Updating songs maunally

I have set my itunes to not update songs every time i plug my ipod in: i do it by hand. I just put a cd into my computer. Now, it is in my library folder, but i want to get it into my ipod where it said My Name's Ipod.
I drag it in, and it wont work. I even drag the whole "folder" into Alexa's Ipod, and that wont work

Just to be sure everything is set up correctly, check your update preferences. Connect the iPod and when it appears in the source list go to iTunes>Preferences>iPod> Music tab and make sure the "manually manage songs and playlists" radio button is checked.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

HELP!!! itunes wont update songs to ipod

basically as the topic says im having trouble with itunes and my ipod Video , the problem is that i connect my ipod to my computer ,itunes recognizes my ipod and says its updating songs but it doesnt and after a minute or so it says "Itunes has encountered an error" and closes down.
Any idea on how to solve this problem ??
any help will be appreciated

okay, we'd better try enlisting some additional technical help then.
we'll get a crash log from itunes, and send it to so someone who can interpret crash logs. (it may take a few days before you get a response.)
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using, the version number of your ipod updater, the software version on your ipod, and the model of ipod you're getting the crash with:
iPod: How to find software version
Identifying different iPod models
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

Can't see the updated song

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my 5th Gen Ipod 30G.
the problem is ..I Can't see the some updated songs on my Ipod.
I can see the songs are already in my Ipod through the Itune's songlist(also under IPOD menu when It syncs.). but for some reason.. I dont see them in the Ipod.
for example, I have three mp3s of "2pac"..on my itune list, but I only see one song.

Itouch 4th Generation won't update songs when i edit them through devices

Whenever i update songs on itunes from devices they wont update on the ipod itself just on the library list under devices and it will stay the same on the ipod as before i edited so i have to erase them edit them on itunes library and them drag them again into ipod i wanna be able to edit them withouth having to edit info in library and have to drag them also when i put an album artwork the same way the picture wont be on the ipod and it will skip the song as soon as it start i just got the ipod yesterday brand new?

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

Updating Song Attributes for Multiple Users Sharing a Media Folder

I have 2 users on the same iMac, each with their own library but sharing the same media folder. If one user updates song attribute information (example - adding the song year), how does the other user update his library with those attribute changes? I tried to do File-->Add to library which is the way one user adds songs to his library that the other user added, but that didn't work. If I play the song, it updates the information. If I select File-->Get Info for a single song, it updates the information, but if I select multiple songs it does NOT update the information.

Got into the same issue today; I selected all the songs and updated the ratings. That helped to sync with the latest attributes. If you care about your song ratings.. then this might not help you.

Updating songs on IPod in Windows and CPU usage

Whever i update songs on my ipod, iTunes will use lots of CPU. I do not have a problem with this as i have a dual core system that can handle the load, the problem is that when i switch away to another application iTunes will suddenly decide to idle and reduces it's cpu usage and the speed at which it encodes/transfers.
I'm guessing this is to increase respsonsivness so that you can use your computer but it makes the transfer horribly slow.
So, my question is how do i make iTunes use more CPU when it's not the foreground window? Is there a way?
Dual Core 2.66Mhz Pentium D Windows XP Pro

When you bring another application to the front of iTunes while it is updating, it will reduce the cpu usage of itself. Load up task manager and see for yourself. Normally when iTunes is the foreground window it will use 70%-80% of the CPU for encoding. Now this isn't a problem, i have a dual core CPU so iTunes can use all the cpu it wants and it won't lag the rest of the computer ( even if i do play games)
My problem occurs when i want to switch away from iTunes and browse the web while waiting for it to update, when i do this it takes forever to update the iPod because iTunes has gone into low priority mode and only uses about 5% CPU, I want to know if there is a way to "PREVENT" iTunes into going into this "IDLE" mode and instead use as much CPU as it wants on one core, because i don't want to have to set it up and walk away for an hour.
I suppose this is really a developer issue, in that they have not used proper multi-threading to take advantage of dual core CPU's. Still an option to disable the low priority mode would be nice.

What is the process to update song plays count ?

Hi,
i'm using iTunes Match on 5 devices : 2 windows, iPad, iPhone and MacBook
Everything is ok, sync is perfect for new songs i add anywhere.
If i rate a song, it appears rated the same way on all other devices in a fex seconds.
BUT
what is the process to update the song plays count ?
because it doesn't seem to sync correctly.
I have updated song plays count by scripts on one iTunes and it doesn't update at all anywhere else. I havez tried to "Update iTunes Match" and it just brought back the old song plays counts.
How can i update the song plays and make the value change on all devices ?
Thanks

"Update Songs on'my ipod'"

I chose "update songs on 'my ipod'" and it erased all the songs I had on my ipod and copied the limited amount of songs I had in my library on that computer. What gives? I am not happy about this. Is there any way to get them back on my ipod? there were songs on the ipod that I didn't have on my computer.
What the ****?
Thanks for your help,
Jay

By selecting that option you automatically synced your iPod with your iTunes library.
The songs on your iPod will have been erased and replaced with the contents of the iTunes library you just synced with.
That's the way auto sync works. Unless you have a back up someplace, the songs on your iPod are gone.

TS1702 I updated song pop and now it won't work

I updated song pop and now it won't even open the page

Try the basic steps?
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or delete the app and reinstall it. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggle then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button when done. Download the app again.

IPod mini will charge, but not update songs

Just last week my ipod mini stopped updating songs. Before that it was working fine. When I plug it in, it charges but iTunes doesn't pop up and I can't update my songs into my iPod. Someone Help Me.

Hello, my ipod charges when I connect it to the computer, but it doesn't appear neither on ITunes or the computer itself. As soon as I put the USB in the port, a message in the right corner comes up saying that the USB peripheric isn't recognised..So obviously if ipod doesn't appear on Itunes, I can't put new songs on it.
I tried connecting it to other computers and it works.
What can I do??? Thanks
