Ipod playing songs that have video

Hi i just purchased jack johnson's album a weekend at the greek..........for some reason because of my computer literacy i cant place just the songs on my ipod nano.......if anyone can help me with this that would be awesome.....thanks

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
So you bought an album. Is it a CD or did you buy it from the iTunes Music Store?
If it's a CD you need to load it in to iTunes first before you can sync it to your nano.
If you bought it from iTMS then it's already in iTunes?
If you can fill in your profile to list your operating system as well it will help us give you better advice.
Post back and we'll take it from there.
Regards,
Colin R.

Can't play songs that have a "old" account name?

i have a number of songs that have different account names.... some have my user name and then some have my user name plus "@.mac.com" at the end of the name... the ones without the @mac.com will not play? any ideas?

I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Meanwhile, this may help:

I have an iPhone 5c and want to play songs that are stored on my PC iTunes library, but were not bought through iTunes. How do I do this?

Hi there eramhar,
It sounds like you are wanting to sync your music to your iPhone. If so, you may find the information in the article below helpful.

TS4124 I have a problem that when I sync my ipod with I tunes it only syncs the songs that have been downloaded from the cloud.

I have 9000 songs in the cloud and have not downloaded all of them
My ipod does not sync the songs that have not been downloaded.
Do i have to download all the playlists individually?

Here's how iTunes works. You add a file to iTunes. iTunes makes a note of where that file is located, gets information from it about artist, etc, and writes the information to its library file. iTunes doesn't look at that file again until you play it. It knows where to find it when it needs it. However, sometimes things happen so the file is no longer where iTunes expects it to be. In many cases this is because the user has renamed a file or folder in the file's pathway, or moved the file. In extreme cases it can happen because a hard drive is dying.
When iTunes invites you to find the file, it is asking you to do exactly that. If you renamed the file you need to remember what you called it and where you put it and point to it to rebuild the link. Sometimes if people move all their files to different drive you need to point to one and iTunes may be able to find others given that information and assumptions as to where the others should be located relative to that.
It is also possible files have gone missing. In that case you need to restore them from their original source or a backup you make regularly of your computer knowing that some day it is 100% guaranteed your drive will fail and you will be very happy you have a copy of everything on another drive.

I have a classic iPod with songs that were put on it from a different computer. If I plug it up to my computer, will it keep the songs that were originally on it from the previous computer AND allow me to put new songs on it from my computer?

No. Your iPod is designed to sync with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, the contents currently on the iPod will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. So you'll want to copy what is currently on the iPod over to your new iTunes library first before syncing it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

When I try syncing to my Ipod nano, it will only let me sync songs that have been downloaded onto my computer (not my icloud music). How do I fix this?

This is really annoying. When I try syncing, it shows the four songs that have actually been truly downloaded on my computer, and it wont let me change it. What does I do?

iDevices are not backup devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Hey there Chriskir,
It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:

Getting rid of songs that have an "!"

I changed the location of my ITunes folder and once I did that it found a number of songs that could not be located. The new folder location has all the songs I own so I would like to get rid of all the songs that have the "!" next to them in a fast and efficient way. I can not sort by just the column that has the "!" otherwise it would be easy to remove them all at once. I could have sworn I have done this before. If anyone has a good way of removing songs that can not be found please let me know. Thanks.

Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences. But you only need to change a setting in one location.

My computer is already authorized. However, iTunes will not allow me to play songs that I've already purchased

My computer is already authorized. However, iTunes will not allow me to play songs that i have already purchased.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if only a small number of songs are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

I downloaded music to my iphone and when I went to go sync it up to itunes, I lost all of the songs purchased from that time until the previous time I backed it up. How do I recover these purchased songs that have been lost?

All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.
Select it to sync and sync.

Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's

Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's, I'm a DJ and the purpose of getting the Icloud was not only for backup but to have access to all my music and this 25,000 song limit is not acceptable for me. I also upgraded my icloud drive to 200gb in hope that this would help, did it? I dont know as of yet, I just did it any thoughts out there??
