ITunes will not allow me to tranfer songs from my ipod

Hello! I just bought a new computer and downloaded iTunes 7 on it. I then authorized it. I cannot get music from my ipod (that I had before I got the new computer) onto my new library. Also, I cannot burn a playlist I created from my ipod (listed under devices). The burn button is not in the lower right hand corner. Any ideas? Thank you

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. Neither can you burn from an iPod playlist, only from one in iTunes. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases only. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • ITunes will not allow me to put songs on my Ipod...

    I updated my itunes and ipod and everything. I've had my ipod for a year now and have never had a problem like this. I drag my songs from my music folder onto my ipod itunes area and it says it's putting it on my ipod but when it finishes the song(s) are nowhere to be found. I have like 2500 songs on my ipod and numerous videos so it's not like I've never done this before. It only happened when I updated to the new iTunes so I figured I'd uninstall it and put back the old itunes I had which was iTunes6.0.5 and I get this error now when I try and open it:

    Can anyone either please tell me how to fix that error or tell me how to fix the problem with the new iTunes because I'll re-install it if someone can help. Thanks.

    I installed itunes 06 and now it will not allow me to put my purchased songs on my ipod. I get the notice that my computer is not authorized. Yet, each time I try to authorize it, I receive the notice that authorization was successful and there is only one computer authorized. I never had this problem before I installed itunes '06. Can anyone help? It sounds like the same problem the person before me had.

  • ITunes will not allow me to delete songs off my ipod, option is not available

    i am trying to delete songs from my ipod 160 GB, and i do not have the ability to. I've tried delete key, right clicking, and edit. when i go to edit, delete option is there but grey'd out...please help i'd like to switch up my music. i also tried rebooting the computer, and also reinstalled itunes.

    To delete a track from your phone (you are in the 'on my device' music section ?) then just select/highlight the track and press the delete button on your keyboard.

  • My computer is already authorized. However, iTunes will not allow me to play songs that I've already purchased

    My computer is already authorized. However, iTunes will not allow me to play songs that i have already purchased.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if only a small number of songs are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • ITunes will not recognize my Recently Played music from my iPod

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and I also upgraded my iPod as well to 1.2. I've been having problems with my iTunes not keeping track of the recently played tracks. If I look into my ipod history via iTunes it doesn't list any recently played tracks is there any way to fix this? thanks!

    hello.
    i wonder, have you resolved this problem? if not, i had the same problem, and it was really annoying me. i, too, posted a message on these boards - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3639877#3639877. nobody replied though. so, not knowing what else to do, i reset my ipod because i also had recently updated both my ipod and itunes software when i started having this problem. this seemed to fix it somehow.
    if you are still having the problem, maybe try doing this.
    let me know if this works for you :o)

  • How do you delete songs from Itunes? I have many that show up as many as 7 times and itunes will not allow me to remove them.

    I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, which is available here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Then try following the steps in this Apple article to create an account without a credit card -> Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

  • ITunes will not allow me to edit any song information

    Not sure why but iTunes will not allow me to edit any song information in iTunes library.

    Just a few questions first. When did the problem begin & did you install/change anything at that time? Are the songs greyed out and do they play okay?

  • Itunes will not allow me to add newly purchased songs to my ipod classic, i have no problems with adding free podcasts but anything that i have purchasedd when i drag it over to ipod the little red circle with line through it stops me. what has gone wrong

  • HT1349 I have multiple albums that I've purchased that iTunes will not allow me to play stating they cannot locate the source. I then tried going into available downloads in iTunes to see if I needed to download it again, and iTunes tells me it is already

    I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?

    Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer.  Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files.  They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source.   The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
    On your computer, search for one of the songs.  All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest.  When you find it, note the directory  and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
    Ibarra.
    Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file.  I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
    One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
    Second side effect,  if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play.

  • ITunes will not allow me to play this...?

    I bought a song from the iTunes store, and it will not allow me to move it to my iPod because it says I "am not authorized to play it on this computer." But I know I bought it because the cost of the song was deducted from my gift card money.
    Can anyone help me with this? I am not pleased.

    Have you gone to the iTunes Store menu > Authorize Computer and enter your Apple ID and password when prompted?
    Then try synching the song to your iPod again.

  • New iTunes will not allow me to manually sync music to Iphone 4s

    I had to change my computer's hard disk which is a mac, I updated itunes as I had done before with my other hard disk, but now my itunes will not allow me to manage anything in my iphone 4s. I cannot manually sync music to my iphone as I used to, not even the option "ADD TO" appears when you click on the "On this phone" tab. I was wondering what I have to do for my itunes to recognize that it is my phone.

    It gets stuck at preparing to update every time I try.

  • I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all photos. And I cannot find them anywhere.

    I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?

    Were the photos taken by your new iPhone?  If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore?  If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
    Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide.

  • Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

    Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library.  Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Am syncing my iPhone 4 to a new laptop. It will not allow me to transfer music from this new laptop/iTunes to my phone. Why? And how do i fix this?

    Hi there,
    I have a new laptop.
    I have music on my laptop that I have not purchased through iTunes (ie, uploaded CD's, copied to my laptop from my old computer, etc).
    For some reason, iTunes will not allow me to transfer this music to my iPhone. I get the "red circle with the cross through it" symbol when I try to drop it into the iPhone..
    Can someone suggest a way that I can oversome this and add my music to my phone from my new computer?
    At this stage, I can only add music to it via the old iTunes/old computer that the phone was originally synced to.
    Cheers
