Trouble putting music on HP Touchpad

Got a Touchpad for Christmas. Overall its going well, but I've run into a bit of a problem: putting music on it.
I have attached the Touchpad to my computer, gone into USB mode, and synced music from the computer to the Touchpad using Windows Media Player. WMP shows the music files are now located on the Touchpad.
When I eject the Touchpad and try to pull up the music icon, it tells me there is no music on the Touchpad. I've turned it off & back on again, it still doesn't show any music. Yet when I reattach it by USB to the computer - I can see the music files on the Touchpad. (Thru the 'my computer', view files option.)

My best guess is that the music you put on the TouchPad is in an incompatible format. Windows Media Player defaults to .wma for it's audio files and this file format is not supported on TouchPad. If you do a Google search, you'll find lots ot free utilities that can change .wma into .mp3. I'd also suggesting you change your ripper settings to rip music into MP3 by default: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-settings-for-ripping-music. MP3 is virtually universally supported and should make it easier to move music files from device to device without this kind of problem.

Trouble putting music videos into iTunes [please help]

I've already converted 9 music videos. And I've been successful in getting 5 of them on my iPod and they play fine. They all are in the correct MPEG4 format, and I've tried everything I can think of to get the remaining 4 on my iTunes.. I've dragged the files from the folder which they are in to my open iTunes, doesn't work.. I've gone through File and Import File as well as Import Folder, and nothing seems to work to get the remaining 4 videos on there. Any ideas as to what I should do?

I don't know about your specific issue, but I was able to figure out 'kinda' what's wrong. After looking extensively in other forums and posts I was able to figure out that if you can't open the file in QuickTime, the file is damaged. So I just redownloaded the file and it's working now, which is weird, but oh well.

How come I cannot put music from my library to my iPhone without syncing and losing music from my other computer?

I am having trouble putting music from my music library onto my iPhone without syncing. I have home sharing set up already, but not all of my music transferred. I do not want to lose the music I have my phone now. Is there anything I can do?

Not really. An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library at at time.

Putting music on ipod -- trouble.

heres the situation;
I put music on my ipod before and was all happy and stuff. but now since i got more songs, i want to put those on to my ipod too. the trouble is, when i try to click and drag files to my ipod, it won't transfer (i can't transfer, when my mouse goes over my connected ipod, it turns into a 'can't do' sign..you know, circle with diagonal lign through it.)
the names of songs on ipod are light grey, and there's a lock key symbol on the right of where it displays how much memory is left on ipod
is this an update problem or something? i need some help please

There are many different problems putting music on the iPod, this is one of them. Check there is enough memory on the iPod to put the music on and check the music is the right file for the iPod, otherwise I recommend you check out the Apple support pages or contact Apple.

im having trouble putting my music on my cell phone from i tunes can you assist me in doing so , please?

Hello Bam-bam20,
I have a couple of recommendations for you here.
First if you havent already, I would use the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/ to attempt to resolve the issue.
Steps one, three, and five to be exact. Here is step 1 to get you started on that:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
If the issue persists then I recommend resetting the iPhone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next try recreating the iTunes library and then try again.

I am have trouble getting music I have already purchased in the past to transfer to my phone after I did an update. The music is there and I can see it but it cannot be played when the music is put on shuffle. It just skips right past it? How do you fix?

I am having trouble.getting music that I have purchased in the past to transfer to my phone after I did recent update on the phone. I can see the music, it is in a lighter font and appears to still be there but will not play. When placed on shuffle it will skip right over this music. I have already paid for this music and have been able to play it at one time but that was before the update. Why can I not listen to this music anymore?

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try using a USB2 port. If you are already using a USB2 port disconnect any USB1 devices on that port (i.e. if it's got a hub on it).

How to put music in the app

Hi,
I just installed windows 8.1 on my new PC. The thing is, my OS is installed in an SSD while my other files are on another hard drive. I am having trouble adding music to the music app and picture videos etc....
I tried to put the songs in the music folder stored in the ssd and the music app works. However I would like to put all memory intensive files in the hard drive as my ssd will not be able to accommodate 3000 songs. I've tried the suggestions of the others
by hitting settings in the music app, then click choose Folder where we can get music. If the content is in the hard drive it will not recognize it, but if you put the music files in the music folder located in the ssd it will work.
Please help.
Thank you.

ITunes won't let me put music from Frostwire on it

My computer had a trojan on it, but luckily I got it off using Malaware. After I got it off, iTunes will not let me put music from Frostwire on it anymore. Ive done this with hundreds of songs before the virus, but now it won't seem to let me.
Please help me!
Thanks!

I'm not surprised to read you got some malware. It may have come from a Frostwire download.
Downloading "free" p2p music isn't so shiny anymore, is it.
My advice is to get your music from legal sources, and you will have no trouble adding them to itunes.
If I am misunderstanding Frostwire and it's a legal music downloading service, I am sure their support forums can help.

See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I want to put music onto my partners phone from my Mac computer. The message comes up that her phone is synced with another iTunes library (not in use anymore) and do I want to erase this iPhone and sync with this itunes library.

There is currently no music on her iPhone and all the apps are already in the iTunes library on the mac that I want to sync it to so its not a problem, the apps won't be lost.
My question is are photos and messages and contacts classified as iPhone contents? Because I don't want those to be wiped. So can I sync her phone to this iTunes library? I have not been able to find online whether or not photos and contacts will be lost.
Also her phone is already backed up on this computer because it gets plugged into it all the time we have just not tried to put music onto it yet until now.
Thanks for any help clarifying this
