iTunes 4.6 not transferring fairplay version 2 songs to iPod (solution=gmail invite)

Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. I have been successfully transferring songs onto my iPod for a good long while, regardless of whether they were Fairplay Version 1 or 2.

However, since I downloaded iTunes 4.6 (at least I believe this is when the problem started), iTunes will not allow me to transfer Fairplay v2 songs to my iPod -- I use manual song management, and the drag-and-drop method won't work for these songs. (I don't get an error message, just the barred-circle symbol when I try to drop the file.)
Even those Fairplay v2 songs that I already succesfully transferred to my iPod (pre-upgrade) will not transfer now. Fairplay v1 songs still transfer fine.

Any suggestions? If it helps, I have a gmail invite for whoever solves the problem . . . THANKS!

1-Did you upgrade your software to 2.2 for the iPod? If not you need to do this first. Go here: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
Download and install the update to the iPod. Then try the transfer to the iPod and see if it works.

Welcome to the lounge, glad to have you here. You are amoung friends here. Hope you stay a long while.

Report back and post if it worked because you didn't say that you updated the iPod when you updated iTunes. They both must be updated for the iPod to work with iTunes.

Well that was a piece of cake. Works like a charm now.

Thanks for your (very quick) help! I had considered downloading the firmware, but for about 25 reasons (number 1 being that I hadn't had a single problem with iTunes 4.5, and I thought the upgrade was to solve problems with 4.5 . . . also, I bought my iPod after the firmware release date, and I assumed the iPod would have arrived from the Apple store fully updated), I decided not to. Guess I learned my lesson now . . .

So yeah, thanks again. Are you interested in that gmail invite?
