Dvd-itunes-iphone/ipod

anyone know how to import a dvd to itunes to then put on iphone/ipod

*Why is it okay to copy your CDs onto your computer then? Same thing, right?*
Not the same thing. Most CDs have no copy protection on them (though the record companies have tried it out from time to time and there are a few copy protected CDs still around).
DVDs are copy protected and it's illegal to break the copy protection on them. I don't know what country you are in but if you are in the US you'll have seen the FBI warnings at the beginning of the discs and other countries have similar warnings so I can't understand your surprise.
*All those episodes of The Wire and Deadwood that I planned to load onto my MacBook Pro so I could watch them whenever I wanted AND watch on my iPod Touch as well - that's not possible??*
I didn't say it wasn't possible, I said it's not legal which is a different thing. Unless the disc comes with an official digital copy for use on computers/iPods etc. then getting the movie off the disc and onto your computer involves breaking the encryption. Breaking the encryption as I've pointed out, is illegal.

Itunes/Iphone/Ipod device driver issues - tried everything. Still not working.

After hours and hours of research, I'm completely stuck. Here's the basic problem.
When I plug in my Iphone to my laptop, windows pulls up a little window that says installing device driver software. After several minutes, the process fails and a message comes up that says windows found drivers for my device, but encountered an error and wasn't able to install them. In the device manager, the iphone is listed as an "other device" with a yellow triangle/exclamation point. Itunes never recognizes the device.
When I plug in my ipod nano 4th generation, the exact same thing happens, except it's listed in the device manager as an ipod. (same yellow triangle though.)
Up until today, both of these devices have been working properly, syncing without trouble. The iphone synced wirelessly and the ipod every time I plugged it in. I can't figure out what on earth happened to my laptop today that messed things up.
It's also worth noting that I have another older ipod nano... second generation, I think, that plugs in and is recognized immediately, works perfectly.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. I worked through every single troubleshooting guide that Apple has to offer. No change.
2. I did a complete clean install of itunes and all additional components, rebooted and reinstalled. No change.
3. I uninstalled/re-installed usb controllers in the device manager. No change.
4. reset both the phone and the ipod. No change.
5. I've tried various cables. No change.
6. I've run system checks and repair utilities for windows vista.
7. I've used selective start up to see if another program is interfering. I've stood on my head and counted to one hundred. I've only said seventeen swear words.
At this point I've done so much searching and troubleshooting, I can't imagine how anything is going to fix this issue. So this is my last hope. Please oh please be smart enough to tell me what to do...

Not sure if this is significant, but in a weird turn of events, when I tried plugging the ipod in this morning, the little message that pops up to install device driver software actually told me the drivers were installed successfully. However, in the device manager, it still says the drivers are NOT installed properly, the little yellow triangle is still there and the ipod still isn't registering in itunes, or my computer. So. Not really any improvement, but a different symptom none the less?
I'm desperate, guys. Someone help?

Feature Request: itunes iphone-ipod interface

I think the iphone UI is fantastic and I'd like to be able to control itunes in a way that would replicate the iphone's ipod UI on my PC screen. I have a very small 800x600 in case touch screen monitor on my media PC, and it would be awesome if I could get a layered interface with big buttons to work on that screen (I can pull up itunes in that small screen, but its too small to navigate - especially by touch). I've searched and searched all over the web but have not been able to find anything like this. I have heard that it is possible to skin itunes, and I have found alternative skins, but so far the only skins I've found do nothing other than change itunes's color. Likewise, I've searched for various desktop widgets to accomplish this task. All I have been able to find are simple remotes which really can't do anything by way of album/song/playlist navigation.
This seems like a natural feature for itunes, and I can't believe that I'm the only one who would want something like this.

ITunes / iPhone / iPod / iPad / iOS 5 How do I put Various Artists under One Single Album?

Hello, I recently purchased the entire collection of Now that's that I call music.
It's a compilation album of various artists.
All the various tracks have their own respective artists under the same album name - Now That's what I Call Music.
I sync this collection to my iPhone 4, with iOS 5 and go to my phone's Music>Albums.
Here it shows me multiple times the same album, with the same name - now that's what I call music. Each with a different artist.
I want all these various artists to be under One Single Album. And not the same albums album being shown multiple times for each artist.
Really appreciate if someone could help me out.
Regards,
Jay Parte.

If you have 7.1, you should see the Shuffle option once you select a genre (scroll up, above the list of artists).

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book. Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Is there a way to transfer my iphone/ipod music to my itunes music library?

my 1st generation iphone was synced with my laptop. then my hard drive crashed. so now i have a new hard drive. in order to sync my iphone with this one, it says it will erase all my music. what can i do? i heard about the software senuti, but i cannot get it to work, and i am worried that if it unlocks my iphone, it may render it useless, or something worse. what can i do? can anybody help? apple tells me i cannot transfer the songs from my iphone/ipod into my itunes music library because some of them were not purchased from itunes. i understand business. it's about money and copyright rights, etc...yada, yada, yada. i just hate to lose my songs (625 of them). i have no backup for the songs. i learned a lesson. BACKUP your stuff!
<Edited by Moderator>

iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store ONLY.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Any content not purchased from the iTunes Store will be lost, which is why maintaining a backup of your iTunes library along with all other important data stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only is so important. The iPhone is not designed nor intended to be a backup device.
If your iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store was imported into your iTunes library from music CDs, dust them off and start importing them back into your iTunes library.
Using a 3rd party utility or application that provides for this but is not supported by Apple is your only other option.

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
Kind Regards,
Julias

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

Add dvd to itunes/ Iphone

How do I add a standard DVD to my itunes/iphone.
Are there copyright restrictions that prevent me from doing this? Is there an application that I need to purchase?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
Regards.

Downloaded iTunes, now computer freezes whenever I insert iPhone/iPod.

I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and when I come to sync my iPhone/iPod Nano, the computer totally freezes (including mouse cursor and music).
iTunes support told me that it could be due to out-of-date drivers, however I've updated all my drivers and the problem persists.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

I have almost the exact same concern. Mine happens with just ITunes open or when device is connected. I notice that after I sync and remove the phone in a while my computer will lock up tight. I’m almost positive it locked up with just ITunes open and no device connected. You can't do anything! I have had my curser still messed up after reboot and had to reboot a second time to get things back to normal. I'm using windows XP SP3, Internet explorer 7.0.5730.13 and iTunes 8.2.1.6. It's getting to the point that I charge my iphone 3G from a wall charger because I need to reboot every time! If you’re having the same concern, please post! We are obviously not the only people with this concern. If enough people post maybe Apple will do something!
As far as having drivers out of date, which ones?! I have all the updates from Microsoft. There are way too many drivers to just start going through one at a time. Are we just supposed to update all of them or are there specific ones to look at. That answer paints way to wide of a brush stroke. Can anyone be more specific on which ones?
The other concerns I have is my phone is getting slower and slower. I can be texting someone and 4 to 6 letters are typed before they even show up on the screen! I can count to 5 sec or more waiting for simple things to open. I have also just restored the phone 3 weeks back or so for the same problem because that’s what all the post said and it did not help much.
I also notice that the service on the iphone seems to have changed. Before I had 5 bars sitting in my house and now I'm lucky if I have 2 bars sitting in the same room same seat. Not to mention that the network seems to be crawling! It's less frustrating to not use the browser and wait till I get home to find info.
I have to say that in the beginning I was such a sales person for the iphone! I have personally helped sell at least 7 iphone! I was one of those people you wish would just shut up about the new toy! But as time goes on it's really losing its luster! It seems that every time we get an update the concerns it add to the phone are not worth the updates! I'm finding out that I'm starting to use the phone for just a phone! (Don’t even get me started on dropped calls.)It's not going to be too long till the cost of ownership out ways the use.
I know these sound like a ***** session but I have seen post about all of these concerns at one time or another. You would think they would be addressed by Microsoft! I mean Apple. Just a slip of the tongue. LOL!
