Please, please help-can't sync music library

Hiyas. I made the dreaded switch from Mac back to PC today, and my ipod nano was Mac formatted. Before I plugged in my ipod, I downloaded itunes and authorized the new PC. When I plugged in my nano, itunes informed me I'd have to reformat to Windows and now my library is gone with all of my music with it. I just want to transfer all of my itunes purchased music to my ipod using itunes without having to use an external hard drive to do it. Is that possible at this point? Thank you so much!

My preference is to manually manage my music, and not let iTunes take control of it -- the Apple software can't screw anything up if I don't let it have access to my files, ya know?
This issue has nothing to do with manually managing or not. As mentioned, Windows can't read a Mac formatted iPod. Reformatting will delete content on an iPod whether or not you manually manage your music.

So sorry - I'm in the same boat! Someone please help us out!!!!!

TS3999 I am receiving an error message "setup can't continue because outlook isn't configured to have a default profile" I have checked all defaults are on in outlook. Please help, can't sync my calenders or contacts, but the email works fine in outlook.

Can't get my Icloud to connect to outlook. Error message - setup can't continue because outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Help! Can't sync my contacts or calender with my other devices. Email works fine. Steve

I've looked at the Microsoft support info and it doesn't reveal anything new. I looked up the eM Client software and have decided to give it a try. I've been using Thunderbird and Gmail for years, but the issue of keeping contacts in snyc accross platforms led me to try Outlook as supposedly compatable with iCloud. Thanks for eM Client tip. It seems to work well and I'll be testing it for the next few weeks. While I'd still like to be able to solve the issue with Outlook (I'm not used to being defeated by software), I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy and a working solution is the priority here.
Thanks for the tip!

Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

Please help-Can I add music to iTunes from my iPod?

Can I add to my iTunes library from my iPod? How? If I sync my iPod what happens to the music that is on my iPod but not in my iTunes library? If the music dissappears then how can I ever put more music on the iPod without losing songs on it that are not in my iTunes?

Have you updated your iTunes? iOS7 requires at least iTunes 11.

I can't open my itunes store. I can open my music library and sync but not open my music store. I have deleted and reinstalled ituens and still not good. Help

I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

HELP!!!! I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1

I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1. I have tried all the options suggested on various posts, and searched the internet, but since getting the iPhone 6, and updating to iois 8.1 today, I STILL cant get music from my macbook pro on to my phone, and its driving me mad.
Im using a MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo, so quite an old mac, and iTunes 11.4. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!!

I've tried turning off and turning back in sync music, tried manually installing music. Re-installing the ios, resetting the network prefs etc. Some others had this problem when ios8 first came out. I tried all the 'tricks' they tried..... but there's worked whereas mine didn't.

I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle. When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music". What does that mean?

I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music". What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only? thanks, Jester

Dear jester,
Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
I hope this help you.

It says please use itunes to sync music..

Just bought a new ipod shuffle. I can listen to the songs from my mac, but when I eject, it says please use itunes to sync music. I placed the button in the middle that didn't solve the issue.

In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of the window) visible? If not, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, under DEVICES, when you connect both shuffles at the same time, both should be listed there, but only one of them appears, correct?
The blinking orange light means the shuffle's disk is mounted, so it is definitely connecting. And you said earlier that it appears in My Computer. What you should try is a Restore. However, you cannot do a Restore, unless it appears in iTunes. So, you may want to try erasing (reformatting) the shuffle using Windows, like it was a USB flash drive. When you do this, iTunes should not be running. Select FAT (or FAT32) as the disk format. If there is a choice to do a quick format, select to do a full format.
Then, run iTunes with only this one shuffle connected. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. If that happens, do the Restore, which re-erases the shuffle, put its software back on, and sets it to default settings. If you are not prompted, but the shuffle now appears in iTunes, select it and do a Restore from the shuffle's Summary screen.
If that does not help either, you should contact Apple to get it replaced. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genuis Bar and take it there. Depending on where you purchased it (and how long ago it was), you may also be able to just return it for refund, and buy another one.

"Please use iTunes to sync music"... uh, I have music

Never had this issue before. I have a shuffle from 09' and today I decided to add a few songs... when plugged in iTunes recognizes the shuffle and shows my music on the device.
When I eject it and attempt to listen to music, the only thing I hear is "Please use iTunes to sync music"
Any one have any ideas?
FYI, I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes.
Based off of my experience, I'd say iTunes is the issue

Please How can I put music on..

Please How can I put music on main menu of the dvd, so when it opens play the music while user in menu , and can be mp3 ?

Hi:
Please How can I put music on main menu of the dvd, so when it opens play the music while user in menu
You must import your audio file and then drag and drop it in the Audio section in the Menu Inspector. For detailed info look in the USer Manual for the topic Adding Audio to a Menu in the Creating Menus Using the Standard Method chapter.
and can be mp3 ?
You must convert the mp3 audio to AIFF or Dolby 2 (AC3) before importing. Allways try to use AC3 audio encoded with Compressor.
Hope that helps !

Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit). Keeps freezing at 99%

I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work. Please help.

Can someone please respond to my request for support? I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783 but it did not work.
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
