Itunes to Ipod "Sample rate" Transfer Problem

In trying to transfer music files from Itunes 10.1.1 to a Classic Ipod, I get the following message.
"(song name) was not copied because the sample rate is not supported by the iPod (ipod name)
ipod".
How do I fix this. I have 55 music files that were transferred to Itunes from large wave files recorded on a Sony digital recorder.
They transferred fine to Itunes and play great on the Mac pro but can't be transferred to the ipod because
of the sample rate.. I need them on the ipod.
How do I fix this?
Thanks for any advice.

Set your import settings (Preferences, General tab) to a suitable alternate format, e.g. 320kbps mp3 or Apple Lossless. Select the files in question, option-click on them and click *Create <format> version*.

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

ITunes to iPod (5th Gen) download problems

Problem encoutered: "Attempting to copy disk to iPod failed.The disk could not be read from or written to."
This is the messaged I've received in trying to download my current iTunes library to my new 5th Gen iPod.
I have found it I remove the last song that iTunes attempted to download to the iPod; the the downloading continues. BUT, it occured again with another totally different song.
What is going on here? Has this occured with any one else?
Lastly, I did call Apple. We did a restore and downloaded the lastest iPod software.

I posted this in another forum.
This may pertain to you as well.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! Anyone who has problems with their iPod freezing while syncing Listen Up.
I have successfully figured out what needs to be done in order to get your iPod syncing properly.
What you will need for this it another hard drive or computer (running OS X)
You can either set a hard drive (like one of the previous iPods with OS X installed on it) as the startup disk in System Preferences.
OR
There's another option for you if you have another Mac..
What you'll need to do is start the one you need to repair (that you sync your Pod from) in "target disk mode" which is done by restarting the computer and holding the "T" button.
This puts your computer into Firewire mode, and makes your computer an external hard drive for another computer to view.
You will also need a 6pin-6pin Firewire cord - to connect the 2 computers.
Once you have the main computer up as a disk image on your other desktop, open disk utility and click the Repair disk option.
I did this and it said the drive could not be repaired, and I ran it again and it fixed it the second time, so that might happen to you too.
I know this seems like a lot to do to get your computer working with your iPod, but it definitely works.
If you don't have another computer, and (as most of you seem to) have a portable like a powerbook or an ibook, just bring it to an apple store and I'm sure they'll gladly help."
Let me know if you have any questions....
Good Luck!

160 GB Ipod Classic - data transfer problems

Hi I have a 160 GB Ipod Classic that I have been using to transfer large amounts of data files back and forth between home and work. I had a PC laptop at home and originally had the Ipod formatted for PC, but recently bought a new Mac Book Pro and reformatted it to MAC. Now when I try to hook up to a PC at work it will not recognize the drive and wants to format it to PC.
Is there anyway around this? I could reformat it back to PC and still use it on the MAC, but I like to have it formatted to MAC so that software updates occur when I hook it up. I am trying to make the jump and live in Mac-Utopia...:)
Also, I now have the Itunes library transfered to the MAC
Any help out there would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Is there anyway around this?
Not without installing software such as HFSExplorer or MacDrive onto the PC.

ITunes 11 on Windows 8 transfer problem

Have followed Apple instructions on transferring to new PC. (Windows 8 Dell XPS; transferred via external drive.) Itunes files verified on new PC, but they will do not appear in the iTunes library. Only recently purchased selections from the Cloud appear in the library. How can I correct this problem?

Have you read this section?
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Often people don't have the library files on the external drive, just the media.
The important content to copy across is the iTunes Library.itl file from the main iTunes folder, not just the media. The playlists and everything else is in there. If you copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other placing inside the <User's Music> folder on the target machine, and install iTunes, it should work. Alternatively you can copy the iTunes folder to a different location, say D:\iTunes if you have a modern computer with a small SSD system drive and a larger HDD intended for your data.
If your library was split on the old system then the library files should work anywhere, but the media folder should be on the same path it had previously which might require that you change drive letters around.

Why can't I transfer 24 bit m4a files from iTunes to iPod?

Im trying to transfer, what was originally a FLAC and is now converted to m4a, to my ipod touch 5 in iTunes. It transferred to iTunes just fine, but when I drag the album up to the top right corner of the iTunes window where my iPod shows up when its plugged in, it just doesn't copy ANY of the files in the album. No error messege or anything, it simply just doesn't even transfer it.

iTunes is quite good at failing silently if it doesn't want to do what it is asked. It doesn't say so explicitly here - http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod-touch/specs.html - but I suspect that there might be a limitation to 16-bit audio on Apple's devices. Wrong, seems the issue is more likely to be the sample rate. See this old post.

HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

My iTunes says that there is a problem with my ipod and i have to restore it, but i bought songs on my itunes on my ipod not on the itunes on the computer so i have not transfered purchases and now it wont let me how doi restore without losingmy newsongs

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards john

Hello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

Sample rate external sync problem.

Hi Guys, learned a lot checking out your posts, etc.
Tried importing 8 tracks of audio digitally from my Roland Vs 2480 into Logic via a Delta R-Bus conduit. I've done this a few times in the past ( Cubase ).
Problem seems to be ( when using MTC from the VS as master and Logic as slave ) an intermittent sample rate speed-up slow-down occurs like an extremely bad wow and flutter.
Without using MTC there isn't any problem.
Because I need to transfer more than 10 tracks, drift between tracks is not an option, especially for recordings of live gigs.
Is this a problem for anyone else with a similar set up.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks to you all.

MTC is only half of it.
You need to have both machines with a common
wordclock.
Thanks !
Got any recomendations for an inexpensive w/clock generator ?
Best wishes,
Tony

Itunes 7 freezes after i transfer songs to ipod

ITunes 5.0 won't transfer purchased music to iPod

Hi, I just upgraded both my iPod and iTunes to 5.0. Now when I update my iPod iTunes says it can't transfer some of my music because my iPod software is "too old," and to go to apple.com and upgrade.
Now I have re-upgraded my iPod software several times with the same upgrade just in case there was a problem with the install. I have also reset my iPod to factory settings just in case that did something and I have restarted my computer plenty. Regardless, none of the music that I have purchased from iTunes gets transferred to my iPod, and iTunes still says my iPod needs to be upgraded.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I had a similar frustrating problem of my iPod losing its songs on it and not syncing any new purchased songs to it from iTunes. I do have a solution folks !
The solution that worked for me:
I trashed the newest iPod updater 2005-9-26 from my Utilities folder and then updated with the 2005-6-26 version 2.3 again that was already in the folder. I do still have iTunes 5 so seems like it's either a big problem with the newest iPod updater (2005-9-26) or the combination of the newest iPod updater with iTunes 5.
In short, for things to get working correctly on your iPod again ... get rid of the new and in with the old .......I'm happy now, try it !
And to think that Apple told me I had to pay $49.95 good for only 5 days of trouble shooting advice on this problem .... highway robbery !

Optical digital input (S/PDIF) problem (sampling rates)

I have a huge problem with my 2009 iMac's digital input that I didn't run into on my older MacBook running the same OS (10.6.x), and it's driving me nuts!
Basically, I'm trying to record a digital feed from an ADC hooked up between my hand-built tube amps/turntable and my iMac, with the goal being the transfer of some of my LP records to 48/24 LPCM for archiving and editing. The ADC's output rate is fixed at 48000Hz and cannot be changed. My iMac, however, refuses to lock on to the device rate, instead forcing 44.1kHz in the audio/midi setup. In fact, I can't get it to do anything but 44.1kHz on anything I plug in (even my DAC's passthrough) despite the fact that I need to use 48kHz. The audio is correct for a few seconds, then forces back to the wrong rate again. No matter how many times I try, the computer insists on using the wrong sampling rate, which has rendered impossible any hope of using my iMac as an audio recorder.
I've tried setting up an aggregate device, but to no avail. Nothing I do seems to work, and since the problem is with Core Audio, any program used to catch the audio records gibberish. Is there a way to force Core Audio to use 48kHz in the terminal? It's not like the computer can't do it, as I get about 2 or 3 seconds of correct audio when changing the sampling rate manually. I just can't get it to stick!

Seeing the exact same thing here. External digital source is 48kHz, and this Mac Pro Desktop will only stay on that setting very temporarily (for about .10 or .15 seconds) then it reverts back to 44.1kHz. Even if I don't have a signal or even a Toslink cable plugged in to the input.
(I'm surprised you are getting 2 or 3 seconds of correct audio, when I'm getting about 1/10th that before it reverts back to the wrong sample rate. Maybe related to a buffer size option somewhere?)
I have tried every known option to reset or re-configure this, and even to the point of creating a new user, resetting PRAM, resetting SMC, etc. I was going to try upgrading to 10.6, thinking maybe it was a 10.5.x problem, but now I'm not sure that will help.
Had I the choice to set the setting to be 48kHz and lock it in, it should stay on that setting - (even if the chance exists that what I'm getting is not correct.)
More often than not, I know what I'm doing more than Mac OS does, and I want to force it to do what it needs to.
There really needs to be a "do it because I told you so" option for most of the Mac audio configuration system. This automatic "the hardware decided to do something for you" stuff is absolutely horrid for a system that is marketed as "Pro". A real "Pro" system would let me edit the configuration once, with the tool (text editor hopefully) of my choice, rather than attempting (and failing) to automate things.
+1 for another instance of this being "a huge problem" and "it's driving me nuts!"
