Unique problem transferring songs...I think

Using Windows XP Home Edition
First, a short background...my computer crashed last month, and I lost my library. I eventually restored my library by transferring from my ipod. However, before I did that I had added about 10 new songs to the library. My library now shows all my songs. I have updated to current versions on itunes and my ipod mini. When I plug the ipod into the computer, itunes recognizes it. It updates automatically, but the 10 songs I added to library before transferring the old ones back will not update on the ipod. I have tried the manual update also. In addition, any new songs I add to the library now, will not transfer to my ipod. Any help or suggestions will be very appreciated.

Also, somehow I put the songs in my library twice so i have duplicates of every song. Is there an option to delete duplicates or do i have to maually delete them one by one?

Problem transfering songs 2 iPod

I dont know if it's my ipod or itunes. I can import tracks into my library with no problem. I transfer songs onto my ipod without problems. But when I look on it to find the tracks I just loaded, it has the artist for that cd listed about 5 or more times w/ all the tracks under each of the artist listings. which means I have 1 cd on my ipod listed 5 or more times. What can I do?????

That sounds odd.
DO you have lots of multiples in your iTunes library?
You might just want to restore the iPod to factory settings and sync it all again. Restore, not update....scroll to the bottom of this

UNRESOLVED problems transferring license (they think I'm lying)

I purchased Photoshop CS3 from Amazon.com. I have the install media, the serial number, the manual, the box, etc.
My desktop PC (VMware Virtual Machine, actually) crashed. On trying to reinstall, the activation tells me it is installed on too many machines. It is, my laptop and my crashed PC. I obviously cannot release the license on my crashed system, the .vmdk file is thoroughly broken. On calling support, I found that they doubt that I purchased it legally. I have plenty of physical evidence that I purchased it.
I admit that I'm not good at keeping receipts. Why would I? I bought this 3 or 4 months ago without problem. It installed and upgraded to 10.0.1 without problem. Never thought I would need to keep my receipt. Adobe is now telling me that if I cannot get a copy of the receipt, my only recourse is to purchase again.
I'm out over $400 if I cannot convince Amazon.com to send me a duplicate receipt. I sure hope they can do that for me.
I'm frustrated and angry at being called a liar and told that I did not purchase this legitimately from a legit store (as opposed to auction sites, I read about the problems there). I did NOT purchase from an auction site. If I cannot get Amazon to send me a copy of my receipt, I'm out $400.
Anyone else have this problem? What was your final resolution? I offered to fax or email scans of the media, the box, the manual, etc. Did you finally just give up and move to something else or did you finally get activated?
In the meantime, I have to find a way to maintain my photos.
Sigh... Rant over. I'm not done pushing this. I'm on the phone with Amazon trying to get a duplicate receipt. So far, no luck....
Thanks in advance for sympathies or, even better, advice on how to proceed.

"I found that they doubt that I purchased it legally.
[...snip...]

Did you purchase directly from Amazon, or from the Amazon Marketplace/3rd party?
Look at the Photoshop box & disk. Do you see the words "Printed in Singapore" anywhere on them? If you do you very likely have a bootleg and this may be why Adobe Support thinks you pirated it or bought an illegal copy. Even if you get it up and running, those bootleg copies have other problems associated with them where not all the tools and shortcuts work properly.
There have been some very authentic bootlegs produced and introduced into dependable inventory channels. Even some otherwise reputable dealers have been fooled...we've had other people here who've bought from Amazon and got caught out with a bootleg copy.
If you suspect that you have a bootlegged copy, contact the seller, and if they don't make good, report them to Adobe. You may want to report them to Adobe anyway, in an actual written/addressed/stamped letter sent through the post. Send a copy via email as well.

Small problem transfering songs and video to ipod

hey everyone.. so ive had the new ipod for about 2 weeks now, and i will say this, i have greatly enjoyed it and have had almost no problems with it, except for the one i bring to all of you today..
ive been searching the boards all morning and havent seen this problem addressed or answered..
ok, so here goes.. i have 2 cds that i purchased on itunes and 3 videos that i put on itunes that were converted with videora. these certain files show up on itunes but dont show up on my ipod..
here is what i have tried in means of troubleshooting.
i have tried to change the tags, in some cases itunes recognized it and updated it to my ipod. i see it transfering, so i say ok cool, then go to my ipod and the files arent there.
i have tried to put the ipod on the updater and erase everything and try to update it again with all the files, once again, it shows it updating but once i go to the ipod to listen or watch these files, they arent there..
now while these files arent ones that i absolutely have to have and listen to everyday, its still a bit upsetting that i cant play them on the occasions that i wish to..
so if anyone has any advice before i decide to take it to the apple store, it would be appreciated!
other than that, new ipod is awesome i love it!

I was able to transfer sogns from Frost to Itunes, but don't know how I did it. And now I need more and can't remember how. Were you ever successful in retrieving "coherent" directions?? Let me know.

UNIQUE problem downloading songs

I've been having a problem that no one seems to be able to solve. The folks at Apple Care sent me to the Music Store, and they sent me about 20 e-mails before giving up and referring me here. So here's the deal:
I've been downloading songs for years w/o problem. Then suddenly, all my downloads began freezing. There was never any error message or anything. They'd begin downloading at normal speed, and then at some point they'd just stop and freeze so I had to cancel the download. I go to advanced -> check for purchases about 6-7 times a day to try to recover them...same thing.
But the odd thing is that out the 50+ times a week I go to check for purchases, there's one time when it works perfectly and it downloads all the songs that I've been purchasing. But then when I start purchasing new music, I repeat everything above. So basically when I buy songs, I have to go to check for purchases 6-7 times a day, and pray for the 1 time out of 50 it will actually work.
I use a cable modem connection, and I didn't change providers. I didn't change anything actually, this just started happening. The only thing I've done is consistently upgrade to the new version of itunes.
I'd greatly appreciate anyone's help. Thanks

Problem transfering songs from itunes (bought off itunes) to iphone

i want to transfer a song i bought on itunes on my pc to my iphone but bloody itunes on my pc won't let me, why? what do i do? this is despite the fact that i only have one itunes account!

but bloody itunes on my pc won't let me, why?
I give up. Why?
what do i do?
No idea.
Perhaps you would give an explanation with what you have tried, what happens and explain any messages or windows that pop up.

I am having problems transferring songs from my computer to my iPhone.

I got a new laptop and installed all my music onto it, I also installed iTunes. When I connect my phone it brings up iTunes etc. but if I try to drag music from my "library" to my phone, it will not let me. Am I missing something? I know when I hooked my phone up to the laptop the first time it just recoginized it at a mobile phone, and a storage device, it did not try to dl iTunes automatically, I had to go the the dl site and get it manually.

The way I've always done it and someone may have a better way and if so, I'd be open to how it's done actually the correct way. Since this way has worked for me 100% in the past, why try and fix something that isn't really broken. Try my way and hopefully all will be good in the iPhone/iTunes world for you:
Find the directory (folder) on your computer that is named something close to this after first connecting your iPhone to your computer and then verifying (very important) you can see it in the folder list on the left side of the iTunes application window:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\
After locating this directory (folder) path,(it may or may not be on the C: drive depending on where you installed iTunes of course) simply copy all of your media (music, videos, etc.) to this folder and allow the copy to complete. Now, sit back and relax as iTunes "grabs" music from this folder one file at a time and more or less "checks" it to see if it's iPhone worthy of sorts.
When the copying and grabbing of files from this folder is complete, this folder will be empty. Yes, empty as all of the files that have been either added or not added depending on the quality (I guess) of each of the media files and have now been "added to iTunes". If the files were not added to the iTunes library, it's because they was some type of issue with the file quality or content or something.... not exactly sure how media files are "judged" by this process.
Now that this process is complete, right click on your "iPhone" which you should still see on the left side of the iTunes application window and then click "Backup iPhone" or something close to that. NOTE: I'm assuming you have already done this right click and performed a "transfer purchases" prior to doing this "Backup" process. After the backup process completes, right click the iPhone icon again and then click on "sync". The sync process will start and finish and when completed, you should now have all your music as well as everything else on your iPhone as well as your iTunes library.
Hope this helps and if not, I'm sorry I couldn't help after all. Have a good day!

Trouble transferring songs

Hey i have a problem transfering songs from itunes to my ipod. I have the latest version of itunes (12.1) and ipod 5, ios 8.13. whenever i attempt to manually add songs to my ipod, nothing happens. If i drag a single song under the ipod tab, it does its usual flash, but it never shows up on my ipod or recognizes a transfer through itunes. Is there an option in itunes i might've accidiently pressed that caused this? Im not sure how syncing is, but i dont want to because there are many songs i dont want on my ipod that i have on itunes.

wow.. im having the exact same problem.. like songs I have from CDs that I put on iTunes download perfectly fine.. I did everything possible and it still dosn't work.. if you figure it out let me know i have a post asking pretty much the same question. If you figure it out please tell me what you did. Thanks.

Strange problem when transfering songs

Hi Everyone,
I have a very strange problem when i transfer songs to my iphone.
When i transfering songs maually (dragging them from ITunes music library to my iphone) i can see that they are in my iphone (at "On This iPhone"),
but when im looking in my iphone (in the music library) im seeing only 70-80% of the songs.
And the strange thing is that i can see them if im searching them!
Please help.
Thank you!

I'll have to rephrase my question. Close this one.

PC crashes when transferring songs to ipod or using itunes..

1) Issue: When transferring songs to IPOD through the use of a PC(itunes or real player), a blue faulty screen will eventually show with some error and then my computer restarts. I have a bout 3800 songs for a 20GB IPOD and it seems to always stop around 4G when transferring. I tried using the IPOD on another computer and it seems to be fine.
2) Also, when I play music using iTunes, it causes the PC to crash as well, without the IPOD connected.
During the error report, it usually says there is an error with the Hard Drive(Western Digital 250 SATA 2 hard drive; hard to use a jumper to adjust to the SATA 1 settings of this motherboards) and it couldn’t’ read it for a second. It advises to to a ScanDisk?CHKDSK run, but when I do this(during reboot), it stops in STEP 4 out of 5 at 20-30% and does nothing. Did this for 1 day! Other error reports supposedly report a faulty device driver error and advise to update drivers, but I’ve updates Apple iTunes.
Contacted Hard Drive manufacturer, Western Digital, and they believe it is a controller device driver issue or something related. Tried updating the bios. Tried installing the VIA 4 for 1 drivers and other drivers in the Motherboards Installation CD. Running a Disk Tools before Microsoft even shows itself, reports no errors. However, when you are partially booted and the computer is scheduled to check the disk, there are errors(won’t move.) I see no update for controller device drivers
A3) lso, if I have a USB hard drive connected to the PC(such as an IPOD or external usb hard drive), sometimes the computer switches boot devices(hard drives) and thinks that the IPOD/External Hard drive is the boot device. This is also reflected in the BIOS and the USB connected hard drive replaces my main SATA hard drive(western digital) and my computer doesn’t completely reboot unless I go under the BIOS and change it. It’s weird because I DO NOT CHANGE THE BIOS. For some reason, it changes on its own.
I have no idea what’s going on. Please Help Me.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I transfer a folder of songs to my itunes library and i choose to transfer them all and only a few get transfered and then the error message comes up.

My newly transferred songs from my external hard drive to my ipod read as "Other" instead of "Audio" files

Okay, i need help bad.
Here's the issue. This is my 2nd iPod classic. My first one, which worked beautifully for several years, died. the drive went bad. A sales associate at the Apple Store said it just crapped out (she didn't use those exact words) and my options were to send it out for a new 80G to replace the bad one at $120, or buy a new one, which yielded only one size and one choice for the classic ipod, the 160G. So i sucked it up and bought the 160G. I wanted the extra storage space anyway.
Came home, hooked it up, and new ipod required a newer version of itunes to mount and manage mp3's. it's not iTunes 10, required for sync with iPhone, but newer than what i currently had at hook up, which was some version of 8 or 9. it's now version 9.2.1, to be exact. After installation was complete, iPod mounted and worked with new version of iTunes just fine. Just recently, I connected my external hard drive to my laptop to transfer music i had backed up from my old classic and iTunes. The transfer seemed to work fine, but now with my pod still connected, the newly transfered audio mp3 files are not in my library. The are stored as "Other" under the iPod Summary tab, NOT AUDIO. so i cannot listen to those 14,000 or so songs and albums i just transfered. This is completely frustrating. Can anyone help?? Thanks. How do i convert these to Audio Mp3 files instead of "other" so i can listen and manage in my library, and so they show in the artists menu?? I have "Manually manage songs" checked in the Summary tab. I think it's storing or acting as an external hard drive. Someone help, i'm really ****** off right now. I spent a lot of time d*cking around transferring songs i can't even listen to or make playlists from now. Thanks a lot!
< Edited By Host >

You maybe right, you transfer your 14k songs to your iPod under disk mode, so it don't appear as Audio.
To load your songs into Ipod Audio section, your must load them via iTunes, either Sync or Manually Manage your library, any other way, it just uses up space in the iPod Harddisk, and wont be on your iPod music menu.
So
1. Import your 14K songs into the iTunes library first. (read the iTunes help if you need instructions)
2. You can either Manually manage selected songs from the library or Sync all.
You can delete the songs in the Other section, by going into diskmode, use Finder and delete the 14K songs.
Good luck!

Problem transfering video to ipod......HELP PLEASE

i have put videos onto itunes(converted them using videoria)they show up on my itues and in my library but when i try to drag them onto my ipod it doesnt highlight. no response at all. i can only drag them to my "pary shuffle" i know this question has probly been answere a million times but i cant figure out what im doing wrong. im even looking in the folder that videoria saves the transfered songs. still no luck adding them to the ipod. please any feed back will help

I have had this problem, and it deals with the amount of data. It is the Average Bitrate, it should be below 500 kbps. Also try using handbrake or DVD2Pod. I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD and DVD2oneX to size the DVD to under 4.3 Gig. Also a program that helps is DVDxDV which truns a VOB file to a movie.

Nano 2nd Generation, Problems with Songs ???

Hello, I have transfered songs from my iTunes to my Nano and there is 2 songs that play for couple of seconds than just stops and goes to the next song. Weird thing is when i go to play the song directly from iTunes it plays normally. I have also downloaded the songs to my Ipod Video 30gb and the same exact songs play normal with no problems. ?????? I just dont understand whats wrong. I have even did the 5 R's and restored my Nano and still the same problems with just those 2 songs. I could just go without those 2 songs but, it just makes me curious to why it works in iTunes and on my Ipod Video 30gb, but not on the Nano. If you have had this problem before or know of a solution your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for taking the time to read this...
Ipod Nano 2nd Generation Other OS Windows Vista

I have this exact same problem, but after doing the 5 R's it is now cutting songs short that didn't have that problem before. Unlike Junz, I can't live with random songs being cut off. I am very interested in an answer as well.
