To All IPod Users having Trouble with Live Updating playlists.

I thought I should share this with other IPod users as there is quite a bit of discussion on the net about it.
After 3 days trying to get "Smart Playlists"to live update on my IPod touch, reading, researching and reading more, I finally got my Ipod playlist to live update.
I've discovered that certain rules break live updating.
OK it is only a basic set of rules, but it is working.
The 1st thing I did was group all my songs using the "Composer" field. Do not use sorting, it breaks live updating.
example: All songs were composed by Music, all Soundtracks were composed by Soundtrack. And so on. I did this in ITunes using "Get Info".
I placed two rules in my playlist:
Composer is Music
Last Played is not in the last 6 months.
I ticked "Live Update"
Do not use Limit to as this breaks Live Updating as well.
If your list is in a different order on your IPod then in ITunes just select any other column in ITunes other than the numbered column, e.g. Name. Your list should match now in both ITunes and your IPod.
Just use shuffle within the playlist to mix things up.
Once played your track should drop off your playlist.
Hope this helps.

I live by my Smart playlist to sort out all my TV shows and Video Podcast but it suddenly stopped updating after I paid $25 for the iTunes Match service.
It stopped in iTunes. I don't worry to much about my iPhones because I plug them in every day and it will update iTunes.
If iTunes doesn't work the apple TV, iPads and iPhones don't work.
Do I need to cancel the iTunes Match service?
Please someone find a fix.

Attention all Logic users: help is needed!!

Guys, this one is killing me:
I have an Evoluiton MK24 midi keyboard: about ten years old!
whenever i play a note on it, it registers in the transport bar as the next not up the scale. Also, it appears in the matrix window as the next not up the scale.
What is going on??
If i play a "C" on the MK24, a "D" will apear in the transport bar and matrix editor. Likewise for all notes played, they appera in Logic as the next note up the scale.
Obviously there is some sort of conflict but what the **** is it?
Can anyone suggest anythin as it is making playing very difficult, allthough because of this i have invented some very interesting sounding scales and melodies!!
Also, can anyone help me to understand how i can assign the 12 parameters on the keyboard (cutoff, resonance etc) to the parameters on my sampler. The sampler is connected via midi to Logic and the MK24 via USB to Logic. Do i set the controllers inside Logic for the control of the samplers parameters or inside the sampler. I am really confused with the mdid keyboard/controller thing, someone please help!!
Cheers, John.

It sounds like your keyboard is in transpose mode. Try another piece of software to see if it is showing the same results. I recommend the free and very useful MIDI Monitor at http://www.snoize.com. If you see the same thing there, check the keyboard's manual to see how to make it stop transposing.
If it turns out the keyboard is not transposing, there's a chance you have a transform object in your Logic environment that's doing the transposing, but the chances of that happening without you knowing it are pretty close to nil unless your studio-mate is playing a practical joke on you.
You might want to try the sampler parameter question in another thread with a more descriptive title.

Multiple ipods users and one computer

Our household has several iPods but use one computer. I just purchased a new iPod and when I connected to the computer (Windows XP) it allowed me to identify my ipod but sunced the other ipod user's music. I'm lost - how can I or can I maintain 2 different syncs?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key (or the Option key on a Mac) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

Don't laugh, but please help this new ipod user

ok. I am very computer illiterate and a new ipod user. It seems I cannot figure out how to "send" my 5th generation/video ipod MUSIC LIBRARY to the I-tunes library on my second computer ( i tried to make a playlist but it won't allow). I have downloaded all software from the ipod into both computers, but I cannot seem to get my ipod library onto my ibookG4 itunes library. Make sense? When you all are done laughing at this newbie, it would be great if someone could explain how I do this? It seems there should be a way to save my ipod onto this laptop? thank you very much

Well don't laugh too hard because I Had the same problem but with a Windows
technically its illegal to do that but there is a legitimate way to get around it
What you have to do is enable disk mode on your fifth generation iPod
and it acts as a huge storage device
Then Just copy all the music files into the disk mode
and take them off on your laptop
Just Make sure you don't sync or restore your iPod

The iPod "user's iPod" cannot be synced.

Since my laptop was reimaged/rewaved, I can no longer sync iTunes with my iPod. I am using iTunes 8.1.1.10, and it does have and play all of my music, movies, podcasts, etc. from the PC. When I try to sync my iPod 160GB Classic, I receive the following message:
"The iPod "user's iPod" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
This error message is followed by another one:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "user's IPOD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
iTunes could not save to your iTunes Music folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music folder...."
I am the administrator of my laptop, and I have checked and updated permissions on all of the folders containing my iTunes music to full control, ie. includes write access. I have authorized my PC, and completely re-installed iTunes. I think that the problem is with iTunes or my PC, because I was able to sync my iPod with another iTunes on a different PC. I even tried re-creating my iTunes library and playlists, and it still will not sync to my iPod.
Can you help me, pleeeeeeeze?

I have exactly the same problem on my work PC. It started after I installed the latest version of iTunes. I tried uninstalling iTunes, deleting the itunes directory under "My Music", and reinstalling, but even that did not work.
My iPod still syncs properly on my laptop, so I'm fairly certain it's not a problem with the iPod. Would be nice if someone from Apple would comment on this issue; there are several threads with the same complaint (some going back several years) with no definitive fix.

TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Trying to use itunes uniquely between 2 different ipods/users on one PC

hello
I have recently installed itunes/my ipod (shuffle) onto my user setup in windows XP - I installed it in My Documents instead of the default - because I knew my sister had her ipod (20 gig 3g)/itunes on there under the default SO I thought installing it again under my docs would give me my own unique version.
However - my sister then went on later to charge her ipod and found she couldnt access Itunes - It was looking for it under her documents - I guess my installation has confused things and she cant access my docs obviously, anyway.
What should I do?
just delete my Itunes (ive only put 1 album on there) and let her install it again on the default?
Will this connect again with her itunes music stored in her music? and ultimately will we open it to our OWN librarys/settings etc, when all is sorted?
Kind Regards
Windows XP

It sounds like you have three file management issues.
You want separate Libraries, which are usually My Docs/My Music/iTunes, but can be set to land somewhere else in Preferences.
You should make a copy of that folder now to backup the other user's info.
You want separate playlists and play counts etc, which come out of the .itl and .xml files, which seem to be hardwired to land in My Docs/My Music/iTunes, unless you change the definition of the My Music folder using a program like TweakUI, which I don't think you have to do.
Then I think your issue has become the location of the program files. The program files that launch iTunes usually live in something like C:\Program Files\iTunes\ It sounds like these are the files you installed to My Docs, so your other user cannot get to them to launch the program.
My recommendation would be to
1.)back up the songs of the other user by copying their c:/documents and settings/username/username's documents/username's music/ folder (assuming that's where your other user's music landed)
2.) disconnect all iPods
3.) then uninstall iTunes and QuickTime under your account
4.) reboot
4.) Login as the other user, then re-install with the program files landing in the usual C:\program files location and the library files landing in their default spots.
And after that, the other user's library should be in their my docs/my music/itunes folder and yours should be in yours, with the shared program files located in the C:\program files location.
Cheers!

Problem updating iTunes to 8.2 under all OS user accounts

I'm posting this for my brother.
Background: He has an iMac setup with multiple user accounts similar to how I have mine: Administrator, Parents and a separate account for each child. He recently updated iTunes to version 8.2 while logged into his (Parent) account using Admin privileges. I perform my app/OS updates this way as well and any app update is reflected in the respective app under each account. They share a common iTunes Music Store account but keep separate libraries and music folders.
Problem: After his son updated his iPod touch to 3.0, iTunes blocked the first sync indicating he needed to update iTunes to the latest version. When he checked to see what version his iTunes was under his account, it showed version 8.0. He performed a software update, iTunes 8.2 showed up so he downloaded it and, after admin credentials were entered, he installed the update. No luck. Still 8.0. He did that a couple times with no success. Since then, I've had him restart, trash pref files, and download the full update from the Apple website but nothing has worked. His iTunes still shows as version 8.0 even though all other user accounts on their iMac shows version 8.2 and he can't sync his iPod.
I don't believe OS X installs multiple instances of an app for user account purposes so I'm truly baffled by this. Should I uninstall iTunes in his user account? Under the Parent account? Which account "owns" the iTunes app? Is there some other way to get it to update?
I've searched the forums and Googled the issue and I can't find a similar issue anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

We did that as well. They can only find one version of iTunes in the Applications Folder. "Get Info" on the main account shows version 8.2 yet a "Get Info" on the kids account shows version 8.0. Performing an upgrade check from within the kids accounts finds the 8.2 updater and after running it, it indicates that the upgrade was successful. Once the upgrade is applied, the version still remains at 8.0.
Has no one else encountered this? I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes in the kids accounts because I don't know what it will do to the main iTunes.

Finally happy Ipod user Firewire is the key

Hi there people, after a long time I came to the solution...I hope this could help someone else. I have a 4G Ipod 40GB and a new up-to-date Asus laptop with Xp, USB 2.0 and firewire 4 pin.
Over the last 5 months my Ipod was able to work properly only the first connection to laptop; trying to reconnect the second time Ipod to the laptop using USB was impossible: everytime appeared "need to be restored". In addition other problems as unable to restore successfully, iTunes can't transfer music, ecc. Well, I've wasted a lot of time trying all the solutions suggested on the discussion forum and now I'm more windows experienced than Bill Gates but I was not able to use the Ipod.
Last desperate action was to invest additional 40 to buy a firewire cable 6 to 4 pin and an adapter to connect 6 pin cable to Ipod dock. Well guys, really surprising everything works fine now.
I don't know if firewire connection is the ultimate solution to all Ipod problems but please consider that Ipod was born for firewire port so this is "natural", USB connection was added subsequentely and it is "un-natural" with all the related problems.
Probably Apple is a little bit "unfair" because a laptop XP USB users should be made aware of the possible troubleshottings and the possible additional expenses to solve them, but this is the market...
at the end, what I would like to communicate is: when you are very close to sell your Ipod maybe it is worth investing some money for firewire connection, it is verylikely that is the solution

This is why I will continue to suggest firewire even though there are many times I take a lot of flak for it -- if I can convince even one user of the validity of switching it's worth all the crap I get from the others <g>.

Multiple ipod users

there are 2 new ipod users in the house now, how do we keep the music seperate. i'm really lost!!! we connected both new ipods to the computer and cant figure out how to get music on them. also... how do we delete songs from a shuffle?

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods with one computer. See them here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
also... how do we delete songs from a shuffle?
If you're on manual managing mode in iTunes, all you have to do is:
Connect your iPod to your computer.
Click on its name in iTunes' left source panel when it gets recognized (after a few seconds).
Click on the iPod music library, select a song, then click on "Delete" key, or drag the file to your Trash bin on your computer.
If you're on automatic transfer option in iTunes, you'll need to remove the song from the playlist you're syncing to your shuffle, or just the whole library; depending on that you're currently set for.
Then, re-sync the iPod again, and the song should be deleted on this sync.

TS2771 on i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc. When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc. When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

The user guide says:
Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
also appear only in landscape orientation.
Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
