Itunes wont sync songs to ipod - didnt have this problem when i had xp

this is the message i get -
Attempting to copy to the disk 'RYAN'S IPOD' failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation
iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again.
i keep getting this after i go and check the permissions and make sure everything is the way it should be... i didnt have this problem before upgrading to vista

I'm not sure if this will do anything, but maybe you could find the iTunes Music folder, right click - properties, and unchecked read only if it's checked.

    im trying to put some songs on an ipod shuffle but it just doesnt seem to sync songs the green light stays on all the time when i sync its ment to be orange and flashing each time i remove it and try see if songs are on its empty whats going on can anyone help?

    It might be worth checking for a Windows Drive letter confusion on the PC. See:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

    Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

  • I just added two external firewire drives and they keep going to sleep.  I did not have this problem when USB.  I have turned off "put disks to sleep" in power preference.

    I just added two external firewire drives and they keep going to sleep.  I did not have this problem when using USB external drives.  I have turned off "put disks to sleep" in power preference.

    It is not clear if these are the same drives, just connected
    differently, or different drives?
    One thing that may be happening is that the drives firmware
    itself is putting it to sleep when inactive.  Many drives on
    the market have ths feature and it is turned on by default
    and require a drive utility from the manufacturer to disable it.

  • Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

    My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists.  She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2.  The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes.  When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked.  I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to  the ipod touch.  It said:
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
         Waiting for sync to start
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
         Preparing to sync
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
       Waiting for changes to be applied
       Preparing to copy items
    Then nothing.  I can sync again but it just does the same thing.  One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by.  I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said.  The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch.  She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them.  The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work.  I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated.  Still no copy.  She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
    Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo.  Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

    What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Itunes wont sync music to ipod

    i had an itunes library created and then we reformated the hardrive and had to re-install itunes and all my music was gone. i got some more music but every time i try to sync it to my ipod it says that ive got to "erase and sync library" because you cant have more than one library per device.. does anyone know how to fix this problem without erasing my entire ipod so i can keep everything on there and get my new music synced?

    It's becuase the old itunes database file got erased when your PC got wiped.

  • My itunes wont sync songs from a differenet apple id

    My friend put some songs and games on my sons ipod and now when I try to back them up on his itunes, they dont show up. 
    I assume this is because they are from her itunes account.  She gave me her login/password to use on the itunes to see if that would back them up, but I'm worried this might mess something up.

    You need to rip/import songs from CDs into iTunes. I am not sure what you meant by "sync CDs to itunes" but you do not sync CDs with iTunes. Please follow the below steps to transfer mucis from CDs to iPhone 3GS -
    If the songs are already transfered in itunes and you can listen to them when the CD is not in the CD drive, you can skip to "Transfering Music to 3GS".
    Importing Songs
    1. Insert the CD into iTunes.
    2. iTunes will show the CD in the left side panel under Devices. It will also try to recognize the CD if connected to the Internet. If it is a commercial CD, then iTunes will recognize the tracks and fill them up. Otherwise, you will get Track 1, Track 2, etc. You can also manually enter the CD data if iTunes fails to do so. Click on the CD Name on the right left side pan and click on Track 1 and select Get Info. Then enter the Title, Artist Album etc. Click on next when done Track 1 and do so for Track 2.
    3. When all information is entered, click on the Import Setting button on the lower right side. Choose either AAC or mp3 encoder. Choose a Setting -  I chosen Custom and the highest possible quality. You need to choose based on available disk space.
    4. then Click Import. iTunes will import the songs in his library.
    Transfering Music to 3GS
    5. Then attach your 3GS to the computer using the USB cable. the 3GS will be shown in the devices section. Click on it and choose Music from the menu on the top section. Make sure Sync Music is checked. Now check the songs/artists you like to transfer to your 3GS.
    6. Click Sync.
    And that's it. Your songs will be transfered to your iPhone 3GS.
    It's a long post but frankly, the steps are very intutive and natural.

  • ITunes wont sync pics to ipod!

    For some reason, my iTunes will no longer sync pictures from iPhoto to my iPod Touch 1. gen.
    I tell it to sync the five last photo albums, but during sync I get a error message saying that the archives I'm trying to synchronize do not exist (well, it says something like that, in Danish).
    I can only get it to sync my last photoalbum - anything more than that and I get the error message...
    Any ideas regarding a possible cause/solution to this problem?
    thanks

    I can sync from finder folders, no problem...

  • My iTunes wont sync with my iPod classic

    "posted in iTunes discussion as well as im not sure if its a problem with iTunes or my iPod*
    A few days ago my iTunes wiped my whole library except my purchases from the iTunes store.
    Luckily i was able to recover my library by using a old library file but ever since then i've not been able to sync my iPod
    When i connect my iPod the iTunes and anything else that is running on my computer goes real slow and i've tried reinstalling iTuns and restoring my iPod but it's still happening.
    When my iPod comes up on iTunes after a while it says "can't be synced.the required folder cannot be found".
    it's also coming up with "attempting to copy to the disk IPOD Ipo" failed.this disk could not be read from or written to."
    any ideas how to fix this?

    still having this problem,any help please?
