Restored iPod Classic won't download some songs purchased on iTunes

OK, so I just restored my iPod Classic so it could receive software updates through my new Mac Book. But now a few songs that I purchased from iTunes (all more than a year ago) will not upload to my iPod Classic. Songs that I purchased from iTunes during the past few months appear to have uploaded without a problem.

That didn't help directly, but you got me to sign on to iTunes and, to make a long story short, discover that I actually have two iTunes accounts. I think I signed up for the second one mistakenly when I activated my iPhone. All the songs that wouldn't play, were purchased under the account that wasn't yet authorized on this computer.
So now I have a new question for you. Is there any way for me to merge the two iTunes accounts?

HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song. So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

Used ipod classic won't download music?

I bought a used ipod classic and whenever i try to download a song i bought on my touch to my classic it won't.

How are you trying to put the song onto the Classic?
You cannot transfer it directly from the Touch to the Classic
You cannot download anything from the iTunes Store directly onto the Classic.
You put songs onto the Classic via the iTunes programme on your computer.

Ipod classic won't download music into itunes

When I attach my ipod classic to my computer/itunes, it won't allow me to transfer the music or playlists from my ipod to itunes. However, it allows my itouch to transfer music into itunes.

Your iPod Classic and your iTunes are both functioning normally. You can sync music, videos etc into your iPod Classic from iTunes (as you are) however you cannot do the opposite as you want to do.
There are third party software out there which can make this possible. Do a search on Google and you will run into that third party software.

IPod Classic won't show up in Windows or iTunes?

I've recently gotten an iPod classic, and when I went to sync it to my iTunes, it wouldn't show up in iTunes or Windows. It won't charge either, and my iPod doesn't say it's connected. I plugged in my iPod Touch and my iPhone, and they both synced just fine and were recongized by iTunes. I've tried troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, updating drivers, and even downloading older versions of iTunes, but to no avail. I hooked it up to another computer that was running an older version of iTunes, and it worked perfectly. I don't understand what's wrong, and it's really frustrating me. How do I fix this?

HT201616 Why overtime have I lost some songs purchased on iTunes?

I had some songs from a few years ago that were in my library but not now? Do songs from iTunes expire?

Songs don't expire, if you had them downloaded into your iTunes library then they should still be there unless you'd deleted them. If you mean that they are no longer showing in the cloud for redownloading/streaming then any item (music track, album, film etc) could be removed from the store by the rights-holder at any time, in which case they would no longer show in the cloud (and if you move countries they will also no longer show in the cloud) - in which case do you have a copy of them on your backup of your downloads/library ? You could also check to see if you've hidden them from the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

IPod mini won't accept new song updates from iTunes

I have today tried to update my iPod with a few songs, yet for some reason I have been unable to do so. I have recently downloaded the lastest update for the iPod and have got iTunes 6, so it is not an issue of out of date software.
At first, the error message appearing was that there iTunes could not copy to the hard disk, but now that has changed since i rstored the factory settings to the iTunes message saying that there is no space even though the restoring it deleted all the songs off the iPod. It has shown a message to put on an iPod selection playlist but since it has copied this on, i have found a number of songs unable to fit onto the iPod now despite them being fit on previously.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
P.S. Previously there was a message that loaded up in my system tray saying a particular iTunes file was corrup, yet this has stopped appearing- could this have anything to do with it?

"It has shown a message to put on an iPod selection playlist but since it has copied this on, i have found a number of songs unable to fit onto the iPod now despite them being fit on previously"
It sounds to me like your iTunes library is larger than the storage capacity of your iPod because this is the message you see when that happens. iTunes then asks if you want it to create a playlist of songs from your library and transfer this to your iPod. It appears you said 'yes' to this.
If this is indeed what has happened, then your iPod is now full, and that's why it cannot be updated with more songs.
How large is your iTunes library and what size iPod do you have, the 4GB or the 6GB?

My ipod classic 80GB has stopped syncing songs from my itunes! How do I fix this?!

There has been nothing wrong with my ipod until the recent software update from itunes. Since then I can't sync my library to my ipod. At most at a time I would get one or two songs before the ipod stops and freezes and can't finish syncing. Error code 53 keeps poping up just when it freezes. I have tried restoring the ipod and also resetting it completely but to no avail! I have also tried to manually put my library into my ipod but this does not work either! Is there anyway to fix this or could someone please tell me what's up with my ipod?!

I receive a error when trying to sync some songs purchased from iTunes, song cannot be converted

I have purchased a couple of albums from iTunes and when I sync with my iPod Touch 4G some of the songs don't sync, I receive an error sayting some of the songs cannot be converted?????

If you are in a country that allow redownoads, try deleting the songs and redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The above lists what can be redownloaded in what countries.and says how to redownload.

Receiving and err=-36 when trying to download a song purchased on itunes, any suggestion on how to finish the download?

I keep getting an err=-36 error on a few songs from an albumn I just peurchased on itunes. Any suggestions on how to finish getting the songs?

Thanks for the response...
I thought it might be the AV, but it downloaded about 30 tracks without problem, its only the video that was problematic.
I've tried again tonight and got a security alert that the firewall was blocking it. So I've disabled the firewall and the intrusion prevention, logged out and logged back in, but it still keeps displaying a -3259 error.
Unfortunately its a work laptop, so I can't disable the AV as a whole because its locked down, but as I say, I've downloaded music videos in the past without this issue.
I can't get an iTunes Network Diagnostics report as iTunes shuts down everytime I try to run it.

IPod Classic won't connect - need to restore. What do I do?

I installed the latest iTunes onto my laptop (Windows 8), and now my iPod Classic won't connect to my laptop or iTunes. It's also telling me I need to connect to iTunes to restore it. I can't connect it to iTunes.
When I plug in the USB cord, It starts the iPod in Disk Mode - still no connection. What do I do?!

Hi DanielleGuise!
It sounds like your iTunes installation is not recognizing that your iPod is plugged in, so you will need to address that issue before you can restore the iPod. Here is an article that will help you do this:
