I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?
They can't. Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything. iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad). iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it. -
I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?
You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers. -
Moving my itunes library onto my new ipod
I get a brand new 30 gig video capable ipod. Honestly I don't care about the video I just want the album covers as I browse my music. I've gone to great lengths to convert my old CD and tape collections to mp3 and even in spite of losing some hard drives over the years still have most of it. I supplemented JUST SOME of my still owned tapes and cd's out of convenience from Limewire and other such sources... but this is a very small part of my collection. SO... My legal library is mixed with all kinds of conversions as tech was available over the years is now in itunes. I buy this brand new spiffy 30 gig video ipod from the apple store yesterday on Michigan Ave.
I get it home and plug it into my stand by home (little used) imac... (purple if you must know) and proceed to watch itunes sync to it. It finishes and I look at my ipod... nothing in any music category at all... I reset it and do this again... nothing... mind you this is an imac running 10.3.9 and with itunes 7.1.1 Then I go to the support pages here and read some things on the internet that basically say if you didn't buy it from the apple itunes site or rip it with itunes... it won't be recognized by your ipod. Is this really true?
I can't put my legally purchased original copy of aqualung that I took the time to convert from tape via a convoluted mess of hardware into digital... let alone ultimately mp3 format... on my new nearly 300 dollar ipod???
My ipod shows in itunes fine and even shows the music (greyed) and the space it is taking etc. in itunes.
But if you scroll into the menu on the ipod,for music, there is nothing.
I had a 20 gig old ipod and the drive on it crashed but it didn't have all these rules etc. i'm reading about with it.
It was great until it died.
What am I doing wrong?
I really can't sync my library to my new ipod unless I repurchase all this music?
Should I take a single box (of many boxes) of my CD's and tapes to Michigan ave. and drop them on the door to illustrate how much music I actually own?
Why does itunes say I'm sync'd and even show the space it took up on the ipod and yet not allow me to play anything as if I had no music on it?
HELP!Have you tried just resetting your iPod while it is connected to your computer?
I am assuming your iPod is showing a large amount of data in "Other" and nothing in music?
The problem may have to do with ID3 tags in your MP3 songs and not in the format of the songs, but you might right click on one in your iTunes, click Get Info and post the results here.
There is nothing that says if you didn't rip it with iTunes or buy it from iTunes it can't be on the iPod. There are posts here where people have used other converters and the resulting files have bit rates that cause problems for some iPods. And you can't play protected songs from other sources on the iPod with first burning them to CD and then ripping them. Whatever you read on the Internet was not correct, and you probably aren't going to collect from that Nigerian bank either.
Incidentally, acquiring music from Limewire and "other such sources" would make your statement of "My legal library" not quite true. -
HT1848 I'm trying to sync my iTunes library to my new iPod Classic.
Most of the songs sync fine, but 70 of them won't. An error message says the computer isn't authorized. It is. I tried to de-authorize it and then re-authorize it, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

I just purchased an iPod Classic, and after making sure I had the latest ver. of iTunes on my Intel MacMini, printed out the User Guide and carefully began learning how to operate the iPod. My first step was to ensure I had manual control (vs. auto synch) because I want only selected songs and playlists on the iPod, not my whole iTunes Library.
On pg. 24 of the Guide is the topic "Synching music from selected playlists onto iPod Classic." Just what I wanted. OK, I selected iPod "in the source list" (aside: Shouldn't it be "in the device list?" I dispair of imprecision). This brought up the iPod Summary page, showing I had selected Open iTunes when connected and Manually manage music and videos. Next I clicked on the Music tab.
This presented me with Synch Music next to an empty check box. Below it, and entirely grayed out was:
Entire music library (showing a checked box)
Selected Playlists, artists, albums and genres (next to an unchecked box).
There's also a third grayed out item: Include music videos that is checked.
When I selected Synch Music, I got the message: "Are you sure you want to removed existing mlusic, movies and TV shows from the iPod and synch with this iTunes LIbrary? I selected Cancel because:
1. The grayed option Entire Music Library is checked, not mly preferred option of Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. .
2. I can't find anywhere in the User Guide how to "Select the Playlists" I want to synch to my iPod. At present all I have in iTunes is my list of playlists in the left hand side bar.
OK, my first thought was the checked box in the iPod's Summary window: Manually manage music and videos. So I went there and unchecked it, which immediately brought up an alert to the effect "Are you sure you want to automatically synch your entire iTunes library, etc. etc...? I quickly cancelled. Thus, I seem to be in a Catch-22 situation.
So the questions are:
How do I resolve the Synch Music issue so I am assured only selected playlists will be sent to my iPod?
How do I create a list of playlists in my iTunes library to be transferred to my iPod?
How do I manually move a playlist in my iTunes library to my iPod's lists of playlists?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks to all.
John in the Pacific NorthwestFor the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware. The iPod's storage is a mounted volume. If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF. With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk. Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem. You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting. -

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -
I found my old iPod shuffle (3rd gen) and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, iTunes wouldn't recognise it at first so following forums on here I managed to find some apple software to reset and update the shuffle! This worked and the iPod shuffle was then recognised by iTunes but now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!
Please can some one help! I've been searching on here for a few days now and have tried numerous suggestions from other people's questions but nothing has worked yet!You can try this:
I am assuming you are running Windows:
Plug in your iPad to the PC.
Now go to "Start" - "devices and printers"
Is your iPad showing there ? (you may have to scroll down)
If you can see it - right click the iPad icon and select "Troubleshoot"
If the USB driver is missing/incorrect it will tell you.

Hi All,
I am currently trying to backup my iTunes library onto an external hard drive so that I can copy it onto my new Macbook Pro. I have been following the steps posted on the Apple website however each time I get a dialogue box stating:
'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items'.
Is this because I have items that were bought under another persons iTunes account? If so, is there a solution to this problem? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!
Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -
