Podcasts update, music doesn't. Pls help.

Bought a fifth gen ipod a while back and it's been working great. But lately it's been getting a little slow locating songs, maybe a couple of seconds before it plays the next song. So i thought i'd restore the ipod and download my library back onto it, hoping that the songs would sort better. Bad idea. I had all sorts of trouble and went through the five r's to fix it. Everything works fine now except that when i update the ipod the only thing that shows up is my podcasts. The update process just skips my music. everything is set to work automatically in the options menu, so i'm not sure what to do at this point. i'd appreciate any help anyone can give.

Well, it's a good thing the songs play in iTunes. As far as authorization goes, the only songs you would have to authorize are songs that are purchased from the iTunes music store. If the songs are from CD's or other downloads, you don't have to worry about it. (FYI: authorizing iTunes music store content just means that you play the song in iTunes and enter your password, when prompted, before you transfer the files to the iPod).
After you restore your iPod, you have to set it up in iTunes again (when it asks you to name it and register it and all that). While doing this, there is an option to "Automatically update all songs and playlists" If you leave that checked, your iPod will update automatically when it is connected to your computer. If you uncheck it, you have to manually update your iPod.
Try this:
Connect your iPod, and let it go through any automatic update that it does when connected.
Click on Edit, click on Preferences, click on the iPod tab.
Click on Music tab, and make sure everything is set to the following:
"Automatically update all songs and playlists" is checked
"Only update checked songs" is UNchecked
"Enable disk use" is UNchecked
Make sure your settings match those, and then click File > Update iPod and see if that puts your music on your iPod. Reply back and let me know what happens.
Best of luck!

Music wont download - pls help urgently

i have tried 5 times to download an album from itunes and every time i have to re-renter my billing details and double check everything is correct but to no avail. after doing this, there's no downloaded music and i don't know if apple will charge me 5 times as well for trying (hopefully not!!). pls help me. thanks

Yes, I have, i think it may have something to do when
it says, "playlist selected for updating no longer
exists"
But making a new playlist didnt work
Then you didn't name it exactly the same as the ones that were deleted. It WILL work. Been there, done that.
Good luck!

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

My iPod movies and videos are n my music folder. PLS HELP ME!!!!!!

When i go to view my movies and tv shows theres nothing there. they are all under my music folder under my songs lists and artist list. And instead of my movies being under their respected folders, my artist lists are there. Can someone pls help me with this problem.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup.

pls help me been trying to install ios 7 to my ipad 2, but this erroor always occurred "an error occurred installing IOS 7.0.4

If your iPad screen is frozen with that message on it, try rebooting 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

If the iPhone was jailbroken / unlocked using unofficial means; it has been locked again after the restore. Use official SIM.

Hyperlinks don't work, pause button on quicktime music doesn't work, help!

Hi,
This is my second time with I web, having created and maintained a site for 2 years I know a lot about the program. The thing that kills me with this program is that even when you think you do something right, there's a chance it just may not work!
My hyperlinks, for example (www.johndoing.com), don't seem work at all when I select "open in new window". In other words, the ones on the "calendar" page work fine because they don't open in a new window. The ones on the "what I do" page just don't work at all!!! I deleted them and re-linked them and re up-loaded them twice! I don't have any more time to spend on that part of the site!
Then there is the "home" page. "welcome" and "biography" are both hyperlinks if you see both:
http://www.johndoing.com/newestsite/welcome.html
and http://www.johndoing.com/newestsite/biography.html
You'll see what I mean. They work great in IWeb, there's nothing on top of them blocking them, and I'm at a total loss because they just don't work online.
The other big problem with the site is that none of the quick time music players work! If they are on autoplay, they can't pause, if they are not on autoplay, they can't play.
I'm very frustrated, I hope somebody can give me some advice.
I uploaded using "cyberduck", I have the latest version of Iweb and OSX...
Any help is appreciated, thanks,
JD

because of z-index and the inconsistent way you added the black frame/stroke, see my post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7431333&#7431333
you need to add a text in the body_layer (as in the Sounds page), size it, add the stroke and send it to the back.
the qt play button works when you control click it, that's bypass z-index layering.

IOS 6 update: music doesn't shuffle, it repeats

Hi there,
Updated to IOS 6 a couple of weeks ago and now whenever I go to play music on my iPhone, it just repeats the same song over and over. I can't shuffle or listen to songs in order on my iphone 4s. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Talked with car dealer and he thought a special cradle was needed. Told him the Blackberry I had last week worked flawlessly -- perplexed him... stopping by later this week to talk in person with the car geeks -- no resolution at this point

Updating product catalog.. pls help

Hi Friends,
I have to update the product attributes( attributes created under a characteristics list, and if i assign char list to a area, these attributes can be seen for each product).
I want to update/insert new attribute values to all products under a product area's product catalog.
is there any function module to update the attributes????
can u tell me how can i do this via code?
thanks in advance,
Niraja

Hello Niraja,
I have one issue which is lagging for long time.
I am searching for a Function module which could be used to copy an existed product catalog to create a new product catalog.
if you go to comm_pcat_adm -> enter one PCAT which is already there and say copy catalog and entering new catalog name to which we want to copy .
this is manual doing.
i want a FM which could take care of the above manual intervention.
PLease let me know the FM ASAP.
Thanks

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Your feed is at http://blacktribbles.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
When subscribed to in iTunes the recent episodes show, but the Store hasn't updated for some time.
There appears to be an issue with the feed. In the episode 'WRESTLING MARCH MADNESS: Final Bracket & Championship' of 31st March you will find in the 'description' tag the following line:
4. KURT ANGLE
At the end of this line is an invisible character which seems to be wrecking the feed - although it works OK when suscribing in iTunes it won't load in a browser (and I also found the feed very slow to load, which won't help matters with the Store)
This sort of thing usually happens when you paste text in from a word processing application and manage to include one of the invisible control characters. I don't know how easy it will be do do it in Podomatic but you should delete that entire line and retype it to remove this charter.
You should keep an eye on the time it takes the feed to be accessed - if there is a long enough delay (and it was quite some seconds when I tried) the Store may well timeout and fail to read it. At the moment it's showing a cached version from the last time it was able to read it.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like app, music and videos. Thus, you wll have to resync those back to your iPod.
If necessary you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
