Need help, how to transfer songs from iTune library to ipod??

Hi everyone, I just got my iPod this weekend for my birthday. My friend told me to go to "Lime Wire" to get free songs, so I did and the songs went to my iTunes page.
However, for some reason when I tried to download all the songs to my iPod, only one song popped on my iPod. (Weird)
Anyway, how do you get the songs from the iTunes library
to download to the iPod. What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions,
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there to do what you want, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

    When I  transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem.  Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • Can't find sync option to transfer music from itunes library to ipod?

    No sync option to transfer music from itunes library to ipod (nano).  Ipod shows up in My Computer files, so it has been synced to this computer.

    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How do i transfer songs from itunes to my ipod

    I tried to transfer a song that i bought from the itunes library to my ipod but a message always pops up that says i am not authorized to play it on my computer. what does this mean and how do i put the song on my ipod?

    You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

  • Please help! Deleting songs from itunes library & updating ipod

    Must I keep all albums I wish to upload into my ipod on my computer? I have the ipod settings set to automatic and if I delete the album from the library (completely from my pc) the next time I connect my ipod the album gets deleted from the ipod.
    I tried setting the ipod to manual but then I can't figure out how to update my ipod with the songs I want to add. It really doesn't make sense for me to have to fill up my hard drive with all of this music just to keep the songs on my ipod. I really hope someone can please tell me otherwise.

    If it's on Manual update, you simply drag the songs from the library to the iPod in iTunes.
    If you wan tot remove music, right click on it and select Clear. Do this with the iPod selected not a playlist on the iPod.

  • Upgrading Ipod to touch...able to transfer songs from itunes to new ipod?

    I'm upgrading my ipod to a touch. Will I be able to transfer all of my songs from my library to my new ipod? I guess I was under the assumption that you can only have one ipod synced to your library.

    this may help

  • How to transfer songs from iPhone 4S to iPod Touch 4G

    Hello users of iPhones and iPods etc all over the world...
    My mum recently brought an iPod 4G and wants to transfer her songs from her iPhone 4S to this new iPod. I have spent all afternoon trying to work out how to via iTunes and Apple Support, however there is no use - I have tried backing the iPhone up to my laptop and booting it to the restored iPod Touch, however with 3 attempts all failed. Both devices have the latest iOS, so there is no issue there. One thing is that I'm using Windows 8 Asus X501A, however this should not make any difference from if it was a Windows 7 for that fact.
    I'm usually quite fluent with my iDevices and technology, but have just gone clueless.
    Many thanks

  • Cannot transfer mp4 from iTunes library to iPod

    I have an mp4 that plays fine in my iTunes library, but won't transfer to my iPod, I just get the 'cannot be played on this iPod' message.  I've tried going to Advanced and 'create iPod version' but then I get a movie with just a blank white page.  Any ideas for why this would happen or what I might need to do to
    convert it further (and if so, in clear terms as I'm not very good at that type of thing without explicit directions!)  Thank you!

    hi bklyn baibi!
    poor thing. you've been having a rough time of it with problems lately. my sympathies.
    i reset, restored and did everything i can possibly think of, and now the msg pops up "disk cannot be read or written to". is my hard drive damaged?
    here's a good place to start with that error message. (there are actually a bunch of different things that can be causing it.)
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

  • Can't transfer movie from itunes library onto ipod

    I recently downloaded a movie from itunes onto my laptop. When I tried to manually drag the movie from the library to my ipod i got the following message" The ipod is currently linked to another itunes library. In order to copy the movie to this ipod, you must link this ipod with this itunes library. Doing this will remove 24 tv shows from this ipod. How can I get the movie onto my ipod without erasing the tv shows?

    Make sure "Manually manage Music and videos" box is checked under Summary tab.
    If the box is already checked and you are still not able to drag it over, highlight the video in movie library and go to iTunes menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".  Drag the newly created version over.
