Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards john

Hello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

How to delete items from itunes library but not from computer

I was wondering if there is a way to remove items from my itunes library but still keep them on my computer in case I want to put them back in the library later. For instance, I bought the first season of Desperate Housewives, which takes up about 4.5 GB, and since I have the 30 GB ipod and lots of personally ripped DVDs, I'm running out of room. But it seems a waste to trash the files, since I paid for the show. I know I should back up the files to an external source anyway, and I've done that with my purchased music, but I don't have a DVD burner, and I'm not sure how many CDs it would take to back up the show. And I don't want to manually update the ipod because I think it's much easier to just plug it in and let it do its thing. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to that File(s) and right-Click to Remove; then it will ask you if you want to send it to the Recyle bin or Keep Files on your computer; Say Keep Files on your computer and should be fine.

My album artwork is showing up in my itunes library but not in itunes under ipod:music. help

When I'm in itunes my album artwork shows up in my library. But if i'm in itunes under my ipod:music it will not let me sort by Album, only Album by Artist, and absoluetly no artwork is there.help!

Even if you somehow lost the iTunes app and your OS, unless you reformatted the hard drive to restore, your song files (the iTunes data) may still be there. Look in your user home folder Music folder, for a folder called iTunes, and then iTunes Media. If you see that folder, your song files may be in there. If the hard drive was reformatted, obviously, nothing from before will be there.
For your question, iTunes syncing is generally one way, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod, by design. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once your iPod's song files are on the computer's drive, you can add them to your current empty iTunes library.

My recent podcasts are showing on iTunes site but not in podcast app or iTunes

Hi,
I've never used this forum before, but am struggling to find out what is going wrong with my podcasts.
I have a podcast that has been running fine for some time, but now no longer updates in the podcast app, or in my podcast subscriptions in iTunes.
This is the podcast >>> https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/slam-radio/id584845850
The last episode I can see in my iTunes podcast subscriptions and podcast app is episode 55, yet the most recent, episode 59, shows fine on the itunes website.
Is there a reason that I can listen to the most recent episode via the itunes site, but my subscriptions wont update?
It seems that the problem has been experienced by several people.
As far as I'm aware, I havent changed the way I do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 19th January ends like this -
"This year, I will exercise more.&quot...</itunes:summary>
As the '"' tag has been truncated you have an ampersand (indicating the start of a code sequence) but the code is never finished. This renders the rest of the feed unreadable, and as that includes the closing tags the entire feed is invalidated and iTunes cannot read it.
There's no reason to have all these '"' tags - just type " (iTunes won't render the code but will display it, which looks messy) - but in any case don't let a code be truncated like that or you will have this problem.
Incidentally it's better all round to start your own thread when you have a query, rather than tag on to an existing one which can cause confusion if a discussion is ongoing. You're also more likely to be noticed.

I purchased the following items and I can see them in my iTunes library but not on my iPod (Total Confidence HD, v2.0, Seller: Darren Marks|287310150 (4 ) and Confidence Now, v1.0, Seller: Tommy Connolly (4 ) )

I purchased the following from itune and they show in my library (on my computer) under Apps but don't show up in my iPod
1) Total Confidence HD, V2.0
2) Confidence Now, V1.0
Does any one know how to sync the Apps from my iTune library to my iPod?
PS. I have an iPod Classic

Hello amir,
Sorry, but Apps purchased from the App store are not compatible with your iPod classic. Apps are only compatible with an iPod Touch, iPhone, and/or iPad.

Transferring iTune Library -- but not content -- to my laptop

A few years ago my iTunes library got so big I had to put it on a separate hard drive. I access it through my laptop, which of course has to be connected by cable to the hard drive.
Now however, I want the ability to open iTunes on my laptop even if I am not plugged in to the hard drive. So I am hoping there is a way to move my 'library' (am I suing the right word?) to my laptop so that I can open iTuns whenever I want, even if it can't access all of the content -- which will still be on my hard drive.
Is this possible, and if so how?
Also, if it is possible, will I be able to access all of my music on the cloud from my laptop when it isn't plugged into the hard drive, or does whatever has the library on it have to forgo the option to play music off of the cloud?
Thanks in advance...

There's ways to do some of what you want to do but it won't be pretty, nor what you really want to do, nor easy to maintain, and I don't know if I am ready to spend 20 minutes typing in instructions which would also probably need me to test them on my computer which I am not prepared to do. I'll go the easy route and make these offerings:
I am pretty sure playing music on your laptop off the Cloud downloads it to your designated media folder so it will end up on your computer like it or not.
You don't have to start iTunes from your main library. You can start iTunes on your computer without your drive turned on. iTunes will go back to using the default location and create a new, blank library or use one it finds there. Do what you want with it. Next time you want to use your old library, start the external drive, then start iTunes while holding down the option/alt and guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive.

Import iTunes Library, but not files from PC to Mac - files are on extHDD

Hi everyone.
I have bought a Macbook Pro to replace my old PC. All my music-files are on a NAS-server.
Now I need to move my PC iTunes-library-file (with covers and playlists) to the Macbook, but how?
I have copypasted the library.xml to the mac, but can't figure out how to chane the path in the XML-file.
Is there a piece of software, that does the trick easily?
Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
I have the similar situation. Got a new Mac and transferring iTunes library to the new Mac. The iTunes is in the external drive. But it sees iTunes (10.1) didn't recognize the XML file while I choose "Add to Library"
What I did was: I change the iTunes library (library.xml) to the external drive. Then I use Import Playlist feature. My library was importing along with the play count and the rating.
Then I import the real playlist file to finalize all import.
I hope it works for you if you haven't fixed it.

Music in itunes library but not on ipod

I just recently got a new computer and was able to burn all of my songs onto my new pc into a folder. I then added the folder to my itunes library. The music can play just fine off of my computer but it doesn't load the songs onto my ipod. So i cant play them on my ipod, just off my computer in itunes. I'm stuck.

I transferred them to the folder by using one of the free programs that copies music files onto your computer. i just tried to right click and sync but it says that "an unknown error occured (-69)".

After changing laptops, i am unable to add songs into my iPhone 4. The song appears in the library but not in the device. Help!

I have not been able to add songs into my iPhone after switching computers. The mp3 format of these current songs are in the old laptop and i am unabe to retrieve them. In the new laptop, i am unable to add songs to my device, only to the iTunes library.

Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library. Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
1. Sign in to iTunes Store;
2. Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
3. Make secure backup of library;
4. Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
5. Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
6. Once complete synchronise with library as required
At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

My songs show up in the iTunes library but not on my iPod

I had my songs on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation for and I plugged it in over night. The next day I went to my music on my iPod and it said "No content available. Download songs from iTunes" I went to iTunes on my Dell computer and they are all there. I got most songs back except for ones I recently purchased.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I see/play TV Shows in iTunes view but not on iPhone

When I connect my iPhone4S to my MBAir and view the iPhone's files (via iTunes) I see that there are 37 "TV Shows" listed. I can even click the play button and they play (in iTunes, on my computer). My iPhone shows (at the bottom of the iTunes window) that it thinks it has a lot of "Video" (over 3.5 gb) stored on it. However, when I fire up the "Video" app on the phone itself there are NO videos.
Sync doesn't help since these videos are not on my MBAir -- they are only (now) on the iPhone.
Am I using the wrong app to view them? How can I get to them on my iPhone, to watch them there?
Thanks!
~ Keri

Jeff, Thanks alot dude, you were right I went into summary and I did have unwatched videos checked, I changed it to 1 most recent episode,and my tv show came right back on, You are an IPOD WHIZ KID, Give me your direct email address so if I occur any other IPOD problems you are the one to contact, Once again thank you very much.You don't know how happy you just made me. I also now know that I can change my preference to anything that I like, Thank you.

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes library , but not working

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

Apple TV can see iTunes library but can't load content (intermittently)

I have intermittently been experiencing an issue where the Apple TV shows my iTunes library, but when I select it, no artwork appears for any of the categories (Music, Movies, etc.) If I select a category, it says it is loading, but never does. It shows the loading page for an extended period of time.
Connectivity otherwise seems fine. My iPhone/iPad remote apps still find the Apple TV, although they can not select my iMac library separately to play content through the Apple TV the way they should be able to, even though they see the library. My iMac and Apple TV are both connected by ethernet. I use an AirPort Extreme as the router, but the Apple TV has a wired connection through that router. My network/router situation has been pretty solid. I had (different) issues with my 1st gen Apple TV and as part of the troubleshooting for that totally reworked our setup and gave the computer and Apple TV both a wired connection. It didn't help that problem and I don't think it's related here.
I tried closing and re-opening iTunes, turning on and off home sharing including not pressing "done" as people here have suggested for other issues, and rebooting the computer. I tried with a MacBook Pro also, and I have the same isue. When this happens, it affects the iTunes libraries on both computers. Finally I reset the router and rebooted the Apple TV itself. It then started working again. I'm not sure which of those helped since I did them at the same time.
Once when this happened to my husband, he just gave up, and several hours later (presumably after the Apple TV and iMac had both gone to sleep and woken up), it worked again without rebooting or resetting anything.

Hi All,
Same issue here. Just upgraded (?) from the previous version of Apple TV, to the new Apple TV2. Like others here, my main problems seem to be with unreliable streaming from iTunes 10 on my PowerMac (Quad G5, Leopard OSX).
My original AppleTV had no issues w/the wireless network, or synching w/my PowerMac.
The network connection from the ATV2 are fine, and have no issues accessing the Apple Store (for movies, TV shows), or accessing Netflix. The access to the internet from my ATV2 is quite robust.
My problems are with keeping a constant, reliable wireless connection to my PowerMac, via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
I have tried multiple restarts, reboots, reset ATV2 to original settings, tried different wireless channels on the Airport Extreme, verified I have Home Sharing properly enabled in iTunes,etc, but no luck so far.
What I'm seeing is when I access my iTunes on my computer, I can see my library, and then if I start to "shuffle songs" I may get 1 to 3 songs to play fine, but then the music stops, and I can no longer access the music/movies/etc in iTunes any longer. When I then go to my PowerMac, it has lost most bars of signal strength on the wireless network (although all other devices show strong signal strength), and I have to Turn AirPort Off, then Turn AirPort On and I then am reconnected to the wireless network with good signal.
I then go back to the ATV2, connect to my iTunes, start my music, and then 1-2 songs later it again stops playing, and I go through this all over again.
It seems as though there is something on the wireless network between the ATV2 and my PowerMac that causes it to lose connection, and I have to manually start again. The problem is that the connection is not robust, and only lasts a few minutes.
Hope this gets solved soon.
Regards
Tom
