  • Problem with Itunes and new Macbook Pro

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro, my first Apple computer ever though I have other Apple products (iPad, iPod, iPhone).  All of my iTunes music and playlists are on my Dell PC at work.  My hope is to transfer my music to my new Mac (at home) so that I have more room for actual work items on my computer at the office. 
    I had no trouble transferring the songs (via my iPod) the songs are there but the playlists are not listed on my new computer (the Mac).  Is Mac compatible with making playlists in iTunes and if so how can I get those lists back other than paistakingly creating all 45 play lists one by one again?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Do you have an external hard drive?  If you do, connect the drive to the PC.  Copy the iTunes Folder and all the media and various library files it contains from the PC to the drive.  Connect the drive to the Mac.  Copy the folder and replace the folder on the Mac in your Home > Music with the one from the PC.  Start iTunes and it will now be pretty much identical to the one that was on the PC.  Caution: If you have put things on the Mac that were not on the PC then you will need to change the process a bit.

  • Sync problems with itunes and latest IPod nano

    Hello,
    I have the latest IPod touch and later purchase the latest IPod Nano for GF. My problem is I can't sync itunes with Nano, my current itunes library is sync with my IPod touch.
    How can we manage a reciprocity where itunes enables accessibility for Nano to sync with my itunes library has it does recognize my IPod Touch.
    Hope you understand my problem, looking for your kind assistance.
    Thank you,
    Frank   

    There should be no problems connecting and syncing two different iPods with one iTunes library.  In fact there is NO limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, and iPods you can sync to one computer/iTunes library.
    There are several ways to manage multiple devices with one library.  All of them are described in more detail in this Apple support document.

  • Problems with iTunes and my iPod

    When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes doesn't automatically load like it used to. Instead, I have to manually open iTunes myself. And when I double click for iTunes to open, I get the following message:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    So I clicked OK, and after that iTunes opened by my iPod didn't show up. I tried reinstalling iTunes, but it hasn't worked.
    It also won't charge when plugged into the USB.
    WHAT do I do?

    It would be nice to get some help around here. Isn't
    that what this place is for?
    Just so you know, for future reference, this is a user-to-user board . . . nobody on here is paid to help, and generally, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
    Hope you got your issue worked out.

  • Problem with Itunes and New

    Hello,
    Can anyone offer me advice how to effecti'vely transfer a (protected I tunes (MP4) file to my Creative Zen? I followed the instructions as Creative has offered, yet I receive a message stating that my player does not support the file.
    Thanks

    The Apple MP4 is not supported on the New Zen because the .MP4 file is encoded using H.264 compression.
    The Zen supports DivX and XVid .AVI video based on the mp4 video compression. You will need to convert your videos to DivX AVI or WMV which are supported.
    These explains it better
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divx
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
    Some people reported using Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html#Dnload for the conversion.
    Also ensure that your videos are no larger than 320x240 pixels.
    As for Audio, only MP3, WAV and unprotected AAC are supported.Message Edited by eddy2099 on -0-200705:00 PM

  • Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

    I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail.  Now, I'm totally frustrated.  So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone.  I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
    First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch.  My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2.  My system has the following:
         Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
         Model: m9150f
         Processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz  2.40 GHz
         Memory (RAM):  3.00 GB
         System type:  32-bit Operating System
    Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
         1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
         2.     no device displayed in iTunes
         3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
         4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
         5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
         6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
    If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
    I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
    Thank you.
    Chris

    What battery life are you getting?  Is it short when you are using the iPod? When it is sleeping?

  • I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an IPod Touch.  I would like to be able to sync music in two areas.  Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this?  And, if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?

    I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an iPod Touch. I also have a Verizon MiFi.  I would like to be able to sync music to two locations.  Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this, and if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?

    No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

    Hello All!
    I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
    I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
    I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

    I have a 3GS and the ios is 4.3.4.   I am trying to load the latest version so I can then get the icloud.
    So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
    Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
    As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will.  This is how iOS upgrades work.  The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
    All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
    Close iTunes
    Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
    While holding SHIFT launch iTunes.  iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one.  Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

  • Multiple Problems with itunes...PLEASE HELP

    i'm crossing posting this to try and get as much help as possible, so i'm sorry if you see this in a bunch of places.....
    i posted awhile back and didnt get much help and i'm still having problems with itunes
    first of all when i open itunes it attempts to do the gapless playback stuff....if i let it do it....it gets half way through and freezes....but if i stop it before it freezes, i am able to play music BUT not import any songs from cd, ipod, or downloading software....
    so, i deleted the library and imported "iTunes Music Library.xml"....then i went into my itunes folder and started dropping the songs into itunes...and i got about 3/4s of my music (about 25 gigs) and it starts to freezes when looking for album covers....if i force quit and reopen the song will be in there...just not the album work....which is fine....but if i have to force quit every time i import a song, its going to get rediculous....i have tried deleting the library and importing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file about 6 times now, with the same results.....
    ALSO...when i connect my ipod to my computer (i have 80 gig 5G) it will freeze while syncing....
    i honestly have NO idea what to do....any suggestions would be welcomed...thanks....

    modulatetome,
    See if these articles help to narrow down the issue:
    First: How to recreate your iTunes Library
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    - You stated you had " deleted the library and imported "iTunes Music Library.xml", so verify steps in article are what you've done, or try them again.
    Second: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    - You can use this to open iTunes with an empty Library, import one CD and test how iTunes works.

  • Problem with iTunes and/or updater software??

    I just bought a brand new 30gig iPod video. I followed apple's "instructions" and installed iTunes and the iPod software off of the included cd. I then connected my iPod and it charged but itunes never recognized it. Windows can find it (it appears as an external disk drive in my computer and iPod in other places) but iTunes doesn't recognize it at all. I have tried resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes/ipod software using the install cd, i have tried downloading the latest software from apples website and installing it that way, I have tried everything but restoring the ipod because the updater software won't even work. every time I try to use it, it just says "Service Error". I really have no idea what to do. The iPod seems to work fine, it turns on, turns off, windows seems to recognize it, but iTunes won't recognize the iPod and the iPod updater software doesn't seem to work at all. The last thing I am going to try is wiping my computer harddrive (it needs it for other reasons, not just this iPod problem) and starting completely fresh with nothing or very little installed besides iTunes and the iPod software.

    The article posted in the first response is a great place to start. If that doesn't work, try these out as well:

  • Problem with iTunes and low quality playback on headphones

    So I have an awesome pair of Phillips headphones that are awesome and recently i've been using my headphones and noticed that during playback the audio quality was not what it used to be. Crackily on the high notes and fuzzy on the bass notes plus overall just bad quality. I investigated more and isolated the problem to itunes and not my headphones. They work perfectly on an ipod or when I play a video on youtube. So I am wondering what is wrong. I assume it as something to do with iTunes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
    -Winfield

    I did try adjust the sound enhancer originally (should have noted that). It helped with some of the notes, did not fix. Where is the equalizer in 10.6?

  • Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

    After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
    A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
    How can I restore everything back to normal?
    Matt

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.
