Why can't I transfer a song to my iPod Touch after I have deleted it from my iPod?

The song is still in iTunes but won't transfer to my iPod any more. I used to do this weekly - adding songs to use for Story Times and then deleting them. I could always transfer them again. Now I can't. I have only noticed this since the latest update.

What model iPod do you have? On the 4G and later can play/sync HD videos. You may have t use a third-party program to convert to compatible format.

  • Why can't I access the songs on my ipod after the software update?

    I own three ipods (60G video, 30G video, and 4g mini) which I load on three different computers. I manually update them. I load music from my CD collection and they eacg have different music on them. The 30G was a recent purchase (used) and the first time that I hooked it up it required that I update my software (I have only done this on one of my computers). After the update, when the Ipod loads, the itunes shows the number of songs on the ipod but will not display the actual songs. None of the songs on the ipod are in any of my existing libraries as I tend to clear the librarries after loading the songs so that i do not fill up my computers with this stuff. Is there some setting that I should change to be able to view and modify these old songs on my Ipod short of blowing them all out and starting AGAIN? My Ipod video probably has 8,000 songs on it so I am not thrilled about starting again. Also, i can no longer play them through my computer because it will not pull up the list. Any advice would be appeciated. Thanks

    Such a simple fix. I really did look at a lot of reference stuff to find the answer but could not.
    true story ... back in the day, it took me about 20-30 minutes of quiet desperation to work out what the new rules for this were with the 7.0.x versions ...
    i defer to Zevoneer when it comes to recovering music off an ipod. his post here may be of some assistance:

  • Why can't I keep my songs on my ipod and still sync a movie?

    I am new at this.. I bought a movie and want to sync it to my iPhone/iPod but a message tells me I will lose my music when I sync the movie.  Why can't I have the music and movie?  Why does one replace the other? I appreciate the help you can give me.  Thanks!

    Thank You.  I will work with the information you gave me and see if I can
    learn what is going on.

    Subject:        Why Can't I Put My Clips on Certain
    Video and Audio Tracks?
    Any kind of source video can go on any video track in a sequence.
    Therefore, it's the audio that is causing the problem.
    Your source clips can have three potential audio channel assignments
    (actually, there are more, but they are just combinations of these three).
    A source clip can have mono audio, stereo audio, or 5.1 audio.
    Correspondingly, there are specific types of audio tracks that must be in
    a sequence in order for source clips with specific source channels to be
    edited into them. If you drag a clip to a sequence, and there is not an
    audio track that matches the source channels of the source clip, a new
    track will be created that matches, e.g. a stereo track for a stereo
    source clip. However, if you try to insert or overlay a source clip into a
    sequence that doesn't have a matching track, the audio will be ignored.
    In the sequence, you can tell what sort of audio track you're working with
    if you look for the little speaker icon that appears just to the right of
    the track header label (Audio 1, Audio 2, etc.). A single speaker is mono,
    a double speaker is stereo, and "5.1" is displayed for 5.1. You can add
    tracks manually by right-clicking the header area and selecting Add
    Tracks, or going to Sequence > Add Tracks.
    It sounds like you're working with media with various audio assignments;
    the Project Panel display will tell you how many channels are in your
    source clips if you don't know for sure. Once you know that, you can
    control where your clips go when you attempt to add them to a sequence.

  • Why can't I transfer HD movies to my iPod?

    I can transfer about 90% of my movies, but the two I just bought on a blu-ray+dvd+digital copy (which show us as HD in my library) won't transfer. Accorcing to iTunes, my device can't play them. why is this?

  • Why can't I erase the songs on my ipod on Itunes?

    I opened up Itunes and it started loading all the music in my library to my ipod. I stopped it, but now i cannot seem to erase the songs from Itunes. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I was thinking if I let all the songs download onto the ipod i could then delete the songs.

    I'm clicking, but there is no tab or anything that
    says restore.
    On the Summary screen there's "iPod" showing a picture of your iPod, name, software version, serial number and format.. . NEXT there's Version, under which there's the text:
    "If you are experiencing problems..." and a restore button. IF you don't see that , then you'll either have to expand the iTunes window or scroll the summary screen.

  • How Can I get rid of a download, it won't stop processing? Even after I have deleted image from videos?

    How do I delete a download as it won't stop processing? I have even deleted the image from videos but it is still in my download saying processing. Help?

    Hi Sanjampet,
    Yes, it was a folder from a website. It was a backup of a website (the website was hacked into at one point if that matters). I kept the backups in a folder on my laptop. I was able to delete the other backups, but this one was giving me an issue for some reason. The other day when I was having this issue and you were trying to help me solve it, it was showing that I only had (about) 158 GB of memory left on my computer, but when I was finally able to delete the folder and all of its content it was showing that I had over 250 GB of memory left. I don't understand how a website's backup folder can be that large :S Was that why I was having so much trouble doing anything with it?
    I could drag the entire folder into the trash can, but if I tried to empty the trash it would just do what was showing in the picture from my original post
    Thank you so much!

  • HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

    On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
    No need for such a gross over reaction.

    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.

  • 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 .
