Copying my ipod mini info to the library.

For the life of me, I can't get my ipod songs into my library. I looked over a few of these posts and tried some things and they didn't work. I have it set to manually manage songs and Enable Disk Use is checked, but I can't drag any songs from my ipod to the library or copy and paste. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Be sure to try another set of headphones, if you have one.
Since you already did a Reset, the next thing you can try is to go to the Settings screen on the iPod (from the main screen).  There should be an option at the bottom that says something like Reset All Settings.  Choose that option to reset iPod to default settings.
If that does not bring back the sound, the next thing to try is a Restore in iTunes.  Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  The Restore button is there.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is a software or settings glitch, a Restore should fix it.  Try putting a few songs on the iPod to check if there is improvement.
If that does not bring back the sound, it is probably a hardware problem.  A fix would then require replacing whatever part is faulty inside the iPod.  It could be the headphone jack or something on the logic board.  Moisture getting inside could have caused the problem, but it could just be age; maybe the headphone jack is just worn out.

  • How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    I found out an easy way....
    With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears. 
    iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file.  Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
    Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file.  The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
    There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund".  This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
    I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great.  I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0).  It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
    Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.

  • What steps do I need to take for the iPod mini to remember the last song?

    What steps to I have to take for my iPod mini to remember the last song that I played from an album when I turn it on again, after I have turned it off.
    Whenever I turn my iPod mini off, it seems to go back to the main menue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Depends on how long you are leaving it turned off. If it's more than enough time for the iPod to go into deep sleep, then when next you turn it on, it restarts with the Apple logo and returns to the main menu.
    If it's only for a few hours that you leave it turned off, then the iPod should resume from the point at which you left it.
    I don't know for sure whether the "remember playback position" in iTunes works after the iPod has been in deep sleep.

  • Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

    Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
    It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
    I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
    Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
    But no trace of it anywhere….
    Thx for any reply.

    The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
    into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
    have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
    Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
    and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
    discarable by many.
    Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
    I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
    Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
    preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
    projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
    Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
    for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
    resultant derivatives. 
    The fact that I like to keep them is
    indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
    indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
    I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
    Another bad habitude.
    But
    since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
    issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
    ( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
    with this problem
    Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
    Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
    original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
    One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
    intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
    strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
    derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
    and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
    you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
    worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
    Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
    That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
    that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
    into your catalog.
    Since my catalog is made in the time
    from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
    subdirectory's...
    Easier
    for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
    I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
    and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
    I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
    thanks

  • I have 333 songs on my library but only 108 on my ipod...on the library there are ! in front of them and they wont copy to my Ipod..how can I fix this

    Hello, I have 333 songs on my library list but only 108 on my ipod....on the library the songs that won't download to my Ipod have ! marks in front of them, how do I get rid of them so them may go on my ipod?

    The ! usually means that the song file has been moved or deleted. If you can find the song file on your hard drive, you can remove the song from iTunes and put it back by using File>Open and navigating to the song file. There is also a location that iTunes will look for song files (I'm a Mac guy, so I don't know where it should be in Windows, but for me it's HD>Users>My User Name>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music and then there are various folders for different albums, podcasts, etc.), so I would keep them all there.

  • Sorting songs on iPod mini like in iTunes library

    Can the library on my iPod mini be sorted by Sort Name like my iTunes library can? If so, how?

    No, the sort options info does not carry over to the iPod.
    The iPod sorts by album/artist only.

  • Ipod Mini not matching Itunes library

    For some reason my Itunes library is not matching my ipod mini. More songs are on the mini. Is there a way to synch my library with my mini so I don't lose the songs from the mini?

    If you have songs that are on your mini but not in the main library of iTunes you will have to use some third party software to copy those songs off the iPod and put them on your PC and in iTunes. go here

  • Set up home sharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. tried to sync music in library but ipod is not syncing the library. why not?

    I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc.  I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library.  why not?

    Hey harold WD!
    You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

  • IPod doesn't recognise the library it's synced with

    I'm not sure since when precisely, but very recently my iPod has stopped being synced with my Mac. "Sync Music", for example, is no longer selected, and when I do select it, I get warned that everything will be removed from the iPod and replaced with songs from my library.
    The thing is, except for updates from Apple, nothing has changed with either my Mac or my iPod since it last worked.
    I've only got USB 1.1 so I really don't want to have to put everything that's already on the iPod back on there! Any ideas, please...?
    Cheers!

  • IPod Mini is on the desktop, but not in iTunes

    I know a variation of this question has been asked a zillion times, but for some reason I can't seem to find the answer. Anyway, I'm a recent switcher to Mac and used my mini for years on the PC, but when I hooked up the mini to my new iMac it only shows up on the desktop, not in iTunes. However, when I plug it into the USB port it actually opens iTunes, but just doesn't show up. Anyway, I saw some other posts about running a restore via iPod Updater in the Utilities folder, however, there's no iPod updater in my utilities folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Any help here?

    im thinking about getting the ipad mini but I want to know if it comes with the new earpods?

  • How to have more than one playlist on the iPOD mini ...?

    This may seem a silly question - after all, isn't it the whole point of the iPOD ? Anyway, with my current setup, I cannot get more than one playlist onto my ipod mini.
    Using Win2000Pro, connecting using USB; there have been lots of other issues involving ' cannot read/write to ipod ' which have been reported on these forums , I started having problems after Apple 'upgraded' iTunes from 4.9 ...ended up with nothing on the ipod at all. Since then a few upgrades and now running iTunes 6.0 (not 6.0.1), it DOES sync with the ipod but does not let me manage the playlists:
    Since my library is > the ipod ( 4 GB model) I cannot use the option ' sync all songs & playlists' , which is what I originally used when the library was < the ipod. At that point I did get ( automatically I think..) a few playlists onto the ipod.
    Howeever, since the library got too big, I have to select 'sync to these playlists only' . I use 1 master list, which works, ( it syncs all the songs to the ipod and I get just that playlist on the 'pod) but any attempt to select another playlist from that dialogue box results in consistent hanging of iTunes, and you have to kikll it in task manager.
    I would have thought that you could simply drag n drop a playlist onto the connected ipod icon (that would be more elegant) but the inteface doesn't allow it..
    Oh and another thing ..why does the syncing tool delete ones on the go playlists from the pod ? I can't even get around this issue by making them manually on the 'pod as they get deleted when syncing.. Grrrrhhh
    Where to go from here guys & gals ??
    Thanks...any tips gratefully received

    Ok I'll try that, although I did try it earlier when I had iTunes 5.xx loaded, I think.
    As to size of playlists, I have a master (900 songs) that defines what will fit onto the ipod , I then generate all the others as subsets of the master (not of the library)- hence I know they will all fit
    Can you also clarify something for me: the dialogue box we are discussing is intended, I think, so that one can set the automatic synching of certain playlists between the PC & the ipod. Is that the only way one can select other playlists to go to the ipod - i.e. as static once-offs, not synchronised ?
    Apple' docs, I think, are poor in this regard - they assume most ipods are bigger then the users song library and they gloss over the details of this alternate mode of playlist synching.
    Thanks - Nick
