IPod and iTunes file transfer

I just upgraded to iTunes 7 and now my file transfer to my ipod (3 genereation 15 gig) have come to a crawl. Some saying it will take hours. How do I fix this?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I have songs on my iPod and iTunes where sections ranging from 40 seconds to 2 minutes do not play.  The song status bar indicates the file is still being played but there is no audio.  What can I do to repair or replace these files?

    If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • Reloading ipod and itunes on a new computer

    I am trying to reload ipod and itunes on a new computer I recently bought. Because of disc management issues, I had these on an external drive (assigned the letter "F") on my old system. The letter "F" is assigned to a disc drive on my new computer. Every time I try to load ipod or itunes, the installer sequence tells me there is no available memory on drive F of the new machine (true enough), but will not let me re assign to a new drive.
    suggestions on how to resolve this?
    many thanks. Bill

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    For non-iTunes music (such as CDs or third-party), follow through this:

    Hope this helps.

  • All songs erased from ipod and itunes

    I'm trying to help a friend and learn in the process. When he turned on his ipod all the songs were gone and when itunes was opened to see about putting the 3000+ songs back on to the ipod the library had disappeared as well. He said he hadn't done anything,and he didn't back up any of the music. Is there anyway to rescue all of these songs from either itunes or the ipod? We bought and ran a program called Recover My Ipod, but it didn't work and I'm not to sure about it's reliability. Any help at all would be great it's windows xp.
      Windows XP  

    Don't give up on looking for the songs.
    You can use Explorer to search your computer for missing songs.
    On the Start menu, click "Search".
    Select "All Files and folders".
    In the "All or part of the file name" field, type the song name and then click "Search".
    If you see the file you are looking for in the Search Results window, you can add it back into your iTunes library.
    See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
    If they truly are gone from both the iPod and iTunes, have a read of this post which offers some hope.

  • Trouble synchronizing IPOD and ITunes

    I had the Ipod and ITunes syncing up correcting under my old laptop under Windows XP Professional. I got a new laptop with Windows XP Professional. I copied all the songs from the old to the new laptops and syncing was ok. The new laptop developed a problem, and I got a new replacement. I copied all the songs to the second new laptop and tried to sync up the laptop. Songs play okay in itunes, but the Ipod was wiped clean. Any ideas? I would hate to go back to reload CD's from my collection. Thanks.

    It says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action Please  install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel" :/ it says this when i try to reinstall and uninstall

  • HT1339 my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand.  So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct?  If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive.  Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
    If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

  • Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

    It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
    I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
    Repeat one
    Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
    Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
    iTunes music library.
    Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
    Why you say?....
    1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
    2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
    3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
    4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
    5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
    6.ETC
    And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
    This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
    This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
    It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)

  • Deleting previous versions of iPod and iTunes software

  • IPod and iTunes not compatible with WinXP

    It appears that the iPod (I have a 4GB nano) and iTunes (I tried what was on the CD, as well as the latest download of 6) are not compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition (patched to the hilt, all the latest updates installed).
    Installation works fine but iPod updater does not terminate cleanly and the iPod nano does not get rebooted properly, and although iTunes sees the iPod when it is plugged in, it does not recognize it from plug-in to plug-in (it's supposed to remember the name of the iPod device, and not re-prompt you to register, etc.).
    Also, when attempting to copy MP3 files to the iPod, it appears as though they are copying but they do not wind up on the iPod no matter how hard you try.
    Windows 2000 SP4, however, does not have any problems with the iTunes or iPod updater software and everything seems to work just fine.
    It would behoove Apple to investigate the compatibility problem that their software has with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and fix it as soon as possible.

    When i startup itunes it says:
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the Ipod's software"
    I am on xp media center edition 2005
    When I run the ipod updater it gives me "ipod service error"
    What can i do?
    I bought the 4gb nano just yesterday.
    both my ipod and itunes software are the Updated September 23, 2005 versions
    ps on my old pc with winxp sp2 barebones edition, it works fine...
    maybe its cos in mce 2k5 i got 2 users?

  • My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..

    im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
    60 gb video   Windows XP  

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Hi all. Never had any problems with iTunes over the past 6 or 7 years but suddenly (in last week or two) I can't play any songs with 10.6.1. I can select songs and get the speaker symbol, but the song does not play and the indicator stays at 0, while the play button is replaced by the pause button, as it normally does when a song is playing. I am using a one year old PC with Windows 7 and have had no other issues. Tried starting iTunes in safe mode...same result.Thoughts? Thanks.

  • IPod and iTunes Need Couples' Counseling?

    OK, I've been having some really weird problems with connecting my new 4th gen iPod touch to my Windows Vista PC and getting them to recognize each other properly. I plug my iPod into my computer's USB port with the iPod USB cable, expecting my computer to recognize the iPod like it used to with my old one, and automatically bring up iTunes. But to my surprise, no such luck. The computer and the iPod don't connect properly, I guess. The weird thing is, if I open iTunes manually, the program will freeze, I will force-quit it through the task manager, and then if I disconnect and reconnect the iPod, the computer will recognize it and everything will be peachy. Until iTunes freezes again, and I have to shut it down again, and then even if I open iTunes manually, it will not recognize the iPod (which won't appear in the sidebar in iTunes the way it usually does). Anything I can do to get my iPod and iTunes back on the same page, so they will play nicely together again?
    Thanks!

    What version of iTunes are you running on your PC? What about the iOS version on your iPod Touch? Is it possible that you are running iOS 4.2.1 on your iPod Touch and have an iTunes version lower than 10.1? If that is the case, try updating your iTunes to the newest release and see if that helps.

  • My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

    My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

    how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...
