Cannot add files to iPod

Hi,
I have an 80GB iPod Classic. I use Windows 7 and Windows XP.
When I try adding media to it through iTunes, it freezes, and I have to disconnect my iPod to make my PC work again. When I disconnect, it says "The iPod 'Shivangi's iPod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found."
When I try to restore, my iPod appears empty in iTunes but when I disconnect it, it returns to its original state.
Many times, my PC doesn't recognize the iPod at all.
I visited an Apple dealership a few days ago, and they successfully added songs to my iPod (they did not use my iPod cable; they used another one) and said that there must be a problem with my computer. But I tested my iPod with two more computers (running Windows) and faced the same problem.
Could there be a problem with my data cable, or is there something wrong with my iPod hard disk?

Shivangi:
This one is going to be tough. The OTHER category should only have album artwork and pertaining information. It should not have the actual audio files as yours seem to be going in.
I would recommend one more RESTORE however without formatting the iPod Classic separately like we did the last time. Just a straight RESTORE while connected to iTunes. Resync and move your music. If it presents the same issues again then there is a good chance that your HD may be failing.
There is a way to to a diagnosis on the hard drive. If the above does not work then perform the [*_Hard Drive Diagnosis as indicated in this discussion thread_*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11542633&#11542633] . Please pay particular attention to the post made by TuringTest2 where he explains with detail of what one should be looking for. The Reallocation of the Hard Disk Space is the key. The greater the number the higher the indication that the Hard Drive is failing.

Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
Have also had a couple of "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.

Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Ever since I downloaded Safari 5, I cannot add files to emails (esp photos). Safari would freeze up, and I would have to power down and reboot in order to surf. Any solutions to this matter other than switching to gmail?

This issue also happens in fresh Windows 2012R2 installations, not just upgrades from 2008R2!

I cannot add files to my gmail or att yahoo but i can in I Explore

I cannot attach files to my gmail or my att yahoo. On gmail I can only attach one at a time. Att yahoo, none will attach. This has just change in the last couple of weeks, before that there was no problem attaching files to either account. Finally frustrated beyond my limit, I switched to I Explorer and attached three files and everything worked fine. Hence, it must be aFirefox problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Help!

I have the same problem as well in both my PowerBook & my gf's PC laptop. Ever since we updated to 7.6.2 we have been unable to add/import any songs to iTunes Library. I tried File>Open, double-click file on desktop, drag & drop, but nothing works. Songs count stays the same value so to confirm nothing has been added to it. All other functions worked fine including playing, streaming, burning, sync to iPhone/iPod nano, etc.
I'm on TiBook G4 with 10.4.11, while my gf's PC is on WinXP-SP2. Both machines have all the latest updates. On both machines we did uninstall & reinstall iTunes but didn't help. On the Mac side I also deleted the pref files to ensure a clean install.
We can't do anything right now but to wait for the next update comes and hopefully the problem will be corrected.

IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's

Cannot Add File to Library in iTunes version 7

(prenote: I have completed the 5 R's)
I do not seem to be able to add a file to the iPod with the Add File function like I used to in version 6 of iTunes. I now have to Import File for the podcasts and mp3's which I would like to add. Then, when these are imported to my library, the iPod begins having difficulty being recognized by iTunes.
Is there an update coming for v. 7 ??

no response from any one.

How to add files to iPod Touch?

The manual states this is the procedure to add files to an iPod Touch:
Transfer a file from iPod touch to your computer:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
3 In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
4 On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Problem is, there is NO file sharing section at all in app section of iTunes.
I would like to put the PDF file of the iPod Touch manual on the device but see now way how to do so.
Thanks for any help.

That section is talking about how to move files from the iPod to iTunes and not the other way around. First you need to import this PDF into your iTunes library.
The next thing you'll want to do if you haven't already, is download the iBooks app to your iPod. From there, configure your iPod to sync the PDF from the iPod's Books tab in iTunes.
See these two articles for more information on using and downloading the iBooks app as well as how to sync Books/PDFs to your iPod.

Cannot add playlist to Ipod

Whenever I try to add my playlist from my computer to my ipod, the crossed out circle appears, and I cannot add it. I found that when I go to my Ipod, the bar that shows how much space is left has a lock next to it. Does this mean anything?

It is in Autosync.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click on the music tab.
Select the playlists you want to put onto the iPod.
When you wanto add/delete music from the iPod, just do it from these playlists and then sync the iPod.

Cannot add file to Documentum. "Create" operation failed for object id=null

Upgraded ro Frame 11 recently and now I cannot add a new document to Documentum. I get the following error.
I still have Frame 10 installed and can check in the document with it, but Frame 11 does not recognize it as a FrameMaker file.

A version of the CMS interface became available later that resolves this issue. Unfortunately, I don't see a link to it.

[SOLVED] Cannot Add Files to Existing Briefcases; New Briefcases OK

I have a user - probably the only user I can recall ever using this feature - that is unable to add files to existing briefcases.
When attempting to drag & drop a file into a briefcase (any) a small window or pop-up appears & disappears and the file isn't present. The pop-up displays and hides all too fast for us to see what was written as it happened well under a second.
The problem seems specific to the existing briefcases:
If the user creates a new briefcase, and copies the files from the old briefcase into the new, just like above nothing actually gets copied into the new briefcase.
If the user copies the files from the old briefcase into their desktop, then copies the files from the desktop into the new briefcase, it works fine.
So the current fauxlution (faux+solution) is to go through the latter process, but they have a few dozen briefcases and that's going to take some time.
To be quite candid, I'm not entirely sure where to begin - how does one go about fixing a broken briefcase?

Hi,
Sorry but I'm afraid to say that with limited information, it's somewhat hard to find out what exactly happened. What is the result when copying from a new briefcase to another new briefcase directly? Are there anything recorded in the event viewer?
Might be helpful for troubleshooting.
Since we're unable to reproduce this issue, I recommend you use process monitor to trace the process when copying the files form old to new briefcase.

Cannot add file in time machine to ignore list

Hi,
I have here Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and bought a time capsule.
I have parallels installed as VM and file fault is activate for my home directory (I'm the only user on the mac book pro).
Now I wanted to added the paralles harddisk to the ignore.
But time machine does not allow it.
If I open the options all file in my home dir are greyed out.
How can I add files in my homedir to a ignore list in time machine?
TIA
Matthias

sry, maybe I understood you wrong.
If I change one file on my file fault (which is around 40GB of size) does time machine then backup the complete sparse file again or only transmit the change?
it only backs up the changes. that's why sparse bundles were introduced in leopard - precisely to deal with this very issue. a sparse bundle disk image as opposed to a regular sparse disk image is split in a number of small bands (8Mb in size by default). when TM does incremental backups it only backs up afresh new and changed bands and hard links the unchanged bands to existing backup copies. that makes backing up sparse bundles using TM somewhat bearable. if you try to back up a regular disk image with TM it will back it up afresh after any change however tiny to its contents. that would quickly fill up the backup drive if you are talking about a 40GB disk image.
If it only transmit the change I can move out my parallels disk to the folder All Users and ignore the file here.
