I'm trying to listen to a library audiobook on my iPod
Overdrive loaded the files, and I can see them when I look at my iPod as a drive on my computer. But I can't play them using the iPod as a drive on my computer, and I can't find the book files on my iPod when I use the iPod menu. Any thoughts?
Contact Overdrive as they should be able to walk you through the process correctly.

why am i receiving the message "ipod could not be synced because connection to ipod was lost" when trying to transfer a downloaded library audiobook to my ipod, please?
- Reboot the computer
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable. !
- Try another USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. -

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?

How do I view downloaded public library audiobooks in WMA form on my 4th generation ipod?
I am able to transfer files using Overdrive. Overdirve says there are ipod permissions for using these WMA files on the ipod. The files transfer. They function (when the ipod is docked to the computer and they play through the computer). My problem is that I can't see the files on the ipod itself. Therefore, I can't play them on the ipod when it is not docked to the computer. I have looked through a lot of support areas and find nothing that addresses my problem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
I tried the transfer process all over again to see if I can better answer your questions. This time I used a "Welcome to Overdrive Media WMA" audiobook file. It is not a protected file, so I thought that would eliminate one problem. I have Overdrive Media Console software installed. What the Overdrive Media Console does is directly transfer the files of the borrowed library audiobook into the ipod. It does not use itunes at all. In fact, if itunes is open, it asks that you close it. If I use the Advance button during the transfer process, I can choose where in the ipod I want to place the file. Once the file(s) is/are in the ipod, it asks you to disconnect the ipod and enjoy reading the book! Now, when I try to find the files on the ipod, once it's disconnected, I cannot locate them. When the ipod is connected to my computer, I can navigate through the folders on the ipod and locate the file(s). I can even play the file(s) through my computer. There are files I can see when viewing the ipod as a disk drive that are not available when navigating through the ipod when it is disconnectied. For example, there is a folder called "Recordings" that I can see through Windows Explorer on the computers, but it is nowhere to be found when scrolling through the ipod when it is working independently. Conversely, there is an "Audiobook" folder on the ipod that does not show when I view it as a disk drive on the computer. Why is that?
Having established that I could bring in the file through Overdrive Media Console, I next tried bringing the same file into my ipod using itunes. This time when it asked to convert, it was allowed to convert the file. I found it in the music. I selected and right clicked it. then I selected "Get info". I changed the Media Kind to Audiobook. Now I have a Book tab when I select my device. The Welcome to Overdrive file is my one audiobook and I can locate it in the Audiobook folder under the Music folder. Terrific!
The remaining problem is to get library audiobooks that are marked as permitted to be put on my ipod to actually go there, using either itunes or Overdrive Media Console. I really don't care which method I use, as long as it works. Since I now have established a place for audiobooks to go, perhaps it would work, but my book loan expired today, so I have to borrow another book and try again. This may take a day or two for the loan to come through. At least that was how my first experience went in receiving a library audiobook. This time I will look more closely to see if somehow I can download the files from the library site to my ipod without first saving them into my computer. It may or may not be a choice.
Does any of this make any sense to you or give you any other ideas for suggestions? I am grateful to you for having this discussion with me. I was able to get some ideas from you and from your suggestions to try a few more things. I feel I have made some progress in understanding what it happening with audiobooks and my ipod. Now I need to be a better understanding of how this library system can work with the ipod. Thank you so much. -
How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library. Same with the artist.
Welcome to the Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv. -

I just purchased a new HP computer with windows 7. I installed 3.6. which I use as a default and had no trouble until I tried to listen to a webcast from the BMO metals and mining conference. When I clicked on listen to webcast I got a message tha tadditional plug ins were needed to display all the media on the page. I checked my system and was able to hear the test message, but I could not hear the actual webcast.
There was a box in the message saying click here to fins needed plug ins. When I clicked on it I got a screen saying no plug ins found. I have windows media player installed. There was a space to click on to test sound system, and I heard to message on the test, but when I tried to hear the actual webcast I got the same plug in needed message.
I then tried to listen on Chrome and got the same result. I tried to listen on Explorer and was able to hear the webcast and got no message about plug ins needed.
Is this just a case where they won't accommodate firefox, or is there a plug in or add on that I can install so I can use firefox.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem.

It is hard to tell which plugin is needed to play that webcast. You appear to have Flash and WMP and Silverlight. Other popular but less used plugins are RealPlayer and QuickTime.

"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library..."
Installed iPhoto6.
Started app. It said it would take a few seconds or minutes to upgrade.
About 6 hours later after churning on thumbnails it is now claiming this error over and over with some time that goes by in between:
"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."
"Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
It says I have 22,759 photos in Library. The Library was a subset of my images, named "iPhoto Library 2005" and it was intentionally kept below the 25,000 limit of iPhoto5.
Since Steve claims iPhoto6 can easily handle 250,000 photos, I clicked on the upgrade button with confidence. This now appears to be a mistake. Last night I was working on an iDVD for the local school and the majority of that work has simply vanished. There were 320 photos. I spent hours adding keywords, ranking, adjusting temperature, focus, exposure, etc.
Of the 320, only 16 photos survived. They are 16 in a row from the middle of the roll near the end but not at the end. The roll name was lost. The name is now just "Roll 226" and none of the photos have keywords. I know at least one of the 16 should have the keyword "DUPE" and the ranking 2 STARS since it precedes a double that I ranked 2 during a slideshow, sorted by ranking, and dragged to the DUPE keyword. All 16 should have the ACROCK keyword which I initially assigned to all photos.
Again, 304 of 320 have vanished and the 16 that remain have no keywords or rankings.
I watched the slide show in iPhoto5 three times with different music candidates so I know the keywording and rankings evaporated in iPhoto6. I also clicked ACROCK and option clicked DUPE and POOR so that all of the music program photos except dupes and poor images would vanish. I only deleted one photo so there were not a lot of changes to the library in terms of photos in it. I cannot think of any reason why the 16 chosen survived. Only two were placed in a DVD dropzone and they are scattered amongst the 16 survivors.
Also, the ACROCK and DUPE keywords are also gone while the POOR keyword added in August is in the keyword table just fine.
I exported these 320 photos last night to iDVD and tried almost all of the different themes and I dragged about 10 different photos to the dropzones, hit play, hit motion, etc.
It seems very strange that 16 photos from the middle of the pack would survive.
It seems extra odd that iPhoto5 and iDVD treated these as "established" photos, not photos hanging in the wings somewhere ready to vanish in an upgrade.
I gracefully saved and quit iDVD and iPhoto5 and there were no crashes and nothing strange happened while making the DVD. I was hoping today to try out the new themes and maybe find one that is just right for the kids. Instead, about 300 of 320 photos of the kids went bye-bye along with all the work on the photos!
I'm nervous that many more photos are missing but I will need to do a ton of checking to see what else has been deleted by the upgrade.
The user message that iPhoto6 presents is nearly useless and strange. It offers little if anything to go on in terms of a repair procedure. After saying an error has occurred, it says some recent changes could be lost but doesn't expand at all on what they may be or why.
From my experience, recently added photos, keywords, keyword assignments, rankings and maybe more can all be lost. To compound matters, before the upgrade it says that you cannot go back to the prior (working!) library in iPhoto5. Beware!
It finishes by suggesting two vague steps to take. The first is to make sure your disk has "enough" space. How much is "enough"? It doesn't say something like X GB available, Y GB needed. A user would have no clue about how much space to free up. I have over 17 GB and assumed that would be enough. I sure hope it doesn't require double the space of the existing library. I would hope it has a smarter algorithm than that since 23,000 photos at about 3 MB each maps to about 70 GB. That's a lot of "temporary" space to require to perform an upgrade. Since the upgrade/error message provide no details (unlike package installers which supposedly tell you how much space you need), users like me would have no clue if 70 GB is plenty or not enough.
I found 24 GB secretly used by iPhoto 5 for an iPod Photo Cache and a tech bulletin saying this just grows and grows without control and it can be deleted SO I wouldn't put huge hidden disk usage past iPhoto6.
The last none-to-helpful suggestion is that a user make sure that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder. Huh?!??!?
Wouldn't this be a great thing to confirm via software before setting about on 6+ hours of work, especially if there is an error message hard-coded in the software confirming that Apple knows the result may be losing valuable customer photos and hours of work on enhancing, keywording, creating DVDs, etc.?
Of course. This appears negligent. To know that customer file loss will likely result but not checking these things out in advance before taking that risk seems like putting the cart before the horse at customers' expense & pain and certain loss of irreplaceable family photos (for the, say, 80%+ of iPhoto users that "plan" to get a backup routine established?).
I got burned in the iPhoto5 upgrade as well, losing photos, so I was sure to have a backup so it wouldn't happen again. Most I fear won't be so fortunate so be advised of the risk and work with copies of your photos only.
Also, why would iPhoto5 have all the permissions it needs to store, edit, tag and otherwise work with 320 photos added last night? Why would version 5 have plenty of permissions to use the folders and the photos in them. Why would iPhoto 6 suddenly lose those permissions or not have enough? This hardly makes any sense. The only way the permissions were set, the iPhoto libraries got created and the albums got created was by dragging a folder of images onto the albums pane in iPhoto5. So, iPhoto5 set all the permissions, everything is under one user account and there should be no surprise permissions for iPhoto6 to deal with.
It seems unbelievable that iPhoto 6 couldn't do what iPhoto 5 was doing. I never changed permissions and never touched files in the iPhoto 5 structure.
I can only guess that recently added keywords, recently added photos and recently added rankings and keyword taggings linger in some at-risk staging area that a version 6 upgrade doesn't know how to deal with. This seems like a lame way to code this app so I don't consider this a good guess but what else could it be?
Anyone else have a better hunch at a root cause?
Anyone else have an idea of a cure?
Anyone else run into this?
It sure doesn't look like there was a test case for having near 25,000 photos (an iPhoto 5 documented requirement), working with the latest roll and then doing a version 6 upgrade because it failed miserably--user data loss--without any special effort to find defects. In a former life I tested software and released software was much more difficult to break than this.
I would appreciate any other user experiences/solutions related to this problem. I am reluctant to import another 22,000 photos from iPhoto Library 2004 only to find more photos go poof without any rhyme or reason.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this alerts others to a potential for valuable photo loss (i.e., back up before you upgrade, verify iPhoto Library permissions--whatever that means--and have scads of disk space available assuming there's any truth to the error message!).

G5 Dual 2.7 GHz 2 GB DDR SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)I'll check if I have copies of copies of copies. This could take a while due to the number of files.
I picked up a brand new 300 GB Western Digital hard drive thinking 20GB or so was not enough for temp files for upgrading and/or importing.
I formatted it as a mac os extended, journaled drive, not case sensitive, one full-size partition. I started iPhoto6 with the option key. I had a CF in my other WD 300 GB (with media reader). iPhoto6 asked about the photos on the card. I told it not to download those (again). Because I was holding the option key down, iPhoto6 asked if I wanted to select a different library or create one. I created one on the brand new, 100% empty 300 GB drive. I'm not sure if/where iPhoto6 creates temporary/cache files (like iPhoto iPod Cache folder) as it sets up a new library. I was hoping the empty 300 GB drive would give it ample room to load an existing iPhoto5 library.
When I dragged an old iPhoto5 Library onto the new iPhoto6 Library Album pane. I saw the "Importing..." start and it went on and on and on and... I let it run for HOURS and HOURS. When I checked around midnight, it had crashed. When I started it again, it said it had run across some huge number of stray photos.
I have no idea why iPhoto6 would have trouble importing an iPhoto5 library that was below the 25,000 photo mark for 5. This is especially bizarre since iPhoto6 claims it supports 250,000 photos!
I'll be trying to figure out if these stray photos got imported as dupes, if they lost iPhoto5 keywords, etc. I fear something different but equally bad happened since the number of photos it came up with was like 79,000--again many stray photos that didn't make it into the first import for no known reason. Since libraries in iPhoto5 were around 25,000 or less, I'm not sure what's happening.
Maybe there's a cache or temp file still created on Macintosh HD and not on the empty new 300GB drive and a bug exists for imports when space on Mac HD is "low" (i.e., under 3.5 GB). Maybe it's seeing thumbs as files it should import? Maybe it's seeing Orig and Modified images as worthy of reimporting?
I had told it not to import dupes but who knows if it goes by file name, checksum, byte-for-byte comparison, etc.
I'm not sure if I can even pull up iPhoto5 and 6 at the same time now to scroll through the libraries to see if dupes, thumbs, original/modifies/etc. are showing up to boost the count from under 25K to 79K!
Ideas? At least I know I'm not the only G5 dual user with this problem!

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,

I have been trying to add my iPhoto Library to files for time machine backup.
I was instructed to click on the Options minus button - but it is greyed out and not functional.
What is the solution ?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Roberto KayYou can "see" the iPhoto library in Time Machine backups, but you cannot "open" the library or "browse" the contents while you are in Time Machine.
Apple makes you restore the entire iPhoto library to another destination...like your desktop....if you want to retrieve a few older images that you may have deleted by mistake.
This is a convoluted mess, but unfortunately, that is the way it is.
See Pondini's excellent, detailed information on this:
http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
You might also want to post in the iPhoto support area to see if the experts over there might have a workaround for you. I cannot find one, but I'm not an iPhoto expert.
