Why can't I transfer songs from iTunes into my iPod first gen' ?

I need help people! I've managed to fully sync the iPod to e computer but the songs just do not appear in e iPod even when it says," transferring songs"

Are you using the same iTunes account as you did, when you bought the songs in iTunes?
Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

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 load my songs from itunes to my Ipod. How can I get help?

I have a new iPod. I have succesfully installed iTunes on my computor and loaded music from my CD's. I can't download the songs from iTunes to my iPod Nano. I took it into Best Buy and the Geeksquad people loaded some of their songs. I came back and removed the software and reloaded it from the Apple website, and that didn't help a bit. What do I do?

go to file update your ipod and all the songs should go on the ipod unless theirs something wrong with yhe cord

I can't copy purchased songs from iTunes onto my iPod on my new computer.

I have an HP Pavilion zd7000 notebook computer. It's used. It was given to me by a family member. I put my iPod software onto it. I can purchase songs from iTunes, and I can connect my iPod and play the music. However, when I tried to put a purchased song from iTunes onto my iPod, I was told that I wasn't allowed. Is there some sort of security thing I don't know about?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
For details, see this Apple article:
About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
I hope this helps you,

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.

When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

When I transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem. Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

How do i transfer songs from itunes to my ipod

I tried to transfer a song that i bought from the itunes library to my ipod but a message always pops up that says i am not authorized to play it on my computer. what does this mean and how do i put the song on my ipod?

You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

I got an ipod touch 5th generation yesterday :) I can not sync the songs from itunes t my ipod !!!! I did it with my old ipod (nano) !! I dont have any restrictions on it or anything !! I dont know what to do !! PLEASE HELP

I cant get songs from itunes to sync!!!!!

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

Hi A
Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.

Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

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?

Why can't I transfer files from Itunes to Iphone

I just updated my itunes to 10.6 and my iphone 4s to ios 5.1.1.
My problem is that none of the files I want to tranfer from Itunes to Iphones doesn't transfer.
I tried to transfer music,apps,photos but none of them was tranfered.
Can anyone please help me??

You can try to repair your library. Once you are sure the files are all taken care of, you can sync the phone to remove all of the music and then sync again to add it back. That should take care of the issue.

Upgrading Ipod to touch...able to transfer songs from itunes to new ipod?

I'm upgrading my ipod to a touch. Will I be able to transfer all of my songs from my library to my new ipod? I guess I was under the assumption that you can only have one ipod synced to your library.

this may help

Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.
