Problems storing music on new touch

my new ipod touch can store as much music as my old one! it says ~2,000 songs is like 13GB...does that make sense? does it have to do with the new iso software reading the music files on my crappy HP laptop whic is running on vista? will this imrpove once i get an imac?

u know i asked the apple support if i should do this and they didnt say to do it. so check that box then tyry to sync my whole library?
then i'm not crazy that 2,000 doesn't equal 13gb?!?
thanks - i hope this works!

Problem streaming music with New Apple TV- Anyone else?

I am new to Apple TV. I have been using a Sony BDP580 (DLNA) to stream my FLAC digital music via a wired LAN. It works flawlessly. I just got the new Apple TV for streaming. I set it up and home shared with my Itunes library containing AIFF digital music via same wired LAN. It sees everything but each time I start a song, it plays for about 35 seconds and then starts studdering and hestitates, finally stopping altogether and displays an error message saying, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." This happens everytime, with any song I select.
I assumed this was a buffering problem, so I tried same songs again but this time paused them immediately after starting the song. If I paused for 15-20 seconds, I got about 2.5-3 minutes of music before it did it's studdering thing and stopped altogether. If I paused for 90 seconds or so, I could get thru an entire 10 minute song. Seems to confirm a buffering problem.
I have not tried streaming MP3's yet but that is not my intention.
I realize that the software is new but this is basically unuseable as it currently functions. I am considering trying to return the the Apple TV. Are there similiar kinds of problems when new Apple TV software is released? If so, is Apple quick with fixes and updates?
By the way, I also got a new IPAD and love it.

I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

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.

Problems purchasing music from new iTunes

Installed new iTunes, now some music only downloads the digital booklet for the album, and some single songs do not download. They do not show up in recent puchases, although they appear in my account as purchased.

I can individually re-download each song from the initial search page and then they show up. The "Report a Problem" button does not work on either the music receipt or from the accounts page.

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!

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.

Problem moving music to new computer

I have just attempted to move my music from my iBook G4 to my new aluminum MacBook, running iTunes 8.1+, using my iPod Nano (3rd generation). I carefully followed the instructions in Article: HT1329. My music shows up in the Music/iTunes folder on my new computer, but does not show up in iTunes when I open the program. WTH?? Help!!

No, that didn't actually solve my problem, but it did lead me to compare files from iPod and my computer. I discovered that the iTunes Library file that was on my new computer was much smaller than the one on my iPod, so I simply recopied the entire iTunes folder from my iPod and voila! there was all of my music in iTunes on my new computer! Thanks for guiding the way into the light

Problem storing music on external hard drive and iTunes recognising the music.

Hi hope someone is able to help.
I've set up iTunes on my parents windows Laptop to store all the music on an external hardrive. In preferences and in advanced I altered where the music was located. But unfortunately when they removed the external and went to use it a few days later, iTunes did not recognise where the music was stored.
There is no music in the iTunes folder on the laptop only on the external.
I deleted all the music that could not be located...all had exclamation mark.
Added folder to library, which was from the external hardrive.
Music re added and they were able to put music on their ipod. However the same has happened again when they removed and reinserted their external. Should I just cut my losses and reput all the music back on the Laptop (makes it very slow, quite alot of it) or am I missing checking or deselecting something in itunes, with it being on an external hard drive.
Hope to hear back from someone to help.

If you've split the media folder out to an external drive and then start iTunes while the drive is disconnected iTunes gets out of sorts. It will reset the media folder to the default internal path. Depending on what other devices have been connected the external drive letter may also change from time to time which also confuses iTunes. What works best is to create your iTunes library at the root of the external drive, with the media folder inside. In this confuration if the drive isn't connected or has changed letter, iTunes will stop with an error. You can either cancel, connec the drive, and restart, or in the case of a changed drive letter, simply browse to X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl to open it, where X:: is the current letter for the external drive.
See make a split library portable for details of how to rearrange your library if you've got it working. Alternatively press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, keep holding until asked to choose or create a library, then click create and make the library at X:\iTunes. Move all the media inside X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, then use File Add Folder to Library to import it.

Problems with music on ipod touch 4g

I've had my ipod touch 4g for about a month i believe. Problems sooned started to arraise such as the artwork was all jumbled up together while playing songs and the songs themselves skipped about 3 or 4 seconds into it, including during mid play it plays the entire song at the beginning. Songs play fine in itunes but when i play those same songs on my ipod touch it just has the same problems. My ipod touch is up to date and itunes is as well. I thought that the recent updates would solve these problems but i guess not. Could it be just something wrong with the ipod touch itself ? cause im really considering to just return it and never buy another apple product again.

Hi,
Try backing up your iPod and restoring it from backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
Hope this helps!

Problem Playing Music on New Computer

My laptop crashed, so I recovered my itunes library off my old laptop hardrive and uploaded it to my new laptop. Everything transferred, however when I try and play my downloaded music only it says my new laptop isn't authorized. I tried to go through the process of authorizing this computer and since I now have a new account it won't let me access the old account for authorization. When I put in my old password for my old account it's not registrating it and therefore not allowing me to authorize this computer. Any ideas?????

Hi, I am not sure why you made a new account. Anyway. You have to authorize with t he old account, since each download has the account name embedded in it.
Sign out of the itunes store
itunes menu > Store > Sign out
Then sign back in with the old account and authorize the new PC while signed in.

TS3716 My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music. I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence. Could you help?

My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music. I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence. Could you help?

Hey, Thanks a lot. It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod. I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new. This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted. Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song. It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works. Yea!!! I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information. This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone. Take care, Karen

Problem moving previously purchased music to my new Touch

When I attempt to transfer a song I had purchased into my new Touch and I get an error message that the song can not be transfered because the computer is not authorized to play it. I have tried authorizing the ocmputer, and reauthorizing, and that has not worked. Suggestions or explanations?

Did you try deauthorizing the computer then authorizing?
Also, are you logged into the same account that is on the Touch?

First try this:

This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

How do I get my music off my old Mac and onto my new Touch?

My Mac is unable to download the new itunes software and is unable to sync with my 4th Gen ipos touch. How do I get my music onto the touch?

Transfer the music to a computer that can sync with your iPod.
If your Mac has OSX 10.5.8 this may work:

New Touch Missing Movie Rental/Game "In-App Purchase" Sync Problems.

just picked up the new iPod Touch 4G (64GB) and am syncing to Win7 Starter (32bit).
I rented a few movies before I bought the Touch. They all seemed to download fine. the "Move" sync process seemed like it worked perfectly. When I looked back at my movies on my touch, some of them were missing. When I double checked my rental section in iTunes the movies were missing. I remember a dialogue later, saying that the file couldn't be found. I ran a quick windows search with no results.
So it seems like I could "Move" the movie fine, but after the sync finished, the files were gone from both the computer and the touch.
Could someone please explain this, and what I may do to recover those files? I did pay for them after all, and would still like to watch them. I just don't want to pay for them twice.
Also (another similar issue):
I downloaded and played the game "FieldRunners" fine, but then decided to do an "in-app purchase" for the next level. I clicked download/entered my info/ and it seemed to download correctly, but when I re-entered the app, the level was not available to play. just weird.
FYI: this is my first iOS device, so please don't flame me for newbie ignorance.
Any advice/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks.
Overall, Here is my experience with the new touch:
First Connection: Installation did not work. Unplugged / Replugged USB worked correctly. (no restart necessary).
Selecting content to sync: Did not detect Outlook 2010 (FULL/NOT BETA) for Contacts/Calendar/etc.
I chose not to sync this through iTunes, and instead setup an "Exchange" account on my iPod Touch through google (m.google.com). Works perfectly.
I have my other email addresses forwarded through gmail to take care of push notifications. I still don't have Outlook 2010 calendars synced with google yet, but I'll figure that out.
Then I noticed the other sync problems mentioned above.
Again, any help would be appreciated!

Hi Epski
Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?
