Purchased music will no longer play on iPod only

Has anyone else had this problem with iTunes 6? None of my purchased music wil play on my iPod anymore, I have updated to the latest versions of all the software, iTunes, iPod and QuickTime. I bought music today. As soon as I copied it to my iPod, not only will the new music not play, but nothing I have purchased from iTunes will play anymore. The device simply skips to the next song on the list not from iTunes. No messages or explanation. It simply ignores the files and moves on to the next. All music plays on my computer. This seems to be an iPod problem, and there are no updates to add for it. It only happened after I upgraded to and purchased music from iTunes 6, Any ideas? All suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you for responding. I am using iPod software 2.3 on what I believe is a second generation 15GB iPod, the one with the four buttons below thw screen; the last one before the click wheel version. I think it's the only one they made in 15GB size. Anyway, 2.3 is the most updated software that this model can take. I've noticed from the discussions that many people are having similar problems that vary a bit. I hope Apple is noticing these glitches.

Not All Purchased Music Will Copy To iPod

Some of my purchased music will not copy to my iPod, giving my the "...your computer is not authorized..." message. The "uncopyable" will play on my computer. I've de-authorized and re-authorized this computer. I've reloaded the iTunes software. Any help out there?

Yeah, that happens a lot, but there can be all sorts of fixes for it.
What version iTunes? (itunes > help > about, let it scroll up)
What is the date of the iPod Updater? The newest is 2006-03-23.

Have you played at least a few seconds of a song from the album that won't transfer?

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open up music i purchased on itunes. I started having this problem when I updated my ipod

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
Thanks

I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!

I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store. You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Itunes will no longer import new tunes

i'm using itunes 7.6.2 on an imac running 10.5.2. i've been experiencing a lot of the same problems i've been reading about on here (discs disappear from the finder, cds no longer eject, etc...) but i've been importing new tunes with no trouble at all... until now.
all of a sudden itunes will no longer import anything whether i use file/import or drag and drop. when i use drag and drop the file appears on the playlist in grey for a second and then vanishes. otherwise itunes is playing tracks in my 17,500+ file library with no problem.
anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi
I have a similar problem with importing CD's in iTunes 7.6.2 (9) on 10.5.2. If I have iTunes open and insert a CD then the audio disc mounts on the desktop fine but the second that the disc is recognized in iTunes, the mount on the desktop disappears. No matter if I chose yes or no in the import window the disc also dismounts from within iTunes and the disc is just regarded as having disappeared all together. If I then eject and reinsert the disc everything runs smoothly ... and it is like this every time. I have to insert the disc twice for it to work
If instead I exit iTunes and the insert the disc then there is no problem what so ever. iTunes starts up automatically and I can press the import button to import flawlessly.
Odd behavior if you ask me ...

I have an iPod Nano and I have a new computer. I want to sync my iPod with my new computer. It tells me all of my current music will be erased from my iPod. How do I prevent that from happening?

Iphoto 09' will no longer import the photos from my ipad

Hi,
I have iphoto 09' and it will no longer import photos from my ipad. The ipad is 2nd gen and run ios 7 (it is updated as of Dec. 13'). It says it does not support jpg. files, though it always has before. I have tried using image capture as well as preview, neither works. Image capture and preview say something about an image capture error -9129 or something. I have also tried to bypass completely by copying and drag/dropping onto a USB key and into a desktop folder. Neither of these work either. I have aslo tried using a new library in iphoto and it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks and cheers, Dori

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Happy New Year

IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

Purchased music will not play on iPod after iTunes 6.0.1 (3)

After upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 (3) and then syncing my iPod Photo I can no longer play songs purchased in iTunes on my iPod (cds copied to iTunes play fine). The music (and album art) for the iTunes purchased shows up on the iPod, but the iPod just quickly cycles through any purchased music without playing it - this applies to all purchased music (recently purchased and stuff purchased 9 months ago when I got my iPod). The music plays fine using iTunes on my laptop. I have the latest firmware update on the iPod Photo (1.2).
Any thoughts/help are appreciated.

seems like Apple wants us to illegaly obtain the songs from now on. You know the story about starving musician, poor janitor at studio, well it is not important now.
I am done with being cool, now i want something that will actually work. lets see how long will it take for iTunes update to come accros, and will anyone in Apple say we are sorry guys, we screwed up. hmmm, maybe refund for all the songs you purchased would be fair, you know guys we sold you and told you it will work on your coputer, but look surprise they dont. no, not even crappy explanation, just new update.

Itunes purchased music will not play on Ipod

I have had an Ipod since second generation around 2004. It lasted me until about two weeks ago and i recently bought a new fifth generation. When 7.0 came out my older ipod would not play my purchased music and suddenly started to give me errors(unhappy ipod, and folder). I took it into the genius bar and i was told that the hard drive had died. I think that is a load of hogwash. I was able to "revive" it to only have it die again. The new Ipod has the same problem with the purchased music. I have tried the 5 R's, I have reloaded my library, everything. I thought that possibly if the files were on a shared network it messed it up, but i have unshared everything. Nothing seems to work but reloading the purchased music from a cd that has been burned. I dont want to take the time to do that for over 350 songs. Are there any suggestions from a real Apple tech? And will this be SOLVED?

I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

HT1386 some music will not sync back to ipod after restoring after update

i backed up my itunes library to disk prior to updating to OS6 now certain songs will not sync back to ipod even though they were purchased from itunes Help Please

If the non-syning ones play in iTunes on the coputer:
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.
