Please Help!! I can rip cd to Nano but can play files only on my computer.
Hello. I have a new iPod Nano and a new Philips compact stereo which can rip CDs directly to mp3 players. When I follow the procedure, all goes well, but when I try to replay the tracks on the iPod, they don't appear in any of the folders. Then, when I connect the iPod to my computer, the files appear and I can play them through the computer itself. I contacted Apple and they say that only music directly from iTunes is compatible. I need to know either how to convert the files to be compatible with iTunes or to get the iPod to accept these files as ripped. I hope I have used the correct terminology to describe my problem but if not, let me know and I'll try to clarify what's happening.
The Apple support person I spoke with told me to check this forum for help. She figured someone out there has been able to do this successfully. Thanks for any assistance.

You can play standard MP3s on your Nano... but you MUST use iTunes to MANAGE your music. You don't have to use any special "iTunes compatible" format. What it sounds like you did was simply drag the music files directly to your Nano... or ripped them directly to your Nano using it as an external drive. The software in the Nano will not allow you to do that. When you connect it to your computer, your computer sees it just as an external drive and will let you play the files just as you would on any external drive. You should copy the files to your iTunes library... or just let iTunes manage your music for you. You will then be able to sync your music to your Nano. Basically, you have to use iTunes to put your music on your Nano.

Looks like Rich beat me to it... but I'm glad my post was pretty much along the same lines as such an esteemed poster!

I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -
Dear Apple,
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
<Edited by Host>Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world. -
I click on one song and another one starts playing. Cover art for one artist shows up on another album. All of my music isn't showing up. Please help. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?
Sorry for not getting back with you...
That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
This is good you still have it.
Try this...
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
Does everything work okay? -

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now... -
Please help, my macbook pro is super hot, how can i fix it.
please help, my macbook pro is super hot, how can i fix it.
I am guessing you have just bought a new macbook pro, I did the same thing when I first unpacked mine.
You will get asked if you are using it on your lap, because they think that you are blocking the vents.
the macbook pro will get really hot around the E R T and F keys and I O P and L keys and the metal strip between the keyboard and the screen.
I have found the graphics accelerator heats the machine up more than the actualy processor.
you should report it to apple care before your 90 days is up, they may or may not send you to a genius booking. Just incase you have issues with your machine later due to the heat buildup early on, that way they have a log of the problem.
My macbook pro runs alot cooler than it did when i first got it, but still gets hot on heavy usage
You shouldnt really worry unless it shuts itself down as then you have some serious problems, when it gets hot u should be able to hear the fans running and it will prolly keep the temp aroun 101-104 c under heavy load. If you can't hear the fans, shut it down and take it back to the store.
Hope this helps you -

Battery running down fast using Yosemite, running the latest update 10.10.2. I think there is bug in this update. Please help me out or is there a way can i switch back to mavericks and how
1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center. -

iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable. this is now the third day and nothing improves please help. iTunes says my sim is locked but I can't unlock it
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:

After upgrading to ios5.1, I no longer can use my uconnect on my truck
It all worked just fine until I upgraded. But now when I make a call, it all goes through the truck speakers just fine, until the phone starts ringing. Then it won't allow me to speak or listen through the truck. I have to hold the phone to my ear.
