Got a SONY mp3 player for Christmas: How do I sync with iTunes?

OK, here's the deal. I have a MacBook Pro and use iTunes regularly, but now I have a SONY mp3 player from Santa. How do I get my songs from iTunes onto my SONY? Someone help. Thanks!

I have tried this with a SanDisk mp3 player, so I am not sure if it would work with a Sony - don't see why not..
Open your iTunes, build a playlist of songs you want to put in the Walkman.
Connect the Walkman and when the icon mounts on the desktop, open the Finder window to it - if it has a .mp3 folder inside, ('cos the sony devices have multiple folders in some instances), open that. Drag and drop the playlist of songs - (the list not the sidebar icon for it) into the .mp3 folder, and it should copy the files right in. iTunes itself will not likely 'see' the Walkman, but the Finder does, and will treat it like a new storage volume - which it is. You just build the iTunes playlists to tell the Finder what to copy.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • How to change syncing with Itunes library with another computer?

    How can I get reed of the sync with my MacPro, and sync my iPhone with my MacBookPro?
    I was syncing everything so far manually.
    I would like to keep all my app's in iphone (their data, settings) unchanged.
    Both of my computers use the same itunes account, but I want to use MacPro strictly for my audioproductions and basically want to "de-sync" it with iPhone.
    please help,
    Nenad

    Thank you roaminggnome,
    plug it in MacBookPro and sync it? I did try that and it does sync, but if I want to sync App's (with MBP) it will warned me that content of iphone will be replaced, and only thing I am concerned are the apps and all the data that has been saved with it.
    Move everything from mac pro means ALL the music,photos...?

  • Formatted hard drive and changed computer, how can I sync with iTunes?

    Yes, I formatted my hard drive and got a new computer, without thinking that it would cause any problems. Now I have installed iTunes and want to sync my iPhone, but it wants to erase my current music files. What do I do?
    P.s. If there are any ppl who have contact with developers, a little proposition... perhaps develop a shared computer version of iTunes (for work-home commuting, internet cafes ect.) where a person can log-in manipulate and download onto their iPod/Phone ect. without this problem of being fixed to one computer (which to be honest is rather unrealistic? no?)

    found life saveing program called media widget well worth the $29 if you have alot of stuff on tour ipod

    My iphone 3g crashed. My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  how do i sync with itunes? should I upgrade operating system first? how to do that?

    "My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  "
    Your calendar ond contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.
    "how do i sync with itunes? "
    You sync as you always have.
    "should I upgrade operating system first? "
    If you like.
    "how to do that?"
    Open itunes, cconnect iphone.  Itunes should tell you if there is an update avilable or you can click Check for Updates.

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

    I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • NEW MP3 PLAYER FOR C7, please!

    I find the MP3 player for the Nokia C7 to be very user-unfriendly and poorly designed.
    My old 6120's mp3 player was better, including separate menus for All Tracks, Artist, Album, Genres, Composer and included the possibility to search for tracks, artists, etc.
    It surprises me that a newer "smart phone" with touch screen and so many improvements in usability could have a primitive mp3 player with Artists and Albums combined and not even including search menu.
    How about designing a new mp3 player as an app???
    For more details see my post here: 
     /t5/Music/C7-mp3-player/m-p/1048555#M18052
    Another recommendation is to add only a few smart button on the newer phones out on the market so that one can at least pause the music and skip to the next track without unlocking the screen and opening the player.

    If you are looking for a Creative player only The Zen V and Zen V plus are good options. I think they will satisfy most of your requirements.
    Strike that, I don't think this will act as an "external hard dri've" as described in bMessage Edited by fdreinthea on 2-2-200605:37 AM

  • Itunes & sony mp3 player

    Hi to whomever can help me-
    I just bought a mac, but I already had a Sony mp3 player which already has all my music on it. Is it possible to transfer music to it, or is itunes only compatible with ipods?
    thanks!
    Laura

    Ya you should be able to use it with iTunes just fine. But not automatically like an iPod can.
    One way is if the Sony shows up as a standard drive on the computer (it should right?) you can probably drag and drop tunes directly from the iTunes window onto the Sony. It should make a copy on the Sony. If not, then you can always do it outside of iTunes by simply going into the iTunes folder and drilling down to the songs or albums you want and manually dragging and dropping them into the Sony.
    Just make sure you set up the iTunes preferences for importing to use MP3 files to keep your library compatible with the Sony. By default, after you install iTunes starts set up for importing as AAC files (MPEG4).
