Only able to get 260 songs on a 4G mini

I have read a lot of these posts and haven't found an answer to my question yet so I am hoping someone can help me.
I have a 4G mini and my husband has a 1G shuffle but I can only get about 260 songs on my mini when apple says it holds up to a 1000 songs and my husband shuffle can't hold more than 25 then apple says it should hold about 240 songs. Majority of the songs in our library are MP3's, ACC's and one or two WAV's. Also we have itunes at default transfer settings (128 kbps).
Can anyone please help?

It's probably because you have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac. If you see AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless then those formats are going to take way more space than mp3 or aac, especially the first 2 which are raw uncompressed formats. Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using aac at 128kbps for a 4 minute song.

The WAV files you mention are huge in comparison to compressed formats and were not really meant to use on an iPod.

If you have exceeded your allowance of 5 machines then Apple will not allow you to authorise additional Computers. If you still have access to your old toshiba fire it up de-authorise it and then try again with the new computer.
While this won't help if you are having password problems, I did want to point out that you do not need to access old machines to de-authorize them. Once you are signed in at the iTunes store, access "my account" by clicking on your username in the top navigation bar. Then "manage devices". You can remove any old machines that way.

"i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.

VADO HD - When saving I am only able to get 2 minutes of recording.

Help! After I've previewed and click save I only get two minutes of saved material. I think it's just saving the preview. What am I doing wrong?!

I upgraded to Pro specifically to export stills from a video. I want to export the stills as .png files which is an option offered in the compression types dropdown. All I seem to get are .pict files. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. PICT is the old Mac default system image file format. Unfortunately, QT 7 Pro was never updated to use the PNG file format which is now the default Mac system image type.
Not a Windows user, so I do not know if your options window is different that the one for the Mac. Basically, you are not being given the option of changing the file type, but rather how the PICT file type will be compressed as seen below:
Frankly, you may have been better off installing the free MPEG Streamclip app if not already on your system. It should allow you to export a video frame to JPEG, TIFF or PNG file types directly from the player—assuming the Windows version works the same as the Mac version.

Only able to get ipod movies in US ?

I'm from Canada and a little disappointed about the fact that I cant d/l movies from itunes.I just got an 80 gig vid ipod and went to download a movie or two, and found that there is no place to get them from once I log in to the Canadian site. Please tell me this is not true,I hope that its in the works, anyone else having this experience as well ?

Unfortunately, the US store is the only one that has movie content at this time. This is due to the wishes of the copyright holders for movie content. There have been discussions that movie content may be available in other country's store sometime in 2007, but no exact time frames have been given.

HT1695 New iPhone 5 -only able to get wifi when sitting next to router. My old 3GS with iOS 5.1 works fine all over house. Any ideas on how I can get my new iPhone 5 to work as well as old 3GS?

I just got my new iPhone 5 yesterday. I'm having difficulty maintaining a wifi connection. I can get reception when I'm sitting next to router but I get a short distance away and I get the message 'unable to connect to network'. My old iPhone 3GS works fine at same places where new iPhone 5 won't connect. I still am using ios 5.1 on 3GS. I've turned off my old phone to make sure it isn't causing some type of interference and also switched off the cellular network to try to force it into wifi mode but without any success. I don't think it's my router since my old 3GS is working fine. Anybody have any further thoughts? Thanks

There are some low-profile slots though 1 of them are occupied by the firewire card: 1 low-profile PCI, 2 low-profile PCI Express x16, 1 low-profile PCI Express x1
We actually purchased 13 of these computers for video editing, so I really hope it is possible to fix this without buying 13 low-profile graphics adapters. What gets to me is the fact that it does work when I disable the driver. (!) Shold therefore be doable to make a driver/update that works :-(
Any ideas? Or, in worst case, anyone know about a low-profile graphics card that works?
Thanks,
Steffen

HT201272 I downloaded Prep & Pantry Lite (free), then decided I wanted the full version ($4.99), downloaded to iPad but only able to get lite version on computer. Yes, read support page.

Followed the directions on the support page: at itunes store, logged into my account, clicked on "Purchased", clicked on icon next to "Prep & Pantry", it only down loaded the "lite" version. No full version noted anywhere under "Purchased", although my account does show I paid for the full version. Full version IS on my iPad but did not transfer during syncing either. I sync with my a laptop that has windows xp (older laptop, will not support windows 7). Any suggestions?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The PC does support 4Gb of ram, although it's the max it supports, it does support it. I have read quite a bit about other people having this issue with other systems and I've gone all through my bios looking for SOME sort of option that I can at least play around with, but there's nothing there. I've also upgraded the bios thinking that "maybe" it could be something with that. The video card I'm using is a Nvidia Quadro NVS 420 512 Mb. I've tried disabling IndirectMemoryAccess in my xorg.conf thinking that might be messing with it somehow, but it did nothing. I just tried removing the video card altogether and running w/ the onboard video and alas! I recovered 512Mb, which I would be pleased with, but when I add the card back, the available ram disappears again. So now my question is this... Why would the kernel be reserving 512Mb of system ram for a card that has 512Mb of ram built in (at the same time not visibly acknowledging the fact that it exists)? Is this maybe a kernel option that I can pass at boot to disable it from reserving the system ram?
I'm sorry about the lack of the bbcode tags btw, I'm a first timer to the forums (however an arch user for some time now).
Thanks again for any input, it's much appreciated!

Computer crashed - how do I get my songs off my ipod mini back onto mac?

hi there - I have an ipod mini linked to a powerbook g4. Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. Now when I connect my ipod, i get an error message saying that this ipod isn't linked to this computer.
If i interpret the message correctly, changing the link will link them, but as I understand it, it will also wipe all the songs on the ipod as there are currently no songs on the computer. But if I choose the 'no' option I can't access any of the songs from the laptop as they are all greyed out or sync the songs back to the computer.
Yikes!
Can anyone help out. Short of digging out all the CDs and digitizing again, is there a way around this problem?
Thanks, in anticipation.

Yeah, syncing them will wipe the iPod. You need an iPod Manager (other than iTunes) that'll move songs from the iPod to the Mac (which iTunes is design not to do).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers
I used iPodRip. It took a little finaggling (sp?) so next time I'll try something else. You might want to look up some reviews of the others and see what'll work for you. Some save the play count history & playlist, others don't.
Anyway, it's doable.

SINCE YOUR LATEST UPDATE, I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO OPEN ONE FIREFOX WINDOW AT A TIME, I ALSO LOST MY YAHOO SEARCH BAR TOOL.

I have had Firefox for a few years and have been very satisfied with all of it's features and qualities. I work a great deal from home and have always enjoyed the convenience of being able to work off of 3 or 4 Firefox screens at one time. By pulling up one screen over the other and then go back and forth (as I still am able to do with Internet Explorer), saves a lot of time and NEEDLESS effort.
Since your latest update the other day, I am now only able to get that 1 screen and no matter how many times I click on the Firefox Icon on my icon screen, no other Firefox screens will come up. I am stuck with that 1 screen...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I have also lost my Yahoo search tool bar due to your upgrade, as well as several others which I cannot seem to retrieve.
Thank you so Very much in advance for addressing and correcting this error.

Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

Home Sharing- How do I get the songs from someone in my families library on my own library, NOT just playing them through their shared library.

Shouldn't I be able to get their songs on my library? I've tried dragging them over but it won't let me. It would be dumb if you couldn't get their stuff on to your library.

They need to be using the same ID to do that

Itunes Charged my Account But I Didn't Get My Song

I had left over money from an Itunes card, so I thought I'd buy a song. Since it was my first time buying off of this computer, I was required to answer my security questions, which I had forgotten. By the time I had re-done my questions, the session had timed out, and I was not able to get the song. Apple, however, still charged me and my balance is now $0.25 as opposed to $2.49. Is there a way to get back to that screen or is my money gone for good?

If it hasn't downloaded then have you tried the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option to see if that downloads it, or does it show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for (re-)downloading ?
If not see if it appears in your purchase history, and if it does use the 'report a problem' link from there to contact iTunes Support : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Why was I only able to sent 5 photos by email?

I was only able to email five photos on my iPad mini. Why

Mailing is limited to max. five photos at a time - probably to prevent the size of the mail from exceeding the limits on the server.
The iPad User Guide is not very clear about the limits, it only says: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Share photos, videos, and more
You can send photos, videos, locations, contact info, and voice memos. The size limit of attachments is determined by your service provider—iPad compresses photo and video attachments if necessary.

I got a new computer, told it library was on external hd, no problem. A lot of artwork was missing though (NOT manual artwork, only previous artwork I'd asked itunes to find). I ran 'get artwork' but it's only asigned artwork to the1st song in each album

So, I got a new computer. As my itunes library has gone through a few in its time, it lives permanently on my external hard drive, as this generally makes moving to new computers hassle free. I told my freshly intsalled itunes on my new computer where to find the library and it got all my songs, movies etc no problem. However, some albums were missing artwork (NOT any of the albums I had ever manually added artwork to, thank god, these all seemed to be intact, jut ones where itunes had previously got artwork for me). I asked itunes to get missing artwork, as is par for the course. This it did, but it has only installed artwork for one song per album (generally the first song, or the lowest numbered track for incomplete albums, as far as I can tell).
It does not acknowledge these songs as missing artwork when I create a smart playlist but, erm, they are - the artwork doesn't show up on the display in the bottom LH corner or in the info tab. WHY? When I've added new albums 'get artwork' has always added artwork for EACH song on the album in every previous itunes I've ever had. I don't get it at all.
I appreciate it might be irreperably messed up, but please don't reply with any manual adding solutions. I have over 25,000 songs in my library and to go through and manually ask itunes to add artwork to each song (apart from the first on the album which already has it) would take SO LONG it makes me want to die inside.
I can't find anything else on this. Other people have had issues with itunes match and devices, but these songs don't even have artwork on itunes, let alone on my ipod, iphone etc.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

How can I play all the videos I have saved to a playlist? I only am able to get one playing at a time then I have to select the next and play it.

I am not able to get all/any of my videos to play one after another like my music playlists. I thought it worked once but I am not able to recall how.
Your help is greatly appreciated. I am tired of having to go back after each video (be it a music video, tv show, movie...but music video in particular).

The Videos that do not play - Are they all Checked.
Right Mouse Click on a video, If at the bottom of the popup it has Check selection then that is what is missing. Suggest you select all your videos, Right clcik and mark all as checked in 1 go. Then your playlists will run through them.
I think they only play one at a time because when you double click on them to pl;ay for that 1 video it overides the checked/ Unchecked feature
