2GB ipod nano

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

Please help - no music showing in ipod source during move to new computer

Hello and Help
I am in the process of moving my ipod and itunes to my new laptop. I have followed Apples instructions - how to use your ipod to move your music to a new computer. I am now at the bit Free up space on the iPod however when i click on the music option under my iPod in the source panel (step number 2 and 3)all the music is in grey and i cannot click an any music to select all. What do I do. How do i free up space. I am sure i have followed all the steps correctly although i am a bit of a technophobe. The music is playing on my ipod if that bit of info helps and is also showing in the normal music bit in itunes....... please help.

or if you want to move the music to your new laptop you should just make a folder and put all your music in that folder on your old laptop. after that clear your ipod so it has no music or videos on it what so ever. then put your ipod in disk mode, then click on my computer, find the ipod drive and click on it and drag the folder that has the songs into the ipod drive. then after that hook up the USB Ipod cord to your new laptop and then download and install itunes, attach your ipod to the cord thats in your new laptop, get the folder out of the ipod and darg it onto your new laptops desktop. then open up the folder and drag all the songs onto your new itunes....
Note: When brining your songs onto your ipod drive, do not create a shortcut and put the shortcut onto the ipod drive....but I think many of you know that!

Please HELP! Music Player Question!

I have a music player that I am working on. Here is a link to
the site
Omyda Player. If you
click the little blinking arrow it reveals a control panel. Then
when you press track selector a window within the flash movie, you
can then chose a track and it will play. Do to the players slim
size the fonts have to be made small, so small its hard to read
unless you have good eyes. What I wanted to do is make it so that
if you hit track selector it pops up a html pop up window. You can
then choose your track and it sends the request to the flash
player. I was thinking of going about it this way!
I have to use java to send a command to the flash player....
here is the code.
The code above actually sends commands to what ever flash
movie you designate, problem is it is only made to send go to frame
commands.
Part 2 is the java button.
Now how do I name the home.html page? I know how to do a
window with in a window, but not a pop up to a page. Say for
example the popup is popup.html, how do I name the home.html. Do I
simply put home.html in target? Part 3 is an example, Is this
correct? If not how do I do it?
Now here comes an issue with the flash. The java code above
goes to a frame within the movie. So now I have to make a script on
frame 3 of the movie that tells it to make a button press, but I do
not know how to do it. Originally the movie worked by pressing a
button that was marked as a button set as a target called
Selection1 and so on. How would I make a script on frame 3 that
would press the button on its own? Kinda like a simulated user
press. Or is there a way to edit the Java code to act as a button
press? Please HELP! Part 4 is the coding used in the player!

Its called telling you the forum rules.
Now for your question, when you say the phone tells the caller that you are engaged, is it the "busy" tone or it diverts the caller to your voice mail box?

Please please help! I have messed up the DNS Settings on 10.8 server

Just started a new job and am in charge of managing the Mac Server. I have lots of Mac experience, but very little Mac OS X Server experience.
I used my MBP to access the server (which is a headless Mac Mini) and after I did so the settings were pretty messed up. In particular the Computer Name, Host Name, and DNS name were wrong or missing. I was able pretty easily to get the first two fixed, but not DNS.
I can reach the server via the IP, but NOT the domain name. (We were able to do this before I messed things up).
When I run
cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver
I get 4.2.2.2
which is the forwarding server
I have tried turning DHCP on and off, never works.
When I run
cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver
I get
nameserver[0] : 4.2.2.2
nameserver[0] : 150.2.0.30
nameserver[0] : 4.2.2.2
The 150.2.0.30 is what I have for the DNS entery in the Network Control Panel
When I run changeip -checkhostname under sudo I get
macserver:~ bryanschmiedeler$ sudo
Password:
Primary address = 192.168.x.x
Current HostName = server.example.com
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success"
Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!

Here are instructions for setting up DNS on OS X Server; select the show-all-records option on Server.app in 10.7 and 10.8, and those instructions should get you to a working configuration.
Your DNS server on OS X Server should refer to itself, via 127.0.0.1 address; the "localhost" address; IP networking's version of "self" or "me". This 127.0.0.1 reference is a special case, and only applicable to the DNS server's references to itself. All other hosts on your network should refer to your OS X Server DNS server by its assigned private static IP address on your LAN; whatever 192.168.0.0/16 address you're using for your DNS server. If you should have more than one DNS server on the LAN (commonly used for better reliability), each DNS server will refer to 127.0.0.1 and to the private static IP address of the other DNS server.
Do not refer to off-LAN DNS servers. Do not refer to ISP DNS servers, or the old Verizon DNS servers (in use here) nor to the Google DNS servers. To get local translations of private-block IP addresses such as your use of a subnet within 192.168.0.0/16, the server and the local clients must refer to the local DNS server. (Not to off-LAN DNS servers.) That means either manually-configured DNS server settings for static-addressed servers, and configuring the DHCP server to pass out only — only — the address of the local DNS server(s) to DHCP clients, and to not pass out any off-LAN server address(es).
Half the planet is probably using a subnet in the 192.168.0.0/16 private block, so obfuscating that range just means you might be running in one of the two the more problematic subnets, 192.168.0.0/24, or 192.168.1.0/24, but we can't tell. Those will cause issues with potential future use of VPNs with this network. Best to avoid those two subnet blocks.

Please help. Music files missing from itunes and computer!

I know that this isn't exactly a new issue, but I have scanned the discussions and nothing that I have read seems to help. My son has a nano (4th gen). He isn't sure but he thinks that maybe he disconnected his ipod before a sync was complete or something because all the music was deleted from it. He's not positive that's what happened but that's his best guess. No problem -- thought we'd just pull songs over again to it from our library. However, when we try to do this, on about 50% of the songs he wants (all were purchased, not from CDs) there are exclamation points next to the songs when we try to drag them and it says the file can't be found. I have looked in the itunes library on our computer and while I can find the libraries, they also don't have these specific songs we are looking for. I've tried to search and I just come up empty. Is there anything we can do beside buy the songs again? There are about 16 songs or so. A couple of them I have on my itouch. Could I somehow transfer the couple of songs to the computer? And would that work to get them to his ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

+It appeared to do that as there are now duplicates in our library, but when I tried to drag the new song to the ipod, that darn exclamation appeared again and the song wouldn't transfer.+
It's easy to get rid of the duplicates. iTunes menu > View > View Options
Check the Date Added box, then click on the column name Date Added twice. Eveything you added to day will be at the top.
Then click File > Show Duplicates and only delte the one from today.
Do NOT delete both duplicates, or the song will be entirely gone.
As for dragging songs to the ipod, it has to be set for "manually manage music" for that to work. I don't understand about the exclamation point showing up again, unless you were dragging the 'old' reference that got deleted. Tyr dragging over the copy from today.

Please Help - itunes music store error

I'm trying to authorize my itunes on my new MacBook Pro. I deauthorized all of my computers. When I go to authorize my new one, I get the window that tells me my computer was successfully authorized and I have 1 of 5 computers authorized. So far so good. I click okay and get the following message:
"We could not complete your itunes store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." I have been getting this message for a couple of weeks, just before the upgrade to version 7 and since the upgrade to version 7. My computer is current with allof the latest updates.
I tried to work with itunes support, but they kept emailing me links to articles that did not address my issue. I kept telling them that the article was not helpful and now they won't respond to my emails. In the past I have been very happy with Apple, so I am surprised by this.
Can anyone help? I don't want to drive to Chicago just to get this resolved.
Thanks.

The "Error 9813" alert occurs when there is an issue with the root certificate in a Keychain. Root certificates are stored in a system keychain located at :
/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors
These roots are used by Mac OS X system software to evaluate trust for secure web connections, secure e-mail, and other PKI interactions.
There are a few possible resolutions for this issue:
1. Quit iTunes, open Safari, and choose Empty Cache from the Safari Menu. Return to the iTunes Store and test to see if the issue is resolved,
2. Copy the "X509Anchors SystemRootCertificates.keychain", and "SystemCACertificates.keychain" files from another computer running the exact same version of Mac OS X as your computer, restart, and test.
3. Reinstall Mac OS X on your computer.

PLEASE HELP MY MUSIC IS ALL GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok well i got a new computer and i tried to transfer the music from my ipod to my itunes account. but before i didthat i downlaoded a nother song. so when i triede to sync all my music from my ipod and itunes account r gone. plz help me

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. If you haven't made a backup, and don't have your tracks on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.
And for the future, you'll want to back up your tracks as soon as possible after purchasing them. Then you won't be in this same situation should your computer crash again.
Good luck.

Help! Music Libray messed up!

Ive recentley up dated my Itunes to version 7.2.0.35 since the upgrade all the music has been rearanged in song title order all artist album details have disaperaed. Previousley it was all araged in Artist/album order. It there away I can i reagrage all songs in album and artist order with out have to go through 20+gigs of music doing it manualy?

If all your artist and album information in your tags is blank, iTunes uses this information to sort and organise your library. So the sorting changes are probaly secondary to the loss of the tags.
These are files your ripped rather than purchased from the iTunes store?
Someone else who was having problems with information being changed, although not the same as you, had Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 with folder watching on.
If you don't have any other software that might update your tags, then I don't know what is going on.
Windows Media Play has a feature in options that can automatically get tag information - do you have that?
If you ripped the CDs with iTunes then you could use iTunes to get the information again from Gracenote. Or if you used other software, you could maybe use that, or tag editors can often do this too.
Or if you have a backup your could restore from that.

Please help, solo playback is messed up

For some reason when I listen to a track solo it only plays through my left speaker, but when I listen to all tracks it plays through all speakers. It just started doing this, and I don't know why. I have several tracks and whatever happened effects all tracks. This is super annoying!

Do the affected Tracks get routed somewhere else before the Master Output? Check all channels, busses, & outputs to see if one of them is panned fully to one side (easy to miss if you're not expecting to see it!).

ITunes Match has messed up my entire music collection - please help me

Does anyone else have a problem with iTunes Match splitting their albums? I have been happily using iTunes for my entire music collection (round 800 albums) but it became a disaster the day I turned on Match. Where an album has a guest contributor on a track, it removes that track and places it separately, same album name and cover, but with the individual track(s). Some albums have been split across more than 7 individual album entries. The changes appear to be permanent. Turning off Match does not cure the problem. Removing the album and reloading it doesn't cure the problem. I have been through and individually altered each album track to say that it it part of the same album. This results in the album tracks places together but then shows the album as 'unknown artist' so I can't view my music properly. I am at my wits end with this. Please help.

Hi,
This is not a match issue but a general iTunes problem - read this article http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

I have just updated my iphone 4 to the new ios 6.1, now I can not sync my music to my phone via my iTunes. Before I done the update I was able to put the songs on my phone via iTunes, can anyone please help as i really need to put the songs on my phone.

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

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?

Please help My music is messed up
