Why won't a U2 CD I own transfer songs from iTunes onto iPod?

New iPod user, first CD I tried to upload happened to be a U2 children's instrumental CD and iTunes says the songs won't play on my iPod. I converted them to AAC to try and fix it but that didn't do it. Is this only b/c it's U2 or symptom of something else?
Thanks!
Drew

It is because U2 hates you!
No wait, that's not it. Ok have you tried a second or third CD? Let's try that first, import a few CDs and see what happens, especially some old ones before CD copy protection schemes were tried. If ALL the stuff still doesn't go into the iPod, then it must be something up with iTunes, the iPod, or your setup. If the other ones go in and just not U2, then U2 really does hate you, err, ummm, I mean, there must be something about that one particular CD.

  • 1st generation won't transfer songs from iTunes without factory reset

    Hi, my 1st gen won't transfer newly purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried checking for downloads but it checks and states "just checked for downloads"
    Also attempted restarting, but that didn't help. Only way I can get it to transfer is a factory reset.

    ones had an issue a bit like that with my 1g Apple TV what fixed it for me was to unpair the computer in the appletv settings and then rebind it
    sure it took ages to sync everything over again but it fixed it
    think I've done it 2 times over the years

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie from itunes onto our apple tv?

    Can you pleaes tell me why it is not documented that you have to wait several hours to download a film from itunes store onto our apple tv, stupidly we thought this would be instant!  We have changed our download resolution but still no help!!

    Because you apprently have a very serius network issue.  Purchased TV Shows and Movies can generally be viewed with in about 30 sec. of buying them.  I believe rented shows have to be fully downloaed before they can be viewed which depending on your internet connetion could take several hours or longer.

  • Why can't I import my songs from iTunes onto my nano?

    I installed the software after I got my new nano and I transferred my already downloaded mp3s into the iTunes library. I'm trying to import them and it won't let me. What do I do now? Please help!

    Angie,
    Sorry for not being more specific last time--here's a little clearer explanation:
    - Connect your nano to your computer and wait for iTunes to start up
    - Your nano will show up as an icon in iTunes
    - Go to the Edit Menu & select 'Preferences'
    - Click on the iPod tab
    - Click the button for 'Automatically update selected playlists only'
    - Select only one playlist (for now) so that everything will fit on your nano
    - Allow iTunes to update your nano
    - When update is complete, click on the nano icon--you should see the appropriate playist (greyed out because it's updated automatically)
    - Click on the playlist and you should see the same songs as are in the playlist on your computer (again, greyed out)
    If all of the above works, you can now start creating smart playlists specifically for your nano. Here's one that I use that I named 'nano Jazz':
    - Match the following rule: Genre contains Jazz
    - Limit to 40 songs selected by random
    - Match only checked songs
    - Live updating
    The 'nano Jazz' playlist is one of my selected playlists to update automatically. Now, if I wanted to have the songs change, all I have to do is delete one in the playlist (not in the Library) and another pops in. I could get even fancier and add a rule that would select songs that haven't been played for a while, or that have a low or high playcount, etc., etc.
    Well, hope this didn't get too long. You can see how cool this whole setup is--not just an MP3 player, but an entire smart audio experience. (Wow, sounds like a commercial... .
    Have fun!
    Regards,

  • IPod Touch won't let me transfer songs from iTunes; songs are grey

    I got a new iPod touch about a month ago and transferred my entire library (about 6000 songs) just fine. Now, though, I find out that not all songs transferred (initially, I selected my entire library and dragged the songs over...i don't want to auto-sync my library, preferring to manage my library manually). So now, iTunes won't let me drag any songs over, and when I highlight my iPod in the menu, all my songs are grey and I can't select them to edit the information or anything.
    Any ideas? thanks, in advance, for your help.

    Did you check if the restrictions for iTunes are activated in Settings/General/Restrictions?

  • ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

    I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

    I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
    I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

  • 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 won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

    why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

    Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
    Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

  • Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Here's one of my responses from Verizon:
    Dear Kevin,
    Good Afternoon; I know how frustrating it is to want a new phone, and be told that you are not eligible to upgrade early. My name is Shane, and I will be assisting you today regarding your most recent email.
    I am sorry to say that it is not possible for us to do the upgrade. We most certainly don’t want to lose a valued customer, but we can’t break our contract with Apple. If we did this for you, we would have to do it for everyone. If we did this for everyone we would risk losing our contract with Apple, and not be able to sell iPhones at all. I understand it is a savings to cancel your contract with us, and move to another provider we certainly don’t want you to do that, but that is an option for you.
    Kevin, I am sorry that we were not able to give you the resolution you were wanting. I do appreciate you being a valued Verizon Wireless customer, and I hope you have a good day!
    Sincerely,
    Shane
    Verizon Wireless

  • HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

    I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

    Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

  • Why is it that whenever I download a song from Itunes that a small grey round button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress button), but when I press on it to resume, the song disappears. This wasn't happening before.

    Why is it that whenever I download a song from itunes that a small grey button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress) but whenever I hit it to resume, the song disappears. I am getting annoyed with having to copy the songs manually onto my phone. Thanks for anyones help. Cheers

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.
