  • How to get songs from itunes to ipod shuffle

    I just seem to be having problems finding anything I download in itunes on my ipod shuffle. I am not techo savy at all!

    If your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, here's how to use the automatic syncing approach, which is often more convenient than the manual method.  You probably need to set up (or update) the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
    Select the shuffle in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync your shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your entire iTunes music library fits on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library (and skip to next paragraph).  Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, create a selection of songs to sync to the shuffle.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, you can create a new regular playlist in iTunes (call it "iPod Songs").  Put all songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist (including those recent downloads).  On the Music tab, find and checkmark that one playlist under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, the selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its existing content.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library, related to the Music tab settings, sync automatically the next time you connect the shuffle, or when you click the Sync button.  So, if you have a playlist with your "iPod songs," just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes syncs the same changes to the shuffle at the next opportunity.

  • "Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

    Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
    I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
    I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
    Thanks for any info.

    Basics from the manual are:
    Restart, reset, restore

    My 6th Gen iPod was working fine this morning but now I get "Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Marc's iPod". I did manage to get it to show up in iTunes but when I tried to move a song from iTunes to my iPod I got a (-61) error and won't copt songs across. I do not have the privileges to make changes
    The iPod shows up on my desk top.

    Hello marky_marc1979,
    Perhaps it would be a good idea to try and reformat the iPod using *Disk Utility*. See this article for instructions on how to do this.

  • Need help getting songs from iTunes to iCloud and to ios devices.

    I just added some CDs onto my iTunes account on my MacBook and they won't transfer to my iPhone or iPad.  The titles of the songs show up on my IOS devices within the Music app but they are grayed out and won't play. I'm using iCloud and Music Match. Hopefully something simple.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    UPDATE - 20 minutes at the Genius Bar and it was resolved.  The tech that helped me out had never seen anything like it before but he and another tech starting looking up stuff on one of the iPads that they have which provides them with solutions to all kinds of problems.  He tried a few things on my Mac and then kept switching pages on his iPad for solutions.  I'm guessing it said "try this and if that doesn't work then go to the next step".  Eventually he got it to work so obviously there is a "fix" out there for issues related to iMatch, iCloud, and the Moutain Lion update. 
    I asked him what all he did to fix it but he said it was too complicated to explain even though it was very simple.  Oh well, rest assured that it can be corrected and hopefully someone will be able to post the fix on here so as to save people trips to an Apple Store.  One last thing, nothing had to be removed or reloaded in my iTunes account.  I hope this helps you out some.

  • CANT GET SONGS FROM ITUNES TO IPOD

    Someone please help me!! I got my ipod for Christmas and while at my parents house over Christmas break and used their computer to put all the cds in sight on it.... well now back at school I am trying to use it on my actual computer and itunes will not let me use my ipod unless I erase the current nearly 2000 songs!! I keep getting a message that asks if I would like to erase all the current songs and set this itunes library as my permanent one. I would really hate to do this, is there any way around it? There has to be something, what about people that use their work computers or laptops and then their home ones. They can’t possibly be deleting all their music, or are you?

    You need to put your Ipod in manual mode so it won't erase the current songs.
    An iPod can only be "associated" with one PC if it is set for automatic update.

  • How do I get songs from my old Ipod onto my Iphone? I have a new apple ID for my phone... Do I need to use my old apple ID to get songs from my Ipod to my Iphone?

    I need help getting songs from my Ipod to my Iphone. I have a different Apple ID on my ipod... I am not sure of that Apple ID. How do I figure that out? How do I get my songs to all be on my Iphone.
    I do not want to repay for songs I have already.

    Are the songs on a computer? Right mouse click on a song and on the summary page it will tell you what AppleID was used to purchase it.
    If you are going to carry on using the same computer then just plug in the iPhone and sync the information there. So you will have a copy on your iPhone and maybe different stuff on your ipod.

  • Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

    I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s.  I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s.  I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
    There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes.  Here's what happens:
    I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR.  Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
    I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
    I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped.  Has anybody else encounted this problem??

    Hi firmflange,
    That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
    If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

  • Can not transffer some songs from itunes to ipod

    I have down loaded some hindi song from net , I am trying to transfer song from itune to ipod but can not can some one help me?

    Are you using a 1st or second generation shuffle and what format are the songs that won't move? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle:

  • Transferring songs from ITunes to IPod Nano

    I have IPod Nano 5th Generation, and the latest IMac operating system.
    Had no problems until today, because yesterday I downloaded the brand new ITunes 11.0 (163). Trying to transfer songs from ITunes to my IPod Nano. Not sure if I should submit this question in the ITunes section or the IPod Nano section, so did both.
    ITunes used to - until today - show my device (IPod Nano and its playlists) on the left side column of ITunes, above the ITunes playlists. So I could just click on a ITunes song on one of the ITunes playlists and drag that song into one of the IPod Nano playlists above it. Now with this new version of ITunes nothing shows up on the left side, so I have no way of dragging songs from ITunes to IPod Nano. An IPod Nano icon does appear on my desktop, but clicking on it or its contents does not show any IPod Nano playlists. I could click on the IPod Nano icon on my desktop and then click on "all files" on top. There is an area that shows all the IPod Nano songs (I think),  but it does not show the IPod Nano playlists.
    1) How do I get the IPod Nano playlists to show?
    2) Please advise how to transfer songs from ITunes to IPod Nano playlists when using this new ITunes 11.0.
    3) If this cannot be done, is there a way for me  to go back and reinstall the previous version of ITunes?

    I don't think the late/great Steve Jobs had this "new and improved" version of ITunes to be so darn frustrating.  It used to be relatively simple to put songs into a playlist or to import purchased songs from ITunes into an Apple device such as the IPOD Nano.  "Simple" used to be the selling point of Apple products.  What happened?  With this new version, I feel like I've got to contact Apple Support to do simple tasks.  It seems like I'm not the only person having this problem.

  • Cant put songs from itunes to ipod

    Cant put songs from itunes to ipod, i have itunes on my computer at my house and i have i tunes on my computer at work.
    It will only let me have songs either from my house or my work not both, if i try to drag the songs into the ipod symbol it wont let me put it in my ipod
    anyone know what the problem is???

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer (As in your case where you have one at home and one you use at work) you can change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists. By doing this, you can listen to your iPod at work where you may have iTunes but no songs or a different set of songs on the computer.
    See these links for more detail:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • How do I download songs from ITunes to IPod?

    How do I download songs from ITunes to IPod?

    Plug the white USB cord into your iPod and the USB side into your computer. Your iPod should come up in iTunes. Then, select either playlists or songs (once you see the screen, you'll figure it out, I'm sure) and sync your iPod. If there is any other specific issue, please outline it for us. Otherwise, that should work.
