Unable to sync TV Shows to ipod video.  New hard drive

I had a bad hard drive and recovered the data. iTunes has all the music and Tv shows that I saved and the I had purchased. All music syncs to ipod but TV Shows won't.
when i try to deauthorize, the error message is:
*We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.*
I am logged in to the store also.

Incredibly, Mike 57's technique works. What's even more incredible is how such a huge bug - failure to sync purchased movies upoloaded from iTunes - got into a production release.
Whoops, I forgot! This is Apple, the company that can do no wrong. Mindless loyalty to Apple has let them get away with such foolishness for decades. I wonder how many Apple TV units have been returned because of this bug. Thousands?
No problem for Apple, with 100 million iPods out there and the kewlest corporate image in the biz. These days, as in the past, brand image is more important than reality.

  • How can I transfer outlook data from Ipod to new hard drive?

    My hard drive had to be replaced last week. Although my music was backed up by Norton 360, my Outlook contacts and calendar were not backed up. How can I transfer my data from my Ipod to my new hard drive? I am running Windowa XP, if that matters. Will a sync to Itunes destroy all my data on my Ipod?

    You would need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Old ipod Touch, new hard drive on old computer

    My laptop recently crashed and I was unable to get a backup of my music.
    It was taken away and a new hard drive was put in, now it's fine.
    Here's the problem. My music's still on my ipod, is there any way to get it back on my computer through the ipod?
    If not is there at least a way I can put new music on the ipod without deleting the music I had on it before?

    Hi,
    There are lots of applications for this task available, just Google.
    This question has been answered many times on this forum e.g see this post from [Zevoneer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8618988&#8618988]

  • How to add files from iPod to new hard drive after krasch?

    My hard drive recently crasched. I use my iPod as back up. But now, I cannot find out how to copy the files back to the new hard drive on the computor. The iTune program only advices me to delite all information on the iPod to substitute it with the much lesser library on the computer. Obviously it must be possible to copy in both directions. But how do I do it?

    Thank you for your advise. That's one thing I learned. Not to assume that people know about backing up. I would have recommended it a long time ago. That's one thing that Apple or other computer stores should offer, external backup package or combo to make people aware of it's importance. Just a thought!
    Anyway, I do have a little background in troubleshooting. I thought it's a Mac security issue. I would want to try other options before deciding in opening the computer and taking out thehard drive as it is not as convenient as opening a PC.
    Apple does make external hard drives available at the Apple Store, however it is an end users responsibility to backup their system. Apple does offer classes to new users and their 1:1 service too, whether the subject of backing up is mentioned in these I do not know. The subject of backing up as a class "subject" may be something you may want to mention to Apple a www.apple.com/feedback.
    Many users go through the same pain as your friend, myself included! However once you go through the pain, it is a lesson seldom forgotten.
    Many experiences users on these forums have redundant methods of backing up. When it comes to backing up redundancy is wise, why because a backup can (and often do) fail too. For example, in addition to using Time Machine, I also have another EHD that I use to create a bootable clone of my computer. That way if both my internal drive and TM back fails the worst that will happen is I have a system I can boot from that is a day or so old and continue running until I get all my systems fixed.

  • Many Problems With Ipod Video--Corrupt Hard Drive?

    Hello,
    I got this iPod 30 GB the christmas of 2005. Ever since a few weeks ago, my iPod started giving me my corrupt messages, so then, I kept restoring and it was fine. This again happened to me recently and haven't resolved it yet. So here is my story:
    I did the 5R's = Nothing
    I renamed it later in the alphabet = Nothing.
    I also must add that I have plugged it in and when I go to 'my computer' to try and format like others said, it freezes; on the 'my computer' & 'iTunes'. I really hope you guys can help me.
    I also noticed when I was looking at the about section on my iPod, it says my capacity is like 27.8 GB and available is 10.4 GB, so I don't know if that will help.
    I really don't want to buy a new one and hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance.

    No problem. Have you tried this iPod on another computer?
    Also, while everything else is disconnected, connect your iPod and force it into disk mode. If your computer can see it, reformat your iPod (FAT32, not a quick format) and then give it a drive letter of M or P.
    Disconnect the iPod and reload the USB Driver:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    Pay attention to the last item in the article, and reload the USB driver even if no new ones are available for your computer.
    Reconnect your iPod and see if you can Restore it.

  • Transferring songs from my Ipod to new hard drive

    I had to remove work related programs (and my ipod library),from an office laptop computer I brought home. I transferred some stuff (including wife and kids itunes libraries), from the old home computer to the new (old)laptop,downloaded itunes and it restored their libraries. When I plug my ipod in to it I get the "itunes can only be on one computer" message and asks if I want to erase ipod songs and replce with this library (pretty sure it means my wife and kids). I authorized this computer and my ipod id came up, but then same message came up again. Anyone have any experience restoring itunes library on a new (old) machine from ipod?

    If everything that is on iTunes that was on the library then pressing erase and sync will reload the iPod and link it to the library of your home computer. However if the content of the iPod is not on your computer when you get the that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Hard Drive Dead.  How do I upload songs from Ipod to new hard drive?

    The hard drive on my computer crashed, and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I did not have the old drive backed up and lost all my data, including my Itunes library - $90 or so in purchased ITune songs plus a tonn of songs from my CD collection. So, I now have my stagnant Ipod and am unable to expand its library without starting from scratch.
    Is there a way to upload my entire library from my 30G Ipod to my new computer, running ITunes 7.02 (or the latest software edition I just downloaded)?
    HELP!!!

    Well I guess the lesson learned is BACK UP! Don't let it happen to you again. To answer your questions...

  • My IPhone used to be synced to my computer.  A new hard drive was installed and now the phone says it's syncing, then a message appears saying the next time my computer is available is will sync.  I've followed the instructions and no success.

    My hard drive burned up and had to be replaced.  When I tried to sync my IPhone after my computer repair, the phone says it's syncing and the icons spin, but nothing happens.  In a few seconds a message appears saying it will sync the next time my computer is available.  I have gone through the instructions and procedures for syncing four times and can not get the thing to sync.  Apparently the phone hasn't synced in a long time.  What do I do to sync my phone again?

    jrmetzger,
    iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
    Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.

  • IMac Hard Drive Crashed - Need to get music from iPod to new hard drive

    The 250GB hard drive on my iMac crashed - totally fried. It's been replaced and the operating system and software reinstalled. The problem - I have 22GB of music on my iPod (5G, 60GB) that I'd like to get back onto the computer. All music is legal - ripped from my library of 500+ CD's. The iPod is already set to manual updates and for use as a disc drive.
    Someone please tell me there's a way to do this without having to rip all 500 CD's again...

    Check this link for lots of solutions for that:

    If they are songs you purchased plug your iPod in and in iTunes select "File > Transfer Purchased Music From iPod".

  • Unable to Load Mac OS Mountain Lion On new Hard Drive

    So recently my internal Hard Drive in my Mid 2012 Mac book Pro has stopped functioning, so i made a trip to best by to get a new one. But once i boot from the  my Mountain Lion Disk and select Disk Utility I am unable to format my drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried going to the partition Tab and selecting GUID in the setting Option but i still get the error, Partition Failed with the Error : File System Formatter Failed. I've tried Verifying and Repairing the Drive but it says my Drive is Ok. Formatting my Hard Drive to any other Type other then Mac OS Extended Will work.

    Try going to the partition if there is one, not the top level drive, and select the erase tab.

  • Best way to migrate iTunes and iPod to new hard drive

    Currently, my iTunes Library is referencing music files that sit on my music data drive (E:drive). My Library is actually on another data drive (D: drive), while my OS and apps are on the C: drive. I also have a networked Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive that has a duplicate copy of all of my music files.
    One of the reasons I have the NAS is to have 24/7 access to my music files through a Sonos Zone Player system (highly recommend this) hooked up to my stereo. The Sonos player is able to pickup all of my playlists but because iTunes creates the plalists thinking that all of the songs reside on my E:drive, they are broken links as far as Sonos is concerned.
    So my quesion is, what is the best way to redirect my iTunes Library so that it pulls the songs from the NAS rather than my internal E:drive? Since the NAS is always on, I don't care that when I want to play songs on my computer, it pulls them off of the NAS. In "migrating" the music file links, I'd like to maintain all of my rankings, play counts, and playlists. Is this possible?
    If not, then at a minimum, I'll be swapping out my E:drive for a larger one and need to know the best way to migrate the music files. It would be simple to just take out my current music file drive, swap in the new drive, and copy the files from the NAS drive onto the new drive. Do I need to de-authorize my computer at the start so iTunes doesn't think I'm giving permission to a new computer? Will my play counts, ratings, and playlists still show up? Regarding the latter, I'm guessing yes since the Music Library isn't being touched (on the D: drive).
    Hope this makes sense to someone.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Well, you'll need to reinstall iTunes and the iPod updater.
    Did you happen to save the iTunes library file?
    What are the iTunes library files?

  • Unable to install clean Recovery & Application/drivers on new hard drive

    My HDD failed on Satillite P25-s526. I replaced it with OEM new drive. Also upgraded the RAM from 512mb to 2GB's. I have attempted to do a full recovery of the system using DVD which came with the computer.  DVD formats partitions in new HDD, loads the restore tool & downloads. Upon completion, Restore Tool indicated 100% complete. Recovery Disk removed when indicated & system states "Please wait while windows prepares to start...". After a short while, the screen goes dark but the HDD indicator light indicates it's still processing. After a short period, the computer does nothing! I have left it on for at least 1 hour to see if it would reboot. Nothing! Upon restart, I do not get the Toshiba splash screen & the OS starts with the Windows XP/SP1 screen and then the screen goes blank! Boot to Safe Mode loads and then a pop up indicated that only part of the OS loaded and to reload. I have done this twice with the same results. Any ideas on what to try next?   

    Thank you for your quick response. I have been able to confirm that the new hard drive is in fact, the exact model and nominclature as the original (MK8025GAS HDD2188). I have also rechecked that I installed it correctly, since the HDD can be configured as both master or slave.  SET UP acknowledges the hard drive and it's capacity.The Rec & App/Drivers DVD appears to be in good working order.  I have been assured by the manufacturer that the HDD supplied is the exact replacement to the original and is not have ATF.
    Toshiba trouleshooting for this HDD states that reports of systems not being able to recognize all available capacity of this hard drive & offers two 3rd party suggestions to correct the issue. They are EZ DRIVE by Micro House and Disk Manager DiskGo by Ontrack. Unfortunately, neither would do me any good since I cannot install them in the computer present condition. Further more, I'm not sure that they would help since SET UP indicates formatted Capacity of 80.012GB.
    I was running Vista SP3 when the HDD crashed, I wonder if the drivers etc. have not reverted back to their original configuration with the Rec & App/Drives Disk?  Grasping for straws now!

  • Unable to restore time machine backup onto a new hard drive

    I recently bought a new hard drive for my mid-2010 white Macbook. I have kept this computer regularly backed up with time machine, but just to be sure I made sure I hooked up my external hard drive prior to changing the hard drive and made sure it was fully backed up. I checked my exceptions and saw that my system files and applications were listed, so I removed them from the exceptions list and let it back up again (it only backed up a further 60MB though, so that made me a little uneasy).
    I successfully switched over the hard drive and then plugged in my external hard drive so I could do a restore from Time Machine. My external hard drive has 3 partitions: 2 time machine backups for each of my computers, and one partition for storing files that also has an old copy of 10.6 on it.
    When I booted the computer, I held option, then selected Macbook TM. When it came to the window with 4 options, including disk utility and restore from time machine backup, I selected restore from Time Machine backup. When I did so it said "No OS X Backups Were Found." Why wouldn't it have backups listed if I have been consistently backing it up? How else do I do a full system backup?
    Also, how can I be sure that I'm restoring this backup onto the new hard drive? It didn't prompt me to select that drive at any point, and I want to make sure I'm not overwriting the middle partition on the backup drive (or anything else).

    Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    You will find that Mountain Lion stores an invisible copy of the Recovery HD. You can boot from your Time Machine backup drive by restarting with OPTION boot:
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the disk icon for your Time Machine backup drive.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Your computer should boot into the Recovery HD. You will be presented with a main window of options. Select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup then click on the Continue button.
