Why can't I get music from my computer on to my ipod?

I have the music I need from a CD on my PC.  I can not get the music to then transfer to my iPod.  The computer is authorized, but I have never been able to transfer music.  Please help.

Your computer should not need to be authorised in order to put music from CDs onto your iPod.

What happens when you try?
How do you try to put the music onto the iPod, are you using the Sync method or are you using Manually Manage?
You have imported this CD music into your iTunes Library, haven't you? (I see no mention of iTunes, which is why I ask.)
Even more basic, you have installed iTunes on your PC, haven't you?

  • I can no longer get music from my computer to my ipod

    This has been a problem since the update to ios7. How can I resolve this issue? I've tried resets, and I've tried unsyncing, resyncing and so forth. It always gets stuck on 'waiting for changes to be applied'. This is incredibly frustrating. I have built my music library over many years, and I spent a lot of money on this ipod. I currently have Windows XP and an Ipod fiifth gen, updated to the most recent update. My itunes is also updated to the most recent update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Try
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

  • Why can I not order music from other countries

    Hello,
    why can I not order music from either germany or austria if the canadian itunes does not have it?
    I don't mind paying in euros or paypal, which ever.
    I think the stores should be compatable or should allow buying from another country.
    Thanks, Ingo

    The short answer is that the content owners do not allow Apple to sell content across country borders. It's not by Apple's choice.
    Regards.

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

    That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
    You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

  • Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

    Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
    The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
    have tried many times, what am I wrong?
    Thank you in advance!

    Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
    I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
    In your itunes client music library:
    Right click on one music file
    Hover over the Add to Playlist option
    Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
    See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

  • I can't upload the music from my computer to my I touch. But I can upload photos.

    I can't upload the music from my computer to my I touch. But I can upload photos.

    iTunes will only copy Apple purchases from your device, it won't copy music bought from other sites or that you've copied from CDs. Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new Mac ? That would be the quickest method but homesharing on itunes is also a possibility. Click here to see that:

    If not then third party software will be able to copy and paste your files however depending on the file size, they may charge money for their service.
    Hope this helped!

    How can I transfer the music from my computer to my iphone?
    How can I detele the items that i have already added?

    Via the iTunes sync process.
    And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.
