  • Why can't I play songs in my iPod library when it is connected to Itunes?

    My iPod Classic never allows me to play any songs from it;s library when it is connected to iTunes. The songs come up in grey and it is impossible to highlight any of them, or physically do anything with them.

    You cannot play songs on your iPod unless it is ejected using iTunes or disconnected from your computer.

  • Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

    I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

    What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages?  Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
    How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

  • Why can't I play songs on my iPod using iTunes?

    This is probably a simply question and one asked many times. When I attach my iPod, iTunes starts, however, when I click on my iPod icon and Music, all of the songs are 'greyed out' and I'm unable to play them. Is this the norm? and, if not, what can be done to enable playback? Thanks for your help.

    i have a similar problem which i need all your help! just bought a new classic to replace my nano. i have so far loaded approx 3000 songs on to it without a problem, but the songs won't play on the computer - they all show up in the library and any new cd's that i copy are all shown in the library and copy to the ipod and play ok, it's just that none of the songs will play on the computer, when i click on them an explanation mark appeard on the left of the song and a pop up tells me that "song couldnt play because original file couldnot be found, would i like to locate it" - course i would but i can't!! i'm a complete novice at all this and would appreciate any help from you experts.

  • Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

    I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

    What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

  • Why can't i play cw on my ipod touch with the ipico

    how can i play the cw app with my ipico?

    Just what is the cw app and what is ipico?
    I suspect the ipico is a projector. For a 4G and below, TV out only works for apps the specificially support TV out. Thus, it appears that cw does not support TV out.
    The iPod Movie app is supported.

  • 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.

    Try a manual update as defined here:

I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

  • Why can't I add photos to my iPod Touch?

    Using iTunes 10.2.2
    iTunes Help instructions "Add photos to iPod, iPhone, and iPad" just downloaded.
    Instructions say "To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”"
    There is no “Include full-resolution photos.” only an "Include videos"
    Instructions say to "Click Apply."  There is no "Apply."
    I check "Sync Photos From" and select the album I want to sync.
    I click on "Sync Photos From" and get the message:
    "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPod “iPod touch”. Would you like iTunes to remove photos previously copied to your iPod?"
    Why don't the instruction match the iTunes screen?
    How can I add my photos to my iPod Touch?

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. For its location:

  • Why Can't I Add Songs To My Ipod From Another Computer Without Erasing The Ones I Already Have?

    I have an "Ipod Touch 4 generation" and I have two computers located in my home. I have authorized both computers for my ipod. Why is that when I go to a computer and authorize it, it will not let me download the songs on that computer, without erasing the ones I have already on my Ipod?

    Hi
    This is because your iPod can only be synced with one computer, not just one iTunes account.
