Ipod re-intalling all entire library, but used space has doubled!

Odd. Plugged in my Ipod (30g video) to re-charge and my Ipod began updatting the entire library. I didn't think anything of it, it's been awhile and I had added about 10 new songs.
Wehn I got back from a meeting, the library was complete, but my used space has doubled! Almost like there are two version of everything.
This ring a bell to anyone?

This didn't work. I get this error when repairing the disk "The underlying task reported failure on exit" And when I gave in to restoring it, I got this error "The ipod disk does not have the correct structure. You need to restore the ipod" Which what it was doing. Why would I get the error? And the next time I plugged in the pod it mounted, itunes recognized it, but it only had 2GB since that was the only amount it restored the first time apparently. Any more ideas?

  • How do i put one playlist on my ipod and not the entire library

    I have recently purchased the newest ipod nano and downloaded the newest itunes and I cannot seem to find out how to select one playlist to go on my ipod. I don't want the entire library but only 1 of the playlists. How do i do this?
    Thank you!

    If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

    my apple tv devices and other apple devices can access my library but using my library, i cant access any of the apple tv devices through airplay

    Home sharing isn't working either
    Which is why you can not use the remote app.  Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
    eve though they have the same Apple ID.
    Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though?  Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
    Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
    That would be AirPlay, not homesharing.  THey are not related.  Did you enable air play on all the devices?
    Have you run the network test tools on ATV?  Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

  • I accidentally deleted my whole i tune library. I was able to retrieve the entire library, but all my play lists have dissapeared and iTunes says that my ipod is not synced with this computer. Can i sync my playlists from my ipod to my itunes?

    i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?

    With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

  • Can you download all of your iTunes match account onto your computer?  I screwed up my iPod that had the entire library on it and the computer that had the hard copies of the files on it blew a hard drive.  I need to get the files back from iTunes Match.

    Can you recover/download all of your iTunes Match account onto your computer?  I synced the iPod that I had the entire library on to a new computer and lost almost all of my music.  The old computer that had the library on it blew a hard drive and I can't sync the iPod back to the old computer.  Everything is in iTunes Match, but can I load it onto my computer, so I can get it back on my classic iPod?

    If you had iTunes Match before all this happened, yes. Just log in, activate iTM and download the music. If you did not have iTunes Match prior to these incidents, no, it can not help you.
    You should also be doing regular backups of your personal data to an extnal HDD. If you had a backup hue could simply restore it.

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • TS1277 When I installed Itunes into my new computer...It installed all my Library, but NOT my PLAYLISTS. What can I do?

    Cannot find my playlists that I had in my ITunes in my other computer.  I bought this computer and installed Itunes. It all installed fine in my library, BUT.....  MY PLAYLISTS aren't there. What can I do?

    If you connect your ipod to the itunes. If it tells you you need to erase then just cancel that.
    Click on your iPod in the left hand sidebar
    Ctrl S to show sidebar
    Select ipod and expand the selection by clicking onthe black arrow
    Right mouse click on the iPod Playlist and select export
    Then when you are done Use File > Library > Import Playlist (Ctrl + B to show top menu in windows)
    This should put your playlists in iTunes which if the songs are there should work fine

  • Exporting Of Entire Library for use with Tversity and PS3

    I'm a recent Mac owner and my background is windows. I have a setup at home where all my photos are backed up to a windows server which uses tversity to distribute photos etc to my PlayStation 3 for display on my television. I want to use the Mac as the source for my photos. Having imported all my photos into iPhoto I have realised that my standard concept of organising all my photos into folders based on the month they were taken is perhaps outdated and iPhoto creates it's own library. I still want to be able to view the photos on the PS3 so somehow need to get the files back to my windows PC.
    I have the following questions:
    1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
    2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
    3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
    4. I'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to. I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
    Apologies if any of these are stupid questions. I've had a good look through the forums and can't find any answers that address this issue.

    iPhoto has no cross platform ability at all. It may well not be the app for you.
    1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
    No.
    2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
    You can export the files easily using the File -> Export command. A app like *_[Iphoto To Disk|http://www.Iphototodisk.com>_* will help automate the process for you.
    3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
    No, not always. If you choose 'Originals' in the export dialogue that's what you'll get.
    'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to.
    They don't. When you import photos to iPhoto they are stored in folders that reflect the Events in the iPhoto Window. But if you move files between Events in the iPhoto Window that's not reflected in how the files are stored on the HD. Albums are virtual, they are entirely constructs of the iPhoto Database. They have no corresponding folders on the HD at all. This is why a photo can be in 100 albums and use no extra disk space at all.
    I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
    No.
    The point of iPhoto is that it's about managing Photos not Files. The idea is to let iPhoto store the files and for you to forget about them and get on with organising the photos. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and iPhoto tracks the relationship between what you decide and the actual files.
    What you can do is run a Referenced Library.
    *I strongly caution you against doing this because you are inexperienced with Macs and iPhoto*
    It's a limited way to meet your requirements. You can decide how to store the unedited photos only. You still have no access to the edited ones except via iPhoto. Really, the best this offers is some comfort for people who have a burning need to see where the files are on the HD. It offers no functionality.
    That said:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • 3g on all the time but use only wifi

    I would like to know, how to setup 3g on ipad in a way that the 3g will be on all the time, (for purpose of using it as a gps locator), but use only wifi for data.
    I have 10euro prepaid card and I would like to use it for emergency, I do not want to have pushed email while I'm driving ..etc.
    How to set it up?

    Having 3G on or activated shouldn't be necessarily for GPS - some people have the 3G iPad for its GPS capability and never activate 3G on it

  • WHEN RESTORING BACKUP OF ENTIRE LIBRARY, NOT ONE PLAYLIST HAS RESTORED!

    my harddisk developed an unrepairable corruption, and i had to completely reformat and fresh install my operating system. I was able to backup my entire library onto 9 dvds (37 gig), but when restoring, the music rstored without problems, but horror of horrors not one playlist has appeared... this is terrible! Please help me anyone who can tell me how to rescue them. Is it necessary to restore the discs in a particular order? i.e. the last dvd first to be inserted for restore, or are the playlists somewhere on one of the dvds in a file? please please help.

    I had this same problem. I just bought an aluminum iMac, and needed to transfer my music from my old Windows PC. I did the backup to DVD thing, and then followed the restore instructions to copy it onto the iMac. Everything got transferred perfectly, except for the playlists. Since I didn't want to redo them all, I got a little crafty and it worked!
    1) Do the backup/restore, etc, according to the instructions here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392.
    To get your playlist, etc....
    2) Quit all the way out of iTunes.
    3) Go into the music folder and rename the "iTunes Library" file to something else. (I picked iTunes Library-old). Make sure this is the "iTunes Library" one, NOT the "iTunes Music Library" one.
    4) Find the "iTunes Library.itl" file on your backup CD/DVDs. Do not run the restore again. Click cancel if the dialog box pops up asking if you want to restore.
    5) Copy that file into the folder from step 3.
    6) Start up iTunes, and you should see all your playlists
    7) You will likely have a lot of files with an "!" next to them, so you will have to have iTunes "find" each of them.

  • My ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen has been cracked for about 1month but the wifi has recently started to play up and wont work will apple cover this and give me a refurbished one whern i go to my appointment at the genius bar??

    my ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen cracked about 1 month ago and just yesterday my wifi on my ipod isw playing up and not working very well will apple give me a new one at my genius appointment?

    Very likely not.   A bvroken screen is not covered by the warranty. It also shows abuse aht voaid the warranty for the entire iPod.  Howecver, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise yu will have to pay $99, $149 or $%199 depending upon the capacity,

  • I have plenty of space on my iPod classic yet it doesn't sync all my songs. I have the setting to 'sync entire library', but out of 1019, on 993 sync. Why is that?

    I just got my iPod Classic in the mail and I have the newest version of iTunes on my PC. However, I have 1019 songs and only 993 of them sync to the iPod. I noticed when I searched for a song I recently bought and it wasn' there. I know there is a lot a space, so I don't understand. Is it a defect? Can I fix it? Please Help!

    Thanks but I solved the problem...it was really simple. Out of 160GB I had only used 34GB, so I knew I had space. What happened was in the process of downloading songs I also downloaded a few episodes of United States of Tara, which was taking a long time to download so even though it said I had 1019 songs the 26 undownloaded were on iCloud, not on my computer. So I paused the downloading of my episodes so my songs could finish downloading. Now my iPod and computer are in sync.
    I don't know how this works so I'll give the points anyway, for being the only one who attempted to solve my problem.
