HELP!!! manually managaing music/video for IPOD classic PROBLEM

i set my ipod to manually manage music/video because i want to save space on my computer, etc.
so i made that my setting and i applied it and everything.
so i unchecked everything in my library. and when i add a song to my library, i check it, so it will be added to my ipod when i synch.
but when i synch, that particular song that i checked is not added to my ipod.
what is the problem with this?
any help is much appreciated!
thanks

I think you are confusing the two meaning of manual management.
When they asked and you said you would manually manage it, you told itunes not to copy things to your device because you planned to do it manually with the computers file browser.
If that is not what you want, and what it sounds like, you should allow itunes to manage the device, and then the check box thing you are trying to do should work for you.

  • Downloading hd video for ipod classic

    I downloaded some TV shows from the Itunes store for my Ipod classic.  I find out after I purchased them that they will not play on the Ipod.  From what I am reading, it sounds like the HD versions will not play on an Ipod classic.  That seemed strange since I am very certain that I have downloaded other HD videos from the store and never ran into this problem.  Possibly the other HD videos were not 1080?  I also don't recall being given the option to download the SD version and it does not appear that I can go back now and do so.  Any help?

    HD videos, whether 720p or 1080p, will not play on an iPod classic. Previously when buying HD versions of shows you automatically also received the SD version, but now only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
    Regards.

  • Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

    Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
    I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
    Thanks

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

    How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

    load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod.  Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
    Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

  • Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please

    Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
    Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • When i try to put music on my ipod classic my laptop will  put songs on for a bit then stops and erases my ipod.  why is this happening?

    When i tryed to add new music to my ipod classic it added it fine  but when i went to play it  some songs wouldnt start playing and skipped to next songs.  i restored my ipod like it said to.  when i wnet to put all my music back on it went through a bunch and then all of a sudden it stopped and one song  about half mway through it and then i got a messege ballon saying windows couldnt find the file to sync to or something like that.  whewn i ejeckted my ipod it was blank no music that had been synced was on there  whats going on?

    There are a couple of things you can try to do at this point.  The first is to temporarily disable your PC's AntiVirus/security software as it may be interferring with the sync process causing it to timeout and corrupt your iPod's filesystem, which in return erases all content from your iPod.
    Also, double check to make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not an older USB 1.0 port as it may not provide enough juice/power to allow a successful sync.  This means you shouldn't plug your iPod into any sort of USB hub, a keyboard with the built in USB port, or into a USB port on the front of the PC itself as they are not connected directly to the motherboard and do not provide as much power.
    Lastly, try temporarily removing any other USB peripherals (minus keyboard and mouse) and try the sync process again to see if that helps.  If it does, it's likely a driver conflict with the different devices or that with each plug it, the iPod isn't allowed enough power to complete a successful sync.
    You may need to remove and re-install iTunes as well as there may be some corrupt files.

  • Please help me... music or play video, it pauses music/video for few seconds (2-7sec). kindly help what i need to do... will appreciate much...thank u  my MBP specs: 13 inch early 2011 2.3 ghz intel

    please help me... im having troubles using itunes, When i start listening music or play video, it pauses music/video for few seconds (2-7sec).
    kindly help what i need to do... will appreciate much...thank u
    my MBP specs:
    13 inch early 2011
    2.3 ghz intel core i5
    4 gb 1333 mhz ddr3
    mac os x lion 10.7.5 (11g63)
    itunes 10.7 (21)

    1. A 13" screen is awfully small to do any efficient editing. The 15" gives you significantly more on-screen real estate.
    2. All of the MacBook Pros can run FCE. However the graphics processor in the 13" model will limit some functionality with effects. See Tom's earlier comment.
    3. Not much difference. All these cpu's are fast. There will be more overall system performance gain from the quad core at the slower speed.
    4. FCE cannot use more than 4GB RAM anyway, so the 4GB that comes with every MBP is more than adequate. If you expect to use Aperture or CS5 then go for more RAM, otherwise there's not much reason to add RAM. You will be better off spending your money upgrading to the 7200rpm hard drive.
    5. Everything will be smaller on the high res screen; there are just more pixels (1680x1050) on the same 15.4" screen area. (I have a 15" MBP with the standard 1440x900 screen and it is beautiful.)

  • Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

    i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

    Julia,
    You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
    Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

  • Having trouble syncing video to Ipod Classic 160GB

    Hi all,
    Finally moved up to an Ipod after a few too many years with other brands...and am really enjoying the Ipod/Itunes combo for music.
    Video's a different matter, though, and I could use your help!
    I'm trying to get a few videos onto my Classic, and have converted them into MP4 format and put them in the "Movies" folder in Itunes (they show up alongside every video I've shot on my digital camera). My Ipod is set to sync automatically, and does so for music, but not for video. I was able to get the videos on using the instructions I found on http://www.ehow.com/how4925922download-videos-onto-ipod-classic.html , but the next time I synced music on my Ipod, it removed the videos I'd added.
    Is there a way that I could add videos manually, and keep syncing music automatically, without the automatic syncing removing things that I added manually? Or could I set Itunes/Ipod up such that music is automatically queued for syncing, while videos need to be approved for syncing?
    Basically, how can I get this to work?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hello stopheles,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you currently have your iPod set up to sync Videos? What settings do you have enabled from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes? Specifically, the "Automatically sync (Select Option Here, e.g. all) movies" option on this tab.

  • Can't transfer video to ipod classic

    I recently added 6 new videos to my Itunes library. When I tried to manually transfer them to my Ipod Classic only 1 of the 6 shows up on my Ipod. When I drag any of the other ones over it shows the little green plus sign, but never has the spinning circle that shows it's adding it to the Ipod. All of the videos are the same format and all will play through itunes. I tried resetting the ipod, but no help. Any suggestions?

    I figured it out. I went to play the video directly from iTunes rather than trying to transfer it to the iPod. I got a message I am not authorized, just like before. But this time it asked me if i want to authorize it. I clicked yes, obviously and voila...successful authorization. Now I can play it on my computer and iPod. Sorry for wasting everyone's time with this.

  • How do I get the music from my iPod classic onto my computer if it came from a different iTunes account?

    How do I get the music from my iPod classic onto my computer if it came from a different iTunes account?

    Hello JLGBone,
    It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:

    Any items that are not purchased from the iTunes Store will need to be re imported to the iTunes library manually.

  • I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • Cannot select "Manually manage music & videos" without erasing??

    I seem to be having an issue with selecting "Manually manage music & videos" from iTunes 11.  I have always used the same computer/iTunes to put music on my phone but ever since downloading iTunes 11, I can no longer do so. In the summary section for my phone I have tried to reselect that option and hitting apply but get a message
    "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    Does anyone know if there is a way around this/why it thinks it is a different iTunes library?  Please help!

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.
