ITunes upgrade-- can't upload songs

I just installed the "new and improved" iTunes 11.0. Now I can't upload new songs from CDs into my music library. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

thats great also but i cant upload my music onto someone else's computer. first my 40g ipod is full and im sure people wouldnt appreciate that either. what i need to do is get music ONTO my ipod, and with everyone updating to the new pain-in-the-*** 6.x of itunes i can't upload my own music with not having a computer anymore.
so what i need is to figure out if there is a way to do this. but thank you for the article. now if anyone knows that senuti will let me upload songs from that person's computer onto my ipod please let me know.

Can i upload song without iTunes? if so, how?

iTunes isn't working on my computer, but do i need it to upload songs, or is it just for buying music? i already have mp3s to upload already. is this possible w/o iTunes, if so how?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're comfortable going 'under the hood', this thread originally started in November 2010 contains a minor tweak to OS X that might work for you:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
It allows devices on iOS 4.2 or newer to print to shared wired and wireless printers as long as the Mac is on and awake.

HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes. When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop. How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back

ITunes Match fails to upload songs in Step 3

This is an update to my earlier post on this problem.
During Step 3, when iTunes Match is supposed to upload non-iTunes Store music and artwork, it fails for an unknown reason and repatedly attemps the process all over again. This continues until aborted by the user.
After several months of frustrated tinkering, one of the iTunes Senior Advisors, suggested a solution that did solve the probelm. The solution is to limit the upload speed of the router to something less than 3 Mbps. Apparently, with high speed uploads either the iTunes Match server or iTunes itself cannot cope with the data flow and the upload process crashes with no indication to the user. While this solved my problem and my approximately 1,500 songs eventually uploaded, it did take more than 10 hours. But its done and my compete library is now on iTunes Match.
I pointed out to Apple that this solution was, in my opinion, a serious flaw in the iTunes Match offering and that Apple needs to address the problem.
My ISP provider is Comcast and I typically get download speeds of 28 Mbps and upload speeds of 5 Mbps. Obviously the 5 Mbps is too fast for the iTunes Match ecosystem. I was able to adjust the upload speed by changing the QoS settings of my Linksys router and giving iTunes a priority over other apps.
Hopefully this post helps out others with the saem problem.

The -2114 error, typically occurs when trying to download / stream an uploaded Song file. The error tends to be intermittant and may simply indicate a failing server in the Apple infrastructure.
Local action, wait for a period and re-try - usually successful - once working, ensure you download and backup a secure local version - or simply restore a good version from existing local backup.

ITunes Match fails to upload songs

I am posting this as information for other hapless iTunes Match users with the same problem.
When I first subscribed to iTunes Match it successfully completed Steps 1 and 2 but failed to complete Step 3, where it uploads songs and artwork not found in the iTunes Store. The failure mechanism is that the screen "dims" and the process starts all over again. Cycling like this indefintely and never uploading any songs. However, those songs that could be matched were, and made available in iCloud for my iOS devices and Apple TV.
I have spent 4 weeks trading emails with an iTunes Senior Advisor, who reports that the engineers have told her that the issue is with Match and not my computer or songs (library). During this time my Match account was refunded so that I could try again, however, the results were the same and I have requested a second refund and will not use Match.
One of the experiments that I conducted was to create a new, and clean, iTunes Library and populate it with only six albums (to reduce testing time). Three albums were iTunes Store purchases and three were known to not be in the Store, thus had to be uploaded. Match completed its process with only the purchased albums but failed, in the manner described above, with the ones to be uploaded. Deleting iTunes preference files and having iTunes rebuild its XML library file had no effect on the problem.
Since Match obviously works for some people (but not for me) there must be an obscure issue with my libray or the Match servers, or both. Hopefully someone smarter than myself has some ideas.

ive having the same issue. do you get an error message when you try to upload on to the ipod?

I can't upload songs!

This might be the problem of my computer, but even when I plug my iPod into the usb port, nothing registers on the screen! On the computer AND on itunes. I can't upload music! Please help me!

OK so then that would indicate a hardware problem with your USB ports and nothing to do with the iPod or iTunes. It would appear your USB ports are broken or shutdown.
One thing you can try is to shut down your computer and then unplug the power cord from it to remove all power from the motherboard. Leave it unplugged for 5 minutes to allow any capacitors in there to discharge. Pluyg it back in, power back up and see if the USB ports come back.

After updating my Itune, I can not upload my purchases to my Ipod Touch

After updating to the latest Itune version, now I can not upload my new purchases to my Ipod Touch, although it synchs, but when I drag the album and drop it on Ipod logo on right hand side, nothing happens? I still have 8Gb of capacity left in my 16Gb Ipod Touch.

Is the music on your iPod or are you use iTunes Match?
You profile says you have a 4G iPod with iOS 5.0.1. Your subject line says iPod touch 2. What iPod and iOS do you have? In what app are you playing the music?

How can I upload songs to my ipod without formatting it on a new itunes?

I had my ipod touch connected to my old computer on itunes, but the computer went down and i cant access it anymore. I connected my ipod to my new computer and new itunes but it says it needs to be formatted and erase all songs on it so it can connect to the itunes. Is there a way i can use my new itunes, but keep all my old songs on my ipod? I have too many to erase them all.

It's very easy to backup media... you simply backup the computer.
Choosing to not backup the computer is rather ignorant. All it takes is a power surge, hard drive failure, natural disaster, computer virus, or theft and all your important media and files are gone.
Most Operating Systems have backup solutions included, it's simply up to the user to provide a place for it to backup (i.e external hard drive) there are also options to backup to a web based service.
As for the iPhone and iTunes not being user friendly, I'd seriously disagree with you on that statement. Ultimately it's up to you, but I think after a little hassle with another mp3 player and trying to manage it via other software you'll agree as well.

When iTunes upgraded, many of my song tags were changed by iTunes. This happened again when an update was sent this week. Is there any way to avoid this happening again in the future?

When I downloaded the new iTunes, it changed the tags on some of my tracks. As a result, I had to fix them manually. When I downloaded another upgrade this week, my tags changed again. How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

The cricual thing is to have a complete backup of your library that you could restore if needed.
What changes are you noticing? There appear to be some new as yet not well documented features designed to sync data across multiple libraries/devices which may have unwanted side effects.

ITunes Producer - can't upload iba file

Hi there,
I've created a book bundle with all my details via iTunes Producer, and the last step is uploading the publication and cover art. Cover art file uploaded fine into iTunes Producer, but the IBA files are all greyed out. It will not allow me to upload any IBA files whatever.
The below screenshot shows my iTunes Producer window, which won't let me click on the iBA file in the window directly below it. All greyed out. The window to the right is my actual IBA file that I want to upload. I don't know if it matters that the iTunes Producer file name is the name of the cover art file and not my IBA file (designforwriters-lm).
I set up my book in iTunes Producer separately from the PUBLISH button at the top of iBooks Author, because every time I tried to PUBLISH from there, the iTunes Producer box to bundle all my book details would not allow me to type in any information -- ISBN, publication date, next button -- I just got the bump sound from my computer that something was wrong and I could not do anything.
Thanks for your help.

1. Yes... you need to export your book when finished, do they same with your preview ( a separate book with a minimum of 15 pages.) unless you are using a chapter of the book or allowing iTunesProducer to create your preview. Then using Publish should work out OK, because during the delivery process you need to select both the iBooks file of your book ( and preview if its a mini bbok you intended).   Mant people try to upload their working file ..which is xxxxxx.iba. The .iba file opens your book in iBooks Author and is NOT used in the iBooks store.
2. Preview: you do not have to minimise the the file size by removing video. The idea of a preview is to allow the rerader and oppportunity to examine a sample of teh books contents which may help to decide a purchase of the full book. The Preview should be 15 pages minimum. If you have - say 5 chapters, you could leave in the video and delete everything except 3 pages in each chapter. The content is your choice- but needs to promote your book in a positive way.
Preview: Chapter - you indicate when asked and select the chapter you prefer to use.
Preview: Let iTunesProducer auto create - if you select this option - you do not have to upload any file.. iTunesProducer will auto select a suitable sample to use.
3. If you cretae a folder for each book you make, and move the books working file..ie xxxxxx.iba file type
if/when you export a book it will be placed in that folder also.
When you reach the section to select your book and preview, if you have created one, when you select, you need to navigate to the folder and select the iBooks file. I don't see how you can have two files with identical names... also if you create a preview, it needs to have a different name. I rename to PREVIEWmybook.ibook- but anything will be OK- as long as you understand your changed name.
This way your files should not create any problems.
4. If you need to ..come back if it occurs again. ( which it may if you need to update the book later ).
A useful item on your desk, is a notebook and pen! Use it to make notes on errors or create a checklist of everything needed in the delivery process and annotate their individual requirements.
In truth, you seem to have done everything correctly and apart from file names..it possible previous issues create anxiety when uploading a new book.
I always suggest having everything needed per book to be in its own folder:-
1. book.iba file ( plus any test version and backups ie mybookBU1.iba PLUS 1 preview book file (xxx.ibook) if using one.
2. 4 screen shots and 1 cover image at the correct size.
3. I use a plain txt file with my "description "   I write it up and change as needed and simply copy and past when I start a deliver process.
I appreciate you may already do this, but I include for any newbies who may see this later.
Good luck with your books.....

ITunes freezing -- can't import songs

This morning I upgraded the new iTunes, hoping that the bugs from the last version were gone. I'm an idiot.
I went to sync my iPod, and for over 10 minutes, iTunes has been stuck on "Verifying Owner's iPod". Last night, iTunes froze up on me for the first time, while trying to get the 2.5 GB of new music I had imported transferred onto my iPod.
I love my iPod, but the problems with iTunes are making my purchase very frustrating.

It appears that one of the reasons I could not import songs is because iTunes 11 only seems to recognise .mp3 or .aac
I had been trying to import .caf and .aif
The old version used to recognise most audio file types and would also convert mot types to another ........... so long as they were .mp3, .aif or .caf

My iPhone is all of a sudden locked in iTunes, I can't transfer songs, videos or anything.

When I click on my iPhone after I've hooked it up to iTunes everything is gray.
The boxes I've always been able to check - not anymore!
When I click and drag a song from my iTunes music library to my iPhone a little stop sign poppes up next to the arrow.
It's like my iPhone's locked in iTunes.
There's no difference with my iPhone or my iTunes separatly, they've just stopped working together.
Any help?
Because I could sure use it!

Can't Upload Songs

I just got a new ipod and a new computer (windows vista) a little while ago, and I know that itunes has some problems with vista but it hasn't been to bad. today though, I borrowed some cds from my friend and after importing some of the into my library without a problem, I tried putting them on my ipod and most of them would not show up. it would say "syncing ipod" at the top of the itunes screen and it would have the little icon next to my ipod in the devices column, but then it would stop in a few seconds and none of the songs are there. when i tried before, all the songs had the ! next to them and wouldn't play, and none of the new songs appeared on my ipod. can someone help me out?

I dont remember the procedure but since you authorized everything on the one computer, you need to deauthorize it on that computer, move your music to your computer, and then authorize your computer
go through these and see if it helps:

Restored ipod, but can't upload songs

restored my ipod to factory setting. but i can't seem to get my songs onto the ipod. i dont have the installaion disk. i not to sure if i need to the disk. when connected to itunes, ipod is not linking. please help.

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
If the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.
Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
