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.

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!

Fonts won't load into Leopard Font Book

My fonts won't load into my font book, but they are loading into the system. I reloaded my OS software hoping it would fix the problem, but it hasn't. Anyone with suggestions on what to do would be greatly apprecitated!!!

My fonts won't load into my font book, but they are loading into the system.
That's kind of contradicting. Are you saying you can manually place the fonts into a Fonts folder and they'll work, but can't be added to Font Book? Or they aren't working at all? If they're Type 1 PostScript fonts, read on.
Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem

The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Ipod won't load into "My Library," HELP!

I was using two Ipods. One was loading music into My Library and the other was loading into a file called "Mark's IPOD." I gave the one of the Ipods away - the one that loaded into the library and deleted the songs out of the library. Now I want my remaining Ipod to download into the library when I hook it up to the computer, but it continues to open a separate file: Mark's Ipod.
I've uninstalled the ipod software and itunes software and reinstalled it, and deleted the files in "My Music," however the problem is still unresolved. Do I need to find a backup file and get rid of that?
Thanks for your help.

Hey,
did you already checked your past purchases? You can try to locate the missing music using the past purchase menu in iTunes Store.
The missing songs should be visible with the cloud symbol. Just click on the cloud and download the songs.
If the music isn't displayed here, maybe it is hidden. You can unhide your purchases in your account information. Please select "Store" > "account" and enter your password. Under the subject "iTunes in the Cloud" you should find a menu "hidden purchases" or something. Unhide the music and you should see it on the past purchases like described.

MP3s Won't Load into iTunes

The other day I bought some mp3s from Amazon (with no DRM). The Amazon download application loaded them straight into iTunes just fine. But I noticed that the application stored the files in a place I didn't like (I like to organize my music myself). So, I removed the songs from iTunes, moved the files to a proper location, adjusted the volume of the songs (so they match the rest of my music), adjusted the artist name in the tags, and then tried to re-load the songs into iTunes. No luck. Now, I can't get iTunes to recognize and load the songs. They are standard mp3 files that I can play with any other application. But iTunes won't load them, not a folder at a time, not one by one, not using "import." Nothing works. Any ideas? I really want to enjoy this new album that I bought.
I tried upgrading to the latest version of iTunes. It didn't help.
Thanks

I have a very similar, if not, the same problem. I got my music from other sources, but they were all standard unprotected mp3s with nothing special at all about them. I load them into iTunes fine, and they play fine. But sometimes iTunes will randomly just not play a song. The album art is lost for the song, and I cannot modify it because in "Get Info" the tab for album artwork just isn't there. Most of the time single songs are not affected, it's usually a whole album that will just stop being playable to iTunes.
The songs also disappear off of my iPod, and if I remove them from my iTunes library (but keep the files) and then add them back, well, they simply do not add back. It's as if iTunes didn't even recognize the files as music files. If I keep the songs in my library and try "Convert Selection to MP3," iTunes gives me a useless "Unknown Error -50"
This happens incredibly rarely, but it has happened to me at least four times in the past year, and the problem has never been fixed. I am convinced that this is just a random failure of iTunes and cannot find any possible explanation for it. It's extremely frustrating because there seems to be any cause at all for this problem to occur.

Won't import into ipod.. urrrghhhh

I have a bunch of songs that I downloaded, and they won't upload into my ipod. They have been changed to AAC's, so that should be ok.. I downloaded about 500 songs at once. They work fine in my itunes library, just won't upload. Ever since i put those in my library, songs that I have BOUGHT from itunes or ripped from my cd's won't upload into my ipod either. can anyone help?
PS - when I click update ipod, it says it has updated. the screen on the ipod still says do not disconnect.

I'm having the same problem. Bought a 30GB video ipod...at first it all worked, did the update for the ipod and itunes....all of a sudden, everything went wrong. Had to uninstall, reinstall, restored the ipod, and now the only music i can put on my ipod are ones that i've ripped from my cd's, anything that i've bought from the music store won't work for some reason. They play in itunes but won't upload into itunes. And when I do put them into the ipod, it says "Itunes has encountered a problem and must close". Very frustrating!!! Help if you can!!! Thanks!!!

Music in Source doesn't load into Ipod mini

I purchased an album, and it shows in the source column as "digital booklet". It doesn't load into my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? What is a digital booklet?

I have no idea what a 'digital booklet' is. However, are you following the steps listed here to transfer the purchased music?

Some songs won't copy to Ipod from Itunes

Hello all,
A bunch of songs won't transfer to my ipod and I can't figure out why...
Exact message: "Some of the items in the Itunes Library, including "..." were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod" Then it says there are "101 problems - see below"
I counted the tracks, there are actually 63. (My library has about 6000 tunes.)
I've recently upgraded to buy the new DRM free songs, but I don't see the connection.
I checked the Kind, Sample Rate, and Bit rate and there doesn't seem to be any differences between these and others.
I converted the songs to mp3-192s, trashed the originals, still won't transfer.
I still have 10GB of space left on my iPod, so it's not a space issue.
Most are songs I purchased in the I-tunes store.
The only thing these songs have in common is that they all were loaded in the same session.
They were on my iPod before I upgraded to 7.2
I'm on a G4 laptop, OS 10.4.9 1.67 PowerPC.
Running I-Tunes 7.2
Video iPod version 1.2.1

I was shocked to see your post. I was just about to paste this new thread:
After updating iPod software to 1.1.3 for my nano 8GB, there are 101 songs that iTunes refuses to sync to the nano, saying:
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Great Escape", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod.
When I use the disclosure triangle to see details, all songs give the same info, for example:
"Multiply" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPod "My iPod".
But these are all just MP3 files. Some, if not all, of them were purchased in the iTunes store, then burned to a standard CD (aiff?), then later reloaded. They've all been played before on this iPod. I still have the original protected song files filed away, and I could pull them out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.
--Scott
Sully, I think it is an odd coincidence that we both have "101 problems". I thought this was an iPod problem at first, but I have reset the iPod and started all over. The problem persists. I think the problem is in iTunes. In my case at least, there seems to be a list of m4p files within iTunes that were on this iPod before, files that i have replaced with regular mp3 files now, and iTunes doesn't want to copy over them. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Some songs won't load onto my iPhone 4 D:

Please, I put about 300 songs in my iphone
they all got sync., but when I want to add some more, they won't ''load'' in it; the little circle isnt fulled like the other songs did. I have enough space in my phone, and I already tried to put away all the songs and put them back. I closed my phone many times, and my computer too. I'm almost raging. help me.

Hello lightninghbolt
Try to remove the tracks from your iPhone by unchecking the Sync Music in the Music Tab within iTunes. You can also Drag and drop the tracks to your iPhone to get them to sync as well. It is also a possibility that you may just need to convert the songs to a different format and sync as well. Check out the articles below for all the steps need to troubleshoot.

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).

Certain songs won't transfer to iPod

Ok, this is bugging the crap outta me.
A few days ago, my iPod Classic kinda went on the fritz. For some reason, the sound became all distorted. So I tried restoring it. That didn't fix the problem. In fact, it made things worse, because after I restored it, it wouldn't update properly. Certain songs wouldn't go, and a message would pop up that said "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I assumed there was something wrong with my iPod, because there had already been something wrong with it. Which there was, and now it's like dead completely.
Anyway, that's not the extremely troubling part, because I had to get that iPod fixed anyway.
The really troubling part is that my dad gave me his old 4GB iPod Nano (3rd generation) to use because he just bought a new iPod Classic. So I try to put my music on this one, and guess what... same thing happens. I erase and restore it, and when I try to put my music on it, there's certain songs that won't go, and that message pops up. No matter how many times I try to put it on, it's just those certain songs that won't go. And I cannot find ANY connection between the songs that lets me know what the problem is. The files are connected just fine, the songs seem completely random... I can't find any common thing between them... bitrate, encoding, length... nothing. And there's nothing distinguishing most of them from the songs that transfer just fine. They're all MP3s. They all play just fine in iTunes, but won't transfer to the iPod.
I'm getting the feeling there's some kind of bug with iTunes 8, because that's the only thing I can think of that changed recently that might be causing this.
Anybody have any answers? I'm desperate.

I've been having the same problem recently- after we downloaded Itunes 8, around the same time we got the new Leopard software, most songs won't sync to my Ipod 3rd gen. And, of course, most of those songs are my favorites.
Have you gotten the answer to this??

          try {
               FileInputStream filein = new FileInputStream(".\\Data\\Aircraft.bin");
               ObjectInputStream objectin = new ObjectInputStream(filein);
               Aircraft craft = (Aircraft) objectin.readObject();
               aircraft.add(craft);

Video won't load on iPod

Just upgraded to 7 with the iPod Updater as well. Now videos won't load on my iPod because they're "not the right format". I'm in desperate need to get these back on since I show clients videos on my iPod. HELP!!
What I've already done is uninstalled iTunes 7 and the Library stems. Reset my iPod. Installed iTunes 6.x. Tried running the previous iPod Updater to no avail. Re-installed 7. Tried, again, re-installing previous iPod Updater to no avail even after trashing the newest updater.
I've been searching the forums for help, but nothing hits on this in particular. What else can I do??? Thanks for your help...
dp1.42 G4 w/ FCP HD 4.5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have almost same problem in which I posted a thread about, and didn't get any answers. My videos show up in my library but won't transfer to my iPod. I get an error message saying: The iPod "Owner's Name iPod" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. Also another one about the disc cannot be read from or written to. I only have 3 videos so I'm not too concerned because I can do without them but it's still a hassle. I am going to keep iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2 for now because that seems to be my only problem at the moment, instead of reverting back to previous versions.

Get Songs Off Computer And Into iPod

Is there a way I can upload the songs on my computer into my iPod without needing them to remain on my computer? I have a 30 gig iPod and a 40 gig hard drive and this could be a problem...LOL

Switch of the sync option in itunes and manually update, i have a similar problem in that my music database is not held on my laptop (where itunes is resident) but rather an ext drive which i don't have plugged in all the time. Therefore I manually manage my music which suits me as some of the music I have I may not necessarily want on my ipod...
