Adding songs to the shuttle

Hi,
Can't figure out the inconsistent behaviour of the iTunes s/w and whatever the interactions of the XP automatic features such as recognizing the iPod as an external disk. Is there a specific way to set an option on the PC/XP NOT to recognize the iPod as an external disk (memory stick or an additional drive)? Also, the iPod option button comes on and goes off and only stays on at certain times which I cannot guess. Anyway, my big problem is the consistent way of loading or adding new songs to the shuttle. I have tried the documented procedures and they don't work all the time. What should I do to figure out a method that will work always? It seems that on PC's some other s/w might be interfering when I connect the iPod to an USB port. Any help out there?

After dropping them into the attachments folder, which you really don't need to do, you can then move them to your sounds folder, which is where you should drop them, via mass storage/data transfer or via your file manager on your N82,
I just drag and drop into my sounds folder via mass storage/data transfer mode and then refresh after, i get no troubles what so ever this way.
Your music player will only refresh if theres something to refresh.

When I download music into Itunes and move songs into playlists, Itunes has twice randomly deleted all recently added songs from the playlists they have been added to. It is driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I download music into Itunes on my PC, every song is transferred into a specific playlist. Twice now when I have opened up Itunes, all the recent songs that have been moved into playlists have been deleted by Itunes. I now have to go back and figure out which songs are missing and re-add them. It is driving me crazy. I have 10,000 songs and now have no idea which ones are missing and which ones have been retained.
Please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi TRuss08,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like songs are missing from iTunes on your PC, and need to be re-added. I know that can be a frustrating situation.
The tips in this article may help the process go a little smoother:

IN THE MOBILE APP: RECENTLY ADDED SONGS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAND AT THE TOP OF ANY PLAYLIST

IN THE MOBILE APP: RECENTLY ADDED SONGS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAND AT THE TOP OF ANY PLAYLISTS BY DEFAULT IN SETTINGS. NOT ON THE BOTTOM AS ITS BEEN SINCE THE START IN 2008.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO SO ON A COMPUTER BUT I DOES NOT TRANCEND TO MOBILE DEVICES SUCH AS IPHONE. WHY???
IT BUGS ME EVERYTIME I'M FORCED TO SCROLL DOWN THROUGH 100s OF SONGS IN A PLAYLIST JUST TO PLAY THE MOST RECENTLY ADDED SONG IN THE SAME PLAYLIST.

Updated: 2015-07-20Hello and thanks for the feedback!
A similar idea has also been suggested here:

Add your kudos and comments there please! ;)
Note that you can also sort your playlist by recently added to play the freshest track first.

How to save only newly added elements from the trailing list

Dear,
I have a shuttle bean with left and right trailing lists.
At some point I save the right trailing list content to DB. Then I add additinal elements to the trailing list. Trying to save again gives me oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key
exception.
What is the approach I can take to only save newly added elements from the shuttle?
I am wondering if I can put the extra logic (what logic would that be - do I need to check the PK value that is already in the database?) in the AM method with which I save the shuttle like here (TicketID and ResponsibilityID are primary key)
if (items != null)
Object ia[] = items.toArray();
for(int i=1; i<ia.length; i++)
Row rowApproval = vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(rowApproval);
rowApproval.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
Row row = vo.getCurrentRow();
row.setAttribute("TicketId",items.get(0));
row.setAttribute("ResponsibilityId",items.get(i) );
row.setAttribute("Status",items.get(i));
or should I do something in the EO?
Thank you
Anatoliy

Hi,
Can you please clarify - do I have to make a loop? I mean for every record/element in the trailing list
I run the VO (that I will create) VO.executeQuery?Yes you do need to execute the VO for every record....by passing the different parameter in each iteration.

Gyan

I have added songs to my ipod touch, but it doesn't seem to be updating. does anyone know why that is?

Yesterday i added songs to the "cloud" well when i enabled it on my ipod touch, it deleted everything i currently had on my ipod. So i restored my ipod, and dragged everything i currently had on my itunes library to my iPod, i have waited a day and there are still a lot of songs that need to be synced on my ipod. i unplugged my iPod, restarted my computer the next day, and those same songs are still not syncing to my iPod. any ideas why this is?

Multiple Computers - adding songs

I just received a 2nd gen nano & I am new to the iPod/iTunes. I am having issues downloading manually between home & work computers. I have no problem with the home computer in which I orginally set it up with but adding songs to the work computer is a challenge.
As per instructions I am adding songs and lists manually. They seem to appear on device list but when I eject iPod only the orginal list/songs are on the device.
Further, on the work computer, the iPod Summary Page indicates I have far more capacity than on the nano. This is not the case at home.
I have updated, reset, etc. with the same result. Please advise.

ITunes Security - Keeping the babysitter from adding songs to iTunes Lib.

This is a nube question, but is there a way to limit access to the iTunes program so that anyone can play from the library but not add to it? Password protection for additions perhaps?
This question is the result of a babysitter who brought over her MP3 CD collection. I now see all of the songs she played in the iTunes Library.
My main concern is to make sure that her songs are not anywhere on my computer (for the obvious legal reasons... and also because I don't enjoy that type of music).
I currently have 6GB of legit music that I don't want to remove, so if there is an automatic way to remove all of her music (at once) by date entered it would also be helpful. I also do not see a folder for her music within the iTunes folder.
Thank you,

Well to remove her songs that were added to iTUnes. open iTunes in the main library, hit the "Date added" Header to organize the list by date. Then seect the first song of hers, hold down the ctrl key and selct each one of hers. after that let go of the key and rightclick then select "Clear". this will claer them off iTunes and if the songs are actually on your PC you will get a message asking if you want to move them to the recycle bin, click yes and then empty the recycle bin.
I don't know how to stop iTunes from adding things, But if you allow the babysitter on your PC, you may want to consider setting up user accounts on your PC in windows. You can do this by going to the control panel and selecting "User Accounts". you can turn on the "Guest" account or set up a user account for him/her. This would allow you to lock or password protect folders, and lock the CD drive from being used.
iTunes comes with a "Share" feature that will allow her to listen to your music on her account. you will have to move or copy your songs to the "Shared Documents" folder tho I think.

HT1386 I can no longer see anything in the "Manually Added Songs" field when managing music on my iPhone4.

I can no longer see anything in the "Manually Added Songs" field when managing music on my iPhone4. why?

If you are using iTunes Match, your songs are long gone.
iTunes Match is now a streaming service, with no regards to letting you download individual files.
Otherwise, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

A sorting songs by the "date added" bug on iPhone and iTunes?

So I've run accross a bug (maybe) that has really been annoying me for a few months now. It has been present since like iOS5 beta 3. It has to do with how my songs are sorted on my iPhone. I've always had my songs sorted by "date added" and I have never had a problem with them showing up in that way. During the beta, my songs started showing up backwards on my phone. My oldest songs would show up first on my phone's iPod even though in my iTunes they were sorted with the newest songs on top. I figured this was a bug and that it would be fixed by apple in the later versions of iTunes and after the official release of iOS5, but I was wrong. It didn't fix after I receieved my 4S. On a side note, I was having this problem initially on my iPhone 4, and it continued on to my iPhone 4S. This is probably one of the MOST ANNOYING problems I've had with my iPhone because my car displays my songs in the order they are on my phone too, and in my car I have to use a wheel and not a touchscreen to scroll all the way to the bottom (you get my point). I haven't actually found a fix for this to where everything works as it is supposed to, but today as I was tinkering with my iTunes to finally fix this problem I decided to sort all my songs by "newest songs modified" just to see if it would fix my sorting problem. It worked. My phone now has all my new songs on top of each of my playlists in ONLY the playlists I choose to have sorted in that specific way. After I realized this fixed my problem, I tried to re-sort all my songs by "date added" again just to see if it would fix my problem because having them sorted by "date modified" is an annoying problem I just dont want to have. It didn't work. So right now, I am sorting my songs on my phone by "date modified" because "date added" doesnt sort them the way it is supposed to when any playlist is transferred from my iTunes to my iPhone. Anyone know whats up? How can I let apple know about this annoying problem? Could it just be me and my computer? I've gone through multiple versions of iTunes, iOS5s including beta, and I've had the problem on two different iPhones. Coincidence? By the way I'm running windows 7, and no, I haven't searched much for this problem on forums or on google because it seems too specific to my situation (and im too lazy to look hard enough).

my problem started with the recent upgrade and this idea (sort on PC iTunes by date modified) worked. I did have to remove my playlist from my phone first and then resync to get things to respond but it seems to work. Why on earth Apple does not provide a mechanism for sorting ON THE F*&^ING PHONE is beyond me. For a company who's mantra is building things that 'they'd want to use' this gaff cannot possible fit into that paradigm.

I've added songs and vedios to iTunes in my computer then I synchronise it with my iPad the problem came to the video that I couldn't show the videos and the screen became black

I've added songs and vedios to iTunes in my computer then I synchronise it with my Ipad3 ..... For the songs it was OK but for the vedios I got a message that some format are not supported then the screen became black with no video or sound ....how can I get back the vedios...I'm afraid to make reset to the iPad otherwise I'll loose all the applications and media.. Any ideas please .... Thanks

First of all - depending upon how you define resetting the iPad - you will not lose anything. If you erase all contents and settings - then you will lose everything. Don't do that!
If the videos are not in the correct format - launch iTunes on your computer. Click on one of the videos in your iTunes library in order to select it. Then go to Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV version and see if the video will convert. Do the same for the other videos and then select those to sync again with the iPad.
To get the videos app working again, first quit it completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If the videos app still doesn't work, try this.
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. when the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

When I drag music from a folder that contains songs by different artists and then sort by date added it shows the songs in alphabetical order by artist?

When I drag a bunch of songs with different artists from a folder on my computer to the itunes library and sort by Date added it puts them into alphabetical order by artist. I am able to workaround this by using date modified. Why does itunes do this? This started happening in July. Prior to that never had this problem. Been adding my music the same way for almost a decade.

They are added in the same minute. I do not see the second area next to that if it should be. I'm guessing an update to a newer itunes build is responsible. It's a shame. I am using the sort by date modified. But now whenever I modify a file in Itunes it automatically moves it to the top of the list. I am trying to keep the newest stuff at the top of my itunes.

I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
select "get info".
go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
click "OK".
Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different start/stop time.
Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

A email account that was used is now not in use and songs that were purchased and added are bound to this old account from the same computer how do I the purchaser of these songs reclaim the authorization to play and use in my new account. even though account name may have been changed.

Just authorize the computer and retreive them.

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file
