You cannot sync a shared library since it is not your music.

Syncing shared music to ipod

How do I sync my shared music to the ipod, or how do I transfer my shared files to my music? I have some shared files which are in itunes, but I can't get them to sync. Can you help me out? Thanks.

You can do it by being hooked up to the shared source and entering the itunes id and password of the person that you are sharing with. This authorizes you computer to play music. You then must hook up your ipod to your computer while you are hooked up to source. Only problem with this is that a person can authorize their music for 5 computers. I have done it and it works. Now I need to figure our what happens if we get new computers and exceed limit.

How to sync .avi files to iPod touch

I downloaded some.avi files (home movies) pn my MacBook. I watch them with Quicktime.
I would like to be able to put these files on my iPod touch... How do I do that?
Thanks!

Hello aclague,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
First, you will have to or can import the video into iTunes. Once you have done that, you will have to convert the video to a more friendly iPod format, because .avi files are not supported by the iPod Touch.
Use can use iTune's built in converter for this. Just control-click on the file and choose "create iPod or iPhone" version from the shortcut menu or select this option from the Advanced drop down menu.
When the video has finished converting, you can sync it to your iPod as long as you have set up your iPod to sync videos. If you haven't done so yet, this article should be able to assist you.
[Syncing Videos to iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1333]
Another option is to use a third party utility such as [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert the videos for you. Once converted, you can imported the newly converted video in iTunes and sync it to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
iTunes version 9.0.1.8
Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
How do I get this to work?

Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
Any suggestions would be helpfull

How to sync mp3 files to ipod when music stored in lossless

I would like to be able to convert my music collection, 300 GB in lossless, to mp3 to put on my 160 GB ipod. Can this be done and maintain the original file on my mac?

Create MP3 copies of the Apple Lossless songs in iTunes, and transfer only the MP3s to the iPod. You can't convert on the fly when syncing to an iPod other than the iPod shuffle, and the iPod shuffle method produces AACs.

Trouble syncing iTunes files with iPod. Help!

Hi. Newbie, so be gentle.
I have a lot of songs on my computer. Sometime in the past couple of months, something prevented me from updating certain song files (and the files would vary). What would happen is the iPod would go through the syncing process and get hung up on one song (visible in the the status bar in iTunes). After it gets hung up, the syncing process would stop and I'd get the "OK to disconnect" message, but the file never showed up. On occasion, deleting the song and attempting to resync would make the iPod usuable again (and then I'd just have to reload the song and try again--sometimes that would work, other times it wouldn't).
After numerous problems with this, I talked to a rep at my local Apple store, who suggested that restoring my iPod would be the best solution. So I did. After taking multiple attempts to restore, I finally got the iPod blanked out. But now when it tries syncing to get all of my songs back, it again gets hung up on one song and stops attempting eventually. So from almost 5000 songs on my iPod, I've gone to 14.
Please help! I don't want to buy another iPod (especially because I don't know whether this is a hardware issue with my iPod or a softeware issue with my iPod or iTunes--buying another iPod isn't a guarantee that the same thing won't happen). Hoe else can I troubleshoot this issue?

Sad to say, but I think you have some corrupted music files.
Those are the worst to filter through....
My iPod was doing something similar. Wouldn't update. I finally found the bad file. It wouldn't play in WMP or winamp either, so it wasn't just iTunes being funky.
Luckily mine were like, 5 bad files in a row. Otherwise it takes forever to isolate which ones are causing it.
You could send feedback, I guess...if iTunes finds a bad file, then skip it, instead of shutting down the entire sync process. Maybe if enough of us send this suggestion, it will be implemented.

I bought a new computer, and i have transfered everything using home share, file transfers, etc.. yet still when i go to sync, itunes tells me ipod can only be synced with one computer... is there a way to retire the relationship with the old computer?

i bought a new computer. the itunes app allows for home shareing, file transfers, etc.. but i want to discontinue the syncing with the old computer and sync my ipod touch now only on my new system... but i cant seem to disconnect that old relationship at all.. when i try to syncit says that my ipod is already synced with another computer, do i want to discontinue that and only use the new informationon this computer? i dont want to do that yet because it doesnt seem like everything has come over, and i am afraid of losing songs that i downloaded from cds, etc..

if you don't want to sync it because you don't think that everything has been transferred then i would check first if you can, before you commit to used only the data from your new computer.
though, im not sure if this is true, but i think that when you sync your ipod to a new computer it will take the items from your ipod and put it on itunes, like when you purchase something on your ipod and it gets automatically transfered, but don't take my word for it.

Can't Play Shared ITunes Files On Ipod Only

Ok, I've looked at all the shared files posts, but couldn't find this scenario. I've also looked at the how-to shared threads.
My fiance and I are running two Ipods (one 30G Video and a 4G Mini) on one PC w/ Win XP under 2 different profiles and two different ITunes Accts. I've enabled sharing under both profiles.
Our music is not in the shared folder and we can add files to each others ITunes Manually, and that is fine. (we didn't want them together)
She can add actual ACC files that I downloaded from ITunes and play them on her Ipod, no problem.
BUT, i can add her song to my playlist and can play those ACC files fine through ITunes, but they just won't play on my Ipod, any ideas? It just skips over them... I don't even get a message for authorization...
Anything else I download from her ITunes playlist (like cd, mp3 and limewire files) all work fine and play on my Ipod, just not the ITunes files she downloaded and purchased...
Any ideas, this is driving me nuts...
PC Windows XP

Try deauthorizing both of the accounts (from the Store menu in iTunes). Then Restore the iPod, and re-authorize both accounts in iTunes. Then make sure you can play songs from both accounts in iTunes, hook up the iPod and sync them over.

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Can I sync database files over to Mobile Me and then from MobileMe to iPod?

Many programs will allow you to sync over Mobile Me and but not over a USB connection. Can I sync the files on my Mac to Mobile Me and then sync them to my iPod when I am somewhere that has a WiFi connection? I am asking this because the place I work does not have WiFi and I need to have a WiFi connection to sync database files (such as OmniFocus, Billings, and Bento.)

"I hope they fix this in a later update."
I don't think that it is broken. I think that it is intentional ( by design). Possibly to make it more difficult to use ipod touch to pirate/steal music/movies/etc.
The ipod touch and iphone have never had this feature.
Who knows?

I recently bought a new computer and had all my files moved to it. Now when I sync my iPad and iPod I get a message stating that some (41) of my items can not be copied to my PC because it is not authorized even though it is authorized on my account.

I recently got a new PC and had all of my files moved to it. However, when I sync my iPad and IPod nano I get a message that states that 41 of my items can not be copied to the PC because it is not authorized on my account even though it is. I have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it but they still will not copy. Any thoughts on how I can get them to copy?

"Note: If you no longer have access to a computer that is using one of your authorizations, you can deauthorize all of the computers associated with your account by following the steps at the bottom of About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization".
Authorize the new computer. Launch iTunes. Go to the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

can anyone help?

Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
BTW... you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

How to transfer files from my ipod classic to itunes on a new computer? I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.

I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.
now I have a new computer - andI want to transfer those files to my itunes.
BUT I can only transfer music I bought through the Apple store.
That's WRONG!
I spent money on cds - yes I'm old fashioned.
I want to listen to audiobooks on my CD so that's how they were recorded onto itunes and sync'd to my ipod.
Now it's a waste if I press the sync button!
I spent hours downloading cds to itunes on the other computer - which I will be getting rid of soon.
Please help.
