What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Songs transfer to a playlist instead of Itunes library

When I download a song, it automatically transfers to a playlist, and I can't burn or transfer those songs to other playlists. The icon beside the playlist that these songs transfer to is like the library icon, but it is dark blue. I think that I'll have to change a setting in my downloader (Limewire), but I've tried unsuccessfully. Help!!

Insert the stick into the USB port on your computer, and open it so it looks like a window.
Highlight the tracks you want in iTunes, and drag them to that window.
This procedure will put copies onto the stick without changing anything in your library.
(If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag-n-drop.)

Can I transfer troubled contents of my iMac into my MacBook Pro & back?

Can I transfer the contents of my iMac (4,1; 2 GHZ Intel Core Duo; 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) into my new MacBook Pro (8,2: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7); both with OS 10.6.7?
I was having trouble with 10.4.11 on my iMac, as shown here: Link: [discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2768285&tstart=0]. I went ahead & installed Snow Leopard & had automatic downloads of the updates.
I am having more trouble now. By the end of the day, I cannot type into browser address line, nor delete highlighted items, nor highlight multiple items. This is temporarily cleared up by restarting.
I previously have always kept my machine going while away from desk. Now, in the evening, it seems to go to sleep--even tho I have web pages that are supposed to refresh themselves automatically & iTunes radio station supposed to stay running.
Yesterday & today after being away, I could not make the screen turn on--although the iTunes radio was playing. This is temporarily cleared up by restarting.
1. Can this situation be fixed? Problems were not completely solved under Tiger.
Disk Repair indicated disk is OK. I have downloaded AppleJack; & each morning upon starting, it shows a full screen of permissions corrected of various forms of java in system library.

When some sort of update check runs, it shows a bunch of different missing bundle identifier:/library/receipts/...
Would this mean I should try to reinstall Snow Leopard again? (Then update that from my 10.6.3?)
2. I plan to add memory.
3. If necessary, I will buy & install a new hard drive.
Question for #2 & #3 (neither of which I have ever down before): If I transfer the contents of iMac hard drive to MBP, will it stay in a folder that I can transfer back, or does it all spread itself throughout the MBP?
If I install a new hard drive, will the transferred-back stuff still exhibit the same problems?
Thanks,

My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer. My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more. I want my library back on Itunes. ANy help?

My Ipod will not transfer songs. my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it. When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs. I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod. Any help?

so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library? since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct? So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer." Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct? while having the others on there that wont transfer?

TS2776 why does my computer give me a cant find files notice when syncing my ipod? only about 1/2 of the songs transfer to computer out of the ipod. and the file must be on the ipod because i can play the song on it. i want to transfer all songs to my ipa

why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks

Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party. It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did. There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over. The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

I connected my iPod to my new computer and only half the songs transfer.

How do i move all the songs that were on my iPod to the new computer?

Are they all from iTunes or CD's? Some of the songs from iTunes may have still DRM on them, and thus, may not transfer.
It may also be a few other items--Windows 7 may have issues with your iTunes, for example--and someone else may have thoughts that I don't right now.
Hang in there...we'll find an answer!

New PC purchase song transfer

I purchased a new PC- after 8 years, is there a way to sync the songs uploaded from CD's to my iTunes Music onto the new PC from the old PC?
I have only successfuly transfered songs purchased from the iTunes store..

The easiest way would be to buy iTunes match on the old pc. This way it would match your ripped cd library and give you access to those tracks from the iTunes store. Then you would simply turn on iTunes match on your new pc and voila all the songs would show up in iTunes. The other options are to manually re-rip your CDs OR use a flash drive or external hard drive and transfer your songs to this drive and then transfer them to the new pc and put them in User(your windows pc acct)/my music/iTunes/iTunes media. I'm not on my PC right now but I believe that's the right directory. If I were you I would use iTunes match since its just so convenient and you can access and download your music to your pcs, iPod touch, iPhone or iPad very easily and they will always be backed up in the cloud. $25 is a small price to pay for such a service! Hope this helps!

Some songs transfer, some won't, no rhyme or reas

Likeit says, I recently traded uh... "up", from a Zen touch to a Zen Vision:M, they both seem to have thisweird, sometimes a track will transfer, sometimes it won't, and the GUI freezes up on the stuch transfer box. Only occasionally will it give them the grace of a error box with the "transfer could not be completed due to an unknown error" (for the Touch), and the new "...because of a thread exit or application request" for the visionThese are just files I've encoded myself no stings attached, files I've downloaded, and any other kind, and it seems the same. I don;t see why it keep choking on them. Once they're in there, they work fine, but I'm down to reansferring them one at a time, and praying each one works...
and once it's got into it's mind that it won;t take a file, no amount of renaming/retagging/RE ENCODING will make it change its mind. If I use format, it *might* take it. but I'm still playing the roulettewheel that it will or won;t with any given file.. Odd, they transfer to the player's data folder fine, just not into music
Any help?
(XP: SP2 - did the same thing on straight XP)

Message Edited by ConstRucti've on 05-9-2006 0:45 PM

let's just doublecheck some things quickly. do any of the affected songs play in itunes at the moment? if so, when you play them, do they ask to be authorised?
if so, does the authorisation go through successfully, or do you get an error message? (if you get an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the authorisation seems to go through successfully, with the authorised songs sync to the ipod?

Help regarding song transfer on the Zen Mi

I just got my Zen Micro today in the mail, and I have a very big problem. Whenever I try to transfer songs, I do it the normal way: through the explorer in my computer. But, whenever I try to transfer an album or an individual song, very rarely does it actually transfer, and simply fails. I've played around alot with this, and have managed to get a few songs on here (around 30 out of an attempted 300), but am still stumped on how to get my music on the player sucessfuly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or can help me?

I've been playing around with the player a bit more, and I've discovered some new problems..
My Firmware is the factory preset one, and I cannot update it - it keeps telling me to reboot the device, I do it, and nothing changes, I still can't install it
I was able to add songs at one point. Then I used the player, I let it fully charge, and now I'm back to were I was.
The software I am using is the one included on the disk.
This is really beggining to bug me, and I'm contemplating sending this back, any suggestions?

PC to Mac song transfer problem

I've looked through tutorials on this, but haven't found a good answer, one that is specific to my situation.
I have an iPod Classic which is currently synced with a Windows computer; itt has 60GB worth of songs on it. I want to transfer all of those songs to a Mac, which already has a large amount of music on it -- which I absolutely need to keep intact. From that point on, I want to have the iPod sync with the Mac.
This is sort of a two-part question:
-How do I do this?
-How do I do this if I don't have access to the PC that the iPod is currently synced with? (Most of the tutorials cover this situation -- where I can go back, rearrange the music library, put the iPod in disk mode, etc. But still -- even those tutorials don't cover my specific situation, as mentioned above.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

when i was trying to transfer stuff from my pc to my mac, when i tried to initiate it on the mac, it was REALLY slow. when i initiated it on the pc, it went very quick. i did mine via firewire but was surprised that speed seemed to depend on which computer the transfer was initiated on. maybe try starting the transfer from the mac and see what happens?

Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).

I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

Log & Transfer Trouble

I've increased my ram so now the log and transfer works smoothly. Only now, several of the scenes are not transferring over to the Bin. The little ball twirls and the bar moves to completion. Then nothing. Once I touch it a red exclamation point appears. I was having this trouble before but fixed it with the increase in ram. Note: The clips have no pattern. Some are long, some are short. Any advice would be appreciated.

#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.
