HELP! iTunes won't let me put music on my iPod

I need help, whenever i try to transfer my music on to my iPod, for itunes, it won't let me put it on my iPod.
I NEED HELP!!!!!
Windows XP

Okay, I see.
That's most likely because you are automatically syncing your iPod.
If you click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab, you are probably selected for "Sync", and either selected playlists, or all songs.
On the Syncing optoin, you cannot drag files to your iPod without setting up your iPod for manually managing, perhaps just temporarily.
See this for details on manually managing your iPod:

ITunes won't let me transfer songs to my iPod

iTunes used to let me transfer songs fine, but now it transfers a few and then tells me the file is "corrupt" and that the disc "cannot be read from or written to." Please help -- restoring the iPod hasn't worked at all!

See this troubleshooting article.
Disk cannot be read from or written to error syncing iPod in iTunes.

Out of no where, itunes won't let me add music to my ipod touch.

I have itunes 10.4.1 and ipod is 4.2.1. Please help, this is so frustrating! It won't let me drag and drop and it won't work by right clicking either.

I had a similar problem recently after an update. Midway through the update, I got a user error that said I had to wipe the device and restore to factory settings. After I did that, I restored from a recent back up. When I did that it would not allow me to add recently purchased music to playlists on the device. I could not figure out how to fix this anywhere. Finally, in iTunes I clicked on my iTouch on the list on the right. Then in the big box on the left I clicked on summary. Then I scrolled to the bottom where "Options" was displayed. I clicked on "Manually manage music and videos" and then "apply". Suddenly, I could add music to my established playlists on my device! Hooray! Perhaps this happened to you and that box is unchecked? Good luck.

Itunes won't let me transfer tunes to my iPod touch

Itunes has stopped transferring music to my iPod touch even though I have enough room on it . I can still transfer to my ipad though , this has been going on fro two weeks and is very frustrating . I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it several times but it makes no difference . I am using windows 7 . Sometimes on start up I get a message which tells me that itunes is not communicating with my ipod properly and gives me an option to try and fix it but even though I press ok , nothing changes . Please help I am going stark staring mad

- Try another cable unless the other device works OK witht he same cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1386 New version of iTunes won't let me move music to my iPod.

How do you move music from your iTunes library to your iPod with the new version of iTunes?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

Itunes won't let me sync songs onto my ipod from my itunes library

i just want my music on my compuer on my ipod lol

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Iphone on Itunes won't let me select music

Got a new computer, all was going well. Now I find that when I plug in my Iphone Itunes won't let me select music folders to sync, it is all grayed out. It sees the Iphone , charges it and lets me change applications. Just not music or Photos. I removed Itunes then dowloaded it to see if that would help. It didn't.

The iPhone does not support disk mode, and in regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos from a different computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
Did you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with photos and all other important data?

ITunes won't let me put music from Frostwire on it

My computer had a trojan on it, but luckily I got it off using Malaware. After I got it off, iTunes will not let me put music from Frostwire on it anymore. Ive done this with hundreds of songs before the virus, but now it won't seem to let me.
Please help me!
Thanks!

I'm not surprised to read you got some malware. It may have come from a Frostwire download.
Downloading "free" p2p music isn't so shiny anymore, is it.
My advice is to get your music from legal sources, and you will have no trouble adding them to itunes.
If I am misunderstanding Frostwire and it's a legal music downloading service, I am sure their support forums can help.

TS1538 iTunes won't let me sync! 3rd gen ipod touch

My iPod touch 3rd gen is seen by windows, seen by itunes, but when I click on the device on the sidebar to bring up the information, it just says "ipod" where my music selection usually is. Just a big frustrating white screen that won't let me do anything. I've spent the last hour going through all Apples troubleshooting and still nothing. Re-installed the drivers; started and stopped apple mobile device whatever, went through EVERY SINGLE STEP listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410 and nothing. Reset my computer, restarted the device multiple times, restarted itunes, disonnected, re-connected, held both home and sleep button past the "turn off device" screen, nothing. Any idea's on why this doesn't work now that I've done a factory reset?

You should have all of your music on the new computer, assuming you have used your backup copy to put the music on the new computer.
When you sync, it will erase the ipod and put the content from the new computer on the ipod ( which should be the same, since it came from your backup copy).

ITunes won't let me transfer some of my music to my iphone

Hopefully someone can help me with this issue: I have recently had to rebuild my entire library (lesson learnt:always do a back up), however since doing that back up my iTunes has decided to pick and choose what I can put on my iPhone. For example: I had an album on the phone that had no artwork so i wanted to transfer the new version with the artwork but iTunes won't sync it with the phone yet it did for other albums. All my music is working fine in iTunes.
I have the 'Manage Music Manually' box ticked and have always done that with my phone and iPod but now I'm running into problems.
Both my iTunes and iPhone are up to date.
P.S. My OS on mt laptop is Windows 7
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

LadyLaRee, I can understand how losing contacts can be frustrating! First, which Android do you have? If you have numbers from Facebook, those cannot be edited because the information is coming from the user's Facebook profile. Also, your contacts from Yahoo may only have the email address which is why it is showing that way. They would need to update the number on their profile. The settings will vary by phone, but if you open your contacts, press the Menu button, you will normally have options for View or something similar. You can select which contact groups you want to show or not. Verify which options are checked. You can deselect Facebook or Yahoo if you choose. You will also have an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.

Itunes won't let me transfer new music to my iPhone 4S

I recently had an issue with Filevault and unfortunately had to have my Macbook Pro wiped clean. I have yet to transfer all of my old files from my external hard drive back on to my computer, but since then have downloaded some new music. I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4S with my computer in order to transfer music on to my phone through iTunes for the past few days and it just won't let me. I have tried troubleshooting using a few websites, and have made sure that allowing iTunes to automatically sync when I plug in my iPhone through a USB port is checked. I really would like to put new music on my phone. Please help!

Hi there elliephantttt!
Sometimes the most reliable way to sync your phone with your computer will be through a manual sync. You can set up your computer to manage your phone this way by following the steps in this article:

Hope that helps you sync with your computer! Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

ITunes won't let me transfer all of the songs on my iPod to my library!

Okay, I have had an iTunes account & iPod on a desktop computer for the past 3 years that my parents set up. (I get a monthly allowance that's linked to my parent's credit card.) I just downloaded iTunes onto my new laptop (this computer), and followed instructions to transfer my music from my iPod to my laptop library. It only worked for about half of my songs, and told me that this computer (the laptop) was not authorized to play the songs that had not transferred. I re-authorized the computer, to no avail. Anyone able to help?
(Also, on my iTunes display, there is no "shopping cart", just "store" and "purchased". Why is this?)

If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...
