Damaged music files when synched with Ipod

Hi
I have a Mac Book Pro, and an 80GB Ipod Video. When I synch between Ipod and Itunes, some of the music tracks get damaged. Parts of the songs dont play properly for a few seconds then revert back to normal. I assume this is when it is being written to the Ipod disc, but how do I ensure seemless transfer?
thx

OK,
After hours of working on this I beleive I have figured out how the iPod organizes photos if your a syncing it with a windows directory.
The iPod uses the order in which the opertating system stores the photos in the file directory. What this means is renaming the files has no impact.
However, if you rename them in the order you want them, then do a select All, which is normally control-A, then drag them to a new folder, the operating system will then copy them by their alphabetic name into the new folder (You may have to be view the original folder sorted by name.)
Now in this new folder the operating system has stored them in the file system in the same order as they were named.
Now set the iPod photo sync directory to this directory and it should work.
Here is a second tip. There is an awesome shareware utility called irfanview www.irfanview.com This utility will allow you to rename an entire group of files with, for example, the date the pictures were shot.
After renaming, do a select all and copy to a new directory. Then link the iPod to this new directory and you will have the photos on your iPod in the order they were shot.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF APPLE JUST TOLD US THIS!

Tasks re-sorting in the MPP file when synching with SharePoint task list

When synchronizing the MPP file with the ShPt task list, we have seen tasks re-sorting in the MPP file. Very annoying, especially with schedules with a large number of tasks. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and if you
could point me in the right direction for solving it. FYI, listing below my signature the columns we are synchronizing (in case you know of an issue with one or more of these).
FYI, we are using MS Project 2013 Pro and SharePoint 2010. We tried using the synch feature with MSP 2010 and it did not seem to be available.
Greatly appreciate your help on this topic. Sincerely,
Michael.

Hi,
The resource is created as a new resource with no security group and no loggin account, meaning it is strictly a resource and not a user. So this resource can be assigned on others projects but cannot connect to PS in any way (thus does not consume a CAL)
unless you convert it into a user by adding a valid account and a security group.
Hope this helps,

Itunes freezes when synching with ipod

When I connect my ipod to synchronize my itunes library it starts to synchronize then very soon freezes. Not even force quit closes itunes. This is very strange as this never used to happen and I have updated neither my ipod nor itunes. Can anyone help?

Do you have any Disk Scanning software on your computer? if so, what program (is it McAffee?)
Also, have you tried turning your firewall and all security and internet security settings to OFF? (after closing iTunes)
After doing that, connect your iPod and open iTunes. See if turning off the firewall helps.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

Updating music files from itunes to ipod

hi,
i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
i'm using manually manage my files.
i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
is this meant to be?
do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
thanks for the help

OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
Let's start with that and go from there.

How can I transfer my old music files to my new iPod using a different computer from that used on the old iPod?

I got a brand new iPod and wanted to put the music files on my old iPod to the new one. In addition to this I would like to know how to sync my new iPod to a different computer from that of the old one. Is it possible for me to accomplish all this with music rescue?

Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

Itunes 10.5.3.3 error (-42404) now lost synch with ipod, previous ver OK.

Updated Itunes to 10.5.3.3 and reveived error (-42404) now lost synch with ipod, previous ver OK. Reinstalling with repair after downloading the Itunes.exe file did not work.

Error (-42404) SOLUTION - for Vista
Uninstall everything Apple as per Apple Forum "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for Vista". Be the administrator to ensure you have acces to folders and files which you may need to check. This is the solution that worked for Vista, but I read the solution for Win 7 is almost identical.

Missing music files when loading iPod Classic.

I just finished converting all our albums and 45's to MP3 files. These all list and play fine in iTunes, but when I load the files on our iPod Classic, there are always about 50 songs missing. I have done this 4 times, and it's not always the same files, but always about the same number of files. The missing songs are about half missing at the beginning of the list, and half missing at the end of the list. I have 7455 files in iTunes, but after loading the iPod, there are around 7400 files actually on the iPod.
There is plenty of free space left on the iPod, The missing files are never the same songs as I try different times. The files are not corrupted, as they list and play okay in iTunes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you might give.

"Other" means files that have become corrupt and the iPod no longer knows what to do with them.
The usual procedure is to move (or copy) your iTunes Library from your old computer to the new one. If the computer (or its hard drive) is not available, the procedure is to use the backup of the Library.
I'm guessing that you don't have a backup of your Library. Although your old computer has "died", do you still have the hard drive? If so, you could put the hard drive into a hard drive caddy, use it as an external device and copy the iTunes Library from that onto your new computer. A local computer repair shop should be able to help you with that.
Failing that, you will have to re-build your Library again.
If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, check in your store account to see if your country allows you to download the music (that you purchased) again.
If you purchased digital music from other stores, check with them to see if you can download the songs again. In Amazon UK, you can.
For music that you imported into your iTunes from CDs, you will have to import them again, from the CD.
For the future, I suggest you maintain a backup of your iTunes Library. If you now have an external hard drive in a caddy, use that. Otherwise, buy one, the larger the better.
Also, as you are now finding, an iPod cannot be put back into a new iTunes. Nor is it a backup of your Library. Everything should be in your iTunes Library - and backed up onto an external drive. The iPod is simply a portable "copy" of your Library, only for playing the music.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Stolen computer!! can i get my music files back from my ipod?

I had my computer stolen! And stupidly hadn't backed up my music files... All the files are however on my ipod. Obviously, i don't want to lose them so i'm looking for a way to transfer my files from my ipod onto itunes 8 on my new computer...
I've read about transfering the iTunes file to a new computer but obviously i can't do that because i don't have the old file.
Furthermore, i know i can listen to my files on my comptuer by, instead of syncing my ipod, chosing to manually manage my files. What i want to know is if it's possible to actually transfer the files permanently onto my new computer as independent music files instead of leaving them forever precariously sitting on my ipod.
IF i have no choice but to leave all the music solely on my ipod without backing it up on my computer, how do i go about syncing new music without deleting the old stuff?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

Itunes messes with my libraries and songs when connected with ipod.

On my itunes when i move songs around to other libraires and such it wont add them to the library when it downloads to the ipod. When i make my libraires on the ipod and i connect my ipod to itunes it deletes everything i have made on the ipod and reverts back to the libraries on itunes. Basically if i want my ipod libraries set up the way i want i cant connect my ipod to itunes anymore. I also have a problem with itunes not being able to locate music files in my library folders after i move a few songs around or add mor songs or whatever. How do i get my itunes to leave the libraires the way i make them and not keep songs from transfering over to the ipod. Its actually ******* me off. its not that the songs arnt playable they just keep getting removed on their own. how can i set up my music files in a folder where itunes will resort to and not have any problems locating the files.

For anyone who hits this thread: Hit view, then "hide music in the cloud." Your libraries will return to how you have built them.
Kelly, your music is still probably on your hard drive. The iCloud is just a cute techy way of saying that you have online access to things you've purchased from apple... just wait until they make it so that you ONLY have online access to your purchases, and nothing ever comes "off" the cloud for you to tangibly own.
Folks, this is a smoke and mirrors gimmick to make you buy-in to the itunes store. Let Apple manage, deliver, and DECIDE all the content that you will see. It's at least one degree more insiduous than corporate radio.
Kudos on the crisp interface and larger album cover displays, but...
Apple cannot find cover art for 1/3 of the library that I have built. That is because Apple does not carry that music. Apple will never host music from ancient vinyl that I have remastered, Apple will never host the shows of obscure electronica djs or the local bluegrass bands that put out EPs in the western US in the 80s. If you restrict your music experience to a single venue, you are not only missing out, but you are supporting an economic model which quashes music that does "not meet industry standards." Have fun with iTunes 11 kids.

Music files now unreadable on iPod touch. Please help

Hi, I have an iPod touch with a month or two left on the warranty. After 10 months of carefree use, I've got this situation: the iPod says there's no music on it whatsoever.
* The music still exists on my computer's external drive and is playable via iTunes.
* The iPod still has photos, contacts, calendar data, everything but music and tv shows intact.
* When I plug my iPod into the PC's USB slot, it is recognized in iTunes. The same number of gigabytes appears to be filled as yesterday, but now all the former music and video exist as one long orange "Other" section. So it looks like the files are there, but are not recognized.
* I tried to sync, but iTunes warns me that the iPod is already too full for that (Full of orange "Other" files).
* I did do one screwy thing recently: After consolidating my library from my computer to my external hard drive, I recently started deleting content from the iTunes folder on my computer. I left songs purchased via iTunes intact on my pc out of paranoia. I only deleted music from ripped CDs that I can easily restore.
* Perhaps, in the process above, I deleted a file that helps the iPod recognize the music files?
I have no idea what happened. Do you think I should reset everything, destroying my calendar data, etc.? Or should I send the thing back while it's
still under warranty? Many thanks.

Corrupted, yes. There are different levels of restoration, but I assume
you're talking about the big one, the one that takes it back to its birth
at the factory?
I definitely want to try that before trying to send the
thing back, but I haven't yet found a way to export my calendar data.
(I'll copy it by hand).
Thank you for the reply, blackbelt.

No content in music file, can't sync ipod for numerous errors-HELP

couple of days ago I tried to add some more songs on my ipod touch and it didn't work. For weeks it has been asking me to update my software but I can't because the error message says not enough space on MacBook's hard drive.
now I have disconnected the ipod touch from the computer and on the ipod there is no content on the music file. But when the ipod is plugged into the MacBook in itunes it shows there is content, all my files are there and I can play them though itunes.
so I deleted tons of files on MacBook and deleted some songs on the ipod so I would have room to back up, but it still won't work.
I also get an error message and when I looked it up it has to do with voice memos- which I have none on the ipod. (13019)
What can I do to fix this problem? I know the music is there I just can't find it.
HELP
thanks

OK guys...no need to reply....I am resigned to never getting to the bottom of the syncing problem....I just go from 13109 to other error codes, downloading little umbrellas, putting th eipod in DWI mode (or something like that), restoring, getting anew error code, not being able to download updates etc. etc. - so I lost my patience with sitting in front of my computer trying to fix something I paid nearly usd 800 for (in my opinion the manufacturer should make it properly in the first place, or warn you about its faults before you buy)............
I synced my iPod to the computer, lost all my content ans restored only witrh what I had on this computer's iTunes - thus losing the countless CDs and vinyl I had converted to digital on my other ocmputer at home in Mozambique, which my current iTunes says it can't locate.
Am I really the only person who prefers to listen to music instead of spending hours and hours on the computer trying to fix this useless machne?
I wish I had never wasted my money on this thing. I guess it's just inappropriate and too sophisticated for where I live and for my simple needs (wi-fi and music only).
Very big thumbs down from this novice for the iPod Touch and for the iTunes way of doing things in general.......

Can't move music files to playlists or ipod...

I've used iTunes for years, but for some reason, when I try to drag my music files to a playlist or to my iPod, the little green plus is not appearing and the playlist/iPod name does not highlight when I pass the cursor over it. I can't move any files anywhere! I can't move them from playlist to playlist or anything. I have "manually manage music" checked. I can't move old files or my new ones. It's not the iPod, because I can't move the files to playlists, either. I'm wondering if iTunes has a bug? I think I just updated it today.

It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume.

ITunes No Longer Synching With iPods, Not Connecting with iTunes Store

iPods: both iPod touch, 2nd Generation, 8GB
iTunes: (Most Recent Version)
Issue:
For a while, the iPods of myself and a family member have not been able to synch our iPods with iTunes anymore: when plugged in, it only appears to charge, does not show up in "Devices", does not do anything. I've run Diagnostics several times, tried redownloading iTunes, & checked settings, etc.
Also, whenever I try to go into iTunes Store, it says that it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even if connection to the internet is fine.
These problems started occurring simultaneously, as well as out of no where. As I recall, I had no problem synching & going into iTunes Store the day before.

Ask your other family members if they did. Something has to have changed.
I am betting it's something on the PC, since two ipods going bad at the same time would be highly unlikely.
If you have auto updates turned on for Windows & security software, it might not even be obvious they occurred.
You can try restarting your modems/routers/and PC, in that order.
