There could be problems with the iPod's file structures so it might pay to check it for errors. Try putting the iPod in disk mode thus; hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Close iTunes if it's open. Once in disk mode connect to your computer, then browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of successfully transfering files.

After upgrading/syncing all movies and music are hidden

on my ipad. Anybody having this problem? With ipad connected to Mac, I clicked on down arrow in left pane (in itunes) and played music and then movie, then ejected the ipad. I looked on ipad - Music/Movies still hidden. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I tried the classic restorer version 1.2.0beta1 and here are my results. In the first picture, you can now see the full tab, but the icons at the upper right (to minimize the browser window, to maximize the browser window, and to close the browser window) have all disappeared. In the second window, I used the default view and the above icons are back, however the tabs are decimated.
I normally use TabMixPlus but turned it off for these tests.
THIS JUST IN..... I think I've solved it!
Use the latest Classic Theme Restorer (the beta above) and set the following:
- Set tabsontop=FALSE
- UNCHECK tabsontitlebar

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
These are the terms of the itunes store.

I have bought some movies and the don't sync to my iPod touch it comes up with this message that says it cannot be played on my iPod. Please can someone help

I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
Does anyone know what is wrong?

Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

I have a first generation apple tv synced to a itunes library on an external USB drive. Movies and Music Won't Play

Here's my setup. First Generation Apple TV. G4 Powermac running OS X 10.5.8 iTunes 10 with the Library stored on an External 3 Terabyte USB 2 drive. It's plugged into a PCI USB 2 card. Everything worked fine till I transferred my iTunes library to the external USB drive. Things seem to sync up fine. I have it set to copy TV shows to the Apple TV's internal drive and that seems to work but when I try to play music or movies that are streaming from the library, I get an error. With movies I get the "The selected video cannot be played. The format was not recognized." error. The movie and music list seems up to date but now it won't play. Did I waste my money on this external drive? How do I get this setup to work?

I don't think this will be a complete answer to your question, but may point you in the right direction.
I have a similar setup (same OS X and iTunes versions), but my library is on a network attached 2TB harddrive (vs a USB 2 drive). Mine works fine, both syncing (which you don't have a problem with) and streaming. It's possible that iTunes doesn't like the USB 2 drive, but I don't know. Are you able to watch TV shows on your PowerMac after having moved the files to the USB drive? If you can watch content on your laptop but not on your AppleTV, it suggests the Apple TV doesn't like the USB drive.
Perhaps you didn't transfer iTunes library content correctly. (Forgive me if I'm telling you things you already know.) The iTunes library consists of a list of content and it's location (local harddrive, network drive, etc.). If you simply moved the files, but didn't actually update the library with the new locations, this can explain why you can't stream the content. The Apple TV displays what is in the library, but cannot play it if the library entry is pointing to the wrong location. Note: This "library update" I'm referring to is not the same as simply changing the iTunes media folder location in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced.
When I moved my content to an external drive, I had to delete everything in my iTunes Library, then re-import everything (File > Add to library). Don't let the phrase "delete everything in my iTunes library" freak you out. Deleting entries in the library is not the same as deleting the files (which you definitely do NOT want to do).
If you select an item in your iTunes library and press the Delete button, it asks for confirmation thus:
Are you sure you want to delete the selected TV show from your iTunes library?
It's OK to answer "Delete TV Show". It will then ask you if you want to delete the file. Do NOT delete the file. You can select your entire library and delete everything at once, just make sure you do NOT delete the files when it asks. When that is done, make sure the iTunes Media Folder Location is set to where you want and that the files are there. Then, go to File, Add to Library and re-import everything. It will take several minutes to more than an hour, depending on the speed of your computer and the size of your library.
I have had to do this everytime I've moved my library to different storage devices. If there is a simpler way, I am not aware of it.
I hope this helps.

Can stream movies and music, but have to sync photos?

I can stream movies and music without taking up space on the AppleTV. I can't seem to figure out how to stream my photo library instead of sync it. Is that possible? Or must I sync the photo library to be able to browse it the AppleTV?

a brody,
Per knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305139, photos must be synced and cannot be streamed.
Regards,
Chris

A question before buy movie and music, please help.

Hi, I've just created itunes account and planing to buy some music and movie.
But I've got my worries so before I buy I want to make sure. I'm sorry if someone has already ask them.
1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
Thank you for your response

1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
Yes you can. You just CANNOT sync with iTunes. You can either use Windows Media Player to sync OR manually drag and drop into your phone. I strongly recommend letting Windows Media Player sync it to your phone, it will convert the music format compatible for a Nokia.
2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
If Media Player Classic supports the proper format for iTunes movies, yes you can. You don't have to use iTunes to watch the movie, after downloading iTunes, it also downloads Quicktime Player of which you can use to watch iTunes movies.
3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
You can use a harddisk, USB flash drive, any iDevice to hold all you music and videos. As long as you have enough memory on any of the devices I told.
Hope all this info. helps. Good luck.

Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Loosing Sync Purchased Movies and TV Shows (ATV 2.4 & iTunes 8.2.1 )

Had my 160gb ATV for about 6 months now with now problems. Have my entire audio library synced, movies, tv, shows etc. All my music is DRM free. All my TV shows are purchased from Apple. My movies are a mixture of ones purchased from apple and some of my converted DVD's via handbrake. Music videos from apple.
Within the last day, my ATV isn't showing all my movie and tv shows I've purchased.
About 2 weeks ago, my ATV upgraded to 2.4 (I do have the latest Boxee running on it). And earlier this week, I upgraded my PC with iTunes to 8.2.1.
Now shows just started disappearing from the ATV.
I "disconnected" my ATV from my PC with iTunes (of course I rebooted both my PC (WinXP) and ATV).
Next I reconnected my ATV to my PC with my iTunes libaray. It is going through a long resynch process.
But it still looks like it is only resynching certain items. Music all look OK (all drm free). Music videos moving over. Only some movies and no TV shows (again).
One thing I noticed is that all none DRM items seem to be resynching. Also DRM items that have Fairplay 2 seem to be resynching. But anything that has fairplay 3 doesn't seem to be moving to the ATV.
I just purchased season 2 of burn notice. It downloads to my PC OK, but none of these new shows are syncing to the ATV either.
Could it be something with particular versions of fairplay?
Any other suggestions?
This is killing me, as I was trying to catch up on some TV shows this summer.
Thanks
Greg

Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

How do you move movies and music to ipad mini ios 7 from linux computer?

I hope that someone can please help. I have two children, ages six and 10. They previously used nabis but I've bought them both ipad minis. They would like to put their movies and music on them. They would like to be able to watch movies when we take a long car ride, etc. They have wifi versions and no 4g so they would be away from an internet connection. They have movies ripped from dvds they own, and music from ripped disney cds. They do not have a working portable dvd player anymore as it has been a long time since they needed one. They have a "boom box" style cd player but not handy for a car. The thing is, they both want to do different things in the back seat.
I only have linux (kubuntu 13.10) on our laptops and desktops.
I know that there are only a few file formats that the ipad can read for music and movies, but converting those isn't a problem.
I tried buying a "dongle" for a micro sd card, but that didn't work. At least I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The ipad would never recognize it.
Everything on the web said to just use the music software on the linux pc, such as Banshee, etc. But when I plug in the ipad mini to the computer I get a loop of "trust this computer?" that just keeps happening. I see that is a common thing now.
I tried installing itunes in a virtual drive on my laptop, but I could never get it to work. I progressed back through several versions of itunes and tried using PlayOn linux but it never worked.
I have never used itunes so I don't really know how it works. Is there anyway to upload to it through a web browser or something like that?
I tried an ap for the ipad called "file master." WIth that, I could send mp3 and movie files to the ipad through a web browswer based connection on wifi. The ipad could open the music and movie inside that ap, but could not see it through the music or video player aps, those said that itunes was empty. The problem with this is that it crashes. It will play a few seconds of a song and crash to the home screen. Some songs it plays OK, others it crashes as soon as you click. This isn't going to work well for kids in the back seat.
In the "file master" ap I can see folders for things like "music" and "downloads," and I can move files around in those directories, but the built in music and video aps never see the files.
I tried drop box. That works OK. Again, music will play inside the drop box ap, but the ipad doesn't "see" the music in the music ap. The problem here is that I only have about 3 gigs worth of drop box space, and I bought my son as 64 gig ipad mini. I'd like to be able for him to use that space. So this is limited by the space of the drop box account. So not a great solution. But at least a partial solution.
I can't find an ipad ap for ubuntu one.
I tried icloud, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to upload files to it from the pc.
There is something called "icloud match" that is $25. I get the impression that this looks at the songs you have ripped from your own cds and matches those to the itunes store and lets you download from there. Would this work? I'm kind of grumpy about the idea of paying $25 to see if it will let me move my own files to my own tablet.
I've tried several other aps from the ap store that were music players, but they all seem to be looking for itunes. I could not get any to find an mp3 file that I moved to the ipad through the "file master" ap.
So, I can't get itunes to work, and I can't get the ipad to connect to a computer.
Surely there has to be some way to do something as simple as move a file to a tablet. I'm afraid there must be some simple answer that I'm just overlooking so I've come to beg for help.
Thank you.

Just in case anyone in a similar situation finds this by google or something in the future.
I found a work around.
I think that my troubles with the file master ap were probably from mp3's that got corrupted in the transfer.
I went back and tried it again and it has been working flawlessly to transfer music and movies.
It is a free ap from the ap store.
When you open it, it gives a url for the ipad that you open in a web browser and just upload the files you want moved.
You just watch the video or listen to the music from the file master ap itself. It doesn't integrate it into the stock aps.
The up-side is that you don't have to worry about the limitations on video files, it plays multiple video formats.
The downside is that it is transferring the files through wifi so it is as slow as Christmas.
But it isn't a problem really just to send a batch of files over. Just be patient.
So a usb connection would be much faster and preferable, but this works.

My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

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 all music and resync
- 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.

How Do I Back Up Movies And Music I Download?

I usually will download Movies and Music onto my Mac and then sync it up with my iPad and iPod. How do I make sure all my Movies and Music are backed-up from my Mac? Does Time Machine back this stuff up? Thanks!

Yes, Time Machine will back this up to an external drive. You can also copy your iTunes folder to an external drive to back it up.

Movies and music vanished from iPhone 3Gs

Hello! I discovered today that mysteriously, all of my movies and music vanished from my iPhone 3Gs. I have not recently synced my phone or updated the software. My iMac is currently on a FedEx truck being shipped out west for a month long vacation so syncing is not an option. Also, when I try to download new stuff from iTunes, the phone tells me there's not enough space when there is plenty since all my music and movies are gone. I called Apple and essentially, I was told that they couldn't help me at this time. Has anyone else had this happen? It's incredibly frustrating as I was planning to watch movies on the plane

Apparently, data or metadata is corrupted on your phone. Assuming that your phone was never jailbroken or hacked, the solution is to restore in iTunes using your most recent good backup, but without your computer that's not an option. Simply syncing with it probably won't work for the same reason you can't download, and risks replacing a previous good backup with corrupted data.
You can try resetting, but I'm not optimistic - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
