Having trouble with transfering music in Vista

Never had any of these issues in XP. At first, I thought it had to do with Anapod but I'm experiencing the same on Itunes...
1. The player will disconnect/reconnect in mid transfer slowing down the transfer
2. If I send more than just a couple of files to the ipod, it will lock up the program (either Itunes or Anapod) and forces me to disconnect the ipod while still mounted (or shut down entirely)
3. With Anapod, if it locks up, I will not be able to shutdown my pc properly. I end up having to even refresh the software on the ipod (like reformatting) just to get it working again in Itunes or in Anapod

I've been having this same problem on Vista for a few months now. It appears that only specific songs can't update (i.e. iTunes and iPod freeze on specific songs; however, these songs play back just fine in itunes. As well, when the album artwork is removed, the ID3 tag is changed, the songname is changed, etc. nothing gets better. I get the distinct impression that there is nothing wrong with these songs as they synced perfectly fine when run in XP...as soon as vista was installed, the syncing came to a halt. I've been looking for a solution for so long (I even replaced my iPod) and I feel the only solution now is to wait for a firmware update that somehow resolves this issue (as newer versions of iTunes don't seem to do much about it and the problem persists in Anapod Explorer for me as well, I assume that it is a firmware issue).

  • Anyone else having trouble with the music player with the iOS 5 upgrade?

    When I play music on shuffle some songs won't play on my phone. I'm guessing it's some kinda bug. just wondering if anyone else has had this problem since upgrading to iOS 5

    Hi John,
    Some of us were actually having major issues after the IOS 5 upgrade without music. Here is one solution.
    Altered from original solution from Emily P:
    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Sync
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • (Cross Post! SORRY!)  Having trouble with Mac Pro and Vista/Boot Camp

    I feel like this board is more populated, so I thought I'd post this here as well. Forgive me.
    Ok, so it took me forever to install Vista. It kept saying my partition wasn't valid even after I'd format it. After restarting like 15 times it finally went through. So, it installed.
    BUT, now I have two issues. When Vista starts, I get this weird jumble of like MS-DOS text talking about partitions, weird numbers, my monitors just flash and kinda go nuts with the text then at the top after like 10 second of text, it says 'booting windows vista' with more ms-dos text. Finally after 30 seconds of that, it shows me that green bar that shows up to load Vista then voila, Vista is up and running. The OS works fine, but no matter what, I go through that jumble of text. Any way to get rid of it? What's wrong with it?
    Also, now that I've installed Vista, I can't get back into OS X. I have a wireless PC keyboard and a wireless bluetooth Apple keyboard, so I don't know what to do. When I go into Vista's Control Panel to select Startup Disk it says it can't load the program. So I'm at a loss. I really wanna get back into OS X!
    Any help would be fantastic!!

    Ok, I fixed the issue by using the wireless PC keyboard. I put the Vista install DVD in the drive and restarted the computer. The computer wouldn't recognize the OS X DVD.
    I remembered that the computer would register the keyboard inputs after restarting from the Vista Install Screen, so I restarted, held down alt on the PC keyboard and it worked!
    Now with the apple keyboard working, I restarted and reset the PRAM which made the computer boot into OS X by default instead of Vista.
    BUT, I still get that weird DOS text every time I load Vista, and now after keeping Vista running for a few hours, it starts kinda glitching over time. It loses connection with the network (I had to physically unplug and plug back in the ethernet cable to get it to recognize the network) and for some reason in order to use my apple keyboard, I have to turn it off and on when I get into Vista. It's annoying.
    Anywho, if anyone can help me with my Vista problems, that'd be grand :P

    unknowntozen,
    What is the audio format of your songs?
    WMA files takes up lesser space compared to MP3 files for the same bitrate. Here's an older discussion thread that may help:

    You will need to convert the music file if it does not fall into the following formats.
    Audio Playback Format: MP3, WMA, non-protected AAC, WAV and Audible 2,3 and 4

  • HT1848 Having trouble with transferring puchases

    iPod (5th generation) running firmware version 1.3
    iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition (Build 7600)
    I have a new computer, I just installed ITunes, then plugged in my IPod.  I did FILE, DEVICES, Transfer Purchases from my ipod,
    I receive the message "Some of the purchased items on the IPod including (name of songs) could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you
    are not authorized for them"
    When I choose Authorize, the enter apple id and password is displayed, it has my daughters Apple ID.  She no longer uses my new computer, but at one time used
    my previous computer.  I do not want these songs on my iPod anyway, not sure how our libraries got mixed together. 
    What should be my next step?
    I can only choose transfer purchases, the other options under device, Sync, Backup, restore, are grayed out as selections.

    I choose cancel on the authorize the computer (with my daughters id in it). 
    When I select File, Devices, the only option available is to transfer purchases. The sync, backup and restore options are all grayed out. 

  • Zen micro 6gb trouble with transfering music to the player pls h

    I bought on ebay. It's used i download the cd installation. Tried to transfer with media explorer and windows media player, it wont work. The player seems "locked" when ever its connected it wont show the music inside of it, just displays the folders. I cant create, delete, add music whatsoever it keeps saying i/o error folder is exited or removed, and when i try to transfer it says pending for a long time and failed right after. Pls if any can help it would be really appreciated. thx in advance.

    Can you flash it with firmware / have you tried that?If a firmware flash works, then try formatting the player. There's plenty of posts about how to do both of these tasks.When that's done, try loading some music. If it still give problems, something serious is wrong. Don't want to sound pesimistic but if it's used and you got it on E-Bay, you could have bought a dud. I've never usedEBay before so forgive me when I ask if you have any sort of comeback - e.g 4 day return period or something. Best of luck

  • Anyone having trouble with operating music controls through the control center?

    Sometimes I pause my music to do something else. When I swipe up later to access the control center, I hit the play button, but it won't play. I could hit the button on my headphones to play but still no result. I have to actually open the music app and press play. Is anyone else having this problem?

  • I am having trouble with the music library on an IPad air.

    Hi I foolishly synced an air to my second computer which does not hold all my music.  I have been unable to get it to sync to the main computer.  the message says there is not enough room, quite right! how do I get the music that is in place off the pad?

    RR,
    Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

  • I am having trouble with my bluetooth skipping while its playing music from my Itunes music...I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology?

    I am having trouble with the music from my bluetooth "skipping" on my IPhone 5.  I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology.  It's very frustrating to purchase all of this music and expect great sound and playability and get "skipping".  Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

    Does the issue occur when listening to the media using the speaker or wired headphones?  If it does, the issue is with the media itself.
    If it does not, it's likely a bad connection or interference.
