ITunes won't let me transfer songs to my iPod

iTunes used to let me transfer songs fine, but now it transfers a few and then tells me the file is "corrupt" and that the disc "cannot be read from or written to." Please help -- restoring the iPod hasn't worked at all!

See this troubleshooting article.

  • My iTunes won't let me play songs from my iPod saying I am unauthorized...

    ...I had to replace my Macbook Pro, I now have a new one. When I plug in my iPod it says it can't upload the songs because I am not authorized and I need to go to store > authorize. I did, 5 times and it said it was successful, I am only on 2 out of 5. But my iPod still says I am not authorized to play the songs on my new computer! Please help, i want my songs back.

    The easiest way I think is to use Music Rescue and take the tracks from your iPod to a folder your new computer (or an external HD) and then import them to iTunes on the new computer manually. Once the tracks are in iTunes then reconfigure the iPod to the new computer.
    Apple doesn't make an easy way to do this within the Apple equipment for security reasons and as you probably already know, an iPod is linked to the computer that you use to update or charge the battery and the only way to recharge the iPod independent of the linked computer is to use a wall charger or the like.
    I think this is the problem that you are describing ..... good luck.

  • Itunes won't let me transfer tunes to my iPod touch

    Itunes has stopped transferring music to my iPod touch even though I have enough room on it . I can still transfer to my ipad though , this has been going on fro two weeks and is very frustrating . I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it several times but it makes no difference . I am using windows 7 . Sometimes on start up I get a message which tells me that itunes is not communicating with my ipod properly and gives me an option to try and fix it but even though I press ok , nothing changes . Please help I am going stark staring mad

    - Try another cable unless the other device works OK witht he same cable
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes won't let me sync songs onto my ipod from my itunes library

    i just want my music on my compuer on my ipod lol

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • IPod Touch won't let me transfer songs from iTunes; songs are grey

    I got a new iPod touch about a month ago and transferred my entire library (about 6000 songs) just fine. Now, though, I find out that not all songs transferred (initially, I selected my entire library and dragged the songs over...i don't want to auto-sync my library, preferring to manage my library manually). So now, iTunes won't let me drag any songs over, and when I highlight my iPod in the menu, all my songs are grey and I can't select them to edit the information or anything.
    Any ideas? thanks, in advance, for your help.

    Did you check if the restrictions for iTunes are activated in Settings/General/Restrictions?

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

  • ITunes won't let me buy songs

    I try to click to buy something and itunes won't let me buy it, no messages pop up, it just does nothing. I click and click and click, and nothing happens.

    I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards.  I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.  Give it a try.

  • HELP! iTunes won't let me put music on my iPod

    I need help, whenever i try to transfer my music on to my iPod, for itunes, it won't let me put it on my iPod.
    I NEED HELP!!!!!

    Okay, I see.
    That's most likely because you are automatically syncing your iPod.
    If you click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab, you are probably selected for "Sync", and either selected playlists, or all songs.
    On the Syncing optoin, you cannot drag files to your iPod without setting up your iPod for manually managing, perhaps just temporarily.
    See this for details on manually managing your iPod:

  • Bought new computer, Won't let me transfer songs from Ipod to new computer?

    Is this possible? I have several hundred songs on my Ipod/other computer (desktop). I bought a new Dell laptop and I was hoping I could transfer all the songs on my new computer. It did let me transfer the songs that were purchsed through Itunes but not the others that I downloaded from CD's. When I connect the Ipod to the new computer it shows no songs on it.
    Can I just connect my laptop to my desktop and tranfer songs or is there a way to trasfer the songs from the Ipod to the new laptop?

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • ITunes won't let me take songs off iPod

    The library screen on iTunes shows my iPod listed in the source box. However, when I click on my iPod the screen won't let me open up, erase, export etc. songs from there. All the songs are muted gray and can't be activated by clicking on them.

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.
    Please not that by editing/changing/deleting the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • Itunes won't let me transfer new music to my iPhone 4S

    I recently had an issue with Filevault and unfortunately had to have my Macbook Pro wiped clean. I have yet to transfer all of my old files from my external hard drive back on to my computer, but since then have downloaded some new music. I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4S with my computer in order to transfer music on to my phone through iTunes for the past few days and it just won't let me. I have tried troubleshooting using a few websites, and have made sure that allowing iTunes to automatically sync when I plug in my iPhone through a USB port is checked. I really would like to put new music on my phone. Please help!

    Hi there elliephantttt!
    Sometimes the most reliable way to sync your phone with your computer will be through a manual sync. You can set up your computer to manage your phone this way by following the steps in this article:

  • ITunes won't let me edit songs

    when i try to edit a song in itunes, everything is greyed out and won't let me change anything. When i run the program as administrator i can (BTW i am an administrator on this computer) but its a hassle having to do this everytime i open itunes + it doesn't show what i'm listening to in MSN. This obviusly wasn't a problem when i had XP. How do i fix this?

    I've already tried that to no avail. And the weird thing is, some i can edit and some i cannot.
    I was looking at another folder, where I have other music and the permissions for the folder for "Users (AdelynMAIN\Users) doesn't have modify or write check marked but i can edit music in that folder. The one in the main music folder everything is checked for "Users (AdelynMAIN\Users)" and it doesn't work...
    Now if i move a .mp3 from the main to the other folder, everything is still greyed out.

  • Itunes won't let me move songs?

    When I try and move a list of songs from my iPod, to a newly created playlist it won't let me do it? Can anyone shed any light?
    Thanks
    Btw, I am on a Mac Book Pro Retina, latest updates on everything. If that makes a difference?

    iTunes only lets you move items purchased from the iTunes Store from an i-device to a computer.  You can copy anything the other way.
