Songs will not update on my ipod!!

I have downloaded songs off ITunes and cds and although i can play them through library on computer they won't transfer over to my Ipod. Also, the do not disconnect message will not go away for as long as I have it plugged into computer. I have updated all new software updates and have settings on automatic not manual. Don't know what else to do....please Help!! Thanks.

hiya!
hmmmm. i was wondering if you had an odd version of the following problem:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
... but if you do, you're not really getting any classic symptoms.
by any chance, is there more than one user account that PC? if so, do any of the other users have their own itunes library? i'm thinking here about odd versions of Fast User Switching issues:
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iTunes for Windows: about Fast User Switching with Windows XP

  • I updated itunes and now my songs will not sync from the computer to ipod

    I just updated my itunes software and my song will not transfer to the ipod. I tryed a new port but tha seems unlikly because itunes does reconize the ipod it just will not update the songs. I restarted the ipod that did not work so i updated the installed software and refreshed the ipod noe I have no songs because it wiped out the ones that were there from the old sync. I have tryed doing a manual update as apposed to the automatic update but that did not work either. I have tryed turning off my anti virus software but that did not work??? any ideas?

    Ive had the same problem and I restored my i-pod then when i hooked up the i-pod it said it was full and asked If I wanted it to select a few songs to put on, i clicked yes thinking It meant it would just put my selected songs on but then it put 675 songs out of the library on when i only have 67 checked. they play wether tehyre checked in the Library or not, is there any way to fix this?

  • HT1386 some music will not sync back to ipod after restoring after update

    i backed up my itunes library to disk prior to updating to OS6 now certain songs will not sync back to ipod even though they were purchased from itunes Help Please

    If the non-syning ones play in iTunes on the coputer:
    Try:
    - 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
    - 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.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Song will not transfer to ipod

    I subscribe to kexp song of the day podcast but the songs will not copy to my ipod. I recieve a message saying "song not copied to ipod because it can not be played on your ipod", with not explanation why it won't work. I also subscribe to anouther podcast with the same station and it transfers just fine. I have update my classic ipod allready. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be helpfull.

    Change the music videos Media Type to Music from under the videos Options tab of the Get Info window in iTunes.

  • I bought a song on my itunes account on my computer but the song is not syncing to my ipod

    I bought a song on my itunes account on my computer but the song will not sync to my ipod. How do I fix this?

    You might try downloading it directly to your iPod from your iTunes purchased list (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • I add songs to itunes, but ipod will not update!

    I imported songs onto my itunes library. But when I plug it in the usb to update, it will automatically disconnect after 5 minutes, and the ipod will not update. I've tried adding all music, and just checked songs; both do not not work.
    I have version 7.0.0.7
    I have about 50% of room left on my ipod.
    Any suggestions??

    Hello Rex225
    The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

  • Installed Itunes: New PC, Windows 7 x64, updated ipod software, click to eject ipod, PC goes to blue screen, dumps data, restarts; songs do not play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • Ipod will not update!!! Error (-50)  HEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!

    im getting kind of the same problem. i got a new computer with vista on it, and i plugged in my ipod with all the songs on it, and i thought if i set it to put all the songs on my computer it would erase the ones currently on it. i started getting alot of errors saying there wasnt enough space on my 8gb nano, which there should have been enough space but since it wasnt deleting the music already on it.
    after trying a few different setting i decided to try the restore button and it said it couldnt restore. so i closed itunes went to computer and into my ipod, enabled it so i could see hidden folders and then deleted all the F1, F2,F3 and so on folders and tried an update and it worked.
    but something really strange then happened in itunes, it was on my purchased playlist instead of having just my purchased music it had three copies of all my purchased music, but there wasnt three files of each. itunes did this on my previous computer but it made new copies of the files.
    it then worked just like it did on my old computer, but i noticed it wasnt working properly went i got all the album artwork and my new purchased music. now i dont really know what to do, do what i did before and delete the music manually or just wait untill the update in a "few weeks"
    i hope this has been helpful to anyone else with similar problems.
