Having problems transferring music from my pc

I bought an ipad 3 last week and seem to be having difficulties transferring music from my pc. Do I click import, this seem to work but only transferred 2 1/2 albums & podcasts.

Tried a disk clean up and even upgraded the firmware on my player.
Now in nomad explorer the music files do not even show up while the data library still take ages to load and I still cant transfer anything from it as it tells it cannot read from jukebox device.
Tried deleting some files to see what would happen ? the file says it has been deleted but when I disconnected and looked in library again the file was still there.
I forgot to mention in my first post that I was able to transfer everything off my Zen onto pc but I had to remaster my computer and as such lost all files and since then I cant transfer off the Zen - not sure if that matters but thought I should mention it
Can?t really test at friends? computer because even if I could and it worked I have 25 GB of files that need to be transferred which doesn?t make it feasible to transfer all onto a friend?s computer
Any help is grateful as I need to back up my music files in case my Zen breaks down (I am on my third Zen in 4 months as the first two were defecti've)

I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

You should ask in the Apple Forum. This has nothing to do with Adobe Reader, which only reads PDF files.

Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!

New MacBook air problems transferring music from macG5 OSX. Not enough space

Just got a MacBook air and having problems with migration assistant. It is showing I don't have enough disc space to transfer from my Mac G5 running on OSX 10.5.8. The main thing I want to transfer is my iTunes library. Would love to transfer all my photos too. I have tried just checking the music box and nothing else but it still says not enough space. How can I get my music library?

It's probably right. You need to install a larger drive in the MacBook Air or skip those for now and put them on an external drive later.

Having trouble transferring music from old PowerBook to new iMac

I'm having trouble transferring my iTunes music from my old PowerBook to my new iMac. Trying to follow the online instructions by using an external hard drive to transfer from one to another.

Hi Skingz,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Is the external hard drive that you are working with formatted for Mac OS Extended Journaled?   Is there enough space on it?
The process is the same regardless of the operating system you are using:
OS X Mountain Lion: View information about your disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11086
Formatting erases the contents of the external drive so be cautious. Also this process is for any application, not just Aperture:
Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

If you are still not able to copy the library to your new computer this way, then the alternative approach would be to copy the music folder from your old computer to the external drive, and then add the music folder to your new, empty iTunes library on the iMac.   You'll have to recreate your playlists, etc, but at least you will have the music.

I am having problems transferring songs from my computer to my iPhone.

I got a new laptop and installed all my music onto it, I also installed iTunes. When I connect my phone it brings up iTunes etc. but if I try to drag music from my "library" to my phone, it will not let me. Am I missing something? I know when I hooked my phone up to the laptop the first time it just recoginized it at a mobile phone, and a storage device, it did not try to dl iTunes automatically, I had to go the the dl site and get it manually.

The way I've always done it and someone may have a better way and if so, I'd be open to how it's done actually the correct way. Since this way has worked for me 100% in the past, why try and fix something that isn't really broken. Try my way and hopefully all will be good in the iPhone/iTunes world for you:
Find the directory (folder) on your computer that is named something close to this after first connecting your iPhone to your computer and then verifying (very important) you can see it in the folder list on the left side of the iTunes application window:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\
After locating this directory (folder) path,(it may or may not be on the C: drive depending on where you installed iTunes of course) simply copy all of your media (music, videos, etc.) to this folder and allow the copy to complete. Now, sit back and relax as iTunes "grabs" music from this folder one file at a time and more or less "checks" it to see if it's iPhone worthy of sorts.
When the copying and grabbing of files from this folder is complete, this folder will be empty. Yes, empty as all of the files that have been either added or not added depending on the quality (I guess) of each of the media files and have now been "added to iTunes". If the files were not added to the iTunes library, it's because they was some type of issue with the file quality or content or something.... not exactly sure how media files are "judged" by this process.
Now that this process is complete, right click on your "iPhone" which you should still see on the left side of the iTunes application window and then click "Backup iPhone" or something close to that. NOTE: I'm assuming you have already done this right click and performed a "transfer purchases" prior to doing this "Backup" process. After the backup process completes, right click the iPhone icon again and then click on "sync". The sync process will start and finish and when completed, you should now have all your music as well as everything else on your iPhone as well as your iTunes library.
Hope this helps and if not, I'm sorry I couldn't help after all. Have a good day!

REALLY HAVING PROBLEMS PLAYING MUSIC FROM ITUNES

Trying to play music from my laptop via itunes i can click on the track put it just says the song "******" could not be used because the original file can ot be found would you like to locate it"
What do i do what has caused this and why does it keep happening ?

Sounds to me like iTunes lost track of your music. You should probably search your computer for the files, and then add them back to your library (oh, and when you do that, you should delete the old library entry, unless you like duplicates.)

TS1474 I having problems transfering music to my I phone from my other computer.

I synce my I phone with my newer laptop and click manually manage music and videos. But when I connect it to my other computer the box is unchecked. Why can't I do this?

your iphone can only synce with one pc at a time, but when you want to add songs to your iphone for another pc, and you don't want to lose the data that you already have,
1- on your music store creat a new list(on your iphone)
2-press synce
3- the songs that are on the pc, drag them to the play list you created and synce.
that is what i always do

Having problems transfering music to my Nano between laptop and desktop.

Recently my desk top PC broke down. I then got a Nano for my birthday (cool) so bought some podcasts and tracks from i-store and downloaded a small proportion of my cd collection using my laptop. For some reason it takes a couple of hours to download a cd into i-tunes. For that reason, now my PC is back with me I downloaded the rest of my cd collection onto the hard drive then transfered the music into the recently installed i-tunes.
Here's the problem, when I connected the nano to the PC for the first time I was asked if I wanted to replace the present library (laptop) with the new PC library. I want both as I don't see how to get the bought and paid for stuff off the laptop, onto my PC and then on to the Nano.
I can understand why this may of happened as you could just plug your i-pod/nano etc into someone elses laptop and bootleg their music but I don't want to have tp pay for my downloads twice. Can anyone help me out?

Problems transfering music from external hard drive to ipod.

When I plug both ipod and external hard driver (WD 1600B014) into my Gateway laptop, only 1 device will work at a time with the other saying "usb device not recognised". This means I am unable to copy selected itunes songs onto my ipod.
This is driving me insane as I have 60gb of music on my hard drive which I want to chop and change frequently.
I have tried all manner of solutions including buying a powered usb hub (belkin) and starting a clean sheet with my laptop, installing all manner of new drivers for the usb ports.
I have the same problem with my 5G ipod 40gb.
I have tried the same problem on my dads desktop computer and the same problem arrises.
Does anyone have any answers as this has been driving me mad for ages and ages.
Is this a common thing or is it a problem with Western digital hard drives (although i thought they were a pretty big brand).
Any help would really be appreciated.

if I want to copy all those song files onto my iPod, they have to be copied into itunes first, and there's not nearly enough space on my desktop for that.
No, you don't have to copy the tracks to your internal hard drive. Just turn off the "copy music to iTunes Music Folder when adding" option in the iTunes Advanced preferences. Then use the "Add To Library" menu command and select the appropriate folder(s) on your external drive. iTunes will add the tracks to the Library but not move them to the internal drive.
Once that's done, use iTunes to transfer the music to the iPod. You can then, if iTunes is set for manual synchronization, remove the tracks from the Library if you want to remove the reference to the external drive.

Has anyone had a problem transferring music from icloud onto the iPod?

I have all my music stored in icloud. It will not download onto my ipod classic in it's entirety. There is plenty of space. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot this issue?

I bought a new computer, copied the songs on to the new computer and backed them up on the iCloud. I am having the same trouble as you (unfortunately). I am looking for an answer too...

6500 classic problems Transfering music from PC

I got this phone yesterday and today attempted to transfer a couple of MP3s from my PC to the phone using the USB lead.
This would not work as apparently the phone doesn't have any memory, this I find hard to believe as the phone only has the factory apps on at present and when checking the memory status the phone still has over 900mb
Can anybody help?
Cheers

My guess is that you are trying to transfer your songs to the phone memory instead of the card memory. I guess because not everyone has a memory card, the PC Suite music transfer software defaults to using phone memory.
Phone memory is a few 10s of MB whereas the card can be 2GB or more.
It sounds like you're using the Transfer Music option in PC Suite. Unfortunately, I don't have a working version of PC Suite on my work machine so I can't give you the exact options, however you need to connect the phone and go into options. Somewhere in the options related to the phone there is a target directory. You need to change this to be a directory on the memory card, preferably:
[card]:\Sounds\Digital
An alternative - which will also give you much faster transfer rates - is to connect using the USB cable in Data Transfer mode (you should be prompted when you connect the cable, alternatively you can change this from within the Connection menu options). The memory card should then appear as an external drive in Windows Explorer and you can simply drag and drop music files to the above directory.

Problems transferring music from turntable to computer with Audigy 2ZS Plse He

I originally had Sound Blaster PC28. I have installed last year Audigy 2ZS with 6 analog plugs and updated regularly. Everything is fine from burning to playing music of any format allowed. However, last week I tried to transfer vinyl music to my computer using Sony Sound Forge Version 8 and nothing works. Here's what I did. Luxman Turntable connected with ground to LINE IN ( in DENON amp ) and in the AUX output I have 2 Monster cables boing to my computer twinned on goldplaited /8 jack which is connected to the second (from right) LINE IN in the sound card. This done while referring to Manual & Getting Started Demo Creative program in the software. NO SOUND AT ALL COMES IN the computer - while the music is playing qell on my audio system player. I've done all kind of adjustment with the Microsoft Volume Play & Recording Controls and with Creative Mixer.
I can only distinguish on Sony Sound Forge two volume bars that there is some faint connection fluttering . I still tried to record but upon playback, there is no visual waving lines illustrated in SoundForge window nor sound played back. I expected that. What am I doing wrong or is Audigy 2ZS not suitable for such ? FYI, I tried the other5 jacks on the sound car ( adjusting to WHAT U HEAR or LINE IN controls ) .
The infos in Creative manual and software demo show the 2nd jack of analog sound card from the right being used as a LINE IN for cassette, synthesizer & cd player ( Iguess it goes also for truntable ? - i tried with cd player and it does not work either ) Third jack from the right is only for microphone (also tried but does not work either) . Sorry for lenghty description, I tried all I could . Am retired 7 yrs old and i wish to transfer all my jazz vinyls to puter inorder to make cds. Kindest to All for your help. Merci beaucoup !

Connections:
Turntable_(out)-->(in)_[Denon phono input w/ RIAA preamp]_(out)-->(in)_[Audigy Line-In (see the user's guide)]
(if you want to play back through Denon amp, --> [Audigy line-out [_(out)-->(in)_[Denon line-in (playback or aux-in)].
Software settings:
Creative CT Mixer
- enable Wave and Line-In sources, set level to 50-00%
- set .Rec source to AnalogMix(), set level to 50-00%
- find the best levels (I normally have these set as: line-in = 70% (.rec = 00% if not using ASIO drivers))
SoundForge:
- (depending on device driver mode you're using and which A2ZS model you have there), set input to AnalogMix() (w/ ASIO) or just select the one meant for Line-In,
- set recording levels

Problems Transfering Music From I-Tunes Library to IPOD

I recently purchased the IPod 30 GB. I have an extensive Music CD collection and copied many songs from those CD's to the ITunes Library. When I attempt to sync the songs to my IPod I get a message saying that many of songs could not be found. This results in those songs not being copied to my IPod. This seems to be the case with approximately about 50 percent of the songs.
The songs could be played through the ITunes library just fine until I attempted to copy them to my IPod. After that, the songs that could not be found appeared with an exclamation point next to them and when I attempted to do anything with the songs I got a message that said "The song "name of the song" could not be used because the original file could not be found".
When I looked up the info on the files that copied over to the IPod and those that did not the only differences were as follows:
The files that copied were listed as AAC Audio Files. Those that did not were listed as MPEG Audio Files. In addition, there was no information in the "Where" box for those that did not copy over.
HELP!!!!

The ! next to the songs can mean several things. The files have been moved from the iTunes music folder, or deleted from your computer entirely. Or the song files have been renamed/edited or otherwise changed by some method other than iTunes. In any event, iTunes has lost track of these song files.
You can use Explorer to search your computer for missing songs.
On the Start menu, click "Search".
Select "All Files and folders".
In the "All or part of the file name" field, type the song name and then click "Search".
If you see the file you are looking for in the Search Results window, you can add it back into your iTunes library.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
" there was no information in the "Where" box"
What is this "where box" you refer to?
