Help needed - transferring music to N73

Hi,
Just got this phone - have tried downloading my music files on my hard drive to my phone via usb using the music manager 1.0 on pc suite 6.80.21. MY pc is running Windows xp pro sp2.
My problem starts when I've scanned my pc for music, then copied to my phone. I've changed the format to AAC, but it's not showing that when it's copying. When I disconnect and check my phone, the songs have been saved but comes up with error message " unable to play sound" or something to that tune!
Please help - haven't got a clue why it wont play, so need it in idiot language please!!
Thanks,
Kirsty

I then tried to copy the music to my phone, which did seem to copy, but came up with " unable to play sound"...

Kirsty,
I've got (almost) the same problem. I transfer music to my N73 via Music Manager but they will not play under the 'Music' option. I've tried transfering in MP4 and AAC format. Incidently, the song shows up under 'Gallery' and will play normally. However, I want the song to play under 'Music' so that I can produce play lists etc.
Interestingly, i've tried bluetoothing songs in mp3 format and they work a treat - although the file size is significantly higher, hence the requirement to use AAC and MP4.
Can anyone shed light on songs being on the phone but not listing under 'Music'?
Kind regards,
David
David,
Have you tried using the Update Music Library under options in the Library menu. This updates all the songs just transferred.
I'm having problems with the M4A format, I can rip CD's into Nokia Music Manager into either AAC or M4A format, but only the AAC format plays on the PC or phone, any ideas? I'm also only getting sound out of one headphone, but if I use the radio both headphones are ok?

I'm Dumb and Need Help with transferring music

Just got my ipod and I wanna tranfer all of music from my Windows Media Player to my Ipod. I used the Sync Option on my Media player to put my music on the Ipod.
Itunes says I only have 2.9gb on the Ipod so I assume it went to the Ipod, but all my Ipod has been doing for like the last 2 and a half hours is saying Do Not Disconnect. I put 57 hours of music on it, so is it just transferring all that music and is just gonna take a long time?
The Ipod is full charged and I am using the Idock.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Okay, see where it says (your name)'s Ipod in the source panel of iTunes? See that funny little arrow/line symbol beside it? CLICK THAT and it will eject your iPod. Sounds like it's done . . . maybe you have disk use enabled and will have to eject each time you're done updating...

Help required - transfering music files

Can anyone help?
I had about 1000 songs on my laptop which I put onto my ipod - the transfer method was via real player. The transfer appeared succesful and the music is on my ipod.
However I cant play it - and now I've deleted it from my hard drive.....the music only exists in a kind of invisible iPOD file.
I need to take the music off my ipod (I can play it on my computer when my iPOD is connected) and put them back onto my hard drive and this time use iTUNES to transfer my music......*but is there anyway of putting my music back onto my hard drive?*

*is there anyway of putting my music back onto my hard drive?*
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Help needed getting music from my ipod to itunes!

Please help! my computer got a virus so i had to reboot it. Now i can't get my ipod music onto my computer. The only place the music is stored now is on my ipod. What do I do?

A reboot wouldn't normally affect the library. Factory restore perhaps?

Help with transferring music files from my Maxtor external HD

Can anyone please help? I have been using Windows based PCs for a majority of my life. I recently purchased a Macbook. I have thousands of songs saved on a Maxtor external hard drive. I recently connected the HD to my Macbook and was able to successfully copy over all of the photos I have saved and only few of the audio files. I checked the audio files are saved in itunes format. Why can I not copy all of my music over? Please help!

You could try something like this, if you haven't thought of it already. On the PC side make a new folder, probably at the top level, or perhaps next to the one folder that you could see on the Mac side. Or maybe inside the one folder you can see on the Mac side. Maybe create a new file in it, such as a simple text file. Then see if the new folder and file can be seen on the Mac side. If so, go back to the PC side and try copying one of the mp3 files that couldn't be seen into that new folder. Also, move one mp3, as distinct from copying. Back to the Mac side, see if you can see them.
Now, if you could see the new text file, but can't see the copied mp3, that implies the problem is somehow with the mp3 files. Or the folders they are in.
If you couldn't see the new folder, then the problem isn't the files, but (I guess) something obscure and arcane about the filesystem.
Hopefully, the new folder and its contents will be visible on the Mac side, in which case the path forward should be clear.
Do you have an extremely large number of song files in a single folder? Grasping at straws, but maybe the Mac has some dumb limit that's smaller than the equivalent limit on the PC side. I've never heard of such a thing, but when things are weird, it's a good time to think of oddball possibilities...

N5800 - Help needed with music player

2 days ago, i encountered an error in my music player prompting some corrupted databases and music files and it was 'self-repairing'. After a while i rebooted the phone as it doesnt seem to be working.
After the reboot, my playlists and songs were all missing from the music player. Although i can locate the music files via file manager, i cant seem to find it in my music player. Refreshing the music library doesnt help either.
Anyone else have this problem before? Please advise, thanks.

You should be able to get everything back to normal by deleting the databases on the memory card.
Either stuff the memory card in a card reader (must be SDHC-compatible if you have tho 8GB card boxed with the handset) or connect the phone to your computer in "mass storage" mode. Make sure the display of hidden and system files is enabled if you're using Windows.
On the memory card you'll see a directory called "private" in which there's a bunch of directories of which the names are 8-digit hexadecimal numbers.
Locate and delete the following directories inside "private":
101ffc31
101ffca9
10281e17
Next time you start the music player it'll start looking for music and podcasts and should re-create clean databases.

Help with transferring music from itunes to itunes

I just got my iPod for Christmas (yay!) and I'm in a dilemma with downloading songs to it from iTunes. Our home computer is being worked on and is basically useless right now. However, my dad has his laptop that already has iTunes on it. My question is, if I would download songs on his computer to put on my iPod, could I later take them off his iTunes (or my iPod) and put it on my iTunes on the home computer? I dont want to lose any of them, but would like to be able to take them off his iTunes and put them on mine to manage in the future.
Thanks for any help!!

Help with transferring music?

Hope I didn't post this in the wrong section...
Hello. Recently my computers hard drive was completely fried and pretty much everything on it is gone, all my music, pictures, etc, etc. -_-
-sigh-
Anyways, I had like 2500 songs on my iTunes, and still do on my iPod, but I don't know how to put the music from my iPod onto my laptop. I can't use my desktop because it's hard drive was fried, so I can't just copy paste the music from my old iTunes and put it onto my laptop.
Is it possible to take music right off of your iPod and put it on a computer?
Thank you!

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
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.

Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
