Hello otwlottie,
So you successfully transferred the music from your iPod to your new iTunes library correct? If so, did you restore your iPod to factory settings after that? Maybe start there for now.

ITunes 11.1 won't let me manually transfer music from my library to my iPod.

I just updated my iTunes to Version 11.1 and installed iOS 7 onto my iPod Touch. I'm trying to manually add all of the music from my library onto my iPod but it won't let me.
- Under the "Summary" tab I have the option "Manually Manage Music & Videos" checked off
- Under the "Music" tab I DO NOT have the option checked off that says "Sync Music"
- Before I upgraded to iOS 7 I deleted all of my music from my iPod and so I have full capacity of storage left on my device
- iTunes says that I have 52.71 GB Free out of 64 GB
- When I try and move any of the music from my library onto my device a red x is highlighted and it won't let me add anything to my device
- I have restarted my computer
- I have re-started my iPod Touch several times
- I tried un-installing iTunes 11.1 and then re-installing it on my PC
- My PC is running Windows 7 64Bit
I've never had this problem before so I don't understand what is wrong

If you had the same problem as me with my iphone 5, then follow these instructions and syncing new music should work.
Whilst in itunes 11.1 click the icon in the top left corner, it gives you options, click 'Add file to library' (ctrl+o) and add the music from your computer to the itunes library.
Once you see the music in your itunes library, drag the songs from your library to the right and an iphone/ipod section should appear and you drop it into your ipod.
Once this is done, click the ipod icon which should be on the right (near the top area) and once on the ipod options, go down and press sync. All the music that you added will appear on your ipod.
Hope this helped, good luck.

New Classic iPod will not restore and can't eject from iTunes.

Hi everybody.
I just bought a new 160 GB Classic a week ago and promptly attached it to my Windows based laptop and installed the newest firmware.
I can add shows and songs to it with no problems, but if I do, I can NOT then eject the iPod from iTunes. It says that it is being used (it's not). The iPod itself says that it is "Synchronizing" despite the fact that I have NOTHING checked to synchronize (I disabled them all).
The only way I can eject at this point is to use the Windows function of "Safely Remove Hardware". However, if I simply connect the iPod to my computer and do NOT do anything with it (ie; transfer a song, etc.) it will allow me to eject.
No matter what, when I connect my iPod to iTunes I can never Restore it. I get Error Message 1418.
When I called Apple Care they had me go and replace it but the second one does the exact same thing.
I am just wondering if any other Windows users are experiencing the same thing before I go crazy.
Again, I have the latest firmware and the latest version of iTunes.
Thanks.

1a. Your PC can read iTunes, but for some strange reason, it just ignores your iPod. You have:
a) Reset the iPod (back to factory settings)
b) Reset the ipod, by flicking the top slider on the iPod on and off, then pressing 'Menu and 'Centre button'
for 6 secondish. let go!
b) Downloaded upto date iTunes onto your pc...
c) spent hours entering all your tracks into your library
....and then nothing!
Works ok on the pc ok, but dead on the ipod.
TRY THE FOLLOWING:
1b. a) Delete iTunes from you 'Control Panel' (click on Add & Remove Software).
Note: Make sure you delete everything to do with the Apple iPod, this is very important. (I just deleted
iTunes,and believe me you will be there for days..get rid of all of it and start a fresh).
b) Reboot your pc...
c) Plug in your iPod....it should now work.
Note: If still not working, try an earlier version of iTunes e.g Ver. 7.4.3.1
READ FIRST:
2a. Somestimes people have problems with iTunes because of the clash with Microsoft Media Player.
a) All you need to do is uninstall Media Player from your PC and reboot your system.
b) Load the Latestest iTunes from the iTune & Apple site http://www.apple.com/itunes/
c) Reboot your PC iTunes, it should now work.
However, like me if you want the best of both worlds and want Media Player, you can re-install Media Player.
Personally I use Ver. 10 - it works ok with iTunes and it has majority of functions as Ver. 11 but without the
registering via redtape as they introduced with ver.11
Note: As long as you install iTunes first and then Media Player you should be ok - Media player has a sub-routine
in its programming to dominate other players - and therefore causes you problems, without telling you why....'Nice One Bill Gates!'
but if say, you have installed iTunes FIRST then for the sub-routine seems to ignore it....strange huh!
Try it....what have you got to lose?

My apple TV will not let me purchase items direct from iTunes and I am logged in. why?

I have nmot been able to rent a movie from my apple TV. I am logged into iTunes. When I try and rent a movie it tells me that I need to varify payment on my computer. I have then rented a movie from my PC but this will not show up on my apple TV, and indeed the "rented Movie" option is not in my movies list. I have the latest version of softeware, 3.02, and have tried resharing the library. No Joy
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you are using the correct location in the Apple TV store settings.
Try changing a few details and changing them back before updating when you verify in iTunes, also check that your details are correct (ie that you have filled the state field out properly and so on)
Rentals don't just show up on the Apple TV when you have rented then on your mac/PC,you need to transfer them.

ITunes 10.5.2 will not let me add files to my iTunes library. What do I do?

Hello,
Ever since I downloaded iTunes 10.5.2, I have been unable to add music files to my iTunes library. Whenever I am browsing for the file and double-click it, I am immediately given the "This program has stopped working... Trying to find a solution to this problem." box.
Any help is appreciated.

Of course not. Reinstall and if the Libraries are in the standard location in your computer (i.e. iTunes placed them and not you), it will immediately find the libraries. Just don't throw away the libraries. You can reinstall over the existing iTunes. BTW never forget to backup your computer.

Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.

Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

Moving music from iTunes library to iPod

I need to find out how to import music from my iTunes music library to my iPod nano. Why is this suddenly such an ordeal. I haven't had any trouble doing this for years until the last few months.

I cannot move a newly purchased song to either my iPod or iPhone. I have been loading up my iPod for years (different iPods, but same procedure) and now I cannot. I have playlists set up but cannot move the music to MY playlists. I did this successfully as recently as three weeks ago. I feel I have tried just about everything. What am I missing?

My iPod will not transfer some of my songs from iTunes

Help! Everything was going good until I updated iTunes with the new version. Then when I tried to sync with my iPod, a message box popped up saying that the sync would not transfer some of my songs because the software in my iPod was too old. So, I downloaded the latest version of the iPod software and insalled it. But I am still not able to transfer some of the songs and am continuing to get the dialog box that says my iPod software is too old.

If you don't still have it on your hard drive (Spotlight is a wonderful thing!), I think you can get it at the top of the page of these threads. Here's a link. Good luck!
