Purchased songs wont transfer to Itouch

I just got a new mac and I transferred all my old songs to my new computer and they all transferred to my Itouch fine but the new songs I bought on my mac wont transfer. Any ideas??

Kathy, your purchased music not going on iPod is usually a symptom that your iPod software is not current. The following link will explain how to update your software using the iPod updater. Hope this helps!

Certain songs wont transfer from Itunes to Iphone, telling me to authorize computer and when I do so, it's telling me that computer is already authorized. So why am I not able to tranfer certain songs from itunes to my iphone?

Hello Jfalconi19,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring the apps purchased from the iTunes Store. I recommend following the steps in this article:

Purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmark

purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

My recently purchased songs wont play, popup says unable to locate

my recently purchased songs wont play in itunes, album grafics keep disappearing, pop up says original file could not be found. Also my ipod freezes up when I try to play these songs on it.

Hello musiccc
That means that iTunes cannot find the file to play. The article below will assist with finding the files on your computer. If they are not on your computer, then delete them in iTunes so you can download those purchases again.

Nano skips every purchased song I transfer.

I just bought a Nano 4gb, I've been using Itunes for a couple years.
My problem is that EVERY purchased song I transfer to the Nano won't play. When I try to play an Itunes-purchased song, the Nano displays it for a second, then skips to the next song. This continues until it gets to a standard, unprotected MP3 file from my own collection (also transfered via Itunes). All of the purchased music plays fine within Itunes.
I've tried the 5-r's, reloading Itunes, Ipod updater, unregistering, ect.. No go.
This is extremely frustrating. Help!!

Did you read my post near the top of the thread? I've also experienced this, as have others. Around Thanksgiving (late November for non US iPodders) there was some talk among our user group members. A small handful of us had experienced suddenly not being able to play our iTunes store music and then restoring the ability by simply syncing again. Most of us who had experienced it tended to keep the same playlists for a long time while those who frequently synced were in the minority. I don't know if anyone has actually confirmed that a particular cause of skipping is related to how much time has elapsed since the last sync but it does seem to be a recurring theme. Then again, the mind is a pattern making machine and makes them even when no actual pattern exists.

Hi there,
You may have better luck downloading that track directly to your device. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Purchased music wont transfer to 1st gen ipod shuffle or click wheel ipod

I have read all the posts I can find about this problem and i cant find any solution. My 20 gig iPod wont accept any song that was purchased from the itunes music store and neither will my ipod shuffle 1st generation.
iTunes will display the message your ipod software is too old and I should upgrade. Well I cant. The upgrade button is grayed out so no joy there. This happens with both ipods. I have downloaded the ipod shuffle reset utility (old and the more recent one) and the old ipod reset utility says no firmware found. the new utility says cant get a responce from the ipod.
I erased the shuffle in Disk utility and still wont transfer purchased music.
I am using the most recent versions of quicktime and itunes and I am totally up to date with my apple upgrades.
One final thing. The software version and the serial number of my shuffle both say n/a in the summary tab in itunes.
I am very frustrated by this. I would have thought having a basically new apple computer would mean I would have no issues with this. Any one that can help will be a hero. Thanks

HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.

For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

Purchased songs wont burn to CD

I purchased songs on iTunes and try to burn to CD. It says the songs wont fit on a CD. They are in an ACC file mode and I can't burn in MP3 mode. Can I change the format of the songs?

I tried burning songs purchased from iTunes onto a MP3 CD. I received the message that 27 of the songs (all purchased from iTunes) couldn't burn because they are in AAC format. A friend said to click Advanced and click the option to convert to MP3. Under Advanced, all I found was an option to convert to AAC. The songs are already in ACC! How do I convert these songs to MP3 so I can burn an MP3 CD? Any help is much appreciated!

i have done quite a bit of searching on this forum and i cannot seem to find a recommended solution that i did not already see on the apple support site. which is why i posted. obviously its nearly impossible to look through all the questions to find ALL the listed solutions, so if somebody could offer one that is not already listed on the apple site (since i have already tried all of them), i would really appreciate it.

New Purchased Songs Wont Sync to Ipod

I got a new computer and still had my old ipod so to keep the songs I have from getting erased I authorized my computer for my old ipod and everything was fine. All my purchased songs from my ipod synced onto my library great except for the songs I had loaded from CDs because those only show up on my ipod, but I didn't care so much. Well NOW I purchased 10 new songs from itunes store and they show up and play just fine in my library, but I can't get them to sync onto my ipod ! HELP PLZ !

I forgot to add whenever I ask it to sync it pops up asking me to: erase & sync or transfer purchase songs like I did before so I always transfer purchased songs but it doesn't do anything and im afraid if i select erase and sync it will erase everything...i dont know what to do !

My Most recently purchased songs wont play

So after updating my phone to iOS 6.1, my 3 newest songs wont play. These songs were purchased from iTines so it shouldnt be a licensing or format issue. The song shows up on my phone, but when i press it to play it, it skips to the next song. When i connect my phone to my computer and look under songs on iphone, its not there, but it is in the library. Because its not listed on my phone, i cant delete it to re-download it. Also, look at the attached picture, youll notice the song becuse its grey and has a ring next to it. What does it mean and how can i fix it.

Songs wont transfer to ipod

when i plug in my ipod to my computer, some of the new songs i recently got wont transfer. i tried updating the library and ipod software which didnt help. my ipod got a little little bit wet in the rain, did this do something?

Similar problem. This started a few weeks ago with Itunes upgrades. Itunes and the Ipod act as if synchronizing. The Ipod shows up in Itunes and Itunes says it is transferring songs. When all are transferred the message to disconnect is given on both. However, the line in Itunes showing disk availability is showing a network drive rather than the Ipod and the songs don't transfer to the Ipod. I think it is 5 times now I have used the Ipod updater to go back to factory defaults and uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. Then I connect, it shows the Ipod as connected and transfers the entire library. It then works a couple of times and then starts doing this again.
Ideas?

Nano 4GB - songs wont transfer from itunes

Out of the 500 or songs Ive downloaded, it only puts about 15 of them on the ipod, and in a random order. I have tried to download in every format (WAV, Apple lossless...) I am allowed to. It will accept some files, and others, not. Same kind of file, format, same download, webpage etc. Does anyone know how to do this? I have switched to manual and reloaded it. When I try to drag a playlist, it tells me that it does not understand the file. (((:[

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try playing the songs in iTunes, do they play? Try playing while connected to the internet.
Also, while connected to the internet go to advanced-->deauthorize. Then try playing a purchased song and type in your password and see if they then play on iTunes. If they do then see if they will now sync.
Also, make sure this is updated...

You should have received a email receipt for the purchase. That receipt should say (mine show a link) of how to report problems.
