Songs won't load into ipod nano from new computer.

Load itunes library from old computer. Installed iTunes& authorized new computer. iTunes recognizes my iPod nano (4th generation), but won't load songs when synchronizing.
Any suggestions on how to fix?

I am having a similar problem. I recent reset my iPod as some songs were just skipping during play (they showed on the screen but after a second would just skip to next song), and have been trying to re-sync with no success. I have over 8,000 songs and when I attempt to update songs iTunes puts about 100 or so songs on then stops and states all songs have been updated. When I select update again it adds another 100 or so. Counting to 8,000 is going to take a while!! Don't know what to do...iTunes 5.0.1.4 9/23/2005 firmware. HELP!

Songs won't load into Ipod

I recently started having a problem were no songs I try to upload to my Ipod will actually stay in the Ipod. It tells me it uploads the songs in Itunes and when I look through the artist menu in the ipod, I notice that none of the songs that I uploaded are there. It happens also with podcasts. I have updated the firmware for my ipod and itunes to the latest version and it still happens.

Song won't upload to ipod nano

i uploaded all my songs from itunes onto my nano but it has this screen that keeps popping up saying that one song cannot upload onto the nano. it's not an english song. it's a vietnamese song and the other rest are english. that's the only song that won't go into my nano. can you help me with why it won't transfer? is it because it's not an english song?

I am by no means an expert here, I generally don't have a clue what I'm talking about. However, check the file type/extention (songname.mp3, songname.m4a, songname.m4p, etc) of your song and then look here:
iPod: About compatibe song formats
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61476
If you have a nano (assuming you do since in the "Using your iPod nano" section) and the song is an .m4p file, I am having the exact same problem. I know of a lot of other people with incompatibility issues with .m4p files. If it is an .m4p, I can't help you. I've been hounding Apple and they are not doing anything about the issue. As far as I can tell, the iPod nano canNOT play iTunes files (.m4p).

Transferring iPod Nano to new computer

I own an iPod Nano which is currrent recognized by an iTunes application on my office computer. I am planing to retire soon, so I bought a new computer for home use, and want to use it to download podcasts, audio books (purchased and borrowed from our local library). Currently -- and for the foreseeable future -- I have my iTunes library on a portable Maxtor hard drive, so I can download to a laptop while traveling and not get too far out of date with the newsprogram podcasts I download (e.g., PBS Newshour segments). I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to my Lenovo, but before I do anything I wanted to check on what to do. I particularly concerned about loosing two audio books I borrowed from the library, which download direct to the iPod and not to iTunes, so I don't want to lose them if the iPod is wiped in the process of switching. I know how to point iTunes to the portable hard drive to find the iTunes folder. Any thoughts/tips/warnings?

If you want to copy from your ipod to your new computer, try getting the Yamipod program, found at:

Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

Need help moving music from iPod nano to new computer

I had a computer that had all of my music on it, it was a combination of music I purchased from iTunes, purchased from other places, and that had been transferred from my CDs. That computer died, and the music was lost. My CDs are in storage and I can't put my hands on them easily. All of that music was on my iPod Nano, but when I plug it in it only gives me the option to erase and sync, and I don't want to lose what's on my iPod but I would like to add new music that I've added to iTunes on my new computer to the iPod. Is this even possible?

it 's possible you just have to change your sync option from automatic to manual
the way to do this is the do the following
-open iTunes while ipod is connected
-if you get the message to erase and sync just click cancel
-on the left hand side of the iTunes window click on your device in the devices section
-in the ipod summary page go to the bottom of the page and choose "manually manage music"
-click apply and now any new music you want to sync you just drag the music from the library section and drop it onto the ipod in the devices section in iTunes
hope this helps:)
ps: this is only a temp fix but if you want something more then just a work around just post back

Using iPod Nano with new computer

So I just got a new laptop and want to transfer all of my songs from my old computer to the new one. I hooked my iPod up to the new computer and it says it can only be authorized to one computer and I could sync and erase it. So I hit the button. Now my iPod has 0 songs or playlists on it. I tried following the steps online to transfer the songs from the old computer to the new one, but it didn't really work. Now I am stuck with an iPod with no songs...please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you want to use your iPod to transfer the songs to the new computer, you can check this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Or if you can connect your computers with a crossover network cable, you can directly transfer files, including songs, from your old computer to your new computer.
You may also considering getting some third party programs such as YamiPod to help in this task.

Syncing Ipod Nano to new computer

I have a friend who has a Nano and iTunes and all her music is on her ex-husband's computer. She wants to basically start over... doesn't care if you she loses the music on the Nano. She doesn't even have iTunes on her computer. I will obviously need to install iTunes, but what else will I need to do to get her Nano to sync with her computer?

Install iTunes on her computer and add into it any songs she wants. Then connect the iPod. You will get a notice asking if you want to erase it and sync with the library on this computer. Click 'Erase and Sync'. All previous content will be erased and the new content loaded.
If she would like to retain the previous songs as well it's more complicated. See:

Synching existing iPod Nano with new computer

My old computer died and I need to install the iPod software onto a new machine. I heard that if you plug your iPod into a machine other than the intial one that you started with all songs will be lost.
How do I make sure that when I plug my existing iPod into my new machine NOTHING will be lost? The only place I have these songs are on my iPod and I don't want to lose everyting I have already paid for.
Thanks

switch the preferences for updating to the iPod to manual instead of automatic
when u plug in the ipod and itunes launches it is going to ask you if you want to link the iPod to this itunes SELECT NO... if you select yes then your music will definately be erased from the ipod and your music will go bye bye.. after you do that go thru these options
.:ipod must be plugged in to go through these preferences:.
preferences> ipod> then select manual then hit ok to save the settings
unfortunately you cannot use the itunes to retrieve the music from the iPod back into itunes...
You can use Yamipod to transfer music from iPod to computer.

I connected my iPod to my new computer and only half the songs transfer.

How do i move all the songs that were on my iPod to the new computer?

Are they all from iTunes or CD's? Some of the songs from iTunes may have still DRM on them, and thus, may not transfer.
It may also be a few other items--Windows 7 may have issues with your iTunes, for example--and someone else may have thoughts that I don't right now.
Hang in there...we'll find an answer!

I have a 4 GB Ipod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I leet the anti-virus on my old PC with the iTunes lapse and I think I managed to attract a virus. If I plug my iPod Nano into this old PC, can it also become infested with a virus?

I have a 4GB iPod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I let the anti-virus softwarer lapse on my old PC, the one with my iTunes library on it. Can my iTunes library become affected with this virus?
I have tried to fully charge the iPod but the message screen only displays ""Use iTunes to restore"
Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

Hello Mike,
No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus. As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

ok i have a advent roma laptop with window 7. my itunes used to work fine, completely. every time i plugged in my ipod it was ok. recently my ipod was not working so i never bothered with itunes, however i have movies/tv prog that i purchased and would like to view them. i have an ipod nano from about 5 years ago, the problem with thet is, it switches on, but the circular control panel does nothing, all you can do is lock and unlock it - nothing else.

How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.
iPod mini I was also transferring from mac to PC
