6085 - problems with displaying and playing music ...

Before the recent software update, I could load music files, manage them, and play them back easily. Life was good.
Now I get goofy results when I drag and drop music files into my 6085.
When I play them via Music Player, I find them in the Unknown Artist folder, along with any other files I've added since the update. They're mingled together, which spoils continuity.They play one after another so I can keep both hands on the steering wheel.
When I use the Gallery to get to the music, I see the folder I transferred that contains the files. When I open it and start the playback, the Nokia plays the first song, but to hear the next I have to manually advance. This isn't good at 65 mph on a tight curve....
When I view the contents of the memory card via Windows Explorer, all the folders and files show up, including the ones that don't appear via Music Player.
Any ideas on straightening this out?
Thanks in advance.

I finally got around to backing up the files, and resetting the phone. No go. When I transfer music, it still ends up in the Unknown Artist folder on the phone itself. Yet when I use Windows Explorer, I see the folder among all the other music folders.
I draw the songs from "My Music" on my computer. The record for each file includes the name of the song, the title (I used a freeware to add this); in each of these fields, the name of the song is preceded by a number from 01 to xx. Each one also has the artist, album title, and track number (the numbers correspond to the name and title fields).
I use Nokia Suite to establish the folder, convert the songs to m4a, and drag-and drop them to the phone icon.
Before the recent major upgrade, I used the exact same approach of adding the title field, since they seemed to load out of sequence. Yet I can't get the songs to display in Music Player, and via the Gallery they play one at time.
Any further insights -- anyone?
Thanks.
Bill

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.

Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

Hello All!
I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

I have a 3GS and the ios is 4.3.4. I am trying to load the latest version so I can then get the icloud.
So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will. This is how iOS upgrades work. The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
Close iTunes
Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
While holding SHIFT launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one. Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

Problems with pausing and playing again

Whenever I'm listening to a song by The Ramones, then i pause for a second and play it again it skips to the next song. It is only with songs by The Ramones though. If anyone can help please post.

Ryan,
Have you tried re-importing the songs from the Ramones? If not I wouldtry that first. Other than that I can only think of restoring the Shuffle. (Making sure that you have the latest version of the iPod shuffle software) Start the iPod updater program, (Without the iPod attatched) insert the iPod and click "Restore". This will wipe your shuffle clean of all music and put it at factory settings but is normaly one of the first thins one tries when troubleshooting.

Hope this helps, let us know if either of those suggestions works

A problem with Itunes and adding music to library

I've been using my Ipod touch for about a month now (recently purchased). I first connected my Ipod to my laptop, because my desktop needed a format and reinstall of the OS, so I wanted to be slightly organized with it. I finally got around to formatting the desktop to WinXP pro, and have all my programs installed successfully.
Here's the issue:
With my laptop, I could start Itunes, and I did NOT have every song I have as my library, only a few songs that I personally selected and added to library (by clicking on "CTRL+Highligh" or File-->Add file to library). When I did that, I could hold down CTRL and highlight up to 15-20 songs at once, and have them show up in my library as added, then sync them to my Touch.
Since coming to my desktop with my Ipod, and moving all my music from my laptop over to my desktops C: drive, I've hooked up my Ipod and (of course installed Itunes) authorized my desktop for my Touch.
I begain selecting the music I wanted...My directory setup is as follows:
My Music: folders inside of
Itunes directory
Mp3 Directory
My Itunes settings are selected as My Music-->Itunes as the folder. I open Itunes, select add song to library, and it only allows me to highlight UP to 5 songs at once and add them. Any number between 1 and 5 songs will add to my library just fine. If i try to select over 5 songs, like 6-20 songs at once (using CTRL) it does nothing, and doesnt place any of the selected songs in my library. It will allow me to select individual songs just fine, and like I said, I can select UP TO 5 songs, highlighted with CTRL, and they show up just fine (all 5 songs will show in the library.)
Any number of songs selected with CTRL over 5, does nothing.
I dont understand why, when I used this very technique on my laptop, and I could select up to 30 songs at once (using ctrl+highlight) and they would ALL show up as they are supposed to. Everything is nearly the same on here, my settings are all pretty much the same as my laptop's settings were...anyone have any ideas? this has been bugging me all morning, and I've spent so much time fooling with it that I only have 56 songs out of 6,000 on my Ipod touch (I also decided to rid myself of music I didnt listen to and restored/formatted my ipod so I could start over)...I need more than 56 songs, but I dont want to do them 1 or 2 at a time, then go back and have to hit CTRL+O or File--->add file to library.
What causes me to be limited to 5 or less songs per time to add to my library?

Because I wasn't aware that the library could be "taken" from pc to pc. The processor on my desktop is also hyper-threaded, which simulates it having 2 processors..and moving file NAMES, not moving the files into the library is NOT a processor intensive function. It's actually just taking the file location - directory, and name, and making it show in the library..not moving the actual file itself and making a copy of it in the Itunes folder. I do NOT allow itunes to make copies of files that it keeps in the library (I uncheck allow Itunes to organize and make copies of files added to library).
So adding to my library is as simple as making the library show the file name, and pointing to the location on disk, not actually making a copy of the file in the background and placing it into a folder inside the Itunes folder.
Had I KNOWN I could take my library off the desktop and move it, I would've made it easier on myself, but I thought I posted that I just recently bought this Ipod touch (about a month ago).

Problems with sync and the music player

Ok, here we go. my problems started when I bought a mac (I used to have a pc) I transfered all my music and apps to my new mac then... when I tried to sync with my Iphone 4s all my contacts were erased! D: but i think that was because the new computer didnt have a thing, well... thats not the deal, the thing is im not sure if the iphone is recognizing this new computer as the one hehe, the main, so it can save the backup and all that stuff. I have already autorized this mac, and I have checked the option to sync information, music, videos, and photos. After all of that I sync the music and see what happened! it happened to all of the abecedary, I have already turn the device off, sync again and nothing. someone can help me please?

Please someone help me

Multiple problems with iTunes and iPhone Music

ok... so no one tell me to check and uncheck sync all, blah blah blah... I have done everything in every combination. I have disabled the "Show All Music" slider on my iPhone... I do not use the cloud for music, nor do I use iTunes Match.
It first started with my music app on the iPhone just darting from song to song, none of them playing except for a few random ones every now and then.
I unsynced my music from the iphone and resynced, which worked - but now I have over 1000 duplicates on my iPhone that are NOT in my iTunes.
When going back to unsync all songs, I am still left with over 1400 songs on my iphone "about" screen, yet iTunes says that there are no songs on the iPhone under "on this iPhone"
I am truly at my wits' end here. And from the looks of it, Apple has really screwed the pooch on this one.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all??? Will update as I continue to work on this mess.

Is it possible for the Touch to work with Airport and play music wirelessly

Is it possible for the Touch to transmit music via the Airport Extreme to my Hi Fi?

No. But you can use it as a remote control for a current Mac - AirTunes -Airport Express setup with Remote Buddy (link).
The Airport Extreme Base Station doesn't have an audio facility:

Problems With Syncing and Audio Play with Itunes

I've been having a problem with Itunes and my iPhone for the past few days. First of all, iTunes will not play any songs. When I press the play button, the speaker changes to the play picture, and the song loads at the top, but the timer stays stuck on zero. Also, when I attempt to sync my iPhone it will not add new songs downloaded onto my phone. I have updated and re-installed iTunes and it has not helped. Also, tonight I even updated my phone settings (which I interestingly enough was able to do despite the fact that I cant get a song to transfer to my iPhone, yet somehow the new program settings were able to make the jump.)
I am using Windows Vista at the moment. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried backing up you iPhone and copying over everything to iTunes etc.Apps,Videos...Then Restoring to factory setting?
If that doesn't work try Manually Managing you Music and Videos.

How is your iPhone's display different?
You can check the model number by going to Settings/General/About. These are the model numbers for the various 3 GS models;
MB715LL/A (16 GB Black), MB716LL/A (16 GB White), MB717LL/A (32 GB Black), MB718LL/A (32 GB White), MC555LL/A (8GB)

Problems with X-Fi Xtreme Music and Virtual Instrume

I am using Cakewalk's Sonar Home Studio 6?XL and MOTU Symphonic Instrument. I have some virtual instruments that are less detailed that seem to run great, but so far I can't play MOTU SI in stand alone mode without getting po
ps.
I can play it in Cakewalk, but I can not assign a MIDI file to it and have it play it without getting the same kind of pops I was getting in stand alone mode. I read an earlier post about problems with NVidia and that is the maker of my motherboard. I have not had any problems with the pops in instances where I am just playing audio from a CD or?by playing a wav. or mp3. I bought this card because of the the ASIO?2.0 compatibility, but I am starting to have my doubts on whether or not this card can handle what Creative claims. Anyone got any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get.

Have You forget? You are back in the 80's again! Use Creative Cr..s Mode Switcher and manually switch to Game Mode. And don't forget to manually switch to other Mode before launching any other applications. If You don't have Mode Switcher (Volume Panel) in system tray and obvoiusly don't have any system slowdowns and not experioncing high RAM usage that means You don't have Creative Bloatware installed. You can find it on X-Fi instllation CD.
Have fun and thank Creative marketing and programming crews for this! Message Edited by cryogenic on 06--2006 0:09 AM
