Can internet speed affect itunes and nano from syncing properly

Got the nano for christmas and everything worked good for a while...then every problem you could imagine ..then it was ok.... then it wasn't...and on and on...we had the problems all of them!...literally........wondering now if my internet speed lags at times causing it all when we connect to either download purchased music or load in our own cd's making syncing unsyncable!!the nano tries to sync but noooooo!....we are sympatico basic lite internet,between dial-up and DSL.......thanks to anyone who has any thoughts

I would say "no". Generally speaking, you don't download music (or whatever) AND sync your iPod at the same time. My guess is your problems have probably been related to either your firmware version (you should be on 1.0.3 now) or whatever ELSE your computer was doing at the time, so you might try closing ALL other apps (including internet browsers) when in iTunes.

ITunes and iPod not syncing properly...please help

When i sync my 60GB video iPod with iTunes it starts to work, a few files or podcasts are copied then it seems to get "stuck" then an error message appears:
attempting to copy to the disk "My Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
Ipod software and itunes are the latest versions.
I've restored the ipod without success, in fact this was a pain as all my music was wiped from the ipod and can only be put back on a gig at at time. I synced with itunes on my other laptop PC and this worked fine so i think the ipod itself is ok.
see below for the diagnostics report for the ipod:
Also iTunes is also having some problems closing down properly and can be a huge resource hog (50% CPU) sometimes, this was never a problem before. Should i remove and then re-install itunes? The only other thought i had was some kind of problem with album art which i have attached to music files using itunes art importer. I did this ages ago and it has never been a problem before.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance....

Re: conflicting software. I'm not sure what would conflict with iTunes. no new antivirus/spyware or firewall software installed.
hmmmm. let's follow up on that anyway. firewalls typically have to generate a new set of rules for iTunes (and QuickTime, and some of the itunes background processes) when you install a new version of itunes.
try the techniques described in the following document (but leave your ipod service enabled):

do you still get that message after connecting the ipod after doing a selective startup?

ITunes and Match not syncing properly across devices

I have a Mac Mini, a Macbook Pro, and an iPod Touch, all less than 1 year old, meaning they're all the latest generation products. I also have the latest version of iTunes installed (V11, I believe).
I hooked up an external CD drive to my Mac Mini and I've been loading in my CD collection.
I'm rather amazed at the number of albums where iTunes cannot find album artwork. It also gets really confused on multi-CD albums that it can't seem to find on iTunes.
For example, Billy Joel's "Greatest Hits" album, which is a 2 volume set. On the iTunes store, it's listed as a single CD. So iTunes cannot find the freaking albums if you load them in as two CDs. ***?
I manually added cover artwork to both. But Match only downloaded Vol 2 onto my iPod Touch. It loaded both albums to my MacBook but not the artwork for Vol 1.
When I connect the iPod to my MacBook or Mac Mini, it's impossible to download Vol 1 of this album onto the iPod. In fact, iTunes thinks Vol 1 *IS* on the iPod, when it's actually Vol 2 that's on the iPod.
When there are obvious errors between iTunes and my iPod, I can find no way of fixing them. I can't delete the albums through iTunes because it's already confused about what's on the iPod. I can't do anything on the iPod side. And Match is oblivious to the errors.
I have reset my iPod twice now, removing all content and reinitializing it. Match pushes down whatever it thinks is there, errors and all, and there's no way to make any corrections that I can find.
I've also got lots of albums that are not available on iTunes. I can't find any explanation of what Match does when this happens; all I've found is descriptions saying that when you load your albums with Match activated, it will download the songs to all of your other machines in 256-bit AAC encoding. If an album isn't on Match, iTunes cannot find the artwork, and often Match won't download the artwork either, because I'm guessing it's looking for it on iTunes. The artwork shows up in iTunes, but it can't be forced down to the iPod. So I get a big grey question mark. You can lookup an album in the iTunes store, but you can't tell iTunes "this is the album I've got". If there's not an exact match in some of the metadata, you can't get them to sync up.
Many songs I have uploaded as parts of entire albums on my Mac Mini won't download onto either my iPod or my MacBook. I get a generic (and useless) warning saying "iTunes cannot download the song you've selected". Nonetheless, these songs ARE on my Mac Mini, the CAN be played, and there's no way I can find to tell iTunes to RE-UPLOAD them. In most cases, these songs tend to be the first song on the album.
I don't understand what is so complicated about all of this that the metadata for the albums has to be so tightly controlled and that there's no way of pushing updates to metadata down to the iPod, or even correcting it on the iPod directly. I'd guess that iTunes uses the metadata to sync everything. But when there's a discrepancy between a physical album and what's on iTunes Store, there's nothing that can be done about it on the customer's end because it seems that "iTunes Store Rules"

Another screwy album is "Time Traveler" by The Moody Blues. It has 4 CDs and a "Bonus" CD in the album.
iTunes Store shows it as a single CD album.
In iTunes, it shows up as two albums: The first contains Disks 1, 3, 4, and 5, while the second is Disk 2.
Initially it loaded up as a bunch of separate albums, which I corrected by saying they're all parts of a Compilation. I also had to load the artwork manually. But I cannot get them to show up all as a single album.
I wish there were a way to tell iTunes to "merge" multi-CD albums into a single album on iTunes. I've got several of them, and it's annoying that iTunes regards each CD of a multi-CD album as separate albums.

Cover Flow on iTunes and iPod not syncing properly...help!

When I add an album to my iTunes library, it works fine (i.e. it's grouped properly) in Cover Flow, but when I sync it to my iPod, it doesn't show up properly on my iPod's cover flow. How do I fix this?
I guess I should add that the album has an Album Artist because there are three tracks with different artists. Get my drift? PLEASE HELP!

It will probably help if we know what it does do.
Is it:
1. you turn the iPod to landscape so that covers display, but there is a problem here?
2. while in portarit mode, the cover is displayed - but in your case - what?
3. something else?
Oh, and by the way, 21 views (from other users, not trained Apple staff) in 1 hour and four minutes - probably not from everywhere in the world! (Take note of where I am.) It can take a day or two before someone who knows the answer reads your post - usually after they have finished work, getting home, eating, etc etc.

Can't drag movies into my nano from itunes

I have a Nano 5th gen and when i connect it to itunes and try to sync movies i get a message saying that the movie can not be played on my ipod. can anybody help?

Hello RP 24,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Were these videos purchased from the iTunes store or imported from your own collection?
If they were imported to your iTunes library, trying using iTunes built in converter to convert the iPod to a more iPod friendly format. To do this, locate the video you wish to sync to your iPod, right->click on it and choose "create iPod or iPhone version" from the shortcut menu (or via the Advanced drop down menu). When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod and see if that helps.
Hope this helps.

my daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb port. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

If you set up Home Sharing and are on the same network you can share your library. However you must be using the same itunes account. Another option (if you are trying to download to a device) would be to sync over Wi-Fi. I hhope this helps a bit. If you let me know what you are trying to accomplish I may be able to give a better answer

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID. If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
Hope that helps.

How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something? Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something? Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.

Can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

Hi everyone,
I keep my 4 & 5 star songs on my C drive and the rest (all stars, 1,2 3, etc.) on my exhternal hard drive.
Whenever I want to listen to my music, all I can readily play are the tunes on my C drive.
I'm guessing the issues having one library for tunes stored on separate drives is insurmountable?
I say that because I'm guessing that my iPod (4th gen) is only capable of importing from one library?
I think the biggest issue is either I don't know how to (or maybe users can't) list a second drive so that iTunes can load all songs from both drives whenever I do have the second drive up and running.
Adding to the second drive library issue, I can't figure out how to permanently tag my external HD's (I've got 6) so that their drive letter is not automatically defaulting to their order of prescence.
I can deal with that issue by simply not opening iTunes while I the second drive has been assigned a drive letter other than what iTunes (hopefully) is set to (i.e.; hopefully C and F drives).
But can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

Seems I've over come what is something I'd hoped/expected iTunes would be capable of (ie; reinitiating the pathway for external HD music files when their drive letter is the only thing that changed).
I tried the obvious by going to iTunes's Edit>Preferences>Advanced and clicking the change button for "iTunes Music folder location", then entered the current drive and pathway (as the drive is currently assigned, F as opposed to the original G) and of course iTunes still couldn;t find the missing tunes.
Giving up on the hope that iTunes was designed smarter than it is (ie; each and every single missing tune req's manual redirection of pathway, as opposed to a preferable tick box for something like 'use the last redirected pathway').
And I finally figured out how to properly changed drive letter assignments, but still uncertasin if that means permanently tags my EHD's with that drive letter.
For that to be permanent, maybe I need to name each drive regardless that Windows already has unique inforamtion on each HD. Suppose I'll soon find out if the drive at this point has fianlly stored its drive name and whether or not Windows will contiue to change the EHD drive letters simply by the order which I am introducing them to the os.
No real luck with rats nest USB hubs as they crash my os alot, so I'm left to trying to find an easy way of managing the EHD drive assignments. THe following is the closest I've yet to come to doing that:
Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management, and then in the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
Right-click the drive, partition, logical drive, or volume for which you want to assign a drive letter, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change.
Click Assign the following drive letter (if it is not already selected), click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
Again, too bad iTunes doesn't afford a 'find' feature for 'missing' files such that one might be afforded a tick box for 'do not prompt again, instead use the last indicated location for "iTunes Music" folder as the base storage location'.
This drive renaming thing is a real hassle. Not like somebody couldn't have guessed it and Windows and/or iTunes can't afford some script, etc. to better manage 'tagging' EHD's and/or re-locating 'missing' tunes.
But then what would we have to complain about, not that they listen anyway.

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.
