    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />

    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Why can't I download the songs from my ipod to my compute

    I'm getting insanely frustrated right now. I got an ipod about a month ago and was ecstatic. I could finally get the 12 gb of music off my computer (all songs I've taken the time to copy from my own legal cds) and onto my ipod. So I got the new itunes and I copied copied all the files to my library and then from there onto my ipod.
    I then made sure they all played on the ipod and once they did I made sure that itunes was set to manually manage songs and then removed them from my library clearing my hard drive of them.
    Then my ipod starts having issues, it will just randomly restart for no apparent reason, so I take it in to the apple store and they just want to restore it which will wipe all my music. So I say uhm no, can I please back it up first and they say they don't support that.
    What the heck is going on here, why does it make any sense to have to leave the music on teh computer?!? It's a portable music device!
    I found there are programs that will copy the files back but they cost money which makes no sense. Basically Apple has hijacked my songs and won't give them back.
    I'd email them directly about the issue but I can't find any sign of an email link anywhere on teh webpage.
    Any help would be much appreciated and please forgive the rant but I'm really getting sick of my ipod restating constantly.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod to discourage it's use as a device for mass file sharing. However there is a manual (free) method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    Not all the third party programs are commercial offerings and you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    If you want to check out the YamiPod utility it is free but you are also free to make a donation to it's developer if you find it useful: YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • HT1296 I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the iPod directions on this page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the Autofill button. Can you help?

    I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the directions on the iPond help page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the autofill button. Can you help?

    I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

    how do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop it will sync photos and apps but wont sync songs i have bought

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

    Why can't I access the Store from my iTunes on my PC?

    You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:
    Go to settings > safari > block cookies > never.

  • Why can't I get my songs from the computer in our media player library, (ripped from a c.d., ) to sync to the iPod?

    Why can't I transfer my music on my computer, media player library, onto the iPod touch? it won't let me sync the songs.??

    One thing to consider is this ...what are the files formatted in ? If you ripped your CD's via Windows Media Player default settings , they're in 128k Windows Media Audio files . These files must be converted by iTunes before being allowed into the library .
