Sync Music from PC to iPod Touch

Having synced all my music from my PC to myy iPod Touch, I find that some tracks will not play, in fact whole albums in some cases. In iPlayer, I look at my iPod and see that the tracks that do not play are "greyed out" and have a cross beside them. Why is this and how do I correct this ..?
Any Ideas??
thanks

Hey, I can help you with that. First of all, let me know what iTunes version do you have on your computer. There are two main ways for transfering songs and videos to an iDevice. One is syncing them on iTunes with your Library songs and vids and the other is to do this Manually. First step, plug in your device and open iTunes, in the summary page there are some options you can either check or leave unchecked. There is an option called Manually manage music and videos make sure thats unchecked, then just click on the music button check Sync music and try syncing again. Best of luck

HT1386 Problem Syncing Music from Itunes to Ipod Touch.

I have one music album on Itunes that won't sync with my Ipod touch. I tried deleting it from Itunes and then adding it again. Still not on Ipod. Also, I have several albums in Itunes that the music will sync but the album artwork will not.

Try redownloading them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Sync them to your iPod for an iTunes library using the manual method

Problems with syncing music from PC to Ipod touch 4 G

Hi, added new music to iTunes and then I tried to sync it with my iPod (touch 4g) but I didn't succeed. It seemed that Itunes runs properly showing following information: ”starting synchronization”, “preparing for synchronization”, “establishing programs to synchronize”, “synchronizing” and at end “syncing completed” (ad hoc translation form Polish) but without any result which means no file was transferred, What went wrong? That was my second attempt to sync ipod with PC computer. First one was successful, all files were transferred automatically without any problem. The last thing which I tried to do before second syncing attempt was request for downloading missing covers for albums. Do you have any idea what happened? Thanks for help in advance.

When the instructions say restore from backup the iPod will also be updated.

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

you can't. The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

Can't transfer all of my music from my old iPod Touch to my new one?

Recently I purchased a new iPod Touch to replace my well-used, three-year-old one.
I would like to remove the music from my old iPod to the iTunes library on the computer, and then sync it on to my new iPod.
Most of the music I wanted to transfer was already in the library, so that was easy to do. However, I have roughly 20 songs that are not in my iTunes library, but are on my old iPod. I have tried and tried to get them into the library to transfer them, but I can't do it.
Is this even possible? How would I go about doing it?

Are these songs ones you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, the "Transfer purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes should work. Have you tried that?
If these are not songs from the iTunes Store, you'll need third-party software to get them back into iTunes. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options:

Syncing music from a previous IPOD

I have music in a library on an Itunes account from my previous IPOD nano. I want that same music on my new IPOD Touch. Is it possible to transfer those songs to my IPOD touch? Have been trying and doesn't seem to work. Don't want to have to go through all the cd's again....

How can I transfer all my music from 2nd gen iPod Touch to iPhone 5?

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro (Model MacBookPro2,2) running OS X 10.7.5 and iTunes 10.7 and try to sync, only my recently purchased music is copied to the iPhone. Is there a way to directly transfer ALL my music, currently contained on my 2nd ge neration iPod Touch (running iOS 4.2.1) or my first generation iPad to the iPhone 5?

It needs to be stored on your Mac and in iTunes firs before it can be synced over to your iPhone 5.
If all the content you want to sync to the iPhone 5 are purchases from the iTunes Store, you can redownload them all via iCloud directly from the iPhone assuming you live in a country where iCloud has gone live.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If it's non iTunes store purchased content that is no longer stored in iTunes on your Mac, you'll need to the help of third party software to help you get the job done. See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Syncing data from an old iPod touch with a MacBook without deleting Apps.

I have the first iPod Touch with the old iTunes and since I synced it to a PC computer, that PC computer has crashed and all of my Music, Apps, Videos, etc. are only on my iPod. I now have a MacBook with the new iTunes and I want to sync my iPod but it keeps telling me I have to update the software. Problem is, to do this you have to delete everything and I don't want to delete all my Apps because there are many and I paid for them. Is there a way to transfer my Apps to my new iTunes from my iPod? Thanks!

Follow the instructions in the following article. When your restore from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated. The Mac need OSX 10.6.8 or later since you need iTunes 10.7 or later..

No, you cannot sync music wirelessly.

ITunes wont let me sync music on to my iPod Touch

I open my iTunes and it works fine, but when i connect my iPod (Touch) a message appears saying "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It gives me a choice to "Send Error Report" or "Dont Send".
Ive tried both but nothing happens. It just closes down iTunes.
I havent been able to sync any music or videos etc. to my iPod for at least a month now.
Ive tried uninstalling iTunes, and re-installing it but the same problem happens again and again.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried dozens of times to sync it within the past 2 days and it won't work. It's really frustrating. Help....Please....anyone???
