Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).
macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
mac book   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

  • Please help,why cant i download a song in the american itunes store?

    i have wanted this bloody song for ages and now i have found it the bloody site will not let me download it. the song is metalingius by alter bridge and i found it in the american itunes but still can not download it. it is not on the uk itunes list and i dont know why, if it is on the american one why not the uk one?

    This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
    a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
    b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.
    As to why it's in the US iTunes Store and not in the UK iTunes Store, it's undoubtedly because the holders of the UK distribution rights haven't granted Apple the right to sell the track in the UK.

  • Why won't my purchased music transfer into my songs/albums folders?

    I'm using the new format for ITunes for the first time, and have run into an issue. When I purchase songs, they go to my "Playlists" Folder, but when I click on my "songs/albums" folders I just see the picture of the laptop with the options to "Scan for Music" which does nothing, or go to ITunes Store, which does as it says.
    The new layout is a bit confusing to me, but I have tried manually adding a file to my library which doesnt add them, and also going from my Purchased Playlist then clicking "Add To" it will bring up my Songs Folder and I can either select the songs and click Done, or not and click done...the songs folder slides away and nothing at all is transferred.
    I'm a bit confused, why doesnt it simply add them to your normal library as before in addition to "purchased"? Beyond that, what am I missing in getting them into my library?

    And if none of those work, you may want to try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Please help or I jump of the roof because of new itunes and 30gb video ipod

    HI,
    I really need help or the headaches this ... ipod (you know what I was going to say so) anyways, I have this nice 30gig ipod video and was really happy with it until today. I tried to upload some new songs on it with the new itunes 7.0 and it gave me the msg "itunes has detected a ipod that is in recovery mode." or something like that, well it told me to restore the ipod. I did that cause I had my files still on the computer. then I waited for the apple logo on the ipod, worked fine. then when it was finished itunes had the same msg again, you need to restore the ipod. After like five times doing that I stopped and thought maybe the new itunes wasn't good so I installed the older 6.0.5 version, but nothing happened it didn't recognize the ipod.I tried to reset it, to restore it with the updater and that made it even worse. I think I started the updater and then the computer restarted in the middle of the restoration.
    Now the ipod keeps resetting it and I can't do anything. I tried to let it drain the battery but that didn't help, the pc isn't recognizing it at all.
    Now, could someone tell me what the best thing is I could do instead of hitting the **** thing with a hammer?
    I am really frustrated and the support page didn't really help nor did I find any telephone number from apple so I hope that at least someone here can help me get my ipod back to work.
    Otherwise I really have to hit it with a hammer. Is there the possiblity taht if I take out the battery, that it stops and resets normally and can be used again? If so, could then someone tell me how I do that?
    I hope somebody will find the time to help me.
    I thank everybody that might have anything to say to this problem in advance
    sincerely

    I feel your pain... I'm having a problem with downloading and installing new software form my 30gb IPod. ITunes 7.01, which I installed on my new computer, will not allow the updated software for the IPod to install or update the IPod. My IPod disappears from the ITunes playlist column as soon as I try to update the software. Apple has a problem with the IPod software update that they have not yet found a solution for. I am unable to update my IPod with a movie that I purchased. I can play it on ITunes, but it will not show up on my IPod. I also lost some other videos that I already had. I'm just waiting for the "Fix" so that I can update.

  • Downloading my ipod's music into new iTunes library

    I was forced to ghost my computer, and reload the OS, and in doing so obviously lost my original iTunes library. Now iTunes will not load any of my songs that I did not purchase from the iTunes store into my new iTunes library. All of the music I am trying to upload is from my personal CD collection. Is there any way I can transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes library without downloading each CD into iTunes via CD drive? thanks

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Why won't my iPod touch show up in iTunes or Windows, tried ALL the support troubleshooter "fixes"

    Hi:
    I've had this problem since first connecting the Ipod. It won't show in either iTunes nor in Windows explorer/my computer. I've also tried the same 
    setup on Windows 7, same PC a with a dual-boot with XP Pro setup. I've carried aout all the troubleshooting steps suggested here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 & re-installed all necessary software, latest versions.Can't find any conflicts on PC.....anybody got any suggestions?
    BTW iPod is 3rd. generation.

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • Why won't my iPod touch connect to my iTunes on windows 7?

      It has nothing to do with the usb, restarting the computer or ipod, restoring the ipod, or any of that. What else could it be?

    It's not an ipod problem. It connects to my computer and charges, it just won't connect to iTunes.
    I don't have the newer version of iTunes because it won't let me install it. Whenever I try to update my itunes to the newer version this pops up:

  • Why won't my Ipod sync now?  New computer, Windows 7.

    I'm setting up a new Win 7 computer. I copied my itunes folder over and downloaded itunes. Shift-clicked and opened itunes and selected one of my libraries. It shows up fine. However, when I plug in my iPod it does not sync. First time I did it Windows tried to download a driver. I canceled that. I don't think that happened on my first install.
    Thanks for any assistance,

    Hi Don-
    FYI - I have since learned from Microsoft's site that you can only uninstall SP1 if you actually installed it. If it was incorporated into the Windows installation (as mine was) you cannot uninstall it. It does not show up in the list of updates you can uninstall. Anyway, I forget where I stumbled on it, but someone posted that it is a problem related to on-board USB ports and can be remedied by installing a USB card with a VMA chip. Coincidentally, I had just ordered one, as this bare-bones Tiger kit has only 4 rear and 2 front, which is woefully inadequate now that parallel and serial ports have disappeared. From the picture, it appears that it has a VMA chip, so I'll let you know if this works.
