Audiobook will not move to iTunes... Please help.
Hi,
I am using the ListenAlaska website, this is a legitimate library type of free audiobook rental download website.
I downloaded an audiobook: "The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials Series, Book I" to try this out for the first time.
It successfully downloaded & allows me to listen to it on my computer.
What I really wanted was to put it on my iPod, it only allows rentals for 7 days, so I wanted to do it soon.
I have tried to put it on my iPod through iTunes of course, but I keep getting the same error messages from iTunes, the first saying "One or more of the songs you are adding to iTunes, including "The Golden Compass-Part01.wma", are in the WMA format. iTunes will automatically convert them to the AAC format so that they can be added to your iTunes library."
There are 2 button options to either "Convert" or "Skip".
If I click the "Skip" button the Audiobook does not move to my iTunes.
If I click the "Convert" button the next message says: "The song "The Golden Compass-Part01.wma" could not be converted because it is in protected WMA format.
This error has only one button option that says: "OK".
This doesn't move it to my iTunes either.
I checked the ListenAlaska website for help & found infomation on Publisher's Permissions, & I thought maybe this was not allowed to be put on an Ipod even though it is in the "Ipod Friendly" section.
So I checked in the properties of the audiobook & it says that it is permitted to be on rented an Apple iPod device.
How can I get this to go into my iTunes?
I can't seem to find any other help on the website & it just isn't going onto my iTunes.
Please let me know what I can do.
Thanks very much.
I use this service from my local library, too. Slowly, they are starting to get tracks that will work on iPods because of feedback from library patrons.
I am not sure how ListenAlaska does it, but my library clearly marks which tracks are WMA-protected. I know these will never go onto my ipod. I can only listen to them using Windows Media Player on my PC. There are some tracks that are not WMA-protected, and those I can drag into itunes and put on my iPod. But it's never popular titles ; (
I suggest contacting your library - the more folks who ask for iPod-compatible files, the more likely they are to start getting them. There is now an Overdrive version for Macs, so they are getting there.
edit - Back to your problem, I think those tracks are marked wrong on the ListenAlaska website as being iPod friendly, when they are not.

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP
I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.
The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player. -
IPod Touch will not connect to iTunes, please help..
I purchased an iPod Touch yesterday. I synced it up to iTunes, everything fine. After disconnecting and then reconnecting later I found that the computer didn't recongize it and it did nothing but charge the iPod. I've tried many times, all to either have it do nothing, crash iTunes, or give me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)". I've tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole Apple Device Service, the USB problems.. everything. I have USB 2.0, Version 1.1.2 of the iPod, and iTunes version 7.5. Please, please try and answer my problem.
I've also restored using a friends computer, it works fine the first sync after I restore on his comp, but after that it does what I described above.
Please helpI was having the same problem but what I made was:
Conect iPod Touch into a USB port but from the back of the PC
Then *shut dawn* the iPod no lock *shut dawn*
then reinstall iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.5 o later)
open iTunes
turn on iPod Touch
and it most work
o restart your PC and try again -
my iphone 4 i bought was jailbroken to ios 6.0.1 redsn0w but i tried to restore the iphone and now it keeps saying connect to itunes but when i connect and try to restore an "unknown error" occurs and it will not boot up whatsoever. please help!
If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

How to solve this problem that I havei've had a few issues like this.
I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
several troubleshoots.
1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work. Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc). One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync). to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes. Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone. Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up. Try to perform a sync - it likely will work. After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
let me know if either works -

My safari will not upload any website please help.
You may have more than one issue, but the most important one is that your internal hard drive is failing, or there is some other hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

You'll have to get it serviced or replaced again, contact Apple, usually a replaced device is under warranty for 90 days as well.

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

Download and install the newest software if you have not already done so. See my post above for the links. After you have done this, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.

PS- What do you mean when you say it will not allow you to right click on it? FYI- Sometimes when there's something going on with your iPod's hard drive, it takes a really long time for the computer to respond to commands for it. So, if you're right clicking and then getting an hourglass, please be patient. You'll get there eventually. -
