Music wont upload from iTunes to iPod

When I try and upload songs from itunes to ipod all i get is a message saying "songs on the ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist". Can somebody please offer some advise on what I should be doing to solve this.

  • 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.

  • Music wont download from iTunes to iPod

    iPod has been reset twice and still the music will not download from iTunes to the iPod without freezing iTunes. Music starts to download one or two songs and then software stalls. I need to force quit iTunes many times in order to make the program quit. iPod downloads from other Macs OK.
    tried to download new iTunes and it wouldnt let me as it is same version software.
    Anyone had any similar problems?

    I've been having exactly the same problems...both iTunes and iPod freeze in the middle of updating: I've done numerous restores of iPod, and have the latest iTunes and iPod software.
    Because it's out of warranty, the online repair service calculate a repair at 260 euros (a lot of money in anyone's currency).
    Is this time to get a new iPod, or is there something else to be done, that I haven't tried?

  • Cd music uploaded from itunes to ipods

    I am currently uploading my cds to itunes via my computer. I want to be able to import them to multiple ipods( shuffle and nano). Both my ipods and ipad are synced to this same computer. But only the items I purchased from itunes are being uploaded to my ipod shuffle. All songs, including uploaded CDs uploaded to ipad effortlessly.
    Help.

    Yes, you can drag and drop the files to your device, there isnt any reason you cant copy the mp3 files, the files are simply mp3 files and itunes just creates a database file that the iphones and ipod uses, if you plug a iphone in and unhide all files in windows explorer you will see that the mp3 files are on device hidden in folders. There isnt anything special about itunes files other than the DRM files are a little diffrent than windows files but still any mp3 convertor software can modify them..

  • Purchased Music NOT transferring from ITunes to IPod

    AArgh. I have an older version of IPod (non-clickwheel) with the latest vesion of IPod Software (2.2) installed AND ITunes 6.0 AND I've repaired permissions, restarted, all the common troubleshooting actions taken place.
    My Purchased from ITunes music is not transferring at all to my Ipod. At one point even though I had the latest software I would get a message saying my Ipod Software was out of date , but that's not true.
    ????

    I am having the same problem, but I just got a new 4th generation 20GB because my old one died. So I tried transferring my library onto the new iPod and it won't transfer any of the songs that I bought on iTunes. The error message says that my software is too old, but I just updated it numerous times. What is going on!?!?

  • I need help uploading from iTunes to iPod

    I just received the 60GB iPod for Christmas and I love it! I've figured out how to upload video and music and all that...but I don't want to store these giant video files on my computer just so that I can have them on the iPod. But I'm afraid that if I move them to storage on CD that when I update the Ipod will miss them and remove them from my ipod since they aren't on the playlist.
    I have changed it so that the iPod doesn't automatically update each time I connect it to the computer, but my question is this:
    Is there a way to upload just one file at a time to the iPod without it going back and uploading the entire library each time? Or remove/change what's already on the iPod? Does that make any sense?
    Help!

    Go with a better podcast host.  One that is 100% iTunes compliant like Libsyn.
    Here is a tutorial about podcasting:
    http://traffic.libsyn.com/lilith/podcast101_140311c.pdf
    Chapter 7 goes over creating a libsyn account, setting up your RSS feed and uploading your first episode.
    Chapter 10 goes over submitting your RSS feed to iTunes and Stitcher.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Digitized music not transferring from iTunes to iPod

    I've been transferring and digitizing all my old cassettes onto my computer. It works great and plays fine in iTunes, but it won't load onto the iPod. It's in mp3 format like all the other music on my iPod. Any ideas or suggestions as to what to do to get it to work?

  • Some music not syncing from iTunes to iPod Touch

    I downloaded music from two different artists recently. I created playlists for both. I changed the number ordering on the playlists a bit. And now I no longer have those artist's music on my iPod. I have tried:
    * Restoring original settings
    * Double checked the file types on the music
    * Manually added the music back on to the iPod, then synced
    * Adding ALL of the music library onto my iPod (hoping those artists will be added too)
    Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

    Just a stab:
    The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • Failed upload from itunes to ipod- no explanation

    I loaded a bunch of CD’s into itunes and when I went to sync my ipod, it wouldn’t work like it did a few hours earlier. itunes showed the ipod was there and the dialogue box said it was transferring the songs, but after 15 or 20 minutes, I ejected it and the songs were not on there. usually when it’s synching it tells you number 10 out of 100 or whatever song is loading, but it didn’t come up this time. I tried to consolidate my library, thinking that may help, but it said something about the disk not being there or something but had no error number for me to reference. the usb port works. I restored my ipod and reinstalled itunes and rebooted, but nothing helped. Does anyone know what this is about?

  • Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

    I currently have an iPod Touch.  Have downloaded the most current iTunes.  Have the latest software update for the iPod.  For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod.  Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod.  Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail.  I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so.  Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes??  All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
    So how the heck do I do this??  I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this. 

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching 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 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

    Hope this helps.

  • I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

  • Updating music files from itunes to ipod

    hi,
    i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
    i'm using manually manage my files.
    i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
    but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
    it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
    is this meant to be?
    do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
    thanks for the help

    OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
    First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
    Let's start with that and go from there.

  • I have recently had some music files removed from itunes.  The  originals are still on my ipod.  How do i restore these missing items to my itunes......

    I have recently had some music files removed from itunes.  This was not supposed to happen!  However the originals (consisting largely of playlists) ae still on my ipd and I do not want to do any syncing until I have resolved the issue. Is there any way to  restore these missing tunes from the ipod to my itunes?  Grateful for any input........

    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    NOTE:  Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
