I-pod wont sync new songs that were added on itunes....

this has been happening for over a month now where i connect my i-pod to my computer and the computer freezes. I am unable to even click anything on itunes becuase the program is frozen. I then unplug my i-pod from my computer and my computer goes back to normal yet now my i-pod is frozen, i then hold down the play/pause button on my i-pod to restart the i-pod. I then notice that still the songs have not been updated and no matter how many times i do this process over and over again it still doesnt change... how can i fix this so i can put new songs on my i-pod?

ignore above!
ive sorted it.
i coudnt see he 'done' button on the screen i kept getting.
just had to adjust my screen resolution, so i could see it and its all sorted now.

How come my ipod wont sync new songs?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File. For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

After initial iphoto import, how do I add (or sync) new events that were...

put into iphoto.
It seems that after you import the iphoto library that is like a snapshot in time of what your iphoto library looked like. Well, I import to iphoto from my camera and Aperture doesn't seem to reflect these new events that were created. Am I missing something here?

But your comment about writing a novel in Text and Word together is a little off, no offense. The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
My comment about Word and TextEdit was an analogy, and they are not perfect. But this is not true:
The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
No, you cannot actually make changes to any file in either app. You can process the photos and save the changes as a Modified Version (in iPhoto) in the database (in Aperture) but in neither app do you change the original file. Further, If you do this in iPhoto then Aperture is unaware of these changes, and vice versa, unless you import the modified versions to the other app. The relationship between them is not dynamic, nor designed to be.
When using iPhoto I would rsync my Originals off to another drive periodically. After some exploration, I noticed Aperture has a file structure called Masters. It is different for iPhoto in that it looks like Masters/<year>/<month>/<day/<yearMonthDay-time>/*.jpeg.
My question is there any way to change this a more iphoto way like Originals/<year>/<importDate>/*.jpeg?
This question turns up almost daily in some form on the forum So have a search around abot Referenced Masters, or check out the Manual.
In brief, no you cannot change the structure of the internals of the Aperture Library. However, you don't have to store the files there. You can reference your Masters from anywhere you want, sorted in any folder structure you prefer.
Can I apply changes in a destructive way? Sometimes I don't care about preserving the original.
No. Like iPhoto, that's simply impossible to do. Aperture is designed to work in exactly the opposite way.

HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes. Can someone tell me why?

I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed? Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

Hi Cricketdaw,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

I have 8 new songs that I purchased through iTunes that will not download to my computer. My computer is authorized and I have tried to transfer the purchases. Any ideas?

I purchased 8 new songs to use for a Movie Maker project through iTunes. They will not back up to my computer iTunes folder. I am certain I am doing something wrong but can not figure it out. I have already done the FILE > DEVICES > TRANSFER PURCHASES and it didn't work. Any advice is welcome.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

Transferring songs that i added to itunes from my CD collection

A similar question was asked yesterday, but the answers posted didn't answer my question...
I am sharing my music library with my mom by puttings songs on her ipod from my music library...I then want her to able to tranfer them into her itunes....I authorized her computer and was able to transfer purchased songs, but was not able to transfer the songs that I put on her ipod that came from my CD collection (that are in my library). Can someone tell me how to do this?

For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

ITunes wont sync new songs or charge.....

4th Gen iPod: New songs that are added appear in a random order on the iPod

Everything is correct in iTunes. (ripped straight off the CD) Its pretty irritating how it's not the same on the iPod. Anyway know how to fix it?

- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do I find songs that were downloaded from iTunes Match to my iPad for those times that I do not have an Internet connection.

I want to be able to have a smart playlist that contains all of my devices downloaded to my iOS device.

Uhhh, not sure I understand the question but you can shoe only the music that is in your iDevice by going to settings > music and setting "show all music" to OFF.

How to recover songs that were deleted

How do I recover songs that were deleted from itunes library and itunes acount and coputuer.

If the songs were purchased using your Apple ID on iTunes, simply open iTunes, click on the iTunes Store, then click "Purchased" on the right side and you can re-download from there.
If the songs were not purchased using your Apple ID on iTunes, recover them from your latest computer backup.

How to get songs that are in "previous iTunes Libraries" folders ??

I am unable to play scores and scores of songs that were on my iTunes 4.9 playlists now that I have "upgraded" to 7.0 I have a strange icon to the left of the song on my song list and when I go to play the song I get a message that the song cannot be located. The following notes come from iTunes help (see below) and I am wondering if anyone else has lost music and if so.....are they really lost or just misplaced? I would hate to think Apple would insist on an upgrade to buy more iTunes if they are going to scrub away hundreds of your other songs.
HELP PLEASE
Note: The library file name for versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 was "iTunes 4 Music Library" for Mac OS X and "iTunes 4 Music Library.itl" for Windows. After upgrading to iTunes 4.9 or later, the older library files are moved to a "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder.

If the strange icon you refer to is an exclamation point, the problem is that the song files are not in the location the iTunes Library files are saying they are.
Note that the iTunes Library files do not contain the actual song files but rather a list of references that point iTunes to where the songs are (or rather should be) located.
So the first thing I'd do is find out just where the files are on your computer. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to do so.
Post back and let us know if you're able to find the song files.
