My i pod classic will only download a few songs
My i pod classic will only download a few song. Any ideas on what to do?
- If you go to the playing screen, is Repeat on? It is the racetrack icon on the left side of the screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon until it is white to turn repeat off.
- Next try unsyncing/resyncing the music.
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Playlist will only play a few songs then stop.
After upgrading to ITunes 7.0, my playlist will stop playing after a few songs. Ihave to Restart the playlist everytime. Inever had this problem with the previous versions of ITunes.. What can I do to have all the songs in my play list play without stopping?
I've had the same thing, definately seems like a small bug. Bizarrely with mine it only does it sometimes, but it seems that when it reaches the last song in the playlist (as in the one at the bottom) it treats that as if it is the last song to be played regardless of the shuffle feature.
Haven't managed to overcome it yet, but it's rarely a problem for me to just press play again

Will only sync a few songs and then says unable to sync
I have a very old ipod - no color, click wheel 20GB. Everytime I try to sync it gives me one of these 2 responses:
Attempting to copy to the disk "Kimberly's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
The iPod "Kimberly's iPod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
Generally it is followed by another message saying that _______ song cannot sync.
I have tried resetting it to the factory and starting all over again but it still will not work. Any suggestions out there?Hi,
In my long experience this is an issue that Apple has never fixed since first introducing iTunes Match. I have had lots of music that has the same play issues as you describe in your initial post, but I've never seen them fixed.
I did identify a strategy that gets around the problem (sort of, because it is not always 100% successful).
I noticed the issues never appeared to affect songs I purchased in iTunes, only songs I'd ripped from CD, especially songs I ripped from CD years ago, when I ripped a lot of songs in mp3 format at 96kbps. It didn't affect all 96kbps mp3s, just some of them. I used rippers like Music Match Jukebox, etc. It was only later that I started use iTunes for ripping. I'm guessing there is an incomptibility between other mp3 rippers and iTunes, but that is just an educated guess.
My strategy:
I re-ripped (using iTunes) all my low butrate mp3s to Apple's AAC Encoder, with it set to Apple's iTunes Plus recording standard. This is the same as you get when you buy songs from iTunes. That was part 1.
Part 2 was to remove the old mp3 versions from iTunes and iTunes Match, and then have iTunes Match work its magic to put the AAC (m4a) versions in iCloud.
As I said, this strategy has largely worked, except I have noticed at least one song I'd re-recorded to AAC version that went silent half way through after I downloaded it to my iPhone from iCloud.
I do wish Apple would just 'fess up about how to get the best out of iTunes Match, or, just fix it so it works properly.
I live in hope, but ain't going to hold my breath anymore.
Good Luck -
Help! my computer will only transfer a few songs...
to my ipod nano before this message appears.
"attempting to copy to the disk "ipod nano" failed.
the disk could not be read from or written to".
any idea what's happening? it only responds that way to certain selections.Hello,
So did you see my link about your error in my previous post?
In iTunes, if you go to "Preferences -> iPod", what setting are you on? If it is one of the "automatic" settings, then try (for now) changing that option to "manually manage music".
On this "manual" setting, the way to transfer music onto your iPod is to select the certain songs in the library that you want on your iPod, and drag-and-drop them into the name of your iPod in the left source area of iTunes.
I hope this helps,

Does any of this mean mean anything regarding the problem?
All it shows is that the tracks SHOULD be OK.
Next thing to try is to restore her shuffle in iTunes and reload. -
I try to download an app from the app store onto my phone but the icon just says "waiting...". the apps will only download to my laptop through iCloud. how do i change this?
Hi there marilyn248!
I've got some articles that should be able to help you with the issue you are experiencing. The article is about finding your past purchases through you iTunes account, and can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
You will want to pay close attention to which iTunes account you are signed into on both your computer and your iPhone, and make sure you are signed into the same one that was used to make the purchases. You will then be able to download the purchases directly to your phone without syncing to your computer. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Lightroom 5 will only download one image from my card, when I shot 10. Iphoto doesn't have a problem with it. I never had this problem with Lightroom 4.
Sort by capture time and the images won't be "scattered all over the place".
Just show "NEW" photos in the import.
As Jim said, reformat your card after all your backups are done and verified. -
Itunes will only download 2KB of a podcast that should be +20MB. Then calls it complete. How do I fix this problem.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -
When I connect my Leica digital camera to my iPad it will only download the photos not the videos. How can I download the videos anyone please?
If your camera has an SD memory card, use the camera connection kit & the SD card to download to the iPad. That's what I do.
Another way that will work. Download the video(s) to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
First, Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie file into the folder. The movie file must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie file should appear & you can import.

I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

I downloaded an album recently, but I guess my internet was going in and out the whole time, and now 5 of the 14 songs will cut out after a few seconds. How can I re-download those few songs?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
I want to show pictures from my iphone 4 on my television. I have the cables but it will only show a few pics stored online, none of those on the camera roll. Would it make a difference if I upgraded the ios to ios 7?
1, iOS only works on iPhone, iPads or iPods. These drives were probably made with an operating system that preceeded OS X such as OS 7, OS 8 or OS9.
2, No, the data on the Zip Drives is formatted for the Mac.
3, If your reformat them then all of the data is wiped
4, The problem would be that the PC can not read the files as formatted on the zip drive by the Mac
5, There are services that might be able to migrate the data for you but I seriously doubt that Staples or Office Max can do it for you. The services that migrate data charge big bucks so be prepared to pay for it.
