IPod won't display songs in MyMusic folder; can't copy songs to iPOd

I formatted my HD. I copied the library of the iPod back onto the computer into MyMusic. However my iPod won't display any of the songs that I recopied onto the computer. I was forced to reformat the iPod. My song library is in MyMusic the whole time but the iPod won't display any of it. How can I get my iPod to display the songs in MyMusic? I can't copy the songs onto the iPod as the songs are already in MyMusic.

Yes. I can see it there and play it as well...I just can't get it to transfer to my ipod from the itunes library. And it only happened with a few songs and I don't know what I did to make it so that it only trasferred to my library and not my ipod. But it is playable and viewable in my library and only when it is connected. Otherwise only the songs that are already on my ipod are viewable.
Does that make sense?
Let me know if it doesn't
Thanks so much

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

'itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist 'leo tolstoy- etc' can be copied to this ipod' .

When trying to copy an audio book that I have purchased in itunes (which I have done for years) a messge has suddenly started coming up saying 'Itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist name of book' can be copied to this ipod' ' It worked a couple of weeks ago when I copied half of a book and it has worked for the past few years, but suddenly now none of my ipods will work with audio book yet they will with songs in my playlists. Infact it seems as though my audio books have gone yet they are there in print ...aghhh this is so frustrating.. please can anyone help. thank you

Was there an answer??!!! I have the same issue and its driving me nuts to the point I want to leave apple forever! Itunes *****!!

How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
Thank you!

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing? I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library. The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

You can do this in 2 ways.
1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to. To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share. Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button. To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

There are many, many sites that will buy your used device. Also, some brick/mortars will take them in and give you credit you can use towarrds an iPad. Try BestBuy, Target, Toy'sRUs...and see if any programs in effect now fit your needs.

I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that. Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Patrick

My ipod had this exact same problem.

Is there a triangle next to your iPod in the iTunes source list? You should click is so that the triangle points down. Your library and playlists should then be able to be selected.

IPod won't display imported photos

I use iPod Photo mainly to upload photos from my digital camera in the field. It has always displayed a thumbnail of the pic in the little dotted box as they are imported, and afterwards they can be viewed and checked by selecting the Roll, then Browse. Suddenly, nothing can be seen, and at Browse, the blank images display a message that "This file cannot be viewed on iPod". I have installed the latest updates and restored iPod to the factory settings (which involved wiping out music and contacts) but still nothing. The pic files are there in the DCIM folder, and upload and display perfectly on the computer, but it's a huge disadvantage if they can't be checked on screen in the field. Is it possible that some of this year's updates have cancelled the ability to view the photos? If not, what's the cause of the problem?
Powermac G4 2x800/ iBook G3 700 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't know, but I have the same problem. In ITunes Preferences, I have some IPhoto albums selected to import onto my IPod. Most of them do, but I get an error message:
Some of your photos, including the photo "billy & Neal cuddling.jpg" were not copied to the iPod "Kevin Kraft's iPod 917-312-7594" because they cannot be displayd on your iPod
Why do some pictures not display? If you find out, please let me know.
The irony is that the album that contains that image was at one time set in Itunes Preferences to show on my IPod, but it has been deselected for some time. So why would I cotinue get the error message?
