Music and Photos on iPhone and iPod

I first got an iPod nano, then I bought an iPhone. I'm trying to get my iTunes music and photos onto iPhone but it won't let me. Is there a way to get music and photos on both devices? Will I have to create another iTunes account on the same computer and upload my music all over again or is there a better way? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

No. I sync three ipods and an iphone to the same itunes account and library.
How are you trying to get music on it?
You have to select the options from the tabs in itunes.
Perhaps a review of the manual would help:

  • HT1329 Why do we bother with ipod?? I had to change my computer and now my library containing my own music AND ipod purchased music is all dissagrregated. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

    Apple, you HAVE to get a little more customer friendly about the music we buy. We also have our own music and when we download it guess where it goes? into my Apple library. PS That's mine. To make our life difficult your protocols will not allow me to simply "move" my ENTIRE itunes library to my new computer. Why the heck not?? Explanation please. And not because there are other steps you created. Why do you not ALLOW it? Want me to repurchase or reload music I already put on there? Geeezzz.
    PS the result.............I havent been able to buy nor am I now inclined to buy more music because....I cant. Good thing I put some good good playlists on my IPOD because it seems its now a portable CD.
    Not Happy.

    Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
    But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
    Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
    Good Luck

  • Itunes music and ipod music are greyed out, can't click them why?

    I have about 2,400 songs and only 5 of them i can click and listen on my new ipod touch 5g. i have itunes the newest one, and most of the songs are greyed out also on itunes. so i cant play them on itunes and my ipod. what the ****? i usually download music and drag the file to itunes and also drag it to a folder where i keep all my song files incase it ever needs a "locate file". When i click sync it syncs the music but when it says a song can't be read or written it stops the entire sync process. What do i do?

    Do all the songs play in iTunes? If so then:
    Try:
    - 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
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My old computer died, is there a way to transfer my music/video/photo library from my iPod to my new computer?

    Not certain which kind of iPod it is, it doesn't say it is any kind specifically. It came in a black box that says iPod. I have had it for at least 7 years.  Before I erase everything and start over, is it possible to get the files off the iPod without the old computer in the equation? Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.

  • Old Computer dead: all music/mov/photos on ipod, need to transfer

    My old computer is dead, I just want to transfer the gigabytes of music/movies/photos currently on my ipod over to my new computer. I thought it would be a user friendly breeze, but it looks likes it much harder than i expected and I need help
    (btw i managed to transfer apps and i saw some message about 1 out of a max of 5 something and de-authorizing but I cant de-authorize anything or do anything else on my old computer)
    thanks

    This is one of the many reasons that maintaining a backup is basic. Just use your backup to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (terrible idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

  • "photos" option does not appear in my interface.  Do have Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps and Radio. Photo doesn't appear on iPhone or iPod Nano

    Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

  • The latest version of ITunes has totally changed how I load music or photos on my IPod and IPhone.  It used to be I could highlight a song list  or cd from my library and drag it to the i pod icon and it would load.  Now, it's changed and I can't fig

    I have a Macbook Pro operating system OSX 10.7.5  My Itunes version is 12.01.26.  Here's the problem:  with the older versions of ITunes I could connect a device and highlight and drag whatever music I wanted to load from my library to the device.  Now, there's a different process which I cannot fathom.  I don't want to sync my i-pod every time i want to add music; i don't want to restore my iPhone to do the same or to add photographs which were sent to me and then uploaded  to my computer.  Can anyone out there give me a step by step process on how to do these what used to be very simple procedures.  Thanks in advance.  Also, how do I contact someone in Apple who deals with consumer complaints?

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I already have a iPhone 5 setup with iTunes. All I want to put on her iPod is music and apps. How do I set the iPod to only get that information using my iTunes?

    I just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation for my daughter. I have a iPhone 5 that is already set up on iTunes. The only thing I want on her iPod from my iTunes is music and apps. How do I set her iPod up so that it only gets that information? Do I set it up as a new device? If so will that alter my iTunes?
    Thanks.

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • IPhone's iPod content (music and videos) no longer visible!

    I just upgraded my iTunes to 7.6 and now, after syncing my iPhone, all of the iPod-type data (music, video, podcasts, etc.) is now not visible on the iPhone. The "capacity" bar at the bottom of the iTunes screen show that all of the data (5.76GB) is still there, but now it is all the orange color for "other." My photos are still yellow in the bar and viewable on my iPhone, but I get a "No Music" and "No Videos" screen on the iPhone when I try to view that content. Apparently it is still there, but somehow the "file type" has been changed. My only two recent changes are updating to iTunes 7.6 and upgrading the iPhone software to the current 1.1.3. I've tried restarting the iPhone with the home/powerswitch method and have rebooted the computer several times as well. I was going to try and downgrade iTunes by installing 7.5, but another user noted that 7.5 will not read the updated 7.6 playlist. ANY IDEAS?? (all of this is on 10.4.11, not Leopard.)

    Hey Larry,
    I went ahead and did a "restore" and everything was back to normal. It did take a while, though, as it wiped out then re-copied over 7Gigs of data to the phone. It was a hassle, but all is OK. I'm still concerned, though. I also spoke with a Genius at the Apple store who had never seen this, and thought it was a problem with the "file type" in iTunes, but i checked and movies were still "movie" filetype. He suggested MANUALLY checking/adjusting every file, but that is rediculous and there were hundreds of songs and videos!! Anywho, on my iPhone the date outside of the iPod items (music, videos, podcasts, etc.) was not effected, and all is back to normal after a lengthy "restore." Still looking for a "why" on this one...

  • ITunes can't sync photo to both 160GB iPod Classic and 16GB iPhone 3g?

    I had the Classic for some time, and never had a problem sync'ing photos.
    Then I added an iPhone, and I received the infamous "insufficient permissions" sync error.
    Per unwritten SOP, I deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the *iPhoto Library* package, then re-sync'ed the iPhone. Miraculously, the photos were re-"optimized," and now on the iPhone.
    Then re-sync'ing the iPod yields the "file cannot be found" sync error. One which cannot be solved by repairing permissions, reinstalling iTunes, or restoring the iPod.
    So I can only remove photos sync from the iPod, and enjoy them only on my iPhone.
    Apparently, only one (set of) file(s) is created in the optimization process, a file (set) that is device-specific.
    Thank you for the new bug (reported), Apple. You're really on a roll with them lately.

    Well, I guess I fixed it by taking off enough music for it to let me add the photo then putting the music back on. :\

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • I have an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1 - I uploaded its music library to my new laptop, using Tunejack. However, I now cannot download music from my laptop to the iPod (but can download to my iPad2 and iPhone 4S). I have gone under 'music' tab. Any ideas?

    I have got an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1, which contained my music library, including uploaded CDs and purchases. I have a new laptop (using Windows 7) and upIoaded my music library from the iPod, using Tunejack, onto the laptop. I then made a few purchases but these weren't showing up on my iPod, so in frustration, thinking this would rectify the problem, I then re-booted the iPod, with the result that my entire music library disappeared from it.  I then went to sync with my lap top and went in under the 'Music' tab and clicked on download 'entire music library' but nothing happens. I have also tried 'selected playlists, artists, albums and genres' but this has not worked as well. The same issue dows not apply with eitehr my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S.  As mentioned, this music library did come from my iPod so there is no space issue. If anyone has any suggestions i would be grateful.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I have a new IPAD4 which has synced pictures i selected but not music or films i selected from itunes library? I have had an account for years and never had issues syncing with iphone or ipod? when i attempt ipad the data shows and it cycles but nothing?

    show the data shows whe i selet for sync (i have ticked sync only ticked icon) and selected two playlists - the data usage shows an extra 3.2 gb off my 32g ipad and the movies show up purple on the data usage bar, i press apply / sync it takes 20mins to go through 5 stages - never once do i see a song title or number in the update display. then when it finishes the data usage bar goes back to the lower amount before i tried to add the music and movies to my ipad?? The only thing that i have managed to move if pictures??
    Im confused, ive always got on fine with moving, updating and syncing my iphone, ipod touch, have done this the same way but NO music or films
    when i go through the summary section it says i have selected 757 songs (off two playlists) and i movie (from a digital copy via itunes), they show in usage bar b4 sync but then after sync nothing! i have tried both wi fi sync and normal, i have the lastest updates and CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
    When i set up the ipad out the box the other day it asked whether i wanted a NEW INSTALL or RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP (presumbly off iphone), I choose restore, it then downloaded all the apps and web history/bookmarks etc, although it took about 8 hours to do it which i thought was odd?!
    Ive spent £500 on this and if i cant put my msuc or movies on it that makes it a very exspensive web browser, APPLE this should be easier .......! please help - im no techno noob beither grand master, just your average user so im sure people might know what to do... i freakin hope so!

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!
