Unable to put music on iPod in iTunes?
Hello!
I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. I want to put music on my iPod in iTunes, but I can't. Here's what happens: I drag a song to the left side of the screen where it shows my iPod, then let go. It shows "Sync In Progress" on my iPod, and after about 3 seconds, it lets me unlock my iPod. Okay, but I go to my Music app and the music that I tried to put on my iPod just isn't there.
Help?

Can't put music onto ipod on itunes
Hello,
I'm a lifelong mac user, but I despise iTunes with an absolute passion. Here's the latest: I got an iPod (30gig) and want to select from among my 160 gigs or so of music and audiobooks (all mpegs) and put some on my iPod (onto the iPod icon, which does show up in iTunes). But when I put the files into my iTunes library and then try to drag them onto my iPod, nothing happens. If I try to move files from my music folder, the computer says they're moving, but then I can't find them on the iPod.
I have it set up to move stuff manually, not synch.
I have successfully moved playlists in the past, but I can't even do that anymore. The iPod itself seems to be working okay...?
Thanks for any help!See:

Trying to sync music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing
I am trying to sync my entire iTunes library music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing (using Windows 8 laptop)
I have tried to do it manually in little chunk and also tried the auto sync method too.
I have restored my ipod to factory setting 12 times now and retry but just when I think I'm getting somewhere iTunes freezes in the middle of the sync and then tell me it "cannot copy because of unknown error (-50)"
From then on my Ipod refuses to accept any more syncing, it may do one and then it freezes again, iTunes says there is an issue with iPod, so I run a scan fix, it is repaired but then iTunes wants me to "restore to factory settings" again, it's a never ending circle, I get it fixed, iTunes crashes and then I have to fix, restore and start all over again just to have the same thing happen all over again
I have read here and there that there seems to be a bug in iTunes 11 when it comes to syncing.
I don't know what else to do, except revert back to iTunes 10 but I don't know how to do that either.
Anyone else had same issue syncing their library over to their iPod and how I fix it?Hi, ktchinagirl.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple reason this issue could be happening. I have included a couple troubleshooting resources below that may help resolve this issue. Some of the articles are missing the steps for Windows 8, try the steps for Windows 7 as an alternative.
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

This could be related to security software conflicts. If the steps above have not resolved the issue, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

I am using apple iPod-suffle model,I am unable to upload music into iPod and 3 lights(green,orange and red) keeps blinking for few seconds when I connect my iPod to my PC and after few seconds its turn to unresponce mode,Plz help to find out solution.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Any way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes
I had to get new laptop and lost all my music from the iTunes I had on the previous lap top. Is there a way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes ?
Or you can do it the cheap way...
In the options screens, check "Enable Disk Use." Your ipod should then show up in your My Computer as a new drive.
In My Computer, go to TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS...>View [tab] and under "Hidden files and folders," choose to "Show hidden files and folders"
A new folder will pop up in My Computer's Ipod Drive letter called "Control" or something like that. You should be able to dig around in there and find a bunch of mp3s randomly named... Those represent your music files. Drag all the folders that have your music in it to the new computer's harddrive.
Now go into iTunes, "add Folder to Library," Choose the folder that you drug from your iPod and iTunes will import all your music as if nothing happened. Synch it up and it will transfer all this "new music" to your iPod, replacing the old music with the "new" stuff. You'll see... It's like nothing ever happened.
Please note that you'll lose your ratings and playlists... But honestly... Who cares??
Happy transferring!

How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?
All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!
any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

Is there a way to put music from ipod into computer?
Ok, my problem is that I have not got any trace of music on my computer and my music is on my ipod Classic. It is an 80GB one. I want to know if you can still put new music on it without deleting what is already on it. Or, if there is a way to get the music off it and into the computer. I cannot do the method suggested in this link though http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?locale=en_AU so any help would be appreciated.
If you have a solution if you could e-mail me at: ***********@**********.** (no 'e' after the 'w' as I was a bad speller all those years ago).
Thanks
<Edited by Moderator>Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

Music on iPod to iTunes?
I feel really stupid asking this but, is it possible to move music from an iPod onto iTunes?
The reason I'm asking this is because my Aunt has a Fifth Generation iPod and she asked me to put a few episodes of lost (Downloaded with iTunes) onto her iPod. When I try to do this a window pops up asking "Are you sure you want to enable Automatic Updating, All existing videos on "My aunt's" iPod will be replaced with videos from your iTunes Library". I click yes because she doesn't have any videos on her iPod. It's practically brand new and all that's on it are a couple songs. When I close out of the options window a window pops up "The iPod "My Aunt's iPod" is linked to another library. Do you want to change link to your library and replace all songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library" this is where I click No.
I can't seem to find a way to get any music from her iPod onto my computer where it will be safe from deletion. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Windows XP ProIt's understandable, but yes, it's illegal. It's just as bad as making copies of a DVD you purchased, and giving them to friends. Really, it's stealing (on your friends' part).

Lost my music on ipod, but itunes has it
While putting music on iTunes, and connecting my iPod, the iPod became blank and no longer contains my music. However, iTunes has all the music. iTunes popped up with this message, "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly,please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
If I reinstall iTunes, will all my music be lost?
Dell Windows XPTry the instructions in this article; reinstalling iTunes won't delete the contents of your music library.
