Cannot copy mp3 files to ipod after 4.3.1 OS update

I updated my iPod Touch to 4.3.1. Now when I open iTunes and try to copy mp3 files to my iPod the cursor turns into a circle with a line across it indicating I cannot copy the files. I manually sync as I select a few items from my PC library. This method has worked fine for years. Only failed after 4.3.1 update. Any ideas? I have rebooted both PC and iPod several times. No joy.

Hey PlanB77,
Here's why I know the problem is Apple and NOT a problem with the aftermarket cables.
I have a total of (6) aftermarket cables. These cables support several Apple devices (iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and iPad)in different locations. All (6) of these aftermarket cables have worked just fine for many months. After the update to 4.3.1 on my iPod Touch, NONE of these cables work on my iPod Touch, but the original Apple iPod cable works fine. These aftermarket cables still work fine on my other Apple products that have not been updated.
It is beyond comprehension that all (6) aftermarket cables have failed only on my iPod Touch while working fine on all my other Apple devices. Hence my comment, Apple has become truly pathetic. They now demand your dollars for overpriced cables. As this change to the OS is without a public announcement and after I have purchased cables from other vendors I stand by my conclusion.
Oh, and Apple wants to charge for support to tell you why their OS 4.3.1 upgrade broke your product. That adds insult to injury.

  • Cannot copy mp3 files from CD

    Hi All,
    I've some cd's which contain mp3 files. These were burnt using a windows machine. When I try to copy these files into my mac, it gives an error 'Insufficient Privilege'.
    I'm able to browse through the CD, but i'm not able to play any songs from it.
    I checked the CD access rights, and its a 'read-only'. Will this be a problem for me to copy files? Is there any way that I could copy these files?
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • I cannot play mp3 file on itunes after i recover it from an external hdd

    hey guy'z i need a little help here
    i have a large mp3 file from an old 2TB which had a problem and then recovered and transfered to a new ext hdd.
    now after the recovery was done and i'm trying to play my music on the itunes it wont play
    any solution guys?
    and another thing is the wma file why i cant i play it also on my itunes?

    iTunes cannot play WMA files.  Use a conversion program such as Switch or EasyWMA to convert the WMA to MP3 or AAC.
    For your problem MP3, make sure it is a valid file by playing it in another player such as QuickTime.  If it plays there but not in iTunes, then it needs to be cleaned up with a program such as MP3 Validator.

  • Cannot Put Any Files On Ipod After Attemping Update

    I tried an update, it stalled for a bit in itunes, then i clicked and it seemed to finish up. Disconnected and all seemed fine but now when i go to plug it in i get this;
    http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8826/problemjr2.jpg
    I would do that, if it gave me the option. The ipod isn't identified at all. I tried reinstalling itunes, and resetting the ipod no luck. I just bought this 60gb ipod, i'm definatly bummed by this. If anyone knows how i can just wipe it or do something to get it to work please let m eknow.

    Hi Nicholas-
    Sometimes an easy fix for this is to de-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then to re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, then the computer will be authorized again. Sync you iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes (5.0). If you don't, you can get it from here.

  • Some files dont copy or sync to ipod after editing--.

    some files dont copy or sync to ipod after editing , but when i again do some more editing or revert it back  , it works normal

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • Build Issues - cannot copy phonegap files

    All was working fine last week.  I haven't personally modified any files or locations.  I contacted Adobe support, but they said it was a plugin issue so no help from them.  I also noticed that Adobe hasn't answered to this same problem posted before in the forums.  What's up with that?

    I'm running Dreamweaver 11.5 Build 5344 in Windows XP.

    I searched high and low on the internet for weeks trying to find a
    solution, I finally decided I would pay Adobe for an answer... So I
    called their paid support line.  I was told that it would cost $40,
    but I had spent so much time that $40 seemed OK.  After talking to
    someone that didn't know much, but was able to replicate the error,
    he directed me to Level 2 support.  He never ask for a credit card or
    any payment.
    When I called the level 2 support, it said that it would cost
    $240....  That was quite steep, but since I had wasted much more than
    that on non productivity, I proceeded.
    I got ahold of someone (they must of been in India), a little bit
    hard to understand.  She wanted to link to my desktop to watch what
    was happening.  After she looked at a couple of things, she
    immediately when to this solution, and it worked..  She also did not
    ask for payment.
    I don't know how they can say it is someone elses problem, as they
    own phonegap, and jquery in part of dreamweaver, and all I was doing
    is creating a new jquery / phonegap application from their included templates.
    I am just glad after days of struggling, we have a solution.

  • Can I copy mp3 files from my PC to my iPhone4?

    I have an extensive music collection that I've already digitized from vinyl and reel to reel tape. I have a file structure on my pc and don't really want to use iTunes as a player or download app; and I'm don't want to have iTunes on my pc re-organize my music collection. Any advice on how to copy mp3 files to my iPhone 4 will be greatly appreciated.
    A new iPhone user
    Pete

    The iTunes Music folder is on your PC. It's where iTunes will download things from the iTunes Store, and where it will by default store music you rip from CD or import. That's why you turn off that setting I gave above when you want your track files to be kept where they are.
    Can I attach my iPhone via USB cable to my PC and simply choose which music files to copy, and if so is there already a file structure on my iPhone?
    No. Tracks need to be listed in iTunes to be able to be synched to your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • Blackbery Link - browse pc folders and copy mp3 files not in music folder

    Hello to all of you
    I have music archives in different drives and pendrives
    It is not intuhitive at all how to browse local PC drives and or PC folders to select and copy single or many .mp3 files from the PC to the BlackBerry device.
    Please don't tell me that the silly solution is to move the mp3 files to the windows music folder.
    Additionally, i find really against an user friendly approach the BlackBerry Link in the music section. It doesn't allow to show the mp3 files names and use, manage and browse .mp3 files by their name, I see only
    - All the music
    - Album
    - Artists
    - Genres
    - Playlists
    well,
    - I have so many .mp3 files
    - they don't have all the mp3 tags
    - I see only an unfinished list which doesn't allow me to select the file I need, and I must scroll all of them every time
    A TOTAL NO SENSE in my personal opinion
    Anyway , from BalckBerry Link and from PC side, how to select one single mp3 file, QUICKLY, and copy it inside the BlackBerry device in the music folder?
    Thank you
    C0r

    Yes CRAZY!!! It is confirmed,
    trying to find a solution to this crazy behavior, I've turned to documents side.
    I've added my mysic folder to the documents and TA-DAAAH! The .mp3 files don't show!!!
    On the right panel a big string says "The folder doesn't contain supported files"!!!
    Well, looks like that BlackBerry Link leaks like the OS 10
    Anyway, if you can provide a solution that allows to copy mp3 files ID3-less (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3), mean that none of the ID3 has been filled, thank you so much in advance.
    To BB Link developers, think about allow users to tranfer files as files and not as you arbitrary want, thank you.

  • Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hi
    Apogogies if this has been asked before.
    I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
    The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
    I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
    Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
    Any help would be much appreicated.
    Thanks
    George

    Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!
    Software troubles can drive you a bit crazy. Sorry again.

  • Can not copy 8GB file to ipod classic 120 GB

    I am not able to copy 8GB file to ipod.
    I get error message "The disk in the destination drive is full. Insert a new disk to continue."
    But more than 75GB free space is available.

    iPod for Windows use is formatted to the FAT32 specification.
    Max. file size on a FAT32 partition is 4GB.
    Is this a media file you want to play on your iPod? If so can it be split into smaller chunks? Same applies if you're using the iPod for storage/transfer although it might be better to get a small external drive that you can format in NTFS for this use.

  • Error Message "Setup cannot copy the file gp.ocx".

    When I try to download Reader X to new Dell laptop running Windows 7 Pro, I get the error message as follows.
    Setup cannot copy the file gp.ocx.  Ensure that the locations specified below is correct, or change it and insert (Unknown) in the drive you specify.

    Can anyone help me with how to proceed? Thanks.

    Bummer!  I read something about getting this error due to insufficient permissions, but I attempted to install as local admin and didn't work either.  So I just uninstalled Adobe reader from the servers I was having this issue with, at least until a solution is available (?).  I'm not happy, it is not convenient if I have to use another machine to view PDFs, but I'd rather be inconvenienced than have unpatched servers.  Thanks for responding...let's hope Adobe responds...

  • DW CS4 cannot embed mp3 files

    Windows 7.  IE 8,  Firefox 3.6.8, Chrome
    I want to embed mp3 files in my web pages. I go to Insert/Media/Plugin and select an mp3 files from the box that appears. The placeholder for the player appears on the appropriate spot on the page. I highlight the placeholder and click on the Play button in property inspector. An error message then appears saying "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the Configurations/Plugin folder and the plugin folder for each of your installed browsers". The Config/Plugin folder contains NPSWF32.dll and UnsupportedPlugins.txt (contains npdsplay.dll nppdf.dll). Also when I go to Live view there is a blank space where the player should be. I do not have any problems playing mp3 files with WMP, Real audio or Quicktime which are all installed on my computer.
    What must I do?

  • I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

    I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

    Not working.  And it didn't used to be a problem.  iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album).  Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything.  Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well.  The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
    I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store.  Not gonna happen.  If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
    This worked fine before OSX 10.8.
