TS1363 Is there any alternative to iTunes for copying music onto an iPod? I am sick to the back teeth of Apple and I am really getting annoyed at having to uninstall and reinstall iTunes every few weeks.
I have iTunes on 2 PCs, one running Windows 7 pro, the other running Windows 8. I also have 2 iPods which show up in Windows but not iTunes. Every time this happens I have to delete and download iTunes again, losing my library (nearly 10,000 tracks) in the process. I have had enough of Apple and their crap software as this problem has happened to me on previous computers as well and I think iTunes is crap. Is there some alternative I can use instead of iTunes to put music on my iPods?
If you have an iPod touch you could probably use DropBox.

Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.is there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PC anymore.i reset my pc and save my iTunes to a hard drive but can't access it.Need help please
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
Itunes wont load music onto my ipod touch
Ever since i updated to ios 4.3.5 and itunes 10.4, itunes wont transfer my music to my ipod touch 4g. It just says finishing sync and wont do anything else. Please help me
If it is purchased music from iTunes make sure your iTunes is still authorized on your computer.
If it is, try to manually sync the music to the ipod touch. Below is an article that will assist you in doing this.

Is there any alternatives to Configurator for creating custom Photoshop panels?
I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me.
So I was surprised that Adobe decided to stop supporting flash panels, starting with version CC 2014. I want to update Photoshop to CC 2014 but am unable to do so due to my custom panels (which DOES NOT work in said version!!): I would be handicapping myself by upgrading the software.
I've looked around for alternatives, but so far I haven't found any decent replacement to Configurator for creating HTML5-based panels. I know about PsTools but it appears to be limited to Tools only, and I need to both create a custom toolbar as well as custom panels for my most used filters and selection -actions. Also I know there's an API for creating HTML5 panels now, but I'm a 3D Artist - not a C++ programmer.
So what exactly are the alternative here?I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me.

I'm pretty sure it works for it but i can't get it to load when i install it in a folder and update my plugins through adobe audition. Anyone know how? or anyone know an alternative to that plugin, a plugin that aligns two takes of a the same vocal to make the timing correct?
I know some exist but i can never get one to work perfect with adobe audition.AAwesomeJ wrote:

There's a perfectly good solution built into Audition CS6 and CC - you don't need a plugin at all.
In Multitrack, go to Clip, and you'll find a menu item called Automatic Speech Aligner. It's meant to work with speech only (as they all are) but in fact it works pretty well with sung vocals. I'd give that a go first before looking for any other solution. -
Please help! I had about a 40 GB collection and it is devastating to have lost all of these memories.

How do I get Itunes to allow music onto 2nd Ipod?
I've got 2 Ipods (one for me, one for wife). When I plug my wife's Ipod into computer, Itunes recognizes it, but won't allow it to copy over some albums that were purchased back when DRM was the norm. Is it not possible to share an older bought album? I get this error message below....
"Some of the items in the Itunes library, including X, were not copied to the Ipod '(name)'s Ipod' because you are not authorized for them on this computer."
But the problem isn't the authorization of my computer, it already is authorized. Is there a way I can get Itunes to recognize this second Ipod and get this albums copied to the second Ipod? The home sharing information hasn't been helpful since it doesn't apply to just one computer.
thanks in advanceYou need to authorize your computer.
It has nothing to do with the ipod. You can sync as many of your ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

Hi all I recently rang my service provider to complain about my
iPhone 4. Iv done this several times but they always fob me off. This time I kicked off and they told me I would have to speak to apple. I did and they told me there was nothing they could do as my phone was out of warranty.
Its really frustrated me cause it's a widely publicised issue that apple dropped a complete bollock allowing such a major flaw ever get released and then they have the cheek to use the warranty as a reason. This issue should not have anything to do with warranty as it's a fault
With every single iPhone 4 out there. There should have been a recall and the issue resolved. Im disgusted apple and I won't be buying anything from any of your products again.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this as apple want to charge me to repair even though it's there fault this issue exists?
ThanksI have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Had to repair the HD using Disk Utility every few weeks- Big problem?
Hey guys,
I've used Onyx to verify my HD & it said that I needed to repair it. So I restarted using the Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD & it's been saying "Invalid file count" & "Invalid volume directory count" but it gets fixed. It seems like this happens around every few weeks. Is this a big problem? Anything I can do to prevent it?
Thanks,
DavidHello David
Yes they are replaceable but it's not straightforward. On the newest models it's easier/simpler to get into them but on the older models you needed a palette/putty knife and a good technique simply to get the top housing off. Inside there are a few small/thin/delicate connecting cables you need to be careful of. These two sites should give you more of an idea?

If this seems like too much hard work take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist or Genius Bar. They'll be happy to do it for you for a nominal fee. You get the best of both worlds then - peace of mind the job has been done expertly and a replaced hard drive with all your data transferred over.
HTH?

Yes.
You can use it as a removable disk but you won't be able to copy music to it.

Every few weeks I lose connectivity to my Netgear N router. Its becoming more frequent. All other devices in my home work fine (ipad, PC's, iphone, etc..). In order to work for a few more weeks, I reinstall the Netgear software (using Ethernet cable to router) . This is a hassle. I use WPA-2. Every once in a while I can reconnect without reinstalling the software if I go NEAR the router. But this connection doesn't last too long (a few hours).

"This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" Every few weeks
I have had an iTunes account for years with no issue. Lately, I have been receiving the dreaded "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" message every few weeks on my iPad 2(currenly, my only iOS device). I go through the process of reauthorizing my password and info and it works again for a while, then happens again some time later. It's getting annoying. I'm not sure what's changed. Only two computers are authorized to use my account and I am the only one who can log into either of them. No one knows my info and I live alone.
The only thing I can think is that it's a bot spamming my e-mail address and passwords in an attempt to hack my account. If that's the case, am I really going to have to go through this every few weeks just to use my iPad? Don't get me started on how stupid it is to have to type in your password to update existing apps. And that's usually when I find out, not when I actually purchase one.
Is anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering if it's more widespread. Some time ago, a chinese app was mysteriously purchased on my account. Apple refunded the purchase and reset my password. That was about the time that all of this started. The reviews on the app left no doubt that it was happening to numerous people and I have no idea how they would have forced a purchase on so many user accounts.Domin Harvey wrote:
PLEEEEEEEASE, please, please fix this!!
Everyone should keep a few things in mind:
This is an occasional problem affecting a vanishingly small percentage of the installed base. Look at the numbers of actual instances in just this thread, look at the gaps in time, etc.
Many many more ... me for example ... have never seen it at all. That doesn't mean it's not an irritation for those afflicted, but it does mean that it's not something likely to be seen as a critical issue affecting the whole base.
You aren't talking to Apple here in these user-to-user forums, at all, for any reason. This sort of communication is handled through their established Feedback links. If you can suggest a better way for them to handle things then make your thoughts and feelings known at —

I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help.
Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. -
I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support", so i did, now it wont recognise my iphone and says to unistall+install the 64-bit version of itunes so i did, again..and again..still nothing please help me?!
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
