Itunes newbie needs help please :)

Hi,
I've just got a 30gb ipod and downloaded the new itunes.
Everything is great except I can add anything to itunes except music. I've used handbreak to make movies compatible (mpeg4), I've downloaded the sample movie from the apple website but everytime I drag the movies into the library nothing happens.
I've gone to file and added them to the library but there's just nothing, nothing moves, nothing is added. Music is fine but itunes won't let me add anything but music. What am I doing wrong?
I'm still new and was so excited about my first mac & ipod. Please help if you can, I'm getting really disheartened.
Thanks so much
Mel

PS... I don't know if this will also help but when I go into my itunes preferences there is no video preference like I've seen on sample sites. Is this a problem? How do I get a video section in my preferences.
Thanks

Hey Babetta94,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

Have a nice day,

Newbie needs help Please - mail problems

Help Needed Please.
First of all it started a couple of weeks ago i would enter my mail and receive a message saying that the IMAP server didnt reconise
my password even though i was entering it correctly. My email address i have kept when i chan ged from BT over to Virgin.
But we have had the imac 6 months now and its beeen performing brilliant.
Anyway like a idiot i tried to change settingxs and try different options, and now i have wiped my keychain (even tho got no idea what a keychain is)
and my email settings are messed up.
Didnt know if i should do a system restore??
Any Genius at there thanks in advance and im sure your all kringing with my lack of mac knowledge
this is the first Mac ive ever brought always been a windows
Mac's the way love it

Somewhere (hopefully) you will have a note of your email user name and password provided by your ISP. It should note the server addresses for ingoing and outgoing servers. If you haven't got these details they are likely available on the FAQs of your ISPs website.
Assuming you are using Apple's Mail app for email the route to adding/editing the relevant data is:
Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab. You then need to add/edit the data under the various tabs. Check that the SMTP server has all the correct details by clicking in the drop-down menu and selecting 'Edit SMTP server list'. Make sure the details are correctly entered.

Can't get anything to play in iTunes. Need help please.

I have had iTunes for over 2 years. I upgraded to 6.0.1 probably 2 months ago and have had no problems until last week. Since last week, I can open iTunes but none of my songs will play at all. If I press play or double click on a tune the name comes up in the box at the top/middle of the screen, but it won't play. It's not that it plays and I can't hear it - it just does not play at all. If I use the cursor to drag the little diamond to the middle of the song it still doesn't play.
I have a dell desktop, probably 4 years old (2400 model maybe?), and I use windows xp operating system.
Another issue that developed around the same time is I am not getting sound at all from real player or other players. I do get sound when I use my musicmatch jukebox.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just made a copy of my iTunes Music folder onto my desktop. Than deleted all my songs from my library, but not to the recycle bin. I left them in the folder but out of the library.
Than I re-imported them into my library.
so this guy from my local appleshop told me that ...
it doesn't solve my problem !!!
So, ok, maybe we have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it and then importing our copied music file again.
I'm gonna ask a friend ...

Newbie need help please

hi. i cannot seem to do anything on itunes u site manager. in itunes store i am logged in. cannot even upload a banner image. when i go to the web log in page on safari, it says ''incorrect login'' but i know it is correct, as it works fine in itunes store. is public manager web based? or in itunes u store in itunes? i am getting all the editing options in itunes u store and it says i am logged in but when i click ''edit page'' and even try to upload a banner it takes me to safari and says ''content not available'' or ''you are not logged in" ???
is it me and i am doing something wrong or is itunes u site manager all messed up in itunes 11 ???
thanks for any help/advice

Thanks for the response! Just a few questions to clarify...
Is this a new site? Have you received your activation confirmation from the iTunes U Team varifying your Apple ID and password as the Administrator?
When we originally launched our site in 2008, all editing was done through the iTunes Application. When it bacame available a couple of years ago, we migrated all of our content to the new Public Site Manager environment...and now all editing and uploading is done through Safari. Am I correct in understanding that when you go to the Public Site Manager log in, you can't access the your site using you Apple ID and password?

IMac won't boot after OSX Intel update crash - Newbie needs help please!

Hi,
at the weekend I updated OSX on my IMac 17 with an Intel update. An error message said that the update could not be installed and that the update was sent to the trash - a restart was requested. Since that shutdown my Mac chimes and gets stuck at the white load screen (hard drive is quiet).
I've tried the following:
Holding Shift key upon boot to initiate Safe Mode - No Joy!
Apple+S to run disk utlity/console - cannot initiate to cmd prompt!
Just as a little background - I'm a recent Apple convert and typical Windows defector. I've seen the light after many years in M**soft environments (I even trained to MCSE) but my Mac OS knowledge is considerably lacking. Let's be honest - so far I haven't had any problems.
Any gentle help would be most appreciated folks - I'm not sure where to start and I want my baby back!
Many thanks.

Same here. I have an iMac 20". It has been upgraded to Leopard and running fine since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. I downloaded the latest OS/X update (100+MB in size) but the installation failed. The system requested a reboot but it has not been able to ever since. It simply keeps beeping with a white screen. I put the Leopard DVD in, held the "C" key, but nothing works. Now I have a system that won't work. From now on, I will shy away from getting the latest update .... I am planning to take it to the apple store

Newbie Needs Help Please - VoIP and VPN

Hello,
I have a question about some voip/vpn configuration. I've got two sites that have 1760 routers with fxo/fxs cards that are going to be tieing the two phone systems together with a couple of voip trunks. These are secondary devices on the network with no data traffic or real LAN even, but addressed with a 2nd wan ip on the fa 0/0 port. The only traffic going through these routers is voice/voip.
My question is about this voip setup with vpn. First off, should I or shouldn't I, or even can I? If I configure a site-to-site vpn connection, will the voip traffic pass over that? How would I set up a VPN tunnel for only the fxo/fxs cards with no "LAN" behind it? Is there a need to have a vpn? Any benefits to sending the voip data across vpn, other than the obvious encryption of the "call"?
The thing is, I've only setup a VPN with Cisco a few couple of times, and once was from a pre-configured script I found and the other was from some software called SDM. I've only known about setting up VPN's for connecting the LAN behind router A to the LAN behind router B. This setup has NO LAN. The only interfaces are the fa 0/0 (getting static wan ip), and the fxo and fxs cards handling the voice. I have no clue on how to configure a site-to-site VPN for this, or if I even can, or if I should.
The next two replies will have my voip configuration as it sits on the bench in testing; I have both fa 0/0 interfaces connected to the local LAN just for a connection and testing, but each will later be getting it's own static WAN IP on the fa 0/0 interfaces:

Imac newbie needs help please...

Hi - first, I know 'nothing' about macs, but I know PC stuff pretty well. I'm asking this question for a friend who knows 'nothing' about computers at all. Here goes...
My friend inherited an imac. I haven't seen it, but someone told him it is an "original" Imac with OS7. He "thinks" it has a USB port, and it must have a dialup modem since the previous owner went online with it. I don't think it has an ethernet port (would a model this old come with ethernet?)
My friend lives in an area with free WiFi service.
His question is... can his Imac use this free service - and, if so, how can he do it? He asked a guy at a mac store and was told that he would need OS9 to use the free wifi. Is that true? Isn't there a way he could buy an external wireless modem and somehow get the wifi signal?
Sorry I don't know more about his mac - hopefully if you need more info I can get it from him - just lemme know what you need to know, and how he can find it.
Thanks,
Donk
Imac Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
All iMacs have at least 10/100BaseT Ethernet.
All iMacs have at least 2 USB(1.1) ports.
The earliest iMac shipped with OS 8.6.
The earliest iMac that had WiFi was the 400MHz model in around 1999. This model too shipped with a version of 8.6 although most iMac 400MHz shipped with OS 9. WiFi is certainly available in OS 9 but I'm unsure about OS 8.
All iMac CRT/G3 specs can be found here. This should give you a better idea what you're dealing with.
Your friend would also need either a USB/WiFi adaptor (this will be a pita as drivers that old will be difficult to find) or preferably a Ethernet/Wifi adaptor (aka Wireless Bridge); nil drivers required.
You don't need a modem to access a WiFi network.
WiFi on a Mac is called Airport.<p<p>So...
Get a copy of OS 9 here ($33 and then use the free updates here.
and a Wireless Bridge from any computer store.
These are old old computers now and getting them to play with modern kit can be a challenge. However their is a wealth of experience on these discussions so feel free to ask questions.

first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
