Manually Managain music doesn't work.

After plugging my iPod nano in for the first time and using the sync features, i wasn't really satisifed with the level of control it gave me--either it let me import whole genres or artists. after looking over the user manual, i tried switiching the ipod over to the manual management mode. for a few minutes the ipod allowed me to drag and drop music into the ipod's music folder from my library. I added all the music i wanted and ejected/disconnected the iPod.
Now, when I reconnect my ipod to itunes, i can't add music to the folder--i drag music in my library over the ipod icon, but nothing happens (the green "+" indicator never shows up). It is also of note that i can delete any of the songs on my ipod manually, and the lists of music, movies, TV shows and podcasts aren't "grayed out" like they are when the ipod is in auto-sync mode. it just won't let me add more music.
My brother also got the same nano model and also uses the manual management feature, but has no issue with using it (he's on a white macbook running OSX 10.5.8--the same OS i'm using, although i'm on a powermac G5).
What can I do to restore my ability to drag-and-drop files to my iPod? has anyone else had this problem?
Looking at user manuals and troubleshooting guides has yeilded no answer. my problem seems, as of this point, to be unique.

i drag music in my library *over the ipod icon,* but nothing happens (the green "+" indicator never shows up).
Instead of dragging your music over the iPod icon, drag it to the word "Music" which should show under the iPod icon in iTunes side panel.

Then it's time to take advantage of your 90 days of free phone iPod tech support from Apple before you loose it unless you Apple Care. U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
c'mon, guys...
The 5th generation is 3 months old. There will be some issues that no one will know the solutions for. Then it's time to contact Apple Tech support. I hope you took advantage of iPod's Apple Care.

Manually managing my music doesn't work

since i installed the last version of itunes, if i set it to manually manage my music, it doesn't work. i try dragging the files over to the ipod, and itunes says it's updating the ipod. the progress bar goes to the end, but the files never get copied. if i disable it, then files in the library copy over fine.
what gives?

Hello, stashmore94.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Usually the reason for interrupted, stalled or canceled syncing alerts is a result of either security software interference or TCP/IP modifications. Also, non Apple cables and low powered USB hubs can cause this issue. Here are a couple resources that I would recommend going through as they may help resolve the issue.

Self-assigned or Manually Assigned IP Doesn't Work.

I've got a network of four Macs in my house, using a wireless router from Verizon. This network has been working fine for at least a year. For the last week, though, my MBP can't access the internet or see other computers. My router recognizes the MBP and the MBP shows full bars for the wireless signal, but other than that, nada. This is true whether it's a self-assigned IP or I manually create the IP (using the IP address that the router recognizes as the MBP).
The MBP hasn't left the house. The entire network set up has not changed.
I have tried:
- Manually setting the IP - worked briefly last night, but now doesn't work again.
- Resetting nvram - didn't work at all
- Power cycling computers and router in all possible permutations
- I may have tried other things that I'm not thinking of now
Any fixes or info on why this kind of thing happens would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes - manually manage music no longer works

So I'm quite startled to find only a few topics about this without any resolution. Up until today after I upgraded to iTunes 11, I was always able to set my main itunes to manually manage music with my iphone and then go to ANY computer and add music to my iphone. NOW it wants to wipe my whole iphone library every time I try to apply the "manually manage music" option which would allow me to add music from any computer. I ask the community here - WHEN did this happen? Are we no longer allowed to do add music manually from any computer? WHATS the point of manually manage music (the whole point was that you didn't need to sync always with one comp)? I've tried wiping my iphone at two locations I often add music at with checking the manually manage music and everytime I wipe at one place then go to the other it wants to wipe again when I check the box to add music. I would really like to know if this is how it works now - meaning YOU NOW CAN ONLY ADD MUSIC TO YOUR IPHONE THROUGH ONE ITUNES LIBRARY. If so, I will be immediately uninstalling iTunes and finding alternatives. I appreciate any info or help. Thanks.

iPhone has traditionally only allowed manual management from a single library. Also once set up to sync, iDevices can only be switched to manual mode from the "home" library without iTunes wanting to erase the content. On any other library it will want to erase. Has your main library been rebuilt following a crash? This could lead to the symptoms you describe.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
Perhaps the reason you were able to add music from more than one computer in the past is that you had done something similar by accident rather than design...

Wireless Music doesn't work with new software

Hello-
I can't get my wireless music to work after I update the software to the latest version. The only one that will work is when I install it from the CD. But, I would like to use the most recent version of the software. As soon as I update, the Media Server won't launch on my computer. I am using a linksys WRT54G wireless router. If I check DHCP clients, the wireless music receiver is successfully getting an IP address. I have tried all of the things that linksys suggested (disable WEP, firewall, broadcast SSID, etc...) to no avail. Has anyone gotten the latest media server software to work with WRT54G? I have tried it on both my XP and W2K machine, with the same results (doesn't work).
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Jeremy
I have the similar problem, I've installed the software on my desktop, no error messages (apart from the certificate) and everything seems to be fine. After about 2 minutes the message appears that the network is not ready and consequently the media server is not running.
Without the server running I can't setup the Network and the entire system is not working. I could ping it but that was about it.
I've reset my router, renamed the SSID, tried with and without WEP, MAC, without firewall, opened a new account on my desktop with admin rights installed the software again into a new folder - result still not working, same error message.
To make really bad, I installed it on my laptop, same procedure and it works fine! So it seem that it has nothing to do with my wireless devices or configurations, there must be a problem while setting up the software on my desktop.
I really would appreciate your help a lot!

Cheers

My Music doesn't work. Help?

I updated my iPhone 3GS and now it won't play some songs. It just skips them or just stays at 0. The music works fine on iTunes on my computer. How can I fix my problem?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync/redownload iTunes purchase
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
I do not know what "i have tried to change them but it still doesn't work," means

Music doesn't work the same since IOS5 upgrade

Before downloading the IOS 5 update, everything worked perfectly fine with my 4G iPod Touch. But after the update, when I would try to play music and go to select a song, my iPod will skip that song and start to play the next one. And if I try to go back to the previous song, it'll just skip back to the next one and play that instead. Or it may play fine at first, then skip over two or three songs before it starts to play music. I've noticed that at times it will even start to "play" a certain song, but it will actually be playing a different one. For example, the screen will show that the iPod is "playing" Adele and it'll have the album art and the song name displayed, but the actual music being played would be Drake or something. I've tried turning it off for a few minutes and turning it back on, but it didn't help. I've never had this problem before, it only just began today and I upgraded my software last night. Wondering if anyone else has a similar problem?

Same problem here, since upgrading to IOS-5. Whenever I try to shuffle or play a genius mix (or even simply play an album) the iPod will skip the first one or two songs, play one song and then 'crash'. I say 'crash' because it selects the next song and then nothing happens - the player isn't paused, and it appears to think it's playing, but the time bar doesn't change and no sounds come out. Occasionally I've noticed the album artwork is wrong too.
Rebooting does NOT work - I've tried it a number of times.
Is this just an iPod problem?? If so, I would be surprised if Apple do anything quickly about it - they're more worried about iPhone problems I expect, and we (iPod users) are just the poor relations... C'mon Apple - SORT IT OUT!!!!

Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

Hi !
OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
This question was solved.

HT4437 I'm using an ATV2 and an ipad successfully for with airplay. Now I added a brand new ipod touch to the setup. However, for some reason airplay for music doesn't work if my projector connected via HDMI2DVI connector is turned off.

If I turn on the projector it works fine. Interesting fact is, that this is exactly the same behavior that I have when playing videos from the iPad. Worth to mention is that the ATV2 is connected to the speakers via optical cabIe. Is there a setting that I'm missing? I can't imagine that Airplay for music from the iPod requires a turned on Video device connected to the ATV2. Thanks.

Hy Alley_Cat, that was the last bit on information that I wanted to add to the question. All devices say they are up to date. Which means that iPad and iPod run 5.0.1 and ATV 2 4.4.4(3330).

Manually Manage Podcasts doesn't work

I set my songs to update automatically, and my podcasts are set to "Manually manage podcasts." However, when I try to drag a podcast to the iPod icon (or the iPod>Podcasts icon), the file just bounces back and doesn't get transferred. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Incidentally, when I view the iPod's contents in iTunes, everything (podcasts and individual songs alike) appears grey, and are not clickable at all.

RELINKING IMAGES MANUALLY IN INDESIGN DOESN'T WORK

Hello,
Please help,
I am opening an Indesign CS3 EPS image file in Indesign CS4 which is made by combining 2 Clipping path images. The problem is: I am not ablt to use the images manually. however, automatic relink works fine. Although I don't know where that option is. I just want to use manual relink.
any suggestions??
thanks
Rachael

I've seen cases where this "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery" did not work at all.
Rare cases, but:
Always when the InDesign file is opened on a different computer and you are working on a network. And someone pulls the plug from that other computer (shutting it down, ignoring the messages that another machine is hooked)!
SO: I would never rely or bet on the otherwise fabulous feature "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery".
There is a startup script around in the web by Martin Fischer somewhere on the site hilfdirselbst.ch, that saves a copy of the actual file in a special folder every time you do a "save" or "cmd + s" adding a continous number to the auto saved file name.
