Problems w/OS4; mucked up music

Ever since I updated to OS4, I've been having problems with my music/podcasts/Pandora app. Whenever something is playing, the sound will blink out, but the song/podcast won't pause. Very annoying. It will sometimes skip, but not too often. I've double checked that the shake to shuffle option is off, and I've also restored my iPod 4 times, and nothing seems to work. In fact, this last restore seems to have made things worse since now it won't let me sync. Any help?

Tracks from the iTunes Music Store are indeed copy-protected, so they cannot be used directly in any application other than Apple's own. You can, however, burn the tracks to an audio CD at which point it will behave just as would any other audio CD.

I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

Import the music and photos from the memory card with your computer and place the music in your iTunes library.
Place the photos in a folder to be designated for transfer to your iPhone.
Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer this music and any other music in your iTunes library and select Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes selecting the folder where these photos are located followed by a sync.

Problems with changes in iOS5 Music app on iPad

With iOS 5, massive changes have been made to the Music app that makes it virtually unusable for listening to podcasts. Weirdly, these changes were not made on the iPhone version, which still works fine.
My problems are these:
1.     Music App no longer shows which episodes of a podcast have been fully played, partially played, or not played.
2.     The 30-second re-play button is gone.
3.     The 1X - 2X - ½X playback speed button is gone.
These items aren't very important for playing music, but they're pretty critical for listening to podcasts. As I said, these features are still on the iPhone version of iOS5. It's like somebody decided that no one listens to podcasts on the iPad so they took them out. If that's true, then it's just me that's screwed.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to bring these features back? I've tried Apple Care and they didn't have a clue. And before someone suggests it, yes, I have submitted a comment to the feedback web page at Apple.
Thanks,
Rolando

I am with you.   4 out of 5 people in the office not longer are able to open email attachments(PDFs, jpgs, Office Docs) after upgrading to iOS 5 on iPhones or iPads. It seems to be from only from emails not from a Mac, iPhone or iPad. If you forward the message to youself from an Apple product, you will be able to open the attachment.
If called Apple support and they were not able to help after an 50 Mins. I'm going to re-install iOS to see if if works.

Please help me

I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205

Excessive data use is there a problem with OS4?

I posted this problem on the network section with no response, so I thought I would try here (inspite of the previous posters comments!Perhaps someone can help me?
Has anyone had problems with excessive data use since switching to the new iphone and 0s4? My data use (i'm with o2) has increased over 4 times in the first month! In the 18 months with the 3g i used an average of about 150mb a month, the the most ever being 176mb. In the first two weeks of using the new phone I had racked up 450mb! I have tried the following - no push emailing, switching off notifications, closing down all the apps on the multi-task!etc. I have even taken to switching off 3G and data. O2 have given me a new sim card when I talked to them about the problem. Whilst the problem has been reduced with these measure it hasn't gone altogether and i am not getting the use or enjoyment out of my phone as I did with the 3g(i'm to worried to use many apps incase the data use goes throught the roof again) . Since I bought the phone I have added a few new apps and have played with the phone a little more but there is no possible explanition for the the massive increase in data use (it tended to happen over night - but i'm told thats when the data use information is sometimes collected). My 02 billing and data monitoring on the phone seem to be inline so I think it must be a problem with os4 or the phone.I know i'm not alone with this problem and as others start to monitor the use of data with the new limited data use coming on stream I think this could become as big as the reception issue for apple. Help anyone?

Ovi maps problems with Nokia 5800 xpress music

Since Ovi updated the maps I've had trouble using it. I have version 40 firmware which was installed by Vodafone when my device expired. Despite the update, Ovi maps just crashes the phone when I try to use it. The screen goes blank and I get all coloured lines flashing down one side and the phone reluctantly restarts. Any advice please?

I am having exactly the same problem with my 5800 xpress music having updated to version 40.0.005.235.10 and installed the new version of OVI maps and the software Own Voice.
I have also tried reinstalling the sotware, restoring my phone to factory settings and resetting my phone by pressing the green, red and camera button whilst powering up. The problem persists. I will be making a call and within a few seconds of the call being connected the phone switches off and back on again. I also get the the coloured lines flasing on the screen.
Please Nokia Support, help us out.

Problem with move of iTunes music to external hard drive

My hard drive was getting full and I bought a new external drive and moved iTunes to it carefully following directions on ilounge and Apple support.
1. I first hit consolidate library and only moved the iTunes music file (as per the iLounge directions), then went to Preferences and changed the location of the music file to the external drive.
2. Itunes did not find the paths on the external drive.
3. I then tried to follow the Apple directions and here is when this went wrong. By hitting create new folder and consolidate music again, the whole music folder copied again to the eHD resulting in 10k duplicates.
4. However, this time the songs all worked, so now I had a duplicate problem. By checking these discussions I found an easy way to get rid of the duplicates by sorting by Date (meaning move date- the second time I copied the music file the move dates in all the songs was yesterday, and this was the link where all the songs worked.
5. I thought all was well after checking the music played and even testing remote on my phone, turning off the computer, restarting and confirming iTunes launched fine. Instead of following excellent advice many of you have posted on waiting a few days to check everything works before deleting the old music folder, as my internal HD was completely full I deleted it opening up 100GB of space.
6. Of course, I did not check everything- my playlists were all gone. The iTunes Library files are now both on the EHD and on the iHD but I cannot recreate the playlists. I suspect the playlists were all linked to the original music files copied the first time with the broken paths.
7. At this point is there any advice to recovering the playlists- I have them on an ipod and iphone. Worst case I will need to manually the Playlists.
8. Learning from my mistakes, NEVER, delete the original music folder till you are sure everythng works and even then wait a few days so you will have an opportunity to properly check everything.
9. Finally, I am at a loss to understand why the iLounge instructions did not work for me- only copying the music files to the eHD, leaving the Library files on the iHD, and changing Preferences to the new music file location.
thanks

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.

1st Generation iPod Touch Problems: First freezes, then no music

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else have had this problem.
My first generation iPod touch's screen stops working, but is responsive and the button and works, but since I need to slide it, I wasn't able to use it. When I plugged in my headphones, it fritzes. So I restored it to factory settings and everything is fine until I try to play music. I would click on any song, even the shuffle button, it would show that it would play, but suddenly stops and goes back to the song menu. I tried restoring a few times, but it still won't work. On top of that, when I leave it alone for a minute, it dies unexpectedly. It's been 2 and a half years since I got it. Anyone?

I have the exact same situation! My friend and I both have first generation iPod touches. My friends is 3 years old, however my iPod touch is only 1 year old because I got a new one because my last broke, still 1g. My friend was caught in the rain and got very wet once, and since then his iPod touch wifi hasn't worked. My iPod touch on the other hand has been very well looked after in a switch easy case.
My wifi used to work perfectly, until around september of last year my wifi stopped working. It searches for half a second, like it usually does when it knows there aren't anywhere networks near, and if I am really close to a router it will have 1 bar, but say unable to connect and always ask for password.
However today I had a breakthrough, even tho I haven't used my iPod in a while, I tried searching for wifi today and it worked perfectly, like brand new, I was really excited, I could even get full signal at the bus stop outside my house. 4 hours later, and it was back to square one, exactly the same symptoms as before. iPad and laptop are perfect as usual, my iPod has never been wet and I take great care of it. I don't think iOS has a big difference, as my friend is running like 1.? And I'm running 3.1.? The latest software. I've resetted many times, but no success. I'm going to call apple but please help incase they don't know.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,
B-rock

I would be grateful if someone could direct me to the where I can find the solution to the problem of most of my music not being available to listen too and the message ''your music cannot be found as the original file could not be found''

I have lost acess to most of my music in my itunes on my computer. I have a modern newish computer with windows 7 software and the latest version 11 Apple itunes software. Now all I get is amessage stating '' music cannot be found as original file cannot be found.'' I do not understand what I have to do to track down were the music is now filed as I understand that it somehow has been ''moved'' [how does this happen???] and itunes cannot find it.
Thanks, I suspect this is a common problem but quite disturbing after many years of using itunes.

Hi, spurrdoc.
Thank you for the question. The error that you are receiving usually indicates that the file or files are either missing completely from the computer or that the files are in a location that iTunes is set to read. This is easily correctable if the media is on the computer. The article below will help you locate your media.

I have also included an article walks you through moving your iTunes media or directing iTunes to the media folder once located.

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.
