ITunes to iPhone - iPod movie dates inconsistent

I haven't noticed it until a few weeks into iPhone 4. Transferring videos to iPhone becomes out of date. On iTunes they are dated what they are (9/29/09) (7/30/10) (8/3/10). At first I thought it was EyeTV to iTunes causing issues, but the iTunes dates are correct. It's when they are transferred to iPhone they are misdated.
On the iPhone they are all dated 1/2. Some recordings were dated 1992 yet it's 2009/2010 recordings. I tried removing all backups. I have yet to do a full-on restore and see if this fixes the misdates.
Any clues on fixing it?

ITunes 5 looks for movie data when updating iPod...

I'm experiencing a very annoying problem in iTunes 5. When I plug in my iPod (4G) the songs are updated as they should, but then a message pops up saying something like this:
"Searching for movie data in movie archive "the name of the archive"
Then it says:
"The archive couldn't be found. Movie can't be played without the right archive"
And then you'll have to click "search" or "cancel". That is very annoying.
Why is iTunes suddenly searching for movies to play, when I'm updating my iPod?
How can I make it stop?

Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter. ^_^
P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

ITunes on iphone/ipod -- Artists no longer in Alphabetical Order(!)

Help!
I recently updated my itunes library on both my iphone and my ipad. I used seperate itunes libraries (hosted on the same Windows computer) in order to have a larger "master" library on my ipad since it has more memory. I did this via using the "depress the shift key while starting itunes" trick to select the library for each device. That all seems to have worked just fine - I got the library I wanted synced with each device.
Unfortunately, the alphabetical order of the Artists is only "mostly" correct. As an example, under J, I see:
Howlin' Wolf
Humble Pie
David Bromberg
J.J. Cale
James Brown
and the rest of the J's. Likewise, when I look at the K's, it starts off with J's and a few other seemingly random artists, before getting into the Ks.
How do I get the system to re-alphabetize my library???
Help!!!

Seems like a bug that I hope Apple can fix soon. Does anyone from Apple scan these boards?
Occasionally.
But it is much safer to send feedback using the feedback form, if you want the developer team to see your feedback.

Stream from iTunes to iPhone/iPod Touch

Is there a way to stream music from itunes on mac to iPod Touch.
My laptop is at another side of the room connected to the internet, so my headphones don't reach, whereas I have the iPod beside me. I would like to be able to listen to my iTunes library via streaming as
I only have a 8GB iPod Touch, and my Library is over 30GB in music alone (almost 100GB if you include apps, videos, etc).
Any Ideas?

ITunes backups iPhone/iPod to where on the computer

Where can I see that file that it backups the whole iPod?

Copy everything from yuor old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Why is the movie Date Night not available in the US store?

Date Night seems to be available in the Austrailia store (http://itunes.apple.com/au/movie/date-night/id370805508), but not the US store.

Please note that content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific because of Digital Rights Management and Copyright laws that depend on the country you are in and the country the content you want is registered under.
If you want content on the AU store, you will need to change your account's address and payment information to one that is valid in the AU store. Otherwise, You will need to wait until the studios give iTunes permission to release the movie.

How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

IPhone, iPod and iPad to MacBook sync without erasing data

I'm a happy owner of MacBook Pro now.
But I stuck with a problem of transfering my music, playliss, photos, apps and books from my iOS devises (iPhone, iPod and iPad).
I know that iTunes desined to avoid of syncing one devise with two or more computers to keep the copyrights. But I have many media I didn't purchased on iTunes, I had it from my CDs and DVDs. But I've got quite a situation that my old PC broke down and erased all its data. So I can't just sync my old laptop with the new one. So, how to copy files from my iOS devices to my Mac?
Please, help!

If you copied your iTunes library from your Mac to your PC per the instructions included with this link, any music that was purchased from the iTunes store with your iPhone was in your iTunes library on your Mac before being transferred to your PC and the same for any 3rd party apps downloaded/installed direct with your iPhone, and you have authorized the PC with your iTunes account with iTunes, no iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your PC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Not sure how restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup lost everything on your iPhone - with your iPhone being completely erased of all data unless there was a major problem with your iPhone's backup. No iTunes content on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup, and no photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are included with your iPhone's backup. All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and all photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
What isn't working correctly in regards to your MobileMe account exactly after which update?
With Windows, you can sync your MobileMe contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010. Do you have Outlook available on your PC and if so, have you downloaded the Windows MobileMe Control Panel to set up syncing Outlook with your MobileMe online calendar and address book?

Transferring iTunes/iPod Touch Data from One PC to Another

I have my iPod Touch synced to my Windows laptop. As I have a newer Windows PC, is it possible to transfer the entire iTunes library along with all the iPod Touch data onto my new PC without causing any problems when it comes to syncing my iPod Touch with the new PC?
Currently, if I plug my iPod into my new PC, it warms me that if I want to continue, my iPod will be wiped clean.

You can move your iTunes library from one PC to another from an external back up hard drive.
I don't know if there is a way to synch to your new computer without losing music and video off the Touch, I lost all that when I moved mine on to this new computer. I had all my library backed up to a hard drive anyway so was obviously able to put all of my library on to the new PC before synching the Touch.
I recall that before I synched I did transfer purchases from the touch to the PC as connecting did offer me the option to do that.
If you've not got a back up hard drive, I can't stress enough the importance of having one.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

Is there a way to transfer my iphone/ipod music to my itunes music library?

my 1st generation iphone was synced with my laptop. then my hard drive crashed. so now i have a new hard drive. in order to sync my iphone with this one, it says it will erase all my music. what can i do? i heard about the software senuti, but i cannot get it to work, and i am worried that if it unlocks my iphone, it may render it useless, or something worse. what can i do? can anybody help? apple tells me i cannot transfer the songs from my iphone/ipod into my itunes music library because some of them were not purchased from itunes. i understand business. it's about money and copyright rights, etc...yada, yada, yada. i just hate to lose my songs (625 of them). i have no backup for the songs. i learned a lesson. BACKUP your stuff!
<Edited by Moderator>

iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store ONLY.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Any content not purchased from the iTunes Store will be lost, which is why maintaining a backup of your iTunes library along with all other important data stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only is so important. The iPhone is not designed nor intended to be a backup device.
If your iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store was imported into your iTunes library from music CDs, dust them off and start importing them back into your iTunes library.
Using a 3rd party utility or application that provides for this but is not supported by Apple is your only other option.
