Problem transferring contents of iTunes to new Nano

I have just bought a new Nano. When I plugged it in, I expected that my existing iTune library from my old 20GB iPod would simply load up, but it didn't. The size of the library is currently 1.5GB. The new iPod appears in the source window. If I unplug the iPod and plug it back in, I get an error message saying 'X could not be copied to iPod as could not be found'. Can anyone help?

Before deleting the songs, can you locate them on your PC? If you can, what format are they? Possibly, something that I cannot explain, a dang gremlin is in the midst.
If you find the songs, then try clicking on it and let iTunes read. That is, if you have it setup for iTunes to be the default player.

Transferring songs from ITunes to IPod Nano

I have IPod Nano 5th Generation, and the latest IMac operating system.
Had no problems until today, because yesterday I downloaded the brand new ITunes 11.0 (163). Trying to transfer songs from ITunes to my IPod Nano. Not sure if I should submit this question in the ITunes section or the IPod Nano section, so did both.
ITunes used to - until today - show my device (IPod Nano and its playlists) on the left side column of ITunes, above the ITunes playlists. So I could just click on a ITunes song on one of the ITunes playlists and drag that song into one of the IPod Nano playlists above it. Now with this new version of ITunes nothing shows up on the left side, so I have no way of dragging songs from ITunes to IPod Nano. An IPod Nano icon does appear on my desktop, but clicking on it or its contents does not show any IPod Nano playlists. I could click on the IPod Nano icon on my desktop and then click on "all files" on top. There is an area that shows all the IPod Nano songs (I think), but it does not show the IPod Nano playlists.
1) How do I get the IPod Nano playlists to show?
2) Please advise how to transfer songs from ITunes to IPod Nano playlists when using this new ITunes 11.0.
3) If this cannot be done, is there a way for me to go back and reinstall the previous version of ITunes?

I don't think the late/great Steve Jobs had this "new and improved" version of ITunes to be so darn frustrating. It used to be relatively simple to put songs into a playlist or to import purchased songs from ITunes into an Apple device such as the IPOD Nano. "Simple" used to be the selling point of Apple products. What happened? With this new version, I feel like I've got to contact Apple Support to do simple tasks. It seems like I'm not the only person having this problem.

Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh.
Any suggestions welcome....

Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...

TS2972 I am having problems streaming content from iTunes on my computer to the Apple TV.

I cannot stream content from iTunes on my computer to my Apple TV (latest model).
I have checked the following -
iTunes Version 11.1.5.5
No Windows updates outstanding for the computer
Home Sharing is turned on in both iTunes and the Apple TV
The wireless network appears to be OK
iTunes connects to the Store so the computer is OK
the Apple TV connects to external content - You Tube etc
I have opened up TCP/IP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 in the McAfee Firewall
When I turn on the Apple TV and check the Computer Icon, I get the following message -
"To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using "..the Apple ID...".
Where to next?

Well, after 1 hour of phone support and 90 minutes of on-line support, McAfee finally resolved the problem.
If anyone else has a similar problem, tell McAfee to look at Service Request 1443603280.

Transferring data to iTunes on New Laptop using Windows 8.1

I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. A friend has transferred the data from my old PC, but when I connect my iPod, it opens iTunes but there is no Music Library showing or Apps. I get a warning saying that if I Sync the iPod it will remove all my music from the iPod, presumably this will also happen to my Apps that are on the iPod. I can however see all my music if I go to - This PC-Music-iTunes-iTunes Music, and all my Apps - This PC-iTunes-Mobile Apps.
My friend is unavailable to help. and I am a struggling 75yr old. I am worried that if I try to Sync I will mess up my content on all my other devices - two iPads and an iPhone. Any help please thankyou

See this migrate iTunes library post. You may need to copy over the library again or retrieve your data from your device.

Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!

Transferring content from apps to new ipad

Sorry if this is the wrong section
I jus bought a new ipad, and i was jus wondering hw to transfer those apps content from old ipad to the new ones.
The contents I was referring to was stuffs like games histories, such as the levels and achievements. (i got a game called bubble mania, and i got quite far in it, i dont wanna redo it all over again. Hahas)
As well as contents in an apps called the "ppstream". (i kinda downloaded 10+ gigabytes of movies in it, so redownloading it is quite a hassle)
I used the backup using itunes, and it does reinstalled all those apps i used, but all the apps are empty so its kinda useless.
Did i did the wrong backup? or are they any more extra steps that needed to be done?
is there any way to make a complete copy of the ipad or clone it to the new ipad?
Thanks in advance

You have to have a current backup of the old iPad before you restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad. Read this and see if it becomes clearer to you. You should probably transfer purchases as well so that all of your bases are covered.

Transfer purchases from the old iPad, backup the old iPad and sync one last time. Then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes.

Copy IPOD Contents TO Itunes on New Computer

Is there a way of copying my ipod music to a new computer versus haveing a blank itunes that then erases the ipod contents on syncing??? Thanks
JRklein

Ok, here is a little trick i learned. All you have to do is add folder (if on windows) or just files (not files on windows).
First you want to plug in your ipod while having iTunes open.
Second deny and attempt for iTunes to add the current library onto the pluged-in iPod.
Third, go to the preferences and go to advanced, and check the box that says: "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library"
Fourth: Amke sure the iPod is enabled as disk use, and then add the ipod folder, yes the whole thing to your library.
Fifth, the files hsould now appear in you library, and you can disconnect your iPod because the file were copied to you itumes Music folder.
sixth, disconnect the ipod and attempt to play the songs. If you can't retry.
Who said Apple doesn't let you take songs off the iPod.
