Ipod works great except it won't add purchased books from Itunes

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes purchased books. Can anyone help me with that?

Make sure your iPod is configured to sync these books from under its Book's configuration tab in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab configure your iPod to sync your books however you like.

IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes

I cannot figure out why my iPod mini skips over purchased music from iTunes. I looked at the files and they are .mp4 & there is a little lock symbol on the file. Someone help! I have already dowloaded the latest updates and nothing has changed...

I have the same problem as others mentioned here. I just updated my mini to 1.4, and iTunes to 6.0. Just purchased an album and went to play it and all the songs were just skipped over by my mini. Then checked and the same happens for all purchased music.
I then check in iTunes and everything plays fine there. Then uploaded the songs to my 40GB and everything plays fine on the 40GB. I recently updated the 40GB to the latest firmware as well.
The mini plays all other music just fine.

Nano won't play purchased music from iTunes 6!

Is there anyone else that is having problems playing purchased music from iTunes 6 on your iPod? My 4GB iPod nano is not playing (i.e. skipping over) songs that I have purchased AFTER I upgraded to iTunes 6. My iPod software is up-to-date and I tried resetting the iPod, but neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

From what I've read, resetting your nano erases the music, etc. from your nano, putting the software back to its original state.
This really has to s*ck, but if it works, its good that you can fix it that way. It does, however, make a great real life case for backing up your music.
I've been using software (no I don't work for them) called e-backup for my email. I have receipts and other email from 2002! But, the point: it allows you to backup other folders/files. I included my music as an option yesterday because I remember losing term papers, etc. that I didn't backup to floppy or disk. Just in case!

My Ipod works great except it recently stopped playing music.

Every other button works fine and is as it was - except the songs won't actually play. Any ideas? Thank you!

Ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes - what do I do?

I bought a new ipod and also had to reinstall everything on my laptop. So I have video ipod. I managed to transefer my music from my old ipod to my new itunes. Now I have my new ipod and it has synced most of the music but for some reason it won't sync my purchased music. Can someone help?
Thanks

Play one of the purchased songs in iTunes to authorize your computer.

30 GB Video iPOD won't sync purchased songs from iTUNES.

Previously, on the same computer, I have synced purchased songs from my Itunes library to my iPOD. Now, suddenly, an error message says that I'm not authorized to do so. I use my computer in two countries, the US and Taiwan, and wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I've already restored the Ipod and reloaded all the songs. The purchased songs still appear in my library but will not sync.

Have you tried Deauthorizing then Authorizing your computer through the Store menu in iTunes?

Purchased books from iTune store and downloaded it. Now, when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message saying the title cannot be found. I cannot find a screen that offers an option to re-download. What gives?

I purchased a box set of books on iTunes, and downloaded them. The title shows up in the "purchased" section, but when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message telling me it cannot be moved because it cannot be found. I can't find a screen anywhere offering the option to re-download either. I've paid for the books, but cannot access them! Every time I upgrade iTunes, it gets more confusing and harder to use.

Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

I have an ipod 1st generation, when i try to add a game from itunes it says an update is needed. How do I do this.

I have a 1st generation ipod, when downloading games some say update ipod , the game does not go through. some games work some don't, the ipod will not update. what do I do.

A 1G iPod Touch cannot be upgraded past iOS 3.1.3. So if an app you have downloaded in iTunes requires a later version of iOS than 3.1.3, I'm afraid you won't be able to sync or use that app on your device unless you upgrade to a newer device that supports a later version of iOS.

New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

I must have missed a step. My old windows laptop died. Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch. Didn't work. Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop. Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop. Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library. Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch.

New ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes library

I just purchased a new ipod and when I try to sync my library it will not transfer any purchased songs that are in my library. All the songs are checked and I selected sync all music.

Do these purchased tracks play in iTunes? What other options do you have enabled from under the Summary and Music tabs for your iPod? Are you saying non-iTunes purchased tracks sync okay?

Old mini won't download purchased tunes from itunes

After jacking around trying to put in new battery (never got it in because I stripped the screw), I plugged in to computer to charge and it told me "some items in library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer". Computer is the same...ipod is the same. 55 purchased songs are not on ipod now. They used to be. What happened? Why won't they copy to ipod again? Thanks, Sandy

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and enter your iTunes Store account information. Changing the hardware configuration may cause iTunes to think it's on a different computer.

2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player
