Manual transfer problems

Sometimes, when I'm clicking and dragging songs manually from i-tunes to the ipod, i get a "not allowed" symbol (circle with a diagonal line) as I move it over the ipod line, and it won't allow me to make the transfer. Almost all the other songs will allow it, but one or two songs won't. What's up with those particular songs that they won't allow the transfer?
I use Windows XP, for what it's worth.
Thanks.

If you are using the latest version of iTunes (5.0.1), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

My iTunes won't allow me to manually transfer my songs to my ipod

my iTunes won't allow me to manually transfer my songs to my ipod.
When I sync my music , it won't copy all of my songs. When I un-sync
my music, it removes all of my songs from my ipod. I never had this problem
with my older version of iTunes. Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a similar problem. After downloading a album from ITunes, i can not import to my gen 5 ipod. I get the message update your ipod but the update button is inactive and states ipod is upto date. What is going on?

Auto vs. manual transfer??

Hello all. I have read some posts about people having minor problems while using the automatic transfer feature for their iPod. Are there any major advantages/disadvantages for having is set to automatic? Right now I'm using manual transfer - am I missing out on anything? Thanks!
iPod Nano 4GB

First, make sure that your iPod is connected to your computer so you'll also have iPod preferences to play with, then open iTunes preferences:
Windows users—On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
Under the iPod pane, you can keep it set to automatic and select the "Only update checked songs" checkbox if you want iTunes to only copy songs that have a check mark next to them in the iTunes library song list pane or select Manually manage songs & playlists.

Can no longer manually transfer songs from my itunes to ipod

I use my ipod on many different computers and my main computer (the one at home) was just updated today to the newest version of itunes. I purchased a lot of music from the itunes music store, plugged my ipod in, and when i tried to drag the songs from my library to my ipod (which is what you do when you manually transfer), it wont let me put the songs on my ipod!
I am upset because i just spent like 50 bucks on songs and now my computer is not letting me transfer...does anyone know why it wouild be doing this?
Thanks
Lauren

I have the same issue. I have a first (or second) generation ipod w/ a scroll wheel. I unfortunately updated itunes to #5 this morning. Now I cannot manually transfer any itunes music store purchased songs from my itunes library to my ipod.
I wish I had an answer for this (except hindsight: never upgrade if everything works fine) because I am sooo aggravated right now. Please someone helpÉ

Okay: I just downloaded the latest ipod updater: rebooted my ipod after installing and rebooted itunes. Now I can transfer music from my itunes "purchased" to my ipod... Thanks all!!!!!!

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

I would like to manually transfer all my iMovie content from SL to LION. How do I do this manually?

HI!
I want to manually transfer all of my iMove data ( projects etc) from SL to LION.
What is the best way for me to do this?
Does the data need to be stored on an external drive so an OPTION / click OPEN is performed or is it emerly a matter of dragging and dropping a folder?
Thanks

Hi
or is it emerly a matter of dragging and dropping a folder?
NO - No No No
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this intoEvents.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

File transfer problem

I have a 2009 intel iMAC running 10.6.8. Several months ago it developed a file transfer problem. When transferring files to an external server via ethernet cable, most of the time it will only let me transfer one file at a time whether is a small word document or a large video file that is several gigabytes. Even with transferring just one file, the elapsed time bar will not indicate the file has completely transferred. It stays open and appears as if it is still trying to transfer even though the file size transferred is equal to the size of the file. Plus the only way I can close the the transfer bar is to relaunch finder. Then when I go to the folder it was transferring it to, the entire file will be there.
Suggestions?

Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
- power off/restart of every component in the system;
- changing the AEB to an open network mode;
- changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
- toggling IPv6 on/off;
- running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

Hi,
Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network
used by the virtual machines.

My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information?

My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information? I don't want to try syncing and backing up data to just lose it all. As the new one I plan to get is a newer model, I'm thinking it is just better to do it manually, but then I have the issue of syncing the new one to start.

Hello Smeebo,
Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like your iPhone is not recognzied in iTunes when you connect it to back it up, or update the device. I would try the troubleshooting in either of these 2 articles depending on what operating system you have:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
or:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How to manually transfer movie or music on iPad to computer

Hi,
If I buy a movie or music on my iPad, how do I manually transfer the movie or music to my computer? It seems I'm forced to sync, which results in me losing the purchased items on my iPad and then all the items on my computer are synced to my iPad. Can't I manually transfer items from iPad to computer, just like I can from computer to iPad? Thank you.

I have a similar question. I just synced and really have no idea what I did. Everything I paid for on my iPad2 is now in iTunes on my PC and also on my iPad2 except one movie.
One movie transferred to my PC but was apparently removed from my iPad.
What happened and how do I get it back on my iPad? If I download it again on my iPad2 will I have to pay for it again? I tried and it said "You already purchased this to you want to buy it again? The salesperson in the store said if I accidentally delete something I paid for I can go ahead and download it again, and I won't be charged. Can anyone verify this?
Also a podcast transferred over to my iPad which I want to delete. I don't see anywhere I can delete this.

Manual transfer of photos..deletes music?

I want to take photos from one computer that does not have my music on it but looking at the manual transfer instruction in 'photos' it says that itunes will first copy all the music in the library and then the photos. This seems nuts. That would effectively wipe all my music but install photos. Am I reading this wrong? If this is the case then this is not a true multi media device
