  • "timed out" error while transferring music and videos

    Hi,
    I use iTunes 8.1.0.52. When i connect iPhone and start transferring music or videos it simply throws out "device timed out" error. What do i do? do i have a solution for this problem? My iPhone is updated with latest software 2.2. Any suggestions?

    try using a different USB port on your computer. i've seen this before in the forum, and the problem was a bad USB port.
    are you plugging in directly to your computer, or through a USB hub? from what i've seen, you can not use a USB hub.

  • Transfering Music and Photos to New MacBook

    Hi.I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro and have just recently purchased a brand new MacBook. I was wondering what the best way to transfer all my music and photos to my new mac would be. I have a big external hard drive so would it be worth just copy the root folders on to my external and then transferring them to my new Mac. There is a lot of junk on my old MacBook so I don’t want a straight transfer I just want to be able to transfer the items that I want to keep.
    Thanks Matt

    If you have a FireWire Cable, then another idea could be Target Disk Mode, which is explained here:

  • Transferring music and videos from Time Capsule to ATV??

    Can you transfer content from the Time Capsule to the ATV directly? I have many songs and tv shows that I have saved on my Time Capsule so as to not take up space on my Macbook Pro. It seems like a pain to have to bring that content onto my laptop then to the apple TV, then to conserve space, take back off of the laptop. Isn't there a way just to transfer from Time Capsule directly to ATV?
    Thank You

    No, there isn't.
    However! In Itunes, click on itunes on your menu bar, then prefs. Go to advanced and untick 'copy files to itunes music folder'
    You'll then be able to add whatever you want to itunes, and thus, your appleTV without any content residing on your macbook pro

  • Down load paid music and videos again. new laptop, ipod broke.

      Windows XP Pro  

    Your computer has to be authorized to use your iTunes content: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    And you can only sync to one computer at a time. Each time you change to another iTunes library, your content will be erased and replaced with the content of the new iTunes.

  • Music and videos gets corrupted after syncing

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. It first started when I was using an old laptop to sync my iPod touch 4th gen. Not just syncing, just transferring music and videos. But the videos get corrupted after transferring the file from the laptop to ipod. I thought it was the cable but as soon as used a faster laptop, the videos were transferred without any corruption issues. I reformattd the laptop as it might have some malware or other softwares interrupting the usb transfer but it still gets corrupted. So I thought, the communication between pc and the new ipod system might be too much for an old intel core duo @ 1.6ghz to handle.
    Now, I am using a laptop with intel core 2 duo @ 2.0ghz. The corruption issue is now returning. The music can be played but when playing, it seems like it's jumping, stuttering or something. Please note that it can be played but it sounded like a bad interrupted download.
    For the old laptop, the videos are usually the ones the gets corrupted. For the new laptop, it happened recently during a massive sync I performed. I wonder if there's a usb buffer thing that gets full.
    Anyway, is there a way to prevent this or check which mp3s are corrupted? I have plan to copy all the mp3s using TouchCopy, then compare the mp3s to my source mp3 using BeyondCompare.

    You can't copy music from a i device to a Mac computer. Only from a Mac computer to a i device. So you will have to copy over your iTunes library from your old computer to your new Mac.

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    My itunes PC no longer works.  How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC.  Apple do not provide that facility.  It can be done with third party software though.  There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

    I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G.  My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes.  The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync.  During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync"  then immediately goes to "finished syncing".   No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
    It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
    - If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
    --- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
    iOS: How to back up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

    If the old laptop was a mac also, then use your Time Machine backup to restore you user settings and files.

  • Trying to sync new music i got on my mac which is my new computer to my iPhone and erase and sync is saying it will replace the contents of my phone. Does it mean Photos also or just Music and Videos?

    I got a Mac and i downloaded new music on it and im trying to sync the music on this computer to my iPhone which is hooked up to another iTunes and iTunes is saying " An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes Library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library" does this mean that it will also erase my photos or just my music and videos ?? if it does is there another way to sync with out all my contents being deleted??

    You can only sync one iTunes Library from Mac to iPhone.
    And just so are you aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged, thus merging content > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • I need "synchronize" my music and videos from my ipod to my new laptop

    I buy a new computer but I don't have my music there. Can I copy all music and videos from my iPod to the new laptop?

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
