ITunes music or podcasts won't load

I can't download my iTunes content.
It shows up in iTunes but will not load into my iPod.

Hi John,
I have the same trouble. So I did a lot of stuff: deleting re-installing iTunes, deleting SC Info repertory, creating another administrator account, creating another iTunes account (to try to buy songs) ... and all of these hasn't fixed the problem:
I can open a session, but
- I can't buy new songs
- I can't "autorized" iTunes on my computer
- I can't read anylonger my very old DRM files (Fairplay2).
Any suggestions or help?
Thanks in advance.

any advice?

3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD.
Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
I think this is possibly linear. Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't. I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size. If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options. You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

Podcasts Won't Load - I've Registered 15 Times - My iPod is Insane - Help!

I got a nano for Christmas and it's beautiful and I love it...but it appears to be every bit as insane as the shuffle it replaced and I need some help.
Whenever I plug it in it makes me register. I've registered many many times now.
I managed to load three episodes of several different podcasts (Democracy Now!, e.g.) and now that's all I get. Any attempts to sync or (in the manual mode) drag and drop new episodes are completely useless. How do I get new episodes of podcasts onto my nano?
I also have a problem where I've dragged over some video podcasts of Democracy Now! After the "drag" I got a message saying that my nano was syncing and that I shouldn't disconnect and then I watched for several seconds as the progress bar tracked the loading of the video. When I later disconnected and went looking for the videos, they don't appear anywhere. They're not under podcasts, music, movies, videos, etc. I've looked through every menu option. They're completely missing in action. When I tried to drag them onto the iPod again they simply won't load. It does nothing. I drag, drop, and that's it...done...no syncing, no anything.
Is my nano broken, or is one of us insane (I'm pretty sure it's the nano, but...)
Thanks in advance to anyone clever and patient enough to help me out.

I am in a similar boat and can't seem to find an answer searching through discussions. About 3 months ago one of my podcasts NPR: This American Life started acting all strange on my iPod. I had it all set correctly and worked fine for nearly a year. Then the podcast episodes wouldn't automatically load onto my video iPod. They are not in my Podcast section on the iPod. On iTunes it works fine - no problems. When I try to transfer the podcasts over manually in their NPR: TML folder it shows it transferring but when I disconnect they are not there. If anyone knows or has an idea please post. I have made a Playlist for this podcast but episodes mysteriously disappear after a week or so with no consistency. Weird! Thanks.

Itunes for windows 7 won't load?? Please Help

I've tried loading iTunes after restarts and re-installations but for some reason it won't load. I've never had this problem before and can't seem to solve it.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

FIXED IT!!!
None of these suggestions worked for me. I've started fresh by re-installing iTunes and then holding the shift button whilst loading it. This enables you to pick a new library and from this, it works!!
A bit of a faf because now i have to get all the info off my phone and in to iTunes but at least it opens now!!
Boom! ha, I came for help from the apple geeks and it turns out I'm the geek!!

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.

IPhone 4 music and podcasts won't play

my iPhone 4 is having a problem with sound.
I use the Alarm Clock app and recently the speakers on my phone won't work so I can't hear my alarm. Coincedentally (?) when this happens I cannot play music or podcasts from their apps as well. The play button just flashes and nothing else happens.
The only fix seems to be to turn the phone off and back on.
Is this an iOS problem?

Since turning the phone off and back on solves the problem I guess it's a software matter.
Try a reset (hold sleep / wake and menu until the phone restarts) and see if it fixes.
Eventually you can try a software restore. If the problem persists it would be worth to go to an Apple Store or contact Apple Care.

ITunes and app store won't load on my ipad?

I am having trouble with iTunes and the app store not loading on my iPad. Any suggestions

iTunes and the iTS are under the 'Music' icon on the iPad.
The App Store is a default program and should be present. Have you updated to iOS 5.1.1?

ITunes and app store won't load on phone

The app store and iTunes won't load on my iPhone. The screen just flashes something I can't make out the stays white. When I try to log on to the app store via settings it won't log me in. I am getting updates for a bunch of apps but can't update them. Please someone help

Well it seems that my app store is working again. iTunes is letting me search but when I try and make a purchase it says "Cannot connect with iTunes" and shuts down. It seems there is a known problem?

ITunes Music Folder Issue: Won't Read External Folder?

Hi There. Just bought a new Mac Mini and installed a time machine backup on to it to mirror it with my latest laptop settings. So far, everything has been breezy, except for iTunes. I have an external drive with about 200GB of music/movies that I want to use with the Mini. When in advanced iTunes preferences, I change the iTunes Music Folder location to that of the external drive and click "Change".
I get no errors or anything, then iTunes tells me it is updating the library, but it is still the same old (internal) library. For the life of me, I cannot get it to change it to see my external. Any advice? I thought it might be an XML issue, so I moved the XML file but it didn't change anything. Is the "Add to Library" option my next best bet? I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't actually add the files to my internal hard drive and keeps all of the items sorted correctly. Is the last case scenario to reset iTunes? How would one do that? Any advice appreciated!

When in advanced iTunes preferences, I change the iTunes Music Folder location to that of the external drive and click "Change".
Okay. iTunes will use that folder for everything in the future. Anything added to iTunes will put into that folder if you have *Copy to iTunes music folder when adding to library* ticked.
If there is any previous items in iTunes, it will continue to look for them where they were.
I thought it might be an XML issue, so I moved the XML file but it didn't change anything.
The .xml is generated by iTunes simply for other applications. iTunes does not use it at all.
Is the "Add to Library" option my next best bet?
It's the only option since this is how you add files to iTunes (along with Import when RIPping from CD).
If you want to have the items in the new location in iTunes, you need to File -> Add to library and select the location on the external.
I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't actually add the files to my internal hard drive
See 1st comment in this response.
and keeps all of the items sorted correctly
Depends.
The sort in iTunes is whaichever column you are selected on.
If you are talking about the "sort" in the Finder/on the HD, then iTunes sorts by Artist/Album/Song name. If you do not want this, you need to to uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library* and uncheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.

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.

ITunes 11: Newest podcasts won't sync with iPhone?

I have an iPhone 5 - I abandoned the Podcasts app in favor of just syncing my podcasts through iTunes and listening to them in the Music app.
But since the iTunes update last night, I haven't been able to sync the newest downloads of my podcasts (my settings are to automatically sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts and delete them from my device once they've been played, upon the next sync.)
I tried the usual re-set, restart of both iTunes and my iPhone. I've even selected a new podcast, and old unplayed episodes of it sync perfectly fine. But there are two or three podcasts that won't sync their newest episodes with my device.
Has anyone else run into this?

I had this issue as well. After trying various things, here's what I did to solve the problem:
- rebooted both the computer and the iPhone (not sure if this is necessary or not)
- turned off syncing of the affected podcasts (in iTunes, click on the device, then click the "Podcasts" tab at the top and then in the Podcasts list I unchecked the specific podcasts that were not syncing
- sync the iPhone (by pressing the Sync button at the bottom right of the iTunes window)
- turned syncing of the affected podcasts back on
- sync the iPhone again
Hope this helps.

ITunes version 9 - store won't load properly =/

I went on iTunes today & updated it to the 9.0 version (& I have noticed everyone seems to be having a problem with this new version lol) & now I cannot sign in to download any music off the itunes store. Whenever I try to either redeem a voucher or sign in I get two different error codes -1202 & -9812 (the first error code when I try to redeem a voucher, the second when I try to sign in.)
Any help would be great =]
Thank you very much in advance =]

I am so frustrated. Someone please save us from iTunes 9. I paid for Ipod Touch software upgrade but can't get it because my iTunes store won't open. Before downloading the new version of iTunes I was good, now I'm depressed. None of the suggested troubleshooting worked. I even removed the program and reinstalled. Didn't work. Please help!!!

ITunes app opens but won't load content (except Genius)

I can open iTunes but nothing will load. I can scroll through all the tabs (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Search etc.) but Genius is the only tab that will load anything. I've tried searching for things with no luck.
The App Store works just fine though.
I've tried rebooting and signing in/out of iTunes. Before I restore I wanted to ask if anyone has come across this before and what they did to fix it.
Cheers.

Podcast won't load

I apologize if this has already been addressed, I couldn't find anything.
I have created a podcast at:
http://www.thecreationshop.com/category/blog
and built my first enhanced podcast with GarageBand. I believe I have done everything right because the m4a file plays fine in iTunes but when someone subscribes to the podcast, the file downloads and then disappears. It's as if it never downloaded at all. When I click on the "!" I get the iTunes can't play the file or it is corrupt. I know that isn't the case. I have uploaded the file several times as well as downloaded it directly from:
http://www.thecreationshop.com/podcast/Blogging101.m4a
and nothing!! I know I'm a newbie, but it shouldn't be this hard, should it? I can only believe I must have dome something wrong. Please help!
In advance... Thank You!!
Brent

BrentSpore,
Welcome to Discussions,
I don't have a solution for your problem, but did you take a look in the Producing Podcasts forum?
Posting there will probably give you an accurate answer or you might find one by searching the that forum.
