Alright so I need help - Pod has music but computer has none

Alright so here's the 411. My ipod has an approximate 1100 songs on it. My previous laptop broke down so I had to get a new one, with an obvious 0 songs. So iTunes has this lovely feature that likes to duplicate my current library to my iPod. See the dilemna? Well so is there a way that I can keep all the songs on my iPod yet add new ones from my iTunes library now?

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • Need help coping project from one computer to another.

    I need help coping project from one computer to another.  I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2.  I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there.   I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open.  I dont have computer 2 available. 
    Please help!!!

    Hi
    No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
    You've got several problems
    • iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
    • Never MOVE or alter any folder named
    iMovie Projects - or -
    iMovie Events
    on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
    • Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
    You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
    Here You can move within this "window" to another location
    • Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
    and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
    to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
    So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
    • iMovie'09 or 11
    • an external hard disk -
    MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
    Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
    • Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
    Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.

  • I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes

    I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
    I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
    I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
    If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
    But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
    And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
    Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
    General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
    Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
    Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
    Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

    Thank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
    I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
    QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
    "I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
    QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
    "I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
    QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
    "For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
    I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
    "The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
    QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
    "I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
    QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
    "never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
    QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
    ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
    "I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
    Thanks again,
    Mrs H

  • Need help on burning music on CD.

    I need help I went through so many CDs trying to back up my music. Before my computer broke I could make CDs no problem. When I try to burn a CD it takes forever it just says at the top of itunes Writing "the song" and sits like that forever and eventually the top of itunes says Canceling CD burn then a screen pops up and says an unknown error has occured [4000]. Someone needs to please help me before I go freakin insane! Please type back.

    Dave,
    You literally have to start over more or less in iDVD?
    No, you can create the Slideshow directly in Aperture, if you export from the Slideshow panel, not with "File > Export", like this:
    Arrange your images in the Film strip;
    Drag music to the primary audio track (drag to the space between the images) or as effects to a secondary audio track (drag onto one of the slides)
    After adjusting all options, export and render your slideshow as a movie by pressing the "Export" button in the upper right corner.
    Import the exported movie to iDVD.

  • HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

    I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email.  I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music.  I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes.  itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think.  Can someone help with this?

    razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer.  I've used it for other things and it works.

  • Need help manually adding music, side bar isn't working!!

    Can someone help me?! I tried using the side bar to manually add music but when I went to drag and drop it isn't letting me. I even went through the tutorial and looked for "On this Ipod" > "Add to".. But there was NO "Add to". Someone help please!

  • Ipod has music, but didn't install on computer yet!

    Hello there...I am a new Ipod user and I downloaded a library from a friend's library BEFORE installing my Ipod software. I've been told there is a way to have separate drives, but am having a VERY difficult time finding out how. Someone mentioned two drives?? Please help me save the existing library I have so I can download lots more!!! =)

    ALl of my friends music was from CD'S, his and even some of MY CD's that WERE PURCHASED!!!!!!
    You have song that YOU did not purchase and he has songs that HE did not purchase.
    If you downloaded music from his CDs, that is stealing.
    If he has music from your CDs, that is stealing.

  • Need help for my old but good Canon D30 (not 30D)

    I have bought 2 cables, and still unable to have my Canon software communicate with camera. I want to put my name on it, or rather, be id'd as the owner. I have done this on my EOS 30D and my EOS 60D. Worked like a charm.
    Now, what can I do to get this on my Canon D30 ? Am I using the wrong software ? I understand it's backward compatible but I need help. Please help if you can and I thank you.
    Best,
    casper_zip

    Here I am again:
    I loaded EOS Utility on my older Dell with Windows XP. It loaded, and when I connected D30  it was looking for the disk that came with it. Unfortunately, that disk I did not have. Had I possessed it, could have completed my task of adding my name to my camera. The comuter recognized that a D30 was connected to it.
    Wonder where in the world will I be able to come up with this needed disk ? My older computer works like new, and I really like XPS better than Windows 7 Professional. I will put out a search on the internet and also on ebay and Amizon.
    Thanks so much for your wonderful help. Has me excited, now.

  • I need help connecting my iPhone and computer together.

    I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

    Howdy sprinklemk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
    To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
    An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
    A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
       OS X version 10.6.8 or later
       Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • Need help moving from PSE6 on Computer A to PSE8 on Computer B

    They are both on a network.
    It looks like I could use backup and restore but it seems that I have to copy my files twice....once to backup and once to restore.  Is there an easier way to just copy them across the network?
    Also, I want to retain all of my catalog and tagging info.  Do I need to upgrade anything first on COmputer A, or will the act of doing backup and restore (if I use that method) work when the files start to be used by PSE8?
    Computer A is a Windows XP.  Computer B is Windows 7.
    Thanks for your help.

    Backup and restore will work. Always a good idea to have backups. Not sure why "I have to copy my files twice" is a problem, its the computer doing the work, not you.
