Unable to copy songs to iPad Library

Hi,
Ok this is very strange.
I have 5 mp3 exactly the same format, no doubt. When I drag them to the Library, just 2 of them is copied, the 3 others aren't.
When I try just one to see what is going on, upon drop, there's absolutely nothing, no message and it's not copied. How am I supose to know why these songs aren't copied ?
I did make sure that the details of thesesongs are the same that means the album, the genre the artist, everything is exactly the same for the 5 songs.
I don't understand and I have no clue what to do
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Sorry I did not reply the right way
No DRM and they all come from the same place. I really checked if everything is the same for those 5 songs and yet every single detail about them is the same and the fact that there's no message telling me why it does not copy them is weird

I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc. If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing? I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library. The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

You can do this in 2 ways.
1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to. To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share. Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button. To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

Home sharing and trying to copy song from another library not working.

Trying to copy or drag a song from one library to another in the new Itunes 11.0 is not intuitive. The Help comments suggest there is a show button "at bottom of itunes" that will display "songs not in my library" but I don't see that. Anyone else have a clue?

If you want the old way of copying and dragging, you can enable the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar from the menu.
Without the sidebar, you can still copy by mounting your Home Share (although, it's not dragging) and select the item you want to copy and click Import at the bottom bar on the right.
Does this help?

Unable to copy songs into iPod

hi, i'm new iPod user, i have an iPod mini.
i tried to sync my iPod with iTunes, but had this error message that said: some of the items in the iTunes music library were not copied into the iPod because the iPod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod/download to get the latest iPod Updater.
I went to the website and downloaded the newest version of iTunes. i did not see an "iPod Updater" anywhere.
This did not solve the problem. i am unable to download any songs into my iPod.
Would someone please help?
much appreciated, i have gone through a lot of trouble to get this iPod working, and it is so frustrating that the last step is still a barrier at this moment. hoping someone will be able to offer some help here.
thank you.

I went to the website and downloaded the newest version of iTunes. i did not see an "iPod Updater" anywhere.
in the new itunes 7.0.x versions there is no longer a separate "standalone" ipod updater application. you use itunes itself for the update. for instructions on how to do that, see:

ITunes 10.1.1.4 - Unable to add songs from Windows Library

Hello,
I have just installed the latest version of iTunes, I apologize if I have entered the wrong version in the thread title, however - I am now unable to drag and drop songs from my Windows Folder Library into my Playlists on my iPod Touch into this new version of iTunes.
I used to simply drag the file over to iTunes and hover the mouse over the playlist, which would auto highlight itself and then leg go of the mouse and it would be updated, however now - nothing.
Please can someone help me with this, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan.

There is some problem with your WSDL.

Looks like some problem with your operation definition with input and output variable definitions.

Unable to sort songs on iPad or iPod in iTunes

I used to be able to sort songs on my iPod using the column browser in iTunes; I recently got an iPad and noticed that the column browser option was greyed out. I puzzled over this for a bit but didn't mind since I don't listen to music from the iPad. However, I noticed a few days ago that the column browser is no longer available for music on my iPod either.
I know that to get the column browser option one must click on the "songs" tab near the top of the itunes window - but I don't have that table. The whole line with "Songs/Albums/Artists/Genres/Radio/Match" is gone. It's available for music on my computer, in my itunes library - but not for anything on the iPod or iPad.
I'm using an iPod classic, so I've got a huge amount of music there - not being able to sort using the column browser is a huge pain the boot!
Any tips?

Nothing?

Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

Is the new PC running XP as well, Chalotte?
If so, I might start with the following document (your error message is a possible symptom of the issue too):

I downloaded the new Itunes 7 the other day. Once it was installed it did not let me add new songs to my ipod via Itunes. It keep coming up as 'Not responding'.
I had to uninstall this version and install an earlier version to add new songs to my ipod.
Can someone please get back to me.
I have the 4th generation 40gb ipod.
Many thanks

And your partner changed no settings? I believe you can set it so sharing does not allow copying.

Itunes not copying songs to Ipod

I had to reinstall itunes a few weeks ago, since then I've been unable to copy songs from itunes, it recognises my ipod but can't move any songs to it.
I've tried resetting everyting, reinstalling everything, nothing works.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Are you sure that your preferences are at the correct setting?
Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod -> Music".
On either of the "automatic" settings, iTunes should automatically update the songs from either the library or a playlist (depends on the setting) to your iPod.
On the "manual" option, you'll have to manually transfer songs to your iPod, by simply going to the iTunes library, selecting the songs you want on your iPod, and drag-and-drop them over into your iPod's name in the left source area of iTunes.
If you still can't transfer sogns from iTunes to your iPod, then try a restore on your iPod.
