Itunes and Ipod Touch

I just received my ipod touch and I've had a couple problems with it as far as itunes is concerned. When I first plugged it into my computer, it was recognized and everything but whenever I go to load my music or pictures onto it, it takes nearly forever using my pc (it took 4 hours to put only 116 songs on it). However, when I loaded music onto it on a friend's mac, it loaded quickly with no problems whatsoever. I'm confused as to why it takes so long on my computer and if there is a way I can fix this? I had an older model ipod set up with it before I got my ipod touch and loading with it was a breeze. Help please? Thank you!

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

Aperture, iTunes and iPod Touch sync

I know I manage my iPod touch photos via iTunes. I know that I can sync Aperture with my iPod by choosing the Photo's tab after selecting my iPod touch device. I see that Aperture is an option, however when I choose it I get two radio buttons to pick from: "All photos and albums" and "Selected Albums". Problem is, the "Selected albums" is gray and I can not click it. I want to put photos on my iPod touch, however since my Aperture library is much larger then my ipod storage the sync ends up failing.
How do I select the currently grayed out option "Selected albums" so that I can have some photos at my disposal?
I am using a brand new iMac i7 with Aperture 3.0.1 and ipod touch software 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.0.3.

same trouble with same software-versions.

Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail. Now, I'm totally frustrated. So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone. I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch. My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. My system has the following:
     Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
     Model: m9150f
     Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
     Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
     System type: 32-bit Operating System
Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
     1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
     2.     no device displayed in iTunes
     3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
     4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
     5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
     6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
Thank you.
Chris

Win 8.1 - ITunes and Ipod Touch issues

I am running a new Envy TS notebook with Windows 8.1. I upgraded (1/23/14) to iTunes 11.1.4.62. After installation I encountered the procudure entry point error when attempting to start itunes. Per an Apple discussion group, I did the following:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from c:\Program Files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste intoc:\Program Files (x86) \ iTunes
This enabled iTunes to start but would not recognize my ipod. In Windows explorer, my ipod was listed only as Apple Ipod. I followed the recommendations to upgrade drivers to no avail. Finally I went to the control panel to uninstall the following Apple programs:
Apple Mobile Device Suport
Apple Application Support
iTunes
I then reboted the system and reinstalled iTunes and rebotted the system once again after installation.
Windows explorer now recognized my ipod as well as iTunes. In fact, now when I plug my ipod in a USB port, itunes automatically starts up and performs a sync with the ipod touch. Haven't had that happen for quite some time.

Hi JPM and Mlisowski ,
I-pods are the great mashines , but seem that some of the apple software do some mess in the win registries. They are running in the backround slowing a computer , and some times can do that Your other devices as a DVD reader just disapieres.
By my personaly experience , You can thry to use other (more windows friendly) free software to sincronyse Your i-pod,
and You may considere to check this page

Enjoy Your i-pod , GOOD LUCK , ad wish You all the best!!!

Problems with iTunes and iPod Touch

I'm unable to properly install itunes. Here is the process I go through in trying to connect my brand new ipod touch:
Open itunes 7.5, and proceed through installation as normal. Problems occur on the following progress bar:
updating component registration
copying new files
status:
(pauses for about 30s)
status: rolling back action:
(status bar backtracks to 0% and then installation continues)
I select to open iTunes after the installation completes.
I then plug in the ipod touch and get the error message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
Also, a window pops up saying there is a camera connected, and asks if I want to use microsoft office word, microsoft scanner and camera wizard, or photoshop to open "Apple iPod"
I've followed all troubleshooting steps provided on the apple website and am still having the issue. Any thoughts or recommendations? I have a very clean system with hardly any running processes. (my task bar has 3 icons total: trillian, volume control, and itunes)

Purchased Song numbers different on PC iTunes and iPod Touch

Im having problems with the speaker on my ipod touch and apple support has suggested I reformat my ipod.
I purchase music directly from both by ipod and PC iTunes using the same account.
However when I look at my purchased number of songs from my ipod it says 194.
My iTunes in the PC says 150.
If I reformat my iPod I will lose the extra 44 songs. Is there a way to have these appear in my PC iTunes so I can restore them to my iPod after I format it.
Please advise.

e mac unable to find external hard drives
Posted: Jul 14, 2010 7:04 AM Reply Email
I recently tried to move the contents of a full external drive to a new larger external drive. while doing this I lost around 4000 tunes. So I have been trying to locate them, some found in the strangest places on the main hard drive? Then two nights ago I lost the new hard drive in finder, quickly followed by the old external hard drive. I turned everything off, then on repaired permisions etc. Replugged everything back in, but no Hard drives showing either in finder or disc utility?
A good friend and fellow musician, took the drives away to see if they would work with his macs of differing vintages. They dont appear on any of his machines. When I spoke to him today he told me that his own external hard drive had vanished from his mac. Is something going on? An update from Apple we dont know about? Are any of you experiencing a similar problem. Both these external drives were working perfectly one minute then gone the next!
Even though my i tunes library is gone on one of my drives. I plugged my i pod in and created a new library, it was recognised!
Please help!

Itune and ipod touch

How can I download in itunes, my tv show already on my pc, to synchronize on my ipod touch? It doesn't work good when I try to add the file of my tv show.

Thak you Illaass for that.
Normally a device is allowed to be Autherized in three computers as I understand. Correct me if I am wrong.
Now the computer that I have autherized is to have new HDD [say if I have two other computer also autherised for these devices + the one I intend changing the HDD = 3 computers].
My question :Would I still able to Autherize my computer for the itune account where I had put in my new HDD?
[My understanding is that when new HDD put in the identity of the computer is changed and the iTume would recognise is as a new computer-Am I correct in my assumption] That is why I wish to learn if I need to Deautherize my computer prior to change the new HDD? [Computer may still bootable I hope!! That another issue]
Regards
PS: If 5 computers could be Autherized then I should not worry I suppose.[I am wrong in assuming that only 3 are allowed to autherized?!!]

Recently played list different on iTunes and iPod touch

So I recently got an iPod touch (8GB) and when I sync it to my iTunes (9.0.2.25) every other playlist downloads fine, except for my "Recently Added" and "top 30 most played" playlists. What I mean is the list of songs in those playlists is fine on iTunes, but on the iPod touch it is a different list of songs under those playlist titles.
Anyone help?

Yeah, it's kind of frustrating. What to do when you start from scratch and the problem still persists?
I've never run into that on a Mac for example. If you reformat and rebuild something it usually handles every situation. Here it's isolated to a couple Smart Playlists, not every Smart Playlist. Unless there's something inherently askew with the OS upgrade and a Most Played & Recently Played list.
I'm going to have to try another User forum to see if it's common or known buggy. I'll keep you posted if I learn anything.

How to delete un-listened to podcasts from itunes and iPod touch

Hi all,
I'm sure this is an easy one.
I have a bunch of old podcasts (The New York Times front page) that I never listened to. I can delete them off the iPod Touch 4G by swiping and then hitting "delete," but of course they come back when I sync to iTunes.
How can I get these old podcasts off iTunes forever? I have checked "automatically include all unplayed episodes of all podcasts." Surely the answer is in there somewhere, but I don't want to delete the unplayed episodes of OTHER podcasts.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

How can I get these old podcasts off iTunes forever? I
Select them in iTunes then press Delete.

ITunes and iPod touch 8gb 3rd generation

I had downloaded some songs to my iPod from iTunes and then something happened when I was syncing the iPod and the computer and now some of the songs are gone off of the music list in my music app on my iPod. I tried to redownload them and it said I had already bought those songs and asked if I wanted to continue. I said no because I have paid for them already and hated to pay for them again if I did. Is there a way to get them back? <edited by host>

Sorry, there is no 8gB, 3rd generation. You have a 2nd gen and it can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1
