Itunes to ipod

Why does my computer say I can't play some songs I download from itunes on my macbook or put them on my ipod.

It sounds like you need to authorize that computer to play music from your iTunes Store account.

  • Certain apps won't transfer from itunes to ipod

    I have the latest updates for itunes and ipod touch.
    Today I noticed several of my apps are no longer visible on my ipod. I say "visible" because when I try to re-download them from the app store, the ipod thinks I already have them and therefore the app store does not give me a download button.
    I transferred my apps from the ipod to itunes, and low and behold, the missing apps transferred to itunes. They will not sync back to the ipod, unfortunately. I can delete the app from itunes, but after syncing, the ipod still thinks it exists and I'm unable to download it again.
    This issue only affects a few apps, specifically netflix, goodreads, and redbox, to name a few.
    Any ideas about how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
    Any

    - Have you uses the SpotLight search on the iPod to look for the apps? Maybe they are there but you can't find them (e.g., hidden in an app folder or, if you have all eleven app screen filled they are not visible).
    - Could you have restrictions set on the iPod that is "hiding" them and preventing their use? Setting>General>Restrictions.

  • Accessibility of iTunes and iPod for Blind users

    In any of the updates to Itunes or Ipod has the ability to use the product by the Blind been considered? Being a Low-Vision/Blind user I think accessibilty has gotten worse instead of better. This is not just an Itunes on Windows Issue. Itunes on the Mac barily works with VoiceOver
    In 7.0.X here are a few things that broke.
    1. The Album flipping view mode cause Screen Magnifiers to have problems with Overlay and the Album art is not magnified.
    2. No way to navigate the Itunes store if you are totally blind. Why not just let us browse it in Internet Explorer or Firefox and then download afterwords into Itunes.
    3. Standard methods for navigating Menus, Tree Views (source list / playlist side) do not work always and some times have very unexpected results.
    There are very easy ways to fix this. As you are updating the application make sure that each control or widget gets its own MSAA information. On the Mac side make your developers actually follow your own standards for accessibility even if it means rewriting the program. Well they are at it they can fix most of iLife and Pages.
    Now onto the Ipod 3g 4g 5g and the Nano 1g and 2g, These devices with some practice can be used by a blind person if they are setup correctly by someone sighted. Thats all well and good except if you just went out and bought a shinny new 80gb Ipod and now don't know how to navigate it. Well the solution to this is actually very easy. Durring startup it could play a quick set of clicks to let a blind user know it is doing something. Then once it is up and running the menu system could playback via the headphones recorded speech files stored in directory already on the shinny new Ipod. Something like "Main Menu" "Music", the user slides their finger around the wheel one spot to the right and "AudioBooks" and so on. Now your question comes to artists and genra's and Album titles. This could be a feature of the new ITunes 7.1.x where when you are syncing your Ipod it goes to the iTunes store and gets the appropiate audio files needed. or using the Very Nice Apple TTS makes the files on the fly and stores them. You say this would use up space on the Ipod, well yes it would and you could make so a sighted user could turn it off until the iPod resets or they if they are really cramped for space could remove the directory with the sounds in it, but restoring the iPod would put these features back in place. These features have more use then just for the blind, who are highest population for buying audio content be it Unabridged audio books, CD's, or from online sources. Once these features are out in the general public and touted as be available you will have the busy business traveler to the jogger using them, epecially when it is not appropriate to take your eyes from something else, like driving. A driver could just reach down and touch the iPod and press the menu key and here "Music Menu", "PlayLists". Now we click the center button and our drivers heres "Gym Workout" clicks the wheel around to the right and heres "Peaceful Drive". He/She press the play button and heres "Playing, Peaceful Drive, 15 items in list" now this next part whould need to be toggleable on and off, while the iPod is cueing up the song it could say the song name and artist but this could be distracting.
    Now if you really got brave with this project you could just add the TTS (Text to Speech) program into the Ipod. It would probably only take as much space as the new games you are selling for the 4g 5g and nano's. I know the Ipod has enough processer power. If it can play compressed video it could be executing a speech synthesizer in the background. With the dropping cost of the iPod I can see you may have to make this an add-on. That would be fine but include like a ten-day trial period with each new firmware update and have it on by default. This way allowing the user base to have time to see what it can do for them. If this is the choice then it should be a very inexpensive addon. Like in the $40 range. With the very extinsive userbase of Ipod's out there the Return on Investment should be very quick. if just 10% of the 300,000 blind people in the USA bought it, that equals 30,000 times $40 equals $120,000. This is not including the Learning Disabled, general poplulation, and people in foriegn countries who would love to have the stuff read it them. Now back to the blind, currently the devices made for the blind that are "accessible" cost from $400 and up that can play digital content not burned to a CD. So, if this was made for the Nano 2g a blind person could spend $200 on the device and $40 on the speech after the ten-days are up or they are coming close. The are still ahead by $160. Now if the person is a eclectic listener like my self then I would buy the 80gb unit at $350 and add the speech for $40 and have all the space I needed for my music, books, and my recordings I do with the Belkin recorder.
    Another feature that should be looked into is the ability to play Daisy Content from Recordings for the Blind and Dislexic http://www.rfbd.org This is the new style of releasing text books to those you can not read regular print. They are stored on a CD in mp3 format with a encryped index. Now this type of thing is not a problem since you already have support for your own and Audible's digital rights management in iTunes and adding another method would not be that hard. An iPod Nano 4gb could hold 6 to 8 books for a Grade School, Middle School, High School, or College student. That would be greate, one small device to play content and no worrrying about what Cd the chapter is on or where you put the CD's, and not having to carry around a CD player just for the books. Also an iPod has become common place enough to not be notices.
    Shawn,
    This will be cross posted to my blog and to the Ipod Forum here. My Blog is located at http://wizardwlf.spaces.live.com

    My goal is not to directly influience Apple. I am trying to influiece you the customer to write feedback to Apple, if not on your own behalf, for your family member who is blind/low vision, a blind co-worker at your office, a friend of a friend even. Apple will see my one comment in feedback and say he is just an extremist and being it is just one comment just ignore it becuase their are much cuter things some marketing person wants them to do. They may just respond with use the Shuffle it doesn't have a screen. Why should the blind be limited to 1GB of space?
    So here is your chance. Talk to your friends who use the Ipod/Itunes, talk to the manager at your local Apple store, tell them all to think about what they could do with a talking iPod, let alone the accessibility this would give the blind.
    The Mimico Kid wrote this in the iTunes Windows Forum
    Shawn,
    I did a quick search of the Apple web site and found a fair bit of information on accessibility issues for the Mac OS X operating system in general (you might want to have a look here if you're interested) but couldn't find anything relating to iTunes for Windows in particular.
    Since Apple has set up these forums for users to help one other with their problems, there isn't much we can do as far as acting on your suggestions. You might want to submit your comments directly to Apple by filling out the forum on this page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html .
    All the best!
    I wrote back:
    Yes that is a pretty advertisement page for the Tiger Accessibility and for the accessibilty of the hardware.
    But what is missing is the same page for iTunes and iPod. Those two products which right now are Apple's Hot market. They do not even train the sales staff in the Apple Stores to use and demonstrate these features to a parent / spouse/ child of someone with a disability.
    VoiceOver is great in the finder and terminal and mostly works in Safarie and Mail. It mostly works in system dialog boxes but forget AppleWorks, GarageBand, Microsoft Office. The ProTools folks are actually working on making that program work with VoiceOver even better.
    My best recommendation to anyone on this forum who is a Mac User. Use SearchLight to find VoiceOver. Now read some of the documentation to get the gist of how it works. Once you have done this, Start VoiceOver and turn off your screen. Try using the keybard commands you just learned or even the ones you think you know in iTunes. You will find it extremely hard to navigate.

  • Full usage of one iTunes account / iPod and two laptops

    Basically, I want to purchase, upload, sync, etc. music files to / from one iTunes account / iPod as necessary via two different laptops (mine and my wife's).
    Does the one iTunes account that we currently have allow for this functionality? If so, it seems I should see the same view from my laptop (as I see from my wife's laptop) when logging onto our iTunes account but I don't...
    When logging in to our iTunes account from her laptop, I see everything. And when logging in from my laptop, I see nothing. While the iPod is up-to-date, I'm afraid to sync using my laptop for fear of losing everything...
    I’ve reviewed the forums as well as the two help topics titled "moving iTunes Store purchases to another computer" and "sharing your iTunes library across computers" but have come up short.
    I hope this makes sense. Please advise...thanks

    Yes you can use the same account with iTunes to login on two computers or even two user accounts on the same computer. Just not at the same time.
    Purchases made on one machine or user account will not be on the other machine unless you transfer the files yourself from machine to machine. If you look at the account info within iTunes your purchase history will include purchases from both machines.

  • Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

    Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy  a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Some features I would love to see in iTunes and iPod

    I love iTunes and iPod. For me they both have worked flawlessly. As good as they are, I would love to see a couple features added.
    I would love to have iTunes and my iPod sync the songs that the iPod played since its last updating into the song count in iTunes in orer to have a more accurate idea of my most listened too songs.
    I listen to an online radio station that uses aacPlus streaming, I would love to see iTunes support aacPlus streaming.
    and last of all but not least of all, in addition to the EQ presents in the iPod, i would like to have an actual EQ with 7 frequency areas that one can adjust asccording to their taste and an actual setting called loudness that adds that extra bit to the punch of the sound.
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to write for wishes such as I have mentioned above, but I guess that I have to have a place to start somwhere so here it is.

    "I would love to have iTunes and my iPod sync the songs that the iPod played since its last updating into the song count in iTunes"
    It does already do this... unless you use manual updating. Under auto updating, tracks played on your iPod should up the count in iTunes on your next sync.

  • Can't see 5gen Ipod in iTunes or Ipod Updater

    Hello I have the new 60gig 5gen ipod, well a few days ago my ipod stop showing up in iTunes or Ipod Updater. I have done every thing said to do here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 except reinstall windows xp, The problem with reinstalling windows is that I do not own a copy of xp, and I dont want to buy it. Does any have any Ideas for me?

    Somebody posted this info yesterday and it worked for me. I had the same problem and after 4 hours of trying to fix it, this worked. The problem seems to be with the upgrades of the IPOD software and Itunes. DO NOT UPDATE THEM.
    To fix. Completely uninstall Itunes and the IPOD programs by using the add-remove in Control Panel. You will also need to go to your C: and delete any remaining folders in Program Files. Then reboot.
    Now disable any antivirus software and disconnect from the internet. Take your orginal CD from your IPOD and load the IPOD software first and then the Itunes program.
    This worked for me after much frustration. Good luck...

  • Purchased songs not showing up in iTunes or iPod

    I have purchased many songs from iTunes, both on my computer and on my iPhone over the past year or so.  However, only some of them are showing up in iTunes and iPod.  I have receipts still from iTunes stating that I paid and purchased them and they were even in my library and on my iPod for some time but I went to listen to a couple of songs yesterday and couldn't find them anywhere; both browsing for the song and the artist.  I went to my computer to see if they where there to re-sync but they were not in my library either.  I'm not sure what happened to them as I haven't done anyting different.  I tried restarting my iPhone and, closing and reopening iPod and even rebooting the computer, still nothing.  I have red some threads stating that you should change the language to French, did that, still nothing.  I'm not sure what the issue is but I have proof that I paid for the songs but they are no longer around.  I'm very frustrated!  Any help would be great.
    I've also been experiencing issues with updating the software.  Sometimes I get a timed out error which is odd since I have an internet connection with no issues.  It gets all the way to the end and won't complete.  I try two or three times and give up and then the next day I may try again and it will work without issues.  I have the iPhone 4 and have software update 4.3.2 but have not successfully done the 4.3.3 yet as I keep getting the update error and it's driving me insane!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!

    on the computers itunes click on the iTunes Store.
    then click Purchased under quick links on the right.
    you can then select Not In My Library and download anything you're missing from there.
