Empty Nano but full library!
I am not sure what happened but during an upgrade to iTunes 6 I have emptied out my Nano of ALL my songs. In iTunes though - all the songs and the library are sitting there. When I though connect my Ipod to sync up I get the message : "Andy's Ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist"
How do I force the songs and playlists back onto my Nano? Many many thanks for help in advance. Cheers, Andy
I think you'll find the answer in this link:
iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

Yosemite made all my photos dissapear
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Do you get any warnings, when iPhoto upgraded the library?
I have tried everything but my library is empty.
What have you tried already?
Where did you store your iPhoto library? On an external drive or your system drive?
iPhoto will create a new, empty library, if it cannot open or find your previous iPhoto library.
If you upgraded from iPhoto '08 or earlier, the iPhoto library needs to be prepared with iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
If you got error messages during the upgrade of the library, restore your iPhoto Library from your most current backup. -
iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting. -
I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation. -
7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library. Ipad and old nano sync fine. How do I get 500 songs v. 63?
**1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
iTunes:
Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
**2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
*3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
Connect old nano to computer.
Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions. -

How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists? -
Noise adjustments not seen in develop mode, but in library mode
Hi all -
After trying my new copy of LR3, I'm noticing some discrepencies in the library, develop and exported modes. For example, the develop view doesn't show the noise reduction applied to the whole image, but the library mode does - to a degree. The exported image in Photoshop looks somewhere between the library mode and the develp preview. Any reason why? I'd like to get a consistent view which represents the actual changes.Thank you. However, is there a reason why the libray view shows the applied noise reducton on the whole image preview bu develop does not? While
I do use the 100% box, I'd also like to see how the entire image will look once the noise is applied. Also, for whatever reason the NR looks different in Photoshop somehwere between the library full preview and the develop full preview.
I feel that these sorts of things are far more important than Facebook and Flicker features. -
some of my songs quit after just a few seconds on my i pod nano but the same songs play fine on my i pad 3 - how do i fix this ?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Updating software on one computer but register/library on another one?
I just purchased a new Nano and, having dial up internet at the house and having just seen my kids setting up their new Nano's this Christmas, I expect to spend the next few days downloading and updating the software on this Nano(Why doesn't it come with updated software is another question). But I was wondering, can I use a computer (with iTunes) at work that has a very fast connection to update the software on the Nano but NOT register it on this work computer?
You don't need to register an iPod for it to work and you can use it on multiple computers so you can use your work computer any time you want to update it. If you choose to register it, once that's done you won't be required to register it again on another computer. One thing you need to be aware of though is that if you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod -
I loaded music on my nano with my old laptop. now using a new laptop and want to load music on my nano but it wants to delete all song. How can I load new music frmo new laptop onto my nano and keep existing songs?
Import the music on the external HD into iTunes. If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences. Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

If you make a big playlist on the mac, you can set the the software on a shuffle to randomly choose as many songs from the playlist as the shuffle can hold.
my new nano doesn't seem to want to do this; if the playlist is too big i just get a message saying the nano is full.
am i doing something wrong?
thanks
paulso to summarise, it used to work really well.
now it doesn't.
apple seem to have taken a big step backwards.
thanks for your help, but if that were the official (apple) answer, i'd say that's a lousy answer.
again, thanks for your help.

Down loaded new music to new nano, but cannot delet songs
down loaded new music to new nano, but I cant seem to delete any songs.
Why can you not delete them? How are you trying to delete the songs?
How you add and delete songs depends on how you have your iPod set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be manually or automatically.
