Why can't i drag music onto my ipod touch?

When I try to drag an album by its cover, I get the "red star" icon instead of the green plus. When I try to drag a single item from the table view, I get no icon at all.
All music has been ripped by me, on this mac, from CD. No DRM anywhere. The Touch was just factory restored from this iTunes. The computer is authorized, but I don't think that's relevant.
Pre-restore, everything worked fine. Applications move back and forth no problem.

Click on your iPod under the devices tab. When on the settings tab, make sure "manually manage music and videos" is ticked.
Right now, iTunes is set to automatically sync music. Speaking of which, go to the music tab and uncheck "sync music".

  • Why can't I hear music from my iPod Touch in the car using the auxilliary jack?.

    When I am in my car I am not able to hear much of my music from my iPod touch.  I use an auxilliary jack.  Is there some setting or adjustment that can be made?

    No setting.
    Are you connecting it to the iPod's headphone jack? Do headphones work?
    Did it work before?

  • Why can't I sync music onto my iPod?

    I have the 3rd Generation iPod Nano. I've had it for a little over a year, so I'm very familar with how to work it, etc. I've been trying to days now, to add more music to my iPod, but, for some reason, I'm unable to. I'll connect my iPod through the USB Port and my iPod screen will stay stuck on, "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." I've gone under "File" to see if I can click on, "Sync *My name*'s iPod", but that option isn't given. I'll click on "My Devices", and I'll click on "Sync", but it won't sync. I've gone onto the Apple website and I've tried the "5 Steps of Troubleshooting" numerous times, and nothing's working. I have no idea what's wrong with it. What could be wrong with it?
    Just as an F.Y.I., my iPod's warranty ended ten days ago as of today. My sister also uses this laptop to sync her iPod Touch.

    Sure you don't have the iPod set to manage the music manually?
    You can check by going to the 'summary' page and you will see the option to:
    "manually manage music". Is that selected?
    If you want to auto sync your music etc, you need to click on the 'music' tab, where you will see the option to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

    A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?

    Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?
    I'm working in West Africa, and iTunes says it will take between 8 and 11 hours to download the OS (5.0.1). But I never have that long a stretch of uninterrupted electricity or internet. Every blink off and I have to start again at zero. Bit torrents are already an old technology. What gives? Basically, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UPDATE MY IPOD. And probably not my macbook.

    If the music on the iPod was purchased through iTunes you can try Transfer Purchases.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name on the left side of the iTunes window under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. That should transfer the music into the iTunes library on the Mac.

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.
