  • I am unable to move songs to my iphone...any suggestions?

    I am unable to move burned songs to my iphone, and some songs that were purchases on itunes from my PC.  I am able to drag them to my ipod touch, but receive a red circle with a slash in it when trying to drag them to my iphone.  I am signed in to my Apple account, and my computer is authorized.  Any suggestions?

    Check your "manually manage music and video" box.  Probably your ipod is checked but not your iPhone.
    Check it and click the Apply button on the lower right window.

  • Unable to move songs on Ipod shuffle

    Having a problem moving my songs around on my ipod. Not the itunes library but the actual ipod. Please help.

    Having the same issue. Since upgrading to iTunes Ver.
    7.0.2 I cannot move anything unto my 1st gen Shuffle.
    Once, it's docked, I can't do the following:
    -delete songs
    -change songs
    -Autofill from a Playlist
    -restore to factory settings
    Basically, I can't do anything.
    I even bought the new Shuffle and tried that.
    Nothing.
    Any ideas out there?
    Does EITHER shuffle show up under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window? What happens when you click on the shuffle icon? Have you registered the NEW one?

  • Unable to transfer songs form Nano to Computer manually

    I recently got a new desktop and have authorized this computer to be used with my nano. However, I am unable to move songs from my iPod to the computer. Any suggestions?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content 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

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    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

  • Unable to move a song in itunes to playlist--help, please

    I just tried to drag and drop a new song into a pre-existing playlist, and it wouldn't work. I then tried moving any song into any playlist and it doesn't work either. I haven't tried to do this recently, so I'm not sure how long it's been this way. I'm wondering if this might relate to either iphone OS 3 or the current itunes version updates. Also, I'm not able to right-click on the song and pick "add to playlist" from the drop-down menu. Thanks for any suggestions!

    I just restarted my Mac Book and now I am able to move songs to playlists at will (I had "quit" itunes twice while trying to resolve the problem, which hadn't worked). Yeah!!

  • HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes

    Hi,
    This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
    PROBLEM:
    iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
    The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
    TRIED:
    1. Repair permissions
    2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
    3. Restore ipod " " " " '
    4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
    5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
    I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
    Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
    Thanks !

  • I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

    I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

    What happens when you try?
    If the song is an older purchase (from more than a few years ago), it may have DRM (copy protection).  You can check by selecting the song on a list in iTunes, and doing a Get Info (right click - Get Into).  On the Info window Summary tab, if Kind is Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM.  Also note what it says there for Apple ID.  You need to authorize the computer you use with the iPod to play content purchased with that Apple ID.
    From the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer.  Enter the Apple ID (and password) used to purchase the song.  One computer can be authorize for multiple Apple IDs.
    NOTE:  More recent iTunes Store song purchases do not use DRM, although other type of media (such as TV shows and movies) still do.
    If that's not the cause of your problem, please post back with more details...

  • How do I move songs/files on the iPod?

    I would like to clean up some of the songs on my new 80 GB Video iPod. I notice that the same musical groups with slightly different spellings will be listed under artists with both spellings (example: Ah Ha & a-Ha). How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)? I think I am running into problems because I used an mp3 cd to load some of these songs into iTunes (I dragged them to iTunes from the CD in Windows explorer). Also, I am unable to create a "Workout" playlist on the iPod. I can do this in iTunes, but the playlist and the songs do not appear on my iPod. There are 2 other playlists that were created when I dragged the files from the hard drive to iTunes. Is that the problem I am having? Another question: would it be best to move all my songs from their sources into the \My Music\iTunes directory? Will doing this make the songs from that directory synch with my iPod? Thank you.

    "How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)?"
    Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
    This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
    So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
    Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
    If you want the music in your iTunes library to be accessible to it and transferrable to the ipod, all the music should be in your iTunes folder which is usually found at my music/iTunes/iTunes music.
    You can do this by using the advanced/consolidate option in iTunes. This creates a copy of all the music found on your computer and places it in the iTunes music folder.

  • I am unable to movies and videos in to my itunes

    I am unable to movies and videos in to my itunes

    Yes! It is set up for manual management because I have way more music than will fit on my nano so I am only putting my favorites on it! It's just odd that the music on the 2 new CDs I downloaded into iTunes will not copy over! When I drag my songs to the playlist I made on my nano it acts like it is copying because I get the number of songs icon and the + sign indicating that it is copying but then the playlist is empty. The nano will say for a couple seconds that it is synchronizing but in the end nothing has transferred! If I take an older song and drag it into the playlist it does copy! Seem like it has to do with the new CDs being compatible with nano? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!

  • I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

    As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
    This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

  • Iphone 5s - IBM  Notes Traveler 9.01  -Unable to move messages to trash after a few hours

    I have a problem with one of my Iphone 5s users.  Everything was working with his IPhone 4S, but the phone died and so they replaced it with a 5S
    We are using an IBM Lotus Notes 9.01 Server  (latest FP patch) and Traveler 9.01 FP4 with the iphone 5 s.
    On his Iphone 5S  we install  Notes Traveler...  Everything works on it, but after a few hours  we not able  to delete messages on the IPhone.  When he clicks Delete on a message  on his Iphone,  it comes back saying it is "Unable to Move the message" 
    If I remove Traveler and reinstall it, he can delete the messages for  a few minutes or even  a few hours, but then it comes back and says it cannot move the  messages when we try to delete the email on the Iphone 5S.   The Iphone had   7.1.1 OS...  I updated it to latest Apple 7.1.2 OS on it..  Same problem.   We also have an AOL account on the Iphone ....that works fine...      All other Traveler users on Iphones  4S or 5S users are working Fine...  
    I had IBM look at it.  They did some testing and the  email deletions only appeared on the logs when   it synchronized to Traveler, but when the problem occurs...  it never did show anything in the Notes logs, about the Delete request.   They are saying it is an Apple problem.
    I even reset his IPhone 5 S to factory defaults and re-setup Notes Traveler and after a few minutes or a few hours... When he deletes a email he gets the  Cannot move the messages again.   I opened a bug report with Apple by never heard back from them.  All other functions of the email work..   He can send and receive emails...  He just cannot delete after a few hours.  I ran checks on he email database and everything comes up OK...

    That's odd.  You will probably have to contact Apple support on this one.  I'm not sure if their is a problem with your account or a server glitch at their end but in either case, they will probably have to look into it for you.  You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

    Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    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 and iPodRobot.
    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.

  • HT1373 how do I move songs form one account to another account?

    how do I move songs form one account to another account?

    Only sequentially. Each time you switch accounts, it will overwite the existing content with the new content.  As AnaMusic says, you cannot sync one device with two AppleID accounts at the same time, or even with the same AppleID on different computers for the same type of content (you could, for example, sync music to one computer, and calendars to a different computer, but not music to two different computers, even if they're the same AppleID). 
    Also, if you want to *re-download* content directly form the iTunes store (assuming it's an iPod Touch), you can only change IDs every 90 days.

  • Can i move songs from my iPod to my new matchbook air?

    I bought a brand new mackbook air and i had trouble on the migration assisstant because the verification window wouldnt show up on my old dell. I would now like to know if i am able to move songs from my ipod to my new mac without having to use migration assisstant. Please help me! Thanks!

    one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.
