Problems restoring and managing music
hi,
when i connected my ipod 30gb color photo to my computer to put songs onto it, i got about 1,500 on and then it stopped putting songs onto it and told me that the ipod was "corrupt". when i disconnected the ipod i could still listen to music, but could not put more music onto the ipod. i then restored the ipod "using the same software already on the ipod", then tried to put songs on again and the same thing happened.
can anyone help me?
Try this:
1 - Open up "My Computer".
2 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format".
3 - Select the Format type to be "FAT32".
4 - Now click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
5 - After the formatting is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod again in iTunes, to load the firmware and settings back onto your iPod again.
See if that does anything.
If that does not affect your "corrupt" message, try running ChkDsk on your iPod, and see if it says that there are any problems with it.
For information on how to run chkdsk, see this MS document on it:

Best practise to transfer and manage music to my L...
Hi,
First of all I'm not new to Nokia, I've managed my Nokia N8 through Windows Media Player and it was rock steady.
Now I've got the Lumia 920 and I've used Winamp, Windows Media Player and recently I've tried the official "Nokia Music Player".
Winamp:
- Sometimes when I transfer playlists or songs, it fails transferring it. Probably due to that Winamp plays everything (downloaded) and even with bad tags.
- You don't know how the music will be displayed on your device, like album artist or album and album artwork doesn't always comes through.
- If something fails and you transfer it again, you get doubled songs.
+ Great UI, quick and if it works it's baddass
Windows Media Player:
- Don't like the media library and changing details it's a hassle.
- Album artwork doesn't always comes through.
+ Very robust syncing! Even with playlists
Nokia Music Player:
- Doesn't show some mp3 files, which are playable in WMP, Winamp and even on the phone! You need to import these files separately, but after a refresh these are gone.
- Focks up your created playlists in WMP or Winamp.
- Does strange stuff, like copies track (which are transferred) back to your PC in his own directory structure
+ Shows the best what's actually on your phone
+ Gives an actual presentation how it will be presented on your phone. E.g. if some details(album art) aren't right in the library then they also won't be right on your phone.
So like above, no product is perfect. I haven't tested Zune or Itunes, so hopefully other users could post their experience.
I guess there are more posts like this one, but the problem with searching like "nokia music player" you get results which aren't related to transfer and managing music.Connect the phone to the PC. Open the folder you want to copy using windows explorer. Copy music files. Right click & select send to Windows Phone. For help regarding Playlists go to the link below:
Playlist WP8
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

can someone please help me with this. I got a fully restored iPod Classic I was able to transfer only 211 song that I purchased from iTunes on to my iPod I have successfully transfer music from my computer into iTunes but when I go to transfer that music to my ipod it starts to transfer and then it locks up on the computer..my iTunes is up to date and so is the iPod I have restarted my computer and resync several times I've dealt with this issue all day and I'm still struggling and not having no luck
Leaving an iPod in a car is a bad idea, aside from the theft potential. The extremes of heat and cold that a car can face can damage the internal hard disk. Remember, an iPod classic is not like the newer devices: it is like your older desktop computer with a physically spinning hard disk, with reading heads floating microns above the disk. Heat and cold creates expansion and changes tolerances.
I'd suggest bringing the iPod inside, and leaving it inside for at least 24 hours to let it come to temperature equilibrium. Try that first.
Your response didn't address the other side of the equation: the iTunes you sync to. Have you updated iTunes recently or any other component? Install any drivers? Change the port where you plug in the iPod? Install any new security software, such as antivirus, that wasn't present when it was last able to synch? -
ITunes Mantch and managing music folder structure
Hi,
My current music collection is organized on disk using a folder structure of [ARTIST] > [ALBUM] with the songs in the Album folders. If i enable Match and then delete my music and redownload it. will Match default to some kind of logical /file folder structure or will the subsequest downloads be random? Hope the question makes sense. Thanks in advance...iTunes Match works well with the iTunes options to organise your library - found under the advanced preferences tab. Using this approach typical organisation is by artist by album.

Drag and drop music in iTunes not working
Hi all,
I am having problems dragging and dropping music in iTunes from my media library to my iPhone music library. The only possible way to import music is to sync playlists (which I hate doing). Does anybody else have this problem?
Thanks!You need to make sure that your settings allow you to manually manage music. I believe it is a check box on the main settings page for your iPhone.

My Itunes is no longer allowing me to manage my music on my phone i can no longer select on my iphone to make playlists and delete music. Please help fix my problem. Iphone4s, 32gigs, IOS 7.1.2
I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!
It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do? -
Big Trouble! Manually manage music and videos problem
Alright, so I've just checked the Manually manage music and videos box. But now when I uncheck it, it says that all my existing content on the iphone will be replaced with the content on my iTunes library. The thing is, I just clean out my entire itunes library so if i uncheck it, all my music will be gone. Help please.

Why?! Where is your backup?
New empty library or did you clean out the existing one? If the latter then steps 1 & 4 aren't really necessary.
You should be able to:
Backup the device.
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library.
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup. This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

When I statred iTunes match I lost some of my music and all my playlists, has anyone had this problem? And can I restore it?
Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices. -
i had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?
It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links. -
How can I back up and restore my manually managed music from an old iphone to a new one?
At present, when I go to restore from a previous back up, my music is never transferred to the new device. I assume this is because I have the manually manage music option selected.
Is there a way to back up and add the same music and playlists etc from old iPhone to new iPhone without selecting the box that transfers everything from itunes?
As I have far more music than my iphone could ever take and I only want a selection. So if there is no way of doing this then I have to do it manually everytime? A very long winded task to go through entire itunes library picking it all out again!?!
Any help would be appriciated!?Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future! -

So I got a brand new iPhone 4 from a Sprint retailer, and it came with the software that was available at the time of the release. I left it that way for a while and put music on it through iTunes (latest version as of 11/20/2012) with no problems. Then I updated the software on the iPhone to iOS6.0.1 and when i tried to put music on it through iTunes like normal the songs showed up in the library of the iPhone (still on the computer) however they were grey and they had a syncing symbol to the left as if it were still syncing the music. I waited and waited but it would not go away. then I clicked the arrow at the middle top of iTunes where it shows you what song is playing and everything else iTunes is doing, and it did not say that it was syncing the music like normal. Basically the library indicated the music was still syncing but iTunes was not putting it on. I currently have it set to manually manage music. I do not want to switch it to automatically sync or reset my iPhone because I will lose my information. Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated!
When I went to restore my phone, I may have found the cause of these problems. I never deleted all of my original synced songs before enabling iTunes Match.
When I just went to do the restore, I figured I'd delete all of my songs, then disable iTunes Match. After deleting about 3.5 GB of music and disabling iTunes Match, I ran the sync to backup my iPhone. It said there was still 2.2 GB of music. I checked my phone just in case and there was 2.2 GB there, probably the original synced songs that I never removed.
Anyway, I'm doing the restore now just in case and will respond tomorrow with how everything is working. -
After doing some actions with my iPod Touch 4G, ALL my music AND video library turned grey, or rather, after pressing the Music app, I received the message, along the lines of "There is no music." This is on my Mac laptop with an older version of itunes, my main music is however backed up on my desktop Mac.
Actions and settings that i took which may have caused the grey-out or loss of my music and videos.
1. Manually manage music and videos.
2. Unchecked and rechecked a song, out of sheer interest (this may be the problem) whilst on my laptop
3. Managing files inside the iPod, using another desktop application whilst the iPod was in my laptop.
The situation
All music appeared grey in my iPod
Majority of VIDEOS LOST.
Retrieved most of MY music from my Home Mac via iTunes auto-sync
Friend's music is LOST (greyed out and unplayable in iTunes)
My attempts to retrieve lost music and videos:
1. Removed my iPod from laptop and attached my iPod to my desktop Mac, and it automatically synced, retrieving the music i had. The music my friend had recently lent me, that is, put in my iPod via his iTunes on PC APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LOST. My music is in black font on the iPod, but the music my friend had gave me is in light grey/gray font.
Where did this video and music go? Did i delete the music and videos?Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore. -
ITunes automatically unchecked "Manually manage music and videos"
Hey all, hope everything is well.
I have a frustrating problem that I don't know how to fix on my own.
So last night when I plugged my iPhone in to put some songs on, everything worked normally. I was able to edit the info and all that jazz, but today when I plugged my iPhone in...I noticed that I cannot add/delete/edit any of my music. I went into the Summary tab and seen that the "Manually manage music and videos" box is unchecked?! When I check it and apply, it says my iPhone is synced with another computer and all my data will be erased. I have spent 2 days doing album art and editing every single track info and the reason why it p*sses me off is because all of the edited songs on my iPhone are not edited in my iTunes library, so...if I do erase and sync, I would have to do everything over again for approx. 780 songs.
I guess it`s kind of my bad that I didn`t do all the editing/album art in the library THEN put the songs on my phone.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone maybe knows why iTunes decided to uncheck "Manually manage music and videos" for me.
Thanks and take care!You should be able to extract any media not in your library with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings.
If your IPhone has previously been managed from this library then application settings and data should be alright. If you transfer any missing purchases into the library with iTunes, recover any other media using third party tools and then backup the device you should be able to immediately restore the device from the backup to make sure that the device and library are properly paired.
