Songs won't update... Really urgent :

I'm using iTunes to put songs on my iPod.
Well, today, I put some songs on my iPod, and everything seems to be OK, and iTunes recognized that the songs are on the iPod, but when I'm trying to find the songs in the iPod, I can't... They're not there, and iTunes still recognizes that the songs are in the iPod.
Please, I need help fast - My brother is going to USA in about five days and I need to put all of his songs in the iPod, and now I'm stuck

I'm having the same problems (I think)... I was updating my iPod with songs, podcasts, and an audiobook. The top bar shows x of x all the way through to the end of the list. Then, I get an "iTunes is dead" message, do I want to send an error report... This happens EVERY TIME I try to update my iPod, since I downloaded both updates (iTunes & iPod) yesterday. I've tried rebooting my computer, and reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't fixed it. Any ideas, please?

Songs won't update. Error message "can not be read from or written to"

Right, so maybe someone can help me.
I've had my Nano since Christmas and have never encountered any problems with it until recently.
Whenever I try and update my iPod (or my husband's for that matter) I get the error message: Attempting to copy to the disk "Gatsby" (name of my iPod) failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
Sometimes one or two songs will work, and then I'll get the message. If I try again another few songs will work and I'll get the message again.
I have tried everything I can think of.
I have tried resetting my iPod. I've tried reinstalling iPod Updater and iTunes. I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried restoring the iPod to factory settings. And I still have the same problem.
I tried calling Apple Support but they weren't able to help me much. So maybe someone here has an idea. PLEASE HELP!
Since I've restored the iPod I no longer have any songs on it. I only have the few that have managed to copy inbetween attempted updates. My poor little iPod is useless until I can fix this problem.
I have iTunes v6.0.4 and iPod Updater v1.1.1 (the update from 2006-03-23)
Please help!
Thanks!
iMac G5 1.8GHz PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I know my operating system is up to date. I know iTunes is up to date. I know iPod Updater is up to date.
I don't think it's a damaged music file, because it doesn't hang on one certain song. It manages to update a few, then I get the error, if I try and update again, it does a few more songs then I get the error again. I've updated dozens of times with the same selection of songs and I've never had a problem.
I tried resetting the iPod. I tried restoring it.
Still hasn't helped.
Someone suggested using fsck from my terminal, but it came back saying everything appeared to be okay. But, my songs are all on my external hard drive, does that make a difference?
It's never seemed to matter before.
I don't know what else to try.
I don't think it's a problem with the iPod itself. My husband's iPod is doing the same thing, which makes me wonder if it isn't my computer, or perhaps a problem with iTunes or the iPod Updater.
I've tried using a different cable, and different ports, but I still have the same problem.
Any ideas?

Songs won't update

I have had my iPod Mini for a few years now and have put around 850 songs on it with 650 MB of space to spare. Today, I ripped a CD into iTunes and then drag-and-dropped the files from my Library onto the iPod. The interface said that they had coppied ("updated"), but when I viewed the iPod contents, the tracks were not there. This was also the case when I unplugged the iPod and tried to find access the songs there.
I went through the montions with the Apple "support" site - both the iPod and iTunes are fully updated - but nothing changed. Nor is hard disk space an issue: the files I was attempting to transfer were only a combined 110 MB. I consider myself a fairly knowledgable person when it comes to computers, but I'm totaally stumped on this one. Any suggestions?

hiya!
it might be worth checking on this one:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Songs won't update...Please Help!

Hello.
I have had my WINDOWS XP Home Edition for about 2 years now and I have never had any problem with iTunes before.
But I recently got a Windows XP Professional Edition Laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705) and I hooked my iPod Mini up to it, put all the songs on there and I realized I had to authorize it to that computer which i havent done yet seeing as how it can't hook up to the internet yet. The only way the songs that I have taken form Cd's onto my iPod mini can play is if the iPod is connected. I couldnt play my purchased songs at all until i authorize it.
So I took it off of that computer, and I then downloaded a song off of the Music Store.
I then tried to update my songs from my desktop to the iPod and a message popped up saying "The iPod "Sarina's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist"
Now I then took my ipod, scrolled through my playlists....they are all still there. They do exist. I then looked at my Playlist on the desktop,and they are all there. the same except for the 2 songs i downloaded that couldnt go onto the iPod mini.
I tried restarting my iPod and it still pops up with the same message.
If anyone has any ideas, it would be so appreciated!

while the ipod is connected and showing up in the source list, go "edit > preferences" and click the "ipod" tab.
you will currently have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected. scroll through the list of playlists beneath that, and compare them with the playlists that you have showing up in in your itunes sourcelist.
if you find any that do not appear in your itunes sourcelist, uncheck them.

UPDATES - Really urgent

Hi,
The scenario is as follows: I have two pages: Page1.jsp and Page2.jsp. In the first one I put outputTexts to show the fields� values of a row in the rowset. I also put a button ("Update") that takes me to the second page where I edit the information. I also have Inline Messages at Page2. At the bottom of Page2.jsp I have the save button.
The problem is when I press save button the inline messages for the integer fields show this message: ""textField1": Conversion error occurred."
The String fields don�t show any msg.
The save button�s code is only this:
    try{
            cabecalhosRowSet.updateRow();
            cabecalhosRowSet.commit();
        } catch (Exception e){
            log("Erro", e);
            error("Erro: "+e);
        return "case1";

I updated my iPod and now my songs won't show?

I plugged in my iPod and it asked if I wanted to update it and I did. After that none of my songs would appear on my iPod, but itunes showed in the left pane that everything was on it. I read another topic with the same problem and I think I need to update my itunes software..however..it won't update because it says I need XP or Vista...I have 2000. I can't go a day without my iPod what do I do?!?

That's the kind of solution I'm interested in, Farias. Who does apple think they are to have me update my iPod and THEN tell me AFTER THE FACT that I need to purchase a new $50 OS if I want to continue using. And when they keep asking me if I want to update they need to give me a link with information about the update so that I fully understand what I'm getting, therefore I'll be absolutely certain whether I want to update at all. This is my second iPod so I've spent well over $450 on them with the iPod and the songs I've purchased from iTunes...I don't just have $50 dollars to go and buy XP because they're under a "contract"...I didn't get any kind of newsletter informing me of that. Apple better find a way to fix my problem without me paying a penny otherwise I'll ask for a Zune for christmas.

Can't update software, iTunes songs won't transfer

I have an older docked iPod (2nd gen, I think). It is running iPod software 2.2. I updated iTunes to the latest version and now my recently downloaded iTunes songs won't transfer to the iPod. I get an error message saying my iPod software is outdated. But I can't get the latest iPod update software to load. I've downloaded it twice now. When I go through the installation program, it shows me the possible destination volumes for the software -- either my iPod or my hard drive. The iPod has a red X next to it, with an error message saying the software can't be installed on a volume that doesn't have OS X 2.8 or higher on it (my Mac is running OS X 10.3.9). If I try to install the iPod software on the hard drive, everything is grayed out and says disabled. I don't know what to do next. How do I update the software so I can transfer my new playlists? Should I downgrade iTunes back to its previous version (if this is even possible?)? Help! Thanks!!

HELP! Shuffle won't update songs

I have been trying to update my shuffle song list but it won't let me. The shuffle recharges and plays ok but won't let me change the song list. I have uninstalled and restalled the IPod & Itunes but that doesn't fix it. Has any one else had this problem and fixed it?

You're not the only one. My son's shuffle is now completely useless- NOTHING will help in anything I have found. He has no songs and no ability for itunes to put anything on it. Try explaining that there's nothing to be done about it (short of buying a CD player and just burning CDs-how 90s!) to an 11-year-old who LOVES music.
My own shuffle won't update and itunes shuts down immediately when I click on the shuffle autofill button.
The obvious culprit? The most recent update of iTunes. I think there's a software glitch, and I'm very upset that the people who wrote this stuff didn't check it out before the autoupdater ruined people's enjoyment of their shuffles. Everything was fine before I updated. GRRR!!!

ITunes 10.6.3 won't update. If I manually download iTunes, will I have to upload my songs again?

My iTunes won't update after it checks for one. It says one is available then accesses the iTunes store and then nothing happens. If I manually download iTunes will I have to upload my music again?

No. Back the music up anyway.

IPod won't update song info

Basically when I add a song onto the iPod, it'll show up normally on iTunes (Song name, artist, album) but on the iPod Touch it will just show SONG NAME - UNKNOWN ARTIST - UNKNOWN ALBUM. This is a new issue, since upgrading iTunes to 10.6 and I have tried changing to No ID3 Tags, but nothing works. It's extremely frustrating. I dunno if it's a iPod issue or an iTunes issue since all my over songs have been updating fine.

Could you let me know when you find out? i'm having the same issue.

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??

ITunes Match won't update on iPhone

Recently, I noticed that iTunes Match on my iPhone won't update my music. I've added some new music to my iTunes and updated iTunes Match on my Mac, but the songs won't appear on my iPhone. I've even tried connecting my phone to my Mac and manually adding the music, but that doesn't work either. I've tried restating the music app, turning iTunes Match off/on, updating Match again on iTunes, etc. Nothing works and it's getting really, really annoying!

Hi fnaber0412,
If you are having issues with your iPhone not updating your music from iTunes Match, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

BIG PROBLEM! My Ipod Shuffle won't update!

I'm having trouble with my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen. Every time I try to update it, it won't update. And when I try to charge it, it will only charge when I'm not using Itunes. I really need my shuffle right now this month because I'm going on important trips and I don't mind listening to the same songs I already have on it but I really would like to have this problem fixed. I barerly got my shuffle 2 months ago, is there anyways I can return it for another one?! Please help!

Several things:
1. Why does it matter if your shuffle charges only when not using iTunes? Is it because you think so, or does it have to do with blinking versus continuous orange LED. Shuffle charges either way...
2. YOu can get an external AC->USB Power Adapter (Apple sells one)

Songs won't erase

I had about 45 songs on my mini that I don't listen to, so I deleted them from my library, but no matter how many times I update the iPod, the songs won't go away. I wouldn't really be too concerned but my memory is running low and I could use this extra space. Thanks for the help.

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. You can at least start updating again from a fresh installation which should help: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
