Adding selective music and files to touch

Hi
I just got a new iPod touch 32 GB. I also have an iPod classic 120 GB. I want to know how can I selectively add different music to each of my iPod touch and classic. To be more specific, for classic I add everything that there in my library but for touch I don't want to add everything, only selected music and playlists. There might be some manual for this, but I could not track it... sorry. Can someone pls help.

hi,
take a look at
iPod 101

i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
Many thnaks for your answers.

You can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer. There is no way around this.
Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum. Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share.

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Early 2008) running OSX Lion 10.7.5. I want to erase the Hard Drive, install Mountain Lion, and manually restore select applications and files. Is there a known procedure to do this? Any tips or feedback?

1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

How do I enable an iPod touch without the original sync'ed computer? (and keep the music and files)

My iPod got disabled, but my computer is broken so all I have is a computer that isn't sync'ed to my iPod. Everytime I connect it to the computer, it tells me to respond on the iPod so I can sync it, however I can't respond on the iPod; it being disabled and all. I want to enable it without actually restoring it so I can keep all my music and pictures. If my music is deleted from my iPod, I won't get it back anytime soon due to my broken computer. Also, I can't use iCloud to get my music because most of it is from cd's and not connected to iCloud, so I really don't want to loose it.

Yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod. It is a security feature
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
After restoring, you MAY be able to get SOME data off the iPod

Select music and all playlists are just gone....

Opened my Itunes and all my playlists and select purchased and imported music is gone at random it looks like. This happened on Monday. I have VISTA. Any ideas for me? I have most backed up but not all.

The same thing has happened to me - dod you manage to fix it?

Rectangular selection quirk and file saving bug

I am trying to figure out a way to select areas and create a new image file using this selection using either the selection tool or the slicing tool so that transparent pixels that extend around the object that I am selectly are included in my selection. But Photoshop in it's brilliance changes the selection area to only include the non-transparent pixels. I realize that this might be useful sometimes, but by default I would expect if make a selection that I want, I get the selection that I want (like other similar programs that I have used). Is there are way to dumb-up Photoshop so that it just does what I want or at least a clever way to out-smart Photoshop (I'm using CS5).
Also, I am also one of the lucky ones that has problems saving files, with Photoshop indicating that that particular file is "already in use or was left open by another application". I didn't seem to have this problem when I originally got CS4 and was running Windows XP. But since upgrading to Windows 7 it happens all the time and it is getting very, very annoying. Has anyone heard of any new workarounds for this problem? One of the reasons I upgraded to CS5 from CS4 is that I was lead to believe by Adobe that CS5 would fix this problem. Well it didn't and it is getting progressively worse.

Let me make sure I understand this, you want to start with one image and create another that has only some parts remaining, with the rest being transparent, right? The key is that you want to keep the exact same canvas size, right?
About a year ago someone on here asked if an action could be made to do something just about like what you're asking. As I recall, I tossed together an action that worked to do the job. You might try searching this forum site for that.
Actually, you may not have to search... It looks like I left a copy on my site in the folder I use to share things:
http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/New_Document_From_Layer_3.zip
+1 for Mylenium's suggestion that something you've installed or configured is getting in the way of Photoshop's file access. It simply doesn't do that on most other Windows 7 systems. What security software are you running? Antivirus/antimalware software absolutely should NOT be interfering with your normal operations. If it is, it needs to be removed and a better brand needs to be installed. I personally prefer Avast Internet Security and have never had it interfere with computer operations one iota.
You can also disable indexing and turn off the generation of Thumbs.db files in Windows 7. Both of these things could help and have virtually no downsides. Let me know if that's something you want to try and I'll turn up the instructions on how to do so. They're also here on this forum somewhere.

"Selected Music" and "All Tracks" loads slowly Creative Visio

I loaded about 5,500 tracks on my Creative Vision M.
I play all my tracks with "Random Play All", and whenever I access "Selected Music" while a song is playing it takes forever: ~25 SECONDS! Also, when I access "All Tracks" it takes
~25 seconds to bring up the list of my tracks as well.
Is it just me or is this unreasonably SLOW? When playing songs, I'm scared of tapping the touchpad twice and getting stuck loading the "Selected Music" screen for half a minute. Shouldn't the songs be pulled from a static list that loads quickly? It's almost like the Vision M runs a query to pull up all the songs it has every time I access all tracks.
Accessing albums, artists, and genres is satisfactorily fast - only a few seconds. I don't know why accessing all tracks takes so long!

So am I the only one with this problem, or does everyone else think waiting half a minute to see a list of tracks is perfectly fine?

New iPod touch, adding library music and got duplicates of some albums?

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Transfering music and files from a pc to my mac

i have music files as well as other files (music the most important) and want to transfer it to my mac.
the pc is networked w/ my mac and i can play the files through a shared file...but i want to save the files on to my mac
any suggestions
any help much appreciated

These instructions are from Mac Help accessible from the Help menu of the Finder.
To transfer music from your Windows computer:
1. On the Windows computer, create a folder to hold your music.
2. Choose Start > My Documents to open the My Documents folder.
3. Select the My Music folder, and choose Edit > Copy.
4. Select the new folder you created in step 1, and choose Edit > Paste.
(Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other folders that contain music you want to transfer.)
5. Copy the folder containing the music you want to transfer to your Macintosh computer.
6. To copy the folder, either connect the Windows computer and your Macintosh computer over a network, or copy the folder to an intermediary location such as an external hard disk or remote server. If your Windows computer supports it, you can also burn the folder to a CD or DVD disc.
7. On your Macintosh, open iTunes by clicking the iTunes icon in the Dock.
8. Open iTunes
9. Drag the folder that contains your music to the iTunes window. iTunes copies your songs to you iTunes library.
When iTunes has finished copying all the music files you can delete the folder and all the music files because they have now been duplicated into the iTunes Library.

I had to reinstall my OSX and now can't find all of my music and files

My system was not verifying all of the files that I required to run optimally so the system told me to reinstall my disk 1 of my OSX. I did that and then had to f/u with the Snow Leopard CD.
Now I can't seem to find any of my music/files and it's like it's back to factory setting because none of our family profiles are on there or our email set up anymore.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Eric, I actually ended up taking it in to the apple store and the tech helped me. I do have an external back up but he had to 'trick' it somehow. (Something I would not have had a clue how to do)
It's all good !

Uploading music and pics to Touch

My daughter has an ipod Touch. I uploaded some pictures from my computer to the Touch before I gave it to her for her birthday. She then uploaded music from her laptop. The pictures were deleted.
How can I upload the pictures for her again and not delete her music?

Anytime you try to sync from a different computer, iTunes will erase what you synced from the first computer.
Email the pictures to her to download to her laptop. She can sync them from there.

ITunes / iPod locking up when during music and file transfers!

I'm having this problem with all 3 iPods in my household, but all on the same machine (20" iMac G5).
Quite often, when hooking up my iPod to transfer songs, or graphics files the whole thing just locks up. My "do not disconnect" screen freezes, and in iTunes I just get the spinning ball FOREVER. iTunes WILL NOT force quit, nor will it eject my iPod. Most of the time I have to force my computer to shut down because it will not do anything else.
I have no idea if it is my machine, or the iPods, or iTunes. I've checked and repaired permissions, and I've also run Tech Tool Pro. Nothing seems to resolve this issue.
Please... can anyone help?

I have a smiliar problem. Sometimes my iPod just gets "stuck" on the upload of certain songs (always different songs). It will just stay uploading the same song forever! so I have to unplug my iPod (even though it says "do not disconnect") and force quit iTunes. A few times I have had to force a shut down of my computer and twice when I did that all of my Favorite on FireFox dissapeared, my desktop was the default blue, my tool bar was defalut and my iTunes library was missing! I got all the songs back, but had to spend HOURS re-doing all of the playlists and then re-uploading everthiing to my iPod.
I avoided this the latest time by only uploading one playlist at a time, but it was very time consuming and still got "stuck" twice!
Any suggestions?? I have the extended protection plan on my computer and ipod...

Adding new images and files into the Media Browser?

I am trying to put all my image files on my computer into iPhoto and having no luck- for whatever reason, iPhoto does like the format of my files, nearly all of which are .tifs.
I'd like to get all the pictures into the media browser for Keynote so I can easily put images into presentations. This is mostly for making presentations for scientific talks of my data. A lot of images of tissues, blots, etc.
Is there a way to get files/folders into the media browser and bypassing iPhoto?
I can't get iPhoto (version 5) to work properly on my computer at all so I think I'm pretty fooked.

Depending on what you want to do you can open any folder and drag photos from that folder into keynote without using iphoto. But that could be tedious if you want to insert a lot of photos. If you want only one photo per slide you can drag the photos (a bunch at a time) on the sidebar where you see the thumbnails of the slides and each photo will be placed on a page. The drawback with that is sometimes the order of the photos may have to be tweaked.
Hope this helped
