1. ive got 2 users using itunes in my xp computer. when any of the itunes adds songs, is there any way of automatically adding them to the other itunes too?
2. i have added new songs to my library since my last ipod connect and update. if i connect my ipod, is there some way for new songs, videos to automatically upload into my ipod?

I have purchased recent songs on iTunes within the last week and now my iPod is not synching with recently purchased songs. I have all the current updates. Help!

Hi there seanstrvln,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue syncing recently purchased music from iTunes on your computer to your iPod nano. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of selecting the music that is synced to your iPod and displaying music that has already been synced to the device.

Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs import despite plenty of available space in both devices. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or Seagate network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs or 20 or so "songs" out of a total of 40 - 80 import despite plenty of available space in both devices. When I check itunes, each opera disc with all of the "songs" are listed. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

right click on the songs that do transfer and select create aac version then re sync

When I try putting songs from itunes on my ipod, they don't show up

It doesn't acknowledge that I put them on, and when I try to sync it it still doesn't have them on.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method

Last, backup the iPod and then restore from backup see:

So i went to transfer purchases and It wouldent let me. So how do i transfer my purchases before i restore my ipod so i can back it uup so i dont lose everything. Thanks

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Can't import songs from iTunes to my iPod

I'm not sure if I have a problem with iTunes or my iPod, but I'll try this forum anyway. I already asked this under the iTunes category.
Basically, there's a sudden problem where, for the life of me, my iPod will not accept new music. It shows up fine under "Devices" in iTunes and I can import music from a CD in iTunes (which is almost exclusively how I import music). I normally highlight the songs from my library I want to import and I drag them to my iPod icon under "Devices".
I've tried moving the lock switch on and off, clicking the "sync" button, and looking up features in Preferences, but I can't seem to find what to do.
Oh, and I also can't add album artwork to songs already on my iPod.

Hello Organs,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since it sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents, make sure you have the *Manually manage music and videos* option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.
Otherwise what happens when you do try to drag music over to it? Do you get a red circle with a line through it or anything at all?
Oh, and I also can't add album artwork to songs already on my iPod.
If you manually manage your iPod's contents, you'll need to manually remove these songs from under your iPod via iTunes and drag the new copy with the artwork back over to it. Yes, very tedious, but that's what manually syncing is all about.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

Are all songs checked in your playlist?

Itunes recognises my ipod but will not add new songs to it.

Hi guys,
I have 4th generation ipod (u2 special edition) that has given me no problems since i bought it 2004, its in perfect condition.

I havn't changed any setting at all so im at a complete loss!!
Many Thanks in advance,
Lou

Can anyone please shed some light on this, i really cant afford a new ipod right now! thanks!

My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!
