Songs I downloaded onto my ipod have transferred to itunes on my laptop but won't play on my device.

Some songs I have purchased from itunes won't play on my ipod but work perfectly on my laptop. Even plugging my ipod into the laptop and syncing it hasn't worked, but the artwork and information for the song still exist on my device. Any ideas?

- 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
- Try deleting from iPod and directly redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- 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.

    Sorry No, if your screen is broken, then you won't be able to unlock your phone.
    You do backup your phone on a regular basis right?

  • HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one.  Tv menu won't let me choose both locations.  How do I correct this?  ITunes Home Sharing is on.  Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Once a song is downloaded onto my ipod (4th gen.) how can I delete it when I no longer want it?

    Once a song has been downloaded onto my ipod nano 4th generation, is there anyway to remove it, deleting it from my ipod? 

    Yes.
    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
    For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab.  You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to the Summary tab over to the right.  Look for the Music tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device.  If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove).  Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • Getting New Songs to Download Onto My iPod from iTunes

    Ok, my computer crashed and I had to download iTunes onto my new one. On my old computer, whenever I added new cds into my iTunes library, all I had to do was plug my iPod into the computer and they would automatically download onto my iPod. On my new computer they aren't and I'm not sure how to get them on there. Any suggestions?

    I plug in my iPod and nothing happens when it normally would update automatically. My friend told me to try pressing the "sync" button under the file menu but that doesnt do anything either. It says "Updating iPod. Do not diconnect" at the top, but it doesnt update anything. I had all my syuff set up on another computer that crashed. I installed iTunes on my new computer and nothing has been the same since. I was able to put all the music off my iPod into the iTunes library thanks to someone on this board. But any new cds or songs I buy won't transfer from the library onto the iPod. Its very frustrating. Basically, I plug in my iPod and NOTHING happens. Thats the problem.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

  • I have an old itunes account and the music won't play on my new account

    I have an old itunes account that I downloaded on my computer about 100 songs. I since then have started a new account and now my old music will not play at all and it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by itunes. What gives? I have over $100 worth of music I cannot access on my own computer?!
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I since then have started a new account
    Why? Just update the info for your old account and continue to use that.
    When you create new accounts, it's highly probable you will run into problems (as you can see).
    it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by iTunes.
    More likely it says that your iTunes account has been locked for security reasons and that you need to contact the iTunes store to unlock it.

  • Song I bought on my iPod shows up in iTunes on my PC but not on my iPod

    I recently bought "Payphone" by Maroon 5. It charged me for the song and everything, but it is not showing up in my Music on my iPod touch 4. When I log into iTunes on the computer, however, it shows up in my library and I can play it and it's completely fine. It's just not showing up on my iPod, no matter how many times I try to redownload it or sync it over and over again.
    I also bought another song afterwards to see if that would download, and it worked fine. I don't know if it's a problem with the song itself, or something.
    If anyone knows how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I had this problem too.
    It is fixed by going into Settings > General > Restrictions. Turn Ratings for to Australia. Then turn off Music & Podcast to Expilcit.
    I know this doesn't make sense as Payphone is supposed to be clean but it works when you now sinc the iTouch.

  • HT204406 iTunes Match songs appear uploaded but won't play on shared devices

    I have songs (ALAC, DRM free) purchased from Bandcamp that refuse to play or download on shared Match devices.  These play fine on my iTunes Match master computer in their original format, and appear to be uploaded/synced to iCloud.
    They are available on my other synced devices (iPhone, mac, windows PC) but whenever I try to play or download I get an error saying the song is not available for download.
    I've tried completeley deleting the music from the library and resyncing.  The songs are recognized by iCloud and added back to my library, but are still not able to play.  Because I know this isn't specific to the mobile device and rather to iCloud directly I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it.
    My only thought would be that they need to be transcoded (the songs aren't available on the iTunes Store), but it has been weeks since they were initially uploaded, and even if I obtained the 320kbps MP3 files from Bandcamp they would still be transcoded to AAC for Match compatibility, so I'm not really sure how to proceed.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am experiencing this issue with iOS 8.1.2.

  • When importing a CD to iTunes which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting format for sound quality?Im unsure if once i save setting for CD import, do i then have to change settings to sync with my ipod?

    When importing a CD to iTunes  which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting for audio quality?  Also once CD is downloaded do i need to change the setting to sync with my ipod?

    I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
    As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
    Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.

  • HT201272 iTunes has taken my money but no song has been downloaded onto my ipod touch or computer, How do I get my song or money back?

    iTunes has taken my money but no song has been downloaded onto my ipod touch or computer, How do I get my song or money back?
    I cannot seem to trace where the purchase went but it money is gone from account and I have no song.
    Please help!

    Starting at the end:
    - When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
    - If the files are not on your device, then:
         -- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
         -- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
    - If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions.  If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

  • HT1386 I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do.  It won't work.

Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.
