Songs not transfering from itunes to ipod

I use limewire to downlod music, there is a limewire folder on my itunes source tab, but when I connect my ipod, it only transfers what is in the other folders. Do I have to change a setting or something? I see all of the songs there, just can't get them on the ipod.

  • Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod puzzle

    I update my iPod fairly regularly (mostly for podcasts) and I've noticed recently that a small number of songs aren't being transferred to my iPod when I sync it.
    I converted one song that wasn't transferring from an mp3 format to an aac but still no joy. The songs play fine in iTunes and I've tried a manual update in just transferring the one song but that hasn't worked either.
    Any ideas anyone?

    The songs that are not appearing on your ipod, are they from artists that you have multiple songs? If so, I believe I might know the problem. There is a bug, and I will explain it the simplest way I know how to.
    Let's say that I have 3 songs by Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", and "Moby Dick". Now, if I gave "Black Dog" a album title, and I left the other two blank, on your ipod it will skip the album select screen and go straight to "Black Dog", preventing you from selecting the other two. This will also happen if you have 2 songs (let's say "Whole Lotta Love" and "Moby Dick") labeled with the same album title, while your other songs are unlabeled.
    To fix this problem, you must either give another song from the specific artist a different album title from the other labeled ones. Then the ipod will go to the album select screen, and allow you to select "All" which will display all of your labeled and unlabeled songs.
    I hope this helps.

  • Song not transferring from itunes to ipod shuffle?

    New songs not syncing to Ipod shuffle.  Getting message on 1 of the 2 songs -"cannot transfer to IPOD because  an unknown error occurred.

    Does the song play properly when you play it in iTunes (on your computer)?
    Was this a download from the iTunes Store?  If not, do a Get Info (in iTunes) on the song.  On the Summary tab of the Info window, what does it say for Kind and Bit Rate?

  • Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod

    I just bought a 60GB iPod and set it up with my iTunes that I was formerly using with an iPod mini. I intalled all of the updates for iPod and iTunes and it says everything is transferred but it does not show up on my actual iPod. it takes a long time for the iPod to be recognized and keeps prompting me to register it when it finally is recognized. Getting frustrated here.

    yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

  • Songs not copying from iTunes to iPod

    I am running iTunes for Windows, version 11.0.4.  I have an 8GB iPod Nano generation 2, with software version 1.1.3 on it.  I can play songs in my library through iTunes with no problem, and I can play any songs that are on my iPod with no problems when using headphones or plugged into an aux jack on my car stereo.  Here are my issues:
    When I attempt to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod, the message "Copying 1 of #: <song name>" in the display (# being the number of sogs I'm trying to copy.)  The problem is, nothing ever happens.  No progress bar, no going onto song 2, nothing.  It just sits there, and the eject button for the iPod shows the sync icon spinning.  I cannot stop the transfer by clicking the X next to the message, it just continues on, doing nothing.  To stop it, I need to click on the eject button, which does eject the iPod.  When I look on the iPod, the one song it said was copying is there.  I can play it and it works fine.  When I plug the iPod back into my PC, I cannot see the songs on the iPod.  They just don't show up.  Turning the sidebar on, I see the iPod connected, but there is no "Music" option listed under it.  In the new view, I can click on the iPod, select "On This iPod" and I see "Music" as a playlist, but there is nothing listed under it.  When I click Autofill, all it does is sit there for a few minutes, saying that it is autofilling the iPod, but only one song shows up on the iPod.
    To try and fix this issue, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also did a Restore iPod.  Neither worked.  I tried plugging my USB cable into a different port.  The only thing I have not tried is a different USB cable, as I don't have one.  Once I get one I can attempt that, but I doubt that's the issue, as iTunes has no problem seeing my iPod, just transfering songs to it.
    Does anybody have any ideas why this may be happening?  The worst part about this is since I did a restore, I now have NO songs on my iPod (except for the 2 that I did manage to copy onto it.)  Thanks in advance for anybody that can help me out!

    For some reason, hooking the iPod up to my wife's machine (which it worked fine on) seems to have done the trick.  When I reattached it to my machine, it updates fine from iTunes.
    Wish I had tried that first before restoring it. 

  • Purchased Music NOT transferring from ITunes to IPod

    AArgh. I have an older version of IPod (non-clickwheel) with the latest vesion of IPod Software (2.2) installed AND ITunes 6.0 AND I've repaired permissions, restarted, all the common troubleshooting actions taken place.
    My Purchased from ITunes music is not transferring at all to my Ipod. At one point even though I had the latest software I would get a message saying my Ipod Software was out of date , but that's not true.

    I am having the same problem, but I just got a new 4th generation 20GB because my old one died. So I tried transferring my library onto the new iPod and it won't transfer any of the songs that I bought on iTunes. The error message says that my software is too old, but I just updated it numerous times. What is going on!?!?

  • Songs not syncing from iTunes to iPod

    I'm in the middle of transferring computers for the fourth time, and each time I run into a different problem. This time, I've successfully transfered my songs from my iPod (5th generation) to iTunes, but I can't sync songs or movies onto my iPod from iTunes. Is this a problem with iTunes or my iPod, and how do I fix it?

    Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos", if there is a check mark there then the iPod is set to update manually and you have to drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod to load them on. If you want to update automatically you need to remove the check mark from there (I would also remove the "enable disk use" check mark unless you want to use the iPod as a removable storage device) and click the Apply button in the right hand corner:

  • Album art not transfering from iTunes to iPod

    Manually managing my ipod. When copying songs over to the iPod, only about half of the album art that is in my iTunes shows up on the iPod. I deleted all of the music from my 160 and copied it over again to see if it would fix the problem but nothing changed. Some album art comes over, some does not.

    Are you auto-syncing the iPod? If so, when you add artwork to songs in your library the songs should be replaced by iTunes on your next sync. If not, you can force a new copy on your iPod by (a) set your iPod to sync only checked items, (b) un-checking the problem items, (c) re-sync your iPod, (d) re-check the problem items, and (e) re-sync again. But this process should not be necessary if you're on auto-sync -- any tag changes should automatically trigger a replacement of the updated song on your iPod.
    If you're manually managing your iPod, if you update songs in your library the updates will not automatically transfer to your iPod. To do that, you should delete the songs from your iPod which have been updated with artwork in iTunes, then add the updated copies from iTunes back to your iPod.

  • Apps not transferring from iTunes to iPod

    I tried to find a thread about this but couldn't so here goes:
    I just bought an iPhone and have found a bunch of apps that i downloaded on my computer's iTunes.
    But when I sync my iPhone the apps are not transferred onto the phone. I tried downloading some of them directly from the phone and a message telling me that I already downloaded this app shows up, I can then get it again, but the idea was that I would find them on my mac, and then transfer them to the phone.
    There is no error message during syncing, the apps just don't show up.

    Are you sure that they aren't on another page of your homescreen?
    Page 21 iphone manual:
    "Du kan oprette op til ni skærme. Antallet af prikker over Dock viser, hvor mange
    skærme du har, og hvilken skærm der vises.
    Skifte til en anden hjemmeskærm: Svirp til venstre eller højre, eller tryk til venstre

  • Some purchased songs are not transferring from itunes to ipod even others from the same album did.

    Originally the songs were only partially downloaded. After completing the downloads to itunes it was suggested to de authorize the computer and then authorize the computer. Still unable to transfer to classic ipod. Even tried resetting ipod.
    Any suggestions?

    yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

  • Album art added by myself not transferring from iTunes to iPod

    Hi. I just synced my library to my new iPod and everything is working fine except for some album art issues. The album art that is added by right-clicking in iTunes and choosing 'Get Album Artwork' copies across fine, it's the album art I've added myself that doesn't copy over (where album art would be displayed I just see a large blue musical note.)
    I don't know much about iPods, this is my first one, so following the advice of a friend I've restored the iPod then re-synched it and that hasn't fixed it.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sometimes you have to make sure that each individual song has the artwork attached to it, rather than the album as a whole. Try that on one album to see if it works. In iTunes, right click on a few songs (one at a time) in the albums that are giving you trouble and verify that the artwork is attached to them.
    Also, I've noticed on the new Nanos that you sometimes have to first delete a troublesome album from the Nano, then replace it--unlike earlier iPods (or it might be earlier versions of iTunes) which would actually update that information when you sync.

  • Digitized music not transferring from iTunes to iPod

    I've been transferring and digitizing all my old cassettes onto my computer. It works great and plays fine in iTunes, but it won't load onto the iPod. It's in mp3 format like all the other music on my iPod. Any ideas or suggestions as to what to do to get it to work?

  • I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

    I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
    1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
    2) Erased phone and restored from back up
    3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
    4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
    5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
    6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
    7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
    8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
    9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
    10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
    11)  I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
    After all of these things it is now WORSE!!!  My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out.  My conclusion is i have no clue at this point!  I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!!  PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!! 

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • Not all songs transferred from iTunes to iPod

    iPod touch 3G, intel iMac (Leopard).
    The iTunes library has just been rebuilt with all files present and correct, cover art etc and AFAIK all tunes play OK. (Took ages, but it's all good!)
    1. Removed all songs from iPod
    2. Updated OS to 5.0.1
    3. Synced all music to iPod from iTunes. At the start I got a message saying that "This computer is not authorised to play some songs and they will not be transferred". However the iMac is of course authorised, and all the songs were either bought through iTunes on the iPod and transferred (over the last 2 years) or bought direct to the iMac, or ripped from personal CDs.
    4. Unchecked "sync all songs", switched to "manually manage music" and put them on manually. Same result but without the above message apperaing.
    There's 7503 songs on iTunes and only 7431 on the iPod.
    Two questions:
    Does anyone know why this should be?
    Is there an easy way of finding out which songs are missing? I've checked the ones I remember purchasing on the iPod originally, and they're all there.

    You go to iTunes>file>move folder 2 library then you slect the folder your songs that you downloaded r in and click ok.
    And more you can follow this tutorial about how to tranfer music from computer to iPod.
    Cheer.
