I have an old iPod, first generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio. I've emptied my iPod to my itunes library to allow space on the iPod. Question is: Can my friend put his music on a flash drive and somehow transfer to my computer.

I have an old iPod. First generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio at an upcoming party. (already use my Pod w/the radio). Ive emptied my iPod to my itunes library to make more room for additional music.
Question: Can I somehow download my friend's playlist - which is on a flashdrive, transfer it to my itunes and then transfer to the iPod??

If the Apple Store Genuis says you can't sync music from an audio CD to your iPod (because it's too old), he or she is not much of a "genius."
That question is not even related to your iPod. First step is to "rip" the music CD into your iTunes library. Once the songs on the CD are in your iTunes library, they are like any other songs in your library, and you can sync them to your iPod as desired. This article seems to do a good job of describing how to rip CDs
http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
NOTE: When you insert a music CD, it appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. If you do not see the sidebar (along left side of window), from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
It was the context of your original question, not the actual task. You can easily add songs files that are on a flash drive to your iTunes library. Open a window that shows the flash drive contents. Drag the song files from that window to the iTunes window, and drop them on your iTunes Music library. Or, use the command
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
NOTE: Open your iTunes preferences, Advanced tab. If the checkbox for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is NOT checked, those songs from the flash drive will only be accessible (for playing and syncing) when the flash drive is connected.

HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer." My computer is authorized

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

One of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod

i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.
i have re-installed itunes several times, deleted all my music and iported it again. retored my ipod and still i have the same msg. its only stating 8 songs so far that cannot be copied onto my ipod. please can someone help as ive tried everything that i can possibly do. thanks.

Hello mobyash,
Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod. See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.

HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs will that hold aproximately.

My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom. If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below. If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

I bought mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
and there is no 4 choices window.
I don't know what to do.

How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

I have an older MacBook Pro using 10.4.11 and want to use new operating system to use the latest iLife. Can i install 10.7 on an external hard drive and use the external hard drive to run new system while leaving my old system intact?

I want to use a new version of iLife (for iMovie and iDVD) but am currently running OS 10.4.11, which won't work with the newer iLife programs. Can i install OS 10.6.3 or 10.7 on an external hard drive, boot to that hard drive and work with the new software (installed on the external hard drive) using my MacBook Pro (circa 2005/6) as the engine while leaving my laptop running 104.11 the rest of the time?

Yes, you can use an external drive. To upgrade, however, means:
Purchase Snow Leopard DVD then update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8.
Access the App Store with your Apple ID and purchase and download Lion.
Your computer must meet system requirements:
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Obviously, you do not have to upgrade to Lion but can stop at Snow Leopard 10.6.8 which is sufficient for the current versions of iLife apps. Note that iDVD is no longer part of the newest version of iLife. Lion 10.7.2 or later is needed should you wish to use iCloud.

Can I put an imovie on a flash drive, and edit it on a different mac?

So i am doing a video project for school. We used imovie on a mac desktop to make and edit most of the video. unfortunatly, we are still not done and the girl who has the imac, is leaving for out of town. we were wondering if we put the imovie on a flash drive, can we then upload it onto a different mac (in our case a macbook laptop) and then continue editing? the flash drive is a brand new 8 GB flash drive so it has pleanty of room for our 5 minute video. We also do not have time to start over, with the deadline being very soon.
So will the flash drive trasportation work?
Is there even a way to transport the video over to a new computer?
Thank you everyone who will help me out!

Hi
My thoughts
A. Free Space on Start-Up (Boot, Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - must be 25Gb or more to let iDVD run OK
B. If DVD-burner doesn't work - then Save as a DiskImage - in DVD - to e.g. Desktop so it's easy to find
C. Format an USB-Memory stick (WILL ERASE IT to 100%) - AS - Mac OS Extended (hfs) ! ! !
( UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS ! )
D, This .img file You just created can now be moved over to another Mac. Save it onto this Hard Disk
E. Burn the DVD - by using Disk Util tool - and burn the .img file onto a DVD
F. SET DOWN BURN SPEED to x2 or x4 MAX !
G. I only use Verbatim SL-DVD-R disks
Good Luck
Yours Bengt W

"Some of the items in the Itunes library were not copied to the [device] because they could not be found" but music play on itunes

Morning,
i got 5.6Go of music but not on the C drive, i've done a redirection to My Music Folder to "I:\My Music" instead of the default location
I can't put in on the default location i don't have enough space on my SSD.
I can play all the music i want on Itunes, when i wanna sync my iphone (the old and the new) i got this error.
It's never on the same song and a few are copied on the Iphone
I've tried re-create the itunes library, restaure the iphone from a previous backup or erase all the setting and data.
I've tried using WIFI or a different cable.
I've looked in C:\Users\momo\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs
but didn't found any clues.
I think it might be because the disk is not reading fast enough (that's why it doesn't always stop on the same song but it's only a guess).
I'm having this issue for more than a year but now that i have a new iphone i know the issue does not come fro the iphone.
Can you give me an advice ?
Or just an itunes with a debug mode to know exactly what is wrong.
My Itunes version is 12.1.1.4 (i've tried some older version and i still have the same issue)
My last Iphone version is 8.1.2 it's an Iphone 5
The old was an Iphone 4 on IOS 5.0.1
I work in the IT so i can do some technical things.
Apologies if i don't reply quickly
Thanks

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop

Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop hard drive

Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch . iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it connects again?

My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it can connect and I can install apps or music once more? Also, when I go on the internet and try to search solutions, it freezes and I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds for it to go to lock screen. Any solutions?

Safari does work, right?

IPod First Generation Song Order Problem

Equipment Specs:
IPOD -- First Generation, 1 G size, Firmware ver # 1.1.5
ITunes -- Ver # 7.2.0.34
Problem
I recently updated to the above version of ITunes. I also recently reset/erased all my songs (no podcasts or nothing else)from my IPOD.
I then reloaded just songs to my pod using the drag and drop method from the music file. I then re-arranged the songs in my desired order.
I then disonnected the pod and exited ITunes.
When I later restarted ITunes with the pod connected, my song order had changed. With the pod still open in ITunes, I am no longer able to change the play order position. As say, move song #45 to position #2 and etc.
Has something changed as I was always able to do this prior to updating ITunes and the pod ?
Was this caused by updating ITunes to the newest version?
Is there a solution to be able to manage the order of your songs as before ?
Thx

OK, When I am trying to do this, I see the following
columns
1. name
2. time artist and so on
In the name column the songs are numbered.
I've been referring to the UNlabeled column to the LEFT
of the "Name" column all this time... you seem to not be able to recognize that there actually IS such column according to your description.
I'm referring to the numbers on the LEFT side as in this image:

When I try and move 9 to 5 or whatever there is no
horizontal line as I have seen in previous versions.
I know how I accomplished this task before and it is
not working in this version.
Would it work to revert back to an earlier version of
Itunes ?
Dunno... from what I've read in the iTunes discussions
this problem has not appeared there.
BUT you CAN delete iTunes 7.2 and then go to http://filehippo.com/download_itunes and download 7.1.1 (under Old Versions in box on right side of page)
Install it and see if it solves the problem...
What version are you using ?
7.1.1(5)

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!

No backup is a huge mistake.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I have an old iPod, first generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio. I've emptied my iPod to my itunes library to allow space on the iPod. Question is: Can my friend put his music on a flash drive and somehow transfer to my computer.
