IPod not copying all songs back to pc

I've been trying to copy all my songs back from my ipod onto a new pc that I just got because my old one was stolen. I've tried using Yamipod and Copypod and both work to a certain extent. I have about 5200 songs and each program only copies about 3000 songs over, then gives me an error and says it can't copy the rest. At first I thought it was the program, but after trying out two different ones, I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix this. Anybody have any ideas at all? I'm desperate! Thank you!

It might of loaded the whole iTunes database but not all songs, so all the other times you sync, iTunes thinks iPod already has the songs maybe.
Try running the latest updater on it and restoring it. Restore wipes the iPod clean and then u use iTUnes to load it back up. the latest iPod updater is version 03-23-2006 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • 5th gen ipod not showing all songs for artists....

    I just updated to 1.1 about a week ago, so i am not sure if this issue was present in 1.0 or not.
    when looking at the artist list on my ipod, i noticed that if I go into a artist and that artist has only one album listed, it goes directly into that album list. Therefore not showing your other songs that you may have by the same artist because dont have the album name. Has anyone else had this issue??

  • 80gb Ipod not importing all songs

    Hi all
    I am having a problem with my 80gb 5th gen ipod
    I have had it since january this year and it has been working fine till yesterday when it froze so i reset it and plugged it into itunes and it lost all the songs of the pod so i synced it up but it only imports up to letter M and doesnt import anymore then that
    I have installed the new version of Itunes 7.3 and made sure i am on the correct software for the ipod 1.2.1 but it still isnt importing
    Is it a problem with the ipod does anyone think or does anyone know how to correct this?

    Hi kel524uk,
    Is your iTunes upgraded to the latest version, 7.3.1? (there are two versions: 7.3 and 7.3.1).
    To download the latest version of iTunes, go to this page:
    Download iTunes - 7.3.1.3
    Also, have you tried fully restoring your iPod in iTunes? For instructions on how to restore an iPod, see this article:

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • I copied all songs to an extern HD. how do i get itunes to find them there?

    hello! i have a big problem. my local HD is full of mp3s. so my system isn't working very well. so i copied all songs to an extern HD. But when i delete the songs from the local HD itunes doesn't find them anymore. so how do i get itunes to take the songs from the extern and no longer from the local HD?
    please help me!

    This article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes how to move your iTunes Library to a different location.
    The best thing to do ... if possible ... would be to go back to your original set-up and then follow those instructions. It's success will depend on whether you still have the original iTunes Library files .
    If that's not possible, you can follow the instructions in the Add to Library section of this KB article . iTunes will recognize the files on your external drive but will not maintain any of your playlists or related information.

  • PLEASE HELP - BACKED UP IPOD BUT CANNOT GET SONGS BACK ON IPOD

    Hi. I have a U2 ipod photo. Recently have had alot of problems with songs dissapearing and i had to reset IPOD everytime. I bought the my ipod in the US 2 years ago with the "Complete U2 set" installed on the ipod. All the songs that came with the special edition ipod.
    The consultant in the store loaded all the songs for me as we can not do it thru Itunes via South Africa with and SA credit card or login. So i read all the online help files and made a backup disc of all my "purchased songs" which is the U2 collection.
    Now i can not get the songs back on my ipod and i cannot play them on my machine. Said im not authorised. Gives me a login request with this email addres "[email protected]".
    Have been trying to contact apple, but i cannot find an address to email to ask for help. If i start my itunes and insert the backup disc it puts on the music in my library, but i cannot move it or change it.
    PLEASE HELP.

    You are out of luck for non-Tunes purchases. The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Can not copy any songs or videos from iTunes to iPhone after reinstall Windows 7

    I am experiencing trouble with my iPhone. I have to reinstalled my Windows 7 OS due to some trouble. When I reinstalled everything include iTunes back, it can not automatically back up my iPhone to iTunes like it used to. Also, I can not copy any songs and/or videos from iTunes to my iPhone. Fortunately, the application can be restored thanks to the new iTunes version.
    Does anyone know how could I restore all my previous services I got before the reinstallation? Help!!
    Many thanks..

    Did you create a backup of your music and videos before you reinstalled windows?

  • IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

    The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

    I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
    Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
    With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

  • ITunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read

    It's about time i posted something about my problem because i've searched everywhere and I did not get the answer i wanted.
    When i try to put a song (Drag and Drop) from my Library to my Iphone, the message "iTunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read" shows up. I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't seen apple answer to a single one of these threads either.
    I've only seen users try to answer this question.
    Anyways, when i put the songs on my Iphone, it is also grayed out. There is also a dotted circle (symbol) beside the checkmark of the song.
    I've tried creating a AAC version of all the songs already. No luck
    Please help

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
    Or...
    Repair Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

    my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
    can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

    I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
    I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
    I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
    If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
    Hope you get it solved mate!

  • "Shuffle" does not play all songs

    I have the original iphone that I have had very good luck with. Lately, I've noticed that when using the shuffle feature of the ipod, it only plays some of my songs - for instance, I have 344 songs, but only 316 are playing in shuffle mode. When I take it out of shuffle mode, the little number changes to the actual number of songs I have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? The songs being left out are the songs most recently downloaded.

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
    - 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
    - 256 have been played less than 3 times
    - 129 have been played less than 7 times.
    - Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
    The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
    If you find a solution, please let me know
