HT1349 I don't have a mac but I have an ipod that is five years old all I want to do is transfer music from my cd to my ipod and it's been like two days trying to figure this out

I have an Acer which is Windows 7 and thats pretty much all I can offord at this point very hard being a single Mother with the kind of economy we have today.
I'm really not a high tech kind of person but I do get the consept of syncing music to an mp3 player or a CD to my computer. I've had this Ipod sense 07 and my
boyfriend adds music for me, well now he is out of town and I thought I'd try to do this on my own. I completely removed all of the music I had on the ipod unknowing and then somehow didn't download itunes properly. I absolutely have now clue as to what I'm doing and I can't deal with not having music to listen to when I run arrends or I'm on my way to work. Please help thank you

Hi Susan,
Not sure why your post ended up in the Apple Server section but here goes.
By default your music should be located in one of the following locations
which you can see by clicking on My Computer
Windows XP - C:\ - Documents & Settings - Username (your name or your login name) - My Music - iTunes
Windows Vista/7 - C:\ - Users - Username - My Music - iTunes
it's unlikely your music has been wiped and more likely that iTunes can't find the library file that tells it what music is in your collection and where it's located. This can happen if you renamed or moved one of the folders above to something/somewhere else. Another idea is to do a search and look for files in a format used by iTunes such as .mp3 or .aac which might show you where they are.
Hope that helps
Beatle

  • I would like to upgrade my OS to the latest version.  I now have 10.6.8 and my machine has 1Gb of memory.  Need 2Gb for the new OS.  Is is possible (and practical) to add memory to a machine that's five years old?

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    You can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store witht a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM

    Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model

    I have an iPhone 4.  I would like to transfer music from my HP computer to the phone.  The music appears on my iTunes page on the computer but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to the phone.  I'd also like to transfer the phone numbers on my phone to my computer (so I can keep them on my backup drive in case something happens to the phone).  When I connect the computer and the phone, it says it's 'syncing' but I certainly can't figure out what's being 'synced'.  The only thing I've ever been able to transfer at all are photos from the phone to the computer.  If I must upgrade my phone system to 6.1 to do thi, I am reluctant to try that because it says I must save things or they will be lost (e.g. music I've purchased, phone directory, etc) - which I have no clue how to do.  My nearest Apple store can only be reached by plane (in Honolulu).  Thanks for any help.

  • I have a new computer, and want to put the new music from there to my existing ipod (which has an existing library that I don't want to erase)

    I have a new computer, with some new music on it in my Itunes Library.  How do I put that new music from here onto my existing ipod (which has a ~1500 song library from an old computer which is no longer accesible, and which music I do not want to erase)? 

    I'm not trying to put the music from my old ipod onto my new computer!!!! I don't really want to do that!
    I would like simply to see if there is a way to put the new music from my new computer onto my old ipod without erasing all my existing music that I have on there.

    If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together &amp; share music.

  • I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated.  I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

    because it is a free application.  They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail.  I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music.  This may seem trite but it is not trite to me.  I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom.  I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service.  I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense.   Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it.  They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life.  Shame on Adobe.  I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job.  Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

    I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . .  .

  • Itunes library, im going crazy trying to figure this out...please HELP!!!!!

    ok so me and my sister both have ipods and one computer in the house, we listen to very diffrent music, she hates my music i hate hers...so a friend of mine told me that i can make a second library for itunes so that my sister can import her music and download it onto her ipod and i can do it with my music. I just dont want to have music on my ipod that i dont like its really annoying to have to use up that memory with music i dont listen to and having to scroll over all her music so get to mine...is there anyone out there that can help me please...i would really appreciate it if someone out there could give me some kind of solution to this itunes issue...thx!

    This method is slow and ridiculous ...
    Yep. So don't use it, use the "piano roll" view - you have a lot more control over the lenghts of your notes and the exact beginning. Enter the notes by holding down the Apple key and clicking and dragging (the onscreen keyboard can only be used in "record" mode). Use the same mode to modify imported midi tracks.
    There are no solo strings in GB, but you should have a string ensemble and some basic choir.

  • Is there a way to sync only my music from my iphone to my ipad and NOT anything else like apps?

    I have an iPhone 3 and a brand new iPad 2. I was wondering if there was a way I can sync my music, but not everything else such as apps. I don't want my apps from my phone on my ipad, only the music. How do I go about this?
    Please&Thankyou!!

    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)

  • Need help trying to figure this out!!!! Angle gradient???

    Hi,
    I've been working in a project where i'm not sure if the terminology is correct. But as far as my research goes
    it is refer as an angle gradient similar to the one in Photoshop. See image for idea:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432656
    I would like to use the same technique and create something for complex like this:
    I already have made the path and but gradient doesn't seem to go around the paths.
    Please help!!!!!!!!! Can someone provide me with a step by a step in how to create
    a path like this?
    I'm running CS4 Ai, Ps. Anything will help.
    Thanks!!!

    This thread is 3.5 years old but here is a solution to make angle gradients in Illustrator CS6 and CC, which now have the capability to apply gradients on strokes.
    1. Make a circle and give it a stroke equal to half its size and align stroke to center.
    Example: 100px circle with  a 50px stroke.
    2. Apply a linear gradient that has the same color on the starting and ending stops (if you want a seamless gradient) and apply gradient along stroke.
    3. Apply Path > Effect > Offset Path half the amount of the stroke size and make it a negative value  so the path offsets inward.
    4. Done!

    Hello try again
    All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

    Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

  • My ipad 2 doesn't will not open the website that is bookmarked it's blank seems like I need to sync but am confused. sync is nowhere to be found on my iphone or ipad2 firefox applications. trying to figure this out but am stumped.

    OK, now my websites are showing up but is there supposed to be a sync button on the ipad and iphone or you just sync from your computer and it goes to these devices. Also is there a place you can go to see a list of your devices?

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
