Itunes won't download all songs to ipod

Whenever I try to update or add more songs to my ipod it states that certain music could not be added to my ipod because my computer is not authorised to play those songs. But all of the songs that won't load are the ones I purchased from itunes music store. It's the same computer and nothing has changed. It happened after I bought a new album from the itunes music store. Any sugestions

Play the songs in iTunes first (just a few seconds) and then update the iPod.

ITunes won't download all songs from a purchased CD

I'm a choral singer and put a lot of music I'm going to sing on my iPod and then use it to study scores. I just tried to (manually) add 4 "songs" from a purchased CD. The first two came out fine. The third one stopped recording about a minute before the end, and the 4th is no where to be found. Can anyone help. I've tried deleting everything from that CD, rebooting and trying again - with no success. I've only once had a similar problem - and then the whole CD wouldn't download. I hope someone out there can help me. Thanks.

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

ITunes match won't download all songs from CD

Im having trouble downloading certain songs with iTunes match. There's a few albums I uploaded to iTunes from a cd that are not able to download one or more songs to my devices. For example, one album has 13 songs, but one song is greyd out. I don't understand why that is. It's the same with a few other albums as well. All albums with this issue are albums that were CDs I uploaded to iTunes.
My computer is authorized, so I'm lost. Any ideas out there? Thanks

ITUNES WON'T SYNC ALL SONGS TO IPAD

When syncing my ipad 2 to itunes on my desktop, not all songs transfer over. I select one play list to sync, and some of the songs move to the ipad though all show up on the desktop/itunes view of my ipad. It appears that the songs that won't sync are ones I've loaded onto itunes from a cd while all of the songs that transfer are purchased. Ive tried reseting the ipad to original settings, turning the computer authorization off and back on and hard resetting the ipad. And both the ipad and itunes are currently updated. And these same songs that won't transfer have transfered fine to my ipod. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Itunes won't download 1 song from a cd

I have a Cd, Relapse, by Eminem. Itunes downloaded ALL the first 19 of the 20 songs perfectly, and I synced them to my iPhone and iPod Touch, but the last song, Underground, won't download from the cd at all, not on the computer, or any of the devices. The Cd does not have even 1 scratch, it's perfect. Is there a way to fix this, or get the song from iTunes for free instead? Any help is appreciated!

Yes, any tips out there for increasing the likelihood of iTunes Match actually recognizing my music?
Out of about 7000 songs of mine iTunes match only recognized about 2800, and wants to upload the rest. I've stopped it from doing that because of the big draws of iTunes match was the ability to get higher quality versions of most of my library. A 40% success rate is not very good.
When I check the iTunes store, the songs and albums that it says it cannot match are clearly there. I'm not talking about obscure artists, but folks like the Beatles, the Beastie Boys,James Brown (just to name some of the B's).
So, any tips as to how to increase the likelihood that iTunes Match will actually, um, match, most of the songs in my library?
All my ID3 tags are pretty well in order, and iTunes can recognize my songs to provide album art, so why can't it recognize them for Match (I know it uses different matching algorithums for each, but they should bot be equally successful).
If I cannot get this to work, I am going to demand my money back.

My iTunes won't download music to my iPod Touch 5th Generation

I just recently bought some CD's, and I have found that my iTunes program won't let me download them to my iPod. I believe I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I have a Windows Vista... I don't know if it's because I updated to the newest iTunes version(12.0.1) and the latest ios for my iPod, but I've never had the problem of not being able to download songs to my iPod before... When I try to move the songs from my iTunes to my iPod, there is a blue highlight around my playlists, but not around my iPod... On iTunes, I do have the option to "manually manage music and videos" checked off. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! (And I don't know what this is, I've tried to fix it but it still comes up, there is an error message when I start iTunes that says "iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?" Could someone please help me with this as well?)

ITunes does not sync all songs to iPod

Hi, I have the older iPod with the first color screen, 30gb. Now, for some reason upon syncing (multiple attempts), I'm only able to sync 3921 of 4,185 songs in my library on an external hard drive. All of my songs were imported from my CDs while some were bought at the iTunes store. I'm not sure why 264 songs won't import nor which songs they are.
Is there a way to figure out why they won't import and which songs are "stuck" in iTunes?
Thanks,
Mike

so i restore my ipod (30gb) to its original settings due to the fact that i had a lock code on there and couldnt remember what it was to unlock volume...so restored it and now all my songs arent syncing on it..

New computer but Itunes won't transfer all songs.

I know there are other topics but basically my problem is this, my new computer won't sync all of my songs on my iPod. Apparently I'm not authorized to do so. So, I try to authoize my computer with my AOL sign in and it says I need to create an Apple id. So I click continue and it just says that the iTunes store could not process my request and to try again later.
Also, I already have an Apple id to make this post so will I be able to combine it with my AOL name?

sorted it out by playing a purchased track which then required authorising. everything else fell into place.

Itunes will not download complete song on ipod

I have tried with several different ipods and it will not download complete songs. Tried putting them on one at a time or whole sections. I did all the upgrades except the safari. Please help... I have a lot of songs and very disappointed kids too!

You are in the dreaded "Authorization Loop". Here are the usual fixes - try them in this order, syncing your iPod after each one.
1. Deauthorize the PC for both accounts until it is showing zero authorizations on that PC for both accounts. Then reauthorize the PC again fr both accounts.
2. Delete the SC Info folder (not just the file) as mentioned in this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
3. Download a free single of the week and play a few seconds of it.

I pre ordered the mmlp2 but itunes won't download the songs that are available

Like my title says i pre ordered the mmlp2 album, then itunes started to download the monster (single) and it stopped by that song it didnt download the other ones so i canceled my pre order re pre ordered it again and got the clean version (which i dont want but it went from my account) then i cancelled that and pre ordered again but thiis time the explicit version and itunes still wont download the other songs despite the monster please help me i almost used all my itunes money for nothing.

Same happened to me when trying to pre order MMLP2. Only took 5 minutes to figure out. On your itunes store at the top of the screen where it says your username, or email for apple ID. Click it and your account information will pop up. One of the options was saying "you have 18 songs ready for download". Click that and they will start downloading. Easy fix, though auto download the second the album is released would make more sense.

Latest version of Itunes won't download latest version of ipod touch softwa

I have a macbook from April of 2008 which has the latest version of itunes 10.10.01. I have apps that i've purchased from the itunes store (including a $20 german-english translator that i DESPERATELY need for class). I recently restored my ipod to factory settings because I was experiencing issues with it charging properly.
Now i've had the german app for over a year before the restore and it worked just fine. But now my computer and itunes keeps telling me that the app needs the latest version of ipod touch software in order to sync the app. When I click "check for updates" on the ipod screen it claims that my ipod touch software is up to date - but lists it as 2.2.1!!
I know that the lastest version of ipod software is MUCH later than 2.2.1 but I can't seem to convince my itunes of this. Someone help me out please! I've done everything I can think of but my itunes is up to date and i NEED the app.
Much appreciated!!

there could be the problem of that u didnt update to 4.0 and r at 3.1.3 and r trying to update to 4.1 u might have to take your ipod to an apple store for them to check it out

My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

How to download all songs from my external drive into my itunes library

I have enough Gbytes to not use an external drive for my music.
How do I proceed to download all songs from the external drive on my internal drive?

Hello there, Laetidela.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps on how to move your iTunes library from an external hard drive to your computer:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
