Transferred music from PC to Mac will not load on iPod

I'm new to Mac's--have a G5; I used my iPod as hard disk to transfer my itunes library from a PC to the Mac; this list shows up in the Source list but not as my Library, it's designated with a music note symbol-in blue-with a ejection symbol (like the ejection symbol you see next to my iPod symbol in the source list); I can play the tracks--but am unable to drag tracks to a new playlist or download them to the iPod; I've spent untold hours trying to correct this updating preferences, etc...everything thing I've read so far does not match my scenario---does anyone out there have a suggestion on how I can correc this. I've got approx 500 songs that I am unable to use! Help is much appreciated!

You might consider explaining what "not working" means.

I have songs that have been purchased and they show up in my I tunes but the are not showing up bold like all other songs in my library, they will not let me download from the cloud and will not load onto my ipod.

I have a handfull of songs in my library that are not showing up bold like the other songs. When I click the icon to download from the cloud nothing happens and they will not load onto my ipod. When I look for them in the purchased area they show up as purchased and downloaded.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

My Mac will not load up

I'm actually doing this as a favor for somebody.
The problem is they live in Spain and have powercuts very regularly. They went away for a few days and forgot to turn their mac off.
Now it will not load up properly and displays on a black screen something about DARWIN. I've never come across that sort of problem before but it sounds quite bad.
I advised them to try and use the back up disk, at that time the disk draw would not open.
It was managed after a while, with a bit of gentle manipultion on one of the cogs. The disk was inserted and the 'C' button was pressed at the start up. When it came to choosing the hard disk, there wasn't one to choose.
What it sounds like to me is the hard disk has been damaged quite badly or even destroyed somehow in the powercuts.
The computer is an old flat panel. 800mhz, 60GB hard drive,
256 RAM. I suppose it is going to cost a lot of money to fix it, is it worth just giving up on it and replacing the machine with something else.
The machine was only used for a bit of word processing and web browsing.

There is a nother thread called 'crashed mac" here where the guy has the same problem....not sure of the solution. He might need to boot to a Disk warrior CD and see if that helps. Its a problem i have not hear much about, but this is twice in one week....and if you google it, you will find it even more common...but no real solution that I can find yet.

Music purchased on my Itouch will not load to computer & ipod wont turn on

I have the 1st generation Itouch and my songs purchased on it will not load to my computer. There's also a big problem, the itouch won't even turn on. All I get is the apple screen. I have tried restarting, restoring, taking it in to best buy, pretty much everything. I don't want all my money spent on music to go down the drain. Do you know if there's any way apple will credit my purchased music on my Itouch?

Where did you pay for the music? They're responsible for handling refunds or financial irregularities. If they ripped you off, contact them.
If you used the iTunes Store, they maintain a record of purchases; you would have received a receipt for same in an email.
You mentioned that the music was purchased on the iTouch. How, exactly? Which platform did you use for the transaction? I doubt Apple will credit you for music unless the purchase was made on the iTunes Store.

Safari browser on Mac will not load

MMy Safari will not load telling me to contact Microsoft ?

It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

HT204406 I added music to iTunes but it will not load upto iMatch

I have 3 CDs I loaded in iTunes, but they will not load into iTunes Match so that I can download them on my phone. How should I proceed?

Disconnect the iPod, restart your computer, reconnect your iPod, sync your purchases. Do they now show up on your iPod Nano?

I have song in itunes that will not load onto ipod ?

I have a song in itunes that will not download onto ipod, nothing by song in library indicating there is a problem. Can anyone help me ?

Does the song have a tick-in-the-box next to the song title? (You may have selected to Sync only ticked songs and videos to your iPod. This option is on the Device/Sumary pane that appears when you connect the iPod to iTunes.)
Is the song in a format the iPod can play? (Is it the same format as other songs that do Sync to your iPod?)
Have you looked (on the iPod) under songs as well as artists? (It may show up under songs but not under artists.)
Try the Search facility on the iPod and see if it shows up that way.

How to download previously purchased songs from iTunes to ipad2 without transferring music from an old MAC that is not supported?

You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

Transfering Music from PC to Mac, but music does not appear.

I recently purchased a Macbook for personal use. I wanted to transfer my iTunes from my old Dell desktop onto the new Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Apple site to transfer music from an old computer to a new one using the iPod. Everything worked, until the finale step; I attempted to transfer the iTunes folder from the iPod to the music folder on the Macbook. It seemed to be working, but when I opened iTunes, the music was not there. I restarted the computer and still the music did not appear.
What should I do to fix this problem? Do I need to reformat my iPod from PC to Mac to transfer the music? On the instructions page, it did not say whether I needed to reformat the iPod or not, so I just followed the instructions. Please help if you can.

Yes, and the music trasferred, I can see it in the folder, but it's not displayed in iTunes.

Transfering music from pc to mac using iPod as a hard disk drive

I just got MacBook Pro and iPod which I have formatted for a mac, however, I want to get the songs from my IBM thinkpad to my mac. I transfered a bunch of them with a friends external hard drive, but forgot about all my purchused songs from the music store. I am pretty sure there is a way to use the iPod as a hard disk drive but everytime i attach it to my thinkpad it asks if I want to format the iPod and then won't transfer. So I guess my question is can I do this and if I can do I have to format it to windows and then transfer the files to the iPod and will I be able to put the files from my thinkpad to my mac?
thanks!!!

An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. You can reformat your iPod on Windows if you want to use it on both platforms as Macs can read Windows formatting, then you could enable it for disk use on the PC: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

HT4413 migation from pc to mac will not start

migration from PC to MAC BOOK PRO will not start

Forget the Migration assistant. As you have found out it doesn't work all the time and when it does there are unintended consequences.
There is nothing on your PC that can be used on a Mac. No programs or setting. The only thing that can be used on a Mac from a PC is your personal files. So just copy them to a external drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them off the drive to the Mac hard drive.

When I play my music from my playlist it will not advance to the next song, it just repeats the song over. I have to advance to the next song manually.

When I am playing my music it will not advance to the next song, it just keeps repeating the song. The only way to go to the next song is to do it manually. It just started this after the last update. How do I fix it, hard to listen to at the gym.

Check the song and see if repeat is activated. Down in the bottom left corner is repeat when the music is running. It would have a colored box around it if it is active. It would either read Repeat Song, or Repeat Playlist.

Transfering music from PC to MAC

I would like to know if I can transfer my music from my windows to MAC then onto my iTouch? I need to do this without burning CD's or DVD's. I have to much music to burn the songs...

Choose Consolidate Library from the Advanced menu or the Library section of the File menu in iTunes, find the iTunes library location from the iTunes preferences, and move the folder to the new computer using any method necessary, such as an external drive, optical disks, or a network connection.
