Do I have to use Itunes to put music on to my IPOD?
Can I view my files and copy and paste them on?

In order to load your iPod you will need iTunes, it is a great program and it is free.
Windows Requirements

* 500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
* QuickTime 7.1 (included)
* 256MB RAM
* Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
* Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
Additional Video Requirements

You can download iTunes at the following URL

I hope it helps, and good luck.

Yes.
You can use it as a removable disk but you won't be able to copy music to it.

Can no longer use itunes to put music on ipod touch?
I have an iPhone that I have no issues when using the itunes macch, BUT my iPod Touch I do not want to always have to connect to wi-fi to use music, on a run for instance, when there is n wi-fi available. I want to use iTunes like before wheree I connected it to iTunes and picked which music I wanted synced with the iPod and then the music was on there. Right now all I can do is see an option to download the music t my ipod when connected to a wi-fi network. I am on sattelite internet so I cna not going to use all my download allowance for something I already downloaded and just need to transfer.
Basically what I want to do is transfer whatever I want from Itunes to my iPod touch and then turn on iCloud for the rest that isn't on the iPod, so if I AM in a wi-fi area I can listen if I want, but if i am not in a wi-fi area I astill have some music that is on my iPod itself.
Please help! So annoying!! I love apple, but they need directions for these issues.
LyndsieYes you can use the music, but you cannot use the iTunes program to do it.
So:
Find the music files on your computer.
Make sure the audio format(s) are compatible. MP3 is a definite yes, but the iTunes favorite AAC is a maybe, and you will have to check what your player can handle.
Then, follow your player's instructions to copy the music to the player. For many players this means to just connect it and drag the file icons into it. -
Do I have to use itune to download music?
I have not clue what to do. I just got it last night. I tryed to put songs on from my window meda player but the songs don't appear on the stupid ipod.
Itunes isn't stupid - it just needs a little patience. In iTunes go File/Add file to library - and then browse for the music you want and click OK. Itunes will import it. Once it's in your iTunes library it will put itself onto your iPod when you plug it into your PC. You can change the way your iPod synchronises with your library - just read the help files. It's all there.

Are there any other places I can buy/download (legally) my music videos other than iTunes?
Also, can I use my CDs and put them onto my iPod?You have to use iTunes to put your music onto your iPod, you can put any CD that you have in your iTunes library then it will load into your iPod. As far as videos you can put DVD's onto your iPod but you need some kind of conversion software they need to be in the MPEG-4 format.

Using iTunes to put my CD collection on my computer and then to my iphone5, I have an older Optiplex with 40 Gb internal and an external 1.5Tb drive. Question is can I get itunes to point to the 1.5 Tb drive to store my music, and if so how?
Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.

I purchased an iPod shuffle for my niece and nephew last year for Christmas. My nephew's has come up missing and I have strong reason to believe it was stolen. Amazon cannot give me the serial number and I used my iTunes to put music on it initially. Is there a place I can find the serial number on my iTunes and can it be tracked to different computers if someone else is using it? My nephew no longer has the packaging.
Type "ipod serial number" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the article explaining how to find the serial number.

Hi there, could someone please help me, i didnt have my icloud on before my iphone 4s broke. I have always used iTunes and everything was backed up on there and now im finding it hard to restore my phone with contacts, photos etc.
Dear Tylerkeefe,
Good morning. Getting notifications that you are close to exceeding your allowance can certainly be alarming. It would be my pleasure to help put your mind at ease.
I understand you are not streaming movies, music, etc. Which these features will use a lot of data. Are you using the Mobile Hotspot on your phone. This may also cause you to exceed your data allowance quickly if you do not power if off after you are done using the feature. To turn off mobile hostpot tap settings>general>personal hotspot>off. Do you have any third party applications that you have installed that may be running a lot of data?
To ensure applications are not consistently running in the background do the following press the menu button at the bottom of your phone twice. All the open apps will then appear. Select and hold the bottom of the screen. A minus sign will then appear in the top left of each app. Select each minus sign to close out the application.
I hope the information given will help clarify what is using a lot of data on your phone. Should you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
Thank You,

I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
The 1st message is;
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.
Hi Saramos,
When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
Family purchases and payments
When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
