Itunes music. movies, podcasts, etc.

I recently heard about the new Microsoft Zune coming out this christmas season and dic=scovered from reviews that is is going to be a total failure. (It *****), so I am getting an ipod, buy when I download itunes onto my computer won't it take up a lot of space when I download a lot of movies, songs, etc.??? I need help on this issue, because I am wandering about the storage capacity of itunes, I am unfamiliar with itunes.
Thanks.

Your computer will run itunes, but you haven't told us how big your hard drive is. Simply open my computer and right click on your hard drive, then click properties. Any sized hard drive will work with an ipod, but if your HD is smaller than the size of the ipods, then you will only be able to sync what your computer can hold to the ipod.
It is impractical to sync movies to the ipod then delete them off the computer, but it could be done.

  • Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

    I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!! 
    I just downloaded the iTunes program.
    Very confused, pleaseee help ...

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

    Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
    If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
    You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.

  • I downloaded the newest update on my Ipod Nano (generation 6?) Now I can't swipe and go back. I can't figure out how to go from music to podcasts, etc.

    Once I downloaded the new update, I cannot move between musice, fitness, podcasts, etc. The only way it seems to reset is to plug it into the computer. Right swipe does not take me back anymore.

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

  • Lost sound playback for movies, podcasts, etc.  How can I regain playback?

    I have lost audio playback for movies, podcasts, etc on my iPad2.  New user.  How can I get my sound playback back?  It worked initially!

    discovered the solution from another discussion group. 
    Double clicking on the "home" button of the iPad opens a list of apps across the bottom of the screen.  Moving to the left end of this display there is an audio slide bar which was set to the lowest part on my iPad.  Moving this setting to a mid level restored sound to the video feeds I was having trouble with.

  • I just updated my Mac Mini to the newest version of itunes and itunes no longer reconizes my external hard drive as my storage for itunes. All of my music, movies, playlist, etc. are found on my itunes. Help I'm about to punch something!!!

    I had some updates for my mac mini and so I updated and when it reboot I checked iTunes and all of my data was gone. I have a 2TB External HDD that contains all of my iTunes data and before the latest Sept. 2012 iTunes  update I had the folder located in the advanced tab of itunes located on my external HDD. After the reboot and the new iTunes software was installed it defalted to my HDD on my mini and nothing that was there before the update was no longer there. All of my music, playlists, podcasts, folders, movies etc. was gone. I have redirected the library file locating back to my external HDD but it still is not working. HELP!!!!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Windows images, but you get the point. Depending on the age of your library the library file might not include the .itl extention. Make it match the file you are replacing.
    See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

  • HT1364 Due to lack of space on my c drive I decided to move my music folder to the d drive. After I done this I changed my mind and put the music folder back on the c drive and now my itunes music and playlists etc. are missing. How do I get them back?

All my music and playlists etc are still missing from itunes. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem???

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Move Itunes, Music and Podcast to a new PC

    I want to move ITunes software, Music and Podcast from a Windows XP to a Windows 7 PC and keep the Podcast and Music?  I don't want the IPod Shuffle to be resync.  It wants to clear the Podcast and Music that's on the IPod Shuffle.

    This document describes some methods.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    The most precise and efficient method is the one named External drive.  If you are proficient in networking Windows computers, you can use the same method and transfer the files over a network connection, instead of using an external drive.  NOTE:  Depending on network speed, using an external drive may still be faster.
    Although there are many steps in the document, I'll summarize how it works.
    There is a folder called iTunes in your computer's user data Music folder.  By default, they are located here (for Windows)
    Win XP - \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Win 7 - \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
    If you are using the standard (default) iTunes settings, that is good, because ALL of your iTunes data is in that iTunes folder.  You are copying that complete iTunes folder to an external drive.
    On the new computer, after you install iTunes and run it at least once, it also has an iTunes folder.  From the external drive, (with iTunes NOT running) you are replacing that new iTunes folder with the existing iTunes folder from your old PC.  The next time you run iTunes on your new PC, it uses the iTunes folder from your old PC and iTunes should look like it did on your old PC, with all the content.  Since it's the same iTunes library, the iPod should not need a "resync."
    When you read the long detailed procedure in the document, you can keep my summary in mind so that you "see the big picture."  If you are not using the default iTunes settings, the document covers what to do.  You can post back with any specific questions.

  • IPad Air connected to iTunes - freezes when selecting movies, podcasts, etc.

    New iPad Air connected to the latest update of iTunes, syncing just fine. When I select the iPad and then go to Summary - no problem, go to Apps - no problem, go to Podcasts - FREEZE. iTunes has to be shutdown using Task Manager and the iPad reconnected. The only sync settings areas I can look at are Summary, Apps, Books, Photos...any other sync setting area causes a FREEZE.
    I've tried re-installing iTunes, resetting my iPad, etc., etc., etc.
    Any helpful suggestions?

    So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
    I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
    Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

    I am looking for a simple app that runs on my Mac that allows me to create playlists of music, podcasts, and videos how I choose and have these playlist transfer to to my iPad and play.
    In other words iTunes 10 for the iPad!!

    Looking for recommendations for an app "that works like iTunes  (10) on the Mac 10.6) but runs on iPad. Ya know, create and use playlist with a mix of music, podcasts, and videos. Easy to create playlists, manage stuff, etc."
    If you every used iTunes, esp 10, but also 11, you can very easily create playlists " with a mix of music, podcasts, and videos." With those IOS 7 apps you recommend you cannot. If you try to do it with iTunes the playists do not make ot intact to iPad. I'm sorry you do not know that.
