Purchased songs can't be duplicated into iPod

I purchased some songs from iTMS and they are in my iTunes library and in a folder marked "Purchased" which automatically appeared when the first song was purchased. My problem is when I connect my iPod click wheel to my laptop, the purchased songs were not duplicated into my iPod unlike other songs that I copied from my CDs into my iTunes

It depends on your settings.
Did you set your iPod to automatically update all songs and playlist or update only selected playlists?
If the latter is the case, add the Purchased playlist to it.
You can add your purchases (they are in the Library) to any playlist you want.
Hope this helps.

What? Now those purchased songs can't be made into ringtones?

Well, I buy a lot of music from the iTunes music store, and I have an iPhone. Perfect. Now I can make my own ringtones!
Well, it used to be that way. I made three ringtones about 6 months ago. Recently, however, I began to realize that fewer and fewer of the songs in my library had the ringtone button. What's going on? I even checked the songs that I had already made into a ringtone, and even THEY were missing the button?
A quick check on the iTunes Music Store shows me that many of the albums I have purchased are able to be turned into ringtones. Why, then, can I not do that? I ALREADY BOUGHT THEM, and indeed I already used some of them!
I called apple and was informed that I must repurchase the songs, because they had been "updated." Really? If that is the case, and I must repurchase songs that I have already purchased, just so I can then further purchase 30 seconds of that song for a ringtone, then I quit. If there really is no other way, then I will never buy from iTunes Music Store again. I am a long time Mac customer and music enthusiast, and I will NOT be punished for trying to do things the legal way.
Is there any other way?

Anyone you might have reached on the phone will have no knowledge about the issue; the iTunes Store does not have any telephone support, and the Apple tech support reps have no information about the iTunes Store products or policies.
First, make sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes and that you're connected to the US iTunes Store (look for the My Country link at the bottom of the main iTunes Store page; I presume you are since you say some tracks do show the ringtone icon). If both are correct, you can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Contact page and explain the problem to them. Note that it's entirely possible that the owner of the tracks in question may have withdrawn permission for Apple to sell them as ringtones; such things do happen from time to time.
Good luck.

New purchased songs can not be sync to an existing playlist...

I purchased 2 songs through iTunes' store after I have updated my iPhone to iOS 4.2.1.
There is an existing playlist and 10 tracks are in it.
I just relized, if I add these 2 new songs into this playlist via iPhone (I can see and play these 12 tracks on the phone), and then connect to Mac use iTune to backup, everything is working fine and purchased items will be transferred successfully *except these 2 songs will be removed out from the playlist* (the playlist is showing back to these 10 old tracks)
Tried it many times and all same, never happened this before...
Looks like the new songs can never be added into an existed playlist.
Is anyone facing the same issue?

Hi ,
Reconcilation is for linking the account basically not for populating of attributes.
For this you may have to try activeysnc or bulk load.
IN active Sync you can set the active sync form where the attribute can be set.
In bulk load, you can give the command option , give all the users and then the attributes and values you want to populate.

i want to get old purchased songs and albums back onto my ipod. havent been connected in a couple years. old purchases have a cloud on them and wont let me access them. someone please help!

I have tried that as well. The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there. I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
I only sync playlists and they aren't on there.

How do you get back your purchased songs after you have restored your ipod?

hi my name is meagan i just restored my ipod and all my (purchased songs , videos , etc.) are gone and i just called the apple hot line and they told me this would be the best way and that you guys can help get my purchased songs back this would be greatly appreciated:) please let me know as soon as possible

Hi Meagan,
If you have sync'd / transferred the songs to iTunes prior to the restore (they would be listed under iTunes Store or within your library if so) then you can easily sync these across. If, however, you don't you will need to get in contact with iTunes Store Support so as that they can look at possibly reauthorising a download of them for you.
As an aside, with any purchases you ever make regularly backup and transfer the purchases from your device to your computer. That way you shouldn't lose them

Can't get app into ipod

I have an ipod touch of 2008 vintage and have only now tried to install an app. My ipod software is 1.1.5 and itunes is 10.3.1.55. I have downloaded the app and it appears when I click on "Apps" in Library (in a new wwindow). Yet, when I sync my ipod it doesn't appear on my device - assuming that there should be an icon that represents the app. My daughter who is an avid iPhone user with many apps is also baffeled since she says that I should have a tab for "Apps" on the menu bar that starts with "Summary, Music, Movies..."
How can I get the app onto my iPod Touch?

Apps require at least version 2.0
Apps are not available at al on lower versions.

Can't drag movies into iPod from iTunes

Hi,
I had a problem a while back importing movies that I had compressed (using Handbrake) into iTunes. Once I updated/reinstalled the iPod software it was fine.
Last night I did the same with a couple of episodes of 24- both imported and will play in iTunes but only one can be transferred to my iPod. It says that "This movie cannot be played on an iPod" but the formats of the 2 shows were identical.
This is obviously for my own use so I'm hoping I'm doing nothing illegal.
Any ideas?

Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

How do I download recently purchased songs from my desktop to an IPOD shuffle?

Having trouble downloading recently purchased music from my desktop to an IPOD shuffle. Can anyone help me....step by step?
Thanks

Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if the left-hand sidebar isn't showing then control-S should get it to show) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select the music that you want in the phone's Music app and and sync/apply that selection.
If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you might also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Are you sure that's what it said.

Purchased songs not authorized on computer from ipod

For some reason a pop up comes up that says this computer is not authorized to play purchased songs on ipod. And I choose the option to authorize. It says it is authorized already. After clicking ok it closes then it pops up again. I authorize it again but it keeps popping up. Not sure why since all the songs are purchased through the store.

Change the iPod's drive letter. That has helped several folks.

I know your symptom isn't in that article's list, but try it.
I assume the songs will play in itunes, correct? If you get the evil authorization loop while just trying to play songs in iTunes, there are other things to try. If they just won't go to the ipod, the drive letter change should work.

How many song can you put on your ipod with 16 gb

how many song can you put on a 16 gb ipod

With overhead for the software, the 16GB Nano has 14.88GB useable. I have 1,968 songs on mine, using 9.5GB, leaving 5.4 free. Assuming that all 1,968 songs are approximately the same length and size (which of course they aren't ), that would leave me room for ~1,118 more songs for a total of 3,086 songs.

Recently purchased song and another I transfered into my ITunes library vannot be set up in a playlist.I get the message"file cannot be located".Originally I could listen to the purchased song but now that will no longer play.What do I need to do to ?

Recently purchased a song from ITunes and another that I downloaded from a CD will not transfer to a playlist and will not even allow me to listen to the songs.I get the message "file cannot be located"What can I do to get my system to locate the file?Originally I could play the songs from my desktop and I was able to transfer to my IPad.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...
