New song downloads not transterring from itunes to ipod

when i download music to itunes it is not transferring to my ipod when i sync.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from under it's Music configuration tab in iTunes? Or do you manually manage the iPod's contents by dragging and dropping songs onto your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.

  • Need help - Songs do not transfer from ITunes to IPod

    I recently upgraded to ITunes 7.2 and although I have acquired new songs in ITunes when I connect my IPod it quickly says IPod update is complete but my new songs do not show up on the IPod.
    I'd rather not start from scratch by doing a restore or some other similar procedure.
    Can anyone offer assistance here? Thanks!

    Are you basing the few that don't get sent to your ipod on the file count? Could there be duplicates? I've noticed that there are some of my movies that don't get sent over but I usually get a warning that they aren't in a compatable format.
    There is an option in either file or edit (can't remember exactly where, I'm at work) but you can filter to show all the duplicates. I've noticed that when I drag files over to be copied to my ipod and there are duplicates, it only does one.
    After you find the culprits, another thing would be to export the file to your desktop. Delete it from iTunes then reimport it making sure of the file format.

  • Some songs do not copy from iTunes to iPod

    This is very frustrating. I have a 5th Generation 60gig iPod. There are about 20,300 songs in my library, none of them from the iTunes store. All legal, all owned by me and I have the CDs to prove it. When I update the iPod all but about 4 or 5 songs copy over. The frustrating thing is there's no way to find out which songs are not copying over to the iPod, so I can't tell if there's a problem with them or what. AppleCare tells me the only way to find out is to visually compare the list on the iPod with the list in iTunes. I have 20,000 songs here and allegedly one of the most powerful computers you can get and I have to compare two nearly identical lists visually?? Oh, by the way I'm running 10.4.6 and the latest version of iTunes and the latest iPod update. This never happened with my 4th Generation iPod. Any thoughts at all of what to do would certainly be appreciated.

  • 10 songs will not copy from iTunes to iPod.

    I have been having a problem when syncing my iPod. At the end of the sync, a dialog box appears, saying 'some of the items in the iTunes library, including "song name", were not be copied to the iPod "iPod name" because they could not be found". In total there are 10 songs that I can not copy to my iPod, they were all purchases off Amazon Music, as I had a voucher for the site at that time. When I initially purchased the songs, they were copied to my iPod without a problem, it is only recently when syncing my iPod that this has occured. If anyone could explain to me how to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful, thank you in advance!

    Hi, zoed0775.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If an exclamation mark next to iTunes media in your library means that either the media is missing from the computer or iTunes is not directed to where the media is located.  Here is an article that will help you locate the missing media.  I have also included a list of icons in iTunes 11 as it will direct you to the best course of action.

  • Some purchased songs are not transferring from itunes to ipod even others from the same album did.

    Originally the songs were only partially downloaded. After completing the downloads to itunes it was suggested to de authorize the computer and then authorize the computer. Still unable to transfer to classic ipod. Even tried resetting ipod.
    Any suggestions?

    yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

  • Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes.  Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing.  Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today.  Help :(

    I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs.  But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips.  The priority for Itunes is set to High.  This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%.  I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem.  Please help...
    If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that?   I'm currently running 10.5

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do I transfer all of my songs from Iphone to itunes as lost everything, some songs are not bought from itunes and have been from borrowed CD's but I really want them in itunes library?

    Hello, Please help as I tunes havent got back to me yet!!
    A couple of months ago, I lost all of my music/itunes etc as my computer needed a complete restore. When it re-installed itunes there was no songs on it at all and would only let me transfer the purchases made on my iphone from itunes back onto my library. The problem I have is that I want to upgrade my phone to the iphone4 but dont want to lose all of the songs on my iphone, some are downloaded from the itunes, most are from CD's that I still own but there are some great songs that I have put on from borrowed CD's or another download company i.e. hmv music downloads and those are the songs it will not let me transfer into the library on my computer so when I get the new phone, I could just sync and they will all be there.
    Please help as I do not want to lose any of my songs
    Thank you

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Song not transferring from itunes to ipod shuffle?

    New songs not syncing to Ipod shuffle.  Getting message on 1 of the 2 songs -"cannot transfer to IPOD because  an unknown error occurred.

    Does the song play properly when you play it in iTunes (on your computer)?
    Was this a download from the iTunes Store?  If not, do a Get Info (in iTunes) on the song.  On the Summary tab of the Info window, what does it say for Kind and Bit Rate?

  • Songs not copying from iTunes to iPod

    I am running iTunes for Windows, version 11.0.4.  I have an 8GB iPod Nano generation 2, with software version 1.1.3 on it.  I can play songs in my library through iTunes with no problem, and I can play any songs that are on my iPod with no problems when using headphones or plugged into an aux jack on my car stereo.  Here are my issues:
    When I attempt to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod, the message "Copying 1 of #: <song name>" in the display (# being the number of sogs I'm trying to copy.)  The problem is, nothing ever happens.  No progress bar, no going onto song 2, nothing.  It just sits there, and the eject button for the iPod shows the sync icon spinning.  I cannot stop the transfer by clicking the X next to the message, it just continues on, doing nothing.  To stop it, I need to click on the eject button, which does eject the iPod.  When I look on the iPod, the one song it said was copying is there.  I can play it and it works fine.  When I plug the iPod back into my PC, I cannot see the songs on the iPod.  They just don't show up.  Turning the sidebar on, I see the iPod connected, but there is no "Music" option listed under it.  In the new view, I can click on the iPod, select "On This iPod" and I see "Music" as a playlist, but there is nothing listed under it.  When I click Autofill, all it does is sit there for a few minutes, saying that it is autofilling the iPod, but only one song shows up on the iPod.
    To try and fix this issue, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also did a Restore iPod.  Neither worked.  I tried plugging my USB cable into a different port.  The only thing I have not tried is a different USB cable, as I don't have one.  Once I get one I can attempt that, but I doubt that's the issue, as iTunes has no problem seeing my iPod, just transfering songs to it.
    Does anybody have any ideas why this may be happening?  The worst part about this is since I did a restore, I now have NO songs on my iPod (except for the 2 that I did manage to copy onto it.)  Thanks in advance for anybody that can help me out!

    For some reason, hooking the iPod up to my wife's machine (which it worked fine on) seems to have done the trick.  When I reattached it to my machine, it updates fine from iTunes.
    Wish I had tried that first before restoring it. 

  • Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod puzzle

    I update my iPod fairly regularly (mostly for podcasts) and I've noticed recently that a small number of songs aren't being transferred to my iPod when I sync it.
    I converted one song that wasn't transferring from an mp3 format to an aac but still no joy. The songs play fine in iTunes and I've tried a manual update in just transferring the one song but that hasn't worked either.
    Any ideas anyone?

    The songs that are not appearing on your ipod, are they from artists that you have multiple songs? If so, I believe I might know the problem. There is a bug, and I will explain it the simplest way I know how to.
    Let's say that I have 3 songs by Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", and "Moby Dick". Now, if I gave "Black Dog" a album title, and I left the other two blank, on your ipod it will skip the album select screen and go straight to "Black Dog", preventing you from selecting the other two. This will also happen if you have 2 songs (let's say "Whole Lotta Love" and "Moby Dick") labeled with the same album title, while your other songs are unlabeled.
    To fix this problem, you must either give another song from the specific artist a different album title from the other labeled ones. Then the ipod will go to the album select screen, and allow you to select "All" which will display all of your labeled and unlabeled songs.
    I hope this helps.

  • Songs not syncing from iTunes to iPod

    I'm in the middle of transferring computers for the fourth time, and each time I run into a different problem. This time, I've successfully transfered my songs from my iPod (5th generation) to iTunes, but I can't sync songs or movies onto my iPod from iTunes. Is this a problem with iTunes or my iPod, and how do I fix it?

    Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos", if there is a check mark there then the iPod is set to update manually and you have to drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod to load them on. If you want to update automatically you need to remove the check mark from there (I would also remove the "enable disk use" check mark unless you want to use the iPod as a removable storage device) and click the Apply button in the right hand corner:

  • Tunes not copying from iTunes to iPod -- frustration

    I have a new iPod, 5th generation 60 gig. I have about 20,000 tunes in my songlist. Four (4) of them will not load into the iPod from iTunes. I have AppleCare on my powerbook, so I called to see what could be done. I was told that I have to manually look through both lists to find which tunes aren't loading. We're talking about 20,000 songs. About 300 pages printed out, single-spaced. Hello? This is exactly the sort of thing computers are for. If there was a way to tell it to compare the lists I'd have my answer in less than a second. It might not be a big deal to the 200 or 300 song user, but I got the big iPod because I want to use it. Anyway, if anyone has any idea of a workaround, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks a ton.

    Again, there's 20,000 tunes and over 4000 artists, most of them doing several tunes. There has to be an easier way than looking through lists. Everything is up to date. The OS, iTunes, the most recent iPod updater, everything. Every file is AAC. If it couldn't find a file it would, I think, say so. The basic issue is that there seems to be nothing built into iTunes to deal with the possibility of this kind of problem and I cannot for a minute believe that I'm the only person who has had something like this happen. And by the way, every file is a legal copy, owned by me.

  • Purchased Music NOT transferring from ITunes to IPod

    AArgh. I have an older version of IPod (non-clickwheel) with the latest vesion of IPod Software (2.2) installed AND ITunes 6.0 AND I've repaired permissions, restarted, all the common troubleshooting actions taken place.
    My Purchased from ITunes music is not transferring at all to my Ipod. At one point even though I had the latest software I would get a message saying my Ipod Software was out of date , but that's not true.
    ????

    I am having the same problem, but I just got a new 4th generation 20GB because my old one died. So I tried transferring my library onto the new iPod and it won't transfer any of the songs that I bought on iTunes. The error message says that my software is too old, but I just updated it numerous times. What is going on!?!?

  • Album art not transfering from iTunes to iPod

    Manually managing my ipod. When copying songs over to the iPod, only about half of the album art that is in my iTunes shows up on the iPod. I deleted all of the music from my 160 and copied it over again to see if it would fix the problem but nothing changed. Some album art comes over, some does not.

    Are you auto-syncing the iPod? If so, when you add artwork to songs in your library the songs should be replaced by iTunes on your next sync. If not, you can force a new copy on your iPod by (a) set your iPod to sync only checked items, (b) un-checking the problem items, (c) re-sync your iPod, (d) re-check the problem items, and (e) re-sync again. But this process should not be necessary if you're on auto-sync -- any tag changes should automatically trigger a replacement of the updated song on your iPod.
    If you're manually managing your iPod, if you update songs in your library the updates will not automatically transfer to your iPod. To do that, you should delete the songs from your iPod which have been updated with artwork in iTunes, then add the updated copies from iTunes back to your iPod.
