Does not recognize playlists

Just bought a new iPod Nano 4GB today, firmware version 1.1.3, iTunes 7.7.1 on a Mac Mini.
When I sync my selected playlists, it doesn't keep any files (tunes) that I recorded myself (non-downloaded or from commercial CD's) in the selected playlist; instead, it syncs them all together into one "unknown album", even if they are from different playlists. Same thing for compilations: if I mark any of these files as a compilation, it puts everything into one big compilation. Same thing if I try to use folders and playlists within them.
This makes the unit just about unusable, since I keep different types of tunes in playlists to separate music types, and make them easy to navigate to, just as in iTunes. I've tried using "manage files manually", and still doesn't list the playlists, and doesn't always transfer all the files to the iPod. I also can't seem to find a way to simply drag-and-drop the files to the unit.
The software and firmware versions are what I had to install in order to get the unit to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gary

Ok the second question first, since it is easy to answer. You can pick any track, or a number of tracks at the same time, do a Get Info (File -> Get Info or simply type Ctrl-I), then type in whatever album name you want in the album name field. So say you have 5 songs you made yourself and want to simply call the album for them "June 2008". Select those five tracks at the same time, Get Info, type in "June 2008" and hit OK.
As to your playlists, let's back up a bit. You plug in the iPod, it shows up in iTunes, then you configured it to Sync only the following Playlists, at which point there is a list below of all your playlists currently in your iTunes library. Then you pick one or more of those playlists. Right so far?
Then what happens. Does iTunes now appear to be putting those playlists onto the iPod?

iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
"Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site. The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked. The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

Nokia Music does not recognize my 6233, but PC Sui...

Hi,
I using my 6233 for a long time now.
When I connect my phone to my Windows XP USB in Standard mode, it will be recognized fine by the PC Suite and I can access all functions from that software.
When I connect the phone as a storage device it is recognized by Windows and a drive letter is assigned.
That's all fine so far.
Since I've updated to the most recent PC Suite, there is a new 'Nokia Music' item.
I clicked on it to organize my playlists on the phone and it installed a new software.
This new Nokia Music Software does not recognize my phone at all.
I tried all possible connection methods, but there is never a phone shown in Nokia Music.
As there are no problems in the PC Suite or with a connection as a diskdrive, I have no idea how to manage playlists on the phone.
With the old Music Manager integrated in the PC Suite I never had such problems.
Any ideas ??
Joe

I also have exactly the same problem with the new Nokia music and my 6233, the old software was pretty bad but at least it worked.

I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ recognize it. I tried renameing the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around in there. Any help would be appreciated.

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

ITunes on my computer does not recognize my IPod when connected to my computer

When my Ipod is connected to the computer, it does not recognize there is a device. I have been able to sync my Ipod to my Itunes in almost 4 months. Songs transfer to Ipod but the playlists do not. I have tried to figure out the problem and nothing has worked so far to correct the problem. I hope someone is able to help me.

"Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5. The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
ANY IDEAS?

How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
This morning I unlocked the phone as usual and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable. You can find that information linked below. There may be something in the network that is preventing communication. To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services. Run the download below. It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC. If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour. Let me know what the app finds. If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.

MSI x48c platinum does not recognize 2 PCIe boards

Hello,
I had the same recycling boot problem as others have noted.
It occured with the Antec Phantom 500 power supply and the Antec Signature 850.
Swtiched to a Cool Master Pro 650 and no more recyling boots.
However, I have 2 PCIe cards that this system board does not recognize in the POST (quick boot disabled) and no new hardware is found under win XP.
Boards are:
Black Magic Design Intensity (HDMI board)
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/techspecs/
United Audio UAD-2 Quad (audio DSP)
http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2neve128/index.html
Does not matter if they are together, alone or which PCIe slot.
These bpards are needed for my work.
anybody else have baords that the x48c can't see?
These same boards are fine with other motherboards.

i just remember i had once similar problem with a sata driver. the issue is this you can not adjust everything in bios in one go and expect mobo to know about it. what i mean is this for instance you disable the raid then you save it and exit and then when it reboot you go back to bios and reset another another parameter, you save and exit and on reboot you go back to bios and reset another parameter. i got round the prob that way and it worked and mobo saw the sata HDD. give this a shoot good luck and finally make sure raid is disabled
this is what i would do
1- make sure the jumper setting on your IDE Hdd is correct (Y may have to try this twice as there are two different setting on jumper setting for Master)
2- connect the sata HDD
3-click on power
4-go to bios and disable raid save exit
5-on reboot go back to bios
6--on first option click on it then you should see all devices that can be seen by mobo if you do not see sata HDD you have to click on enable for the auto to see the device once it sees the device save and exit. REMEMBER THE JUMPER SETTING ON IDE HDD CAN CAUSE PROB . SO try the other jumper setting for master, repeat this procedure once more hopefully you get it right
