Since installing iTunes 7 & firmware 1.2, I can't transfer songs to my iPod

So I upgraded my iTunes and my firmware and now when I try to drag and drop songs from explorer to my ipod within iTunes it says adding songs and then "Updating ipod do not disconnect" When that's done, no new songs show up. This also happens when just dragging and dropping into iTunes, although I couldn't care less about that as I use winamp, but for troubleshooting purposes....
It might also help to know that if I drag and drop more than a few songs (let's say >10), it never finishes the part where it says it's adding songs before interrupting with "Updating ipod." Also, I am not familiar with my ipod ever doing that when dragging and dropping songs. This makes me think this is not typical.
I'm curious if anyone else has this issue. It's quite useless to have an ipod that I can't add songs to. Thanks.

from what i've noticed in 7.0, there have been issues with dragging and dropping from outside of itunes into itunes. i've been having an issue where i'm trying to set album art by dragging pictures from either firefox or explorer to the itunes window and it doesn't work.
have you tried just dragging the songs from your library to the ipod? i'm surprised that the songs aren't already in your library and you haven't created a playlist to add to the ipod.. i think that was the intention of playlists and the ipod (manually adding playlists to the ipod, not auto sync).
i would suggest upgrading to 7.0.1 to see if that fixes the issue. i haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but it should solve many problems people have been having.

Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

Well, any easy way to find out is to do as I suggested, login to iCloud.com & try to locate the phone. Have you bothered to try that?
If that doesn't work, you'll have to let your battery run out, then try recovery mode.

Problems transfering videos to ipod since installing itunes 6.02

So, i just upgraded to itunes 6.02 and now i can't transfer videos onto my ipod. It tells me they aren't in the correct format or a format the ipod can play. Before i upgraded i had absolutely no problems. I have tried taking off files that uploaded fine with the previous version of itunes and uploading them with the newer version and they don't work either. I've got the latest updater software and that's made no difference.
I've used both Videora and Apollo ipod convertors and neither make any difference. I've tried both mpeg4 and h.264 formats, but that doesn't work either.
Why do apple bring out software that creates new bugs?!

I just bought a 5th gen and cannot transfer videos.
The videos are a computer format (could not play on TV) and I converted them to play on Ipod like help file stated. It stated that I can drag and drop to Ipod icon that shows when I connect the Ipod and use ITunes. Well no can do! It transfered to ITunes and will play in ITunes but cannot get to Ipod. My Ipod has a video section so I know I can have them on it. I tried with manual and automatic update selected.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jim

Since installing iTunes 7.3, all audio playback on CD/DVD drive skips

Hi,
I am running Windows XP home edition, and have recently downloaded iTunes 7.3.
Since installing iTunes, all audio playback via my CD/DVD skips/stutters. This occurs in all media playes, Windows Media, Sonic DVD etc. Audio files stored on the hard drive play back fine through these same programs. So far I have updated firmware and drivers for my CD/DVD drive and sound card.
I have looked on this site and Dells, and cant find any solutions as to what the problem may be.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Aidan

One thing you could try is to check your computer manufactures site to see if there is a firmware update for your CD drive.

Since installing iTunes 11 i can no longer update any of my devices???

Since installing iTunes 11 i am unable to transfer anything on to any of my devices, ie iPhone 5, ipad iPod iPhone 4, they all just say cannot be read or written too? Anyone having the same trouble?

I had exactly the same issue. The Devices under File were greyed out. I went back to the previous version of Itunes by installing the backup of Time Machine.

Strange behaviour since installing iTunes 7.1.1 upgrade, (my iBook that is)

Since installing iTunes 7.1.1 update only a few days ago strange things are happening.
1. Incorrect disc and track names
I insert a music CD, the usual question comes up: do you wish to import this CD into your iTunes library? I click on yes and wait a second the CD title and tracks are all wrong. usually it is something I imported a short while ago but once it came up with a disc title I must have imported like 6 months ago
Yes I remembered to check the box for automatic gracenotes access but still this error comes up. If unknown disc, and track 1, track2 etc came up that would make logical sense, but I never saw this before.
If I then click on Access gracenotes assuming the data is available it comes up correct.
2. Failure to recognise disc already imported
If I take out the disc and insert again the one I just imported, up comes the question again "do I wish to import?" I thought iTunes was smarter than that.
3. Plying audio affects slide bar action adversely
While checking through sound files in a Finder window, I play an aiff or MP3 file from the Quicktime style control bar displayed there, while the audio is playing the blue bubble at the bottom of the window does not move smoothly when I try to move left or right.
Note:
I've been trying to organise my music library onto a remote hard drive to free up hard drive space. I did this by copying the folders out of the default iTunes music folder into another iTunes music folder on the hard drive such that all the other related folders are present in the main iTunes folder. Could this move be the source of my problems?
iBook G4, 1.07 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Here is the latest on the iTunes problem.
Focussing on iTunes issues only, (I think there are some system issues which I will try to resolve in the appropriate forum).
1. About 6 months ago my hard disc was so full of music fies I moved most of my iTunes music folder content to DVDs for later transfer to an external HD drive.
2. Now I have a small portable HD onto which I have copied all iTunes music folder content into one place. I created a new folder called 'iTunes music' and within Finder I moved the files and re arranged and re-named some of the subfolders to make better sense of the library structure. Incidentally some of the folders seemed to have got locked, and marked as owned by the system? I don't understand how this happened.
3. When I run the iTunes 7 application it finds the new music folder but only a fraction of its true content is displayed as playlists in the left hand column.
4. Thinking that the application would create its own (updated) ' iTunes library' file if it did not find one in the iTunes folder when launching, I moved the existing one to another folder, but the same incomplete list appears!!
So the question is please,
how do I get the application to construct a new and complete iTunes library file?
Have I really screwed things up?
There does not seem to be any reference to this kind of problem in the help files.

Can't add itunes library to my ipod etc since installing itunes on my new computer. HELP!

I have just installed itunes on my new PC and am trying to add some songs onto an ipod. The songs were purchases from the Itunes store. I go through the process of drag and drop onto the device (its the same with my ipad and iphone) but it won't work. Since installing itunes on my new computer I have bought an album off itunes and it downloaded with no problems - but any of my old purchases won't transfer over. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I haven't as yet transferred over my music libray from my old PC (songs that I burnt ) so not sure if it would be the same. I would have thought that songs that have been purchased in itunes should easily transfer. Help please?

Move the files for your new purchases out to the desktop.
Migrate your library properly from your old computer as given below.
Move the files stored on the desktop into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.
Migrate iTunes Library
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

since installing itunes 11.1 i am unable to connect iphone/ipad to itunes?

Hey there Jantje1,
It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes and get an error message instead. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
If it comes down to uninstalling, then re installing iTunes altogether, use this link to download the 64 bit version of iTunes directly.

I am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP where can i get this

i am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP so stopping the upgrade. how do i upgrade itunes? I tried uninstalling but it can't find another file 389 so I can neither uninstall nor reinstall. Any thoughts please?

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter
