IPod Will not Transfer all Songs to iTunes

The iPod would only transfer some songs to iTunes when I pressed the tranfer purchases button. I lost alot of songs that I can't get back. This is very frustrating!!! Any help?

so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library? since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct? So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer." Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct? while having the others on there that wont transfer?

Ipod does not transfer all songs from itunes

I have the 80g ipod classic. I have 16,000 songs on itunes. when i go to setting on ipod and go to about it shows that i am missing 13 songs. for a while i was missing 5 songs then 9 songs and now 13.yes i still have room on my ipod for music. I do not have a clue what songs are not being transferred to my ipod. what is causing this and what is the solution.

yea i guess that could be possable. i guess with 16,000 songs and only 13 did not transfer to ipod i should be happy but this is mac not windows so i would like to think the soft ware would work without flaws.. as for all my dupes i put over 1500 cds in my itunes library. a lot of the cds were various artists etc. that is y i have so many dupes. my imac has a 500g hard drive so i have plenty of space left on my hard drive. i have 2 external hard drives where my music is backed up.i have a 1terrabit lacie that i just use for time machine and a 500g lacie to back up my music and other stuff. iwould never trust my music to be backed up on only 1 external hard drive. if it died my music would be gone forever. thats y i use 2 external hard drives

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer. My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more. I want my library back on Itunes. ANy help?

My Ipod will not transfer songs. my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it. When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs. I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod. Any help?

My iPod will not Transfer my songs!

I recently replaced my old iPod with a 20 gig color and it won't transfer any songs! I plug it in and it will not do anything! It just turns it on! Someone! HELP! I'm dieing without my music!

Just to make sure I'm attacking the right problem here, let me quickly reiterate what I think is the situation. Please tell me if I'm misunderstanding:
1) Your iPod is on Automatic sync mode (either playlist or all files in library, and either checked or all files transfer).
2) You have at least one file that you see in iTunes (in the playlist if you're using it) and checked that you don't see when trying to use the iPod.
3) If you look at the iPod in iTunes, said song shows up.
Is this all correct? Are ratings and playcounts updating correctly? Assuming you're only syncing checked files, what if you uncheck it and sync? Does it vanish from the iPod as seen by iTunes? What if you then re-check it and sync again? Does it re-appear? Does it show up on the iPod menus then?
If you've done any of these steps, feel free to just give me the answers...I just don't remember seeing.
What it's beginning to sound like to me is that transferring the files to the iPod is working fine, but the iPod's database may be corrupted, in which case, you'd need to restore, which I know you're hesitant to do.

IPod will not transfer all music

I have a fifth generation iPod video. When I sync it with my iTunes library, not all of the songs transfer. I have the latest version of iTunes and the latest version of iPod software. What can I do to make all of my songs transfer?

Some possibilities are documented in this article.

Ipod does not import all songs in itunes

Does anyone know why when I plug in my ipod it will import a few of the songs then a message pops up that says attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to, please help!!!

Another thing to be aware of is what format your files are in. If you have an Ipod Photo like mine it won't play .mp4 file format so when I first got my ipod it would only load the first 70 some songs, those songs were already .m4a, then it would give the same error message you discribed. I thought my ipod was hosed until I finally went through with a program I got of the internet that was a file extention converter tool and renamed all my files from .mp4 to .m4a then everything worked fine.

Ipod will not sync all music to itunes

I have just over 200 songs purchased from itunes using using Windows XP. New computer is Vista and when I try to sync from my ipod to itunes I get a message that tells me the last 100 songs cannot be transferred because computer is not authorized. Have re-authorized compter twice with no avail. How do I avoid losing $100 worth of music and build up my library on the new computer?
Thanks

Hello over_thetop,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Were these tracks purchased under a different account? Have you tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing to see if that helps.
Otherwise, see if this Apple support document can help.

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.

My ipod will not put all music by the same artist together

my ipod will not put all music by the same artist together...suggestions, please? I have already checked spelling on all and checked to make certain they are all listed under the same genre of music

Do the un-syncing ones play in iTunes?
Try directly redownloading them on the iPod
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message

Hello!
My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
" One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
Anyone??

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another USB port and computer
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Try this... launch iTunes on your computer. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Then try transferring iTunes purchases (only) from the iPod.

Will Not Load All Songs On iPod

My iPod shuffle will not load all the songs. I have tried to reset and do everything I possably could.
HELP ME PLEASE!!

Well I found my own answer, apparently the sync all music and playlists, was changed to selected music and playlists. When reading the Manual on use of On-the-Go, it became apparent what had happened. Still wish the podcasts were in date order instead of reverse date order.
