After the past two iTunes updates, I cannot manage my 30g iPod classic manually

I cannot delete songs off my iPod or Name playlists and iTunes is only offering the option of syncing my iTunes library and erasing all the songs I already have on my iPod. What can I do?

Hey joykorley,
I'd recommend taking a look at the following article:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
With automatic mode, iTunes will delete all songs and playlists on your device, and then will copy the music library and playlists from the new home computer to your device.
This doesn't sound like what you want - if you want to keep the music library on your device, but copy songs or playlists from the music library on the second computer, click Cancel when the dialog box appears, and then set your device to manual mode.
The article has detailed steps on how to set the iPod to manual mode.
Cheers,
David

Cant see iphone in itunes after the most resent itunes update

After updating itunes I downloaded the new iphone IOS. After connecting my phone, an error msg could not update iphone. Now my phone has the connect to itunes screen and will not come off regardless of what i do. I cant see it on the computer or itunes now. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and a number of other things on the apple website, no joy. To me it sounds like a software problem to me, but i dont know. Does anybody have ANYTHING else?

I had the same problem yesterday and called Apple Support and was walked through uninstalling iTunes (I had just gotten the latest update to it) and reinstalling it. My computer (Windows Vista) did not recognize the phone and would not sync. I powered down my computer, took it home, powered it up and plugged in my iPhone 4 with a different sync cable and it worked. The computer found an Apple driver that it couldn't find with the other cable. The defective cable will still charge my iPhone 4, but it will not sync. I have used that same cable since October, and it is the original shipped with the product. Go figure. I have not yet updated to iOS 4.3 and am going to wait a bit.

My external hard drive quit on me. Is there a way to get my content(pics, music and videos) back onto my computer- This is the pc and iTunes that I currently use with this iPod Classic 160gig. I don't want to lose all my info. please help. Thanks.

All my content is still on my iPod classic but my external HDD quit and is not accessible. I am wondering if I can put some of my content onto my PC(my iPod has more storage than my PC hahaha pretty bad) This is the PC I used with iTunes with so I don't think licensing is an issue- But can I upload back to my PC without iTunes wiping clean my iPod because there is no more content on PC/HDD? I know I may need to send my HDD away to to a Data Recovery Specialist. But if I can save a couple hundred bucks to couple thousand bucks I would prefer this method... mostly worried about photos- can't download these again. Next time I will buy a second back up.

inMy iPod is ok, but my external hard drive crashed and that's where all my stuff was. It is still also on my iPod. My question is, Can I plug my iPod into my PC and put everything back onto my PC's hard drive? This iPod and PC are synced together already. I am worried when I plug my iPod back into my PC, itunes will erase everything on it because it's not in my PC but in my crashed external HDD that I can't access.
You'll need to get yourself a new drive big enough to hold all the data you are going to recover and then reading the tip B-rock has pointed you to. Read it carefully, it should guide you through the steps to recover as much as possible. You are wise to be worried, just plugging in the iPod and clicking sync isn't good enough but it should be possible to recover to most if not all of it.

TS2972 After the most recent iTunes update, I'm having problems accessing my movies and TV shows on my Apple TV. I have to start the episode or movie playing on my iMac first before it will play on the Apple TV remotely. Ideas on how to resolve?

I'm running the updated versions of both the Apple TV software and iTunes.
3rd Generation Apple TV; Software version 5.3
iTunes version 11.0.5

Cannot access internet through itunes after last itunes update. Cannot get to itunes store or itunes help. Everything else works fine.

After last itunes update I cannot get to the internet through itunes. Cannot get to itunes store, itunes help, etc. Also, now when I sync everything syncs properly but I get message at end that tells me that my phone cannot be backed up on the laptop.

Something may be corrupt in your iTunes installation. The backup problem may or may not be related. The first step is reboot your system, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. The next thing to try is completely removing iTunes and reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
Also, if you used TinyUmbrella or Recboot as unauthorized apps to help with the update they corrupted your network settings on your computer. You will have to edit your hosts file and remove all references to Apple servers.

Since the latest ITunes update, I cannot find all the CD songs I converted to ITunes. All it shows are the songs I purchased.

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC. I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7). I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034. Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest". I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted. The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days. I can do a search on the music in upper right corner. However, the screen is white with "iTunes" in the middle when I do. Any suggestions? Thank you.
