Hi, For some reason I cannot move a music file from my Mac to my Ipod Touch.

I used to be able to manually transfer a music file (song) from my Mac to Ipod Touch manually, but now the file won't transfer. Can you help? Tom

Sync with Finder will not transfer music to iPod nano I have a Mac with Monterey and a number of iPod Nanos. In the past I have used iTunes to sync music from my iTunes library. All the music on my iTunes library has been uploaded from CD - not purchased online. I have tried using Apple Music - but I am not prepared to subscribe - so that appears to disable the ability to Sync, and will not add any music to a playlist. I have tried using the 'Sync with Finder' - which can see all the albums in my library but will not transfer/sync to my iPod, although it has deleted music. There are no error messages. Anyone got any ideas as the iPod are excellent bits is kit.

Hi Jeff, I think one time when I tried syncing the Ipod to the music Library, songs were duplicated on the Ipod. It was a while ago, so not exactly sure. Anyway is there a way to manually delete a song on my Ipod Touch? It won't let me do it.

Hi Jeff,

I was able to manually move selected songs from my Mac's ( I have 3 Mac's and 3 Ipods) to my Ipods. I don't want to sync as all of the songs would be duplicated. Am I right?

Tom,

You can manually move the songs to your iPods or you can sync them. The sync process should recognize songs already on the device and not duplicate them.

Regards.
