Q: cant download songs onto all ipods in household

Greetings deb potts,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds to me like you are trying to manually manage the music on your devices by dragging them in iTunes, but only one device allows this method to work. It sounds as though the option for manually managing music and videos may not be selected for the devices that aren't syncing as you would expect. Please use the If you can't manually add or remove content from your device section in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.

Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

Cheers,

Joe
