cannot transfer music on playlist to iPod - urgent
I have a 30 GB iPod Video, and I have recently updated it. I cannot transfer the music on my iTunes playlist to the iPod folder; it gives me a "restricted" icon instead of the plus sign.
If you're set to automatic update, that's unnecessary (and obviously won't work). Under automatic update, iTunes just copies your entire iTunes library (including playlists) to your iPod.
Why do you want to put it on manual update? Just so you can do everything on your own?
To set your iPod to manual update, right click on it in the iTunes source list, and click on "iPod Options." Check "manually update songs and playlists." You can do the same for Podcasts, but not videos.
