Cannot get old tracks and playlists transferred from my Ipod to my Itunes.

I lost the hardrive on my home computer last week. I replaced it and reinstalled an updated version of I tunes 8.0. I was previosly running the 7.0 ish Itunes. When I connect my Ipod to computer, it stays in the mode of do not disconnect. (forever). the tracks on the Ipod need to be moved onto I tunes library so I can use them on the computer. Unfortunatly, I dont know how to get the library to recognise my songs on the ipod. Can anyone shed light on this dillema for me?? Thanks!

iTunes is looking for your music in the default directory. Since everything was moved, re-direct it with the instructions I gave you:
In iTunes, click tools, and then preferences, then go to the advanced tab.
If you know where the music is on the E: drive, select it from the iTunes media folder location option.
It will reload all of the music to your iTunes - You can then select what music you want to add to your iPod.

Just move your iTunes library to you new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:

ITunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes

I have a number of WAV files and MP3 files that already have album information. I would like to erase that information and have it replaced using the "Get CD Track Names" function, but keep receiving an error message of "iTunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes." Is there some way to strip the previous information and replace it with information that iTunes receives with the "Get CD Track Names" function?

Programs like itunes use characteristics of the CD such as track duration and sequence to identify CDs. Potentially this could be modified in a very small manner (maybe even a millisecond) in converting to a different format so maybe itunes doesn't even want to try getting the information for other formats.
You can certainly replace whatever information you wish by "get info" on a single or multiple selection of files and entering the data by hand.

How do I get my songs and playlists from an external hard drive into iTunes?

I have got all of my songs and playlists on an external drive from my PC. I just bought a mac and can't understand the directions to get my songs and playlists up and running in iTunes...Can anyone help?

If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you

for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 .

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint. I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues. Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint. I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues. Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

I am aware that Sprint has network issues. I have learned that Apple does have reception issues with the 4s. The 5 series has more antenna area and a different protocol. I have owned at least 6 iPhones personally and over 30 as a company. The 4s is junk. Apple's attitude toward customer service is much more of a problem than Sprint's network. Apple sent me your non-answer to my questions instead of anything real. I asked about the iPhone, not about Sprint.

How Can I Get My Ratings and Playlists to Mirror Across Multiple Accounts?

I'm sharing my music across two accounts on my Mac by placing my iTunes folder in the Shared folder, with an alias to that in each User's Music folder. It works fine, but the User of the other account would like the benefit of all my Playlists, and would especially like to have all My Ratings.
How can I get My Ratings and Playlists to mirror across multiple accounts? I would've thought simply importing the <iTunes Music Library.xml> file would do it, but since we're both using the same iTunes folder, we must already be using the same XML file, right?

The answer about where the ratings, etc. are stored is not an easy one, but the best I can figure is that it is a combination of the iTunes Music Library.xml, the iTunes Library file, and the com.apple.iTunes.plist. Apparently, the com.apple.iTunes.plist (in the under User/Library/Preferences) references the other two files. If you close iTunes, take the com.apple.iTunes.plist out of the user's Library/Preferences folder and then reopen iTunes, you will see that all the ratings, play counts, etc. (track information) will have disappeared. If you close iTunes, replace the com.apple.iTunes.plist, then reopen iTunes, the track information will be restored. The playlists, which are not part of the track information, seem to function independently of the com.apple.iTunes.plist, but if you share the whole iTunes folder across accounts, this should include the playlists. When I back up my iTunes library to another folder, I back up a copy of the current com.apple.iTunes.plist from my User/Library/Preference folder. I think that the way this works across multiple accounts is that the com.apple.iTunes.plist reads track information from the other files in the iTunes folder, because if you throw away the com.apple.iTunes.plist from one user account, it affects all the other user accounts sharing the same iTunes folder.

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

Copying Playlists and Playlist Folders from iTunes to an iPod

I have my music library structured in iTunes with Playlist Folders (for Composers) which contain Playlists (for Works). Now I am having trouble duplicating this structure on my iPod.
Just after Playlist Folders were introduced in iTunes, the iPod (mine is a 160GB Classic) didn't support Folders at all. But in some later version suddenly it did. Great! Everything seemed fine. But now, when I try to copy a Playlist Folder by Drag and Drop to the iPod, on the iPod it ends up just as a Playlist (not a Folder), at least as seen by iTunes (v8.2.1 (6)). Actually on the iPod itself, the folder structure (under Composers) is displayed but iTunes shows the entry just as a Playlist. I've tried disconnecting the iPod and restarting iTunes but that didn't help.
Am I doing something wrong in the copying? Can anyone suggest how I can copy Playlist Folders to the iPod so that iTunes displays them as Plalist Folders there?

Many thanks again for the extensive answer.

Once you have the playlist sorted correctly in iTunes, then use the "Copy to play order" command I mentioned and then re-sync the iPod. The sort order on the playlist on the iPod should then match the order in iTunes. If not, then I suspect you're doing something wrong.
I did use the "Copy to play order" command as you described. The problem I have is that, although the play orders all look fine when seen from iTunes (both for the music library and when looking at the iPod), on the iPod itself the order is not correct. Quite likely I'm doing something wrong but I haven't been able to discover what
rockmyplimsoul wrote:
Do you mean "Structure" as in playlist folder/plalist structure, or do you mean "Sort order"? If you are auto-syncing the iPod then the playlist folder/playlist hierarchy should transfer exactly as it is in iTunes.
Understanding "Structure" may be part of the problem. Maybe I'm trying to do something that is impossible. I have built my private structure in iTunes, using Playlist Folders for composers and then Playlists (within the Folder) for each work of that composer, e.g.
-Playlist Folder: Wagner
--Playlist: Wagner - Das Rheingold
----Track 1
----Track 2
--Playlist: Wagner - Götterdämmerung
----Track 1
etc.
That works fine (for me) in iTunes.
On the iPod, though, you get something similar via Composers but I don't really believe that the iPod is using my structure. Rather I think it finds the composers via the Composer tag in the "songs"/tracks and then makes groupings depending on the album. That works out similar to my structure, for I define albums for each work. However, I'm not really convinced that my playlists as such are used at all on the iPod, even after syncing (as evidenced in the example where I had two playlists in iTunes with the same album name and they were merged when seen on the iPod).
That aside, it still doesn't explain why the play order is sometimes (but not always) mucked up when looked at directly on the iPod, when the same work's play order looks fine when the iPod's contents are displayed by iTunes.
At the moment I remain confused and puzzled. I won't now be able to follow the problem further till after the weekend but maybe next week I'll try deleting the playlists which are causing me trouble (with the play order) and redefine them, to see whether the confused play order happens again.

Replacement ipod old library and playlist

So i just got my replacement ipod after my last one's harddrive went dead...so I did everything to to get it synched to my old library and playlist...however when I do this itunes is making a second set of playlists for this ipod...how to I just get it to synch with the old playlists (without creating the second set of playlists). I hope you understand what I'm saying...it's like when you attach someone else's ipod to your library and it gives you the message about that ipod being associated with another library if you would like to associate it with this current library and if you select yes it creates a second set of playlists...
