Trouble sharing from windows desktop iTunes to IOS devices

When sharing from windows 7 desktop iTunes to IOS device using the music app, some songs will not play. They just scroll through the titles until it finds one that will play.  Seems that m4p will not play but others will.  What's the fix?

Okay, I figured it out!  Automatically shows up when you create!

  • Export .band file from Windows PC to an iOS device?

    I want to send a .band file from My PC to an iPad with Garageband.
    iTunes wont let me drag and drop the file into my iPad.
    .band files aren't recognized by my PC.
    I can't find this question/solution anywhere on the interwebs.
    Background:
    My friend, living 100s of miles away, has a Mac with Garageband. He is sending me a project and I want to recut the song, and I thought I could do that on my iPad. I just bought Garageband a few days ago for iOS (so I'm alittle new to GB). I don't have a mac; just an old PC.
    Would these work:
    1.Can I import each of the seperate tracks from iTunes into 1 project on the iPad? I don't know how.
    2.Should my friend email it,uncompressed, to me and open it from my iPad? Would that work, regardless of how big the file is? (it wont work with dropbox)
    3. Could I do this on a Mac that doesn't have Garageband? Will I need iTunes on that computer?
    4. Could I download something on my PC to make it possible to drag the file into iTunes?

    GarageBand on a Mac and GarageBand on an iPad are very different applications. You can share GarageBand projects created on an iPad to your Mac by syncing with iTunes or sharing it to iCloud, but GarageBand projects created on a Mac are not necessarily compatible with GarageBand on iPad. There is no official way to upload these projects to an iPad. If you create a project on your iPad, your friend could finish it on his mac, if you use the same iCloud account, but the other way around is not supported. See this discussion on GarageBand and PC:
    Re: Can I drag a .band file created on my iPad BACK into GarageBand to edit again?

    Morning JJFH,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If after setting up Home Sharing, you cannot access your shared iTunes library over your home network from your Apple TV, take a look at this article:

  • I imported an audio file from windows to itunes on my pc, how do i get that onto my iphone?

    I imported an audio file from windows to itunes on my pc, how do i get that onto my iphone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Assuming it's in the correct format, select your phone from the device list in iTunes on your computer, select the music tab and check the music you wish to sync.

  • HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop  iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

    Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
    With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
    Am I missing something?

    If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

    I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

    You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
    The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
    Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

  • How do I transfer pdf documents from my pc to my iOS device?

    How do I transfer a pdf document from my pc to my iOS device?  How do I tranfer a pdf document from my iOS device to my pc?

    The document Charu mentioned is great, but it is slightly out of date and missing one important method that I use frequently. I like to go to http://files.acrobat.com and upload files to my Acrobat.com account. The uploader there allows me to upload multiple documents at the same time (shift clicking on them on my PC or cmd-clicking on them on my Mac). Then, I connect my Adobe Reader to my Acrobat.com account and I can see all of those files!

  • All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server.  Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page.  If they are gone, then they are really gone.
    Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago.  Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones.  My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
    What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted?  (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

  • Merge two iTunes Libraries?  From Windows Desktop PC to Mac Laptop?

    I have just bought a new Mac laptop and would like to move all my iTunes stuff over onto the laptop from my old Windows desktop PC. While this situation is problematic enough, I also happen to have some 100+ songs on the laptop that need to stay, so I'm wary of simply copying files over and overriding things. I don't want those songs, playcounts and playlists to be lost.
    As far as transferring the data goes, unless networking these computers is best, I'd like to use an external harddrive. The external drive has always been used with Windows computers in the past - will that pose a problem?

    Download and use this tool. The drive's format shouldn't be a problem.

  • Can i remote from my windows desktop into my ios 7

    Am I able to use a remote application, such as Teamview from my windows 8 OS to IOS 7 macbook pro?  Thank you.

    Gail thank you so much.  First to the gentleman who corrected me inappropriately.  I am a newbie to the Apple Family/ World.  I am a newbie senior adult to the technical terms. 
    I own a 15" MacBook Pro my operating system is Lion  Vs 7.
    I am familiar with remoting into my Windows 8 desktop ( utilizing TeamViewer free remote program).  I have a friend who purchased  a MacBookPro and wanted to remote from my Windows desktop into their Mac for tech support.  I.e. setting up the Apple Setting Preferences.
    SInce I am unfamiliar with remoting Mac-to-Mac ....I reached out to this forum.   I sincerely appreciate the quick feedback.
    Again ......Thx Gail from Maine...., I'm interested in any and all tutorials!

  • For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

    I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
    Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
    The gist of what you need to do:
    Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

    How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

  • Syncing photos from several folders in iTunes to iOS devices

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up iTunes to sync photos on my MacBook Pro to my iOS devices (first of all, my iPhone 5, but to my iPad mini and iPad 3 as well).
    I happen to store my photos in a folder with a several level hierarchy: in the main photo folder there are folders for each year, in those there are folders for each event, and in those there is a separate folder for the subset of my photos that I want to be synced (photos that I like the most).
    Apparently, iTunes allows to select folders for syncing in only 1 level of hierarchy.  That would mean that one must not have separate folders for each year, nor for good and not-so-good photos - only one basic photo folder, and inside that folders for each event, and so every photo from selected events would be synced.
    I tried a workaround: I created a specific new folder especially for syncing purposes, and I defined Smart Folders inside it.  These Smart Folders would contain my desired photos virtually.  (I didn't want to make physical copies of my photos, because I did not want to waste disc space.)  But then it turned out that iTunes does not recognize photos in Smart Folders, only those in physical folders.
    Can you give me a solution, how could I sync photos in iTunes to my iOS devices, if these photos are not in folders that are only one but more level deep in hierarchy?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mikulka

    It works the way it works. I'd recommend you create a separate folder for any photos that you want to put on your devices, with one layer of subfolders as separate albums. Each device can sync with a different selection of those album folders.

  • HT204406 itunes match playlists from imac not appearing on ios devices

    I've finally gotten my entire iTunes library onto iTunes Match.  (Be patient folks, it only took 4 weeks for my entire library to load!)
    However, the Playlists that I've created on my iMac are not appearing on any of my IOS devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
    Can anybody help me with what needs to be done on my iPhone and iPad to import my iTunes playlists from my iMac?
    Thanks in advance!

    The cause is likely to be a corruption of the iTunes library on the iPhone.  The neatest route is to reset the iPhone to factory condition.
    The alternate is to remove the iPhone library files and force it to rebuild them - this is a little more complex but has the upside that you do not need to recreate content on the iPhone, the steps needed are:
    1. Connect iPhone, open iExplorer (or equivalent)
    2. Navigate to iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control\iTunes
    3. Delete these 3 files:
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shm
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal
    4. Hard reboot the iPhone (home button + sleep/wake button, hold until you see the apple logo)
    Hope that these will work for you - the simplest alternates is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22457142#22457142

  • Transfering huge play list from windows to Itunes.

    it has been a while since i synced music to my ipod,and now i cannot figure out how to transfer songs from windows media player to itunes.The playlist has a lot of songs,and my music files are not organized,so it would take a long time to copy and paste songs to itunes. I do not remember if there is a chance of copying one play list to another. Thank you.

    You might find this thread has some useful ideas. You should be able to add all your iTunes compatible media to iTunes without duplicating it.
