IpodMini Shows Up on Itunes but says songs from itunes are not right format

I have a 2nd generation ipod mini and everytime i plug it into the computer itunes either freezes or shows up and when i try to put purchased music from itunes onto the ipod it says the ipod does not support this type of file. is this my ipod or itunes problem?

Try:
- 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 all books and resync
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
I have not heard of that problem before with books, only music.

Migrated iTunes to laptop, songs from old AppleID not authorized

I migrated iTunes from an iMac to a new MacBook and found that some songs that were purchased under an old AppleID are not authorized to play on the new computer. (I changed my AppleID over a year ago when I switched ISP's so the old email no longer exists.) Songs that I purchased under my current ID play without any problem. But when I try to play songs that were purchased under the old ID, iTunes prompts me to authorize them. Authorization fails because the ID "cannot be found". Authorizing the songs with my current ID doesn't help either.
Is there a way to re-associate those songs with my current AppleID or authorize the new computer for the old ID like my iMac? Advice is appreciated.

Im tryting to install new itunes but says windows installer, you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. help me?

"you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi" i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. ive tryed to uninstall but still does the same thing when.

Should the advice above not fix things for you...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

All songs imported to iTune on new computer from external are not found. HELP!

I have a new laptop. I installed iTunes on the computer and associated my external drive's fold with all my music as my main source. When I brought them into iTunes, they all have a small "i" in a circle and can't be located. NOW WHAT???
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

You guys are the best - thank you.
Since writing what I did below, Bekha wrote me back from last night (Apple rep I spoke with) and gave me the BEST article to do what I needed to do that I want to share with you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527?viewlocale=en_US
I did call Apple last night and had a really fun chat with this girl who said she did this three different ways and had trouble remembering how she did it all of them. But one of her suggestions (which I didn't use and am just explaining for anyone else who reads this) was to move all her music to her new computer's My Music folder. Then she opened Windows Media Player as they were associated with WMP. Then she installed her iTunes and when it opened, it asked her if she wanted that to be her default music player and she said yes. Somehow it transferred the ability to play that entire folder of My Music t iTunes. HOWEVER, she said sometimes it didn't work and would have to shut down and start again (too much fuss for me).
I found another way to do it. All my music is in a folder called iTunes Music which I created and have on an external F drive. I opened that drive and highlighted the single music files and dragged them into the iTunes on the new computer. Maybe because I choose to use "Manage music manually," that worked. Now, of course it's time to make all my playlists, drag them onto my iPhone, and back them up -- and I still have a lot more to put in. But that is how you can do it if you don't have a copy of your old iTunes available due to a HD crash. I never lose my music that way, keeping it on an external (actually, two), even if my computer decides to crash.
Thanks again for all your help.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

No.
Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:

I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia.

Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?

Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?
i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?
