Problem Transfereing Music. Computer Freezes.

Hi there. Just got a new Ipod and I am haveing problems transferring music to it. I installed Itunes and loaded all my music into it. My problem comes whenever I try and transfer my music to the Ipod. As soon as I try and transfer it the computer basically goes into hibernation mode and won't come out without restarting the computer.
Anyone else had this problem?

thanks - all other usb devices are disconnected. I tried to run the error check on the ipod, but when I click "start" (on the tools tab) that screen just goes away & doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Problem transfering music onto 6280

Hi,
I am looking for any help with this issue, I am about to throw my phone in the bin!!
I am transfering music via my pc, when i get about 5 songs into ANY cd, the programme (nokia pc suite, latest version) says it has encountered an error and must shut down, this is not isolated it is any cd I try!
I am using a 1 gig memory card and therefore know I have plenty of space,I have tried different conversions and different rates of conversion!
I am at the end of the line with this flippin' phone......any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Just what do you mean by "First I uploaded the music from a flash drive into his cloud"? What did you do?

Having problems transferring music from my pc

I bought an ipad 3 last week and seem to be having difficulties transferring music from my pc. Do I click import, this seem to work but only transferred 2 1/2 albums & podcasts.

Tried a disk clean up and even upgraded the firmware on my player.
Now in nomad explorer the music files do not even show up while the data library still take ages to load and I still cant transfer anything from it as it tells it cannot read from jukebox device.
Tried deleting some files to see what would happen ? the file says it has been deleted but when I disconnected and looked in library again the file was still there.
I forgot to mention in my first post that I was able to transfer everything off my Zen onto pc but I had to remaster my computer and as such lost all files and since then I cant transfer off the Zen - not sure if that matters but thought I should mention it
Can?t really test at friends? computer because even if I could and it worked I have 25 GB of files that need to be transferred which doesn?t make it feasible to transfer all onto a friend?s computer
Any help is grateful as I need to back up my music files in case my Zen breaks down (I am on my third Zen in 4 months as the first two were defecti've)

Problem transferring music to new computer

i just bought a new laptop after my old one crashed. i have been following apple's instructions in the article "how to use your ipod to move music to a new computer." i am able to do all of this except when i get to the step which says to open up the ipod and drag the itunes folder to the my music folder. my problem is that i do not see the itunes folder when i open up my ipod. if anyone can help me and give me any insight on what i can do to find that folder or to finish this process i would greatly appreciate it! thanks so much!
molly

See this migrate iTunes library post for the steps I normally recommend. It may be easier to redo the transfer if the library still works on the original machine.
Otherwise are you certain that all the media was copied across? I have tools and suggestions that can relink the media files if they have been put into the wrong layout as long as there is still a degree of structure, but if they are nowhere to be found then they can't help.
The locate button doesn't necessarily start you in the right place to look for a missing track. If it were that easy iTunes ought not to need your help at all.

TS1474 I having problems transfering music to my I phone from my other computer.

I synce my I phone with my newer laptop and click manually manage music and videos. But when I connect it to my other computer the box is unchecked. Why can't I do this?

your iphone can only synce with one pc at a time, but when you want to add songs to your iphone for another pc, and you don't want to lose the data that you already have,
1- on your music store creat a new list(on your iphone)
2-press synce
3- the songs that are on the pc, drag them to the play list you created and synce.
that is what i always do

Problems transferring music from turntable to computer with Audigy 2ZS Plse He

I originally had Sound Blaster PC28. I have installed last year Audigy 2ZS with 6 analog plugs and updated regularly. Everything is fine from burning to playing music of any format allowed. However, last week I tried to transfer vinyl music to my computer using Sony Sound Forge Version 8 and nothing works. Here's what I did. Luxman Turntable connected with ground to LINE IN ( in DENON amp ) and in the AUX output I have 2 Monster cables boing to my computer twinned on goldplaited /8 jack which is connected to the second (from right) LINE IN in the sound card. This done while referring to Manual & Getting Started Demo Creative program in the software. NO SOUND AT ALL COMES IN the computer - while the music is playing qell on my audio system player. I've done all kind of adjustment with the Microsoft Volume Play & Recording Controls and with Creative Mixer.
I can only distinguish on Sony Sound Forge two volume bars that there is some faint connection fluttering . I still tried to record but upon playback, there is no visual waving lines illustrated in SoundForge window nor sound played back. I expected that. What am I doing wrong or is Audigy 2ZS not suitable for such ? FYI, I tried the other5 jacks on the sound car ( adjusting to WHAT U HEAR or LINE IN controls ) .
The infos in Creative manual and software demo show the 2nd jack of analog sound card from the right being used as a LINE IN for cassette, synthesizer & cd player ( Iguess it goes also for truntable ? - i tried with cd player and it does not work either ) Third jack from the right is only for microphone (also tried but does not work either) . Sorry for lenghty description, I tried all I could . Am retired 7 yrs old and i wish to transfer all my jazz vinyls to puter inorder to make cds. Kindest to All for your help. Merci beaucoup !

Connections:

(if you want to play back through Denon amp, --> [Audigy line-out [_(out)-->(in)_[Denon line-in (playback or aux-in)].
Software settings:
Creative CT Mixer
- enable Wave and Line-In sources, set level to 50-00%
- set .Rec source to AnalogMix(), set level to 50-00%
- find the best levels (I normally have these set as: line-in = 70% (.rec = 00% if not using ASIO drivers))
SoundForge:
- (depending on device driver mode you're using and which A2ZS model you have there), set input to AnalogMix() (w/ ASIO) or just select the one meant for Line-In,
- set recording levels

Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

Hi,
Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
[color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
Windows XP Service Pack 2<
527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

Problem transfering music/updating ipod

I recently moved and changed computers. My ipod had my library from home on it but i had a new library at my apt. i plugged my ipod in to see what kind of transfer there would be and it erased my ipod and filled it with the new library. then i went back home, and reversed it with my old library. finally, i had enough at my apt so once more i erased my ipod and built it with the library from my computer. today i tried to traditionally transfer music, adding music into my ipod. it would not update, it said it was finished updating but when i looked, none of the new songs were transfered into my ipod.... please help im so frustrated. ive tried reinstalling but that doesn't solve the problem.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What you are trying to do is illegal. You cannot take your friend's music. That is one of the reasons for the message.
Also, even if legal, you cannot use iTunes to move music from iPod to computer.

Problem transferring music to iPod touch

Ok, so I just bought the IPT 2G 16gig less than a week ago, and i love it. So I put in a cd and load it into my library, and everything works just fine; until I try to take the music and put it into the touch. I drag the music to my ipod and it wont go in. I cant sync my ipod because my family has ipods too, and i dont want all their music on my ipod. Can anyone help me?
Also, this is my second ipod, my first being an ipod nano 2G. I had a different itunes on a different computer, and i was wondering if there was a way that i could take my nano, put it into my IPT library, and dump all the songs on my nano into that.

Fire up iTunes with your ITP connected. Under devices in the left hand pane click on your iPods name. Go to the centre panel and under the options heading make sure the manually manage music and videos option is checked. Now you wont need to sync, you can just hit the disclosure triangle in the left panel next to your iPod's name, select the 'music' heading under it and then go to the File menu and select 'new playlist' and drag the songs you want from your itunes library and drop them onto that playlist. (alternatively, if you already have playlists created under your itunes library, you should be able to just drag the playlists themselves into the ipod to transfer those songs over.
As to your question about transferring songs from your nano, you'll have to hit google for that, it's not a topic that can be discussed here given the T&C's of this forum.

Problem transfering music to iphone

Hi
I guess you see this question a lot of times, but in this case I feel something is really wrong and may be just a silly mistake.
I have a PC and a Ipad and I bought my music through my Ipad. When I conected both, they shared the music and all was fine, I was able to hear it on the PC and on the Ipad.
Then I got an Iphone and when I pluged it to my PC it got most of the Ipad apps I had on the PC backup. But it did not transfer the music. The I checked and it turns out that my Ipad account and my itunes account were different on my ipad but the same on the iphone, so I fixed that and now both share the same account for itunes, and now I can see my music con "music I bought" on itunes. But when I try to download it from icloud, suddenly it stops and it wont let me get the music.
I pluged my iphone to the PC and the PC says that the music is in the iphone, but in the iphone the itunes is empty and in settings says that I have 0 songs... So IDK what is happening :S
any Ideas?

Yes I have had an iPod so the setting is fine, I think I have ticked automatically sync when iphone is connected and sync only ticked songs. The iPhone has transferred all the music files like ring tones to iTunes on my computer but it will not transfer music from iTunes to iPhone. It is so annoying! Do you think it is because I already have an iPod runnings against iTunes my account? Is there some rule you can only authorise one device? Sorry to trouble you but the trouble shooting pages does not answer this. Thanks.

Problem transfering music to Nokia 5000

Greetings,
Using Nokia PC Suite version 7.0.9.2 under Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, using Bluetooth connection to my Nokia 5000.
I'm trying to transfer music files to the phone using Nokia Music Manager. I'm unable to play any transferred files in my phone - whenever I try, I'm getting "File corrupted" message. The converted files (to AAC format) play fine in Music Manager itself. Also, if I transfer the original MP3 files directly using file transfer, they play fine in the phone.
The same problem also existed with the previous version of Nokia PC Suite (I think that was 7.0.8.2).
Regards,
Dimitri

Having problems transfering music to my Nano between laptop and desktop.

Recently my desk top PC broke down. I then got a Nano for my birthday (cool) so bought some podcasts and tracks from i-store and downloaded a small proportion of my cd collection using my laptop. For some reason it takes a couple of hours to download a cd into i-tunes. For that reason, now my PC is back with me I downloaded the rest of my cd collection onto the hard drive then transfered the music into the recently installed i-tunes.
Here's the problem, when I connected the nano to the PC for the first time I was asked if I wanted to replace the present library (laptop) with the new PC library. I want both as I don't see how to get the bought and paid for stuff off the laptop, onto my PC and then on to the Nano.
I can understand why this may of happened as you could just plug your i-pod/nano etc into someone elses laptop and bootleg their music but I don't want to have tp pay for my downloads twice. Can anyone help me out?

your iphone can only synce with one pc at a time, but when you want to add songs to your iphone for another pc, and you don't want to lose the data that you already have,
1- on your music store creat a new list(on your iphone)
2-press synce
3- the songs that are on the pc, drag them to the play list you created and synce.
that is what i always do

Problems transfering music from external hard drive to ipod.

When I plug both ipod and external hard driver (WD 1600B014) into my Gateway laptop, only 1 device will work at a time with the other saying "usb device not recognised". This means I am unable to copy selected itunes songs onto my ipod.
This is driving me insane as I have 60gb of music on my hard drive which I want to chop and change frequently.
I have tried all manner of solutions including buying a powered usb hub (belkin) and starting a clean sheet with my laptop, installing all manner of new drivers for the usb ports.
I have the same problem with my 5G ipod 40gb.
I have tried the same problem on my dads desktop computer and the same problem arrises.
Does anyone have any answers as this has been driving me mad for ages and ages.
Is this a common thing or is it a problem with Western digital hard drives (although i thought they were a pretty big brand).
Any help would really be appreciated.

if I want to copy all those song files onto my iPod, they have to be copied into itunes first, and there's not nearly enough space on my desktop for that.
No, you don't have to copy the tracks to your internal hard drive. Just turn off the "copy music to iTunes Music Folder when adding" option in the iTunes Advanced preferences. Then use the "Add To Library" menu command and select the appropriate folder(s) on your external drive. iTunes will add the tracks to the Library but not move them to the internal drive.
Once that's done, use iTunes to transfer the music to the iPod. You can then, if iTunes is set for manual synchronization, remove the tracks from the Library if you want to remove the reference to the external drive.

Problems transferring music with USB 2.0

I recently installed a USB 2.0 PCI card with 4 ports, the card installed fine and plugging my Nano into it was fine, however, when I try to transfer music onto the Nano it keeps freezing. It'll transfer maybe the first 2 or 3 tracks of an album and then stop. Clicking on 'Update iPod' means it'll do perhaps another 2 tracks and then it'll freeze again. I have to keep clicking on 'Update iPod' to eventually get all the songs moved over - it kinda defeats the object of using USB 2.0!!!
I'm running SP 2 so thats not the problem and everything else that's connected to the new ports are running fine. Any ideas...anyone...please??!!

Hi,
what you could try is to reinstall the chipset driver because I think the USB is related to the chipset.
In my opinion the upgraded Windows had changed the USB driver from Toshiba one to MS one. So the Port replicator is not recognized all times.
Bye Rudi
