ITunes 7 Help: No longer able to import new songs onto iPod

Hello, I'm experiencing a bad problem that is completely preventing me from adding new songs to my iPod.
This problem started when I got the new iTunes 7. Whenever I connect my iPod and drag and drop the songs, it would appear as if iTunes is importing them in what I call the "status box" at the top, however when it is done and I look on the song list, the songs are not there. I can also confirm that the importing failed when I see that the memory is dropping on my iPod but then instantly rises back up.
What do I do?

Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
3) download and install the above version 605.
I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
Your mileage may vary.

Ipod sync issue with rhythmbox or banshee in linux - not able to view new songs in ipod

Ipod nano with version 1.0.2 PC with serial number DCYLLQWTF0GP with model MD477HN, cant be sync with rhythmbox or banshee in linux. I am not able to see new list of songs in ipod

My contact number is - 9999504380 (Delhi,India)

Computer crashed before I could sync new songs onto ipod

I was wondering if there is a way to effectively "repurchase" the songs I just bought, without actually paying again. I purchased a bunch and burned them onto a CD before I lost my entire Itunes library in a crash. Unfortunately, that CD has some sound quality issues, I think because I burned it at maximum speed, my bad.
I feel like Itunes should be allowing me to get those songs without having to sync them from my Ipod, as in, I go into my Itunes Store purchase history and put those all on my "new" library. Is this just wishful thinking?

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

Hi ckuan,
Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures.Is it ok if i create a vault and delete all my projects in the HD.Can I use an external HD use aperture through the vault??

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures. I don't know what to do. I created a vault. My plan was to create a vault(put all my master files into an external harddrive) and then delete all my projects in my mac pro's harddrive. Is it the correct way to do it ? What should I do if I have thousands of raw files ? How should my workflow be? Can I use an external HD and use aperture through the vault,without keeping the master files on my computer's hard drive?? Or should I shoot raw+jpeg and store raw files in an external backup harddrive and import only jpegs into my aperture library?

There's a bit to learn. It will slowly make sense.
Aperture is an empty field. You're given a tractor and a whole bunch of attachments. What you grow, how, and where, is entirely up to you.
Vaults are for back-up and only for back-up. They have nothing to do with storing your working files.
When your Library outgrows your system drive (and for good performance, you should leave c. 20% of every drive empty), it's time to convert some of your image's Masters from Managed to Referenced. ("Managed" and "Referenced" refer to Masters, not to Libraries.)
There are hundreds of posts in the forum, and several pages in the User Manual on using Masters.
Many people run Aperture with the Library on their system disk, and most (or all) of their images' Masters on external FW drives. This is a good set-up. Note that you will likely have to take steps to back-up the data on your external drives.
If you do the above, there should be no reason to delete any Projects.
The choice of RAW or RAW+JPEG or JPEG depends on the kind of work you are doing. I capture RAW only -- but I don't do any commercial shoots. Pros on deadlines report that the RAW+JPEG works well for them. Capture JPEG if it saves you time. IMHO, there is not a good reason to shoot JPEG to save space (space is cheap; time expensive).
Short-term solution: buy and use a FW800 external 1 TB drive, formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and using Aperture relocate the Masters of all images older than 30 days to that drive. (Be sure to change your back-up strategy to include this new drive; you may need a second new drive.)
This general post of mine might help you understand more about Aperture.

My iTunes is no longer able to broadcast radio streams

Until recently, I've been able to stream radio successfully through iTunes and my old G4 Notebook. The music plays through ceiling speakers in the house. Recently we installed a new modem from Time Warner and my iTunes is no longer able to broadcast the Internet stream. The radio stations are broadcasting successfully; so that’s definitely not a problem. The G4 is able to broadcast songs I’ve downloaded. It’s just dead when it comes to picking up the Internet frequency. Any suggestions? Thanks. Johnnymoon.

I am having the same problem after adding the last update.

Do I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs to my library?

I have just imported a CD to the new iTunes and it will only appear in the Up Next list, and doesn't appear properly in my library. I have tried restarting iTunes, and it didn't work. I am wondering if I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs? I also can't see the album in iTunes to be able to add the songs to my iPod, is there anyway to resolve this without subscribing to iTunes match?

Hi,
You don't need subscribe to match.
Many posters have reported this problem. Have a look at the posts on this topic in the Itunes for Mac forum.
A suggestion made in some posts is that if you download the free single of the week from itunes store.
Can't comment any further as I have never encoutered this problem.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Cannot put new songs on ipod nano with itunes 11

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now cannot put new songs on my son's iPod nano (gen6, 1.2PC). Help, please.

An iPod will not (and cannot) have iTunes 11 on it. If you mean you want to sync your iPod from your computer with iTunes 11, just connect the iPod and click its name in the header bar. Or go to the View menu in iTunes and select "Show Sidebar" and you'll have an interface substantially the same as in earlier versions of iTunes.
Regards.

When trying to manually add new songs to ipod, itunes gets stuck on preparing to update and does not transfer songs.

While adding new songs to ipod touch, all was fine.
Then suddenly, everytime I tried to add new songs, Itunes got stuck on "preparing to update."
Now I can add no songs at all.

Somebody on twitter mentioned temporarily turning off their passcode before syncing and that seemed to help.

I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

New windows 8 pc doesn't show old itunes library. How can i transfer my songs from IPod Nano 2nd Gen to computer

My new Windows 8 PC doesn't show my old Itunes library. How can I transfer my songs from IPod 2nd Gen to new PC?

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:
