

    Could just be a loose connection or that the cable itself is going bad.  There are a number of factors that could play into this scenario.
