My iPod will not Transfer my songs!

I recently replaced my old iPod with a 20 gig color and it won't transfer any songs! I plug it in and it will not do anything! It just turns it on! Someone! HELP! I'm dieing without my music!

Just to make sure I'm attacking the right problem here, let me quickly reiterate what I think is the situation. Please tell me if I'm misunderstanding:
1) Your iPod is on Automatic sync mode (either playlist or all files in library, and either checked or all files transfer).
2) You have at least one file that you see in iTunes (in the playlist if you're using it) and checked that you don't see when trying to use the iPod.
3) If you look at the iPod in iTunes, said song shows up.
Is this all correct? Are ratings and playcounts updating correctly? Assuming you're only syncing checked files, what if you uncheck it and sync? Does it vanish from the iPod as seen by iTunes? What if you then re-check it and sync again? Does it re-appear? Does it show up on the iPod menus then?
If you've done any of these steps, feel free to just give me the answers...I just don't remember seeing.
What it's beginning to sound like to me is that transferring the files to the iPod is working fine, but the iPod's database may be corrupted, in which case, you'd need to restore, which I know you're hesitant to do.

  • IPod Will not Transfer all Songs to iTunes

    The iPod would only transfer some songs to iTunes when I pressed the tranfer purchases button. I lost alot of songs that I can't get back. This is very frustrating!!! Any help?

    so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library?  since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct?  So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer."   Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct?  while having the others on there that wont transfer?

  • My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer.  My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more.  I want my library back on Itunes.  ANy help?

    My Ipod will not transfer songs.  my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it.  When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs.  I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod.  Any help?

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

  • 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!

  • 30 GB Video IPOD will not play the songs...PLEASE HELP!!!

    My 30 GB Video IPOD just stopped playing the songs. You can move easily through the menu, select a song, and press the play button, but the song will not play (the time bar doesn't move at all). It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

  • Ipod does not transfer all songs from itunes

    I have the 80g ipod classic. I have 16,000 songs on itunes. when i go to setting on ipod and go to about it shows that i am missing 13 songs. for a while i was missing 5 songs then 9 songs and now 13.yes i still have room on my ipod for music. I do not have a clue what songs are not being transferred to my ipod. what is causing this and what is the solution.

    yea i guess that could be possable. i guess with 16,000 songs and only 13 did not transfer to ipod i should be happy but this is mac not windows so i would like to think the soft ware would work without flaws.. as for all my dupes i put over 1500 cds in my itunes library. a lot of the cds were various artists etc. that is y i have so many dupes. my imac has a 500g hard drive so i have plenty of space left on my hard drive. i have 2 external hard drives where my music is backed up.i have a 1terrabit lacie that i just use for time machine and a 500g lacie to back up my music and other stuff. iwould never trust my music to be backed up on only 1 external hard drive. if it died my music would be gone forever. thats y i use 2 external hard drives

  • IPod will not load some songs

    I have a few problems with my ipod. Apple just gave me a new ipod to replace the one that was having similar but not exactly the same problems. Its an ipod nano ( black). The problem used to be that the ipod would not update. Now it won't load one of the artists onto my ipod. It says my ipods software is too old. I downloaded the new itunes. Also, under my ipod summary, it says that my software is up to date. So theres a contradiction here. Also the summary says my ipod is formatted for windows. I own a mac. Whats the deal??

    okay so you show plug it into itunes if you dont have it on your computer you can download it here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    when it is pluged in on the left side there will be a device sign and under it will be the ipod drag the song from itunes to the ipod.
    if that does not work there will be a tab called store and under it should be 3 sub tabs called itunes store, itunes match, and purchased
    click purchased and all the song that you have ever bought show be there and just drag the songs you want over.
    let me know if this worked

  • HT1567 When I plug my ipod into my computer I no longer am able to go to itunes and my ipod will not play the songs i recently downloaded.  My ipod has a white screen. At one point i got a message that it was corupted.

    My ipod has a white screen.
    This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen.  What iPod model do you have?
    When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
    At one point i got a message that it was corupted.
    Where and when did this message appear?
