Switching between music and Video

Hi,
When I switch from Music to Video and back again I lose my place. For example I may be on track 1000 of my 2000 songs and then I go to watch a video and then I have to start my music again from track 1. Is there anyway around this so I don't lose my position? You can reply to me at [email protected]

'Fraid not.

Switching my music and videos to another computer

well i'm not sure how to keep all of my music
i have videos on itunes on both computers, but i was afraid to try to upload because i thought it would delete my library and stuff so is there a way it wont delete??
thank you!

was afraid to try to upload
Upload from what to what?
Just copy the music, then File -> Add folder to library on the new computer.

How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices: macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly. first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external. that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music. the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly. every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv.
next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows. music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store. but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got. i get no shared music or videos here at all.
by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes. each device talks to one another. i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files. appletv shares everything. i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network. i should be able to do this, right?
also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
thanks

im more than a little disappointed here. can anyone recommend another forum please?

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one? I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account) I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch. Now she has an ipad.

No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

How do I transfer all music and videos from one computer to another?

I need to transfer my music and videos that are in itunes from my laptop to my new desktop, and I dont want to lose anything because when I update my ipod it will be takin off, right? Please tell me how I go about doing this, thanks a bunch!!

There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:
New PC & moving iTunes library
iTunes: Copying music between authorised computers with iTunes for Windows
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder
Also If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to iTunes on a different computer. Change the setting before connecting it to your new PC:
Using iPod with Multiple computers

Yes.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

"Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

Hello all,
I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
Help, please!

iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

Disappearring music and videos from my iPad

Every since I purchased and downloaded the entire Beattle catalog several days ago, my iPad iTunes has acted up. Music and videos disappeared from my iPad only to reappear when resyncing. After my last resync i began a businss trip without my MBP that I use for syncing. . As before, my music disappeared and reappeared several times, sometimes partially, sometimes not. In between I would redownload my music only to have the music reappear with multiple copies.
Now a tv show I purchased from iTunes store several weeks ago and was watching last night has disappeared.
Any idea what's happening and what the solution is?
And by the way how can you delete music that's in the download queue in tunes on the iPad. Not pause but delete.
Thanks.

You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
The music sync is one way -computer to ipad. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers
Brett

Is it possible to restore music and videos deleted by itunes

as the title states is it?
today i updated my ipod touch to 1.1.5. and i have jailbroken it before but the jailbrake was gone so i decided to go and back up my music on my brother's laptop which already had itunes on my account of his laptop. but when i went to connect my ipod. i descovered all my music was gona and on the ipod section of the itunes. the memory staus of my ipod had all been noted as "others" and not "music" or "videos" like it usually does.
so with that being said. is there a way to restore the deleted music of my ipod?

1) Please use better English. I had to read your post 4 times before I understood what you were talking about. This made me not want to help you, but I'm going to try anyway.
2) You cannot copy music from your iPod onto your computer. This is because Apple doesn't want to be caught with lawsuits the same way as Napster and others did in the past.
3) If you copied music from your computer to your iPod without going through iTunes, it will be registered as "other" because it is noted as data space, not music space, same as if you copy documents or other stuff to use your iPod as a USB flash device. This is probably the root of your problem.
4) iPods (in general), as far as I know, do not know how to distinguish between music and non-music in their data space. Therefore, you will mot be able to play music copied to your iPod without going through iTunes. I don't know how Jailbreak works, but I presume it allows you to do this, which is likely the source of your confusion.
If you have all your music in your data space, which seems to be the case, here's something you can try (although no guarantees it'll work):
1) Go into iTunes, with your iPod plugged in.
2) Go into your iPod statistics (where it shows space usage, etc).
3) Check the box near the bottom that says "Enable Disk Use" or something like that.
Your iPod should then mount on your desktop and allow you to access it as a normal flash drive. If, indeed, your music is in your data space, you should be able to copy it to your computer.
If that doesn't work, I think you're SoL. This is why you shouldn't jailbreak your iPod.

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!

Loss of Music and Video and 3rd party apps not working on 3G

I've had to restore my 3G iphone about 10x now. The phone keeps "losing" my music and video, and then the 3rd party apps don't work. A reset does not help, I have to restore my phone and set it up as a new phone each time. I went to the Genius Bar, they gave me a new phone, but said it was likely a software issue. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to fix it? I waste like 2 hours re-syncing my phone every time this happens. I'm so disappointed with this iPhone 3G...I wish I hadn't sold my original iPhone and could switch back to that. Please, any help that anyone can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

Easy way to switch between Headphones and Surround in

I'm looking for some sort of utility that can make it easier to switch between headphones and surround speaker setu
ps.
As it is right now, I use my headphones for FPS gaming and such but when I listen to music, etc., I want to then have XP go back to settings for 5. surround. I keep both my headset and speakers hooked up and just power off the speakers when I used my headphones.
Is anyone aware of a utility that can automate this?
At the worst perhaps just a tray icon that I can quickly select the desired setup but better would be a utility that watches the current apps and lets me tell it what the right settings are for each and change it on the fly.Message Edited by Agrajag on 0-08-200804:57 PM

i don't know of any way to automate this process.... i have speakers and a surround sound system, but my computer is usually set to the surround sound setting. i just leave it like that when i use my headphones. the headphones work alright when the surround sound setting is on, as far as i can tell. hope this helps
