Hello all,was kind of hoping somebody could help me out here.My iPod wouldn't update it's song library to match my pc ie. I couldn't get it to sync.So I did a reset using the latest iTunes,and that worked after many tries,but now I have no songs at all on it,and it still refuses to sync.Keeps giving me an error message "The iPod cannot be updated.The required file cannot be found".Any help would be appreciated.

I get the error message... cannot update iPod, an Unknown error occurred.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • ITunes match songs won't load in iTunes anymore

    I purchased iTunes match a while ago and was very happy with it. Normally, I could just open iTunes on my computer and in a second or two all my songs could be streamed or downloaded. Just today though, when I open iTunes, my songs aren't loading. All of cloud tracks appear as in below. You can't stream or download anything and by the Music tab there is a smal cloud icon that keeps appearing as if it's loading. Is anybody else encountering this same problem?

    I had an issue similar to this.  I think the cause was an interruption in downloading a song from the cloud.  After that, it would not let me download any more.  Resetting the iTunes store cache under Preferences > Advanced, then restarting iTunes seemed to resolve the issue for me.

  • Cant send SMS, app store won't load, + more problems.

    I just upgraded to the iphone 3G yesterday and I'm having NOTHING but problems. No texts I send will go through. The app store won't load. Can't get onto youtube.
    I've done a restore from itunes.
    I've walked through the steps on the support page.
    NOTHING. NADA.
    If I put in a sim card from another phone, I'm then able to send a text message so why not with the new sim card.
    I am beyond frustrated with this. An apple store is about 2+ hours away.
    Anything else I can do?

    Have you tried going to ATT and getting a new SIM?

  • I am trying to sync a library from iTunes onto my iPhone 4s iOS7 however the songs won't load but there is a dotted gray circle around them. Can you explain how to sync my phone to this library please

    I was talking to the Apple support and they said to join a chat. I am trying to sync my iPhone 4s iOS7 to my friend's library but the sync says its goes through (it goes through the six steps of syncing) but none of the songs go onto my iPhone. I put the sidebar on iTunes up and dragged the Music bar onto the bar that says Katie's iPhone. I then clicked down on the drop down for music under Katie's iPhone and the list of songs came up with dotted gray circles next to them. The circles are not filling up so the songs are not downloading on to my phone. Please help me download these songs onto my phone. Thank you

  • Songs won't all sync?

    I have 647.8 GB of memory spare but the latest songs I have added (about ten) won't sync and alll have the dotted circle next to them? Please help, I am going away tomorrow and I need them on my playlist!!!1

    I didn't ever say it was the problem.  I was trying to get more information as to how your iPod was set up to sync.  That might have led to a solution.   Either way, glad to hear you managed to get it figured out!

  • 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.

  • Itunes 7.3.2, libra, and now songs won't load onto my iPod or iPHone

    I'm not sure if Libra is the culprit, but since I updated last night, when I sync my iPod and IPhone no music or movies load.
    I don't want to to to the hour of removing Libra and reconsolidating libraries if that is not the cause. I love Libra, I love being able to have my full library on an external drive and my iPod and only small ones on my laptop...

    If the songs on the iPod are "greyed out" when you look at them through iTunes, it's because you have it set to auto sync. That's why you can't drag and drop.
    If you want to do that, you need to change to manage the content manually.
    "also once the songs are on the ipod, you can't change the text or get the artwork."
    You will be able to edit the songs when you change to manual. However, if you add artwork to the songs on the iPod directly, you will not be able to view it on the iPod.
    Artwork must be added to the songs in iTunes first, then transferred to the iPod.

  • Some songs won't load on my ipod

    I recently loaded some new songs from original CD's but they don't show up on my ipod after I sync up. If I look at the ipod properties it says I have 24 mb of "other" rather than music. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

    24MB of Other is really not a lot. You should not worry about that much. If it gets over like 100MB, then you could Restore.

  • Songs Won't Load on New Ipod

    Got a new Ipod because my old one died. I can't load songs onto it. Here is what happens. When I hook the Ipod up, Itunes sees it and attempts to load the songs. I get a message that says it can't copy some of the songs because they aren't playable on this Ipod. This never happend with the old Ipod. I hit OK. Then I get an error that says "Attempting to copy the disk GREG's IPOD failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)." Any ideas?

    This did help. However, I had to delete the file and just not uncheck it. I changed the preference to download only checked files, but it tried to download it anyway. Any idea why that would happen? Additionally, the "corrupt" file was a podcast. Are podcasets more apt to be "corrupted." This is the first that I have ever used my ipod with podcasts, and I am trying to understand if I should expect more of thest types of problems.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Song won't load from external HD

    Hello,
    I've just copied all my songs and samples (650GB) to an external drive for use on a MB Pro. But when try to load the songs from the external HD, Logic stops at the first sampler instrument load screen and nothing happens.
    Spotlight is also indexing over and over again and never seems to finnish.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    At the risk of becoming repetitive - If you are doing a fresh install, it is often less error-prone to only have the drive you are installing onto connected whilst you install - connect the other(s) afterwards.
    Of course your old drive wouldn't boot into the OS- did you really expect it to? It would have had a load of device drivers (amongst other stuff) from your old system on it.

  • Trying to download purchased music to iPhone.  2 of 20 songs won't load because they "cannot be converted."

    I purchased an album with 20 songs today on iTunes.  I tried to transfer it to my iPhone today via a USB cable.  It downloaded 18 songs, but two of them wouldn't go across because they "cannot be converted."  The files are all AAC, so I'm not sure what to do.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Songs won't load

    Dragging songs from iTunes into LogicExpress8 is usually easy but sometimes a banner appears saying the "file already exists" and will not load the song into Logic. Anyone know why, please?

    Only if you take the iPod into an Apple store.
