Partial songs are copied to the IPod

In my iTunes Library the entire song exists - when the song is synced to the iPod only part of the song is copied. This has happened to quite a few songs (happened during a restore). Does anyone know what causes this and what can be done to fix it?

    My ipod touch seems to have updated on its own, and now I can't access the songs, show a red circle with a red dot in the center.  Computer says the songs are still on the ipod.  Fix?

    I have the same problem. I bought a 3rd party software (tunejack) and it allowed me to transfer my songs to my new pc. Now I can't play them because I am not authorized. It says I am but then it says im not.

  • Songs "not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod"

    After having my ipod stolen i purchased a new Ipod classic. When syncing my music to my ipod i get an error on a number of songs, "not copied to ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod." This did not happen with my old ipod which i purchased just one year prior. Why can these songs not be played on my new ipod?

    "I bought this song on iTunes - wrote the song to CD - made an MP3. Then tried to copy the song (MP3) to my Nano."
    Was there some particular reason you did this? I'm just curious as to why you didn't leave it as an AAC file.
    Do you still have the original downloaded AAC file and does this play on the iPod ok?

  • All my songs are gone from the ipod!! PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!

    Ok.
    So i was putting some new songs on my iPod 20 GB, the one before the colour screen came. the operation hung itself up, for the first time. everything worked well with the ipod when i hooked it off. then i put it on again, and nothing worked. and now there are NO songs on the ipod, BUT i do not believe they are deleted, because both the ipod AND itunes says only 90 MB free space. but when i go on it on my harddrive, and try to check the music files on the ipod, all the folders are in strange chinese-like language, and i can't open anything!
    PLZ, any advice? i CAN'T LOOSE MY MUSIC!! PLZ HELP!!!

    I am really desperate, can't somebody please help?

  • I need help - songs are still on the ipod but dont show up

    my itunes crashed the other day and suddenly all the files on my ipod were gone. now when i connect it, itunes doesnt recognize it anymore, but i can see from the space left info in the finder that the songs are still on there. using ipod viewer, it even loads the songs to a certain point. unfortunately, a message comes up about an error reading the ipod. now my question is, is there any way or program to extract all those files from my ipod or do i really need to restore it?

    yes i did. that was actually what i did when i had my ipod connected to the computer and itunes froze which lead to all my stuff getting deleted. so NEVER do this while your ipod is connected to your computer. thanks for your reply.

  • My computer says my songs are loaded on the ipod, but there isn't anything

    I got an iPod mini for Christmas. I followed the instructions to get everything set up on the computer (I already had iTunes). When I connect my iPod, it says all of the songs are already downloaded to my iPod and the "updates are complete". When I disconnect my iPod, there aren't any songs there. If I scroll through the settings, it says "0 songs", but when I connect my iPod to iTunes, it says there is 11 hours of songs there (I have the songs uploaded to the computer, but I cannot get them onto my iPod).
    I tried to reset my iPod, restore it, reload and update iTunes, everything else that is suggested to fix it. My computer says the songs are on my iPod, but my iPod says there are 0 songs. How do I get the songs loaded?

  • HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer."  My computer is authorized

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong?  I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

  • I know the songs are still on my Ipod, but they wont appear.

    i know that i have my songs loaded on my ipod, because there is only 8 gigs left out of 19 some-odd gigs, but none of the playlists nor the songs show up on the ipod or itunes. my photos are still on, ive installed the ipod updater and new version of itunes, but the songs still wont appear. i dont want to have to delete everything off my ipod because i have songs from other computers on my ipod that i wouldnt be able to get back. any suggestions on what to do?
    ps. ive tried this on both a mac and pc. the problem occurred after i loaded my ipod onto a mac, it would play the songs off the ipod, but when i dissconnected the ipod none of the songs appeared.

    You can try to restore your iPod... But before you do that you should get a 3rd party program like Yamipod to copy everything off of your iPod onto your computer so you wont have to worry about losing music/videos again!

  • When copying a CD, some of the songs are copied as separate albums. How do I get them all into one album?

    When copying some cd's into itunes folder on my computer, some of the songs are copied as separate albums. Please could someone advise how I bring the songs together as one album?

    Hello - thx for reply.
    However, the Steve Maguire article is from 2010. Has Apple a simple solution now eg some way of dragging individual songs to one album cover? I'm not very I.T. literate

  • TS2776 I purchased an Itune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer and Downloaded the book to that Computer. I than tried to sync to my IPod Nano (7). I received an error Message " THe [title] was not copied to the Ipod [name] Becuase you are not au

    I purchasd an ITune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer. After the Download I attempted to Sync and was told that I was synced to a different [something]. It then asked if I wanted to sync to this [Something] I said yes. IT wiped all the stuff off my IPod then gave the following message:
    The [title] was not copied to the iPod [name] becuse you are not authorized for it on this computer.
    How can I get this to work?
    It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
    THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

    Hello LeaMinovitch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • The replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store. Give it a solution to activate the songs on my ipod touch ?

    Hello together, I've a problem with some songs in my playlists on my new ipod touch. The error message says that the replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store. Give it a solution to activate the songs on my ipod touch ?

    Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
    Were the syncing and non-syncing songs purchased with the same account?
    Can you directly download the the songs to the iPod? See:

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

    After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
    AJ

    Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have a iPod Nano, when it is connected to my laptop all my songs and books are there but when it is disconnected from laptop, some books and songs are missing from the library

    I have a iPod Nano, when it is connected to my laptop all my songs and books are there but when it is disconnected from laptop, some books and songs are missing from the library

    I have a simlar issue like this when loading my movies to my iTouch. iTunes says that all of your wanted content is sync and your iPod says that all content wasn't synced, is that what you are saying?
