Annoying messages when transfering music

Hello, I have a 512 MB first gen Shuffle. Soon getting an 8GB Nano for Xmas, YAY! Anyway, I have the latest version of iTunes and am running it on Vista Premium. When I plug my Shuffle in iTunes opens and I can put music on my Shuffle. When transfering, Vista pops up a message saying that I should scan my Shuffle with ScanDisk because it detects a problem. I hit "OK" and it says that the volume cannot be found. Then after that, I get an AutoPlay message asking what I want to do with "Shuffle" which I have it named as. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

I hit yes and it finally scanned. That ones gone, now just the AutoPlay message. Any ideas?

When transfering music says library cannot be saved not enough access priverlages what do i do

When transferring music fom one computer to another via cloud i soon get the message i tunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access priverlages for this operation how can this be avoided

Double check to see that your "itunes music
library.itl" (or "iTunes Library.itl") file or the
folder it resides in (the ‘iTunes’ folder) is not
read-only.
Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file (or
folder) name, go to Properties.
If it is read-only, then close iTunes, change it, and
reopen iTunes.
i have done that......

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too. Can I move these back?

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod touch too. Can I move these back?

Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

Please read the help topics of Music Manager which may help to resolve your issues (Hope So )
To rip a CD to your phone
Connect your phone to the PC.
Open Nokia Music Manager.
Click Options > Settings... and in the Conversion tab, select the desired conversion format and bit rate. The conversion format to be used depends on the phone model you are using.

Click Copy to phone.
Nokia Music Manager converts the tracks according to the settings you defined above in Step 3 and copies the tracks to your phone.

Authorization error message in iTunes when transferring music to iPod

This has been driving me nuts. I have a 30GB iPod w/ the color display and a brand new Intel MacBook with the latest version of iTunes (iPod's been updated as well). My previous computer, a Powerbook G4, fell off a counter and died on the spot, so my only back up for all the music I have is what's on my iPod.
First, I couldn't transfer all of my music from my iPod to the MacBook because of an authorization problem with iTunes. So, I authorized my computer, which still didn't solve the problem. I resorted to using iPodRip which successfully got all the music off the iPod and onto the MacBook. No harm, no foul.
The problem now is that I can't transfer music from the MacBook to the iPod for the exact same reason: I get the error message saying that some songs are not authorized to play.
I have tried the following things:
1) Deauthorizing and re-authorizing my computer on iTunes = No luck. iTunes informs me that I am now authorized and that I have 1 out of 5 authorizations in use, but the songs still won't transfer.
2) Playing an "unauthorized" song in iTunes. Again, I get a message asking me to enter my account info and then thanking me for authorizing. However, the song won't play in iTunes, nor will it transfer to the iPod.
3) Restoring my iPod to the factory settings. Not sure why I tried this, but it didn't work and is the reason why I no longer have all my songs on my iPod and am trying so desperately to get them back.
4) Used iPodRip to try to reverse the process, but again, no dice.
I have a feeling that the answer to this is stupidly simple and I'm somehow missing some crucial step somewhere. Can someone help me out?
Intel MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Alright, I think I solved the problem on my own. For what it is worth, restarting the computer seemed to solve all of my issues. After restarting, iTunes accepted my authorization (alerting me that I now have 2 of 5 machines authorized) but my iPod kept disconnecting after syncing. So, I reset the iPod, downloaded iTunes 7 and reinstalled it, and whaddya know- It works! I have all of my music on both my computer and the iPod.
It was stupidly simple, too.

Weird error message when transferring files to iPod

Hi all, I just received a 64 Gig iPod Touch in the post today. When setting it up in iTunes (I'm using 9.0.1.8), I got as far as the screen asking me whether I want to automatically sync music/videos/apps every time I connect the iPod to my computer, and I unchecked all the boxes and pressed "Done" (or whatever it said). iTunes then hung for about 10 minutes, and then gave me an error message that said something like (I didn't write down the exact wording)
"iPod cannot be synced. The device cannot be written to or read".
Now whenever I transfer music to the iPod, it gives me the following message:
"The iPod 'Phil's iPod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014)"
It seems to work fine despite the message - the music still gets transferred. Anybody know what's going on?

What would cause this message and why would it not be able to be played on my iPod?
This message usually indicates the file does not meet ipod specifications. For many making their own conversions, this could be incorrect formatting during conversion. However, since these files were supposedly processed by professionals, would assume target format was correct but the video content pushed the video data rate above the 1,500 kbps maximum limitation. Most of my tests using QT Pro produced files with average video data rates between 1524 and 1536 kbps and in one case had to adjust brightness and contrast to make the file acceptable for iTunes sync to iPod. That is why I requested that Baseline LC profile access be added to the MPEG-4 export option to allow manual custom conversions. In any case, be sure to report your inability to sync specific files to ensure they are properly "re-mastered."

411 B Calendar
44 kb Contacts

This phone is supposed to have 8Gb, how do I find out the available total memory and what is available, currently when I try to transfer a music file from my pc it says it doesn't have enough memory!!
Can you help.?
Cheers, The Beast.

now what to do......
is there not a simpler way of transfering files without using the computer?
feedback would be fab,
thanks

ITunes freezing when transferring music

I recently bought a new computer and tried to transfer my iPod to the new one. I wasn't sure how to move the music from the old computer to the new one, but I eventually did it anyway (I used a huge flashdrive {or whatever it's called} in the end). When I installed iTunes and moved the music into my library, then connected my iPod to the computer, it showed about 80 songs transferred (out of 300-400), then iTunes froze. I was eventually able to quit iTunes, the iPod woke up, and showed that nothing was on the iPod. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the iPod and iTunes, but I'm out of ideas.

Hi,
Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes. Tell me if this works.

When transfering music into itunes, music not showing in itunes app, but songs are in music folder.

when i transfered many songs from external hard drive into itunes library, the songs do not appear after transfer completes. it appears as if songs are being added to library. when i search through itunes app, songs are missing, when i go to the folder on computer that holds my itunes library songs are there. any help?
latest version of itunes with windows 7.
thanks

Create a smart playlist that would match one of the albums. I suspect you'll find the tracks show up in it...
My guess is that something has gone wrong with the internal index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes library folder, then start iTunes again. iTunes should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to clear up any anomalies.

Error Message when copying music files to Nano

When copying an album to the Nano, I receive and error message with 4 songs left to copy off of the album. Error states: Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. With 4 songs left to copy
I have only used approx. 344.8 MB of memory. I tried resetting the Nano and then also deleting album and recopying and the same files back. Nothing seems to work, please help!

If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.

Error message when downloading music after purchase

I've never had a problem downloading songs from itunes before. I just purchased 3 songs and now, it gives me an error message saying that there is an error and the files are corrupted. When I try to "check for purchases", they are there, but will not download. Can anyone help me with this? Please email me directly since I'm a dummy when it comes to figuring out these forums. [email protected] Thanks.

Presuming you're using the latest version of iTunes, I'd suggest that you contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them. They may need to reset the download, or there may be a problem with the tracks themselves.
If you want to be emailed with replies to your questions when you start a topic, click on My Settings on the right of any of these pages, and click "yes" to "always subscribe to topics I create". Then any replies will automatically be emailed to you.
Good luck.

Error message when transferring purchases

When I try to transfer my ringtone purchases to itunes from my 3GS I get a error message..." Attempting to copy to the disk 'Macintosh HD' Failed. The Disk could not be read to or written from". My ringtones were purchased directly from the iTunes store on the phone. now if I need to restore the phone it warns me I'll lose the ringtones and have to purchase them again..... Help !

Apple Support contacted me and instructed me to update my Apple ID. A simple change in my username seemed to fix the issue.
