Adding Music from PC to Thunderbolt (Help Please)

I tried the V cast and did the transfers but nothing transfers over am I doing something wrong?

The easiest way to transfer media from PC to TB is mount the TB as a disk drive (^Note 1) and then simply cut/paste (or drag and drop) the media folders. In fact, this method may even be necessary if you want certain ancillary files (e.g. Album Art) transfer as well.
I just went through this with my TB upgrade. In my case, I use Window Media Player 12 to organize my music but when I used WMP to sync it to the TB, the album art didn't get transferred. However, when I cut/pasted the music folders it worked.
1. Mount your phone as a USB mass storage and open the "Removable Disk (F" F:/Music folder (^Note 1).
2. Select/Copy folders under "My Music" directory and Paste into "F:/Music/" directory.
^Note 1: When you plug you TB into the USB port of the PC, you'll see a little USB icon in the top left of the TB's notification bar. Drag that down the notifcation bar and select (touch) the entry with the USB icon (it probably says "Charge Only"). Change it to "Disk Drive" ("Mount as disk drive"). After this, on the PC open a file explorer and under Computer you'll notice a new "Removable Disk" has been added, e.g. "Removable Disk (F". Open that disk and there should be a directory "F:/Music" (If not, create one).

Zen X-Fi Streaming Music from a media center Help Please

Hi,
I just opened brand new Zen X-Fi 6GB checked out it's playback installed Creative Centrale and was ready to test media streaming. Here it is where my frustration started and I hope somebody can help me.
The system:
Windows XP Pro SP3
Antivirus Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (tried switching off during tests as well);
Windows Firewall switched off;
PC Connected through cable to wireless router Linksys WRT54GX-v2
MAC filtering is off in router
X-Fi obviously connected via wireless. Sofware version on X-Fi: .03.0 ( I know there is newer version, haven't tried that one yet)
Media Server is enabled in Creative Centrale, name to server is given. Instructions on http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx sid=52949 have been read, everything seems to be set according to description.
Zen X-Fi finds my Wireless network and connected after I initially entered wireless password. When searching for Media Server, only Creative MediaBox comes up. This proves that Zen X-Fi is able to connect to router and that it talks to media server on internet. However, it does not see my Media Center provided by Centrale. I have also J.Ri'ver Media Center running on another PC at home that also has UPnP server running ( which I tried to switch off and on during tests). Not sure if this inmpact Centrale MEdia Server in any way. I have also found UPnP Enable/Disable option in my router setup, again traid enabling and disabling it, not sure what should be the set up.
I have probably tried to start server 25 times. There were four possible outcomes:
. Finds only Creative Media Box. Happened mostly
2. Gets stuck while searching, nothing happens. Basically have to soft reset to start it again. On/Off does not work. This happened probably 2 times during my test.
3. Once I go back from list of media servers (with only Creti've MediaBox in a list) , and try to hit Media Server again, player freezes. I get almost black screen with little backlight, which can only be seen in dark environment. Again, no other option than to soft reset. This happened 5 times
4 It found Media Server from Centrale as well as my Media Center from J.Ri'ver MEdia Center. This happened once... during my tests. Almost felt like I won lottery... Kaspesky was on during this test, by the way. Connected to Centrale and heard music, it was fine. Could not connect to J.Ri'ver media center, but that is another topic probably.
To summarize. This is not acceptable if I have to try 25 times, with 7 soft resets and hope for one succesfull connection. Certainly there is something wrong and I can't figure it out. Can you please help me

Same problem on my laptop at work, at home it just hangs looking for media server. The media server name shows up in my network devices. I turned off my firewall, etc.
I can't believe there's no response yet, I just emailed customer support.

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

I have added music from my CD library to iTunes but now my iPod will not sync. Message says not enough free space. How can I sync only a portion of my library to my 8Gb Nano?

I have added music from my CD library to iTunes on my PC. I now have too many songs in my iTunes and I have insufficient space in my 8 Gb Nano. I am unable to sync my iPod now. How can I get my iPod to sync? I only want a portion of my songs on the Nano.

Hi wisemra,
First, make sure your iTunes does not attempt to sync automatically. Open iTunes, and select Preferences under the iTunes menu item:
Then, once you have hooked up your device and selected it, you should see the device Profile pages to the right. Select the Music tab:
Once you get to the Music detail screen, you will see the option to "Sync Music". You can then select "Sync Entire Music Library" or you can select "Sync Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genres". Click on the second one. Then, below, you can select which of your music from the library you want on your device:
Your will show a list of your music. Mine doesn't because I sync with an iTunes library on different computer, but once you have selected the options I have shown you, you will see the music listed. Just pick what you want on your device and then click "Sync" at the bottom.
Cheers,
GB

Adding music from cd

adding music from cd

Bought a new i mac, but it doesn't have facility for CD's as they're being phased out. I still have lots of CDs with music I love on them, so want to somehow get this music into my new i mac & into my i phone for my art workshops.
My 'old' Macbook pro can take CD's but is unstable (on its 3rd HD! hence the new i mac purchase!) so I have been unwilling to build up my itunes library on the Macbook HD as I don't trust it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated (as we are getting tired of hearing the same old tunes on the iphone...)

My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
resetpassword
Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

All of my music has disappeared from my library! Help please!

So I get onto my family's home computer to update my iPod when my whole library is empty. I've looked all over the web for help but for some reason my iPod won't appear in the My Computer folder. I had music that I had purchaced from the iTunes store that is also missing, which I was hoping I could rescue.
I have a 1st generation nano, 9.0 iTunes, and a have a Windows XP computer, if that helps any.
I hope you all can help me! I'm kind of a newbie with iTunes stuff. D:

the same exact thing just happened to me and im about to lose my mind...how do you fix this ? I just wanted to update it I just lost over 300 songs from my choir's music!!! help please ..anyone!!!!

HT1329 how do i transfer my music from iphone to mac book Please help

Iv been trying to put my music from my old iphone onto a macbook pro computer ! But im not to sure how to do it. Iv tried alot of things but it saves as a txt . Please help

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content fo the computer to which it is synced.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

I NEED SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COPY MUSIC FROM IPOD TO LIBRARY.help:(

My computer crashed and i lost all my music. i read the last topic (the girl has a similar problem to me) so i tried and tried to follow the instructions given to her, but i found it too intense and confusing.
i would like someone to explain the simplest way of transferring music from my Classic to my itunes 7. i desperatley need help on this. iv spent hours on this site trying to make sense of it all but i cant! please help me. I will be very grateful to whoever can help me!!!!
From, confused and helpless, Isobel.

Hopefully this isn't too intense but you do need to decide what method you want to use at which point it gets simpler. For instance if you pick a utility to make the transfer you carefully read the help pages for the one you choose. If you decide to do it manually you carefully read the article on manual transfer. Take it a paragraph at a time. Each of the blue links will take you to a help page or a web page with more information. Take it slowly and don't panic, there's no need to post continually either, we are all just users like yourself here and you have to wait until someone had free time to help out. Posting every 4 or 5 minutes won't help.
1). First of all you have to get your iPod safely connected to your computer with losing anything. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
2). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
3). Finally - Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How to play music from ZEN?? HELP PLEAS

Ok, I brought my ZEN 8GB to work today, thinking of listening to some songs while working. Please note that I'm not allowed to install any software onto my workplace's PC. So, I plugged in my ZEN to the USB port. Driver installs. Then, I went to my ZEN's Music folder, selected all the mp3 and hit Enter. Instead of playing the music in WMP, it created a playlist for me. I can only play one song at a time by right-clicking the song and click Open/Play. I tried to load the playlist, which is .pla format, into WMP but WMP returned me an error message instead.
Please help me with this! I really wanna listen to music from my ZEN through the PC!

Quote:
But if I sync my device, assuming my office's WMP's version supports it, won't the songs in my device be gone Synnchronising means if I delete the song from the playlist, won't it also delete the song from my device
Are you deleting songs Playlist are lists tied to songs
If you sync with your player and have nothing on your PC then I believe your PC would be updated with the latest data.
In any case PLEASE backup your music before attemping anything on this company PC.
PLEASE Check under WMP Sync menue and find the help files.
Normally, under zen explorer there is a sync manager in task bar which you could set up the
direction for synchronization - I normally have mine ALWAYS FROM THE DEVICE TO THE COMPUTER AND IN THE MANUAL MODE.
What is so hard in your case is that you have no control over the computer you are using (Company PC) by being able to have
the proper drivers and latest WMP software installed.

Cannot publish from iWeb to .Mac, Help please!

I am trying to publish to my site from here in Australia. I was able to publish in the country at the beggining of the trip, but can not now. I get the message "Publish Error - an error occurred while publishing file /Web/Site/iWeb/Site/Blog". I had updated two blog entries and changed the date on an entry. Since then in trying to fix the issue I deleted both of those entries. I have been through .mac support troubleshooting steps to ensure it is not a network error. I have been able to publish to a folder, but when I try to copy the Blog folder from that folder to my iDisk I get "The Finder cannont complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written (Error code -36)". Since then they asked that I try to publish from a trial .Mac account or from a new OS X user account on my machine. Both of those attempts failed as well, which they say indicates it's not a .mac account or OS X user set up issue. They asked that I put a copy of my domain file out in the public drive for them to look at, but when I try to do that it goes through and does the copying and then freezes at "Copying Domain.zip to Public, Copied 599.5MB of 599.5MB (Closing file...) - Please wait". Then I get the same error code -36 and am disconnected from iweb. Can anyone out there help please?
Thanks!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! I have experienced both modem/network problems and was unable to publish in Tahiti and Cook Islands because of that and now these problems which have nothing to do with network it seems - so yours may or may not be network related. I was able to cheat and copied my "Site" folder from my hard drive to my iDisk rather then publishing. I can't remember if you've tried this or not (read a lot of strings today) but you can publish to a folder and then copy that folder to your iDisk at /Web/Sites/iWeb/Site as "Site" after first renaming the one that is out there now. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do it. It sounds like you are traveling like we are and anxious to communicate with friends and family back home. When you are bored, our site is web.mac.com/baganworldtour.
At least we now have our first update out there in two weeks. But it took almost two hours to copy the folder and this won't work forever. Hopefully we, whether by the discussion room or .mac support next week, will be able to fix the problem for real.
Thanks. Good Luck. Merry Christmas

On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer haev. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone. Help!

On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!

The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
iPhone sync only one way computer -> iPhone except content bought from iTunes.
