Can't recover songs and itunes very slow
My computer crashed and had to be totally restored so I lost itunes and everything. I downloaded it again and proceeded to try to sync with my nano. First of all, itunes was running way slow...so slow that I thought the computer was freezing but its not. Itunes is the ONLY program that this happens to. When I plugged my ipod in it said it wasn't synced with this computer and gave me two options to sync it, both of which would have pretty much wiped everything off of it.
I did some digging and found that I needed to get some software to pull the songs off of my ipod and put them back in itunes. I opted for Media Widget and it worked very well. It pulled all of the music off of my ipod and put it back into itunes. When I synce my ipod with itunes it started uploading the songs as expected but then I started getting messages similar to "this computer is not authorized to play (name of song)." I started looking into it and it is all of my purchased music from the itunes store. Its all in itunes but it won't upload to the ipod. So I thought I'd just create a few audio discs from the purchased playlist and then rip them into itunes and remake the playlist. Nope, itunes won't let me burn those songs to a disc, either.
So, I'm frustrated and a little angry that I can't get music that I paid for back onto my ipod. Anybody have any suggesions? Also, why is itunes running slower than molasses in January?
It seems I just needed to do a bit more digging. All I had to do was to authorize my computer in itunes and it loaded all of the songs to my ipod and everything is working again with the ipod. Itunes is still painfully slow and I can"t figure out why. It's the only program that runs like that and it was pretty slow even before my computer crashed. Anyone have any suggestions?

how to connect my iphone to iTunes with my imac so i can mannage my songs and other documents on my phone
Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

my ipod has broken. a friend has given me her ipod. but how do i get to use as mine. i can erase her songs and i have mine all on my pc in itunes. help me please friends??
It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary. -
I authorized and dled ITUNES to the new pc. Well i would like to know where is all my songs i purchased? I want to hear them on this pc, i bought them so where are they and how do i get them on here so i can buy new songs and make new playlists?
They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one? -

I'm having the same problem (iTunes 11.02!) .
I think this one isn't resolved because it IS rare: I've had iTunes on about 7 different machines (Mac and PC) since it begain (2001). In fact I maintain the same library without issues for over 10 years. Anyway this is the first time it's occurred (in my case it's happened on a pretty recent Mac Laptop). But as you may have discovered, google/bing searches for similar problems yeild VERY few results.
A guy at the Apple store was able to temporarily fix by doing some low level cache removal, that may give a glimpse to the reason, but is not a permanent fix.
I'm going to try a few things will report back if I have any luck**.
***If anyone else want to give it a try: Before starting bookmark the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 this describes the location and purpose of most of the iTunes library files. And, any apple support docs on creating a new iTunes library... I'm unwilling to try the let iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized " cause I have my own organization method. -
Accidentally erased songs and ITunes ignoring iPod
Not knowing very much on how to work computers and such i made a very big mistake. A couple of years ago i got my iPod, i installed iTunes into my computer (windows), works out perfect no problems, songs are still in the library at this very moment. I just got a laptop and i installed itunes into it too (hoping to transfer all the songs there from the first computer) that went well too, except when i connected the ipod to the laptop it asked something weird like "switch the library songs to the ones you currently have" or something like that and within seconds all the songs from the ipod are GONE! I then go to hook the iPod up to the main computer hoping to replace the songs and iTunes won't recognize that the iPod is hooked up.
If anyone can offer any advice on how to fix this I would really appreciate it. Thanks
iPod Third Generation Windows XPMelissa,
Is the laptop you purchased a Mac or Windows machine?
If it's a Mac, that explains why the original computer doesn't recognize the iPod any longer.
As for returning your music, try restoring using the iPod Updater--on the original computer. Then reload your music from iTunes.
If all goes well, switch your iPod to manual update, instead of automatic. -
How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version
I would really like to get these songs (not illegally like most people) because i really like them but they are only in the U.K. or Irish version of iTunes and I'm on the Canadian version
If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanksOS X is the same no matter where you buy it. You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

neither my ipad or ipod are being recognized by itunes so i can't transfer songs from itunes playlists to the two devices. this is new, as far as a week ago i transferred music from the computer to the ipod. can anyone help?
Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Query can run in Oracle 10g but very slow in 11g
Hi,
We've just migrated to Oracle 11g and we noticed that some of our view are very slow (it takes seconds in 10g and takes 30 minutes in 11g), and the tables are using the local table.
Do any of you face the same issue?
This is our query:
SELECT
A.wellbore
,a.depth center
,d.MD maxbc
,d.XDELT xbc
,d.YDELT ybc
,e.MD minac
,e.XDELT xac
,e.YDELT yac
from
table_A d,table_A e, table_B a
where a.wellbore = d.WELLBORE (+)
and a.wellbore = e.WELLBORE(+)
and d.MD = (select max(MD) from table_A b where b.MD < a.depth and
d.wellBORE = b.wellBORE)
and e.md = (select min(md) from table_A c where c.MD > a.depth and
e.wellBORE = c.wellBORE);Thanks I will move to the correct one..
Rafi,
Build the Indexes and it is still slow. I am querying from a view from another database, which is in 10g instances.
Moved: Query can run in Oracle 10g but very slow in 11g

Can you erase songs from iTunes, but keep them on the iPod???
Hi, I'm a newbie and tried to post this question earlier, but I'm not sure if it worked.
I'm wondering if there is any way to update your ipod, then take some of the songs on itunes, but still plug your ipod in later and keep those former songs on the ipod even if they're not on itunes. I'm thinking this isnt possible. But I wanted to make sure. I have limited HD space, but a 30GB ipod, so I was considering my options.
thanks!
angelaSet the iPod to sync manually; you can then delete songs from iTunes without them being deleted from the iPod automatically. You should keep another copy of the songs if you do this, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)
This is weird.
All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
Has anyone seen this before?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
JeffSince I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^; -

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow
i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. -
