Transferring music from itunes to ipod

Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

Transfering music from itunes to ipod touch

I bought my ipod touch about 8 months ago and I used to transfer music without creating an itunes library and every thing worked OK. I updated my itunes and ipod software about a month ago and I have had nothing but problems. I now use an itunes library and transfer my music from it to my ipod. I just recently updated to the latest software and firmware and now I can't move any music from the library to the ipod. I drag the song from the library to my device and let it go and it flashes a couple of times and that is it, nothing else. Does anyone know what is going on? Help!

There is a problem with itunes or maybe ios7. Most user can's transfer their music on any ios devices.
I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it with no luck. As usual..... apple will wake up and fix this issue.
It sounds weird but every time apple releases new major upgrades there is always a BUG that ****** off users like you and I. But there is always a fix at the corner.

Problems with transferring music from itunes to ipod

Hello, I've never had problems with iTunes but this issue amazes me! I emptied my whole iTunes Library the other day, and added a whole load of new songs. Then, when I was finished with my selection I connected my iPod Nano to USB portal at my pc. iTunes recognised the iPod and also said: bijwerken.. niet loskoppelen (moving files, don't disconnect). This takes 2 seconds and then it says the iPod is ready with transferring files.
Then I notice that no files where moved at all. My iPod is empty for two days now and It's killing me !! hehe, please help ?!

I'm not sure if this is what you are after but Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
You'll also find instructions here on uninstalling iTunes: Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes</a
I hope these are of some help, take care.

Transferring music from Itunes to Ipod Classic

I have an Ipod Classic with about 4,000 songs on it. If I sync my Ipod with my Itunes on my desktop, will I lose the songs already on my Ipod? Please help, I've been trying to figure this out for a long time. Also, do I need something like Media Widget to transfer music between Ipod and my desktop?

Instead of syncing your iPod automatically, change your settings to manually manage music on your iPod. Then just drag and drop the new music onto your iPod. That way you won't erase all of the music that is currently on your iPod.

Downloaded the new version of Itunes 11.0.2 (I think?) and now I cannot send purchased Itunes music to my Ipod classic (2009) bought in 2012.

Plug the device in and sync as you would do in any previous version of iTunes.
If there are issues, provide specifics if what is or is not happening.

HT1373 transferring music from itunes to new ipod

hi, trying to transfer my purchased music from itunes to my ipod. just downloaded itunes 11 and using a new ipod. in the past with itunes 9, my devise appreared in the informaiton bar and i was able to drag music into it. with this new version, i dont see my devise, and not sure how to get my music on there.

First things first do you have the menu bar on? Second, have you tried plugging the usb into a different port? ALSO once device is seen in itunes, go to the summary tab & click manage music manually. You should still be able to click & drag.

Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

I currently have an iPod Touch. Have downloaded the most current iTunes. Have the latest software update for the iPod. For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod. Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod. Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail. I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so. Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes?? All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
So how the heck do I do this?? I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this.

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

Difficulty transferring songs from itunes to ipod

Hi
I have been using my ipod and itunes for a few years and have rarely met a problem that i couldn't find an answer to.
This however is very frustrating and i cannot solve, when plugging my ipod into my computer, it appears in itunes and begins to 'sync' music from itunes to my ipod.
However it will sometimes only upload a quarter, or half of the songs on my itunes and then say 'ok to disconnect'.
On other occasions it will say itunes cannot read ipod and it will make me restore my ipod. On some occasions it will transfer all but 100 of my songs, then i plug it in again and only 5 will transfer.All of my songs will play in itunes and itunes recognises all of my songs need to be transferred, but will still say 'ok to disconnect' on itunes and on the ipod even though only half the songs have transferred.
It has me baffled, i have tried installing the newest and older versions of itunes, i have tried changing the letter of the drive from E: to G: i have read itunes support and scanned the forums and i can not find an answer. This has only just occured after 3 or so years of using itunes and ipod.
Please help, any thoughts or ideas would be much welcome as this is driving me insane!
Thanks

Ditto that. I wonder why. Hm, anyway, I'm calling the 800 when I wake up tomorrow. I'll post an answer if they help me at all.

Importing music from itunes to ipod

After I've transfered music from a CD or purchase music from itunes music store when I plug my ipod into the computer to copy the songs nothing happens, it just shows on the ipod 'do not disconnect.' but its been like that for over an hour and I only transferd 1 cd & purchase some tracks from itunes music store. Anybody any idea what I am doing wrong ?

Tracey, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Does the iPod show up in the iTunes Source list (left side of iTunes, below the Music Store entry)?
Look at "iPod Options" (right-click the iPod in the Source list), what synch method are you using - auto, playlist, or manual?

Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.
60GB iPod with click wheel Windows XP Pro

Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.
