Add single file to iPod?

I want to knwo how to get a single song onto my ipod (its a video ipod) without syncing the whole thing (cuz it says that will delete and restore all my songs, which will take forever. Im impatient. Also, I don't want to sync it because the computer I'm on is a family computer, and I don't want all ym mom's songs on my ipod. On my old version of Itunes, i could just hit copy on one of the songs, then paste on my ipod. Now it won't let me on iTunes 7. So does anyone know what to do?

Turn on manually update iPod.

  • Adding a single file to iPod Nano?

    Since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, things don't make a lot of sense. I can manually manage my music, but I can't view my music list and the only way I can get music onto my iPod is to add everything in my library. Is there any way to avoid this and simply add a single file?

    What do you mean you can't see your files? The iPod icon on the left side of iTunes should have a little triangle next to it click it and then click on the little music icom under it and thats where your music should be. You should be able to drag music into the music icon. Make sure that in the "Summary" section of your iPod you have manually manage music selected

  • Add single file to a configuration; simple steps?

    we're creating configurations to spec what a release is comprised of.
    We need to add a single file to a configuration. Oddly we've been guessing about and can't figure this out.
    I'm creating a configuration from a PWA, stripping out all but one file. Then creating a new configuration from another configuration
    (the previous config for this release), then Add member, to add this config. that
    has the single file.
    There has to be simplier steps?
    BTW, the help within RON and the OTN tutorials don't mention this feature on configurations.
    Thanks
    curt

    Here's a work around for adding one or more files to a configuration that works for us.
    Forwarned that this is the long way around but at least it's simple in concept.
    Back ground:
    - one uses configurations to control specific versions of files that describes a release
    - In theory release 1.4 should be based on configuratoin for 1.3 plus or minus files and versions of existing files.
    - My view is that if you break the verifiable inheritance of the next version from the previous
    you are taking a risk.
    Meaning, that the next version should always be based on the configuration of
    the previous release.
    - This procedure breaks the rule the above rule. ;-(
    The work around that I've been able to get to work:
    Short description: create the next cfg from LATEST, then use command line tool (compare cfgprevrelease cfgBasedOnLatest)
    to determine what file versions need to be rolled back to be equal to the previous version, this captures the new files in the latest branch.
    steps:
    - Refresh your PWA to get the latest new files that you need to add to the release cfg
    - create a temp cfg based on a PWA
    - run the CLT compare -rpCfgPrevRel -rpTempCfgBasedOnLatest
    - modify the temp cfg to v1.1 and set the file versions back to the versions in your previous release with exceptions of
    of what files and versions you need in the next release.
    - save
    - Create your real configuration from the twiddled temp cfg.
    - done
    The reason why we use the temp cfg is that we never version a cfg. Our release cfg's are always version 1.0.
    This is mainly folklore, since we name the cfg for the ear name;
    product-v10-04102003 which is the date at the end. So there will never be version 1.1
    of this cfg given the v10 and date.
    I've writen all this down for developers to faithfully reproduce and you may email me for a copy.

  • Can't add m4p files to ipod

    Ever since my computer crashed I've had to re-add all my music files to my ipod, since they were wiped out too. For some reason I can no longer add any music I bought from itunes (m4p files). Nothing happens when I try to. I also tried right clicking on the files and choosing "send to ipod," but nothing happens again. Anyone know what might be the reason?
    **NEVERMIND I figured it out, I just had to re-authorize these songs to be played on my computer.

    It's not one of those Sony CDs with protection on is it?

    You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • Is it possible to add a single file to the Favorites list in a finder window?

    Never mind, I just found the answer in another post: hold down the command key

  • How to add files to iPod Touch?

    The manual states this is the procedure to add files to an iPod Touch:
    Transfer a file from iPod touch to your computer:
    1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
    2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    3 In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
    4 On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
    Problem is, there is NO file sharing section at all in app section of iTunes.
    I would like to put the PDF file of the iPod Touch manual on the device but see now way how to do so.
    Thanks for any help.

    That section is talking about how to move files from the iPod to iTunes and not the other way around. First you need to import this PDF into your iTunes library.
    The next thing you'll want to do if you haven't already, is download the iBooks app to your iPod.  From there, configure your iPod to sync the PDF from the iPod's Books tab in iTunes.
    See these two articles for more information on using and downloading the iBooks app as well as how to sync Books/PDFs to your iPod.

  • Need help combining multiple audiobook cds into single mpeg file for Ipod

    I have been unable to find an application that will let me combine multiple MPEG audio files into a single MPEG file. My goal is to combine several CDs from an audiobook into a single file so that I can listen to it on my Ipod. Also, it would take up a lot less space as an ITunes listing. Mediajoiner was recommended on some other forums, but I could not find a version that worked with OS X and Java 1.5.
    Any help is appreciated

  • Unable to add certain files to iTunes Library or iPod

    For some reason, whenever I try to add some files with an .avi format to my iTunes Library or iPod just won't let me. I've tried the add file/folder option and it simply doesn't work. It does absolutely nothing. It won't let me drag/drop to the Library, only iPod. But when I try drag/dropping it to the iPod (as I've succesfully been able to do in the past with other files)I get an:
    "[File Name].avi" was not coppied to the iPod "[iPod Name]" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    sorry all. i restarted iTunes after i downloaded and installed QT and everything started working. total retardedness on my end

    I was trying to create a playlist to add to a second ipod I have and save my library of my other ipod and hopefully transfer between the two or organize additional playlist between the two.  What I did was erase both and and back at point zero. lost everything.  Tried to follow directions but I'm too stupid. Used the 'New play list" wrong i think and I know where original files are but no directions as to get it back.  Its supposed to be a simple function of ipod bet not so!

    An iTunes playlist can only contain songs that are in the same iTunes library as the playlist.  There is neither a manual nor a scripted way to create an iTunes playlist that contains songs that are not in the library.  
    So, to do what you want, you would need to create a single consolidated library with all the music, and then create playlists off of that.  Since your current drive is "chock a block full," the best way to do this will be to spend $50-$100 and get an external hard drive for iTunes.

  • When i add a book, music or video to ipad via itunes it keeps trying to add deleted files on the ipad previously. Why?

    No major problem, just takes a lot of unecessary time. Whenever i do either of the following functions of adding a video, book, or a music file. Itunes keeps checking for the previously deleted files on the ipad and i dont know why. My problem is that if i just want to add ONE single file i will take more time because it does that silly thing. Any suggestion why this happens and how can be fixed?
    My current settings are:
    (TICK) Prevent ipad from syncing automatically,
    (TICK) Manually manage music and videos,

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.
