New Nano, won't accept purchased songs.

Just bought my wife a new nano, I installed the iTunes 7 update. Her iPod is recognized, but it won't let me click and drag songs to transfer them into her iPod library. It shows up as recognized but won't let me transfer any songs.

Moved i-tunes to new computer, won't sync purchased songs?

I have recently moved my i-tunes library over to a new computer. When I go to update mt i-pod now it doesn't update any purchased music, even though these ar showing in my music library.
Someone please help as some of my most recent and favourite albumns won't update.

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes, or play back one of the purchased songs on your computer; in either case, provide the username and password associated with your iTunes Store account. This needs to be done before any purchased music can be synced from that computer to the iPod.

IPOD NANO WON'T DOWNLOAD PURCHASED SONGS

I have purchased songs from itunes and when i try to put them into my IPOD i get the following message.... Some of the songs in the ITUNES music library icluding the song (songg purchased name) were not copied to the IPOD because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. PLEASE HELP. I am tired of messing with this IPOD. Got it for CHristmas and still can't use it.
Thanks,
CIndy

Pull down the 'Advanced' menu. There should be an entry that says one of two things... either 'Authorize computer...' or 'Deauthorize computer...'
If it say 'Authorize computer...' press it. I don't know what happens after you do that, but I imagine it asks you for your itunes username and password details.
If it doesn't say 'Authorize' and only says 'Deauthorize', then don't click it. If that's the case, I don't know what's wrong.

Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
Hope this helps.

Maybe the Nano you got is defective. Have it replaced.

IPod Nano won't accept new songs

When I try to add new songs to my iPod Nano in iTunes it LOOKS like they get added. I can see them on the iPod, both at the top-level and in whatever playlist I put them in, and I can even PLAY them from the iPod in iTunes.
But once I disconnect the iPod from the PC they're gone from the iPod - they're not in Songs or in any playlist. The only sign that I did anything is that Info shows the amount free space decremented by the size of the songs. So they're taking up space on the iPod but they're not visible.
If I reconnect the iPod to iTunes it doesn't show them either (and it fixes the available space discrepancy, too).
FWIW I currently have 291MB of free space, and 314 songs on my 2GB iPod Nano, PC is Win XP.
Thanks in advance!

> I'm sorry that there doesnt seem to be a better
solution unless the post above applies :)
Reloading the the songs seems like reloading the whole OS on a PC just because one DLL or Registry entry is bad or replacing a car engine because of a blown head gasket.
Right now I have an Ipod with lots of songs on it that plays just fine. It just won't accept new songs. What if I dump everything to my PC, blow-everything-away, and try to reload it and it won't load ANY SONGS? I'm 4000 miles from home, so then I'm really stuck, with no tunes! From an engineering standpoint this approach just doesn't make sense to me. This is my first Apple product - are they all like this (i.e., if something acts up start over from scratch)?
When I have my iPod connectd to my PC I can see all kinds of system files in iPod_Control\Device. Aren't there any diagnostics we can run on those to simply solve the problem?

New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

I must have missed a step. My old windows laptop died. Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch. Didn't work. Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop. Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop. Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library. Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch.
Help!

New nano won't play songs in linear order

The shake to shuffle is turned off in settings and I am not inadvertently selecting shuffle to play. Is there some other setting I've overlooked to turn shuffle off?
Where it is showing up most maddeningly is while playing a three-hour radio program I download. Each hour is a "song" and iTunes sorts them by date/hours 1, 2 &3. I want to listen in order by date and hour. Nano wants me to listen to hour 1 from 5/23/13, random song, hour 3 from 6/10/13, hour 2 from 4/20/13...you get the idea. It happens whether I'm allowing to go to the next song on it's own or if I'm hitting the FF button. I'd be really nuts if I was trying to listen to an audiobook and it was skipping around like this. What am I doing wrong?
New nano is 7th gen 1.0.2.
Thanks.

Delete this post. Figured it out from "more like this" sidebar Q&A. None of those relevent posts showed up when I originally searched or I'd not have posted new. Answer was on pg 21 of the manual, btw.

New computer, nano won't transfer purchased tunes

Just got a new PC, transferred itunes but now the nano will not sync purchased music saying that the ipod is not registered on the new PC.
I've looked on support but there seems to be nothing on how to register ipod on new PC! Any suggestions please?
Cheers

Try getting another hard drive, when one of my computers crashed, i drained its info into another drive, and hooked it up to the new computer, and i didnt lose any information either.

Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
Any ideas how to fix it??

New computer, won't sync some songs

I have a new computer. Launched iTunes, authorized the computer. Thirteen of my purchased songs won't load onto the nano because it says the computer is not authorized to play them. I played each of the songs in iTunes and authorized each individually when asked. They still won't sync--I get the same message. This worked the last time (after a hard drive crash), but it isn't working now. Any advice?

Hello,
First, I want to check to make sure your purchases have all been made with the same iTunes Store account. If you've ever used multiple accounts, then you need to make sure your computer is authorized for the account that was used to purchase that music. You can determine which account was used by right clicking on the file and choosing Get Info. Click on the Summary tab, and in the middle portion of the window, right-hand column, you'll see the iTunes Store account information used to purchase that song.
If the computer has been authorized for that account and it still refuses to let you use those tracks, try the steps in this article:

Nano won't accept my mp3s? Very Baffling

So I got a new nano tonight and hooked it up to the computer. I've been using the iphone for a while now and I'm getting to be pretty good at transferring stuff (not that it's that hard) and so I figured the nano should be a peice of cake. It accepted a podcast and then 4 mp3s, but after that, it decided that's all it's going to take and I simply cannot add more music. I select the files in itunes and drag them over to the nano and they just hang there. they simply refuse to be added, no matter how many times I try. I guess it's possible that I got a dud unit, but does anyone out there have idea what I'm doing wrong, or if there's a way around this? There isn't much point in having a 16 gig player if it can only hold 5 songs, etc.
Thanks in advance for any info anyone may have, I really appreciate it.

Do you have the latest version of iTunes? Did you get those songs off of iTunes, or another source? Don't forget to try the 5 R's in your Nano and see if that helps any: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ipod5gen/#

You need to purchase an newer operating system (at a minimum OS X 10.5.8) so you can use your new nano.

New ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes library

I just purchased a new ipod and when I try to sync my library it will not transfer any purchased songs that are in my library. All the songs are checked and I selected sync all music.

Do these purchased tracks play in iTunes? What other options do you have enabled from under the Summary and Music tabs for your iPod? Are you saying non-iTunes purchased tracks sync okay?

New Nano won't charge - please help!

Hey guys! Hoping you can help me.
Bought a new Nano 4g 2nd generation. I plugged it into my laptop, installed it and put music onto it. When I disconnect it, there is no battery life, even though it was plugged in for hours. I also have an AC adapter, and have plugged it into that, and when I disconnect it, the menu on the screen just disappears and I can't turn it on again.
This is the 2nd time I've bought a brand new iPod that has been faulty out of the box. I've tried the 5 R's and nothing seems to work. I know I may have to send it away to get a new one (shudder) but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, what eventuated?
Many thanks in advance!

Same Problem with one I gave my daughter for Christmas. Purchased online direclty from Apple. What's the fix? DON'T IGNORE THIS ONE GUYS!
