Got new Nano. Now only a small part of library will sync.

I upgraded from a first gen. 4gb Nano to a brand new 16gb Nano. I had about 3gb in my old nano and added songs frequently with no problems. I tried to sync my new Nano tonight and only about 500mb would sync. Now I have exclamation marks next to 75% of my library. I added some new stuff to see if it would sync, and it did. I just can't sync the old stuff. Help!

Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
Under iTunes Media though I do not have folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
Next - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders there is some other iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14
AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning - though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
Help please
Thanks

Got new nano now itunes does not find old nano

Used two 1st gen. nano's fine with itunes. Then purchased 2nd gen. nano and that works with itunes but now the two 1st gen. nano's do not appear on itunes and screen freezes. When i unplug, itunes starts operating ok again. Can you help?
AMD Athlon 1.8 Windows XP

More information. I started iTunes today and attached my iPod shuffle (old style shuffle). iTunes did not eat up the processor and worked fine.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
Thanks

Just got new ipohone 4s and used my wife's appleid to sync some apps. i now have my own appleid. i have logged in on my iphone but when i choose to update apps my wife's appleid is still there.

This is happening because there must be one or more apps on your phone that were purchased using your wife's Apple ID. Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID you are currently using in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your wife's ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo. Please help.

Hi,
My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo. Please help.

Take it in for service or most likely out of warranty replacement. Water damage voids your warranty so you will need to pay towards the replacement.
Cheers

I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
3 - ???
4 - profitt!
might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

My IPOD touch got wet and now only shows a white screen. How to fix?

My IPOD touch got wet (it was not submerged in water, just rained on) and now only shows a white screen. How can I fix this? I already dried it in rice, and reinstalled it on ITUNES.

unless you have apple care which even that probably doesnt cover water damage. youre gonna need to buy a new screen. probably set you back $60 something. look up ipod touch 4g lcd screen in google and look for sites like amazon or something. unless you wanna have apple charge you like 100 bucks for it or probably more

New Nano Shows only 900MB free space...Why? Where is the other 100?

My brand new nano show that there is only 900MB free for music, not the 1GB. Why? It is only holding 181 songs, nowhere near the 240. Any ideas?
Nano 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.7)

only 900MB free for music, not the 1GB.
The apple knowledge base document shows why you lose around 100mb to 200mb on every ipod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60955
In iPod's About menu, the hard disk size is reported as slightly less than the technical specifications for the iPod. The same is true if you connect iPod to your computer in disk mode look at the info or properties window for the disk.
Why the difference? Most hard disk manufacturers measure disk size this way: 1 MB = 1 million bytes (1000 * 1000). A 4 GB disk, therefore, is one that holds 4 billion bytes. Computers, including Windows computers, Macintosh computers and iPod, measure disk size this way: 1 MB = 1 048 576 bytes (1024 * 1024). The difference in these two calculations is what causes the drive to appear as 3.7 GB on a computer, but actually be a 4 billion byte disk.
The ipod operating system and games etc will only account for a miniscule amount of the used space.
This difference wont change how many songs you can get onto your ipod. Bear in mind, the song average advertised on the ipod is based on 4 mins per song, encoded at 128kbps in AAC format.
It is only holding 181 songs, nowhere near the 240.
Bear in mind that the song limit advertised is based on 4 minute per song, 1MB per minute, encoded as 128 kbps in AAC format.
Check the encoding of your songs. To do this, right click one the sorting columns in iTunes tick bit rate, then click this new column to sort the songs by bit rate. Any songs that are encoded at higher than 128 kbps will be causing excess space to be used for storage. To change the bit rate of these songs you can convert them to AAC format (sound quality will be lost). Or you can reimport them from CD/Computer once you have changed the import settings as detailled below, but that could be time consuming.
To convert go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the iPod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK. Then collect together all the high encoded songs and select them all (click the top one and hold shift, then click the bottom one). Right click the highlighted area and go to "Convert selection to AAC". This could take a while if there are many songs.
Once complete, go to the Edit menu, and select "Show duplicate songs". Delete all the "old" songs, recognisable by their bitrate, format or size. Again, to show these, right click a sorting column, and tick the respective ones.
Once this is done, update the iPod.
If your songs are all changed into 128kbps AAC and are mostly all around 4 mins long, then you should get very close to the song limit advertised

Got new nano and new laptop - how to get songs on both?

My old nano does not work, purchased a new Nano 16 gb. Also have new laptop and would like to get songs onto new laptop and new nano. What should I do first? New laptop is Windows 7, old is Windows XP. I do have an external hard drive that I can use to back up songs from old computer.

The external is perfect. You will want to locate your music on the Win XP hard drive and move it to the external, then bring the external to the new Win 7 PC and drag the music in to a folder there.
If you have iTunes already installed then you will need to drag the music in to iTunes once you've moved it to the PC.
If iTunes is not installed you're good, just install iTunes and it will pick up the music automatically.
Then connect iPod and sync ^^v

IPhoto books in iPhoto - The new Photos program only has square photo books. Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

I have many photo books created in iPhoto. These are rectangular shaped. The new Photos program only has square shaped books. After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto? Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
See the Preview.
Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

Got new router, now powerbook G3 pismo wont connect to it.

asked cable company to replace router as i was paying for 60 meg connection but due to moving my router to connect to my dreambox i realised that the router only had 802.11g wifi and so my computer wasnt able to connect fast enough to use the connection. when watching football or downloading big files i ran an ethernet cable across the room which wasnt ideal.
they replaced it with a new router capable of 802.11n today an rewired the cabling so both my mac and dreambox have ethernet connections.
when they were here i went to test it with wifes powerbook but battery was dead so i tested with my palm tx and it connected fine..
however...
wifes powerbook gives an error and wont connect. part of me thinks its due to the powerbook being 802.11b and the router not handling that, but my palm tx is 802.11b so thats not a reason surely? checked and psp, wii, nokia phone all connect but powerbook gives error.
if it is, can i just stick a pc usb 802.11g or n stick into the powerbook's usb (1) slot and make it connect?

Are you certain you connected all the way to the Internet with your palm, and not just to the Router?
cable company
The cable company has to perform a "deep reset" to allow you to use a new device with a new M.A.C. Address. Your connection was established with an older M.A.C. Address, and that (your old Router) is the only device that can be connected until they do this.
Call them and tell them, "I got a new computer, and you guys have to reset your equipment to accept the new device in place of the old one."
almost every 802.11n Router has a mode that will allow it to pause for an instant and "sniff" for slower devices. It slows your network down by an imperceptible amount. Not an issue in home networks. But you may have to configure it to do so.

Computer Crashed, got new one, now touch will not sync

Our old pc crashed, got a new one, installed newest itunes, and now the ipod touch will not sync without erasing all the info on it. I just want to add new apps to it, is there anyway to do this without restoring or resetting

When your machine crashed, was it a hard drive issue? If so, were you using any kind of backup solution (external hard drive, blank DVDs etc)?
If not and you have to start from scratch, then the only way to sync with a new computer is to erase and resync. Purchased items should transfer though. I would suggest that you explore some of the third party desktop programs that allow you to get content off an iPod and into your library first.
Then when you have that sorted, you can try to sync. Who knows, you may find that the purchased stuff, apps and other song or video content may be transferred if you are logged in to that copy of iTunes with the AppleID used to purchase those items.
Moving forward though, I seriously suggest using some sort of backup system whether you manually drag files to a drive somewhere, or use some online backup service. Also it helped me to learn a bit about how iTunes works and organizes the media it contains so when something like this happens (and it did once to me) replacing the data back where it needed to be was much less of a task. This made syncing my iPods a worry free endeavor.

Got new iPhone 5 won't work with my computer because I don't have snow leopard. Which cannot be purchased anywhere in town! Is this seriously the only solution so that my phone will sync with my computer?

When I plug in my new iPhone 5 to sync with my computer it tells me I need iTunes 7. I tried to download it, but it will not load on my computer because I need a software upgrade to 10.6.8, which from what I understand is a paid upgrade to snow leopard. I cannot find it anywhere! All of our stores that sell Apple products do not carry it anymore. My computer is a MacBook I bought in late August 2008, the ONLY thing wrong with it after all these years is this particular problem. I thought Apple products were superior because of their long life in comparison to other computers, why would Apple shorten the lifespan of its product by no longer supporting it with software??

10.6 Snow Leopard will run on any Intel mac. So that's any Mac made in the last 6 years. Snow Leopard came out in July 2009 and only cost $29. So you had over 3 years to have upgraded your MacBook.
You're willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars for a new phone but not the $29 in the last three years to have upgraded your OS on your MacBook.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
