Ipod wont copy songs from itunes as it contains more than 5 accounts

i know you can only register 5 computers to use ipod, but i only have 1 registered, ive tried authorizing and deautorising my accounts, my friends have put songs on my ipod when the m ipod crashed for me, and i just created an account here in the u.s. to download u.s. music i also have a uk account which i use to download songs too, how do i get rid of the accounts registered to my ipod so i can just use my 2 that i downloaded , without losing my songs already on my ipod>?

i know you can only register 5 computers to use ipod
This is incorrect.
You can authorize a max of 5 computers to play your iTunes purchases.
how do i get rid of the accounts registered to my ipod
Accounts are not registered to an iPod.
Tp play songs in iTunes, you need to authorize teh computer. To authorize teh computer, play a purchased song. It will tell you that you need to authorize the computer by inputting your username and password.

Ipod wont update songs from itunes after new update

I downloaded the new itunes update 5.0 and now i cant update my ipod. it keeps telling me that there is not enough room on it. so i unchecked about 1000 songs and it keeps on saying the same thing. it also took about 3000 songs off my ipod. the only way it will update is if i let itunes update it with a choice of songs they pick. please help.

Hello All,
I think I came up with a work around by accident and didn't realize it until I read this post.
Did all the same stuff most have done, reset to factory, reapplied the updates, etc, still not enough free space, even though there was plenty before.
Sooo, I went into iPod options, changed from "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". I did this assuming that the amount of space used on my iPod would be cut in half, at least. So I sync'd and when it was done, my iPod was back to the way it originally was, having about 800MB free on a 30GB G3 iPod. Hmmm... so I looked at the pref's again and realized that the "Only update checked songs" was still checked. I have been using this setting for at least the past two years after my audio collection began to exceed my 30GB iPod's capacity. So in the end, it ended up syncing just my playlists PLUS anything that was checked which brought me back to where I started before I made the jump from 4.9 to 6.0.1. The only difference was the switching the setting "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". Very odd. I suspect a lot of users got in trouble on this one.
Please let me know if this fixes the problem for anyone else.
Kindly,
James

How do I add/copy songs from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic and copy playlist from iTunes 11 to my iPod? It was easy to do in earlier versions of iTunes, but now I can not figure out how to do it.

Cant copy songs from itunes to ipod

I have a new computer and installed itunes and music. However when I connect my ipod it shows up but I cannot transfer songs from itunes to it. What is the cause of the problem and possible solution?
Mike

It's because your iPod can only be synced to one computer at a time unless you enable the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's summary tab. However, this method of syncing is much different from having iTunes automatically sync content for you.
So in order to sync your iPod with the new iTunes you'll need to copy the music from your iPod over to your new PC and then erase and sync it. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

Garageband wont import song from iTunes

Hi, I've imported songs from iTunes to Garageband many times by just selecting and dragging the song from iTunes into the GarageBand application window. Not sure why... but now that does not work--GarageBand is not accepting the song when I drag it over. Help! I'm using iTunes 10.6.3 and GarageBand 4.1.2.
Update--just saw posting from HangTime with link to instructions to highlight song in iTunes, select "Show in Finder" from the iTunes File pull-down menu, and then drag the song into the Garageband window from the Finder. It worked. Just wondering (now) why GarageBand is not allowing me to simply drag a song into Garageband directly from iTunes.

Thank you for posting that 'update' Kingpalm. It just solved my (same) problem, today 1st January 2014!

Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from ITunes?

Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from I Tunes?

Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

Buying songs from itunes and emailing them+more

If u buy a song from itunes,can i email it to myself,then open the song on ANOTHER computer in my house?
And when my ipod is connected the the pc,and itunes is open,if there is a firmware update for my ipod,will itunes automatically download it or notify me?

iTunes will tell you there is an update available and give you the option of downloading or waiting for later.
According to iTunes rules you can play your iTunes purchased files on up to 5 machines. All you need to do is authorize the new computer.

Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

Cannot copy songs from itunes to my ipod

For some reason when I try to drag songs from my itunes to my ipod (dock version) nothing happens. I was able to do this just fine only three days ago. Any ideas?

Check your iPod summary page and make sure that "manually manage music" is still selected.
If it is, make sure that the song plays in iTunes.

I can not copy songs from itunes on my iphone 4s.

it works from laptop to iphone. but not from PC to iphone. both under windows. i have activated both computer. any idea?

Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Can I transfer/copy songs from itunes to Windows Movie Maker?

I am designing a slide show for my daughter's wedding. If I buy songs through itunes, can I copy/move them to Windows Movie Maker for the slide show.
I appreciate your input/guidance.

With the iPod connected to your PC and selected on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then you can enable the sidbar via control-S), you should be able to use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

I have 2nd gen iPod nano with songs from iTunes but also burnt from CDs. I now have a new laptop currently without iTunes or any music on. Is there anyway for me to connect the iPod to iTunes on the laptop and not loose all of the songs on it?

Pretty much as it says above. I don't want to loose all my old songs that weren't downloaded and am wondering if there's anyway that I can make sure there safe to connect it to a new laptop with no music on at present.
Any help or advice would be great :-)
Thanks

Thanks for trying, no it did not help. The article describes getting song from apple devices to PC, not the other way around. I will try ringing tech support tomorrow.
Thanks anyway.

Cannot copy songs from itunes to ipod touch, although I've downloaded latest itunes version. Please help..

I've downloaded latest version of itunes but still didn't allow me to drag the songs that I want to my ipod touch. Anybody could help?? Thanks!

Hello Juminten Cinta,
Since you are trying to manually add content to your iPod Touch, have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?
If it's already ticked, what exactly happens when you try to drag the songs over to your iPod?

IPOD auto. get songs from ITUNES?

My IPOD shuffle seems to automatically start to get any new songs I've added to Itunes...how do I stop this from automatically upating?
Thanks for any help offered,
Chris

Jeff,
That link applies to all iPods EXCEPT the shuffle. The shuffle CANNOT be put into manual mode. Try it yourself, you'll see there's no such option in the shuffle's preferences.
Chris, what you are talking about is a different auto-syncing problem than Jeff's link talks about anyways. I haven't had this problem with my shuffle but maybe because it's always full so there's no room for any songs to be added. But I think the easiest way to prevent the shuffle from "autofiling" with new songs you add to the library, is to create a specific playlist of only the songs you want on the shuffle. Then at the bottom of the shuffle window, chose that playlist instead of "Library" next to "autofill from". (Autofill is only supposed to happen if you press the big autofill button so I'm not sure what's going on in your case.)
Does that help?
Sara.

Trying to get Ipod to Update songs from ITunes

I have downloaded a whole stack of CDs into iTunes but I can't get my Ipod to Update with the new stuff.
Ever since I got my iPod (40GB) I have had problems with this. Sometimes I just have to go round and round in circles til the computer takes pity on me and it works (or at least, that's how it feels!!) but this week, it's having none of it and it's driving me nuts.
The manual says that if the option is set up, the IPod will automatically update when it is connected to the PC - but it doesn't (and the option is definitely set up right). My PC recognises that I have plugged it in and when I take it out, by making a noise, but the songs are not updating.
Can anyone help at all? The Ipod is fully charged, I have updated all software, tried re-setting, it is switched on etc. I don't want to start again as I have over 4000 songs in on my iPod and I don't want to have to download them all again.
Hoping someone out there can help. If not, watch your heads cos there's an Ipod about to be launched through a window!!! lol.

Thanks, but it didn't help.
However - I did finally get it to work!!!
I just kept resetting the Ipod, plugging it into my PC and updating the software until it finally did the update properly and then it finally updated my IPod!!
It has always been a problem, but this was longer than usual before it did it.
All I can suggest to others out there with the same problem is to make sure that your Ipod is completely charged before you start trying to update your Ipod. Re-boot your PC and then try again when everything is "fresh" etc.
Keep resetting the Ipod whilst it is plugged into the PC - press and hold the menu and select button for 6-10 seconds until the apple logo appears. When I did this, my PC kept making the noise like when you unplug it or plug it in and the PC recognises it - even though I hadn't unplugged it.
Eventually I got a message saying the software needed updating and to click on the "update" option (as far as I was aware, I had done this 4 times already, but I did it again anyway!). Part way through I got an icon on my Ipod saying to plug it into the mains to charge it (showing a plug going into plug socket). I did that, plugged it back into pc when it was fully charged again and Itunes finally recognised it and updated the Ipod.
A lot of messing and freaking annoying, but I got there in the end. Good luck to everyone else!!!
