Can only load a limited number of songs at a time

this is a brand new issue no my ipod video that has me worried the hard drive is going. but.... i've never had ANY problems with playback, watching videos, photos, anything. i load all music and videos manually, with the only sync being for certain photo albums. the problem is that if i load a small number of stuff - anything less than 100 songs is fine - no problems. but if i try to load a lot of stuff at once, it starts loading them in order, then inevitably fails at some point. i get the following error window:
"attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to."
in the past, i've loaded 1,000 files for more at one time with no problems.
because it only happens on large loads, i'm wondering if it's an overheating issue. but i've reset the ipod, reformatted the hard drive, gone into disk mode and ran disk utility (which found no problems at all), run through diagnostic mode on the ipod (which found no issues). i'm at a loss here. it's a big pain in the backside to have to load over 3,000 songs a hundred at a time.
whaddya think?
thanks.

i found the problem. ipod doesn't like my new combo usb/firewire hub. plugged directly into USB card on computer, problem went away. yay.

Can only synch a small number of songs at a time -- more than 20 or so yields "itunes has stopped working" error message.

When I try to synch more than a small number of songs at a time 20-30 or so), I get the error message "iTunes has stopped working." This happens on my iPod, iPad, and iPhone, so I'm sure it's an iTunes or computer issue. I'm using a PC with Vista.
I have reinstalled iTunes many times. I have also taken care to delete all iTunes related files from my registry. Any suggestions? It is a pain to manually synch my library in batches of 20 songs at a time. If someone has a solution to this, I would be SO GRATEFUL.

How can I print a greater number of songs on a cd jewel case insert.

How can I get around the number of songs limit when printing a CD jewel case insert? I have a set list of 50 songs but iTunes will only print about 25. There doesn't seem to be any way to reduce the font size.

1) Use a List, with a custom itemRenderer
2) Use a Repeater (Probably easiest)
3) use Actionscript to addChild() components.

If I want to buy 10 - 20 shuffles for nieces and nephews for Christmas... can I load about 11 favorite family songs onto all of them from one of my playlists?

If I want to buy 10 - 20 Shuffles for family Christmas gifts and load a family play list on each can I do that without buying them for each shuffle?

You can, but these songs will need to be erased before they can sync with another iTunes library. iPods can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with another computer and iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
A better route to go would be to buy them iTunes gift cards or something along those lines.

HT1349 In the recent version Itunes, I can't find the total number of songs status line in my song library window as before.

Downloaded the most recent versin of Itunes. Now I can't see the total number of songs in my Itunes library as before. It used to be on a status line at bottom of song Library screen. Where can I view the Total ???

From the View menu > Select "Show Status bar...'

Question When I do a search for an image I only have a limited number of images. There used to be a ton of pictures on my screen and an unlimited amount of pictures to look through. Is there a way of changing this back to the way it used to be???

Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

Can only load Norton Identity Safe in one Firefox window.

I can only load Norton Identity Safe in one Firefox window. I used to be able to open up my Identity Safe and log in on any open window. Now it only opens in the first Firefox window I open, but not in any others. Can I fix this problem ?

Hi,
You can try deleting [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js sessionstore.*] files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder profile folder] after exiting Firefox. To open the profile folder via Firefox: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder'''.
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder & Files]
Please note that deleting the sessionstore.* files would also forfeit the open tabs so you may want to bookmark them. You can '''Bookmark All Tabs''' by right-clicking on a tab. For the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs?s=tab+group&r=2&as=s App tabs] you would have to bookmark them individually.
If the problem persists, the [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/bd-p/Toolbar_IDSafe Norton support] would also be helpful regarding any new issues in the toolbar functionality.

Did you copy your files to her computer?
This is what you need to do.
I need her files off of my computer, but do not want to delete anything of hers.
No idea what this means?

How come I can only get 200 of my 700 songs to show on my display in my new truck?

My operating system has nothing to do with my question but I was asked to enter the info. I have a 4th Gen iPod & do not know why I can only get 200 of my 700+ songs to show on the display in my new truck. All my songs are from purchased CD's or iTunes. The dealer of course has no idea why this is happening. Please help.
Thank you,

This needs to be done manually, either by transferring them from the first computer, or using the Transfer Purchases function if applicable, or by clicking here and following the instructions.

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?
For example there are four files named "test1.h & test1.c" and another set "test2.h & test2.c" (I attached them as attachment to this post).
test1.h contains code:
int variable; //variable declared as integer
test1.c contains code:
variable = 1; //variable assigned a value
test1.h contains code:
char *variable; //variable declared as string
test1.c contains code:
variable = "EXAMPLE"; //variable assigned a string
So here, in this case can I dynamically load / unload the first & second group of files so that the same variable name "variable" can be used both as integer and string? And if yes, how is that to be done?
Solved!

What do you mean by "dynamically"?
If you want to have a variable that either is an int or a char in the same program run, I'm afraid your only option is to define it as a variant and assign from time to time the proper data type in the variant according to some condition. Next, every time you access the variable you must firstly check which data type is stored in it, next access it in the proper way.
If on the other hand your option or to have a run in which the variable is an int, next you stop the program and in a following run it is a char, you may have it by using some appropriade preprocessor clause:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
#include "test1.h"; // variable defined as a char
#else
#include "test2.h"; // variable defined as int
#endif
Next, every time you want to access the variable you must proceed in the same vay:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
variable = "string";
#else
variable = 1;
#endif
Does it worth the effort?
Additionally, keep in mind that this "dynamical" approach can work only in the IDE, where you can properly #define your CHAR_TYPE or not depending on your wishes: when you compile the program, it will have only one #include depending on the definition of the macro.

I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?

IPod video 5th G - Can only load about 15 songs before it crashes and won't allow me to add any more - Is my hard drive broken?

I have an iPod Video, 5th Generation - a few years old aye, but it does the job. Recently it crashed and wouldn't respond at all, I tried the 5 R's and the iPod wouldn't restore at all. Finally I managed to restore it, but then encountered a new problem.
When I try to put new music onto the iPod the maximum I can really add is about 15/16 songs (currently sitting about 112 MB). I can use the iPod just fine with this on it, but I can't add any songs or anything past this limit. I can take songs off and add new ones on, but again cannot pas this limit.
It is a 30GB hard drive, so I should be able to load near enough 30GB onto it.
Whenever I try to pass the limit and add new songs a message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "RUSSELL'S I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).", and then a second message pops up reading "iTunes could not copy "Song" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)."
Looking to find out, does this mean my Hard Drive is broken/damaged, or could it possibly be a different issue, as buying a new hard drive is reasonably cheap, but if it turns out to be the motherboard or something else then I don't want to have wasted the money buying a new HDD only to find out the problem hasn't been fixed.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or anybody found a way to fix it?
Cheers
Russell

See here: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod
You can use the disk diagnostic tool built into the iPod's firmware to test the health of it's Hard Drive. See this post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to do this as well as what the resulting numbers mean.

Can only load 38 songs on 1GB Nano... what's the deal?

Capacity is supposed to be approximately 240 songs... I can only get 38 songs loaded. All songs are around 4 minutes and all 128kpbs?? What now?

How much hard disk space do those 38 tracks take up in iTunes?
Perhaps you could try a Restore on your iPod and try to sync again.

Can only load 25 songs to shuffle

Hi, I can only sync a max of 25-30 songs to my shuffle. If I try to add more, I get a message that there is no "room" left. How can this be for only 25 songs? Any suggesstions? Thanks, Kelly

You probably ripped these songs from a CD in WAV or AIFF format and they are 40 - 50 MB in size each.
Set iTunes preferences to import CDs using AAC 128 and you'll be able to get many more songs on the Shuffle. You can use iTunes to convert the ones you have.
