Trouble with loading songs onto ipod

I was trying to load some of my existing cd's onto my ipod and after a while it wouldnt load anymore songs on. And after several times of trying to get a cd onto my ipod, it deleted all the songs I had already in it off my ipod. So I had to go back and load all the previously existing songs back onto my ipod.
I dont know why it isnt letting me load some of my cd's on. One cd it only loaded 1 song from the 12 that were on the cd.
I dont want to risk trying to load another cd on if its going to erase everything again.
Anyone know whats going on?

I'm not sure about the whole problem, but for the CD problem, single click to hightlight the first song on the list that comes up when you use the CD. Then,while holding shift, click the last song on the list. If you'be done this correctly, you should see all the songs between the top and bottom hightlighted. Then, click and drag the songs into the library and they should all download. The first will download, then the next when that finishes, and you get the idea, P.S. you do not need to use shift when you drag the songs to the library.
It's happened to me sometimes, too.

  • Problems with loading songs onto ipod colour 20gb

    Hi,
    I'm having problems connecting an ipod 20gb colour to a mac G5, the ipod connects up and shows in itunes fine, however after every 2 songs transfer it says 'Attempting to connect to ipod, cannot be written to or read'
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks

    Well, I changed my iPod settings to manual and was able to get almost everything on there. I did it an artist at a time using the browse menu so it took a good bit of time... but now I have music and an audiobook for my road trip!
    It was strange. It seemes there are only two songs in my library that are simply refusing to transfer. The rest of that album will transfer perfectly and it was ripped all at once. I'm not sure what kind of bugs are going on, but at least I have music in my pocket again.

  • Unable to load songs onto Ipod from Intel Imac

    I am unable to unload songs onto my 5th gen ipod from my Intel Imac. No amount of troubleshooting has helped so far; SMC, restore, swapping usb ports, swapping cables, PRAM, etc.
    I can, however, load songs onto the ipod from my 6 yr old Tibook. This leads me to believe my Imac has a usb port problem, unless somehow my ipod is at the root of this issue?
    The tibook's usb is 1.1, not 2.0, which makes for verrry loonngg load times and I woould much rather be able to load from my Imac.
    Has anybody else encountered anything like this before?
    Of course my Imac and my ipod are out of warranty - if my Imac (or my Ipod) are in need of repair, can anybody recommend or anti-recommend good repair services, preferably in the Seattle area?
    please and thanks,

    Yes, Itunes starts up, no dialog boxes at first but I can anticipate soon getting a whirling beachball of death oftentimes just by plugging in the ipod, definitely if and when I try to load any songs onto it.
    I often eventually get a dialog box to the tune of ipod could not be loaded to for unknown reasons 1435. Thats the only one I remember right now, though it seems I have gotten slight variations on this theme.
    The ipod appears both in itunes and the desktop, although if itunes freezes I cannot see the whole desktop to confirm at all times. Yes, the ipod does appear in the system profiler under usb.
    Eventually the entire computer will be taken over by the wbbod, forcing a hard re-boot.
    please and thanks,

  • Error mesage when trying to load songs onto ipod, computer is authorized

    my husband and I have 2 different user IDs on vista and when I tried to load some songs from our public itunes directory onto his ipod, an error pops up saying this computer is not authorized to play these songs. When I try to authorize the computer in the itunes store it says, computer already authorized but I continue to get the error. I logged out of my account and back in but it still isn't working. Now when I tried to sync my iphone under my user id on the laptop I'm getting the error message that the computer is not authorized so it can't sync my iphone apps. It worked fine a week ago, this is not a new computer.

    I have the exact same problem, meaning I have to reinstall a game I bought in iTtunes Store every time I plug in my iPod.
    I just tried the signing out, restart, signing in proces, but it didn't work for me.. any other suggestions how to solve this?
    I've been experiencing this problem ever since I updated itunes to 8.1, and even now after updated to 8.2 it's still the same..

  • I bought 3 songs for my iPod shuffle and they wont sync onto my iPod. It keeps saying "could not copy "song" onto iPod. Can anyone help me?

    Can anyone help????

    Is the shuffle full?
    Which model iPod shuffle do you have?  This article about shuffle syncing shows the four types of shuffles
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    Which method do you use to load songs onto the shuffle?  Do you do it manually, by dragging songs to the shuffle in iTunes?  Or do you automatically sync the shuffle?

  • Load songs off ipod to computor or disk

    Is there anyway to load songs off ipod to computor or disk?

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.

  • Unable to load songs to IPOD

    IPOD 30Gb classic...Restored and reset. computer recognizes IPOD, but unable to load songs to IPOD. Even new songs purchased from ITUNES

    First off, you don't have an iPod classic, it was never issued in a 30GB version. Check this link to see what iPod you have.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    Secondly, it may help to provide further info such as whether you are using the iPod automatically or manually to transfer music and whether or not you see any error messages.
    Does iTunes see the iPod? What happens when you try to transfer songs?

  • HT1351 How do you manually sync songs onto iPod/iPhone with the recent iTunes? This article is invalid as there is no section on the left hand side of iTunes called 'Devices'.

    Very frustraiting as I cannot currently put songs onto my iPod/iPhone after regrettably downloading the most recent iTunes, and my friends are having the same problem. I have an apple mac and it is clearly a fault of the new iTunes as it used to work before the new iTunes.

    It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!! AFTER I CREATE MY PLAYLIST I WOULD MANUALLY DRAG THAT PLAYLIST TO MY EXISTING IPHONE ICON AND VOILA! NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!! I HAVE TO WRITE DOWN THE ARTSISTS NAMES AND ENTER THEM INTO THE SEARCH BAR AND ADD THE SONGS MANUALLY TO MY IPHONE ICON!!!! ITUNES 11 JUST PUTS ME IN A REALLY BAD MOOD! I'm soo mad and upset. First world problems yo...

  • Load songs from ipod to new computer

    i recently got a new computer and i want to load the songs from my ipod to the new itunes library...i have done this before but i cant seem to find the link that sent me to the place with the directions to do this...if anyone knows the link can they please post it?! thankssss (:

    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: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    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 also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump 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
    One last thing, if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different computer with an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of method you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Trying to upload songs onto ipod

    I've had my ipod for about 4 months now. i just got out to school about a month ago and today was the first time trying to upload some new songs onto it. when it connected to my computer, it would show the "do not disconnect screen" on it, then reset. i tried doing this 3 or 4 times, and it has yet to work. i was wondering how i could go about fixing this, or if it's just a problem with my ipod that i can't fix? thanks a lot.

    I had/have the same problem. I say both - because I went ahead and had to restore the ipod tonight. Itunes nor my PC would recognize it. I downloaded the upgrades for itunes and the ipod installed them both. Went ahead and uploaded all the songs again and it worked fine. Then I disconnected the ipod, uploaded another cd to see if it would upload to the ipod and nope it wouldnt. Itunes would not recognize it. The only way I can disconnect it now is to shut off the PC because all I get is the "do not disconnect" warning. When the PC finally does recognize it - it tells me I need to update the lastest software for the ipod, but then it freezes and when it finally does actually do something - it only gives me the option to restore it. I dont want to do another restore and am at a total loss of what to do next. I have read thru the FAQ's and cant find anything that helps unless I am overlooking it. So any help would be great. Hope we get this problem worked out..Thanks
