  • Unknown error when trying to copy music from itunes to ipod

    Message appears "copy to the disk IP failed unknown error -53. Any ideas?

    good gracious, Dick. you keep getting hit by exotic error messages. (in these circumstances, a -53 code is reasonably rare.)
    just checking on something. what got you past the "exception" message that you were getting when you were trying to launch itunes? (thinking here that info on that might possibly give us a heads up on what might be happening with your -53.)

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

    How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.  I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

    Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback.  I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod.  I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs.  I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again.  Do you know how to back up music to my computer?  I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • How do i copy music from iTunes to usb?

    how do i copy music from iTunes to a usb thumb drive?

    If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

  • Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

    I currently have an iPod Touch.  Have downloaded the most current iTunes.  Have the latest software update for the iPod.  For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod.  Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod.  Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail.  I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so.  Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes??  All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
    So how the heck do I do this??  I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this. 

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • Copy music from my old ipod to my new ipod touch

    I want to copy my music from my old ipod to my new ipod touch, how can I do that?

    You have to transfer the music from the old iPod to iTunes and then sync it to the new iPod.
    - To transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:

  • Unable to download music from itunes onto ipod

So i dragged the selected songs onto my ipod icon, it started to copy then it freezes and causes itunes to crash, inturn making me have to reset my computer as i can't close itunes down, even when using task manager.
    -I tried this a couple of times
    -I tried to download tunes on some elses itunes
    -I updated to the latest version of tunes
    -I checked the software on my ipod
    -I resetted my ipod using the middle and menu button
    And still all these alternatives brought the same result. Would anybody please be kind enough to advise me on this as im at a witts end and would just like to know if i have to take it to get serviced or is there something else that i can do or am not doing?
    Thanks

    I've got no fix to give you, but I'm having the same problem, so you're not alone.

  • Cant copy songs from itunes to ipod

    I have a new computer and installed itunes and music.  However when I connect my ipod it shows up but I cannot transfer songs from itunes to it.  What is the cause of the problem and possible solution?
    Mike

    It's because your iPod can only be synced to one computer at a time unless you enable the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's summary tab. However, this method of syncing is much different from having iTunes automatically sync content for you.
    So in order to sync your iPod with the new iTunes you'll need to copy the music from your iPod over to your new PC and then erase and sync it.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

  • Importing music from itunes to ipod

    After I've transfered music from a CD or purchase music from itunes music store when I plug my ipod into the computer to copy the songs nothing happens, it just shows on the ipod 'do not disconnect.' but its been like that for over an hour and I only transferd 1 cd & purchase some tracks from itunes music store. Anybody any idea what I am doing wrong ?

    Tracey, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    • Does the iPod show up in the iTunes Source list (left side of iTunes, below the Music Store entry)?
    • Look at "iPod Options" (right-click the iPod in the Source list), what synch method are you using - auto, playlist, or manual?

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

    I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro.  My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone.  We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone.  I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
    She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup.  can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"?  I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa?  I really just want to put my music on there.
    I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
    Thanks

    Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
    Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.

  • Import/copy music from Itunes to imovie doesn't work

    I tried to add Music from my Itunes libary to Imovie (open Itunes/add to libary)  but when i click Itunes or Music in Imovie there is no Music shown, with garage band it's the same problem.

    Hi
    I do - always - Copy out from iTunes to an Standard Audio CD (as this is plain .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz)
    And the files on this CD I use in my movie projects - AND have near to ZERO problems with the Audio at least.
    NO .mp3 or other strange format - all is converted one way or another to .aiff.
