Songs in library won't load onto ipod

I am having the same problem and came here looking for help so maybe someone can help 2 birds with 1 stone 🙂

PC Windows XP

I'm having this issue as well. Some of the songs are ones I ripped from already purchased CD's... but some of the songs that won't download onto my ipod from my itunes are ones that I bought through itunes! These issues came to light when I had to completely uninstall both itunes and quicktime to update them correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are the songs in the correct format? They must be mp4. Here is a link you can go to to get a converter program. I've never used it but it is recommended in these forums.

Scratch that link 🙂 that is for video. You still need to make sure that the songs are in mp4 format otherwise they won't work. I believe that they should be converted by iTunes, I can't remember how I did it 🙂 sheeesh, it's h### getting old.

Check to see if you have your settings to "manually manage music and videos"

You said you've tried to "sync"

Have you just tried to "drag and drop"?

Rebooting your computer should not cause the problem of not being able to transfer your ITunes/ CD music to your IPOD.

Do a manual Reset on IPOD--by selecting
Menu and Center simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do this several times, then re-try IPOD , ITunes music or CD song transfer!!
Then see if this makes a difference> you need to verify if the problem is with your Windows,Computer operation, ITunes, IPOD; etc. first

To "drag and drop" content into the iPod is done by switching your settings to "Manually manage music and videos".

You can't drag files to your iPod when you're syncing; this method is only if you are doing things "manually".

After you've switched your settings to "manually manage", you should be able to go to the "Library", and drag files from the library areas to your iPod (in the source list), using your main selection mouse button (usually is the left button) to select the file, and drag them.

Hello again. Well with windows you need to open up File Explorer. Then click on "Tools", scroll down to "Folder Options". Then click on "View" and scroll down (if needed) and take the checkmark out of "Hide extensions of known file types". Click "Apply", then click "Ok". After this you will be able to see the extension name of all the files on your hard drive, well except for your system files. The mp4 part will be on the tale end of the filename. Example: Judy.mp4
Hope this helps ya.
