Trouble Copying Songs from Mac to iPod

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.
I copied my iTunes folder from my PowerBook to my MacBook Pro. All of my songs appear in the library.
I have my iPod set up to manually manage my songs.
When I copy songs from library to my iPod, they don't copy. I don't even get a warning message. I did the reset warnings on my iPod and still no message.
If I go to my iMac computer, I can copy songs from iTunes to my iPod with no problem
Why can't I copy songs from my new MacBook Pro to iTunes?
I have reset my iPod, my sure I am running latest versions of the software etc.
MacBook Pro, 2.1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB Ram

Shooting from the hip, I'd say try running a restore with the iPod connected to the new MacBook.
Good luck.

Cannot copy songs from library to ipod - says need to run updater but ipod

Cannot copy songs from library to ipod- says the software is too old and updater needs to be rund. However, the updater has been run and says the ipod is up to date. I have already run the restore so the ipod is empty.

The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
So, transfer of any songs added (or removal of any songs deleted from iTunes) should take place automatically every time you connect the iPod to iTunes.

Copying song from Library to Ipod

I am getting and error message every time I try and copy songs to my Ipod. It reads;
Attempting to copy the Disk Leslie IP failed. The disk could not read or written to.
Help!!

Take a look at this Apple KnowledgeBase article:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
Hope it helps. Good luck.

Cant copy songs from itunes to ipod

I have a new computer and installed itunes and music. However when I connect my ipod it shows up but I cannot transfer songs from itunes to it. What is the cause of the problem and possible solution?
Mike

It's because your iPod can only be synced to one computer at a time unless you enable the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's summary tab. However, this method of syncing is much different from having iTunes automatically sync content for you.
So in order to sync your iPod with the new iTunes you'll need to copy the music from your iPod over to your new PC and then erase and sync it. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

Transfer songs from Mac to iPod, then transfer songs from PC to same iPod?

I would like to know if it is possible, and how to transfer some songs from my Mac (Power PC G4) to my iPod (iPod 20GB with color display), and THEN transfer some more songs from my husband's computer (Windows PC) to the SAME iPod WITHOUT ERRASING the ones I already transfered from the Mac.
Is this possible? do I need a special sodftware for this? can I find this software free anywhere?
Please help, thank you!

As pointed out by Mitch, the key here is you want to format the iPod (via the Restore command when plugged into the Windows iTunes) for Windows and both machines can read the iPod. Next set the iPod for manual syncing. You can now plug it into either computer and manually add stuff to the iPod or delete items off of it...

Cannot copy songs from itunes to ipod touch, although I've downloaded latest itunes version. Please help..

I've downloaded latest version of itunes but still didn't allow me to drag the songs that I want to my ipod touch. Anybody could help?? Thanks!

Hello Juminten Cinta,
Since you are trying to manually add content to your iPod Touch, have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?
If it's already ticked, what exactly happens when you try to drag the songs over to your iPod?

Troubles downloading songs from itunes to ipod mini

After a few months i connected mi ipod mini to my pc, i downloaded the latest i tunes and the latest firmware for the mini.
Then itunes asked me to restore the mini because of a problem, i did and from then on i had a lot of problems downloading music from i tunes to the mini, the few songs i could transfer were downloaded at a sluggish speed and sometimes a windows message appears saying that there was an error transfering data, maybe because of an hardware or connection error.
And also if i disconnect the mini and then i reconnect it again, itunes prompts me to restore it, givin'me no other options.
The mini worked just fine until now.
Help me please i'm clueless now...

Hi asims01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

I hope this information helps ....

How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

*Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Copying Songs from Ipod to new Computer

My previous notebook crashed and all the songs on my Itunes are all gone. I wish to sync songs from my Ipod to the new notebook. How do I go about doing that?
Please help.

Hello Mactan22,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
