Transferr of songs between ipod and computer

Recently reformatted computer's hard drive, restored Itunes library with no problem. But when I connect ipod, get message that certain songs are in protected wma format and cannot be trandfered. i understand the protective format scenario, but don't understand that if they are in my library why they can't be transferred to the ipod or vice versa. Any suggestions?

iPod cannot play protected wma songs so iTunes will not put them onto it.
iTunes can handle more file types than the iPod itself for various reasons.

  • Syncing between iPod and computer messed up!

    My dad was trying to sync an album onto his nano, but when the songs are imported they come out shuffled in alphabetical order. How can he fix this?

    As long as you sync before you start to listen then the iPod and iTunes will always start playback from the same point.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, 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.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    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.

  • Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer?

    Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer? I was just wondering if my iPod is an adequate back up device for my iTunes files.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The best option is to get an external harddrive for backup. Imagine if your iPod got stolen and your computer crashed. Or your iPod malfunctions when trying to recover music.

    I personally would not of thaught this is possible as bluetooth is essentially just a radio signal, obviously it can transmit data but i dont think it has the ability to stream a broadband connection. Could be completely wrong but thats what i think.
    You are wrong
    Most Nokia phones with a bluetooth interface can let you connect your computer to the Internet using your phone as a modem connected by bluetooth. So, BT definitely can support the data stream.
    Enabling a computer to use the phone's Internet connection over BT or via USB cable is possible with no additional software on the phone. Doing the opposite, allowing the phone to use the computer's Internet connection via BT, requires additional software. GNUBox does just that.

    You can does that plug your iPod somewhere else like the sockets on walls because sometimes the mac is getting less power so it cant give a bit of power to your iPod if it gives the mac will shut down
    If in the socket it doesn't charge get New power adapted if it still doesn't charge get a new USB cable if it still doesn't charge take it to apple :)

  • HT4972 Both my iPod and computer (mac) say that iOS 6.1.5  is the latest software available. I have a 4th generation iPod touch, how do I get it to update to iOS 7?

    Both my iPod and computer (mac) say that iOS 6.1.5  is the latest software available. I have a 4th generation iPod touch, how do I get it to update to iOS 7?

    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Stolen ipod and computer - can I retrieve my songs?

    My computer and ipod were both stolen in a break-in. (I have the serial numbers and the police report number). Is there any way I can retrieve the songs I had on my ipod and put them into the replacement? For example are they stored somewhere on itunes linked to my account?

    Songs which you purchase are downloaded to your computer, there is nothing stored anywhere else on your behalf, all that is kept is a record of your purchases. The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
