Unable to drag or download songs from PC

I have a 4th generation ipod touch, windows 7 PC & itunes 11.2.3.  I am unable to drag songs from itunes library to ipod touch (receive error message that songs do not exist).  This happens to either songs purchased through itunes or songs from cd's.  I also do not see a download button next to any songs.  What step am I missing?  Thanks.

Do the songs play in iTunes? I suspect not and I suspect they have an ! by them. That means that iTunes can't find the actual music files.
If so then:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
You will have to reimport any CD music

  • ITunes Match unable to download songs from iCloud issue

    I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.1. I am having repeated issues with downloading songs from iCloud to my MBP. I have reset Match numerous times using the steps located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4054.
    Then it works for a short time and I am able to download some songs and then suddenly I will get the pinwheel, the songs in iCloud will all show greyed out and then I am no longer able to download anymore. Repeat process.
    I am about to try a test tethering to my iPhone's internet service to see if that improves things. So far, the only threads I have found on this topic have been related to Mountain Lion. So I'm not sure if this is a different issue I am seeing.
    I also tried resetting the System Configuration to see if it would fix, but no luck: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=90&tstart=0
    Is anyone else experiencing this and what is the issue? Can it be fixed?

    Hi,
    I don't think that you have a similar issue to OP.

    That means that iTunes Match is stripping out the Sample Rate when it uploads some tracks (even variable within albums) and then it gets stuck when you try to play the track.
    Apple needs to fix this.
    Match does not strip out the Sample Rate. If tracks are matched, it shows the standard sample rate of 44,100 but unknown when tracks are uploaded (probably because Apple does not capture this on such tracks). If you have an iCloud status of "Waiting" and a blank sample rate, this suggests that the match / upload process was not completed.
    If you have not already solved your problem, I suggest that you delete those tracks and then read them to your iTunes library. Once you have matched or uploaded them, you can delete from your hard drive but not the cloud.

  • Unable to download song from iCloud

    After purchasing songs from Itunes, I receive the following error message when trying to download songs from iCloud - "you do not have the priviledge to make changes."  My itunes library is currently housed on an external hard drive.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    my first thought is if you have recently authorized/deauthorized any other computers. which requires a wait time.
    other troubleshoots might be if you accidently switching your external harddrive to read only.
    let me know, i'll try helping you troubleshoot.

  • I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone

    I took a new IPhone 5 on the 2nd Nov in India; I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone ( The IPhone symbol appears on my ITunes screen , But when I drag the songs my library to IPhone I am unable to Sync songs ) Can anyone help me with this issue and the main reason for me to take an IPhone 5 is for it would be handy for me during travelling as I can use it as IPod too

    Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
    In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
    Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
    Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
    Music will now be copied to you phone.

  • I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    Yes Deborah,
    Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem downloading songs from iTunes to iPhone

    I cannot download songs from iTunes into my iPhone. I was able to move about 10 songs but when I view them they are greyed out. I cannot manually move any songs. And if I attempt to drag and drop the iPhone will not accept them as the iPod will. Any suggestions? BTW I can move songs freely from iTunes to my iPod.

    hi jason,
    imho, the lack of manual music and video management
    is a mistake. i've had 4 ipods over the years and have always used
    manual mode. the playlist hack works okay
    and is only mildly cumbersome.
    however i tend to buy music from itunes both on my
    imac at home and my pc at work. i've always simply
    been to plug in my ipod to either computer and grab my
    purchases, in either location. now, my iphone is "locked"
    to my imac. i'm sure apple had a good reason to leave out
    manual management, but i would suggest revisiting this
    asap.

  • Why cannot I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    Actually I have two questions.  I just updated from Leopard to snow leopard.  Now when I import songs, it says "Do you want to import to burn playlist?"  I click "yes".  Then when it is finished copying, I go to "playlists" on the top of the screen and click on the "burn playlist" and it says there are no items.  Where did the songs go.  I would like to burn a playlist that I imported this way.  I haven't tried arranging songs in the order I want them yet, but now see that is an issue also.  I also used to see a list of my playlists on the left side of the screen and the songs within each of those playlists when I clicked on them and easily could drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  How do I do the same functions that I used to do before I updated? Does this update make it impossible to do the same functions as before?  Where can I find a "manual" of sorts to direct me to explain this new format?  If there is no way to do these things, I will have to say that I want my old iTunes back.  Can I do so???  Actually, the only reason I updated was so that I could play pix and movies from my camera into iPhoto.  When I did so, it said I had to update other programs to get iPhoto to work.  I am trying very hard not to be very frustrated.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After poking around for a while figured how to do things in this new iTunes.  Not as intuitive as the old one.  Sorry I don't have time to tell what I figured out.  Maybe some other time.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

  • How do i download songs from my itunes account to wifes ipod nano?

    How do download songs from my itunes account to my wifes ipod nano with her own account?

    To what iTunes library is the nano normally synced? The iTunes library you use (i.e. all tracks are in a single iTunes library). An iTunes library in a different user account on that same computer? Another computer? We need to know your setup and scenario before we can offer intelligent advice.
