ITunes 7 and nano: can't copy files

I don't know whats wrong! I updated to iTunes 7 yesterday, and as of today I can no longer copy files to my nano.
I go to copy a bunch, and the usage bar at the bottom says that its filling. when it gets to the last file, the usage bar goes back to the beginning, and says ive used 0 of my 1000mb.
Ive restored my nano from scratch, to no avail. I've rebooted and reinstalled iTunes. I'm lost.
Help!

I just installed iTunes 7 on another system, and tried there. Same problem.
The issue is either with my Nano, or iTunes 7.
Help!

  • ITunes says nano can't play file type

    After updating to 1.1.3 for my nano 8GB, there are 101 songs that iTunes refuses to sync to the nano, saying:
    Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Great Escape", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod.
    When I use the disclosure triangle to see details, all 101 songs give the same info, for example:
    "Multiply" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPod "My iPod".
    But these are all just MP3 files. Some, if not all, of them were purchased in the iTunes store, then burned to a standard CD (aiff?), then later reloaded. They've all been played before on this iPod. I still have the original protected song files filed away, and I could pull them out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.

    Was there some reason you wanted to change the format of the songs? I've seen this problem before and I can't remember what (if any) solution there was other than to use the original AAC files.
    Remember, by burning the original files to a cd then re-importing to an mp3 file, you have compressed an already compressed file even further and so compromised the sound quality.
    I know you should be able to use mp3 files but is there some reason you don't want to use the original AAC file?

  • I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can played but when I dowloaded to mi i pod nano 6 the file is wrong i tryed several times and do the same thing :( what can i do?

    I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can play it BUT when I downloaded to my ipod it get the wrong file! I tryed deveral times and keep doing the same thing, how can i fix it? I apreciate your help.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
    If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

    Hi,
    I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
    I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
    1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
    2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
    3. No right click works on track pad?
    4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
    5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
    I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
    Regards,

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

  • I cannot drag items (files, maps) and drop them. And neither can I copy paste anything, not even text!

    I just bought a new MacBook Air, at the start of November. And recently I can't copy files or maps, and neither can I drag and drop them. This get's really annoying as I kinda need this possibility when I study! Please help!

    Hello GiaDuke,
    i am having exactly the same issue, however my problem started prior to updating to 10.5.7. I updated in the hope that it would resolve the issue.
    copy and paste no longer works. Cut works but i can not re-paste the copied/cut text. Neither mouse or keyboard shortcuts work.
    i can select, click, double click etc with no problems. Applications and files launch when i click them, scrolling etc works fine.
    2 things i have noticed:
    1) Spotlight has dissapeared from my menu bar. Keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight no longer work. I have been into spotlight preferences and all seems normal, yet still no spotlight.
    2) When i hover over a link or icon, often additional information pops up. This is no longer happening. It's almost as if the system doesnt know where the mouse cursor actually is on the screen.
    While i still have a useable system, it is extremely frustrating not having the most basic functionality of cutting and pasting, draging and dropping, he ability to move files and icons around etc.
    HELP!!!!!!

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can't copy files to hard disk

    I have been having trouble copying/moving files to an external hard drive from my Macbook Air 3,2. I have moved and copied files from the MacBook Air many times to the external hard disk but this time I am having a lot of trouble.
    I tried to move 2 movie files but it was taking an incredibly long time. So I clicked the "x" to cancel the transfer. However, it didn't stop it straightaway. The transfer just remained in limbo. Then I got a message saying something about how I didn't disconnect the hard disk properly and the hard disk just seemed to have disconnected itself from my computer even though I didn't eject it.
    Then it caused problems for my MacBook Air. When I went to check on the disk in Utilities, it told me I had to use the installation disk to start it up. Other strange things happened like my desktop picture just disappeared and suddenly I had an extra 10GB on my hard drive.
    I repaired the disk successfully using the installation thumb USB drive.
    (I also repaired the external hard disk).
    But I am having the same problem again when I try to move files onto the hard disk. It doesn't seem to work, as it's incredibly slow and when I cancel it, it says I ejected the hard disk wrongly. And the drive does not appear in the Finder Window.
    I don't know why this is happening to me. I repaired the MacBook Air HD and I also repaired the external disk and I can't copy movie files onto the hard disk. I have enough space and both disks are Mac Ext Journal formatted. I copied lots of movies the other day (about three days ago and last night) onto the hard disk without any problems.
    I really need to move the movies from my computer as I will runn out of disk space on the computer soon (I have about 12 GB left right now).
    I tried copying a jpg picture as a test, and it copied it OK but it took a long time. Much longer than normal.
    I got an error message just now:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Elechxxxxxxxxxx.mp4” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    I never got this sort of error message before but now I am getting this message today several times when I try and copy the movies. I don't think it's the files themselves because I copied the same sort of movie files last night without any problem.
    And as I said, the jpg file took a really long time to copy, like 2 minutes even though it's only a very small file.

    This is not about saving the data on the external drive but I found this information to be helpful in case people have problems ejecting a drive:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1322931
    I threw the following:
    sudo umount -vf /dev/disk1s1
    and the drive umounted. -v is verbose, just in case there were any errors thrown I wanted to know, and -f is force umount, which forces the drive to unmount. Check 'man umount' from terminal to see more info on these.
    After doing this a couple times (I was doing some testing with some other things to find a faster solution than having to open terminal and umount) it just started umounting correctly. I have no idea why, but it did. So just keep that command in mind, just in case.
    Gryyphyn, out.
    This may prevent the drive from being damaged by incorrect ejection. Because I could not eject the drive using force eject, restarting the computer etc, I unplugged the drive, which damaged the hardware of the drive.
    If I had known about the command window method, I might have  been able to avoid all these problems now that I have with a damaged drive and trying to rescue the data on that drive.
    That being said, I think Apple should try and resolve this problem they have with users not being able to eject drives. It seems to be a VERY common problem, and has nothing to do with users' negligence but to do with a systemic fault of Apple's.

  • Can't copy file from SAP-directory to FTP server

    Hello,
    I can't copy files from the SAP server to the FTP server. The file is created with OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET commands and is placed in the SAP-directory S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work.
    I can see and read the file with transaction al11, so I know it's there.
    But the FTP command always gives the same error:
    S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work\[FILENAME] errno 22: invalid argument
    I can connect to the FTP, but the put command keeps failing. Somehow, the file in the SAP directory can't be read, it seems, even when
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    Ok, I found out that I have to use SAPFTPA as RFC destination type, instead of SAPFTP, otherwise the folders can't be located.
    But with SAPFTPA I can't seem to connect to the FTP server. I've tested the connection with sm59 and it works, but for the FTP it doesn't work. When I use SAPFTP as destination type, it still works.
    What can I do?
    Thanks.

  • Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

    So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
    I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
    thanks

    Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
    If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
    Hope this helps, let me know

  • Can't copy file to network drive as "The operation can't be completed because the [Filename] is in use

    Following upgrade to Yosemite I now can't copy files from iMac to my network HDD in external media center. I have iMac connected by wi-fi to airport extreme and media center connected to airport extreme by cable. I can see the HDD as a network drive on my iMac and can initiate the copy but right when copy process is finished I see "The operation can’t be completed because the [Filename] is in use". I am trying to copy different media files downloaded from internet which are not used by any program and stored on my hard drive. I actually can copy small files of 1mb and it works but anything above 20mb is halted. I can also move/copy/delete the file on iMac. Cant understand the nature of the problem. I tried to format external HDD as EXT2/EXT3/NTFS but same outcome.

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
