Why can't I get my songs from the computer in our media player library, (ripped from a c.d., ) to sync to the iPod?

Why can't I transfer my music on my computer, media player library, onto the iPod touch? it won't let me sync the songs.??

One thing to consider is this ...what are the files formatted in ? If you ripped your CD's via Windows Media Player default settings , they're in 128k Windows Media Audio files . These files must be converted by iTunes before being allowed into the library .

  • Why can't I get  my songs from iTunes on my laptop on my iPod touch?

    I have recently updated the ios on my Touch to v. 6.  I have over 1,000 songs on iTunes in my new laptop, but for the life of me, every time I sync, it only recognizes the 21 songs already on the touch.  How can I get the songs on iTunes on to the touch?  I've tried all the instructions, but the sync only takes a few seconds and nothing is ever added to my ipod.  This is so frustrating.

    Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
    Then ...
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.

  • Why can't I get a song back on my iPod Touch?

    I acctidentally bought a song i already had while on iTunes on my iPod touch. I didn't want the song twice so I deleted one of them. However, it seems to have deleted both so now the song is not on there at all.  I still have it on my computer however, I am not able to sync the song back on to my iPod for some reason. why is this and how can I get the song back on my iPod? Thanks in advance

  • Why can i not get french songs if i live in america?

    hi i was wondering why i can not purchase french songs or even find French songs on i tunes.
    i found out that i could not do this when i changed my region to French and found a lot of cool songs that i liked. So when I switch back to U.S.A and search for the songs and could not find anything.
    why is this??

    The copyright holders for content vary widely from country to country. Unless the copyright holders for this French content have negotiated a contract with Apple for distribution in the US, there is nothing Apple can do. Also, major record companies DO NOT like cross border sales of music. They can do nothing to stop CD sales, but they do everything they can to block cross-border sales of digital content.

  • Why can't I get certain songs off my iPhone??!

    16 gig iPhone 4S, running iOS 7. I can't delete these stupid songs from the phone and no matter how many times I re-sync they don't go away!!

    These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

  • Why can't I get my audiobooks on my computer?

    Try deleting the account on the iPod and recreating the account.  Sometimes it is easier to renter everything rather than trying to find the error.
    If you need more help please provide any error messages and your email provider.

  • Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

    I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment.  The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!! 
    I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago.  No problem in media payer  - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
    Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
    Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album.  Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

  • Why can't I get a song to load from itunes, or Amazon to the slide show?

    I have created  3 slide shows in Photoshop Elements 11.  No problem until I tried to add audio.  First slide show used song from itunes, no problem, 2nd slide show complete try to add new song I downloaded from itunes JUST for this slide show.  Error message : codec required....I spent the next 3 hours attempting to solve the problem, downloaded same song from Amazon and still will not work.  I have also download Realplayer and still no luck. I even downloaded the song into media of photoshop but can't get it from the organizer to the editor on the slide show.

    For itunes, try deleting the album artwork, then try again.

  • Why can't i get my songs to download?

    I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS 7 update.  Every time I buy a new album on iTunes or I use the iCloud to download a song it gives me a processing or down load error.  What should I do? My hard drive is not full and I have a strong internet connection.

    Hi there lilcv83,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Why can't I download purchased songs on new computer?

    Okay so I'm having a slight issue. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm having issues. I am attempting to download my purchased songs. I am in iTunes and when I attempt to download it prompts me to enter my password. Upon doing this it starts to download then gives me an error message followed by prompting me once again to enter my password. I know this is not a wrong password for sure haha I've double and triple checked. I have tried restarting iTunes my computer an other restart based fixes. Just really unsure what is happening.

    Contact iTunes Support -> http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    As I'm not sure why that would be happening...

  • Why can't I get downloads e.g. Adobe reader 10 with FF Beta4.8 using XP home sp3 and NIS11 when the file downloads and then auto-deletes before I can use it?

    The downloads folder does not save files when they are downloaded.
    problem particularlly with binary files e.g. adobe reader 10
    NIS has been deactivated and problem persists.
    Initially downloads are canceled. When retry option is selected file downloads in window but sub directory shows file while downloading and then it is deleted

  • Why can i not get my amazon intant movies to come up on my apple tv?

    Why can I not get my amazon instant movies to come up on my apple tv from my ipad airplay?

    Not an AppleTV problem as such.
    Many app developers seem to block video airplay of content that you can watch in an app.
    I can only assume this has something to do with rights issues for the movie/show.
    Check on amazon's instant movies site for more info.

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.
