Some of my songs in iTunes wont Sync with my iPod, Why?

And what can I do to get them all on there?

What format are they and what iPod are you using? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supportted on the 2nd generation shuffle:

  • My iTunes wont sync with my iPod classic

    "posted in iTunes discussion as well as im not sure if its a problem with iTunes or my iPod*
    A few days ago my iTunes wiped my whole library except my purchases from the iTunes store.
    Luckily i was able to recover my library by using a old library file but ever since then i've not been able to sync my iPod
    When i connect my iPod the iTunes and anything else that is running on my computer goes real slow and i've tried reinstalling iTuns and restoring my iPod but it's still happening.
    When my iPod comes up on iTunes after a while it says "can't be synced.the required folder cannot be found".
    it's also coming up with "attempting to copy to the disk IPOD Ipo" failed.this disk could not be read from or written to."
    any ideas how to fix this?

    still having this problem,any help please?

  • My itunes wont sync with my ipod touch, it comes up with the message -42404

    can someone help please? when i open uo my itunes the message :
    'A required itunes component is not installed. Please re-install itunes (-42404)'
    is shown and i have uninstalled itunes 2 times and re installed it and its still doing the same thing!
    Please if someone could help that would be great x

    Maybe:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • My itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer

    I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

    My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists.  She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2.  The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes.  When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked.  I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to  the ipod touch.  It said:
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
         Waiting for sync to start
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
         Preparing to sync
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
       Waiting for changes to be applied
       Preparing to copy items
    Then nothing.  I can sync again but it just does the same thing.  One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by.  I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said.  The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch.  She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them.  The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work.  I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated.  Still no copy.  She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
    Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo.  Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

    What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    Hey RavenDawn1002,
    If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:

  • Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

    I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
    I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
    Natalie

    I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

  • All songs in iTunes not syncing with ipod

    i have a bunch of songs that i've ripped / downloaded in my itunes account that no matter what i do i can't get it to sync with my ipod...i ripped the cd and it plays fine in itunes but when i look for the songs on my ipod there's only 3 off of the entire cd...any help???

    re download the cd and make sure you put them in your library then make a playlist and try to highlight and drag over to your ipod. Also make sure you have the latest version of itunes and quicktime. This should work.

  • Itunes wont connect with my iPod?

    My itunes program wont connect with my ipod. It will charge it sometimes but after a little bit of time, sometimes the ipod will say that charging is not supported with this accesory.  Also when the ipod does connect in itunes it says that an unknown error has occured when connecting to my iphone. But im connecting an ipod touch. So im really confused and thank you for any help.
    Oh and its a 4th gen ipod touch that is white if that helps. i got it back in november last year.

    I'm also having this problem but it seems only to have occurred once I introduced my iPad Mini to iTunes (this may have been coincidental of course!).  The cable I'm using is the one which came with my iPod Touch version 4.2.1 (bought on the 23rd of July 2010) and the cable still charges the iPod as it always has.  I don't have the luxury of being able to try logging in to iTunes on any other computer but I've tried absolutely everything that has been suggested in the support pages.  I really want to delete some of the music from this iPod but I think I need to be able to sync with iTunes to do so.  Is it just that my 3 year old iPod is just too old for the latest version of iTunes?
    Any suggestions would be most gratefully accepted.
