Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

Problem with new ringtone purchased through iPhone 3GS

Hi,
I have an i-pod nano purchased 1 year ago & I have just got a new iPhone 3GS purchased last week. Everything has been great so far.
The problem is with a ringtone I purchased through iTunes on my iPhone. It was fine but when I synced the iPhone to my iTunes on my lap top it has stolen the ringtone & iTunes says that I do not have permission to put it back on my iPhone.
It's really annoying, can someone please assist at all?! Please.
Cheers,
H

I had the same problem.
1) Connect you iPhone so it shows in iTunes
2) Select the iPhone under devices
3) Click on the Ringtone tab
4) Check (tick) "Sync ringtones"
5) Clear "All ringtones" and check (tick) "Selected ringtones" - check (tick) each ringtone individually
6) Click the "Sync" button

Using Current iTunes Library With New Nano

My daughter's iPod Mini seems to have played it's last song and a new 2G Nano is on it's way. Is there anything that I need to do that may not be printed in the manual to transfer her current iTunes library on our PC to the new Nano? We run Windows XP. Should all of her Playlists transfer as well? Will there be any issue of these songs already being on her old (an now dead) iPod?
Thank you for your help!!
Nano Second Generation Windows XP Upgrading from Mini

Thank you very much for the information. I'm looking
forward to trying this when it comes this week.
While you're waiting, you might whet your appetite by reading the manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodnano_2nd_Gen_FeaturesGuide.pdf

Can someone help with new nano? song duration turned to dots??

i pressed something by mistake yesterday and now where the song duration/time usually is at the bottom there is just 5/6 dots?? can someone please help ?

Press the center button.
This will switch between volume, scrubber (position in song), rating, lyrics and artwork.
The 5 dots screen is a rating scale. Select this screen, roll the wheel to select 0-5 and press the center button to rate the song.
There is a problem sometimes with this though.
Don't press the button too quickly.

Have hardware problem with new nano 6th generation.

Just got it online few weeks ago and just opened it yesterday... It sounds buzzing... I tried another headphone, it still the same.. What's wrong with it?

Have you inserted the headphones fully into the jack? The white part of the headphone jack should be flush with the iPod's casing, none of the metal of the jack should be visible! Also, check that you haven't selected Radio in the display.

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS. I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple. Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
Wait a few hours and then try again.

I just bought a new computer and im having trouble with transferring my purchased songs to my iphone please help

im having trouble with tranferring my purchased songs to my iphone . The problem is that im using my house desktop windows computer because my laptop is broking and all my songs are mainly on that one . Right now im trying to see if i can tranfer my purchased songs from the desk top itunes to my iphone .Its not showing me options for my perdiciment please help!!.

Plug it in and sync it.
What is the issue?
It will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

I have a problem with a previous purchase and sign in is required. However, the card is no longer in use and so no money can be billed from it. I need to add a new card so that the money can be taken from that card instead. It's from a different country

I have an Australian card associated with itunes and the App Store. However, I am no longer in Australia and I wish to change my country of residence and card to the UK/English. When I try to change country, it says there's a problem with a previous purchase, meaning I have no money on the Australian card and therefore the previous purchase cannot be billed.
The only way I can pay for the previous purchase is by adding an English card but it won't let me do this.
Does this mean I have to somehow put money on the old Australian card to pay for the previous purchase? Or is there a way I can transfer the bill to an English new card?
Cheers guys
Arron

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I have an old itunes act with a lot of songs that i set up before i owned an iphone. now that i have an iphone i have a new act. my question is how do i get the songs from the old act onto my new iphone?

Hello brjdunn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You are able to change your Apple ID by following the instructions below. That way you will still have access to all of your previous purchases:

Error Message working with new Nano and iTunes

Unlock iTunes / get write permission

Wanted to upload some songs from my iTunes Library to new Nano.
Hooked it up, went through the promps, choose two playlists to load, and before we could say oops, we saw that it was infact loading the entire library. We had no way of stopping the process so we unplugged it.
Now when I try to open iTunes it I get an error message :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
I verified permissions and repaired them. No luck.
Help! Please!

i'm assuming the Error code HRESULT: 0x800763b3 means something and is the solution but where can i find the answer or am i going about this all wrong?
Yeah, this 0x800763b3 is a slightly unusual one. Normally with these, the iTunes install error code matches the error codes that people get on their Windows Update failures. But for the last two 0x800763b3s I've been involved in on an iTunes install (Liv and someone else), the 0x800763b3 on the iTunes install has been associated with an 0x8007000b on the Windows Update failures. (Liv's 643s were pretty much "generic" error message codes for Windows Update failures, which could mean anything. So that's why I/we went after the 0x8007000b, which has some Microsoft documentation on fixes.)
Doublechecking on other symptoms of your situation ... is your Windows Update not opening at all when you try to launch it?
If so, when you click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the "Programs and Features Control Panel" item, is the Windows Features dialog box empty? (No features are shown?)
(If we can't get the codes from the windows update failures, we might be able to make some progress if we can identify other symptoms that you're getting. I know some documentation for some of these codes that mentions the Windows Features thing as a possible additional symptom.)

will u please help me out?

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

Apple tv is giving me a meesage that says... There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and click Purchase History to resolve problem. I have gone to my purchase history but can't seem to fix this issue.

You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department at no charge using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.

When I log into my acc it ammediatly says there's a problem with my last purchase and to go to my purchase history to clear it. When I hit continue its suppose to take me to the history but it just loads then says cannot connect

the itunes says that it knows that there isan ipod there, but it doesnt recognize it. I have reset the ipod, restarted my computer, and reinstalled itunes.
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components (Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc ...) and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
