Losing Music/Videos from iPod

Can someone help me??? Why am I losing only my downloaded iTunes songs and videos from my iPod?? I also have downloaded songs from my laptop computer library and from some CDs but none of those disappeared. I had to re-sync the songs and video again to my iPod...

Thanks for the reply. However, I purchased the 4 songs and the video (TV show-Family Guy) right from the iTunes store. All the other songs that I downloaded to my iPod from CDs and my laptop library were still there. I'm a new, first time owner of the famous iPod. So, this may sound a little dumb but how can the items that were purchased right from the store be rentals and have expiration dates?? Wouldn't my purchases be mine permanently until I decide to delete them??

Erasing Music & Videos From iPod

Is there a way to erase music, videos, photos, etc. that I have on my iPod?
I use a Mac if that helps.

No idea what you mean. All management of what is on your iPod is done using iTunes. Here are a couple of links will take you to instruction pages.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one? I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account) I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch. Now she has an ipad.

No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

You'll have to use iTunes on your computer or buy music using the iTunes app on your phone.
Check these articles for more info:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
iTunes on your MacBook can import music files or your CD's into the iTunes library. After that you can sync the content of the iTunes library on your Mac to your phone.

How do I delete music videos from my ipad?

I have itunes match.
I am trying to get rid of music videos from my ipad.
i have gone to settings > "itunes & app store" -> "show all", and turned off "videos".
I have gone to videos > music videos. There is no edit button, and holding the item doesn't give me wiggle mode.
I have gone to the ipad settings in itunes and unchecked every possible setting to remove everything from the ipad. the music videos still stay.
the music videos are still playing even if I put the device in airplane mode. so they are ON the ipad.
How can I get rid of them
(ios 8.2, ipad2, itunes 12.1, yosemite)

If the numbers appear to add up properly when you look in your settings as suggested by drsailer, the incorrect storage reading might be due to corruption on your iPad that will show as a very, very high "other" storage amount in iTunes. Unfortunately, you can only see this figure in the capacity bar of iTunes when your iPad is connected to your computer and with iTunes running and the iPad selected under devices.
"Other" includes things like email messages, text messages, notes, Safari Bookmarks, Safari History, contacts, cached app data, etc. it should not take up more than a few GB at most and if you see something higher than 6,7, or more GB of "other", something got corrupted. Sometimes that can be dosed by restoring form a backup, sometimes you have to restore as brand new and start all over again. There is a wealth of "what to do about 'other," information a available if you do some searching with Google. Here is a start for you.

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

Help Transfering Music Videos from Mac To PC

Hi everyone! We have a Mac and a PC at home, both with iTunes. I'm trying to transfer music videos from my Mac to the PC. Both computers are authorized. I'm copying the music videos to an external hard drive from the Mac. After connecting the drive to the PC I double click the music video and it loads into iTunes, however, when I try to play it I hear the music but the video image is totally distorted. This does not happen with music videos purchased after the iTunes 7 upgrade. Those transfer well. It only happens to the older iTunes music videos. Is this normal? Should this be happening? If so, is there a way of converting the older videos so they play in iTunes 7 for PC?

Help! I can't transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad.

Help! I cannot transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad. I simply want to transfer individual music videos from my Mac, but my iPad will not allow it. As soon as I check the box that says 'include music videos' my ipad says that I do not have enough space, which would be true if I wished to transfer all my videos. However, I only wish to transfer a few, something that I have done many times before. I then unchecked the 'include music videos' box, and of course, I could not transfer a single video, despite having plenty of free space. Please help!

Wendy-
All of my digital cameras seem to work OK with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I've read several similar reports here. One thing to consider is whether your camera's battery is fully charged. I doubt it matters, but might explain if it works sometimes and not others.
I suggest you use a camera card-to-USB adapter to do the transfers. I've tried several that worked. The ones that drew too much current were the "universal" types that have several different card slots. A camera store should carry an adapter, and may let you try it. The ones I tried that draw too much current, were bad even without a card connected.

Can't dowload music video from iTunes

Hoping someone can help me.
I tried downloading a music video from iTunes. I purchased the video, it started downloading and right at the end I got the following message and iTunes just shut down.
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."
An option to send an error report was also given.
There is no record that I purchased the video, but yet when I tried to buy the music video again, i got a message saying that had I already purchased it, but i can't find it anywhere in iTunes or in any of my folders in my computer.
Hope someone can help me out!

Hmm. It should.
Here's the main Download support page. There is a form at the bottom if nothing there helps. It may take a while to get a response. Some weeks they get absolutely swamped.

I have iTunes and am downloading Music videos from YouTube for use on my iPad! They play great on my iPad, But when I play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire machine gun??? Can anybody help me

I have iTunes and I am downloading Music Videos from YouYube to be used on my iPad! After I download them using YTD Video downloader they play great on my iPad... However when I try to play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire Machine Gun! Can anybody help???

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.
