Music wont transfer to Ipod

I put the music files in Itunes and connect my Ipod. it says my Ipod has been updated but no new music has been added. I cant even delete music from my Ipod using Itunes.
Im frustrated and have no idea what I should do. nothing works. I have tried to reinstall Itunes and update my Ipod aswell

Try resetting the ipod by holding the center and menu buttons for 6 to 10 seconds.
If that doesn't work try restoring the ipod with ipod updater 06-28-2006 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

We thought it went through but it didn't. Did you get any answers? Do I need to contact someone else to get my info?

Can ipad download music and transfer to ipod shuffle?

Can ipad download music and transfer to ipod shuffle?

No, you must transfer your music to an iPod Shuffle using iTunes on your computer. Read the instructions on how to sync your particular model of iPod Shuffle.

Purchased music wont transfer to 1st gen ipod shuffle or click wheel ipod

I have read all the posts I can find about this problem and i cant find any solution. My 20 gig iPod wont accept any song that was purchased from the itunes music store and neither will my ipod shuffle 1st generation.
iTunes will display the message your ipod software is too old and I should upgrade. Well I cant. The upgrade button is grayed out so no joy there. This happens with both ipods. I have downloaded the ipod shuffle reset utility (old and the more recent one) and the old ipod reset utility says no firmware found. the new utility says cant get a responce from the ipod.
I erased the shuffle in Disk utility and still wont transfer purchased music.
I am using the most recent versions of quicktime and itunes and I am totally up to date with my apple upgrades.
One final thing. The software version and the serial number of my shuffle both say n/a in the summary tab in itunes.
I am very frustrated by this. I would have thought having a basically new apple computer would mean I would have no issues with this. Any one that can help will be a hero. Thanks

Upgraded to ios 6 and my music wont transfer from iTunes to iPod

I upgraded to ios6 and plugged it into my laptop. I had all of my 4000 songs on iPod before I plugged it into iTunes. I had no problem before and it synced just fine. I had all my music on the iPod Touch. It synced my movies and apps, but won't sync my music. What gives?

Ok so I fixed my problem. It actually, for some weird reason, only loaded one song onto my iPod when I initially synced to iTunes. I was thinking it loaded all of my Apps and Movies FIRST and didn't load my music until last and didn't have enough room (?), (My 64GB iPod was pretty close to full as it was), I suspect, so I told iTunes which movies and apps to NOT load this time (unchecked the ones I didn't want- you don't lose them BTW, just won't load to iPod) and made room for my music.
At least iTunes still had all my music but the iTunes to iPod wouldn't download all my music. So in the screen in iTunes on the tab for music, I told it to erase my library on my iPod, (which was only one song anyway), and then told it to upload my library again and everything was fine.
I think your problem was it didn't complete the software upgrade because the download to your iPod got cut off from WI-FI. Did you upload all of your music to iCloud? Maybe that is the root of your problem. I too tried out the iMatch and didn't like it because I had to have internet connection all the time to be able to listen to my music. I was able to revert back to the original at least. (A waste of $25). I'm sure you still have your music library on your computer in your default music folder: (C:\Users\Andre\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music). So don't worry, it should still be there. The trick now is getting all your music back onto the iPod.
Good luck. Wish I could help you more.

Video wont transfer to iPod Classic

Why is this? It transfered before, then I wiped it and now it wont transfer, saying those videos aren't compatible with this version of iPod.

Hi Peabot,
If you are having issues transfering videos to your iPod Classic, especially videos that have transferred successfully previously, you may want to take a look at the following article:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Songs wont transfer to ipod

when i plug in my ipod to my computer, some of the new songs i recently got wont transfer. i tried updating the library and ipod software which didnt help. my ipod got a little little bit wet in the rain, did this do something?

Similar problem. This started a few weeks ago with Itunes upgrades. Itunes and the Ipod act as if synchronizing. The Ipod shows up in Itunes and Itunes says it is transferring songs. When all are transferred the message to disconnect is given on both. However, the line in Itunes showing disk availability is showing a network drive rather than the Ipod and the songs don't transfer to the Ipod. I think it is 5 times now I have used the Ipod updater to go back to factory defaults and uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. Then I connect, it shows the Ipod as connected and transfers the entire library. It then works a couple of times and then starts doing this again.
Ideas?

Tiny 'I' in a circle-iTunes wont transfer to iPod

OK, weird deal. Only happens on TV shows and Audiobooks that I can tell. Downloads to iTunes fine, shows up in the correct Library folder. But won't transfer to iPod. Did all the 5 'R' stuff. Just noticed that all the stuff that won't transfer has a small icon in the description, a small 'I' in a circle. It's the common denominator, so it's telling me something. The books I have don't tell me, and I've scrolled into these forums for a while without a clue. Help!

I believe the "circle-i" is just the info button. Click on it and a little info about the show/book will appear.
Make sure the books (and other content) play fine in iTunes. Sometimes you have to authorize new stuff.
Not likely, but if you get a lot of store content from other people on your iPod, I think there is a limit to having content from no more than 5 different iTunes accounts on a single iPod. I would think you'd get an error in that case, but maybe not.
As neil said, resetting the warnings should give some clue. But the "circle-i" is a red herring IMHO.

HT1351 I have the latest iTunes, and I synced my iPod several times, but the music wont transfer!

If you haven't already done so, change the update setting for your iPod to manual. If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
After you have your PC sorted out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.

Purchase music wont transfer to itunes

im having an issue where music that i purchase from my iphone wont store into itunes. therefore i can't put it onto my ipod.

Hello SuteraJem
Ensure that you have authorized your iTunes with your Apple ID and then check out the article below to get the purchases that you have made from your iPhone. Check in the iTunes Store and there will be a Purchases section to the right hand side of the screen and then you can see everything that you have purchased with that Apple ID.

Nike Videocast wont transfer to Ipod

I have a new 30 gig ipod. I cannot get the most recent podcasts from the Nike Football Videocast to transfer from my library to my Ipod. The ones that say Channel 10R will not transfer, but all other ones will and work fine. Why or how can I get these to transfer and work. Help is greatly appreciated.

There are optionjs other than the update, check them out as well.
If Update is not available, it means you have the latest software already installed. Try downloading the latest updater, then check again. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
There are ways to get the music back onto your computer, but music from your friends' computers is not rightfully yours. I'm not tyring to judge, jes sayin.

i recently downloaded about 50 songs to my shuffle, went back in about 2 weeks later and the library is empty. then my shuffle is empty. so i cut my losses, buy a new computer and start again. but with 2 songs in my library that wont go onto my shuffle???????? HELP!

CD wont transfer to ipod

The CD's I've recently added to my itunes will not transfer to my iPhone. I've tried changing the importing style to mp3, but still this does not work.

You can't put CDs on the iPod. You can put music you RIPped from CDs but they are songs, not CDs.
Drag the songs to the iPod.
Or make sure they are checked.
Or add them to a playlist and sync that playlist.
